Former The Young and the Restless star Shemar Moore gave an interesting, to say the least, point of view on race relations in America, using his own life as a bi-racial Black man as the basis for his argument.

But I am proud to be Black, but I am also proud to be white,” Moore began.

While Moore clearly identifies as a Black man, he should also know that he’s not denouncing his white parent by doing so.

And the argument of using there’s good and bad sides to all races doesn’t hold up when we are clearly talking about how Black people are targeted and limited in their access to equality based on their skin color.

But, the actor did say he will use his platform to highlight what’s happening to Black people in America and vowed to use influence at work to make it apparent to network executives that they should also be on the right side of history.
