Black Like Whom? Justin Timberlake Loses Cred

Allison Samuels of Newsweek is reporting that *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake may be losing his credibility in the black community after his reaction to the uproar caused at the Super Bowl when he exposed the breast of Janet Jackson. “It’s just maddening because he was as black as black could be until Super Bowl night,” a close friend of Jackson said. “In his mind, he was as black as 50 Cent because he knew the words to a Marvin Gaye song. He rolled in both worlds, living it up. But as soon as something went wrong, we got a chance to see how white he really was. He left Janet hanging big time, and she’s still hurt by that.”
