Is Derek Jeter #blackexcellence?

[BLAZO da GAWD]

Just wondering what my fellow Coli brethren think?

NO

I DONT RECALL HIM EVER CLAIMING TO BE BLACK
OR AFRICAN AMERICAN.

HE ALSO MARRIED A CAC
SO THERE GOES THAT GENERATIONAL WEALTH.

Growing up in NY, I didn't even know his father was Black till they did a story on him, dude never repped being black and I had assumed he was Italian the way they all rode for him with their "Jettaaaaah" shyt on the radio.

 

[JarrodG]

Of course

 

[GhostoftheMan]

i thought he was puerto rican for the longest

he never talked about being black

 

[woof]

He donates to HBCUs and his Turn 2 Foundation has mostly worked with black and Latino kids over the years.

He's never hid that he's (half) black, as he's had his dad out front from the beginning.

Lots of non-black celebrities donate and send black kids to HBCUs every year on scholarships?

He's biracial. He's as much black as he is white. Call him #halfblackexcellence if it makes you feel better.

Yeah they do, not a lot but they do. Charles Koch teams with black colleges on education and criminal justice research

Billionaire Charles Koch, a prominent backer of conservative political causes, is giving $25.6 million to enable scholars at historically black universities to research education, criminal justice and entrepreneurship in communities plagued by high crime and other social ills.

And we're on the same page, hes biracial.
