You Family? Celebs Who We Didn’t Know Were Black
October 11th, 2011 - By MN Editor
You know the one drop rule – if you’ve got a bit of Black in ya, well, that’s what you are. Nowadays, in our post-racial society, a lot of folks would challenge the fallacy of being identified by one ethnicity but hey, we thought it would still be fun to take inventory of the overlooked Black celebs in Hollywood. While it’s usually easy to spot a brotha or sista, sometimes a few manage to slip on by without being noticed. Here are a few that you may have not known belonged to the family.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Kris Humphries</span>
Now you didn’t think Kim Kardashian would end up with a non-brotha, did you? If the NBA baller never ended up on the arms of reality royalty Kim K, nobody would’ve ever questioned Humphries heritage. He just looks like he has a great tan. But everyone knows that Kimmy Cakes has a love of chocolate and she defiinitely didn’t give that up after her fine ex Reggie Bush broke her heart.
Ethnic breakdown: Father is half black, making Humphries a quarter black.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Pete Wentz</span>
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 (<span style="font-weight: bold">half Jamaican</span> and Hawaiian)
