While Ribeiro has always expressed gratitude for the show’s success, the 49-year-old has also been vocal about how being typecast as a character like Carlton has made him feel ostracized from the Black community at large.

“It still happens almost every day, unfortunately,” Ribeiro told the Atlanta Black Star about having his Blackness challenged. “I am in a mixed relationship. And I get things and looks and comments constantly. And I find it very interesting because you see a lot of things on social media where people say things and people have positions and perspectives. And it’s not easy to make that choice, because you’re not at home in any home. I’m never going to be white and I’m never going to be fully supported in the Black house.”

Ribeiro married writer Angela Unkrich — who is white — in 2012, which he said has contributed to his feeling like the Black community doesn’t accept him.

“I’m in my own little world with support from almost no one, to be in love with someone I’ve fallen in love with. How does that make sense? It doesn’t,” he said. “We all want to live in a world where everyone is accepted for being and loving and living the way they choose to live. I will support any person that wants to live in a world that they want to live in.”

“I live in a mixed world. I love in a mixed world. I live in a Black world, and I love in that world. I feel everyone should be supported,” he continued.


He implied that these perceptions have led to the BET Awards neglecting to invite him, despite being so well known for The Fresh Prince as well as serving as the current host of ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos.

“I laugh at the fact that I am a mainstream television host, been in the game forever and I could purchase tickets to go to the BET Awards. So it is what it is. I’m not going to purchase the ticket…But at the end of the day, if that’s the view they take, then that’s the view they take. I can’t change their mind. All I can do is live my life and be me and be the best version of me. And continue to love everybody equally, and let it fall where it falls.”

black male celebrity get with a non black woman he has polarized many black women who not only head most black households but r also gate keepers for many functions. i think Ribeiro is fortunate to have mainstream appeal. he should count his blessings and money but i get the need for acceptance

Lets ignore falling in love and marrying someone that you genuinely care for that has looked out for you throughout your relationship despite their race.

All of a sudden they have to be black or else you’re disrespecting your ancestors

Human beings are idiots and the ones that follow idiots like Umar are even bigger idiots

I think its funny that you fall back on this narrative of pure love tr@nscending skin color or whatever

yes its possible to genuinely love someone outside of your own race. . .and there are some white people out there that are legitimate allies

but lets not act like theres not a lot of fetishization behind these marriages

now me personally, i dont really care who you choose to marry, in that it doesnt affect my life who alfonzo decide to lay with. . .just dont be too surprised when black people not trying to hear all that black community sh1t from him with his white wife

and if you dont like umar as a messenger, i get it. . .
