I always say that Black people are the biggest racist because they hate themselves.

1:37 continent, sweetheart

Coloured Girls!!! Whaaaat??? Or you can be tooo bleck!

Your description, sound like your talking about amso call white/pale, nexican, mixed people!!

😮 I am not half White but clean habesha eritrean 🥵 africans and carribeans still claim I am not truelly african as them🤗 black people is so racist especially in Denmark

Sounds like you're a fellow unambiguous exotical 😉❤

💯🙌🏾 She definitely has an African shaped nose. I don’t see anything Eurocentric about her !! You ate with this vid.

it’s so annoying honestly! i can’t even count the times where i got told i talk proper and that im not “black” enough, it’s exhausting coming from your own people ! i’m glad i came across your channel and u just earned a sub💗

It’s annoying. Let people enjoy things. I feel you as an introverted artist. It’s anihilating.

Worry about NOT BEING white enough.

Omg, if I had a nickel for every time I was told, "You sound white!"

All you can do is be yourself!!!

I don't care because I'm not a color. Other people say that I'm black but I've never considered myself to be that. I've never been accepted and that's cool for me. I'm not going to join a cult.

I don't know, I don't see BWE channels as very colorist. Male centered... Maybe. But to me they mention colorism when it is relevant and really hapening. You must be talking about some specific content creators

We need to see more black women outside of the ghetto, ratchet look. This is not all black women. We have different looks and softness. et. I am so over the your not black enough. You are enough ignore the nah sayers

I love your voice, so beautiful ❣️

Hey !

I never cared to be black enough for them 🙂‍↔️😁 I am very proud to be mixed ❤ I always been in diverse environments 😌

As cliche as it sounds, in the end we're all just people, humans, on a small rock in a vast universe, caring seems petty from a wider perspective. Do what you want, literally, live for you, the phrase alone, "black enough" means youre trying to prove to someone.

i know you don't mean harm but please Africa is not a country. much love to you 😍

I'm so thankful that my mother taught me to appreciate education and cultural diversity. I am mixed with several things from both sides of my family, but I get pulled into the black category typically, so that would definitely cause issues at school when I had my own identity and even wanted to engage different parts of my culture. The "Jordans" thing was so ridiculous in high school 🤣I wouldn't buy those because I spent money on general nice clothes that I thought looked nice, focusing on going to school for education. Edit: One of the last points you made resonates so much. I feel like those people do want to feel validated in who they are. If they let past traumas keep them down, they want you to be down as well. If you break out of that box, it tends to make them upset and feel like they failed. It's the crabs in a cooking pot mentality

*You're* (you are).

Yup! Fellow Caribbean immigrant living in the US now. I can definitely relate to 95% of what you mentioned. It’s so embarrassing how these folks act & carry themselves 🤦🏽‍♀️ Obviously not all. But making ghetto culture the representation of what blackness is just 😓😓😓😓 You’re basically expected to: be uncultured, undereducated, have several kids out of wedlock, (preferably from different men), be on welfare your whole life, live in dangerous neighborhoods, be overly sexual, be overweight, be always ready to fight people, wear bonnets in public, be loud & obnoxious at all times, express yourself in a violent/aggressive manner, not know how to speak proper English & vote democrat 😑 IT’S EXHAUSTING!!!!

I can relate 😢

As a uniqa I heard the "not black enough phrase" quite a bit. Like they are so against us uniqas or """oreos""" who are monoracially black, yet so ready to accept a non black person who listens to hip hop or wears street fashion with open arms.

Wake up babe new pcg vid is uploaded

Correct👆🏾

It's sad after all these years we still hate our hair and skin color. We still considered the European standard of beauty is better. These people have low self esteem and we can't let their problem be our problem.

Wow. After listening to the entire video I realize you yourself have self hate . Just listening to how you excuse light skin women and blk males but are so critical of dark/ unambiguous blk women. Why would you place all the burden of dealing with colourism on unambiguous women. That's so weird. All I hear is what Whyte people often tell blk people, "Pull yourself by the bootstrap." Are you kidding me. You want unambiguous black women to just ignore the constant media bashing (TV, social media, songs, and professional experiences) and just chalk it up to someone not having a good day. I personally think you are being intentionally obtuse. Our plight as unambiguous black women is quantifiable. Statistically proven how colorism affects not only our self-esteem and dating prospects but our lively hoods. It affects the jobs we get, essentially limiting how many of us get to achieve economic growth because opportunities are fewer for us, not just as blk women but dark/unambiguous bw. We also get longer jail sentences than lighter women because we are seen as less innocent. An example is how YOU didn't even touch on how constantly dark/unambiguous black women have to deal with colorism compared to the once in a while, a light skin girl or woman gets bullied because their light skin. You still have self hate. If you could extend that much compassion to blk males and light skin bw, the people who constantly perpetuate colorism for the world to see and later justify, but not to unambiguous black women says a lot. You act as though dark/unambiguous blk women exist in a vacuum. We ourselves perpetuate self hating sentiments just on our own. It's absolutely not because we were once innocent little children who were taught to be self hating, (through the media, friends and adult's around us) and can sometimes exhibit those self hating tendencies because of that indoctrination. I admit those channels can be little to much sometimes but if you could see the issues with those channels so clearly. Why didn't you even address the constant bombardment dark/unambiguous black women face, of how most of the world is colorist and we bear the major consequence of that because we are blk and female, in this very anti blk and very s*xist world. Are you also placing the blame dark skin bw, for blk males being able to be unambiguously blk in media and bw only being represented by biracial or light skin women. Why must bw be the "bigger person" or be placed on a higher expectation of morality in the face of clear oppression? If you were to apply everything you said in this video about colorism between bw, blk males and light skin women to the issue of raci*sm I can guarantee you that blk people will definitely classify you as anti blk, a uncle Tom or a raCoon. 🦝🦝🦝🦝. This video was basically saying, "Actually blk people, if you just ignored r*cism it wouldn't affect you. If you cry about it, I can tell you that SOME Whyte people have experienced the same from you. Black males and light skin women why are you anti black? Don't you know you are also blk?" I honestly think you sound goofy in this video, real GOOFY!

Omg I relate to that oreo thing so much. It was purely because I read a lot of books, watched anime, wore my natural hair (which doesn't make any sense as that's literally the blackest thing you can do), and didn't live in the hood (or the "endz" as they call it here in England). I felt obligated to dumb down my speech and abandon my hobbies but no longer. :)

I have not had someone directly try to cut off my hair but there was a few times that I went to a hairdresser (which I don't usually go to because I prefer to take care of and style my own hair) and even though her children had long 4c hair, she would rake a comb through my hair and blow dry it with high heat, no heat protectant, and when it was already dry (which makes no sense because why are you blowdrying dry hair??). I'm not a very confrontational person so I kept my mouth shut about it. I don't go anymore and I don't think that I can trust anyone else with my hair. The last time was last year and my hair has only just reach mid back again after I had to chop a lot of the damage off. :(

A lot of people don’t know this ! But this is really good information thanks 🙏 ❤

I am so happy to find a small channel targeting what I have been through ! (youtube spying on me..?) I'm French and despite not having experienced any obvious racist treatment in the streets and having a supportive family, I had to experience colorism at school, bc it was a private one (predominantly white). It was not about specifically putting me down (never bullied) but always putting white, blondes, light-eyed girls on a pedestal. I started thinking "why don't I deserve that treatment ? Maybe I'd prefer be white". That was the start. Right now I'm working on my self-esteem, accepting that I might be pretty in the end, despite not noticing any male attention. I no longer cry bc I have dark brown eyes, or a round nose. It's coming together !

It’s so nice to hear that the colourism debate is also sounding toxic to you aswel - self hate will only breed insecurities and low self esteem. I have a lot of “colourism” from dark skinned woman because I love my hair,skin and my features I love myself and I won’t apologise to anyone for being who I am I was born this way. There’s should be more channels about how to take care of Afro hair and doing different styles instead of the self potty colourism channels. No everyone will find you attractive or make you feel beautiful in this world just loving yourself is enough we all have insecurities but blaming eachother instead of dealing with the trauma and healing is not productive

Omg 16:00 thats exactly what I said! Francesca is very pretty to me and I saw nothing wrong with her ! I think she is the definition of effortless black beauty. I posted her pic and black women were saying she was ugly and that her hair was unkempt . But because I do not have 4c hair and I don’t have these biases against it , I never viewed her as unkempt nor did I view her hair as ugly. Someone else said she had old braids which again was something I never noticed (idk what that even means. Are they trying to say she doesn’t have her edges slicked?) the internalized texturism was jumping out with people who criticized Francesca. I also thought Francesca was pretty with little to no makeup and again boom. People in my comments said she was ugly. But what about her facial features was ugly ? In my opinion she looked like a pretty unambiguous girl . I really do feel like a lot of women let their own insecurities get the best of them and they try to project their insecurities onto other women . Anyway great video !

9:51 THIS I absolutely agree. I feel like its the old wave of the colorism community but the new channels are popping up are actually trying to pedestalise thier own features! Like I can't stand the chrissie type channels who prpose no systemic changes to racism and colorism

Watching this while I cook, love your channel ♡

2:47 oh wow that’s interesting . Out of curiosity, do you have an African or carribean background or was the friend who was selling the lightening creams African American? Or did she have a background from somewhere else ? I would be shocked if she was African American but anyway let me keep watching the video ❤🍿

True

I also have short 4b/4c hair. I like it long but I couldn’t find type 4 wigs in my area with an affordable price. I never was confortable wearing straight/loose curl hair, sew ins. So I just kept doing cornrows/braids back and forth. I also have sensible scalp.

u have the best nuanced view on the ekane situation sumed it up perfectly ✨

Here.

👏🏽. Thank you for this video.

You should definitely do a DNA test- I'm willing to bet you have a high percentage of east indian in you ( the east african look plus being caribbean/ west indian). Douglas/ mixed indian black ppl generally have thus phenotype. Great video, you hit the nail on every head ❤

Great video

I was called Oreo by my own family 🤦🏽‍♀️ just because I didn’t fit their stereotypical black person 😂😂 I can relate because my dad is Haitian while my mom is black American. I face diaspora from both sides

Here

I've been told I act like I want to be white. Excuse me? Did you see me wear a blonde wig and blue eye contacts or something? Did I join the KKK? What made people think I want to be white? Just because I speak and dress well?

Excellent video ! ❤ I can relate to being called an Oreo as well 😂
