I hate this crap, really! People deciding who is black enough and who isn’t!
Singer and actor Tyrese Gibson called his wife a #BlackQueen and actually faced a backlash with people questioning is she was even black!
Gibson had to defend his choice of words and confirm she is Ecuadorian, Jamaican and African-American.
The Grio reported:
Gibson has since deleted many of his posts referring to his wedding and his “black queen.” But before he did, he shared that, ”We’re humbled by the outpouring of love! We appreciate all of the prayers and well wishes,” before going on, “Sometimes, when you pray you get exactly what your heart desires. I got #MyBlackQueen I didn’t just marry her I married my daughter’s new example. ‘We are all flawed, sinners and have made mistakes but I hope you decide to keep loving, keep the faith and God will to send you what’s yours…. #Amen.’”
It didn’t take long for fans to start questioning Lee’s looks.
They really got into it too, digging into her ethnicity with fervor. They found out that her given name is Samantha Schwalenberg according to LinkedIn. Then they found out that she had participated in the Mr. and Mrs. Latin UGA pageant in 2011.
According to Straight From The A, her mother is Latina and her father is white.
