/// AOG, I see nothing there to indicate that he's having these tests "just to be 100-percent certain that he DOESN'T HAVE ANY BLACK BLOOD IN HIM", as you claim. ///
/// I'm not offended - I simply dislike
misrepresentation. ///
I don't know why you are taking this attitude? and I am not making any misrepresentation, or even misinterpretations.
And I also claim nothing (as you put), these are Sir Jones words, or at least are reported as such.
*** I’m going to get my DNA tested. I want to find
out.” ***
And this was reported in my second link
*** Tom Jones wants to get his DNA tested, just to be 100-percent certain that he doesn’t have any black in him. Because people keep asking. ***
Please note, not one mention of BLACK BLOOD, did I make, or even CLAIM, as you accused me of.
I will provide that link again, just so there is no longer any misrepresentation you understand?

The 100% not black quote is the journalists' words, not Tom Jones.
From what Jones is reported to have said, that does not support he wants to be certain he wants to be certain he isn't black.
The error is the journalists, but you repeated it. Also, it was not part of your original link so ABers will assume that that is your take on what he said

Jones sings in a gospel style, probably a result of his upbring in Wales. But gospel has its routes in African Americans singing religious songs.
// Coming out of the African American religious experience, gospel music can be traced to the early 17th century.[1] Gospel music has roots in the black oral tradition, and typically utilizes a great deal of repetition. The repetition of the words allowed those who could not read the opportunity to participate in worship. During this time, hymns and sacred songs were lined and repeated in a call and response fashion, and the *** spirituals and work songs emerged. Repetition and "call and response" are accepted elements in African music, designed to achieve an altered state of consciousness we sometimes refer to as "trance", and strengthen communal bonds. //
The setting of a witch doctor's in the jungle is wide of the mark. But the Mail never lets accuracy get in the way of its editorial.

Ha Ha. Sir Tom's worries don't just stop with his blood type either.
With his wealth why should he worry?

/// It would have been fantastic if you'd posted the link to Jezebel because that's where you the took the quote from. ///
I refer you to my 11.37 post.
I admit to a little mischievousness, but it did prove a point, let a publication such as Jezebel say the words then there is nothing amiss, but for AOG to produce them and see what comes forth.
/// As posted, it looked as if it were your words. ///
And we can't have that, now can we?
/// There was no way anyone could have known you were quoting from another source. ///
Does that make any difference it is not as if Jezebel is a branch of the BNP?
