Pete Wentz is trending because Twitter is reminded that he's half black

[babarsuhail]

people forget that pete wentz is half black and that fall out boy has always been anti-racism and pro-lgbtq plus they showed kaepernick kneeling at their shows https://t.co/Yu4eIrNu0Y

It started when Fall Out Boy announced on their Twitter (above) that they are donating $100K to BLM causes

One drop Twitter makes Pete Wentz trend every couple of years over this. Like, aren't y'all tiredt???

[black_swan87]

I hate the concept of the one drop tule so much

[nomoneyfun]

Right? Like, it has a deeply racist history and is currently used to assert that people with Black ancestry are Black, which simply aids in the erasure dark-skin Black people. Really ugly.

[black_swan87]

And there’s never any pressure on white people to accept a black person with a “drop” of white ancestry either, it’s bullshit

[sadteenager]

[sadmagikarp]

mte. really this is what y'all want to talk about rn?

[brokecouture]

I was gonna say... he’s not really half black if his mom is mixed too

[ohwutevernvm]

Oop I’m already high and half sleep lol. 😅

he’s not really half black if his mom is mixed too

^ can you please kindly elaborate?

[brokecouture]

I mean I don’t know his momma she could just be light skinned but if she is biracial herself then he’s got black in him yes, but he’s not necessarily half black.

[andromakhe001]

I was reading on LSA today and apparently his mom's biracial herself.

[brokecouture]

I guess I’m being technical lol
