THIS should be the top comment! To piggyback off of what you said, they'll also be sure to make the woman a dark skinned black woman when it's time to make fun of black women.
Lol, this is laughable! First it was the one drop rule now they want to distinguish themselves. Make up your minds. Nonsense They are black to racist phucks, you get it correct. KMT!
I'm biracial. Blasian. 🇺🇸🇵🇭 I'm Black. I'm Filipino. I define myself for myself. When I'm followed in Target, I'm Black. When I get pulled over by the cops, I'm Black. When I go to the Philippines, they see me as Black or Other. I don't get to pick and choose what I am. They don't ask if Im biracial. They see my dark skin and don't care. All I know is, I stick up for Black causes and issues and I won't forsake my Blackness to be more acceptable to my Filipino side.
No dear, you are bi-racial. Calling yourself a BW is disrespectful to BW. BW are needed to replicate themselves. No other race of woman can create a BW. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being biracial.
Though I do think that some folks are very much jealous of biracials, this is more about the decrease of representation of black American women in the media over the years due to biracials constantly being cast as fully black American women when in the 80s and 90s, this wasn't the case. The tv and music industry was full of gorgeous black American women like Monica, Kelly Rowland, Janelle Monet and Ciara, but this has dwindled down drastically with our representation being replaced by people who are biracial. Personally, I've had people from other communities essentially say that they prefer your aestethic over ours, which, honestly, was racist, but I understood the mindset immediately. They like what looks and us culturally closer to them, but in place of us and therefore will use y'all to substitute us.You're part of our community, but I think y'all need your own spot and not ours. None of this is your fault, though, but it is a problem.
@@sparklesp9304 I fully agree. I get mad at biracial women who talk mess, think they are better, and more beautiful than full Black women. I see the injustice you speak about and I get so mad. That's why I always fight for Black women and causes. I have experienced employers hiring me because of my look. I give them just enough color without being too offensive with too dark skin. It's just enough for them to tolerate and I don't like it at all. I see the deepest shades of Black women and I have always thought they are gorgeous. So I continue to fight for them. My parents got together and had me. I had no control over that, but I can help fight the injustice that I see and misrepresentation out here. Especially from guys like Chris Brown who do nothing but promote light skin biracial women in their videos. Sometimes it's a curse because people see me and my looks and think I ride with those messed up biracial chicks. No matter the backlash I get I will continue to fight for Black women because they deserve to be celebrated.

The moment you realize most black representations in film and TV is actually biracial representation
@Riana Anaïs 😕But when it comes to black men in Hollywood, they show actual black men like :will Smith, Idris Elba, Forest Witaker, Eddie Murphy, Samuel L Jackson,Morgan Freeman, Michael B. Jordan,Anthony Mackie, Morris Chestnut and the list goes on..

As a biracial person I know that many biracial people never really feel like they belong to neither both sides. That’s not true. You belong to both. You are both. Be proud of that. Never let people tell you what’s in your blood or not.
You don’t fully belong to both communities, because you arw a mixture of them. So that means you’re neither of them seperately. You belong to other biracial people, who are mixed with the same races as you. As soon as you accept that, life will get easier. Just accept yourself fully
@@rl.8011 since I am born of a black father and white mother I am both invited to both worlds, there's nothing we need to accept, you need to accept to stay out of our business and stay in your "own lane"
We’re the only group that continue to fight eachother hence why we’re still down. If a racist person was to see any of them brown skinned biracial ppl do u really think they could sit at the same table together??? Why are we really coming up with more reasons to separate from one another. Its a fuckin joke. And then we all blame the corrupt system for our position in life. At some point we have to take a hard long look in the mirror and realise we aint doin enough as black ppl to unite. Why are black ppl always on a mission of self destruct???🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I’m glad we are respectfully making this distinction between ourselves and our diverse groups it shows we have value in our own bloodline as Black people.

Because what I am hearing in this thread is...if a black man have a baby with a white woman...she will give birth to a black baby. If that is the case...what do we need black women for??? 🤔
I view distinguishing between biracial and black as showing respect to both groups ✌🏿 To pretend we are the same is disrespectful (and usually only beneficial to biracials).
@sheryl petite then I'm white cuz that's what see my self as even if my skin black as hell.. and those other white girls who say they feel black are black too. Example bhadbabie. They're biracial and that's it. There's nothing wrong with calling them biracial Hun because that's what they are.

It's one thing to accept people into your community. it's another thing completely to place them on a pedestal and use them as a false representation of who you are. Even if they're black by some stretch of the imagination, they are not supposed to be the face of black women or representation for us.
Tell that to the white people that control television media and magazines. If you don't want them to be the face of blackness, then come together with your money and create your own networks and magazines and advertising companies.
@@IndigoCosmic When blk people get opportunities to be in charge of casting they express a notable preference for their biracial counterparts. E.g Kenya Barris whose greatest achievement is marrying a biracial woman since he never seems to shut up about it. Instead of making these silly claims you might want to check the imdb credits of many of the castings of "blk" women. Look for the casting director. Plus, yt people giving preference to biracials shouldn't be a shock. You forget that half-yt biracials are also their kids. Of course they'd give them preferential treatment. However the focus is what we accept and praise as representation.
@durranofthetower7306 I'm not shocked that they're given preferential treatment, but it sounds like you forgot that in your original comment. So again, if black women specifically don't like who is being shown in the media representing them then Black Women need to come together with their money and create their own television networks and hire writers, actors and producers that they want to hire and not wait for white people or black men to do it. I mean, in Nigeria, literally, all of Nollywood films have black dark skinned women in them. Black women in America should follow suit instead of always complaining. Sure, there may be some black american women working towards that, but I never hear the ones complaining mention how they donate to these other womens projects. I mean, on Oprah's network, it's pretty much all black women on there. I've never seen a mixed woman as the lead character, so I don't get the constant complaining about these mixed women. If you know you're a black woman, why the need to point out that someone else isn't? I highly doubt a biracial woman calling herself black is going to change the identity in the minds of humans that darker black woman exist. Full blooded African women might as well do the same. If Black americans aren't 100% black because of slavery so then what?
@@IndigoCosmic My point is to call out the self-hate among black people themselves INCLUDING black women. The point is to change the destructive, self-hating mindset we have. A lot of bw have low self-esteem and have settled for living vicariously through biracial women. Black men on the other hand are very particular about their representation. The self-hate that causes them to place mixed people above themselves because of anti-black beauty standards. Black people before colonisation/slavery saw good and beauty in themselves and didn't worship people for being paler. We had lighter skinned people and nobody thought they were pretty just because they were lighter. Plus, there are more brown/darkskinned black people than there are lightskinned black people. I've been to multiple black majority countries to know this. When black people have a self-hating colorist/featurist and texturist mindset it results in them placing people that meet their self-hating standards above themselves. We're literally the only race that loves our biracials more than we love ourselves. Asians and whites don't put hapas above themselves and used them as the face of their community. It's weird. Plus with this mindset even when we have those platforms we end up perpetuating the exact same bs. We've seen countless shows where two black parents miraculously have a black son and mixed daughter. And whole time its a black person(man and woman) that was in charge of casting, the show is produced by a black person etc. Thats not how genetics work and no amount of gaslighting will change the fact that a person with two black parents and a biracial are not the same kind of person. Zazie Beetz was recently cast as stagecoach Mary, a woman phenotypically closer to Viola Davis and Lupit Nyongo. You know who made that happen? The casting director? An unambiguous, darkskinned black woman. So no, us having our own platform is clearly not enough. The mindset of how we perceive ourselves needs to change. Tbh, from looking at your profile pic I don't expect you to understand. People typically do not work to dismantle a system that benefits them. Y'all would rather keep the status quo in place because it benefits you.
@@IndigoCosmic BTW, A black American with a white ancestor from a 100 years ago is not the same as a person whose biological PARENT is non-black. It doesn't justify colorism/texturism/featurism or the hatred of the unambiguous west-central African black phenotype. I see you and others trying to pass off colorism as an act of "kindness" and "inclusion" that the black community extends to its lighter-skinned and biracial counterparts. Its not. Let's not be dense for the sake of proving a point.
They are not black if they have a parent that is not black… simple. If you mix the color red with the color white it is no longer red or white… it’s pink.
My 3 babies are BLACK AND WHITE= BIRACIAL.... BOTH ARE ON BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND IF THE CHOICE ISNT ON THE APPLICATION... I CHOOSE NONE AND WILL TEACH THEM THE SAME....
Well what do we identify as on paper? There is no “half and half” option? And what abt us who aren’t claimed by the other half because our skin is “too dark” ? I’m darkskinned so I get racially profiled and told I’m not actually latina, what do I do??🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
@@persephone7197 I’m not invalidating your struggle, it’s possible to endure bias as a dark skinned biracial but it doesn’t change the fact you’re biracial nonetheless. Whether the Latina community acknowledges you or not, you are still part of it. (Also this is response is me under the assumption that you are biracial, if not my bad 😅)
@@lockedhoneyprincess7333 Some mixed people are just far too mentally weak to just say that they are mixed. It's sad to see so many confused mixed people that are super desperate to fit into monoracial identities. If you're mixed, you're mixed. You are not Mixed Black, Mixed Asian, Mixed White, etc......you're just mixed/biracial/multiracial/etc. I have a hard time understanding why that's so hard for some mixed people to grasp. Also when they refer to the one drop rule which is their reason why they are black, it is just utterly racist and morally questionable. They are canceling out parts of their identities and other people's identities. Not to mention the one drop rule is outlawed and it now stands as a socially asinine belief which is why we have ignorant people claiming these women are black.
@@faiththompson9067 i garantee you its a black woman who made this video. Who tf cares what color u are, why are they so pressed and jealous of biracial women?
Nothing WRONG with being biracial but if you are biracial you are not BLACK just like you are not the other race you are mixed with and that is okay. Black people have 2 black parents.
I am a biracial woman. My mother is black, my dad is white. I was taught that God made me beautiful, and as a result, I do not prefer one side over the other. I am simply me. If anyone asks, I say I am mixed. My identity is not found in my skin color.
I'm mixed and I absolutely love 🥰🥰🥰 both being African American & Puerto Rican💯💯💯 PROUD! I'm thankful for not only my obviously beautiful skin tone and features, but also knowing the long, hard, and stressful years that my ancestors had to go through for not just me but others, to be able to live confidently always breaking barriers and wanting more because we deserve more/equal. It's so sad there are some/others who somewhat love, being themselves biracial, mixed, whatever! But are still insecure on the inside and fake happy and want to REALLY love the skin there in. Smh. I love the way God made me. wouldn't have it any other way🙏🏽💯😘

@@rl.8011facts!! As a 75% black American it’s a whole different experience than only being half black. I’m light skinned but not biracial & have a completely different life experience than biracials regarding featurism.
why tf does this matter 😭😭 edit : i do understand that representation matters , however , you shouldnt put one African American woman down to uplift another. To clarify, I am a 14 year old half Eritrean and half African American. To an ignorant individual, no matter our ethnic identity, we are seen as black and are also racially profiled. The women presented can represent the skin of girls like me that are black but may be mistaken as mixed. it shouldnt matter that they are lighter because its just as problematic as being criticized for being darker. Trust me, if a biracial individual appeared more African American than their other half, op wouldnt have a problem. We are all people of color and get discriminated against regardless of shade
So a lot of people don't understand why this matters, and it matters because fully black women are being underrepresented in media, music, movies, because biracial women are taking the spot of full black women. For example, instead of casting fully black women in roles made for fully black women, many more biracial women have been casted instead. There is an over-representation of biracial women in black media compared to black women. Even though way more black women exist. It's been this way since slavery, anyone closer to white gets better treatment and opportunities. White supremacy is at the root of colorism.
@@hannahwatkins7992 the common problem is that we’re letting white people define what an ideal black woman is. It should be up to us as a black community to push for better representation for ourselves and not rely on them, instead of telling a group of people what they aren’t.
Exactly. We hire many women for our photo shoots and do not discriminate however, we have found this to be the same. Our Head of Marketing has a biracial son whomis very fair, Mariah Carey skin tone, she always said he was biracial etc and to her admission told him not to emphasise he was black. However, he was unfairly profiled and unjustly arrested and subject to a miscarriage of justice for a few months. He was described through the police system as a black make. So like this post said, when successful industry/institutions will say biracial on the flip side if not then they are just black. We feel this post is trying to sow discord amongst black creating a hierarchy like biracial is better.

They are Black, only if half. When the dominant culture in the world discriminates against a bi-racial person, usually of Black and White mix -- bi-racial people who don't identify as Black shouldn't ask the Black community for help when White people are harming them in some kind of way. More numbers in the Black community means more political power. See the logic in that?

It's a shame that it if Black women paved the way for other Black women to have opportunities, and then those opportunities are given away to bi racials who in turn will not support Black people or represent Blackness at all except for the sake of self-advancement and profit and then taking those profits to the white community.
I mean technically they are both. They’re biracial but it doesn’t take away from them being black. If they claimed their other side instead of their black side, everyone would still be mad by not acknowledging their blackness.
Thank you. Im told your not black one second and the next they demand i stand up for BLM. Like make up your minds or am i only black when they have a use for me?
@@ilyaalister8193 I’m biracial, and so much of this video is incorrect. I’m half Black, which means I’m Black. Don’t worry about what they say, just live you’re life and be free.
That’s the thing. They NEVER claim their other side. Why? Because they would never be accepted as that. Asians whites and Hispanics are QUICK to let their mixed black children know that they are not the same.

Thanks for another separatist video, what a great help! GTHOH...sounds like a lesson in Genetics is needed..I swear we didn't always have this label issue.
Separatist to say the truth? 🧐🤨 Biracials have been pigeon holed - they aren’t given their own category basically and this is usually in white populated countries. If you have two black parents and share the cultures that come with it, it’s not the same as ppl who might ‘look’ more black than their other genetic lineage. No one’s attacking them but it’s facts
Do not let some jealous backed video and it's goonies make you think the world is like this. Let them have this lie. Because it starts here and stops here. People outside of the net and some on the net don't give a ****
Well I guess there are a lot of African Americans that would be considered mixed although they may not look like it..yeah the majority of Africa Americans or "black" people in the USA have some European ancestry.
Baby girl scroll through the comments you are absolutely right all these black women claiming someone to be biracial they are just as mixed as they are. The will established and esteem Professor Henry Louis Gates had a DNA show and he's never found any black American that was 100% of anything or even close to that most black Americans have some type of European cut or some other nationality. Is this 2022 or 1922?
African Americans still pass on predominant African/genetic material. That is literally what I'm physically composed of by majority. A mixed or biracial can not do that.
The average African American is 25% white and they the only ones out here trying to tell biracial people they are not black enough...make it make sense

You added black women who are our skin tone in the video and what if you took a dna test and found out you were no more than biologically half black yourself The whole biracial rabbit hole narrative is dumb because in most cases black biracials have the same skin tone and same experiences that fully black people have including the full blatant racism experiences and systematic racism experiences as well. 90% of black biracials look the same and have the same traumatic experiences socioeconomic experiences and etcetera in which fully black people have. The only difference in most cases are a looser hair texture and they have a white parent or parent of another race. Especially as light skin black women it is even more foolish for us to claim these women as biracial.
@@judywalter9412 you capping for the internet but in real life situations most of these women are seen as black and they would get treated as the everyday black person if they were not rich and famous. You don’t get a brownie or special treatment for being biracial in the real world you will still be treated as black if you look black. Women who are Meghan markle skin tone might be assumed to be white if we didn’t know she has a black mother but most of these other women look like the everyday sista. They are rich and famous but they wouldn’t have any privileges if they weren’t rich and famous. America decides your race based on appearance. It’s doesn’t matter if are biologically 50% black or not if you look like the everyday black person 9 times out of 10 you will experience the same level of racism and discrimination. The proud boys and other racist groups will still call a black biracial a nigger or beat or kill you even if you only have one black parent or not. The cops will still make assumptions about you whether you are full black or a black biracial when you apply for a job and if you check two boxes you can still be pressured to pick one if you look black depending on your employer. If you have even been to the South if you look black you will be treated the same as every other black person unless you are rich or famous. Nobody but people pushing a shallow immature narrative on UA-cam cares if you are technically an black biracial or not. The biracial narrative is null and void if you look black based on American standards. Also a lot of white parents will tell their black kids to identify as black because society will see them that way. The biracial narrative gives black people a false perception of how society will perceive them.99.9% of the time society views and treats black biracials as full black. The biracial narrative doesn’t prepare black people for how they will be treated by the majority of society. Perception is reality. The biracial narrative is harmful to black people because it makes some people think they will be treated fairly in certain situations in which they are treated horrible. The biracial narrative might naively encourage make some black biracials put themselves in dangerous situations where they could be beat or killed by white extremists. It is an disingenuous narrative. 50% blacks usually don’t look any different than the typical light skin black person that has 2 black parents. An abusive man might pick them first to control and victimize to be in an abusive relationship with but there is no privilege in that. 50% blacks are just as likely to be staked raped and have other forms of physical assault, stalked, and other forms of violence committed against them. 50% blacks who sometimes are raised in white communities because they have a white mother are given the same treatment as the everyday black personby society. The white parent might love her black child and treat them greatly but for the most part people that are prejudged towards blacks don’t treat people who are half black any better than those who are full black. The only time blacks receive preferable treatment is if we are rich. We can to disagree tho.
They are what they say they are!! Not what you say they are!! My friend has a black dad and black/white mom. She’s been raised by her mom. White grandparents. Grew up with white cousins. She identifies more with her white side. You don’t get to tell her who she is our what she is!!! Being “full black” doesn’t make you the world’s gatekeeper!
I don't think that's a problem for the context of this video. These people don't care if biracials identify as white. That has nothing to do with the black community.
Black ppl don't get to tell her what she calls herself but we do get to accept who is and isn't black and many of us do not accept her as black. She's going to have to accept that if her dad wanted her to be black, he would have chosen a black woman to be her mother.

Exactly! Most Black Americans have another race in their bloodline. Heck, my Great Great Grandmother had 5 kids by the slave owners. All the women who are displayed as biracial in the vid look like women in my family and we are all Black.
He's classed as blk because NOBODY would ever know looking it him unless he shouted it from the treetops. Even then phenotypically he looked very blk so people aren't even thinking of him as mixed. We seldom hear about the experiences of dark skinned mixed people because they seem to quietly go about their unambiguous looking business, but it is what it is. Most wyte people don't even know Bob Marley was mixed, so James Brown? Yeah.
I'm mixed and I personally think it's weird when biracials get upset that someone thought they were full black. I feel it implies that you are ashamed in some way, like nooo im not black im differnent. No sis. It's OK to inform people of your background, culturally biracials have a unique experience.

@@latoyaparks7249 Don't be obtuse. All women featured have a non-BLack parent. A light-skinned BW's experience is NOT the same as a biracial woman's experience.

To be fair I know women who are BLACK not biracial but they look like some of these women and they get slack for saying they’re just Black and it’s really annoying. I get why this video was made tho. Nothing against biracial women at all but referring to them as bw erases black women and erases biracial women’s other race as well (and some of them don’t like being forced to choose). I think being biracial/ racially ambiguous comes with its own unique set of challenges and privileges and when you call them black it denies this reality.
Some dont like choosing however they should be able to freely say they are black without being attacked bc at the end of the day they are black bc they are half which technically makes them apart of 2 races meaning they can day they are black just like they can say they are asian,hispanic or indian
They are also mixed people you just live in a slave nation so political race topics are categorised differently 😂 lightskin people gave zaddy dna especially if your African American 😂

West African? Where in West Africa? All the 13 countries are very different and acknowledge the difference Black and Bi-racial. Why are you specific with the European country your ancestry hails from, but not the African country one of your parents comes from? This is just a bunch deflection.
if you have a biracial kid - you chose to have a biracial kid then deny an entire HALF OF THEM because .... of what? You chose who to have kids with, accept they're biracial and help them navigate that if you find it so hard to accept
I know people that 2 black parents born in Africa that look as light as them and my family there are mixed race people who are darker than them. So is it because of their tone of skin that you want clarification because this is a war we don’t need. Black people need to come together and if people want to claim heritage of one side of their family let them. Stop forcing block women to be lesser. We all stand together we build up not divide
I have been told this is a facial features matter not skin colour nor hair . Narrow nose and small nostril so if you have it you are mixed . Some people (foreigners) in Europe, and English speaking african not in France have been calling my sister biracial but Whatever. She is black not mixed like the rest of us. I mean we are caribbean and in our case , it's rather our grand fathers. Our parents are black ,it's just a lighskin and dark-skin. We are lighskin. So how can she be biracial, when both of her parents are black, looking like fully black African? Our father whose parents are black and white or biracial (mixed black and white ) and black ,came out looking just like fully African ( his facial features are african) ? Non sense. It's not because you have a narrow nose ,small nostril , thin lips that you are mixed . Her ancestors are Congolese according to history but she may have a set of múltiples of African countries, plus europe plus indian like all Caribbean Latino. By the way ,There are fully black or just african who look just like it and I have been told the fulanis for example. My sister hasn't got parent black and white or Indian and white ( mestizo ) ... Her hair is kinkier than mine so How is she mixed and I am not ?nor is our father ? The three of us are lighskin pecan brown but become fair and we also tan further shade dark. I have mixed hair ,mine is 3c4a and a tiny bit of Amerindian hair while she has kinky hair only and not 4a ,my father same and we all have the same complexion. So how is she mixed ? Why getting upset when caribbean people call themselves mixed despite being fully black physically? Their parents or grand parents or great grand parents aren't. In my case ,I have almost forgotten ,my grand father is amerindian (mixed)but he looks pure Indian, fully Indian with no mixture. Same with some caribbean latinos ,they may look fully african but their family isn't( their grand father,their great grand parents,their parents or one of her parents or grandparents). Recently, I learned that is rather a facial features matter but all my life or people from my area all their life ,we have been told this is a colour matter and hair too not facial features and even when being fair or pecan brown skin but become fair with 3 c hair they keep on calling us fully black Just african because of our facial features. What hipócritas!!! Black people with no mixture can have what society call European facial features( narrow nose, small nostril, thin lips ,straight nose , half lips ) So you mean my sister is from Greece maybe ? Her ancestors ? Just because of her facial features?jajaja how ? She has two black parents looking like african? Jajajaja whatever ! We have more than West Africa in our dna than others. You can have pinocchio nose and be fully black african .

Guess what ? They have been told that they are fully african with no mixture (just because of their facial features) and about me they ( foreigners, English speaker african ...)call me fully black african looking just like Congolese too ( due to my facial features ) but not from my country or homeplace .

Though I do think that some folks are very much jealous of biracials, this is more about the decrease of representation of black American women in the media over the years due to biracials constantly being cast as fully black American women when in the 80s and 90s, this wasn't the case. The tv and music industry was full of gorgeous black American women like Monica, Kelly Rowland, Janelle Monet and Ciara, but this has dwindled down drastically with our representation being replaced by people who are biracial. Personally, I've had people from other communities essentially say that they prefer your aestethic over ours, which, honestly, was racist, but I understood the mindset immediately. They like what looks and us culturally closer to them, but in place of us and therefore will use y'all to substitute us.You're part of our community, but I think y'all need your own spot and not ours. None of this is your fault, though, but it is a problem.

It's just enough for them to tolerate and I don't like it at all. I see the deepest shades of Black women and I have always thought they are gorgeous. So I continue to fight for them. My parents got together and had me. I had no control over that, but I can help fight the injustice that I see and misrepresentation out here.

As a biracial person I know that many biracial people never really feel like they belong to neither both sides. That’s not true. You belong to both. You are both. Be proud of that. Never let people tell you what’s in your blood or not.
You don’t fully belong to both communities, because you arw a mixture of them. So that means you’re neither of them seperately. You belong to other biracial people, who are mixed with the same races as you. As soon as you accept that, life will get easier. Just accept yourself fully

@@TinyyTinkerbellwhat do you mean black is a skin tone💀

Exactly, calling these women Black is disrespectful to their nonBlack parent. I've never understood that, it's so weird.
Thank you so much for this!!!

There are plenty of black woman that are big celebrities it's tricky but think in through.

It's one thing to accept people into your community. it's another thing completely to place them on a pedestal and use them as a false representation of who you are. Even if they're black by some stretch of the imagination, they are not supposed to be the face of black women or representation for us.
Tell that to the white people that control television media and magazines. If you don't want them to be the face of blackness, then come together with your money and create your own networks and magazines and advertising companies.
@@IndigoCosmic When blk people get opportunities to be in charge of casting they express a notable preference for their biracial counterparts. E.g Kenya Barris whose greatest achievement is marrying a biracial woman since he never seems to shut up about it. Instead of making these silly claims you might want to check the imdb credits of many of the castings of "blk" women. Look for the casting director. Plus, yt people giving preference to biracials shouldn't be a shock. You forget that half-yt biracials are also their kids. Of course they'd give them preferential treatment. However the focus is what we accept and praise as representation.
@durranofthetower7306 I'm not shocked that they're given preferential treatment, but it sounds like you forgot that in your original comment. So again, if black women specifically don't like who is being shown in the media representing them then Black Women need to come together with their money and create their own television networks and hire writers, actors and producers that they want to hire and not wait for white people or black men to do it. I mean, in Nigeria, literally, all of Nollywood films have black dark skinned women in them. Black women in America should follow suit instead of always complaining. Sure, there may be some black american women working towards that, but I never hear the ones complaining mention how they donate to these other womens projects. I mean, on Oprah's network, it's pretty much all black women on there. I've never seen a mixed woman as the lead character, so I don't get the constant complaining about these mixed women. If you know you're a black woman, why the need to point out that someone else isn't? I highly doubt a biracial woman calling herself black is going to change the identity in the minds of humans that darker black woman exist. Full blooded African women might as well do the same. If Black americans aren't 100% black because of slavery so then what?
@@IndigoCosmic My point is to call out the self-hate among black people themselves INCLUDING black women. The point is to change the destructive, self-hating mindset we have. A lot of bw have low self-esteem and have settled for living vicariously through biracial women. Black men on the other hand are very particular about their representation. The self-hate that causes them to place mixed people above themselves because of anti-black beauty standards. Black people before colonisation/slavery saw good and beauty in themselves and didn't worship people for being paler. We had lighter skinned people and nobody thought they were pretty just because they were lighter. Plus, there are more brown/darkskinned black people than there are lightskinned black people. I've been to multiple black majority countries to know this. When black people have a self-hating colorist/featurist and texturist mindset it results in them placing people that meet their self-hating standards above themselves. We're literally the only race that loves our biracials more than we love ourselves. Asians and whites don't put hapas above themselves and used them as the face of their community. It's weird. Plus with this mindset even when we have those platforms we end up perpetuating the exact same bs. We've seen countless shows where two black parents miraculously have a black son and mixed daughter. And whole time its a black person(man and woman) that was in charge of casting, the show is produced by a black person etc. Thats not how genetics work and no amount of gaslighting will change the fact that a person with two black parents and a biracial are not the same kind of person. Zazie Beetz was recently cast as stagecoach Mary, a woman phenotypically closer to Viola Davis and Lupit Nyongo. You know who made that happen? The casting director? An unambiguous, darkskinned black woman. So no, us having our own platform is clearly not enough. The mindset of how we perceive ourselves needs to change. Tbh, from looking at your profile pic I don't expect you to understand. People typically do not work to dismantle a system that benefits them. Y'all would rather keep the status quo in place because it benefits you.
@@IndigoCosmic BTW, A black American with a white ancestor from a 100 years ago is not the same as a person whose biological PARENT is non-black. It doesn't justify colorism/texturism/featurism or the hatred of the unambiguous west-central African black phenotype. I see you and others trying to pass off colorism as an act of "kindness" and "inclusion" that the black community extends to its lighter-skinned and biracial counterparts. Its not. Let's not be dense for the sake of proving a point.
And if they consider themselves black, who is anyone to tell them that they are not?
Grow up!
Why they never consider themselves white ? I know why 🧐🧐

@@lockedhoneyprincess7333 Some mixed people are just far too mentally weak to just say that they are mixed.
It's sad to see so many confused mixed people that are super desperate to fit into monoracial identities.
If you're mixed, you're mixed. You are not Mixed Black, Mixed Asian, Mixed White, etc......you're just mixed/biracial/multiracial/etc. I have a hard time understanding why that's so hard for some mixed people to grasp.
Also when they refer to the one drop rule which is their reason why they are black, it is just utterly racist and morally questionable.
They are canceling out parts of their identities and other people's identities. Not to mention the one drop rule is outlawed and it now stands as a socially asinine belief which is why we have ignorant people claiming these women are black.

why tf does this matter 😭😭
edit : i do understand that representation matters , however , you shouldnt put one African American woman down to uplift another. To clarify, I am a 14 year old half Eritrean and half African American. To an ignorant individual, no matter our ethnic identity, we are seen as black and are also racially profiled. The women presented can represent the skin of girls like me that are black but may be mistaken as mixed. it shouldnt matter that they are lighter because its just as problematic as being criticized for being darker. Trust me, if a biracial individual appeared more African American than their other half, op wouldnt have a problem. We are all people of color and get discriminated against regardless of shade
Bc too many ppl or anti-black!! No one wants to be black!! Not even some blk ppl and it’s sad!!
If you have to ask , that’s exactly why it matters.
So a lot of people don't understand why this matters, and it matters because fully black women are being underrepresented in media, music, movies, because biracial women are taking the spot of full black women. For example, instead of casting fully black women in roles made for fully black women, many more biracial women have been casted instead. There is an over-representation of biracial women in black media compared to black women. Even though way more black women exist. It's been this way since slavery, anyone closer to white gets better treatment and opportunities. White supremacy is at the root of colorism.
@@hannahwatkins7992 the common problem is that we’re letting white people define what an ideal black woman is. It should be up to us as a black community to push for better representation for ourselves and not rely on them, instead of telling a group of people what they aren’t.
It matters a lot when you are erasure of representation of the fully black person happens all the time
It’s interesting how if they are beautiful, talented and rich they’re biracial but if they were poor and in the hood they’re just black.
Exactly. We hire many women for our photo shoots and do not discriminate however, we have found this to be the same. Our Head of Marketing has a biracial son whomis very fair, Mariah Carey skin tone, she always said he was biracial etc and to her admission told him not to emphasise he was black. However, he was unfairly profiled and unjustly arrested and subject to a miscarriage of justice for a few months. He was described through the police system as a black make. So like this post said, when successful industry/institutions will say biracial on the flip side if not then they are just black. We feel this post is trying to sow discord amongst black creating a hierarchy like biracial is better.

Black and white equals beauty love both sides equally u wouldn't be u with out one or the other.
Honestly. Y’all shouldn’t have to go though this. If any of us are African Americans. chances are we’re mixed and prolly got an ancestor who was a Scottish goat herder or sumn. Truth is is black folk need to learn our own family history before speaking on someone else’s. With that same logic we can say only Africans truly represent what black is 🥴. Moral of the story is everyone should stay in their lane on that.
Exactly
So what will you say about my full caucasian friend that has Nigerian lineage in him...read more mama
I love when you guys come and speak for yourselves. Don’t ever let anyone force you to choose a side, or allow WS to stop you from acknowledging and loving your non-black side…. especially when you have healthy, intact relationships with your non-black side. These people out here are trying to *DELETE* a part of who you are and that is disgusting. 💕
But you are black sweetie you can’t deny what ppl see you as your ethnicity is biracial but as long as you have melanin in your blood you are black-you can be black but ethnically Filipino you can be Latino but black so black is literally just a color blame society not yourself
We need to not be so traumatized by color. To most people, I look like a "biracial" but both my parents are both black. If you place a biracial and a non-biracial that looks biracial side by side, and not knowing the background, according to this video, both are not black. And a lot of times I "look" more "biracial" than some biracial people but to the white man, we're all still black. I'm saying this to say that color is color whether you're light, dark, or in between.
Thank you this happens to my niece as well
I guess some black people think only black people look like Florida Evans ignorance is bliss in the black community today these women are so stuck on skin color until I just cannot believe this but however what I've learned in my time some people never leave the mindset of the plantation
Me too girl. Many folks will argue me down Ike I’m lying when I tell them that both of my parents are black…..and my grandparents and great grandparents are black. We come in multiple shades in my family.
I agree. Even one example is NLE Choppa. Despite looking biracial his mom is Jamaican and his dad is African-American

I could fit the line up and I’m black. I don’t mind these women being representations, I would just like those of heavy Afro phenotypes to be elevated and shown in a glamorized light as these women have, as often as these women have. Let’s actually celebrate different shades and types of beauty within the black race.

I agree. As a professional musician I've been passed over on different types of gigs for women much less qualified just because they were mixed or looked mixed. It's definately rooted in the notion that the closer you are to white the better you are.

My sisters are biracial and I consider them more beautiful than myself.
ALSO I've seen very beautiful black women, and when I say black, I mean like Danai Gurira black. I don't get this need to stomp on other women. I think some women do that because they are bitter and insecure people.

That doesn't matter, they are not Black. It's dangerous to be dismissive of that fact. We Black people are not dismissive of that fact, so if you're not Black, stay out of it. Black people define Blackness, and non-Blacks should respect that as it's respected with other races that define themselves. Politically, socially, and when it comes to paths of opportunities being paved, there's a difference. It's a shame that it if Black women paved the way for other Black women to have opportunities, and then those opportunities are given away to bi racials who in turn will not support Black people or represent Blackness at all except for the sake of self-advancement and profit and then taking those profits to the white community.

Separatist to say the truth? 🧐🤨 Biracials have been pigeon holed - they aren’t given their own category basically and this is usually in white populated countries. If you have two black parents and share the cultures that come with it, it’s not the same as ppl who might ‘look’ more black than their other genetic lineage. No one’s attacking them but it’s facts
Just truth. We can still love and support one another but we have to be true first to ourselves. Each of us.

Well I guess there are a lot of African Americans that would be considered mixed although they may not look like it..yeah the majority of Africa Americans or "black" people in the USA have some European ancestry.
Baby girl scroll through the comments you are absolutely right all these black women claiming someone to be biracial they are just as mixed as they are. The will established and esteem Professor Henry Louis Gates had a DNA show and he's never found any black American that was 100% of anything or even close to that most black Americans have some type of European cut or some other nationality. Is this 2022 or 1922?
African Americans still pass on predominant African/genetic material. That is literally what I'm physically composed of by majority. A mixed or biracial can not do that.

Women who are Meghan markle skin tone might be assumed to be white if we didn’t know she has a black mother but most of these other women look like the everyday sista. They are rich and famous but they wouldn’t have any privileges if they weren’t rich and famous. America decides your race based on appearance. It’s doesn’t matter if are biologically 50% black or not if you look like the everyday black person 9 times out of 10 you will experience the same level of racism and discrimination. The proud boys and other racist groups will still call a black biracial a nigger or beat or kill you even if you only have one black parent or not. The cops will still make assumptions about you whether you are full black or a black biracial when you apply for a job and if you check two boxes you can still be pressured to pick one if you look black depending on your employer. If you have even been to the South if you look black you will be treated the same as every other black person unless you are rich or famous. Nobody but people pushing a shallow immature narrative on UA-cam cares if you are technically an black biracial or not. The biracial narrative is null and void if you look black based on American standards. Also a lot of white parents will tell their black kids to identify as black because society will see them that way. The biracial narrative gives black people a false perception of how society will perceive them.99.9% of the time society views and treats black biracials as full black. The biracial narrative doesn’t prepare black people for how they will be treated by the majority of society. Perception is reality. The biracial narrative is harmful to black people because it makes some people think they will be treated fairly in certain situations in which they are treated horrible. The biracial narrative might naively encourage make some black biracials put themselves in dangerous situations where they could be beat or killed by white extremists. It is an disingenuous narrative. 50% blacks usually don’t look any different than the typical light skin black person that has 2 black parents. An abusive man might pick them first to control and victimize to be in an abusive relationship with but there is no privilege in that. 50% blacks are just as likely to be staked raped and have other forms of physical assault, stalked, and other forms of violence committed against them. 50% blacks who sometimes are raised in white communities because they have a white mother are given the same treatment as the everyday black personby society. The white parent might love her black child and treat them greatly but for the most part people that are prejudged towards blacks don’t treat people who are half black any better than those who are full black. The only time blacks receive preferable treatment is if we are rich. We can to disagree tho.

You've hit it on the nail why i made this video. Exactly
Some dont like choosing however they should be able to freely say they are black without being attacked bc at the end of the day they are black bc they are half which technically makes them apart of 2 races meaning they can day they are black just like they can say they are asian,hispanic or indian

West African? Where in West Africa? All the 13 countries are very different and acknowledge the difference Black and Bi-racial. Why are you specific with the European country your ancestry hails from, but not the African country one of your parents comes from?
This is just a bunch deflection.
Damn I wonder how long it took to edit it 😂 pressed
True
It’s a slide show dumbass it probs took 3 whole minutes
I’d rather be pressed than a tragic confused biracial 😂
if you have a biracial kid - you chose to have a biracial kid then deny an entire HALF OF THEM because .... of what? You chose who to have kids with, accept they're biracial and help them navigate that if you find it so hard to accept
They are what THEY say they are. Period. Loved no matter what.
So when Rachael dalzell said she was black she was what she said she was. Period 😘
You can still love our biracial people and acknowledge there is a difference, they are still a part of the community.
exactly!!
Iam a lion 🦁
Yeah tell that to our fallen ancestors, millions at the bottom of the sea. Love no matter what...yeah right.
I know people that 2 black parents born in Africa that look as light as them and my family there are mixed race people who are darker than them.
So is it because of their tone of skin that you want clarification because this is a war we don’t need. Black people need to come together and if people want to claim heritage of one side of their family let them. Stop forcing block women to be lesser. We all stand together we build up not divide
They have two different race parents stop it. If they can identify as full black. Then they can also identify as full white ☕
I have been told this is a facial features matter not skin colour nor hair .
Narrow nose and small nostril so if you have it you are mixed . Some people (foreigners) in Europe, and English speaking african not in France have been calling my sister biracial but
Whatever. She is black not mixed like the rest of us. I mean we are caribbean and in our case , it's rather our grand fathers.
Our parents are black ,it's just a lighskin and dark-skin.
We are lighskin.
So how can she be biracial, when both of her parents are black, looking like fully black African?
Our father whose parents are black and white or biracial (mixed black and white ) and black ,came out looking just like fully African ( his facial features are african) ?
Non sense.
It's not because you have a narrow nose ,small nostril , thin lips that you are mixed . Her ancestors are Congolese according to history but she may have a set of múltiples of African countries, plus europe plus indian like all Caribbean Latino.
By the way ,There are fully black or just african who look just like it and I have been told the fulanis for example.
My sister hasn't got parent black and white or Indian and white ( mestizo ) ...
Her hair is kinkier than mine so How is she mixed and I am not ?nor is our father ?
The three of us are lighskin pecan brown but become fair and we also tan further shade dark.
I have mixed hair ,mine is 3c4a and a tiny bit of Amerindian hair while she has kinky hair only and not 4a ,my father same and we all have the same complexion.
So how is she mixed ?
Why getting upset when caribbean people call themselves mixed despite being fully black physically?
Their parents or grand parents or great grand parents aren't.
In my case ,I have almost forgotten ,my grand father is amerindian (mixed)but he looks pure Indian, fully Indian with no mixture.
Same with some caribbean latinos ,they may look fully african but their family isn't( their grand father,their great grand parents,their parents or one of her parents or grandparents).
Recently, I learned that is rather a facial features matter but all my life or people from my area all their life ,we have been told this is a colour matter and hair too not facial features and even when being fair or pecan brown skin but become fair with 3 c hair they keep on calling us fully black Just african because of our facial features.
What hipócritas!!!
Black people with no mixture can have what society call European facial features( narrow nose, small nostril, thin lips ,straight nose , half lips )
So you mean my sister is from Greece maybe ?
Her ancestors ? Just because of her facial features?jajaja how ? She has two black parents looking like african?
Jajajaja whatever !
We have more than West Africa in our dna than others.
You can have pinocchio nose and be fully black african .
@@justme-qp8nz My mum has an ameridian father and her mother black whose parents were black and white.My father white and black or biracial and black . My mum came out as dark skin as wesley snipes black looking like fully black african ,whereas my father pecan brown skin like me and my bignsister ( we tan further black ) but become fair too .
Guess what ? They have been told that they are fully african with no mixture (just because of their facial features) and about me they ( foreigners, English speaker african ...)call me fully black african looking just like Congolese too ( due to my facial features ) but not from my country or homeplace .
I mean, we are african caribbean latinos, we have been told that caribbean is a mixture of amerindian , white ( for some),black and Hindu(for some ) after it's depend on people.
They are also people from Lebanon...
This is not a lie to me, my grand father is amerindian and black or black african, but look just like pure Indian.
My sister is as light as me and as my father ,they said that she is mixed or looks mixed while she isn't( narrow nose,thin lips ).
You can have thin or half lips ,and narrow nose .... straight and small nostril and be fully black african without mixture.
I am so sorry ,my sister isn't mixed .
She can't be more mixed than her father
How comes? So you are telling that my grand father amerindian and my maternal grand mother whose children came out fully black and very dark skin looking like fully black dark skin african ,as dark as Wesley snipes and my lightskin father like me came out looking like fully black but just lighskin ,we become fair too and my mother born to an amerindian and her mother dark skin black looking like Congolese .
I was born to them .I am light so you are telling me
tomorrow, i have my child with someone from home african caribbean Latino looking like fully african ( according to English speaking african ) so my kid may come out amerindian while i am not nor is she my mother .
Jajajaja whatever. No sense !
Black mom and black dad = black baby
Black dad and white mom= biracial
Black dad and Asian mom= biracial
Black dad and Armenian mom= biracial
Make sense? This does not have a thing to do with the fairness or darkness of your skin. Biracial women are a Hollywood preferred phenotype. They are here to erase black women and appropriate black women.
I agree with you. Why are we trying to separate from each other. Its lowkey colorism’s . So if im lighter tone, Im not black?! Stop it
Biracial but still considered and consider myself black❤
Black is always the dominate gene always
Sorry to hear you don’t love your white mom. 😢
still black regardless everyone is beautiful in there own way 😍💟
I GOT to hear that gospel song now!
That is all.
Carry on…..
Me too right.... I think I've heard it before 😅🙏
me too..n put it with this yess!!

Lashun Pace, Act like you know🙏🏾😊
