@StillABK said:

A Japanese of Ghanaian descent born in America. The existence of this guy alone should solve racism.

@thenoblet remarked:

I find it really worrying that many of us Africans do not know that we are truly the indigenes of this planet. Our ancestors have been everywhere; Australia, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, you name it.

@marvesammie added:

Born in the US, to a Japanese father, by a Ghanaian mother…3 continents in one man. He should just go to school in the UK…Then he will be nicknamed UN.

@GVH_SAPWALA commented:

The black gene is powerful.

According to information on the school's official website, Kusi graduated from Centre College with a B.A. in economics/business administration in 1965 before earning his M.B.A. from Atlanta University in 1967.
