      I was just trying to figure that out myself. Probably I'd have both Lennox and Jackson as African (or Afro- I ain't quite sure of the current nomenclature) Caribbean. I guess you'd have to ask 'em though.

        Lewis is Jamaican so he's definitely Caribbean..... I really don't know what you'd call JJ as he even sounds Caribbean. For instance Tim Duncan an African American was born in the ****** Islands.

          Yeah it's one of those slightly odd ones, culturally I think Caribbeans tend to self-identify as such, but as the US ******* are territorially part of the US - so..? Like I say, I guess you'd have to respect the individuals right to choose. The question is kind of moot in this instance, however, cos' Jackson ain't really close to the top 10 African Americans in history (IMO at least) but might become more important if you were to compile a list of the top Afro-Caribbean boxers.

                  We are all immigrants originally from Ethiopia you ******ed race-baiter.
                  Here's an example (I can use cartoons in subsequent examples if it helps):
                  Idiots on here talking about Mexican fighters. Texas used to be Mexico. So is a fighter from Dallas considered Mexican?
                  *****'s mom was as white as you think white is. So what would he be if he were a boxer?
                  See how muddy this gets? It's bc it's tribalistic nonsense.
                  We are all human w different skin tones based on amount of ancestral sun exposure.
                  Biology is your friend, dumb ****. Use it before making threads perpetuating race.
