Culture Vultures? White Artists Who’ve Been Accused Of “Trying To Be Black”

THE KARDASHIANS

This family is known for keeping an active roster of rappers, athletes and other industry insiders by their side who all just happen to be black. Coincidence? Khloe Kardashian told Ebony that when she was younger, people used to accuse her of trying to be black because all of her friends were either black or biracial.

“A lot of my friends are Black and I used to get … (people calling me) ‘an N-lover.’ People would write on my locker and … they’d call me the white devil. I used to have five girls that I used to all run with, and all of them were either bi-racial or Black and then there was me. I’m Armenian, but I’m very fair and I look white … (and) I would always get such hate about it. Black people (would say) ‘you know you’re never gonna be Black,’ and people would always tell me stuff like that. I don’t think because I hang out with enough Black people, I’m gonna turn Black. What kind of rationalization is that? I’m just friends with people that I like. I don’t care what skin color you are.”
