Ruckus is weak, problematic, and repellent in appearance, behavior and attitude, especially toward his own race. He has an intense hatred of anything pertaining to African Americans and goes out of his way to distance himself from blacks, especially those of previous generations. Ruckus claims God says the path to forgiveness for being black is to rebuke one's own race. He has a mismatched glass eye due to the beatings he received from his father. Ruckus champions the small traces of Irish ancestry he claims to have, though a DNA test shows he is "102% African" with a 2% margin of error. After BET deliberately tampers with the test results to cheer him up, they state that he is 50.07% white.
