What about his statement wasn't certain though? He said he's been told that his dad is a light skinned black dude. I guess I don't see what's so suspect about that. His mom cheated, got pregnant and had him. Maybe she doesn't even know who the father is, so how would he?
Or maybe he never wanted to know because the man in his life who he knew as dad was good enough for him. This happens all the time lol....again, I'm not sure what's so unbelievable about the scenario.
In the year 2015, ya'll really let a racist white lady, a conservative blogger and tap dancin' Don Lemon get you to question a man's blackness (even though he's said he's biracial all along). Think about that for a minute.
I guess the 1 drop rule no longer applies?
He's going off of what he's told. Simple as that. You even had a question at the end of your first paragraph, so there's a bit of a grey area. Bottom line, it's HIS business and it does suck that it came down to him airing out some dirty laundry. However, a simple DNA test or talk with the man on the birth certificate would clear up a lot.
Also, I couldn't care less about Don Lemon. However, I am curious about the family member that he spoke to.
In addition, I would be more willing to give King the benefit of the doubt, but there have been some shady things associated with him over the past couple of years that I can't ignore.
That question was posed to you, as in offering a situation that maybe you hadn't thought of. I can think of a few plausible scenarios that I've seen played out in real life, so I have no need to question.
Here's the thing you're missing: WHY DOES HE HAVE TO TAKE A DNA TEST TO CLEAR ANYTHING UP?
Who are YOU to even suggest that another man needs to do such a thing? If he's okay with how the situation played out in his life, so am I. And you should be, too. Questioning the blackness of someone who clearly has some black blood running through his veins is absolutely absurd. Sounds like some **** they'd do in Nazi Germany to make sure you were a pure race.
Again, the only reason you're even approaching that subject is because some right wing folks with an agenda to push told you so. 'Murica.
