passing is a tough choice to make bc you cannot associate with your family or anyone who cannot pass (at least in the past that was the rule) |

She didn't pass for white though....that was like one of the first things that came out of her mouth...that her mom is black/part black

Thanks I wasn't sure about her because I don't watch that show.
And to be fair, with the people I posted who are around today, I don't really think they are passing but not really talking about their background unless it comes up. Like The Rock, Dwayne Johnson for instance. He doesn't deny it, if it comes up it comes up. I'm sure the same goes for th at baseball player.
Not sure about Wentworth Miller though.

Anatole Broyard is really the only person in this thread so far who I wouldn't have guessed. The others, I can see it.

I am a Louisiana Creole and these complexions are not uncommon. This is why I said I would not have known Carol Channing was black.
