Montreal's most famous black guy - surprise - !

Montreal's most famous living back person is somebody you probably never suspected to own that title.   Here's a hint, it's not Steve Fletcher, the guy featured in this hockey card, but he's the hint.
   Fletcher was an NDG scrapper who played a smattering of shifts for the Habs long ago but survived a long career in the minors. Fletch was an incredible athlete. My friend saw him at a pool in NDG diving off the board, later remarking in vivid detail what a stud and great athlete the glistening, muscular Speedo-clad Fletcher was. The description of Fletcher was so intense that I had to interrupt it because the chat was getting kinda uncomfortably Brokebackesque in its conversational direction.
   Fletcher is often mistakenly considered to be the only black guy who ever played on the Canadiens. That's entierement incorrect.
  The most famous living black Montrealais has also been known to don a pair of blades from time to time.

Okay, time's up here's the answer. If you guessed... Gary Coleman....well... you're thoroughly wrong and shame on you for making such a bad guess.

      The answer to today's quiz was born in New York City on October 17, 1975, which of course was also the famous day that Maurice Gibb married his second wife Yvonn Spenceley.
   The famous black Montrealer's mom was French Canadian and dad was Haitian. His nom de guerre is Francis Bouillion, otherwise known as the Cube.
   Thus he is technically black although he looks either black or white depending on how he does his hair on any given day, proving that obsessions with ethnic labeling are often ridiculous, something we've learned after dwelling on such irrelevant questions as who the first black hockey player was and so forth, it is, after all, not where you're from, it's where you're at.
