---------------------
Mathew Knowles spoke to VladTV about his new book, Racism From the Eyes of a Child, where he spoke about dating either light skinned women or white women exclusively. He went on to speak about how he thought Tina was white when he first saw her, but later realized that she was a conscious black woman.
Moving along, Mathew spoke about Kelly Rowland living with his family for 8 years and also about the racism he witnessed in the music industry, including favoritism toward lighter skinned artists. To hear more, hit the above clip. - Розваги

Best vlad interview!
why is he tryna discredit Farrah Franklin when she was light as beyonce...hypocrite! u made a good point.. guess she wont be included in the long awaited reunion
djvlad But most black Americans are on the ligher side so obviously ypu will see a larger influs of ligher black people..Black Americans are trained to think everything as some racial quotations .If you are talented,these PEOPLe dont care about your colour. ,all they care about is how much you can make dem.
djvlad this dude is just spooky af LOL

LIGHTSKIN woman are in fact hired more im Hollywood. Idk why people are acting as if colorism does not exist
IKR!! Like, why??? 🤷🏾♀️ Steups!
HOLLYWEIRD IS DEMONIC AND SATANIC
@@Rhtjr-je2li umm that's famous and rich? I cant but hey if that's the lie they want to tell they can tell it.
@@shalanathomas7751 The people PRETENDING it doesn't exist are either light skinded, dating a light skin, or a non-black woman with the hopes of having a mixed baby so THEY can have special privileges... Now to all my challengers (deflectorz) come get some 😂
@@1stone379 lol yup
Wish more black ppl would admit to how they perpetuate colorism instead of denying that they do and hiding behind "preferences".
Me too. It is what it is. Just own up to it.
Exactly
Like really tho, why they don't wanna talk about why he only date white women if he so woke.
Preachhhh
It's so pathetic how they wear these ridiculous long wigs
and keep flipping it like it's their own,love the skin you were
born in, black or white or in-between,work with what you
have and be your best self
Til this day, light skinned women are displayed more on tv and everywhere than dark skinned women
And who is putting them on t.v? Whites. Who think light skinned/half white people are beautiful? Whites. Its whites, & other races putting them on. So why are y'all mad at us when , when it's another form of slavery.
But black created tv shows/films are often guilty of the same casting.
Yeah they are in domestic violence as well
Yes colorism is so real
@@scarlethottie3955 whites and black men
He’s speaking the truth. Take hip hop videos for example. 20 years ago, the vast majority of the girls in Hip Hop videos were black. Now most of the girls in hip hop videos are not black.
nmorgan24 Yea now you only see white girls or Mix girls. Unsigned artist might have darkskin girls in their videos on WSHH
nmorgan24 We made it that way!!
very true
He said he dated not that he dates, the women he had a baby with outside of his marriage is a darkskinned female
@@DrLove-vy4so True. Folks over here arguing about how dark skinned women aren't in the videos anymore. Those videos are nothing to be proud of and if they truly care about the representation of their image, they wouldn't even want to be associated with that. But it seems like deep down, they're biggest issue is not being included, even if it's being included in f*ckery.
I remember this being a major topic when Alicia Keys was winning everything against India Arie.
Sorry loved India ..but Alicia Keys 1st album gold, til this day a classic.
But that wasnt really fair to say then bc although Inda should have got something, Alicias first album sold 10 million.
Music is a business,if you don't have a strong marketing team , pushing your brand, you will not grow much. Aly K has a good team& her music is equally good.
Same can be said for Sade ,she could be a billionaire by now but her team isn't pushing her brand like Beyonce,Nicki , Rihanna , Kardashian s etc it's all ABT business positioning,image presentation & how your 🐄 is milked.
They're both mediocre. Alicia is more beautiful, though. India is too big and masculine.
Kory Green You are clearly out of your mind. There is NOTHING mediocre about India Arie. A.Keys on her best day could never!!!!! Then to add insult to injury you call her big and manly?! Who raised you??? I can't stand men like you. She's absolutely beautiful. The only reason A.Keys got all of those wins was because she is mixed/very fair in complexion. If India Arire was mixed woman A.Keys wouldn't have won a damn thing.TFOH
so Amara La Negra was right about colorism
Oh, yes. And it's in EVERY culture.
Of course she was!!!!
Yes indeed
Was it hard to believe her? I mean, it's always been obvious- like 3LW
Yes.....
Y’all are very emotional . He has a huge point , whether you experience it or not.
True. We just don't like to be honest with ourselves.
Correct!
Do you have ig or snap
It's not about being emotional, it's about him perpetuating a state of mind that has been held against us black, dark skinned people.
I mean look at that song Beyonce has out now, "brown skin girl"that is an insult to dark skin women. It takes a light skin, bleach blonde haired, European featured woman to tell brown skin women your beautiful. Fuck! outta here. We know we're beautiful, we've always been beautiful and will remain to be beautiful with or without anyone's approval.
People wake up! Really look at what people are showing you.
I'm soooo glad blacks are speaking the truth on light vs dark skinned mainstream access

I think you could benefit from this. I hope it helps.

Very good article.... I clicked the link....
You people disagreeing with him... he has worked inside these major record labels and has seen with his own eyes how they operate. Like he said... you people are reacting emotionally... he’s talking facts based off stats. And he did say there are always exceptions.
nmorgan24, they're just mad because the rug has FINALLY been lifted on some of their favorite high yellow "artists." They don't wanna believe that Santa Claus ain't real.
Then explain Dianne Ross, Aretha, Toni Braxton, Lauren Hill, Whitney Houston. None of them are redbone yet had just as much success if not more than his daughter. Matthew is a scumbag that muscled his way in to managing Destiny's Child by threatening to take his daughter out of the group after another manager did all the leg work and secured them a record deal. Matter of fact... He blew their first record deal and got the group dropped.
Fuck off
@@20ice47 - Then explain Mary J. Blige, Tracy Chapman and Anita Baker's great sucess. B*tch bye! 🙋✌
@@20ice47 - I listed other people that were not discovered by Diddy. What's your explanation for them since the industry is so color struck?
Unfortunately, this is real talk.

No its not.
100%
+wallis victor, So true and he Did. And Beyonce said he was Not Joe Jackson. She was Right, Mathew was Worse, with his 2 babies compared to Joe's one not by his wife!!!
@@wallisvictor9688 wow . . .
He’s right and he should say it. I really respect the fact that Matthew also acknowledges he specifically dated white and light/white passing women bc of his own colorist preferences instilled by his mother. It’s not easy to admit that let alone actively unlearn it.
Jay Bee I swear some of these niggaz on here in this comment section don’t even listen to a fucking word he was saying. They just read the title and went from there!!
@@pauloskidane2819 they’re mad bc they know they’re been called out
People use emotion way more than logic. He’s speaking facts!
People may not like him, but he made Beyonce if it was not for him there would be not Beyonce. He trained her on how to sing while running that's why she's able to perform like she does without running out of breath and amongst other things. I have mad respect for Mr. Knowles
Silly
@T La My family from the Caribbean says "high" colour too. It's pervasive
In the USA "high-yellow" was said.
He was a typical Black man who loved & adored high-yellow girls.

2002 GRAMMYS India Arie vs Alicia Keys. India was nominated for 7....Alicia for 6. Keys won 5 of the 6 and the very TALENTED Arie won ZERO.
And that's a fuckin shame cause India taught me LOVE
@@blackmegriffin9240 your name, lol!!!!
Stop blaming Alicia Keys. Dang
2 diff albums. Wont lie. I skipped through some India so mg s never Alicia songs. I think she earned it
ST 23 I hate this argument. Alicia wasn't just up against India In any of the categories she won. That was a shame India didn't win but that year was tough.
You guys are naming brown and dark skinned women in the music industry but as far as longevity and advertisement goes lighter skinned black women have more airplay, sponsorship, etc. Even if they're mediocre.
Yup!
Definitely not true there are a few light skin female music artists who had a short window of success and they weren't mediocre.
pink1237480 yes Amerie was not mediocre and was very talented (still is)! I have her on my playlist. It’ll always be outliers in conversations surrounding colorism in the music industry for various reasons outside of skin complexion. However, I am discussing the broader issue of how there are more short lived darker skinned artists compered to lighter and fair skin artists; women to be more specific and as he named in the video. That’s not to say that most fair and light skinned women aren’t talented because Amerie, Mariah Carey, and Amel Larrieux are very talented! Although even those artist can recognize their privilege and advantage over artists with darker skin and Afrocentric features. People gaslight this idea and don’t like to call a spade a ♠️ when this issue spans beyond the music industry and is perpetrated in every community across the globe.
@@pink1237480 aka Tinashe for example
Saweetie vs. Normani
I know that a lot of people hate Mathew but if you’re not going to do the research on what he’s saying, how is he wrong???
Alex Cross I don't think they're listening to the interview, man. They're responding to the title of the video. He's basically calling the industry out for what they are...
He spoke facts here
If he knew how the industry was and how bad it was to his race why did he put his daughter through it?
Yes. Where’s the lie??
It would’ve been good for him, knowing this as an insider, to help change the game a bit. In all fairness, he did add Kelly to the group. But just speak out on it more, sign some dark skin artists.. that would help.
How can he complain about colorism in the music industry and in the same breath speak on how he only dated white or fair skinned women? Smh
T Rowell He said his mother raised him to not bring a dark woman to her house and most boys want to Please Moma at all times
Theres a difference between colorism and preference
*VioletsinBloom * Not when you base your preference off of color.😂😂😂😂You light skin so I can see why you don’t want to believe
T Rowell 💯
Lets stop HIGH EXPECTATIONS from small individuals that sounds dumb. Theres a difference between preference and colorism. Preference can be based on color just like it can be based on weight, eye color, SHAPE, hair and race. Its only colorist if theyre doing it for a negative specific reason such as wanting lighter kids or they think lightskin is superior and etc. If a man has a preference for big booties thats fine but if he has a preference for light skin thats colorist. So what if he prefers "chocolate" women...is that colorist too?? or is it only colorist when light skin is preferred??u make absolutely no sense
*_Great interview!!! Colorism is huge in the entertainment Latino community too!!!_*
Anna Lexi It’s always sad to see Dominicans, Brazilians & Puerto Rican’s deny their African ancestry smh 😔🤦🏾♂️
Anna Lexi it is and I’m glad that amara la negra brought awareness to the situation at hand. And she’s badddd than a motherfucka!!😂😂😍
FvckWitDreDay millions of Brazilians don't have any African ancestry at all. Especially in southern Brazilian.
Anna Lexi well yeah, it’s just not in the USA

He made Michelle tan so Beyonce was the lightest
no Farrah
Kelly Rowland is still far more beautiful than Beyonce everyone knows that.
Also kelly
Hes such an ugly person
@@poodle3927 Lmaooo who tf is everyone
I am Brown skinned woman AND I HAVE NEVER FELT INFERIOR TO A LIGHTSKIN BLACK WOMAN AND NEVER WILL...if I want it i will get it
This is an emotionally charged reply 🤷🏾♀️
@@marztitus3472 how so
That doesn't mean colorism exist baby
🙌🏾
But you're not dark. You in the middle. You still will get accepted and get some privileges over a darker toned woman.
I'll admit he's right about light skinned women
Jamal Vines about pushing light skinned women in music. (Acting to a lesser degree)
Jamal Vines I'm not gonna say they better. (I am light skinned myself). There's talent all around but the media or labels make it an agenda to push/promote certain artists.
Look at a Drake and a Meek Mill who they push more
Jamal Vines so what light skinned hurt you to make u feel that way
Those are two different type of artists, light skinned men don't get pushed more than dark skinned men loool dark skin male tears
He aint lying
He actually is lying. Many darker skinned women have hit the charts. Whitney Huston wasn't light skinned, neither was Brandy, nor Nicki Minaj, nor SZA.
Suede Component Your idea of what's considered dark skinned is ridiculously dumb, and just not correct.
Suede Component but you dont see those dark skinned women selling out of Madison Square Garden like white or light skin women, now do you? Nicki Minaj is Light skin btw.
Jamal Vines of course but thats not what we talking about
Damn right he ain’t lying that shit right in our faces
Show black guys a pic of a fine light skin woman and then 30 min later show him a pic of that same woman with dark skin and he will say she ugly
real shit
Yup
Or in reverse, show him a dark skinned woman first, and then come back with the same girl just lighter and the result is the same
@Yikes yes it is. Now don't get me wrong, I like a light skin woman sometimes. But I don't necessarily have a preference. And I dang sure will take me a dark-skinned woman any day of the week. It's all beauty to me
Not just black guys, men in general are very racist and colourist which is why I never understand why black girls do the most for these cretins
Mathew knowles is a genius when it come to marketing and media. Dude know what he doing.
I agree, he was a Genius! Beyonce is Not only Light-skinned, but she is VERY Talented!!! Her Singing, and Dancing are "Off the Charts"! Beyonce, is FANTASTIC!!!
She's a true modern times superstar.
Although she could've chosen a better partner than Jay-Z.
Yes he MADE BEYONCE
@@tracydavis8982 she's definitely not a SINGER!
@@bonnievannor2208, that's your damn opinion!!!! Beyonce', is a Very Good Singer!!!!! She is the most talented Singer, of her Generation!!! So, Shut the Hell up, and DO NOT REPLY TO ME AGAIN!!!!!
Now this makes me really believe Farrah when she said all the other girls had to tan and get darker besides Beyoncé. They were prepping Beyoncé’s solo career
He isn’t lying 🤥. People just can’t handle the truth about colorism and racism. This is very pronounced when talking about women in the entertainment field.
And while black men are often colorist, white people also generally prefer light and bright.
Mary Smith you are 💯 percent right.
Yup!!!
Hes not lying, but he should also not complain about racism in the same breath as him admitting hes racist himself
@@eliteeldergoth7159 he is a colorist , not a racist but your point is well taken. He complains about racism in the industry that his colorism helps promote.
Attention: HE SAID TOP 40 POP CHARTS IN THE LAST 15 YEARS!!!! Thank you.
Whitney Houston was not light skin, she may have been edited to look lighter but she was definitely not physically light skin
Agreed watch star spangled banner also many singers in the 60s and up were very dark and had the charts on lock
Ali B. Barbie but she wasn’t dark either there is a difference
That’s what Mathew said she was made to look lighter with lighting
That's what he said, "There are EXCEPTIONS."
True, but feature wise, she falls into that "category". Slim nose, thin lips, and in heavy lighting she appears light.
Based on this interview, it almost seem like he knew his daughter would be the breakout star because of her complexion. Wondering was this the intention from the beginning.
He is a self hating blackman but what he is saying about the record industry, I believe him.
why is he hating...its a reality..at some point many choose whether to struggle or to go for what makes life easier ..survival.
Honestly lets think about one of the best TV show sitcom of all time Martin. As a kid even now, I had a crush on Pam more than Gina. I always thought Pam was 10x hotter than Gina from her face to her body or it just me.
trueGrizzlesFAN22 lol everyone thinks pam is hotter, its a well known fact at this point lol
true but you know back then a lot of people thought gina was better looking even the producer base on skin complexion. Not saying gina was ugly but pam was better looking to me... I just hate this color battle no need for it but Hollywood will not let it died .
You not bugging Pam had a phat wagon on her
She was, but colorism. 🤷🏾♀️
I never could get into that show though. The joke was always on Pam and I liked her. I was super young though, so might not have understood enough either.
@pretty mocha...ultimately the joke was on them because Pam (Tichina Arnold) has stayed consistently working in the industry. Tisha Campbell - not so much. Maybe talent is the exception Matthew was speaking of
he is absolutely correct. It took lil Wayne Years to be recognized. Drake literally had one mixtape and was shot out of a cannon to the top 40 Charts.
Damn never thought about that.
Dam I didn’t think of it like that your absolutely right ❤
Kelling Rowling had 2 things going against her in this new music industry paradigm, because I can remember groups like SWV, etc. with all dark skinned women who were very successful.
1) Nepotism: it is never a good idea to be in a group where one of the group member's parents is a manager of said group. No doubt Mathew took care of promoting and setting up Beyonce as a priority over Kelly.
2) Colorism
FULLY AGREE, ALSO IN THEIR EARLIER YEARS KELLY HAD A BETTER VOICE THEN BEYONCE. BEYONCE HAD TO HAD EXTENSIVE VOCAL TRAINING , SHE SOUNDS DIFF
@@freefashow2920 please stop lying Kelly was never seeing Beyoncé vocally
@@nishafrinchell4060 In my opinion Kelly sounded better, Beyonce's voice wasnt booming when they were young...all 4 destiny child members had nice, basic voices....
@@freefashow2920"Beyoncé was the only one that came with this phenomenal voice. Kelly's voice was little more than air." - David Lee Brewer, Destiny's Child's vocal coach
Kelly's voice wasn't booming AT ALL.
Kelly should have gone to Europe and stayed there
That might be mostly today but darker women made it back in the day because the people took talent more seriously then.
Yes they did
Thank God this light skinned standard wasn't the standard back in the day. We wouldn't have legends like Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight , Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle Natalie Cole etc. I was about your voice not your looks.
Also you didn't know where anybody look like. I am a product of the '60s and even before that, they didn't have all the charts like they do now. They didn't have all of those award shows like they do now. They also will put white women on the album cover of a black person who was singing. I know most of you all are not familiar with Dionne Warwick but she sang like a white woman and the orchestration behind her was more symphonic than soulful. She was the first black woman to win in the pop category. Aretha Franklin was different but she was definitely a black woman who was accepted by white people.
colorism has been a big thing since slavery. This isn't new
He’s definitely not lying the same thing for movies too
He says the research looked at female artists in the last 15yrs and all the are comments coming up with artists who were poppin in the 90s and before, kinda proving his point
True!!
I appreciate his honesty and simultaneously displaying subconscious self-hate
Just what Malcom X spoke about: WHO TAUGHT YOU TO HATE YOURSELF!!! #COLORISM MY BLACK & ALL MY SISTERS BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL 💯❤️🙋🏾♀️✊🏾
YEEEEESSSSS QUEEN LETS GO!!!👑👑
Let's be honest. Of course we have many beautiful dark skinned women. But the light skin complexion is an aesthetic advantage (like height for men). There are too many sistas in the world that likely wouldn't be considered pretty if it wasn't for their light skin.
Yes, an advantage in Satan's world systems.
India arie was the most ethnically featured black woman I have seen with a record deal. She never cursed, was anti materialism and was Afrocentric. More than any of these other artists even lauryn Hill!
Strength Courage and Wisdom
Somebody should come out with a dope dark skin female group so we can break this glass ceiling the way we did with Black Panther.
En Vogue, and some but he said the majority don't
SWV.
He’s stating facts tho. He is definitely a smart businessman. Can’t take that away from him.
I'm sorry but some of Beyonce best music was created under his management.
I don't see how he saw Tina as a white woman at first. She's clearly a light skinned black woman. I guess he needed glasses thats why he wears them now. lol
No shes not shes mix and her kids
😂😂😂
Chris Carlton lol yeah, you're right. Even Stevie Wonder can see better than he can. 😎
I knew them back in the day and she was much lighter than she is now.
Tina is half white duh ! That’s why
I always knew he was color-struck. He describes his dating pattern as an “M.O.,” as in crime. 🤷🏽♂️😆
Ramone DeCurta most black are color struck
@@BeautifulGurl27 no
It means modus operandi. Has no criminal connotation whatsoever
will jackson : I think most PEOPLE are color-struck, even if only slightly.
@@DeCurtaRican well my black ass isnt lol
This is sad but true I'm light skin and I do see this happening, my daughter is brown skin and feel the same way, I told her dont you ever think someone is better than you because of they are lighter despite what Hollywood and others try to recognize as being better, they know nothing about true beauty.
Amen I’m light skinned and my Daughter is pecan brown and I told her the Same, No one is Better than the Other 💯Periodt I’ve experienced b.s being at the gas station and men yelling Hey lightskin!! First that’s not my Name! And I don’t want my daughter thinking because I’m light , I’m more attractive. NO ! I see beautiful chocolate ladies, just Gorgeous. We have to squash this bull!! All women are beautiful, every shape,shade.
@@babydollcornwell Amen
He said "who's Farra?" really! Oh no he didn't! He's just a shady mofo! lol smh.
Some black men are sick
Yep
Yes indeed. Sick of black women. You said it sister.
Sean Ewing how gross can you be thinking that way?
@@JanaeGable I am sorry. I got a little upset.I wont do it again.I actually love black women. I just hate when you all have nothing but negative shit to say about us. I am not really sick of black women. I am just sick of some of their blaming of black men for everything. It seems like any time a black male celebrity says some fuck shit about black women, the rest of us black men have to hear and read comments from black women as if we were the ones that said it or did it. I wish you all would go after the individual black men that did you all wrong and not throw the rest of us under the bus. But once again..I was wrong sister.
The powers that be has done their job.
This interview is fascinating.
Nigga said "that was my M.O." lol
Joe Anthony 💀💀💀💀💀😭😭😭
Joe Anthony lmao
This was/is a great interview (Very useful information to/for rising artists (Regardless of genres)).
The ignorance programmed within our people is disheartening. Makes me ashamed to hear about it every time. Smh
This is the BEST, most enriching Vlad interview 💎💎💎
Colorism still exists, it's everywhere on television. It effects dark skinned black women the most.
Agreed, I am a light skin black woman and I rep my dark skin Queens to the depths! Period Pooh! 😉lol
TF? Whitney Houston was NOT light LMAO! 😂 she about the same complexion as Mary J Blige. Whitney just made pop ballads that was popular at the time and she was very talented
Real Bitch they always did the lighting to make her seem that way though
That was also in the mid 80s so ur proving his point
He said the last 15 yrs tho
Beyonce isn't high yellow either
Facts he stupid...he dont know high yellow or copper colored indian
Whitney wasn't dark nor light she was brown skin or maybe a light brown skin. There have always been an exception to the rule but for the most part the industry reaches for the lighter skin before dark skin in women in the industry.
Jsimm100 she wasnt dark though. And if you look at her "dance with somebody" video, she looked lighter and had a blonde weave.
Black to the Basics That maybe true for that particular music video but she was no redbone either. You also have to factor in lighting and makeup too. They were referencing light skin and dark skin. Whitney falls somewhere in between the two skin colors.
She was light brown...the color brown comes in over 1000 different shades so you telling us she's brown isn't telling us much
A lot of y'all didn't listen to the interview. He said women over the past 15 years who have been at the top of the pop charts. So why y'all bringin up Foxy Brown, Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle? Lol! I must've missed the part when they came out in 2003.
Some of yalls comments proved that you didnt listen to the actual video
Right!!
Dark skin Rappers only get BIG BIG when they rap about killin and trappin...Think about it. All the dark skin rapper who DONT rap about that ( Big Krit, Wale, David Banner, Black Thought etc etc)
U hit it right on the nose
So Kanye, Big Sean, Andre 3000, Tyler the Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, The Migos just don’t count then. Your comment is silly. MOST of the most successful male rappers are not even light skinned. And Wale is a big rapper, how do you even add him to the list! Smh
What about Kanye, Kendrick, Big Sean, Travis Scott?
A POSITIVE SOLO ARTIST WHO RAPS ABOUT UPLIFTING BLACK PEOPLE....
Lil Nas X?
This is extremely true about the industry! Think about this if Cardi was dark skin would she have gotten this far 🤔
CiCi Love no bc the way she talks and carries herself would just be “ratchet or ghetto” but instead she is celebrated as just being herself bc she’s racially ambiguous
No
Not at all. Especially with her limited speech
Nope. And her behavior is “cute & funny” & not deemed too ghetto.
This is why dark skinned women are flighting to white men where they're not just tolerated but celebrated! Sisters always go to where you are celebrated!
So basically they got a slavemaster mentality too
@@pauloskidane2819 or maybe they like someone regardless of their race? What if that person was asian? Or south asian? People should date whoever they want, but should also be proud of whobthey are
yup!
@msc14111990 Where is Queen Latifah dark skinned? She is brown as they come.
Yeah so procreating with white men and possibly creating light skinned daughters so will be good for your mental health knowing you’ll most likely be jealous of your own child? Lmao y’all are delusional. Yeah go to white men and create high yellow children that you’ll be envious of 🤣
I can't wait to see the comment section on this one.
dayum12 huh? speak English
Surprisingly, Matthew Knowles is a very well spoken and Smart business man. I can honestly say I've enjoyed all interviews Ive watched of him...
Surprisingly 😂🤣😂
Love that he is speaking on this.
The false sense of reality that colorism can create for light skinned people can be very unreal to witness and experience.
I recently met a light skinned dude who honestly I couldn't really tell was black until he spoke. But his self confidence felt more like arrogance and it was unreasonable and illogical imo. Calling himself pretty every 2 seconds but yet I was squinting to find the cute in him let alone pretty🤣. And I noticed he spoke to me very differently than that of a yt person. Turned me completely off and taught me a good lesson.
I like darkskin women becuse the blacker the berry sweeter the juice
jorja smith > all dark skin blk women
What does that even mean?? No one knows and I hate judgment based on color that is insane it’s hard to find a genuine good person in general now we are going to narrow it down to a specific color and be compatible and genuine a good person mmm Kay have fun with that
Crazy stuff...but sugar is white and honey is yellow. Plus, honey is healthy....so there you go.
Ppl never say the whole saying..it goes " the darker the berry the sweeter the juice but if its too black it gots no use" and if you know fruit this is true. However in ppl not so I admit colorism is a thing. I have never been affected because I am a honey brown cinnamon color so never go the high yellow advantage nor sorrows and teasing, nor did I get darkskin praises or woes/troubles. I have heard darker women go on a tangent about lighter women and heard lighter women talk about dark women. I have seen the agenda of mainstream standards of beauty but I've always been regarded as pretty, beautiful, etc so idk I have seen ugly darkskin ppl and ugly lightskin ppl but beauty is subjective however all races should throw out eurocentric ideologies and self hating practices
I like women with an awesome personality....
Don't care how light or dark their skin is... a good woman is a good woman regardless!
I like the comment where M. Knowles states that the average person does not understand actual research vs emotions. That statement is so true because no one person likes everything, so their attention is geared towards things that interests them. However, when one does research they must find material on a certain subject whether is interesting or not.
Great interview
I applaud his honesty
“We interviewed Farrah...” who? Who? Who is that? 😂 😂 😂
unti black folks stop hating black folks things will never change!
This was a great interview
Awesome interview.
Hes definitely right, Remy song barely got any air play. Shes signed to Columbia records. They didn't push none of her songs.
You gotta write me a check for that one.🤣
Honest conversation
I respect his honesty
Peep how he said “high” complexion vs. “dark” complexion
Thank god for NORMANI! The only dark skinned woman killing it and TOP 10 on the charts
@@zzgcl1793 I COMPLETELY agree. Especially considering that not that many heavy hitters are out makingusic now a days, Normani should be in top.

This explains why Normani hasn't blown up yet

Why is it so hard for people to understand the idea that in a world that has TRADITIONALLY taught that black is bad it wouldn't be easy to find success in media the darker you are. Hell, in Westside Story they had the white actress who got the lead tail the actual Latina actress to learn how to "act" like a Latina woman because the studio refused to cast one in the starring role smh.

I love how truthful his being, now he has a beautiful chocolate lil girl. I hope he pushes her to top as he did with Beyonce. I honestly believe she may be the next beyonce his youngest daughter is beautiful.
People don’t realize it but whatever is within the heart that’s what’s going to be pushed people need to be honest instead of getting defensive physically
He know his ish!
Facts he's not lying look how people be like team light skinned or team dark skinned
"you have to write me a check for that"....is classic.

This Is why I always hold Brandy so close to my heart.
Me too. I love me some Brandy
She's problematic too, next.
@@notinterestedd How's Brandy problematic 🤔🤨
@@wealllovemerylstreep7037 do u really want me to do the research for u?
@@notinterestedd Yes if you find Brandy perpetuating Colorism, Racism, Misogyny, Rape Culture, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, Homophobia, Transphobia, Sex Trafficking and voting Republican than yes tell me about it. If your referring to her car accident which people nastily call her a murderer for or when she was forced to pretend that she was married by her management team. That isn't valid. Now, Brandy being the woman who saved me from throwing my life away several times, is shady and passive aggressive, Yes. But, problematic no. That's All.
Sad ah industry and world we live in... I LOVE MY CHOCOLATE SKIN!! ❤️
Massive Beehive member here 👋 Beyonce is so incredibly lucky she has her mother Tina in her life. I can see how hard working and determined Matthew is but he is disrespectful and at times kinda shady. Beyonce really only has the attribute of hard working from him other than that they are clearly opposite. Tina must have had the patience of a saint because Matthew while I respect him and I am sure he had reasons as to why he's like that. But truly I think it's so incredible how Beyonce is so gracious and humble it must of come from her mother.
Thank uou Tina!!
This is why is so important to go around labels and create, make and produce your own music! It's possible and there are artists doing it. Which is why they are stalked by record labels. If they don't want to pay US, then eliminate them all together!
