And if he is,he'll win a all you can eat meal at greasy grady's!!
What then...he gets rid of the sock???...
I really don't know what it will mean, hehehehehehehehe......!
What sock???
It seems impossible that HE may be black but I do know "white-passing" celebrities who turn out to be half-black, like Depeche Mode's Martin Gore, Wentworth Miller and Jennifer Beals. That said, yeah, Tom Jones may be jiving.
I remember a few were shocked to learn that Slash was black LOL!Quote:

I'm also a life-long rock fan, so I follow this stuff. It has been said that Slash allegedly had issues with Axl Rose's lyrics to the song "One In A Million".Quote:

She was fine enough to have been.
so has Tom Jones got the results?
Attachment 10603
There is no doubt that Tom Jones has African blood in him [[as we ALL do, from 80,000 to 100,000 years ago. The question is whether or not he has blood markers from the haplogroups that left Africa between 60,000 and 75,000 years ago, and whether or not he has any that left Africa for Europe in the Middle Ages or during the modern period, starting in 1500 AD. Being a Welshman, whose family stayed in Wales, I rather doubt the latter. His olive skin and curly to kinky hair may have come from the aborigines of the Atlantic Coast of Europe, who first moved north from Africa to Spain, and then northward along the Atlantic coast through modern France through The Netherlands and The British Isles [[which were then attached to Continental Europe), then on through Denmark and the west coast of Norway, and account for the darker-skinned black-haired people of the coastal areas of those countries. Those people migrated north from Africa after the last ice-age ended around 12,000 to 10,000 years ago.
That's why I totally didn't laugh at the suggestion Tom may have black African blood... stuff were nuts back in those days!
hey robb,you may be the smartest guy here...and the oldest,hehehe!!!Quote:

Well, many climatologists call the period 1600 to the 1940s "The Little Ice Age". I grew up during the late 1940s and early '50s with an ice rink for a backyard half the year. :cool:
It's not a PC world, not by a long shot! People are more rude than ever before! I wish it were more PC!Quote:

The racists would come out.
Attachment 10630
And what would the White racists say? ........that humans were created by God in Europe, and that Africans are apes [[and, thus, NOT human)? They would have to be "Creationists", as they can't accept Darwin's concept of evolution, as that would prove that their ancestors came from Africa, and prove that all humans are very closely related.
Then, what's Dr. Ben Carson's excuse? :DQuote:

Yeah, now what are the racists going to say? When it was Obama, they accused Blacks of voting for him just because he's Black. Well, Ben Carson isn't even mixed, both of his parents were born here, so what are they going to say when Blacks reject him?Quote:
