She famously quipped, “What the f*ck does she mean? That’s a disgrace! She’s a Black girl.”Zoe Saldana. Zoe Saldana said that she thinks “there’s no such as people of color.”While on BET, she said: “I literally run away from people that use words like ethnic. It’s preposterous! To me there is no such thing as people of color cause in reality people aren’t white. Paper is white. People are pink, it’s a bit ridiculous when I have to explain to a human being, that is an adult like I am, that looks intelligent but for some reason I have to question his intelligence and explain to him as if he was a two year old, my composition in order for him to say, . I feel like as a race, that’s a minute problem against the problems we face just as women versus men, in a world that’s more geared and designed to cater towards the male species.”Keyshia Cole. When R& B singer Keyshia Cole said that she was hesitant about participating in Black Girls Rock because she wasn’t sure if she was Black, Black Twitter exploded with criticism.

Video model Karrine Steffans — better known by her industry nick name Superhead — says that she doesn’t consider herself or her son African- American. Karrine says that because she’s from St. Thomas, she doesn’t have a black “state of mind”: “I think people forget, I’m an islander. I’m not African American. I don’t have like African American struggles. I just don’t. I don’t have the same history. So, and I’m not even tryna be facetious. And the history that comes with that. And all things that are passed down from generation to generation. Shame sexually. Sexually shaming. Shame on the female gender. Shame just all kinds of shame. And belittling and all those things that come from post- slavery.”Raven Symone. Former Cosby Show star Raven- Symone recently shocked her fans when she told Oprah that she didn’t want to be labeled “gay” or “African- American”: “I’m tired of being labeled. I’m an American.

Kidada Jones says that her famous sister Rashida used to pass for white back when they were in school. She told Glamour Magazine,“I didn’t want my mother to come to my new school.
