Wentworth Miller Family Photo

Wentworth Miller is white.
Saying that he is black is ridiculous for 80% of the world.
America is still racist, I see.
Sad.

llona, you really don’t get it, do you? just like most whites you always think it’s about you, don’t you? it’s not a matter of “if people think about blacks like that in America”, it’s how blacks identify THEMSELVES, dumb ass!! went’s black family CHOOSES to identify as black because of their heritage and their pride in who they are! but i guess that’s just beyond your comprehension, huh, because in your mind everyone should leap at the chance to be white, especially if they “look white”!
like i said, educate yourself about black people in america. you also, domenica. understand that “80% of the world” doesn’t override black people’s heritage or culture, family ties, blood ties, the black experience in this country etc. we blacks come in all colors, always have. most black families have every color of the rainbow, from the darkest to the ligihtest—all black! get it?

“went’s black family CHOOSES to identify as black ”
Not true. He never said a word about it before he wanted to be in the Human Stain. Even at Princeton, he never said a word.

can you read, domenica? i said his “black family” chooses to identify as black! his black family–you know the ones in the picture with his dad? the ones that range in color from dark to light, went’s aunt’s, uncles, etc. the ones that look like the majority of black people in this country? go back and look at went’s father and his family. that’s what black people look like in the united states. understand?

LOL :D Lee

Oooh Lee, you are so nice, thank you sweetie :) ;)
You will be my bridesmaid ;) lol

#219, this will be my last comment on this subject, because I can’t believe that this has turned into such a debate… For me mixed race is not a bad thing at all, it’s a positive thing. Saying that he’s white when he’s got ancestry from Africa, Northern Europe and the Middle East is in my opinion saying that it’s only the white part that counts, and trying to oppress the other parts… Anyway, enough about this!
How was last night’s episode, I haven’t seen it yet. And Samira, I’m so happy for you! Question, can I take some of his DNA to make a clone? ;)

“But I’m not white,” Actor Wentworth Miller told me…

PS. Hallo to all the WA ladies!!! ;-}

Don’t worry, Lee, I’ll make a clone each for all the WA’s… ;)

Thank you Samira ;-)

Hi wentfanatic ;)

interesting language you use, yvaline. you show by your choice of words your racism. why do you use the term “burden” to describe his family story? is being of black heritage, being black a “burden” in your estimation, something to be ashamed of, to escape somehow? that’s the problem with your way of thinking, yvaline. you are unconsciously racist and don’t even realize it. what gives you the right to define black people’s reality in this country? if i’m black and i tell you that black people in this country range in color from very dark to very light, who are you to dispute that? we are black, african-american (used to be called negro, colored, afro-american, etc) because this is who we are and how we identify. your country does not have the history of slavery, jim crow, segregation, etc. that this country has so your point about how the rest of the world sees fair-skinned black people is of no consequence. and basically it shows a high degree of disrespect and arrogance on your part! you claim to be a fan of went yet you have no understanding and no respect for this man’s culture, identity and family. went’s family honors their connection to their great-grandfather who was the first generation out of slavery. while you’re so busy trying to make went white to suit your comfort level, you need to think on that, what it means to have grandparents living whose grandparents themselves were in slavery. went is proud of his black heritage and rightfully so. his family story is not a “burden”, as you can, from your racist perspective, but a heritage to celebrate with pride.

Good read on Wenty
