Cecil Pierre what’s there to escape. We’re all mixed with something. If he proudly chooses to identify himself as a black man that’s his prerogative. He doesn’t seem to be in distress about it.
@Cecil Pierre ok since you put it like that creole is black and French and his dad is black ,So he is still black with a bit of French in him maybe 15 or 25 % Therefore mostly and mainly still black.
I don't care what he is...the man is fine and seems to have a fantatsic personality and sense of humor. He seems genuine. Sometimes we argue over all of the wrong stuff.
Yes honey, thanks for saying something!! I was thinking the same thing. She was asking about his race, he answered by talking about his ethnicity. And nationality can include both of those categories.
👊 But I like how he knew what she meant even though she clearly used the wrong word ... And it's cool that he claims to be black when he's actually multiracial. JS!!!
Please lets just stop, The only people who aren't subjected to the one drop rule, are those whom are recently mixed between White and Black. Every black person outside Dark-Skinned-Black Africa, and in the Diaspora has admixtures, of Native America, Asian and European to some degree. Every Black man or woman think light skin is pretty and fine, so not to upset anyone and be politically correct, everyone can fit in the African American or Black biracial category.
It’s not just the education system. It’s all throughout the legal system. The concept of race in America has been used to exploit and exclude people since before our independence from Great Britain. They created race to maintain power and white supremacy.
They feel entitled enough debate amongst themselves and to demand a complete stranger proclaim how they identify to use that opportunity to condemn them if they answer too “wrong” for their taste. Or they’re looking for validation depending on whether they solely claim their Blackness or not. Either way, it’s pathetic lol
I fell in love with him as an actor, and then I found out the brotha can sang! He's truly my new CRUSH, big time! I love his views on life and how he's parenting his son...any woman that wouldn't want him just because he has a child, doesn't deserve him! Keep doin' whatcha' doin' Christian, I'm digging your style!
He literally insulted y'all. He equated being black to liking Hennessy and you think it's a compliment. The world doesn't see a black male when they look at him. They see a fine ass exotic mixed man.
Do disrespect, but “black” is a legal status, not a skin color or phenotype description. Black means dead in the eyes of the law, civiliter mortuus. Consider yourself American until you claim your Nationality. Black and African American are nom de guerres, brands.

I think the conversation was what is his background. I think people know he is at least part, or mostly, black. But as he just described it, he is biracial. 🤷♀️ I actually thought he was all black and just had two lighter Tina Knowles Creole type parents lol ...so I’m glad he actually cleared that up 🤔 Had no idea he was biracial like that lol 😏 👍

Cinnamon Lee He said BOTH. He said he has a BLACK father and a French and Native American MOTHER. That is BI or RACIAL, or multiracial. His mother is not black. And he was saying but he considers himself black, as do a lot of mixed people, or those who are multiracial and identify as solely as black. I don’t need you to tell me what he said. I watched the video. Thanks 👍
Cinnamon Lee AND AS HE SAID, he said both things. Just go find some business. You sound ridiculous. I watched the video, and nothing I said is incorrect. Get a life , weirdo 👍
Yesssss he is black why is it that when people are cute they aren’t black ??? Oh I am proud he is happy to be black , blacks sexy mon mwah 💋❤️💕🥰love you bro !
There's No Honduran in him No way he's a light skinned black man I have this all in my family for years WE come in a variety when it comes to black American people
He said he is black and he looks black, which is what people usually judge, so I'm going to say he is black and not mixed. When mixed becomes an actual recognized race maybe but for now he is black. Real talk we are all mixed if you looked genetically but that's too much to unpack.
“Black,” “African American,” and “Native American” are brands (nom de guerres). Nationality goes far beyond an individual’s place of birth/domicile. It’s directed affiliated with legal status and ties her/him to a Nation.
Well I'm glad he cleared that up. I knew he had to have had some indian in him! Whether it was west Indian, east Indian or native indian! He' is a gorgeous man, I can't get over it.
What's his nationality? Do you even know what the word "nationality" means? He's American. That's his nationality. Some people clearly didn't pay attention in high school. Now if you asked what is his ETHNICITY, then he would have answered correctly.
just so you know I know I am late and I hate to knock your big head off of the high horse you and the others are on but nationality is literally synonymous with ethnicity according to the thesaurus so the person can use it in the same context if they so choose!

"Correction is an important part of our growth as Christians. From the day we become saved, we have things in our lives that need to be worked on and improved. God is the one who helps us through this process, mostly by correcting us of our erroneous ways. God takes delight in those who take correction because it shows that they are willing to follow His guidance in their lives. A major part of loving God is being obedient; taking correction is a part of that obedience. Dear God, I pray that I will always be someone who takes correction well. May I never become proud and think that I am above improving my ways. I do not desire to veer into foolishness, Lord. Guide me accordingly, Father. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth." Proverbs 3:11-12
I don't care all of that mixture created one of God's beautiful creatures. God blessed him with a lovely brain and from what I've seen from a distance good character! You rock!!! Never let them deny any part of you!!!

Actually his nationality would be American assuming he was born in the USA lol. But yes its nice of him to share his actual ethnicity and racial grouping of choice.
For some reason Christian Keys (Sunny/Levi) reminded me of The Late Lee Thompson Young(Jett/Silverstone Jackson/Barry Frost)a litte bit & I also like Actors Jessie Williams & Michael Ealy too
The one drop rule huh -_-...he should be proud and represent his other side the French and native..stop saying just black..what does that even mean? Black as in what? Somali? Nigerian? Come on confused mixed people.
His isnt considered to be part of the "one drop rule". The dominant race is black in his case which comes from his fathers side hence the dark skin. Which we will just say is 50%. Most mixed people will say they are black..nothing wrong with that..
***** exactly..I guess at the end of the day it's your preference but for me I have to acknowledge all my racial backgrounds because it means more to me than those who just conform and go with the rest of the crowd..but usually if you're mixed but look more black u just stick with that because most people see u as that but if u do looked more mixed people will always bring that out and ask u through their curiosity.
***** I'm mixed, and I am extremely fair, but I grew up with my black family, and most people who speak to me on the phone assume I'm born and raised in the Caribbean. I relate to, I act like, I gravitate to black or African culture more than anything else. I was taught by my mom that I am black, and this is what I am. Race is not my focus anyhow. I have more important things to care about. I definitely do not want to associate myself with white though that's for sure. I'm either mixed, or black. Either or works fine.
reealitey That sounds just fine to me..who u choose to associate with is your choice but as long as u acknowledge all parts of your mix because u can't escape that even if u decide to blend in with only one side..I'm a dark tan but still don't look black so blacks don't really accept me and of course whites don't because I'm not white sooo I blend in perfectly with my spanish people =P..we get along very well and they also resemble my culture a lot too so it works..I'm always running around so proudly acknowledging all 3 sides of my mix Middle Eastern African and Brazilian
***** honestly, it sounds as if you have the issue more than others do. I am probably lighter than you based on your description of your colour (I have Mya, or Alicia Keys' complexion when they are not tanned), and I know some black people who don't fully accept me, but all of my friends growing up have always been black, and I don't need to be accepted by all. I've never had a white friend. I also understand that it has to do with where you come from as well. My city is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, so people here are pretty decent. I usually went to schools where I can count the amount of white people in my school on one hand, so it's also about where you come from as well. I think white people do not know what I am usually, they just know I'm not white. I can fit into many cultures as well. During World Cup Soccer, I can join any country pretty much and cheer along. I am just most comfortable with my own Caribbean people from the African Diaspora. That's all. Peace

I usually went to schools where I can count the amount of white people in my school on one hand, so it's also about where you come from as well. I think white people do not know what I am usually, they just know I'm not white. I can fit into many cultures as well. During World Cup Soccer, I can join any country pretty much and cheer along. I am just most comfortable with my own Caribbean people from the African Diaspora. That's all. Peace
