He's quite petite and has those eyes. I never thought that he was, until someone asked this very question. That's partly because I don't like his music and didn't study his face that well.

nodo, its a bit more than some black heritage - his dad is black link. To be fair I have read elsewhere that Miller's father himself was biracial but identified himself as black. Thanks for the more indepth information.

Mariah has always, since the beginning of her career, acknowledged that her father was black.
Ebony 1991
Just about every article about Mariah mentions this since the beginning of her career. Some are inaccurate, because entertainment journalist don't do fact checks. I've read articles where they say her father was born and raised in Venezuela.
You know, I post on a black geared message board. Some there don't consider black at all.

I'm not disputing the Ebony article, but I heard on Radio Scope -- straight from Mariah's mouth -- the old laundry list of ethnicities. She said her father was Venzeula, She's part (list of ethnicities).
She never mentioned the word black.
Radio Scope was like there you have it or do you?
I'm thinking she probably was wishy-washy in her answers to the press in regards to her race. Perhaps, she told Ebony that she was black, but I know for a fact, she didn't tell Radio Scope that.
Personally, she could lie all she wanted, but she wasn't fooling me.
Off of Mariah, I saw a biography on Sandra Dee, and Rita Coolidge was being interviewed. Now, Rita is always someone I wondered about, because of her dark complexion.
Anyone have any facts on her?

Radio Scope was a radio show, on the radio, right? I've heard of it. Unless it's on the internet somewhere, I probably didn't hear it, since it most likely didn't air on the one radio station in my hometown.
So once out of the thousands of interviews she's done in her 15 year career she doesn't mention black. Would you still have a problem if Mariah left off that he's part hispanic, and just said he was black? Or how about if she just said she was black, and made no mention of having a white parent.

It is evident that she has some mixture, so if she didn't mentioned the other races, then that would not be that much of a slam.
For instance, when Leif Garrett said he was part black, I didn't think he was leaving out the fact that he was part white, because you can tell he must be some parts white.
I just hate it when celebs try to hide the fact that they have black heritage, as if it some bad thing.
So when they do the laundry list, a la Vin Diesel, I just go okay, whenever you need the black audience's support, I'm sure you'll remember that part of your lineage.
Re: Mariah's sirname
Someone posted an article on her exploring the "Venezuelan" background, in which she could not find no link on her visit. Perhaps, it was on this board. Anyway, I think Daddy Carey was just a garden variety black man, who lived in New York.
