Shakespear vs Poe

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Half-black, mother from the caribbean, with an awesome 'fro. Had a pretty hard time in Paris because of it.

And Dumas is the king of awesome, throw your pretentious wannabe-litterature like shakespeare and poe in the bin.

Half-black father, son of a Nobleman and a General in the French army. As far as I know his mother was French. So, he was 1/4 Caribbean, but his mother might have been Creole rather than African, so possibly 1/8.

Right about the 'fro though.
