theblagg is about as mixed as a Fouro. That’s word to all you kidults who grew up making six-o and stuff. Anyway, both The Ordinary Girl and Dude’s parents are black people, who although speak different languages, have always been people of the South. And that’s word to Dali Tambo and his pillows. But that’s as far as our roots go. Some people, like Lila Anton, have a far more interesting ethnic make-up. This striking individual’s mom is black, her dad is white – both are American but settled in Japan in the 70s. She was born in Japan and Japanese is her first language aaaaaaand she’s studied in Ghana and Palestine. Cool, right? Well, she thinks so. That’s why she made a documentary about it. It’s called A Raizin In The Sun and sounds like a lot of fun. Snippets of Lila’s life have already been put on the ‘net and this is just one of them:

PS: Sorry Akio, The Ordinary Girl still won't get down with the cuisine
kwakwakwa fouro was my ish even though six-o was way more challenging coz I had to gage the correct amount of sugar and water, it was a science. I know my comment totally has nothing to do with this post.
