Justin Chambers Has a Black Wife Named Keisha

by Paula Neal Mooney

Again I was catching up with my TiVo'd shows whilst putting teeny-tiny microbraids in my hair and was caught by surprise when The View interviewed Grey's Anatomy hottie Justin Chambers, and they flashed a picture of his wife, Keisha, on the screen.

Is she black? I asked myself, cause no one else was asking.

Sure I knew all about Justin Chambers and his five kids, but I naturally assumed his wife would be a beautiful blonde named Becky or something, not a beautiful black woman named Keisha Chambers.

Justin Chambers has a black wife. Wow. There, I said it. Or wrote it, actually. I wrote the thing that many folks are skirting around on the message boards and avoiding writing. They seem to be avoiding a mention of the interracial factor like the black plague. (Yes, I'm trying to work the words "Justin Chambers" and "black wife" into this post as many times as editorially possible.)

"She's not what I expected," is the most common and safe comment people seem to be typing around the blogosphere about Keisha Chambers. A lot better than some of the comments I found about Justin Chambers' fellow co-star Ellen Pompeo and her black fiance, Chris Ivery.

Justin told the ladies of The View that he was turned on by how Keisha dialed the phone with her pencil when they first met, by her self-assuredness and sensuality. Good for him. They do in fact make a beautiful couple.

But I found it strange that the gabbermouths went silent over the black elephant in the room. Well, maybe not. Even a mention of the fact that Keisha is black would cause some people to cry racism when in fact folks could just be making a simple observation.

Let's face it -- we are all more accustomed to seeing black men marry white women, especially a lot of black men in the public eye, and not as used to seeing white men marry black women. But God bless that Grey's Anatomy cast. They're a real United Nations over there.

Justin and Keisha met when Justin was a Calvin Klein model and she worked at a modeling agency. But aside from that, I haven't found out much more about the woman who has borne him five kids and looks just as fabulous as if she never had any. That fact alone intrigues me to no end...

Yeah, you I saw them interview Henry Simmons, a couple of years ago. They went to town on the fact that he has a white wife how others react to it.

But because Justin is white they simply didn't know how (or were afraid) to approach it. You could read it all over their faces that they wanted to, though.

Double standards are something else.

It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes.

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
