Okay, so I saw this question popping up all over the internet: “Is James Franklin African American?” I got curious, so I decided to dig in and find out for myself. Here’s how I went about it:

My Little Investigation
First, I jumped onto Google – my usual go-to for quick info. I typed in “James Franklin” to see what would come up. I mostly got a bunch of stuff about the Penn State football coach.
So, to be more specific, I added “ethnicity” and “background” to my search. I figured that would narrow things down. This time, the search results started showing articles and interviews that talked about his background.
- I skimmed through a few articles.
- I noticed some mentioned his parents.
I saw that James Franklin has publicly identified himself as African American.I also see he’s talked openly about his experiences as a Black man in * became very clear the answer is YES.
It wasn’t rocket science, just a bit of focused searching. Sometimes the simplest approach is the best!
