Pete Wentz

We’ll have to admit – this was a SUPER shocker! Who would’ve thunk that the rocker, ex-hubby of Ashlee Simpson was actually black. The rumor mill started circulating when Wentz was seen donning a ‘fro all around town. We can now see that that he’s been flat ironing his curly locks all these years.

Although Wentz hasn’t directly broken down his heritage to the tee, word is that his mother is a mixed Black woman (half Jamaican and Hawaiian)

    No one that is white has ever thought that any of these people are anything but black.

    Please someone tell me what… “Black certainly don’t crack honey.” I know that they were trying to say Black doesn’t age as fast (I think that’s what it’s supposed to mean) But I can’t get it all together? lol help! :)

    Rebecca Hall is also black. Her mother is African-American, Native American, Scottish, & Dutch. She was the main character on “The Town” with Ben Affleck.

    Ok I am mixed. My dad is black and native and my mother is irish, french,german and scottish, now I celebrate and welcome all my races, but in the eyes of ppl I am either black, hispanic or arabic. Never ever would they say I was white, I even had ppl tell me ” she’s not your mother she is white”. Um yes she is and has the scars to prove she gave birth to me and my 2 sisters. It kills me that some black folks still hold grudges againts mixed race ppl, like we get a free pass card because we have some white in us. Please racist white ppl don’t like us if anything hate the fact one of them had kids with someone out their race. Also no black person in america is 100% black, infact it has been shown that most black people have 20% white DNA,so whouldnt that mean all african americans are mix or multi racial? We as the human race needs to get off our pride pedlestills and start realizing we are all the same. We all have the same basic wants and needs and the sooner the better. Ppl will find anything that makes them different but not what makes them the same. The world we be a better place if we all just started to respect eachother and stop leting stupid stereotypes control our live. Divided we fall united we stand!

    I don’t think Vinn Deisel is mixed at all and also what about the actor from “Prison Break” and he also played a younger Anthony Hopkins in the Human Stain. Now he is mixed and you wouldn’t even know it
