Didn't he used to identify as a Native American?

Controversy arose over both the adoption and Depp's portrayal of a Native American character,[82] as Depp was not raised in, nor has confirmable ancestry from, a Native American community, though he has said he "guesses" he may have some distant Cherokee or Creek ancestry

Sounds like a confused negro. That fool is white.

He is black too. He has a black ancestor.

Depp is the star of the films, Pirates of the Caribbean, Public Enemies and Edward Scissor Hands. In an interview he stated that his great grandmother has a lot of Cherokee heritage. (3)

From an interview in 2002 he stated that he was a mixture of German, Irish and Cherokee among other things.(2) There are some rumors on the internet that Depp also has Lebanese heritage, though this is not confirmed.

Some of Depp’s biographies state that his family name Depp is of French origin, derived from the names Pierre Deppe or Dieppe. He jokingly says that his surname means “idiot” in German.

The link below (1) shows a family tree on Depp’s father’s side that leads right up to his grandfather Oren Laramore Depp. If you go back 9 generations on this family tree it will lead to a woman named Martha, born in 1612, who was a woman of African descent.

An interesting piece of trivia is that Martha’s daughter, Elizabeth Key was the first woman of African ancestry to successfully take legal action to free herself from slavery. This happened in 1656. (4)

Let that black boy fly.

He didn't even try to put on an accent. Why is this thread here again, unless this is the official Superbowl Commencials thread.
