Wentworth Miller Family Photo
Prison Break star Wentworth Miller, aka Michael Scofield, was in Memphis, Tennessee late last month to celebrate a family reunion of descendants of the late Dr. Green Forte Pinkston of Memphis and Cordova. Pinkston, the grandson of freed Mississippi slaves, died in 1963.
Pictured are (from left) Mila Jasey (Went’s aunt), Rhena Jasey (Went’s cousin), Leigh Miller (Went’s younger sister), Wentworth and Jason Cox (Went’s cousin).

Hitler would be proud
Well well, by your comments you are saying that his entire family pictured here are passing also. They are all fairly light skinned and to you, apparently, black people only have the right to be a certain color.
Exactly what would he have to do to have or show these cultural ties? Does Denzel, Samuel L, et al do these things, too? Or is it because he isn’t dating someone like Kerry Washington [whom I always thought dated white guys]?
sueli,
I see apparently you opted out of answering my question.
Here I’ll repeat it…
“so by your logic if he was sitting at a reunion table with his mother’s family, would you still be calling him Black? or would he be White?”
I’m not discussing his family because I don’t know them..they are private citizen..they are not actors or in the entertainment business aka.public arena. Exploiting their backgrounds for media publicity. He (WM) has.
I find it ironic I’m addressing him being fake and that bothers you, but other posters calling his family White monkeys or Monkey period doesn’t get you to single out any poster.
Now if you don’t think Denzel is tied to his background as an african-american man…you are uniformed.
UNIFORMED ??????? BWHAHAHA! How’d you know Sueli is uniformed or not??? I think you mean UNINFORMED! Maybe you should try reading a few books rather than sitting on the net trying to put Went’s acceptance of being blak down!
He knows he’s a brotha!
well well:
How is attending a reunion honoring a distinguished family member exploitative, exactly? Went has every right to be proud of his family and to spend time with them, just like anyone else. He comes from a very well-educated, professional family and he doesn’t “exploit” them, although he certainly could if he wanted to. He has relatives in medicine, politics, education and law, just to name a few. How many pictures have you EVER seen of his parents or sisters??? And guess what: They don’t exploit him either. Seems like a fine family. He’s said many times that he’s multi-racial, and if being descended from Mississippi slaves doesn’t give you black cultural roots, then what does?
As to the question of race, who cares what race he, or anyone else, happens to be? We are all multi-racial!! All human beings are descended from Africans. Time to grow up now and get past your racist perspective for your own peace of mind. And be happy for Went that he comes from such an amazing family.
BTW, they are are very good-looking family as well. It seems, however, that they value education, achievement and community service more than looks.—What a novel idea!!! — Some of you rude and unkind posters might want to ponder what really matters in life, and maybe try to make YOUR family proud of YOU.
love you and support you wentworth no matter what.
you are a spectacular human being.
god knows what’s in your soul.just be true to yourself.
Well Well are you suggesting that his publicist asked jj not to post the picture when it first came out, because he/she somehow had a feeling you would be questioning his black identity? It seems like it…. There were no black family reunion pictures circulated last April, when the other pictures with Amie were posted. It’s a coincidence that jj posted these pictures a lot later than everybody else.
Thanks for posting.
They all look great in the photo’s.
Take it down - respect their privacy
111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU REALLY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM!!!!!!
NOW YOU ARE USING MY NAME
IT S STRANGE THAT YOU ONLY ATTACK ME LOL, I CAN READ A LOT OF COMMENTS IN HERE SAYING TO SOME PEOPLE TO SHUT UP!!!!
AND YOU ONLY SPEAK TO ME WITH MY NAME NOW!!!!!
YOU ARE AN IDIOT IGNORANT AND MOST OF ALL STUPID!!!
and BTW “I break your balls” I take it as a compliment, it means that you can not handle the controversy, but this is not a surprise, when we know your level of intelligence!
People… you are ******* IDIOTS!!!
No surprise if Wentworth is hiding… he is too intelligent for ignorant people like a lot who write here
@WellWell: i don’t understand your problem, probably because I don’t live in America I don’t understand why you are arguing about the racial roots…. Is that a problem? gosh you are wierd…
black or white what’s the difference? I don’t really understand you… is in america a problem if you hang out with black or white people? This is so strange… i mean there’s not all these problems in my country, you can date who you want and you can have friends without judging them by their skin color……
111 @Suz you probably realized it but my message was not for you ;-) the previous 111 message has been erased by JJ.
(((Thank you JJ :-) )))
@susan “….-is in america a problem if you hang out with black or white people?”
I was wondering that too…..
I think that for some persons, it would be necessary to go consulted a psychologist, and (probably a madhouse awaits them).
Already compared to the criticism of his family and his friend Amie. You may be relieved by going to see a psychologist. Or even take courses on respect and education.
Because wentworth can’t do nothing for you. You are frustrated.
In fact, so there is nothing to say about him, they begin debates (gay or not gay, now is white or black).
But I don’t understand, bring it well in your head, that these are pointless debates. You have a problem with yourself, and you put it all on the back of wentworth.
Gay or not, black or white, green or red !!!!! lol What is the purpose?
Wentworth live his life then you live your life quietly without bothering you the head about it. You will be more relaxed
Hi well well, i totaly agree with you about the media but you also know that they can lie sometimes. Look about the magazine, from what I can see on the pictures, he left the fast food with it.
Maybe JJ wasn’t aware of the family reunion pic….if you look at the end of the comment, under the pic, JJ thanks someone “KW” (??)
And what I think about his multi-racial side is that I’m sure this is a very difficult situation for him, now that he’s a public person. Don’t you think that maybe he got more white friends than black because he looks more white then black? (just a question)He might have been “rejected” by black people because when you look at him he’s white??
If you live outside of America then no I don’t expect you to ‘get it’ or understand racial issues in America nor see hypocrisy from the media and PR and even from the likes of the WM.
Because naturally you are only wrapped up into seeing his superficial looks. If you don’t understand how the media, hollywood or someone can exploit or play upon people’s gullibility to promote and sell an image that’s too sad.
I never wrote that him attending a family reunion is being exploitive.. Twisting my words to suit your point is merely a waste of time just as
regurgitating something I never wrote is pointless… him, his PR team of people, those that help shape his career image, organize his interviews and considered his reps..have allowed the release of his pics of his family on JJ, simply by not asking any one to retract these private pics..and the now the pic shows up on the internet in a timely fashion after his so called Amie date..another white woman in a line of white females he only dates. His pr peeps needs get the message out there to reinstate for your heads he’s a black guy by circulating this private family pic the reunion on a celebrity website. This keeps up the exploitation because really what and how is he doing anything for black people when he’s benefitting from PASSIN’.
how did he suddenly became black if his mom is white? Did he suddenly disown his white side?
btw @ #105
..As for my typo error of “uniformed” and “uninformed”…Yes it was a typo…thanks for pointing it out.
Just like I suppose you meant to write “black” instead of “blak” ?
Wow his sister is pretty. It is funny how they do all have the same jawline and nose. Wentworth and his sister really do look alot alike.
well well, that picture came out a while ago sometime in December, it was before he was seen again with Amie.
I’m sure I read somewhere where he said most of his friends were white so I guess that may influence his choice in females somewhat. But I can see where you are coming from as reading through press when he was promoting THS he kept mentioning his ‘blackness’ during interviews, dont know if this was to attract attention though.
Personally I wouldnt class him as black only mixed race……….
#124, went has never said “most of his friends are white”. frankly, we don’t know who his personal freinds are so all we can do is speculate. and to the poster that says maybe black people rejected him, why would that be the case? you seem to think that black people aren’t used to light-skinned blacks like went? he is nothing unusual! most black people have family members that look like went so no, black people wouldn’t have rejected him on the basis of his color.
To Anon, it was just a question because I have sincerly no clue. I was just trying to say to well well that perhaps there’s a nothing behind all this, the magazine (Barack Obama), Amie, the family’s picture. As you said it’s just speculation.
This picture is just nice family picture and nothing more.I don’t get why you make so many pointless debates about that.I live between two religions and I have always been attracted by guys who are of my father’s religion and that doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t be with someone who is of my mother’s religion.So maybe Went is just attracted by white women.My aunt’s son went to live in America and found beautiful black girl and if their childern become interesting more in black persons it doesn’t make them haters of their father’s race.So please grow up and stop with pointless debate.Some of you doesn’t know how to speak English well but perfectly know how to go on with debates and bullshits.Peace!
Ah Finally !!!
Thanks super_girl @126
