I just found out that i have have some african-american genetics floating around in here!
my great-grandmother passed away at the ripe old age of 104 last week, and it instigated some digging in the roots of the family tree.
apparently, there were several marriages with black folk in south carolina in the last century on my dad's side of the family, all of whom hail from the deep south.
sweet-ass! i'm gonna turn this into a research project and really find out what's up for sure.
