Hotep Brothers. Mr. Philly, you have posed a very all too common question w/regards to your ancestoral makeup. This is a very complex yet rather simple subject matter. For starters please obtain Frances Cress Welsing's "The Isis Papers" and examine her finding and view of the BLACK GENE and its dominance. You will be able to grasp part of the answer through Welsing's work, but you must go deeper and conduct empirical research and thought provoking analysis whereas you will come to terms w/the importance of tackling Psychophisiological Historical Synthesis and you will surely begin to awaken to the FACT that due to the BLACKMAN'S GENETIC MAKEUP and GREATNESS there exists an underlying FACT, that his GREATNESS is in QUALITY not QUANTITY! One can have fair skin yet be w/more VISION than a SELL-OUT who is as dark as TAYE DIGGS. Catch my drift? You dig where I am coming from? Your GENETIC composition by virtue of you having a BLACK MAN in your GENETIC TREE is cause for you to rejoice and smile. Your stating of having irish genetic composition is really no big deal. The "luck of the irish" is pale in comparison and is of NO MATCH to the "POWER of the AFRIKAN!" Stay tuned. more to follow.
