Stupid remark..........!
Amen
😅😂
Truuuu
Who didn’t know Mariah was mixed?? That’s crazy!🧐
Exactly..
Right 😂😂
I’m Puerto Rican and I’m light,hazel eyed and 25% Nigerian Igbo… so there you go. And, I didn’t know about specific Igbo but I knew part African like manyPuerto Ricans because of the Atlantic Slave Trade.
@@AleidaValentin Many will deny it though. Especially in the Midwest, lol
You must be young.
As an African American, we know who's black. This is nothing new.
This right here.
I totally concur😎❤️👍🏽
I can tell too.
100000000%
True
Why are people shocked that Mariah Carey & Vin Diesel are half black. I saw it. Light skinned doesn't change a thing.
Exactly
Sure doesn't 👍🏾😊
Right there with you.
Knew this decades ago 😒
Amen!!
Everyone knows about Mariah.
I didn't 👅
Literally everyone already knew.
I said the same thing 😂😂😂
I knew when I first looked at her.
@@StarrdigitalProductions Really? I had guessed she was Latina, like Cuban or Puerto Rican.
Black or white, Tom Jones is still the best.
Welsh
❤ I Agree 😊
I’m not gonna lie, I had no idea about Clark Gable. The one person that is missing in this video is Rebecca Hall. Her mother went all out to pretend that she was white, and would never mentioned her father to her. When you look at Rebecca you can definitely tell, she has the same skin tone as Megan Markel and Vin Diesel. But most people probably already know about her because she directed the movie Passing, which is about people who are biracial but choose to live as white to gain privileges.
I knew it! Omg, I'm so good at this😅 Love Rebecca Hall and now I know why.
Mariah didn't have blond hair. She dyed it long after she was famous. And she looked better brunette.
Clark Gable was everything that John Wayne wish he was.
Amen!
How so? Please elaborate.
@@ladyofthecreek279
Exactly!🤠
...explain...
One thing I'm guessing is how Clark Gable stood up for Hattie McDaniel, at the risk of his own career and quite possibly more, given the attitudes of mainstream society during that period.
Love the proud way Dwayne believes in his History not just his race.
Clark thanks for fighting for equal right, We knew that they were mixed. Bless all of them.
I didn't know Clark was mixed
@@rbm960
Neither did I
Did he though..
We are all a mixture of something and that’s what makes life interesting.
Well said!!😊
Yet, everything is so tribal these days, that being mixed can equal dismissal by some, lol.
True
Who DIDN"T know Megan & Mariah were biracial?
My family are Welsh/Scottish/Irish & look so similar to Tom Jones. Similar skin colour, hair colour & texture. So we did a dna test and was shocked that we were only European. Lol.
🤣
😂😂😂
I laughed wayyy to hard at this comment 😂 lmao 🤣
Exactly the same as Tom Jones. These videos get more ridiculous as time goes on.
@@sharrielee911❤❤❤❤❤
We are all Humans...POINT BLANK💮
Yup
do you put "human" on your job application?
Humans who drove all other human species to extinction 50,000 years ago.
@@househead67Do you put your skin color on job applications?
@@richardvinsen2385Yes! Where do you live?!
it reminds me of one of my friends, a black woman, who married a white french man, and they had their first little girl, blond with fair eyes. she wanted to visit family in Canada and introduce her daughter to them. before going she asked her husband to write a letter explaining he was the father of the girl and agreed to the travel. my friend's husband laughed when she asked, but wrote it anyway. guess what? at the airport in Canada she was arrested on suspicion of abduction of a white girl and was happy she had that letter. if the contrary had happened, a white woman with a black child, nobody would have asked anything.
this world we are living in....
My Grandmas always taught me it is what you do that is the true measure of a person.
Mlk said it.
❤
True but we still ethnic heritage
As well as how you make others feel. Everyone always remember that about someone when they're gone.
We knew about Mariah, Vin Diesel, the Rock, Rashida Jones, Meghan Markle, and Derek Jeter.
My only hope is that someday it wont matter anymore. We are all humans. End of story.❤
You can't seriously consider telemarketers human! :)
Oh it matters. And, it should because everyone matters for their uniqueness. God created it in order to matter. 🥴
@williamjames3416😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤
@@tweetybeetweetybea9652 And your "God" told you this? Ridiculous.
Clark Gable was fine fine
He was considered handsome & "pretty boy" who exploited his good looks. His talents as an actor have always been questionable.
Maybe that's why Gone With the Wind was so successful. I'm going to watch it, in full.
He was just okay, mot handsome.
“Fine fine,” well said 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Chiiillle and I mean FINE FINE TOO!!!!!😂😂😂
In 1999 or 2000 on PBS J Edger Hoovers black side of the family spoke out about him and it’s interesting check it out.
Wow, mom knew what she was talking about. She used to always say to me that Tom Jones was black! I thought she was saying that tongue and cheek because he was such a great dancer and had a soulful singing voice! Turns out mom is always right.
My nana used to say the same thing about her brother in law because he was welsh and had dark curly hair and he wasn’t.
I just thought he was welsh
Cuz that's what he is. @@Nana-Opa
The African Genotype produces ALL eye, skin, and hair colors and textures.. We're all related, I wish people could understand this...
I learned of my mixed heritage later in life @ age 32 when my Mother revealed who my biological Father was. The man I was raised with as my Father had passed @ that time & I resented her 4 telling me after he passed. He was the only Father I knew & loved & he loved me. I have since told my children as well. It is important that we know our heritage & embrace who we are.
I thought we all came out ofAfrica.
Shoot. I didn't think we came any whiter than Carol Channing. If she's mixed then we're all mixed, damnit!
😂😂😂😂
😂
That's funny!
Exactly
Every little girl struggles with their identity especially if they don’t look like the people around them.
I can see the blackness in Halle Berry Stacy dash jordin sparks tiger woods Nicole Richie Zendaya doja cat and Dwayne the rock Johnson.
Really😅
Thanks for sharing this topic ☺️ Like Dwayne Johnson I am proud of my mixed heritage Filipina/Creole
What's Creole?
The late and great Minnie Ripperton’s daughter, she’s an actress her first name is Maya , I can’t remember her Anglo father’s last name.
Rudolph
''Anglo'' father, I assume he is from the land of the Angles (somewhere in modern day Netherlands)? Or are you simply being insulting to him.
Rudolph
Rudolph.. He's an Ashkenazi Jew
Rudolph.
Actually, we all are mixed with something.
Sure is! In my family, we’re mixed with Chinese and blackfoot Indian
That part
Nope
Maybe in America
Speak for yourself
We as the human race really need to get over the race think!! I hope we are better than that!! A lil love goes a long way!!!
great point but America's economy is driven by racism!!! hell thats what its founded on!!!
Better said than done. We, as people, have been rapped up in this mentality so long, that it’s hard to shake😫
Don’t Vote for trump
@@laurajphillips Neither did I!!
"get over the race think"?...tell that to folks who put it on job applications, census forms, or other important documents.
Derek Jeter looks just like his mom! 😎
I knew about all of these people. My parents told me about Tom Jones, Carey Grant, Carol Channing and Dinah Shore.
Did you say Dinah Shore? 🤔😱
Yep!
@@amandakamara7631😮😂😂😂
I saw Dinah Shore in the Carol Channing segment of this video, I heard she has Blk heritage as well. Interesting and informative content.
Definitely, Mae West,President Warren G. Harding, Ava Gardner, Rachelle Welsch, Faye Dunaway , Lucille LeSueur( Joan Crawford)?
@@davidfoley726 Mae West became penniless with the quickness after making that admission, but folks are crickets about that for obvious reasons.
@@househead67The other stars mentioned back then didn’t lose popularity, so maybe there was more to that story.
@@davidfoley726Rachel was actually Mexican. So are Martin Sheen and Linda Ronstadt.
@@kellyroyds5040and Linda Carter
Gable must have held in going to the toiket for years! Respect!
The surprise came to them not us. Been knowing that
Half of these you can see.
I was shocked when I ordered DNA tests for myself and my parents. My dad (RIP) was damn near 1/4 white!! I was like, “WHO LIED TO YOU??” 😂 He did team me he had an uncle who came to visit when he was little and when his siblings answered the door, they told my grandmother some White Mann was asking for her. She went to the door and said, “THAT’S MY BROTHER!!” 🤯 My dad looks like a regular Black man. One of his grandparents had to be biracial, I’m not sure which one.
My uncle used to say "We uns know we uns when we sees we uns"
Although it doesnt matter or important we still wanna know
Isn't Humanity elevated higher than judging at skin color?
I wasn't surprised by any of them.
Exactly
💯 agree
Agree 🎉👍👌
Exactly 💯
Me either
Aliens watching this: but they're all human. So what's the point? When we take off their skin or probe their butts its all the same. What are they fighting over?
Love every performer profiled here regardless of their heritage. ♥️🌟
Imitation of life
great tearjerker
I love the 1950’s version….
Tommy Mattola cant open his closet door cause the bones be falling out.
Truth!!
I can see blackness in sir Tom jones
He want's to fit in now that it is popular.
Me too
That's why he's got soul ❤
@@danny2518Nope! Now that it's ACCEPTED 😂😂😂
@@danny2518, He’s always said that it was possible, years ago.
I have always admired the African American people as my heroes. I would be loud and proud and stand tall if l had African American blood lines. I will and always will be proud of their African blood ties. Even American Indians. I would stand tall with the chiefs. 😍❤
The Rock should identify himself as hot ❤
Lol
I applaud racially mixed people. Many in my family are racially mixed. They are solid, good kind, generous Christian loving people. That has nothing to do with the race! It has to do with being a human being and knowing who you are in the scheme of things.I wouldn’t change a thing in my family, except to say I wish I had more of them!
Blessings to you and your family.
😂 😂
They're some of the best people on the face of the earth
This was fascinating- thanks for posting❤
I love Vin Diesel 🥰 I admire his fight for racial equality 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾 and he's a great actor and humanitarian 😊❤
Tom Jones sings with soul!
Absolutely love you Ali I can relate to this and share with my grandson and turning my brother on to you. Thank You❤❤❤❤
Two more I was wondering about one was talked about a lot in the 40s and 50s was Dinah Shore she denied and the other is Jeff Chandler I tried to find out from Alexa but I didn't find out anything but it just seemed like it was a little something there maybe not. But I was surprised about Tom Jones and tell his hair turned white and then it was just fuzzy I guess he always used straightener during his shows.
Of course a lot of people have black dna in their bloodline. Its about personality not race
well why is "black" a "race" and why is there a "census" every ten years?
@@househead67 government distribution of resources to the population. It just one of many.
@@househead67Because of others insecurities.
I was really waiting for him to tell us about someone we didn't already know. 🤷🏿♀️
My favorite Clark Gable film is "The China Seas". A truly great movie, from 1933, that needs to be preserved. Great Script, and Jean Harlow was fantastic-she really "GOT" the script, and she took off with it!
The Rock, Rashida, Megan, and Derek are definitely biracial, the rest of them.....cut it out😂
😂😂😂😂😂
You can tell by looking at them that they have African ancestry.
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Everyone wants the culture however no one wants to be Black.
It’s unfortunate since we contributed and continue to contribute so much to everything.
👏👏👏
Whatever. Yawn.
@@IceLynneBut it's true, deal with it.
@@emmajohnson8909 blah blah blah
We were the first people on the planet so yes we were the first people to yawn 😊😊@@IceLynne
To me. The most beautiful people in the world are mixed race. Facts!
Multiracial human being
☝🏾 🙌🏾 ☝🏾
We're all human. Beside anything else.
Talk was all but, Clark Gable.. thinking he was Italian?? Ms. Jones I loved her mom in Mod Squad!!! Tom, who cared w/his talent!!
Times are hard . People do what they must do to survive. Cant control who you really fall in love with and get along and really happy
that's WHY Clark Gable WAS and will always be the KING of the "golden age" Hollywood.
I always suspected that. The man has soul.
*Tom Jones* should be very proud if he actually is! And my mother used to tell me that Carol Channing is! 😊 I enjoyed this video.. liked, subscribed and last but not least... *Commenting* 😊❤
Carol Channing really didn't fool anyone! 🙈
Jones was knowing passing....what did he think he was.
Anything on Dwight Eisenhauer?
Yes he was!
@@johnstanley5586I didn't realize he was too
I have a cousin that looks a lot like Vin Diesel. he is taller though.
I have a small percentage of Central West African DNA and ancestry and I'm very proud of it, because it adds to myself as a member of the human race: But that doesn't mean that I'm going to ignore and not be proud of the vast majority of my (Mostly European) ancestry and DNA either. White European DNA and ancestry has never been better nor less than all other ancestry and DNA worldwide, from birth. And that goes for Black African ancestry and DNA as well.
Why don't you do a video about "celebrities you didn't know were white". That would be fascinating.
😂😂😂😂
Where would the surprise be in THAT?!?
😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I knew one of you would comment about that 🤣🤣🤣🤣17 like brandy you just wanna be down 🤣
Add to that rosanne cash daughter of Johnny. Her mother Vivian had dark Mediterranean Italian good looks. It was rumored that she also had African American ancestry. A dna test confirmed that a great great great grandmother was an African American slave. Though Rosanne inherited her father’s talent she inherited her mother’s (mostly) Italian good looks
I think she looks like her father.
Vivian was biracial.
tHATS AFRICAN DNA.
Next will be john wayne, sean connery, michael caine, alec guinness, max von sydow..they just don't want to admit it.
Whatever?
John Wayne?!?
Well, four can't admit it since they're dead. Can't speak for Caine though.
John Wayne? Ugh!
BLACK IS BLACK 🖤!!! american BLACK MAN SPEAKING!!!
One word...nunya....none of your business 😂
Every one is mixed.
Well, that explains one thing about Tom Jones.
I would like to know about Tina Marie's heritage..
Me tooooo ❤
Portuguese
@@ladybug9274 There's more to her than just Portuguese.
Because of the way she sounded when singing?
Me & Rasheda Jones are the same thing except my father is Afro-Cuban
Love Tom Jones
VERY informative
He was right and handsome.
What difference does this make😮
to all of you "the only race is the human race" folks...when you fill out a description for the police, please keep that in mind or put that down in a box under race and see how seriously you will be taken.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊, thank you so much for the laugh😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅.
Paul Mooney said it all!
This was called Whyte Passing. Light or mixed colors were more accepted and have more Freedoms
We are all human beings.
Tom Jones Dad was Conley, and Tom visited him in the late 70’s or early 80’s , my mom lived in the building that Tom Jones real Dad lived and she met Tom Jones, and yes they look alike , Tom Jones is Bi Racial
You'd be surprised how old this planet is and how diverse the people are in it Dr John Henry Clark does a lecture on this subject about the one drop rule that white people made up he says if that is true of the one drop rule a lot of white people belong to us black people then he goes into this history that you're talking about about all of the people that supposed to be so called White that are really black people not to jump ahead of myself but you even have the history of Hannibal Barca Africans have been going in the Europe mixing with the Europeans for centuries upon centuries even have the Moors of Spain that's right more that means black that's what the Europeans call the blacks one of the names that stood out Macklemore look into that history it will blow your mind the Moors went into the Iberian Peninsula and they rule for just about 800 years they also went all up in the Europe mixing with the people up there We Are All One and this type of behavior is still going on to this very day Tom Jones for whales excuse my spelling I am talking to my phone I'm driving again there we are the Moors of Spain the Africans went into whales oh yes No Doubt No Doubt Africans all over that region
Who didn’t know!?! We always know 😂
I REMEMBER WHEN ROCKY JOHNSON & TONY ATLAS BECAME THE 1ST BLACK TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS. ME & MY HOMIE WHOSE NO LONGER WITH ME, CELEBRATED THAT NIGHT.
African blood shows through the hair.
This is fucking sad but true😢 you can't help who your parents are💯💙
During the J. Edgar Hoover segment, why are you showing videos of Herbert Hoover???
Think about it
Why does it matter? He's a great entertainer.
God made us all. It shouldn't matter to us if it doesn't matter to God.
