Also in his 1st book .. he writes about how his grandparents (on his mothers side) were very liberal and stuck up and defended african-american people .. though later in the book he talks about them as though they were closet bigots
Another part of the he mentions how his great great grandfather, Christopher Columbus Clark was a decorated Union Soldier and that his wife was rumored to have been a 2nd cousin to Jefferson Davis .. but that his grandmother didn't like talking about that
As for his grandfather in Africa .. he made his money as a cook and being friendly with the Brits .. then he purchased a farm where he owned goats .. that is why he claims his father was a goat herder .. which he was not .. his grandfather had hired help
