Amar’e Stoudemire’s Jewish Like David Lee is Black

Amar’e Stoudemire lit up the Internet yesterday when he said he was “the new Reggie White” and “I’m going 2 Israel 2 study Hebrew. It’s time 2 get a better understanding on who we R.” Call me skeptical but I thought Stoudemire was trying to suck up to the world’s largest Jewish community outside of Israel. What better way to show a new fan base that you’re just like them than to embrace their culture. Next we’ll see David Lee on a bus in East Oakland claiming he’s black (Which I don’t recommend unless he’s rolling with EBM). Amar’e used @Amareisreal earlier today to straighten out why he’s in Israel and what he’s studying. Good for him, whatever his intentions are.

It’s very possible Stoudemire has Hebrew ties. Most African-Americans are mixed and whether it’s with Native Americans, Europeans or anybody else, you can’t tell just by looking at the person. Or his mom. Ask Charles Barkley and Snoop Dogg.
