People Said These People Aren’t Black
There’s nothing like growing up black, living your life as a black person then reaching a point when people feel like it’s okay to suddenly decide you’re not black anymore. It’s a crazy experience. These celebrities had to deal with the doubts and people telling them they weren’t really black. Not cool.
Take a look…
Steph Curry – Kevin Durant infamously recalled the time he thought he was playing against a “white kid” when he first met Steph Curry.
Barack Obama – His grandfather is white and he was raised by white people so some have questioned if he even counts as black. Sigh.
Tiger Woods – He’s called himself Cabacablasian or whatever, causing discussion about his blackness.
Raven Symone – She said she was from every continent in Africa when her blackness was questioned so take that.
Amber Rose – Her racial ambiguity has been a thing for a long time, but she finally revealed she has some black in her.
