His picture is all over the place and he’s on youtube as well. Does not appear to be black. He’s shown standing next to a black man - the restaurant owner who gave him a ride and later a job? - and the difference in skin color is very obvious. And the black man isn’t even all that dark. That’s why some folks are wondering about the name jhaqueil for a white guy.
That said, I’m against hitchhiking or picking up hitchhikers, for obvious safety reasons.
Yeah this story is all over the local news here in Indy.
He sure looks like a white kid to me.
The guy that runs the restaurant and hired him is a Cajun I think, displaced by Katrina and moved here and opened a restaurant.
I didn’t think the restaurant owner was black when I watched the video of him. Skin color can be a subjective thing.
