The Bulls Joakim Noah's father is Yannick Noah...the former tennis pro from Cameroon -- and his mom is former Miss Sweden, Cecilia Rhode. He's swirlin' in St. Barts (scroll down): http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/...and-nude-girlfriend-on-the-beach-in-st-barts/ Joakim's mom. She's still got it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeancosme/730584667/ The Kid Rasta
Why do have to keep on having the same argument about who is Black, and who is not??? Black peeps come in all different shades. For example, does anyone doubt that Colin Powell is Black??? What about the prez??? You don't have to be as dark as Wesley Snipes to be considered Black. Joakim's father is West African (from Cameroon), and his mother is Swedish. Let put this bullshit argument to rest for good. The Kid Rasta
By U.S standards,yes. If we were to suddenly not consider mulattoes black,then we'd have to not consider Fredrick Douglass,Web Dubois,and a whole alot of other "black" leaders of the past,as black. But outside of the U.S (where the world turns),they arent considered Black. I dont care,Obama technically,isnt black to me. Hes Biracial,even though he calls himself a black man.If biracials want to identify as blacks then by all means,they can do so. But in my mind,they'll always be biracial to me
