Martin Gore is half black?

[TheChameleonsRgod]

According to Jonathan Miller's book "Stripped: Depeche Mode" (Omnibus Press, 2003, 2004, ISBN 1-84449-415-2, pp. 318-319), Gore's biological father was an African-American GI stationed in the UK. Gore was raised by his stepfather and biological mother. Miller quotes childhood friends and Gore himself. According to Miller's source, Gore is of mixed ethnicity, and, as an adult, met his father in the American South. Gore responds to the source's information and is quoted in Miller's book saying "It brings up family traumas" and "It's one of those things I'd rather not talk about."

I read that entire book last summer, but I guess anything can escape the mind when nipply leather is all anyone ever sees...

Bob Marley was half-black too. I don't really see any resemblance though:

Dave Gahan is part Malaysian as well, not that it matters.
