What about intercultural? It doesn't have to be about race. And what was your grandfather? |
Everybody has just married/had children with other African-Americans. My grandfather is Cape Verdean descent from Portugal...I think that may be considered black? I am honestly not sure because I don't know if he considers himself black...I don't think his parents considered themselves black... |
I can't tell you how he considers himself but he could very likely have african in him. Cape Verde is an island of the coast of Africa and it was very busy in the slave trade. This is probably the most famous cape verdean artist, she had an amazing voice beautiful voice (Cesaria Evora), I have a cd of hers. They don't all look like Kanye's ex
