Channing Tatum

Channing Tatum’s talents have been spread around different genres of the entertainment field.  But though people might have assumed that the  former dancer (read: stripper), model, and current actor could possibly be black, his racial background is Irish, French, German, and Native American.

    This has got to be a joke. I can’t seriously believe this person thinks these people look black. Yeah… I’m just gonna go with that because the other option is just too stupid.

  • saycheese

    Madame menoire need they a$$ whooped for this article..smh.. im a little offended

  • hahaha

    What? Of course a person of indian descent is gonna have brown skin.. that doesnt make them “LOOK BLACK”… wtf? they look like how they should..this article is crap.. if anything i may have thought jon b or dj khaled was puerto rican or something before saying black..wth?

  • cubanflowers

    is this article/list a joke?……. not a soul “looks” black in this list…

    just because you have brown skin doesn’t mean you are black…..

    be blessed…

  • Skyla

    LOL at this list, the only person who came close to looking half black was Rita Ora and you’d have to be turning your head real fast. This list was laughable

  • Acappellla

    Woww, are they serious? Not one person looked Black to me
    either. They started with Channing and ended with dude in Spartucus? Who
    in their right mind would think they had any Black in them? Of course
    they could but where do they look it? Haha! Ahem, I’m jus sayin.

  • Miko Blouin

    idk why they keep saying that Channing Tatum looks does not look black im so tired of them saying that he does ….smh

  • screw67

    this is the dumbest chit i have ever wasted 3 minutes on! what kind of silly mixed-up negores wrote this or do you all think we are? Black people know who is Black and who isnt, maybe this is a “skill” the author can pass on to the white race as there are several in that category who are “passing”, in reverse.

  • Lovely Me

    I guess since white people associate ANYONE with melon in their skin, a full behind, and full lips with being black, we should also? None of these people look like they are of African descent BUT a lot of them are people of color.

  • G Star

    Depends on the definition you are using. Are some of them Black in skin color? Yes! Are they African American? No! Are they descendants of African/ Some are. Stupid article and stupid people commenting.

    norah jones?

  • SexNdaCity

    The only one I’m quite surprised about was Rachel Roy. Whenever I’ve seen her she looks either black or mixed with black. I had also assumed that maybe Rita Ora had some black ancestry. The rest are clearly not black at all.

  • GeminiJazz

    I never thought any of these people were Black, they don’t even looked black. I did notice that Tiger Woods wasn’t mentioned and he outright down played being Black. I think Blackenasian is what he called it.

    I never thought any of these people were black.
