“You just tell me one Negro girl who's made movies who didn't play a maid or a whore. I don't know any.” - Nina Mae M.
SHE WAS THE EPITOME OF SELF CONFIDENCE! I'VE SEEN PICTURES OF HER AND NEVER HEARD OF HER. I'M IN AWE AND KINDA CHOKING UP. I GOTTA GET A POSTER IN A FRAME OF HER.
@@BeautifulOne-h1xyes!! She was so elegant and graceful 😍😍
And you tell me a white actor who has played, Nelson Mandella , ETA James ect , ect 🤔 😂
Just watched a Netflix t.v series about the postal service in them days what her farther must have gone through was horrendous 😢
Josephine Baker was never excepted in her own country , she wasn't light skined & was small not as pretty as some . She was out of this world talented & the rest of the world 🌎 loved her 😍 🥰 ❤️
I believe Nina. The same loud complaining gossipy nature that is dragging the communitah today… was obviously dragging the community decades ago.
Yup
Black folk live for gossip.
White folks do the same, too.
Same evil dressed in a different decade.
Unfortunately a constant.
You can walk for other women to run and they will be ungrateful towards you.
Even today we are our own worst enemy 😢
That’s the right word WE. The blame doesn’t go to our people alone. A lot of the palm colored people do the devil work All praises to the most high God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the seed of Seth.
white people beef wit each other all the time. lets stop this narrative that Blacks arent allowed to have beef with another Black person
It is so sad😢
And that's the way the government set it up
Facts
Pretty women will always go through this. And it’s usually from not so pretty women. Jealousy.
This love your comment so true
Been going through this all my life. May she rest in peace. 🙏🕊️❤️🌹
I agree !
Sometimes from families too
@@reneebroussard5089I bet you have. I have gone through it as well. Still do at times. It's ridiculous
She was gorgeous.
Oh hell no
yes she was%
@@ivycarrano8207Are you blind or just a hater?
See. Why was she gorgeous? If she was black with big lips and nose she wouldn’t be considered beautiful . Why? Because we have been indoctrinated in the false perception of what is beautiful.
@@SDC1949omg you thinking too deep into it damn
I been learned that your own people is your worst enemy since I was 8 years old back in 1995.
Sis…I felt that
Sorry. We need to continue building ourselves and others in Love and Peace. Let's sow good seeds and reap them. ❤
Danggggg
This is what the white man Taught us . To hate each other fight in kill our own . But my people we don’t have to keep doing their evil 👿 we are a gift from God ok 👌
Girl same here
THE RIGHT GIRL AT THE WRONG TIME😌
I Absolutely agree !
The right girl, the wrong time and the wrong set of people..... both black and white .
@@goldenlady1213 : Keep in mind that all the talk about McKinney facing hate and jealousy is from the narrator's mouth. No proof at all.
Just like Dorothy Dandridge smh
Ppl should never count "your own ppl" as "your own ppl" unless you their on your team and you know them by name. Individuals are just that individuals.
Yes. That's a healthy view.
To be compared to the great Greta Garbo says a lot. Nina was so beautiful and I love her singing.
Envy/jealousy will always look the same no matter when or where and it’s so sad, especially as women that women find it so hard to offer support to other women. I don’t know when we’re gonna get it right….. 💔
❤️🩹 I am here with you.
Somewhere and somehow we allow ourselves to feel and live in this energy.
Well, Lena Horne did not play either a maid or a . . . . , Ruby Dee, Dorothy Dandridge, to name a few.
Melan colity
😢😢 it's sad...
That we expect other races to love us and WE funnystyle on each other...
And it weird bc it's not even over men... (If that makes sense)
😢bc the HUE...
It's not cool...
How do we fix it???
@@kerrypinkston9392 I think it’s too late to fix it and the only thing we could possibly do is raise children that don’t see color and learn love as the first language. Old traditional values are being lost every day Homes, broken families, torn apart, and our culture as a whole is becoming diluted.
There has been a division in the black community for centuries, Field ninja vs House Ninja. Light skin vs dark skin smh. My mother was dark skinned but her sisters brother and mother were extremely light skinned and she always felt less than. Smh 😢 She was indeed beautiful❤❤❤
It’s the opposite for me..all my siblings are brown and darkskin and I’m light..I always felt odd..just wish we stop with who was hurt the most with colorism..
@@KhalessTheTherapistColorism by definition is the discrimination against and systemic oppression of dark skin people.
Light skin people do not face colorism. Bullying, sure. Animosity perhaps. But not colorism.
That's my mom's story too. Her and brother were the dark skinned kids and they were treated differently. My brother and I were treated the same way by her. It's a shame
Did SHE feel less, or was she treated differently?
Zoea Neal Hurston also left New York, moved back to Florida, and was living in a rooming house when she passed. When they cleaned out her room, they started burning her belongings, bc most people in her new environment had no idea of her monumental literary genius.
Thanks for sharing, never knew this and so heartbreaking to hear
Also, it was some of the ‘Harlem Renaissance’ writers who negatively criticized Zora Neale Hurston for the non-sophisticated language that she used for her characters. This, again, could be placed in the ‘It be your own people” file.
@@paulasuniverse5029 But her main enemy was her rich sponcer, who wanted her to stop talking about lynching. She refused, so the put out a lie, saying she had sex with a 14 year old boy, like they fid Michael. But she was there for the fukery. When she realized this was their M.O. to make her behave, she showed them her azz to kiss, and left without so much as an Eff You.
She as an exceptional writer. Read all of her published books, and wouldve loved to read some of the things that didn't get published. What a shame some of her things were burned.
It's really sad, but we still have the same exact issues...Till this day!
Yes! very true
It still upsets me when I see the scene where NINA / Rozellia was slapped by the cop in Pinky.
Nina was highly underrated for absolutely no reason at all. Shame on Ebony and Jet for not recognizing her greatness!!!! She was from S.C. hard to believe that she doesn't have any relatives available to acknowledge her. May this Queen rest in peace.
Another great story. I have biracial children, mixed racial, actually. I told my daughter to watch your channel. You share so much history people have no idea about. I appreciate what you do.
But nina mae wasn't biracial.
KA you're absolutely correct...the BC did not play when it came to representation and imagery in those days. And the haters will always hate no matter the era and her skin was her sin times two: Blk and LS and it hasn't changed much today. J. Baker had so much hate from her own, it caused her to make the decision to move and work in Paris. Nina Mae and so many others of that time were definitely UNSUNG.
It’s not hate to point out that all major black stars in that age were light skin.
@@annettewilcox5413 I responded to KA. She mentioned the truth of the opposition these women faced. BUT absolutely *NOT* all...but by all means, present your list and guaranteed mine will prove at least equal to just the opposite. Keep in mind we're talking the 30's to post WW2 (45). Also, the question then as is today, *who owns the industry?* The vitriol s/b directed at the controllers not the talent who couldn't control their own DNA but despite it, held the door open for others to follow.
@@wildwaning9427not all , but as Karine stated, it was in fact noted that the lighter the skin the better it was for them to push a starlet, let’s not change the narrative because it’s uncomfortable.
@@Fatima-kp8hi The only ones changing the narrative were you and the other poster and trust, I am in no ways uncomfortable so let's first have a discord about my *original* post. Is that what you're responding to, or are you posting in defense of @annettewilcox? My *original* post *specifically* addressed what KA clearly stated about those LS actresses that received a great deal of hate. Are you pissed because I addressed that topic?
She spoke on it and I spoke TO it. The person who responded to me, like yourself, mentioned something that was *unrelated* to my post. Now I'll repeat and clarify since you obviously also strayed from my specific points. Again, WHO owned/owns the studios? *To address YOUR point* whose decision was it to push the LS actresses? And again, why did the studios push them? And back to my point: did it and does it *justify* hating these women for what the studios did and/or their DNA? The anger and bitterness was and is *mis-directed.*
If you wanna be pissed, put on your BIG britches and go after those who were/are in control...but that would take courage wouldn't it?
They probably didn’t know what ‘social anxiety’ or introvert personality was back then generally.🤷🏽♀️
Quite true
THIS comment!!! ☝🏾🙌🏾💯💯💯💯
Still to this day ah
She's absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for the documentary Karine
Yes she is!! Thank you for watching ❤❤
Nina Mae McKinney fully embodied Hollywood glamour, and was tragically RIPPED OFF of the accolades and stardom due her. This is still happening in 2024. My bio father was Indigenous American, so I'm half Indigenous half white. My heart felt literally ripped right out of my chest when Lily Gladstone was likewise RIPPED OFF of receiving her very well earned Oscar at the Academy Awards for her phenomenal performance in Killers Of The Flower Moon. PoC, be we Black, Indigenous, etc. deserve so much more positive recognition for the talent, energy, and beauty in every way, that our People bring to the Silver Screen.
It's time for our own Hollywood and own Oscars.
@@williamj.dovejr.8613long overdue! Why are we integrated?!
especially for traumatic roles, such as lily played, that brought up a lot of trauma amidst the celebration of her accolades. she should've won.
@@williamj.dovejr.8613 I believe the African-American community has been doing that with "The NAACP Image Awards" for several years now. While moving on to creating "The Grio Awards" that were recently created by billionaire Byron Allen, while recognizing people of color for their accomplishments in all walks of life.
@nancytipton7602, I couldn't agree with you more regarding the other awards that were won by Lily Gladstone during the course of award season. I'm part Navajo myself & recently saw a media piece on how Native-Americans have been living without electricity in the state of Nevada over the years. While power lines run overhead to provide electricity to other homes in the process. It shows how people of color are really provided for during the country's 247 years of existence.
Tina Turner had a lot to say about the way she was treated. Not good. - Nina was gorgeous. That always inspires envy :(
@cinnamongirl5410, I believe the late Ms. Tina Turner did experience a turn for the better while becoming "The Queen of Rock & Roll" during her crossover from Rhythm & Blues/Soul music to Rock & Roll & Pop music starting back in the 1980's.
Ike beat her and mind controlled Tina from a young age.
@@ivycarrano8207Ike Turner did not meet her when she was a little girl, stop getting your information from the movies because the movie had it all wrong.
As a matter of fact Tina Turner actually had a relationship with one of Ike band members and had a baby by him she was a full grown woman before she was with Ike
@@ivycarrano8207stop with the lies read her biography and yt judge Joe brown.
@@bobbyschannel349She was a teen mom and a teen when she met Ike.
Can we just shout out Karine for how frequently she uploads, yet *never* sacrificing quality. Shes like my personal PBS station I swear! ❤️❤️🙏
I love when you bring people little known by the vast majority. At least for myself, it’s my first time that I come across her. ❤
Yes it's so true. Being that my mom's side of the family is Creole culture from New Orleans, and I know my dad has some type of European not sure, but I find myself kind of grew up dealing with the same issues that Nina dealt with. Not being accepted in some of my own circles, and thinking I thought I was better when that was far from the truth😢. I love being a black American, and I think due to some of our colorism issues, it causes this type of hate behavior from our own people, and it sad..
Hi, I’m sorry you had to go through that stupid slave mentality colorism stuff. But when people say you think you are better, and that’s not how you are at all, then it’s really them who think you are better than them. So sad because black is black, rather light, dark and in between, hating someone because of their skin color is very ignorant not matter what the race is. ❤ God Bless u
@@tammi67able So true, thanks so much for your kind words. It's very ignorant, the Lord created us all to have different beautiful shades, and it sad when we get that from anyone, let alone our own people. I will not make that change who I am and who got created me to, God bless you too! 🙏🏽💜
@@mikoc7633 you’re welcome and amen to that . Beautiful as he made you and all of his creations. God bless you
I have mixed feelings about your comments, considering my people on both side are Nola/Louisiana Creoles. Maybe it all depends on the different decades.
@@ChassityNOubre_88 Yes I shared my experience (I'm 48 Gen X), I didn't say that was everybody's. I just simply was stating I relate to what happened to Nina is all. I am glad you did not have the same experiences and I didn't say it was all the time. I just have had instances where this happened to me, wasn't throughout my whole life experience, just some instances. 🙏🏽💜
I never heard of her but she looks like Betty boop
Yes, I agree she does resemble Betty Boop. Just think there was no plastic surgery back then. All naturale
Yeah she sure do look like Betty Boo.
Yes, she does. Not surprising since Betty Boop was based upon a black woman.
Betty Boop was based on a black female.
@@greenbyrd3665 I never knew that - thanks!! "Esther Lee "Baby Esther" Jones, a Black Chicago woman and well-known singer of the 1920s, is the initial inspiration for the cartoon character, Betty Boop, who first appeared in the 1930."
What a talented giant! She deserves recognition!
I've never heard of her but she was so beautiful and talented! Thank you for doing a segment on her. Nina Mae McKinney here are your flowers 🎉🎉🎉🎉
That’s real beauty..unlike the fake esthetic that’s being shoved in our faces now
What is the real beauty? European features. How many dark skinned women that you can say back then were considered real beauty.
She was TRULY STUNNING!
@@cynthiamitchell5748Here comes a hater
@@LifeIsNotoriousNo, someone being straight up and honest. You, on the other hand, are just of cliches.
In some of these images she reminds me of Debbie Allen.
Spot on
Facts
NICE! What a STUNNER! Thank you for enlightening us about this PIONEER! People should know more about the GREAT Nina Mae McKinney. ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching 🤍🤍
Good on you for including this legend to your list of old hollywood
Wow hoop earrings been around forever. I love them 💥💕
Since the Bible days
@kayshawnsimmons558what I thought they came about in the 80s and 90s. Saying their crica biblical is quite a statement.
@@user-wi6cz4hh5bMy statement It's true tho 💯
Wings, makeup and eyelashes too. I love it.
Easiest shape
Nina was stunning. 💐🤍💐🤍💐
🤍🤍🤍
Wow I'm 50 years old and never heard of her, I love your channel
Thank you for creating this and honouring her memory. I had never heard of Nina Mae before, what a beautiful and talented lady.
Ninjas were just jealous, I went through the same thing, so I stopped giving ninjas a chance.SMH
I feel you, big time.❤
Your ignorance is showing
@@angelnava6217were you the one who wasn’t given a chance jealous one?
Your comment alone is racist low key calling black people the N-word
@@angelnava6217It's not ignorance its just a fact.
She was a lovely woman. Truthfully l had never heard of her. It seems to me she did not pull away from her community. Her commiunity pulled away from her. The most beautiful black woman l have ever seen was Lena Horne. I would love to hear more about her.
She already made a video about her
Nina was wonderful!!! 💐🌸💮🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷She deserves all the flowers!
She is gorgeous. And I bet a great versatile actress if mainstream Hollywood gave her a chance.
Wow she is beautiful 😭
Yep it do be your own people! Girl I love your channel!❤
The way I look at it is someone has to pave the way and she was one of the icons that did.
Thank you for posting this. Hurts my heart how we treat each other!!
I am so happy you covered Nina. I loved the movie “Hallelujah” because of her
ME TOO. I have it on VHS.
Her look is a whole vibe 💛
They accept her because of her features she has white features that’s why Rosa park was used for a political reasons because she was acceptable to whites lena horne and others where considered white passing back then if you where more closer looking to whites you where more acceptable which that is still today especially in Hollywood.
They have fine features because their not from Africa.
So true!
Yep and it’s still the same today.
Wow. Never heard of her but saw the video pop up on my timeline. She was definitely beautiful!! 🥹😍
💐💐💐💐💐 Definitely deserving.
Thank you Karine for all the light you shine on the ones who were eclipsed! ❤
Man she was beautiful black beauty hit different back in the days wow❤❤❤❤
Because it was actually beautiful back then! I don't know what the hell these things are walking around nowadays but it ain't black beauty! 🤦🏽♀️
@@AnAdorableWombat1Says a “Wombat”. Go bury yourself back underground.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Top three actresses who could’ve played an biopic on her, Ann Marie Johnson (I’m gonna get you sucka), Raven Simone, or Lisa Raye (if she had more acting classes)
Beautiful lady.❤Thank you Karine for shining your spotlight on Nina.🌻
She’s way prettier than Greta Garbo imo.
Agreed. Garbo wasn't the least bit attractive.
Indeed
l agree
Beyond. She was a beauty.
Oh yes definitely
Sometimes is your own people that try to keep you down.
Black and whites are jealous of mixed ace people
Damn, she caught hell from both sides. If you're black, automatically things wii be more complicated. So sad, being a trail blazer is hard work.
I remember seeing Nina in King Vidor's 1929 film, Halleluia. She was only 16 years old and portrayed one of the earliest Black vamps on the Silver Screen. For a while, it appeared that she was destined to maintain a foothold in the Golden Age of filmmaking as one of the first, glamorized black actresses but it was not to be. Like Lena, Eartha, and Dorothy Dandridge, she would soon find out that Hollywood during that era was not invested in enabling a beautiful black actress to upstage her White female counterparts. By 1949, she appeared in her last recorded film Pinky with Jean Crain, and lost her youthful looks. No longer was she the vivacious pixie as was displayed in her film debut, Halleluia.
💐💐💐💐 she deserves more 🥲
I would just like to comment that you have realy given me an in sight into understanding the life of the more famous African Americans , you articulate yourself so well it is such joy to listen to your channel. Thankyou so much.
Melbourne Australia
She was simply gorgeous!!❤
Flowers 💐 flowers 🌸 🌺 flowers 🌸 to Ms Nina Mays McKinney 🌺💐🌸💕🙏🏽🌺 Rest in Peace Nina 🙏🏽💕💕
I think you’ll end up associating with people doing the same things you are. Also, people who can afford to go the places you can, buy the things you can. People who won’t begrudge your success, because they’re successful. Even though her crowd was mostly white, she was their equal.🌹🌸💐🌷🌻🥀
Yep
That’s exactly what I thought too. As an artist myself you just associate with other artist or people who are involved with it as a community, nothing to do with anything else. You just have like minds and connect of that level.
Equals accept your Status no matter what. Ask JZ. Wealthy people attract each the money follows them, it's the Mindset. Jealous Narcissist attracts the same it's a Mindset.
@@aldnor129 Yes. Color probably wasn’t a consideration. They had things in common.
Dave Ramsey among other financial personalities insist ; You are the sub total of the 5 people you are surrounded by at all Times. If they are failed people you too, fat lazy cheap proud?? Happy Diligent Caring Honest Rich Generous! Like the Super-Solider Serum it makes you More of what you ARE. Evil= WORSE Good= Better.
Def not my place to comment on your question but I'm glad she was able to open doors and represent the community in movies instead of it being wte ppl in caricature black face ...
❤
Thank you Karine, for bringing these wonderful actresses to light for us!!! Thank you so much!!!!❤❤❤❤
She was very beautiful and talented flowers for her rest in peace
Thank you it’s great to know more about our people that made it but didn’t get the flowers they deserved. She would be proud of this deliverance ❤
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 for Nina Mae Mckinney
I grew up watching old movies- my parents were both late in life “surprise” babies, so my aunts, uncles, and grandparents were older than most of my peers. I remember seeing Nina Mae in those movies and thinking she was so beautiful- those eyes- but never knew her name. Thanks for sharing her story. It brought back lots of memories from my childhood. More importantly, it’s an impactful lesson regarding people and societal structure. I rarely comment, but I do very much enjoy your content.
With institutionalized racism at every level, which was blatant, and fewer job opportunities, I can’t put the blame only on those from ‘our community’, given the circumstances.
In this case (and others) yes you can.
Love to learn about my people who contributed in the entertainment business that don't get the recognition they deserve. Thanks for recognizing them and giving us their story🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤
Oh wow. She is absolutely stunning. Something about her eyes is mesmerizing. What a beautiful woman. Thanks for the video about her. I had never heard of her before.
I never knew about Nina, thank you for sharing the information
She was stunning ❤
Another heartbreaking story of a very beautiful and talented lady who didn’t get the chances she deserved just because of the shade of her skin.
I've never seen her! What a beauty!!! Thank you! By the way, you are very charming. I love your style!
Thank you for researching and doing a video on this amazing woman.
I love your channel. I’m always learning about these amazing people in history. Thank you, Ms. Karine! You’re a true 💎 gem.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s sad how all the talented black entertainers had to leave America to be treated like the stars they were. They were welcomed in other countries but not their own. That is really sad.
💐 She was a dynamic and gorgeous actress. Bravo for her artistic legacy!
Wow she's beautiful ❤️
Palladium...accent on the 2nd syllable, the "ay"
Real Gemini ♊ Energy. 😋
She's not a gemini she's an akbal it means night darkness and house and it's a water sign
Yes. Gemini. Have. Gifts talents charm that's. Off. The. Chains
"Hallelujah" sounds very much like Joan Crawford in "Rain"🤔
Beautiful Woman. Incredibly Talented 🌺🌼🌹💐❗And I agree with you totally Karine❗
I was expecting more with this title (her own people?). I am happy for this actress that she was able to do what she could with her small time in the business. She died at a time when she was not remembered. This is how it is when you were not a big actress.
Just think... She started bike tricks .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes a true talent ❤❤❤
Very, Very Good and Thank You for introducing Nina Mae McKinney - your candid optimism of this talented and beautiful black actress and singer. Regardless, her mark was made.❣❣
I can’t believe I’d never heard of this woman until now. What an amazing talent. ❤❤❤
I have went through this all my life
Thank YOU. Nina was absolutely BEAUTIFUL !!! I LOVE this WOMAN. SHE is AMAZING !! Great Job Karine !! Can u Do Tammi Terrell from MOTOWN ?
I believe her because I have seen firsthand how your own people can turn on you and accuse you of things due to jealousy and envy.
Plz yall are pathetic
Same thing happening today 😢
Thank you! More stories need to be made about the Mckinney family!
Willie Lynch letter is something serious... Black people still divided onl color,sizes, hair texture etcetera Lord help us
He has Christ was given us because we Are Loss without HIM and our Characters will Never improve.
Thank you for bringing this story of this beautiful talented successful woman. I believe her also. The hateration is such a shame.
Her biopic is definitely a role for Lisa Rey.
Excellent program and thanks for letting us know about the forgotten and unsung in the last century
WOW, have you found a lane to yourself. EXCELLENT work! 💋
That was her in that iconic scene I had no idea! She really is a GREAT actress I am going to view this film.
Thank you for another great video.❤
Women like Nina made movies like Hidden Figures possible. She's lovely and deserves to be celebrated.
What a stunning woman!!!!
Karine, thank you so much for introducing me and others like me to the exceptional talent and beauty of the men and women of the black race that came before me but for reasons that only God knows have been deliberately erased from history when others who had nowhere near the gifts that these people had are pushed down our throats as role models worthy of being praised and remembered. It’s up to people like you to keep our history alive and shared so that it is not lost to time like so much of our history has been. God bless you Karine.❤
