PBS's docuseries "Finding Your Roots" has changed "True Blood" star Joe Manganiello's understanding of himself forever.

In a clip of the show, which helps celebrities trace their ancestry, shared with Rolling Stone, host Henry Louis Gates tells Manganiello he's 7% Sub-Saharan African, which means he's descended from slaves.

Shockingly, the "Magic Mike XXL" star also learned that none of his DNA matches the Manganiello name. That means that the man Manganiello thought was his grandfather, Emilio Manganiello, isn't. His father's DNA revealed that his great-grandparents were William Henry Cutler, a Black man, and Nellie Alton, a white woman.

Because of the magnitude of the revelations, the show implemented its "ethics protocol," which allowed Manganiello to opt out of the episode if he wanted.

"We give them the option of getting out of the series if they want. Then nobody will know except me and a couple of producers. And there are a couple of people that have withdrawn over the years," Gates told Rolling Stone.

But Manganiello decided to share his family secrets on the show. "There are things that make sense now," he told the outlet. "I'm descended from survivors."

Manganiello's great grandparents, Cutler and Alton, married in 1887, nearly a century before Loving V. Virginia was overturned, which allowed interracial couples to wed in modern-day America. A few generations before that, Manganiello's fifth great-grandfather, Plato Turner, was born in Africa and came to the US as a child slave, Rolling Stone revealed. Turner eventually served as a soldier for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.

Manganiello pointed out what a long journey Turner took "to come from West Africa in chains, on a ship, and to come to the United States and earn your freedom."

He also noted that it was "backwards" that Turner fought in the Revolutionary War in an unsegregated army under the promise that "all men are created equal" only for there to be a Civil War to abolish slavery 100 years later.


The fact that he's a descendant of slaves considerably shifted Manganiello's sense of identity, he said, because he believed his father was "F.B.I." or "full-blooded Italian" growing up in Boston. The family thought that if they had Black ancestors, it would be because they were Sicilian.
"All of a sudden, I can see myself clearly for the first time," he admitted, adding that he felt like the person he saw in the mirror was "mirror completely out of focus" until now.


 
The dude is Italian.
- His ethnicity is Italian.
- He was raised as Italian.
- He has identified as Italian all his life.
Any Black blood he has is so diluded that it might as well be non-existant.

But I openly admit that I hate him though. 'Cuz he's tall, handsome and he's married to:

Lucky bastard... ;)

On the flipside; if his ancestry is Sicilian, (and if you believe Quentin Tarantino's explaination) then we all know the truth about "modern" Sicilians:

Fuck outta here you $5 Indian ass guido. The guidelines are simple: you are identified and are genetically black, your family was enslaved, and been here before 1865. We should make exceptions for those who were brought in after 1865 since slavery was still in effect until the early 1900s when our people were still being brought, sold, traded, and most importantly forced to build America from the ground up by force without compensation. They say the last slave to be freed was not until the 1960s or early 1970s like 1971 or some shit. I know slavery was still in full effect after the Civil War. Black folks still need to be paid for fighting all those wars from the Revolutionary, Civil War, WW1&2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and smaller wars not mentioned where Black Americans saved whole nations. Like David Fagan who defected from the American Army to help save the Philippines from being slaughtered by the Spaniards.
 
Not gonna lie. Who is this guy? Is he famous enough that we should care? He isn’t a black girl.
 
so far I haven't heard when the criteria should be other than DNA link.... :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

:smh: :smh:

 
Me and others such as @VAiz4hustlaz for example have spoken on this ad nauseam.
You just had you fat head up your narrow ass.

I dont follow you or pay attention to your stupid ass so take YOUR fathead outta your ass and say what is or shut the fuck up and leave the thread and take your lover vaiz with you

Yeah, at this point most white folks are the MC Search character in the Mau-Maus. One sixteenth makes you about as black as John Gotti!!! Folks see that Nigerian - 0.000016% and go: OH MY GOD, I'M BLACK!!!!!
 
Hell fucking no he does not qualify for reparations. Most new world Hispanics have African or indigenous ancestors. Fact remains is there are cultural practices in Latin America specifically detailed to mix out Blackness. In accordance with the Royal Decree of Graces of 1815. That's why Hispanics will tell you "they no Black". Hispanics/Latinos practice ethnic cleansing to this day.
 
That motherfucker ain't getting no money he keep his cac right where he's at.

But it's a known fact I-talians got african blood even though they think it's tomato sauce but history and genetics say's something totally different,his kids and now he's going to start pointing out things like the hair,his son's athletic abilities.

He's not getting no money.....
