Mike Tirico Says He’s Italian Not Black.

.

Twitter users were generally confounded when NBC Sports announcer Mike Tirico essentially said he wasn’t black Saturday. Instead, Tirico considers himself an Italian guy who grew up in Queens, New York.

The discussion about his race came up during a Saturday interview with theNew York Times titled, “Mike Tirico Would Like to Talk About Anything but Mike Tirico.”

.

“Why do I have to check any box?” he said. “If we live in a world where we’re not supposed to judge, why should anyone care about identifying?”


He added: “The race question in America is one that probably never produces a satisfactory answer for those who are asking the questions.”

“When people go around and say, ‘You are black’ — well, I don’t encourage it, but by the same token I don’t back off of it,” he said at the time. “If you want to call me that, that’s fine. But, you know, in my whole family, there’s nobody I know who is black.”

Tirico said he was raised by his white mother, Maria. “The only contact I had growing up was with my mom’s side of the family. And they are all as white as the refrigerator I’m standing in front of right now,” he explained.

. Tirico elaborated on the confusion of his race. “I know the story sounds like a lot of bull, but it’s the truth” he said about finding out if he has black ancestor. “Does it matter to me? Yeah, I’d like to find out the truth at some point, so I can answer questions for my kids. But me? I’m living, I’m working, I’m leading an upstanding life. I don’t worry about it.”

Wow, some of ya'll worse than bedwenches. Man said, fukk the ancestors, IDC bout them nikkahs.

This has been talked about ad nauseam on this site. He been a lost soul. But he ain't stupid. He know damn well some black man was piping his momma down and and rotated up out of there on her ass. Now he wanna act willfully ignorant cause he would rather be white. His mom was probably a hoe, letting all kind of nikka nut in her and bounce. White people can have this fool though. We don't want his corny ass

Well If his mom is white and his dad is Black than he isn't Black, he's biracial.

Technically he is half white, so he is not really black:Jordanzzzz:

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

To people saying that he's technically mixed, that's not the point. The point is, that he denies having any black in him. This fool thinks his father is white He really said that shyt before

Nationality != Race

 

[Cabbage Patch]

Remember when the cops identified Tiger as black on his police report? Remember when each of his white jump offs referred to him as a black boy?

Mike Tirico can call himself whatever he wants. Whites will never accept him as white.

Nationality != Race

Then why say he's a nationality and deny he's a race.

He's an American.

He's black.

He's using Italian as a substitute for race -- like Rashida Jones used Jew as a substitute for race.
