I don't agree with the 'reverse' racism idea. It's just straight racism or bigotry no matter the races involved. I just wish mixed folks would be allowed to appreciate their interesting ancestry. Seems like a wonderful gift to me.
Because America wants to wash its hands as quickly and easy as possible to pass off the illusion that it's not racist; that a "Black" president was elected so problem over, that somehow America doesn't have a problem electing and actually traditionally Black president... It's really a product of what is academically called White Fragility.
Why do we only want to talk about the bit of whiteness in there when they’re accomplished? If Obama were a common criminal instead of POTUS would the police get on the radio and say “Be on the lookout for a mixed race man?” The man looks black.
Same here. There are a few of us out here. The gaslighting and manipulation that goes on to keep people from that very simple concept - love people - is truly astonishing. When people are young and want to fit in, there's only one path: reject half of yourself or we'll reject you. Okay. So be it.
Why are "BROWN SKIN" people called, BLACK? Europeans PRETEND to be, so-called WHITE? How Do We BENEFIT From This Great Pretend Game? We versus THEM? Pretending that people are opposites of each other = CASTE SYSTEM Just think, this is 2024, and we continue to allow ourselves to be brainwashed, to call ourselves and others, "black" and "white," when neither are actually those colors. It's all make believe to create divides and peg people against each other. It's NO coincidence that Europeans or European Americans are so-called, "white" and Africans, or African Americans, have to pretend to be, so-called, "black." There is "ZERO SCIENCE INVOLVED" and clearly not based on actual appearance. The European wealthy rulers created the concept for their benefit. It's brainwashing, it's a delusion.

@@davidmarine7174 Basically true, Mr. Marine👍 If there weren't issues like racism to be discussed, what else would Ms. Owens be doing with her life and time, sir??🤔
black people tend to be very critical of black people who "don't act ghetto enough." They automatically call them massa or some other dumb name. It's a shame.
I’m a mixed man, and I get racism from black people too. There is a lot of racism, gaslighting and objectification from black people towards mixed people. Most of the racist stereotypes of mixed people come from black people.
As a Nigerian tourist visiting America (NYC) for a few months in 2015 I was surprised that 99% of the hostility I received were from the back Americans 😮. They were mostly unfriendly and unresponsive when I ask for help with directions, I even encountered one who mocked my African name. It was a terrible experience. On the other hand, the whites I encountered were mostly polite. This runs very contrary to what is being portrayed in the American movies and the constant claim of racism by the native black Americans. 🤷🏾♀️
I'm "biracial" and my mom raised me as "black" because the nurse at the time told her I was "black" if my father was. I was just always me and my mom exposed me to "black" culture my whole life but I was never afraid of my "whiteness" either. I fully embraced heavy metal, rock, as well as rap, soul, r&b, pop. Everything except country music. I was always too "black " for white people and too "white" for black people. Also i grew up with other "bi-racial" cousins who denounce their "black" side so its false that we "ignore" our "white" side cos theyre whiter than white people. Truth is we're alienated by both. And typically don't know what to claim cos there's always an issue claiming either one. I was relieved to learn that I'm actually Cherokee and German on both sides so since then I claim my nationality and not my "race"
I was about to say the same thing! As someone who’s mixed with 3 different “races” I never felt I belonged to any of the three mainly because of how people in those groups treated me. But I understand how mixed folks who are more accepted by one of the races or who phenotypically look more like one of the races would identify as that. Many bi-racial folks identified as white and tried to “pass” for the same reasons Candace is saying that some only identify as black. A generalization such as this doesn’t produce veracity because everyone’s circumstances are different. Now the only thing I identify as is a child of God and a Christian 🙌🏽
She’s not pure African..nor is her name..could SHE be ‘mixed race’ back there too? If so..why is she speaking on behalf of ‘black peoples’ and their day to day? It works both ways! She is clearly not ‘underprivileged’ either (think about what that starting point means). Today..more and more ‘white people’ are underprivileged too - but they will still have a 60-70% advantage applying for many ‘middle class’ jobs..even if they were homeless and drug addicted on the street 12 months back. Once cleaned up, just being ‘white’ is still an advantage for higher paid work - likely to get a person a job more, than most clean-living, single income ‘black-identifying’, sub-culturally ‘African-Americans’. Those are the present stats. So..whatever Ms Owens..you’re a bloody know all, with plenty of family and personal support. You are not ‘the ‘average black American’. It’s a total myth of (undemocratic) capitalism, to assume ‘anyone can make it anywhere if they try’ when you just have to look at black vs white wider representation in society everywhere. Don’t even start on ‘Hispanic’ or Native American people’s chances of fair chances and representation. A system to support those who lack support, is at least a leveller.
@@clairew2184she is African American stop trying to mix up her race because you can’t take the truth of a intelligent black woman. She definitely can speak on black people.
As a mixed person I’ve always hated when anyone says I’m just black. No I’m black AND white. If I can’t say I’m just white then I can’t say I’m just black.
To be totally honest, l wished us dark skin bla cks would stop claiming even a person with 1% black heritage to be bla ck..that is also destroying the race.
Correct me if I'm wrong ,,,,wasn't it those slave owners whom said if your 1 % black/ African then your just black plain and simple ? See I agree with you 1000 percent as a bi racial person myself it's people all the time telling me what I am or what I'm not considering they don't have my DNA results nor does anyone whom assumed anything about anyone's racial dynamics,, now if you notice unless that certain black person is a die hard conservative Gop Candice denounces blacks considering I assume she's black or at the very least part black which I'm positive she wouldn't want anyone' to denounce her part black kids so you'd think she would be more accepting of all races and skin tones not just WHITE and ORANGE !
More importantly WHY DO WHITE PEOPLE IGNORE MIXED PEOPLE WHITENESS OR BETTER STILL WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT RACE AND OR SKIN TONE ANYONE IS,,,, ((( AMERICA)))) ??????????
I was just about to make a comment about this, thank you!! My mother is white and my father is black - without those two realities, I wouldn’t be here. I could care less about how people identify me, I can’t help their ignorance. But when people are emboldened to ignorantly ask me “what are you?” I simply say I am both races - BECAUSE I AM! I don’t call myself African American either because I think that is silly. They don’t call themselves Irish American or German American or Dutch American, Finish American, British American…you get the point. But for some reason I’m supposed to be “African American” because I’m half black, that’s stupid!!! I’m American. Plain and simple. When I have to fill out race questions on my doctors forms, I say “human”. I’m over it! This racial division crap is the silliest thing ever!! People need to stop falling for it. There are plenty of “mixed” or biracial people that feel the same way I do. I completely embrace my black heritage - on my black side, we’ve been here longer than a lot of so called white Americans that do have the privilege of calling themselves “American” . There is an obvious expectancy for people with black (or African heritage if you want to get specific) heritage to call themselves black. But it’s not always because it’s a benefit. Candace is wrong on that. I find it interesting that people who haven’t had the experiences as a bi-racial human being think they are an expert on what all of us think. We all have different view points and ideas about how we racially self identify - and not always is it with a sinister mindset.
Good for you. I look forward to the day we just look at each other as human beings w/out any skin color notations. It’s so conditioned in us I’m 73 and I have to work on it/retrain my thought patterns
As a mother of one bi-racial child and one mixed race child. I always teach them to love both races equally and acknowledge the history behind both as well.
BOOM! I’m mixed but my grandmother is the only person who ever spoke to me on the white side of my family. They don’t even acknowledge her existence so they’ll never acknowledge me or my dad. I don’t even know what they look like… crazy because I’m related by blood to some blond haired, blue eyed white peoples out here in California somewhere that wouldn’t even give me a warm meal if I was starving. So as far as I’m concerned, I’m black.

True. My bestie is biracial. Her mom's family never accepted her and her other siblings as half caucasian..so she never identified as biracial.. she prefers to be called black/african (Senegalese). I told her eventhough your mom's family didn't admit you as theirs it doesn't erase the fact that she's half white.. She acknowledged that this feeling coz of rejection from her childhood trauma. She did the same thing to her daughter who is half asian as she refers her daugher as black. She looks like east asian decent with african hair so she doesn't see herself as african coz she looks like her father with her mom's hair.
My mom is from Africa and my dad from Ireland. I've ALWAYS identified and felt great pride in both sides of my heritage. When I see other mixed ppl insisting they're black, it sounds so illogical and sad that they have an obvious identity crisis.
@@preciouschild5490 apparently it’s because of the old “one drop rule” so if you had a little bit of black In you, then you’re “black”. Sophia Richie is on record saying she’s black lol
Honestly , I don't care what others think they are . When a university and PhD professors say that "mixed kids are black" and not half black-half white , then this becomes a social issue . Bro I've seen black people saying that Cristiano Ronaldo is black because he has ONE black grandmother .
In fact, black skin color is just a very dark shade of brown. White skin color is just a very light shade of brown. Everyone is merely some shade of brown. None of that speaks to a person's most important trait: that of character. MLK
And all of our babies are born pink. Hallelujah. I believe the black man is, in origin of humanity, our great great great times 5 grandparents of us all.
I hate when people quote other people. The difference between you and a parrot is you tell me who you are parroting. Which is good if you're being graded. "Whites only", isn't a "competitive" relationship. And you say....😂
My daughter is mixed, and I will not allow folks to say she's black or white, she's both. When she was in school before we pulled her to homeschool, the test they give at the end of the year, they would always select black for her. I told them not to do this and to either put other or both races, it's ridiculous in the first place that this question is asked, but I am sure there are benefits when you put down black. We will never get over racism, until we get over racism. I choose to be part of the human race who's an American.
My son is biracial. I am Irish my wife is black and native American. We raised him to understand our cultural heritage. He is not confused or ashamed. Society will always view him as a black man though and we tought him to understand that. We raised him with manners and to respect others unless they disrespct him. We don't deal with ignorant people. We are all Gods Children.
As where I grew up, if you had .001% African blood in you, you were supposed to be declared as black on your birth certificate. I think it was the 1 drop rule or something. I never understood this, but as I got into high school, I saw people that were about as white as I am that had a great grandparent that was black, so they had black checked on their birth certificate use affirmative action to get basically free or nearly free secondary education. What was sad was when they told black skinned kids they were considered black, they would get picked on for basically lying about being black.
As a mixed child I grew up with my white mother in her white world. I went to a white college and married a white man. I was in my mid 30's before I met a black person. (I don't remember my father and his family, I was around 3.5 when my parents divorced.) When I came across a black person, it was a wild experience. I knew in my head we were the same race, but our language, accent, vocabulary, clothing, attitudes, life experiences were so different it was like meeting an alien from another planet. My mom worked hard to teach me I was the same as everyone around me, skin colour be damned. I shall forever be grateful that she didn't see colour, oppression, advantage, etc. She just saw people. By the way, as a single mother in a rural area in up state NY, we were poor. No advantages other than a mother who believed in me.
@margaritgerman. I grew up not meeting my father till I was 13 and after meeting him, wondering what my mother saw in him. I grew up with a black mother in a white neighborhood and suffered racism that I couldn’t identify till I got much older. Only the racism was not from my peers and God blessed me with mental capacity that was above average. So I learned quickly that the outside didn’t determine the inside. AND there were people of good and poor character of all races. I just focus on being one of the good ones.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's not your color, it's your upbringing. I'm absolutely certain that Candace was not raised in Compton, CA...SMH
The one-drop rule was a legal principle of racial classification that was prominent in the 20th-century United States. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of "black blood")[1][2] is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms). It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.
Yes but the people who she's referring to not only did they not live through that time but neither did their parents or even grandparents and yet they act as if their personal experience and whole life and family has been held down because of slavery when in reality the last 4 generations have been living off the government dole with absolutely everything paid for never working a day in their lives.
You hit the nail on the head!! Candace Owens is being disingenuous as though she doesn't know why this happens....and it's sad. Mixed race children will be called black by white people. Fact.
@@keeblertime1486 You're just being obtuse right? If you don't understand what generational wealth is then you should not even join a conversation. Also, of course not all white people are rich but the system is set up for you to succeed. Black people were not allowed to own land, go to school, read, buy a home, or own a business. That is what is meant by "head start". White people ALWAYS had those privileges.
You get scholarships, college admission, trial acquittals, jobs, etc., solely because of the color of your skin. Whereas it's illegal for anyone to do the same for White people. If you're Black and under 60 you've known a life of nothing but privilege.
Many people in America share the same experiences as you. No wonder. It's always the same race that's actually being actively racist towards people that aren't like themselves.
My boys are mixed and they get called the N word at school. They were told they don’t belong there. While my husband and do our best to raise our boys to know you are mixed with both, most the world does not see that. We can teach all we want as parents, if there is not teaching overall the problem continues to grow. We still have to admit there blacks still have snuggles fitting in. My boys have to go through all the hate on a daily basis at school. I have to teach them to ignore it and report it.
Candace follows her own drummer. Unfortunately racism has existed since the discovery of the " New world 🌎 " and slavery. It was brought over with the idea of colonialism. Maybe even B4 then with the Crusade? One need only read history. Racism is wrong no matter which group practices it. I have grands of mixed race and they don't have a problem identifying with both their heritage b it black, white or east Indian. Yes my family is a United Nations! My family welcomes all nations I am proud to say.but I am familiar with what Candace is saying. I have eyes. Racism has truly screwed up our way of thinking and should be erased. The Creator made variety.. mankind took a decided down turn. Certain advantages wouldn't exist if not for racism Candace. Although I wouldn't call them advantages really. Displaying equal opportunity towards different ethnic groups should be looked at as a "given" it is only because we all realize that opportunity is most often enjoyed by those of a particular race that all of this BS came into practice.
Except in this case she is telling a lie. Black people don't have any advantages. Usually when a mixed person looks like a mixed person if they say that they are White, people will laugh at them. If they look White they usually will say that they are White.
Its not the truth just cause she speaks words now we know you believe anything and easy to be gaslighted let me guess your full blooded just like candice so how would u know she going off a PhD funny how that PhD she said would know was he mixed eejit no thinking ppl 😂😂
Anyone who says this without knowing the scientific official definition of racism is not knowledgeable enough to entertain in discussion. This is not to say blacks cannot be racist, it's simply very very very rare based on its definition. Hint the definition IS NOT bias due to race. That would be a form of prejudice
@@LadybeetleMaddox I suggest that you take another look at the definition of racism, because it is very clearly predicated upon racial or ethnic prejudice. Racism is just a term used to describe a form of prejudice. There is no such thing as a form of racism that is exclusive to blacks, or any other ethnic group. Racism is evil, regardless of the reasons, intent, or shade of melanin behind it. There is only one human race with different ethnicities, anyway, thus, the term "racism," is, technically, a misnomer.
What is racism exactly? The uneducated and uninformed will equate racism simply in terms of racial hatred but will ignore the more insidious nature of what it exactly is. What is racial bigotry? They are clearly not the same thing though the common denominator is hate. Racism is about a socio-economic system of power and advantage solely based on the premise of racial superiority. Those that support said system are called racists. Hate is not a prerequisite for racism but simply an evil byproduct of it. Thus, calling Black people racist because they hate the system of racism and those that support it is simple diluting the word. Black people, on the other hand, can be equally irrational and can become racial bigots. Since Black people other than Owens do not support, defend and promote racism, calling Black racial bigots racists is just a clever way of diminishing racism and the word racist.
Easy answer...people mixed with black always had to identify as black legally. They were enslaved, had to ride on back of the bus etc. Look up the one drop rule
it depends on the circumstance i went an all white highschool and those white kids were brutal to biracial kids. They made fun of their hair they called them oreo they made fun of their skin color. They called them terrible names. I dealt with racism as a black man but they got it wayyyyyy worse.
I have white skin and am legitimately Native American. Nearly every race has "white" and "black" skin colored people. For this reason- skin color shouldnt be used to judge someone. Character counts.
Weird. I woke up thinking about this. You are 100% accurate. I dated a Portuguese man with black hair black eyes his two sisters were 1 with brown hair lite brown eyes the other blond with blue eyes. Same Portuguese parents. That's why we shouldn't judge but if we do it needs to be on character not color.
It's funny how racism didn't exist in Africa amongst the Black Africans who were different shades, but was imported in by all other races including the Europeans. Now why is that you suppose?
@@Aarticqn that is just not true lmao. Tribes were literally killing each other cause they looked differently and refused to mix each other. Learn history's American.
@@Aarticqn this idea of africa being pure and innocent of racism and homofobia before the arabic and European colonisation is just a str8 up fairytail that u tell to yourself . Facts are facts tribes between were extremely barbarian and did kill other tribes that were looking too diffrent
He had to identify that way to get VOTE. He was used by his handlers, that’s why just a few days ago with the testimony of decaprio the 30 million Odama got paid for his 2012, campaign came from countries outside US, and is illegal.
Mixed race woman 🙋🏽♀️ here. I have never identified as black nor have I ever identified as white! Do you know why? Because I am mixed, and a blend of both. I am Café Au Lait and proud of my mixedness and I will never deny either of my parents existence in my life. I come from both beautiful and proud cultures and peoples and no one will ever take that away from me and not will I ever pick one side over the other. I will and always will call out the bs from both sides and I will defend either side when it is called for. I am a Brit and I have never understood the US obsession and mindset on race and colour. But now I am seeing it creeping into Britain and I am sad because the US race politics is setting Britain back and destroying what my grandparents had fought for in Britain. Britain was more progressive and doing better and was on the right track until Americanism's critical race theory infiltrated and infected our country.
I went to a pool recently with my white son and he desperately wanted to play with a group of black children in the pool. He asked if it was ok to play with them so the kids asked their grandma if they could play with my son and the grandma said no cause my son was white. He’s a 5 year old little boy just wanting to play with other kids. No color needed to be involved. Very sad.
I’m sorry that happened to your son. I’ve raised my kids never talking about skin color or race, but instead to be kind to everyone. My toddler son’s 1st best friend was a little black boy. It was the cutest to see them running around as innocent little kids.
The Whole World is skin-colour obsessed. What difference does it make - you are what you are. Was it Morgan Freeman who said - “I’m not a black man….I am a MAN”. A wise man who hasn’t allowed his colour to stop him from getting where he wanted to be. Get over it & make a good life for yourself.
That’s a double negative… why would someone choose to be oppressed if they had the option to be the oppressor?? Who would chose to be the Slave when they could chose to be the master?
@@Black_Gabe You don't get it. They AREN'T oppressed, but pretending to be and getting other mindless idiots to go along with the charade is where the power lies. And it takes NO EFFORT. That's why they do it.
Mixed person here. 46 yrs old. I think you are what you look. Unless I mention it most think I'm black. Whiteness is no secret. But white people have attempted to attribute all my great qualities to my whiteness. Which left me in defense of my blackness. Maybe not jump to conclusions on things you don't really understand 👍🏽
No. You have to go back and do an indepth understanding. Why they tend to identify with black is because it is a fact that black people are more accepting of people of mixed with black as compared to white people accepting towards people of mixed with white. Friends of that background speak about that all the time
I'm so glad she said. I always heard from this older lady that if you're mixed with black, you're automatically black. 🤔 No, you're biracial. It isn't that hard people. Acknowledge both parents' races.
My family was taught blk always meant light skin or darker ans technically its what it means by Americas basic social construct. But if you mean blk as in African ethnicities, then you must realize its no actual percentage. My mom light skin ans multi generational mixed from her but its ppl everywhere in Louisiana area with just 1 yt grandparent ir great grandparent and come out 25-50% European. Its no actual percentage and normally when both parents light skin or darker, our parents put African American box. And that's why when ppl say they half and half blk for example, i can't automatically assume It's someone a lil admixed because of slavery (10-20% European if they honestly don't know a recent ancestor), but instead I'm thinking its ppl just as mixed as a hodgetwin fir example. Even they know the recent ancestor and say they African American. Ppl saying blk howni explained as a basic social construct is common sense imo but i do wish ppl would keep Mixed on census so we can get an American only option one day.
America laws made a person from black and white parents black. Owen's is a ignorant person. While people rejected black and white people. Black people accepted them. Owen hates the She is black
That you're considered black if you have a drop of black blood in. You was started by white supremacists. So for a biracial person to claim they only are one race or the other is feeding into the white supremacists ideology.
What about someone who is 1/4 white but look black? Do they have to tell you about their 25%? The majority of African Americans have at least 15-25% caucasian dna. So this is a very nuanced subject matter. You’re completely oversimplifying this Candace. With all due respect.
I have biracial boys and I will never allow them to ignore their white side. I will not tell them that their only black and ignore their fathers side. Their father is very important part in their life and I would imagine how bad it makes the white mother or father feel when their child says “Im black and completely ignore their white side. That’s horrible and I will not allow my boys to do that to their father. They will be proud of who they are and love both sides.
Isn’t it more fun to have so many good things in a life growing up? I wonder why people can’t embrace goodness in their lives, as if people don’t want to be happy or create magic for their kids.. good for you guys to have so many great things in your lives
Candace, I am definitely on your side 100 percent. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having the bravery to do what you do. You are in my prayers. MAY THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE BLESS YOU AND ALL YOUR PEOPLE
@@jefolson6989 So you’re describing the great majority of leftists. I always thought they could be safely ignored. It’s just that there are so many of them and they seem bound and determined to destroy an amazing culture that has provided them and others with great opportunity and wealth and freedom.
@@Mike__G when the GOP finds a way to take the country back to the 50s, I might listen. Its the only way to make america great again , as they see greatness. Segregation and rule by white men, and a post WW2 ecomony. Even another war wont do that ever again. A workable plan to deal with present and future problems doesn't interest them. Longing for the past, and governing out of the Bible aren't ever going to work. It's a nice dream. Not workable
Could it be as simple as mixed race people will identify with whichever parent had the biggest influence on them? Oh no, that would not be inflamatory enough
I'm 67 and white. MY whole life I treated people with respect and love. The past 5yrs I've experienced more hatred coming from a few black people than I have never seen. Not everyone came from plantation owners, not every white person lived in the states and a lot of white people died to free the slaves in this country. I pray for people toting hatred in their hearts for anyone; it will make them sick and old.
God Bless you! I’ve experienced the same. Probably for the same reasons too. My parents with an emphasis on plural parents raised me to respect ALL people. Thank goodness we never saw color because we would have missed knowing people who shaped our lives. I AM Extremely racist against all things under the rainbow flag. 😆😁😄😂😇
If the white people hadn't fought and died to change the rules and abolish slavery, black people would still be slaves, and, I might add....sold into slavery by other black people that captured them so they could steal their lands in Africa.
Im 1968 I was in a fox hole on Hill 10 with Smitty, a 20 year old black man. They forgot they had left us there so we had a lot of adventures to share. I had never been around black people much. We became friends and always had each other's back. The truth is, we are spiritual beings and this planet has gone insane with it's reactivity and lack of understanding about life and mankind.
My mom is white, blond hair blue eyes. Dad is black, dark brown eyes. I identify equally with both races. I also think I’m Puerto Rican for some reason lol My music shuffle be like, DMX, Slipknot, 2chains, A day to remember, Anuel AA, Techno 😂
In the past in Britain, mixed race people were not accepted by some white people therefore it was better to see yourself as black to enable belonging. History and psychology is very useful for context. Keep loving and compassionate ❤.
I’m black and my husband is half white, half Asian. Our daughter was harassed in school for identifying as mixed. She was told that she is nothing but black and to get used to it because whyte people will only see her as black and will treat her accordingly. She told them that isn’t her experience at all, she was told she hates her blackness. They keep telling her the 1-drop rule says she black. I’m not American and neither is my husband. Regardless of what stupid, outdated law says, we will not let anyone define who we are or what our kid is. This country is obsessed with race and I’m sick of it. Can you imagine a young child being bullied in school because she identifies with all that she is? Anyway, we pulled her out of public school and she’s so much happier now.
@luckyrabbit Wow 😢 That's sad that others are telling her how she needs to identify. She should be allowed to be proud of who she is and fully embrace all of her heritage.
No one on this earth is not mixed. Each person is not Mum only or dad only. Fact you are using colour on others and not yourself which is light Brown says it all. If you going to use a colour on Afro people make sure it is Brown or dark brown or darkest brown. When did you mix white paint and black paint and got your colour?👎
Racism is racism there is no reverse to it. That’s an idiotic term. I’m mixed and well I am a swirl baby, I don’t deny my white family who loves me. Generalizing is dangerous and not all mixed people only identify if they have 1 drop of black blood they are all black. That’s wrong. However it’s obvious that being polarizing is good for views after all I looked at this. So Bravo.
I’m biracial. After being treated as less than by black people growing up, I wholeheartedly support my whiteness. I’ve never been treated bad by white people. If biracials identify only as black, it gets them the attention they seek.
That's your experience, you likely grew up around mostly black people. There are biracials who were mistreated at all white schools because they weren't white.
She meant racism is one sided its ok for blacks to be racist vs whites but not vise versa. (Politically) so she called the opposite of that a reversal of the norms. I think she understands quite well what racism means.
I can’t believe we are still on the racism train. We have brilliant minds inventing awesome things, we have those that see a broader spectrum and enlighten the masses, we know and have access to so much knowledge. Yet we are still stupid! I only ever not like someone if they are a jerk to me. How hard is it?
In America, affirmative action benefited many people including white women. There is no more affirmative action in America and I didn't see or hear black people fighting to keep it.
I think a lot of black/white mixed people identify as black because that is how they are perceived. That being said, I hope they take pride in both their white and black heritage.
That's a lie. Meghan Markle DOES NOT look black. Claepperd1ck looks like a white person with a tan. However, both of them know saying they are black and playing multi-millionaire victims is very profitable.
No, it's how racist white Democrats labeled them back in the 1960s and they are stuck with it. Besides, they are too hateful to express their white side.
I'm white and I ignore my "whiteness" cause it's not a thing. I really don't understand racism. Truthfully. How skin color can determine personality... 🤷♂️
Candace, my kids are biracial and I taught them to embrace both sides. You are an amazing mother I know. You keep telling the truth and we will listen. God bless you sister.
They can NOT "embrace both sides". That's a fantasy. There is no such thing as "biracial". HOW? The parents are the SAME RACE, different colors. If one of you is Black and the other is White, in America, your children are Black. Don't screw up their heads. American society will give them a ride awakening.
You ever heard anything about the one drop rule, bruh? I'm half asian and half north african. My baby momma is german and my son pretty much looks white. In Germany, where I was born and raised, a couple of white people still view him as different looking. There are enough white people out there, who view mixed people as just the minority part. You either are black or white and when you are white passing, they don't see the blackness anymore. Look at Halsey for instance. She's a third black, but doesn't look like it. It's not us who choose this crap. I never think about my eyes and my dark curly hair. It's white people that remind me of that.
While, there are many things I can agree with Candace Owens on, this is not one of them. People who have both white and black parents often identify as black because society sees them as a black person, although fair skinned. Therefore, it would seem absurd for them to call themselves white. Furthermore, there are fair skinned black folks that have both black parents that many would assume them to be of mixed race when in fact, they are not.
in Canada the term used to be "mulatre/mulatto" and that's what the caribbeans said too. all of a sudden some people decided mulatto was "racist" and we should call mixed afro/euro "métis"... but in Canada there is a particular type of native who are already called "métis" (pronounced meh-tee)!!
My mom is white, dad black. I am black. The only reason “white” and “black” exist as “racial” category is because white people needed to be able to distinguish the difference between black and white “slavery” as separate institutions. White slavery was (effectually) indentured servitude. Whites slaves lived under the common definition of slavery. For example, slavery was not perpetuated to their children. By contrast, MIXED children of slaves and slave master, were originally freed upon the master’s death and inherited all or a potion of their father’s wealth. However, the one drop rule was created so non white males COULD NOT inherit wealth. Black was black, no matter the amount. So…. If we intend to change the original definition created under the law, let’s simply do away with color as race instead of creating just another divisive category…
No all I can think about is systematic racism. Like when they watch me at the self cash out but when I look over u see an elderly white woman stealing everything cause they don't watch y'all. Or when I go to the hospital all they think is u want pain pills when I just wanna know why my stomach hurts oh I was full of boop all was needed was an x-ray and laxative meds. Or when I go for a bank loan my white friend recommended and has a lower credit score than me and still gets the loan but I get told no with a higher credit score. I don't feel uncomfortable in my skin white people are afraid of my skin. My skin is a problem with you. You don't want me as a neighbor so I can't get the loan on that house. I must be stealing cause white people don't steal. Black people can't have that much money in the bank so let's call the police and hold her check. It has nothing to do with race obsessed. It is about being treated fairly and their are no numbers to back up the injustice done to us. You don't believe it cause you are blind and it does not matter to you. But hunny let me tell you I am comfortable in my skin. And so is my white husband who sees the injustice everyday. How comfortable are you in your white skin. Are you comfortable enough to stand up and say something or will you sit back and believe everything Candace has to say about blacks cause it must be true because she is black and married well so now she is above most blacks so she has a right to talk down on black people to make herself look wonderful gtfoh with that race obsessed you have no idea.... ❤️
You look like a h**ky lol speaking on something you have no need to insert yourself in. Candace is the only education you have on black folks. Do so research on Candace who had NAACP help her win a discrimination lawsuit against her black skin. Yeah she won. She knows what it is like to not feel comfortable in her own skin. Ask her to talk about that loyal fan...
I've thought about this. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and the history we're taught is that we are a mix of white spaniard, black slaves and the native Taino indians of the island, but it's always the latter two that are fixated on and the ones that we're always told we should be proud of being. The white third always seems to get omitted from the cultural pride discussion.
That is sad and unfortunate that of the three races that you are, the others are celebrated and the Caucasian race gets ignored. …What’s beautiful is that anyone can choose to be a good person who sees the beauty in others, if they have goodness also, and if people are hateful, we can choose to show them love to the best of our ability so that they, too, can love their neighbors and be happy! Jesus Christ had the correct prescription for those who find fault with others! He was called the great physician! Love your enemies! Pray for those who despitefully use you! If we would just follow the Two Great Commandments to: Love God Love your Neighbor …we would get along with everyone and there would be great peace in the world!!! ❤ Jesus truly was “the Great Physician” of the soul!!! …Do we have enough courage and strength to follow Him?!
That is exactly what happened with my white friend's three black children. They don't like white people even though they were raised by white people. Their black dads all abandoned them.
She is spot-on. Racism needs to be called out and treated the same way in all situations. So sick of it only being called out for the blacks. I for one will speak up no matter what, black, white, purple, green. I have always had the courage of my convictions and unfortunately we have empowered the black community to a feeling of entitlement because of the color of their skin. So wrong in so many levels.
💯 correct!! I know growing up and all the way til what 4-6 years ago, Race was never an issue. Everyone got along with everyone, people didn’t base everything on racial issues, didn’t make everything about race which happens now even when the original topic had nothing to do with race. And Racism was called out quick my entire life growing up until like I said 4-6 yrs ago when everything became hugely political and democrats brought race into everything to specifically cause a divide in the American People(not people that are in America Illegally, but American Citizens. That work and pay taxes, give back to our society in one way or another, the ones that have been here if not their entire lives the majority of their lives, have worked for everything they have, obey laws, don’t get helped in any way by our own government, etc) and for the most part POS Biden and his POS Administration have succeeded in dividing our community. Biden, the Democratic party, the media, celebrities etc have pushed their made believe narrative of “everything that’s wrong in people’s lives are specifically due to white people, trying to make slavery an issue and an “excuse” why some people don’t have the lives they think they should have, EVEN THO SLAVERY WAS ABOLISHED IN THE USA ON DECEMBER 6, 1865!! Which was 158 Years ago, so Slavery had no impact(physically, emotionally, financially, etc) on anyone alive today. Democrats knew who they could manipulate and use like puppets to cause a divide, cause the downfall in our country, blame whites and cops for everything and to claim that blacks are being targeted for anything that happens because of their race. The crime could happen right in front of 30-40 people and best believe all 30-40 people will swear on a stack of bibles that the criminal didn’t do it damn well knowing they did, no accountability for the crimes that are committed. Not because the criminals that get arrested committed the crimes they are being arrested for but because everyone claims they didn’t do anything wrong, they were with their (whoever their fake alibi would be at the time) the entire day/night and the cops are only being arrested because they are black(no accountability for the crimes they commit it’s always the cops fault and/or white peoples fault) So trying to use Slavery and Racism as an excuse why “blacks don’t have the life they think they deserve” is just a weak, pathetic way to not take responsibility for not doing what they needed to in order to have the life they think they deserve. FIX YOUR HOMES AND FAMILIES INSTEAD OF BLAMING EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING ON YOUR FAILURE TO HAVE THE LIFE YOU THINK YOU DESERVE. CAUSE I WAS RAISED WATCHING MY DAD WORK 50,60,70 sometimes more than that many hours a week/ multiple jobs/ below minimum wage(one job he had was only $4 and hour) he rode a bike a half hour to work everyday til he was old enough to get his license, to provide for his family, himself and to buy what he/my mom/ and me and my siblings wanted and needed. I WAS RAISED TO NOT STEAL, NOT DESTROY OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY, TELL THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, TO ALWAYS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHATEVER I DID THAT I GOT IN TROUBLE FOR AND DEAL WITH WHATEVER PUNISHMENT I RECEIVED FOR MY FUCK UP. ALSO TAUGHT WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN DECISIONS, ACHIEVEMENTS, FAILURES ETC AND IF WE WANTED A DIFFERENT OUTCOME THAN WE NEEDED TO WORK, STUDY ETC TO ACHIEVE THE OUTCOME WE WANTED IT TO BE.
You think yall have empowered Blacks what a naive statement. I don't agree with how Blacks treat anyone who isn't black less than but nor do I erase people's expierences of them not wanting to integrate with cultures that don't make them feel comfortable and safe. Its entitlement to think people aren't entitled to not want to socialize or deal with people based on their expierences. I say this for any race anyone treats you with hate remove yourself from those environments and stay respectful and keep it moving. Period I don't hold anger towards any culture and just socialize with people open to being kind
It’s a blessing to be of mixed ethnicities/cultures as it shows people coming together/loving one another, no matter their differences. I feel sorry for those that feel they have to pick just one part of themselves to be proud of. I’m much happier embracing them all, as a whole.
ANW714 - As a Mother & Grandmother, & am of an older generation I can't help but feel sorry for what the parents & grands feel when they are of the rejected ethnicity. Don't those of mixed race comprehend they can accept & enjoy the best parts & cultures of both or more of their ancestral races. I'm white, but from three different European ethnicities. I enjoy all the histories, including the Irish Famine, knowing my ancestors likely were indentured servants. None of the three were rich & that's usually why it's hard to trace our birth records. But accepting that one fact, I take pride in knowing they were tough hard working people. It's the same for my other two bloodlines. Regardless of not having specific records & names, I enjoy reading about their countries' history, customs, & cultures - especially the foods & clothing styles. Candace was right saying the term something like obsessed racism. Someone who rejects part of their own body is to be pitied. That much self-hate about who they are must drive them insane. Hence obsessed racism. There can be no peace within their mind or soul. 😢
My niece is mixed, half Italian half Puerto Rican and she constantly denies her Italian heritage even though she wasn’t even raised by her father who was Puerto Rican. I feel as though it’s a coping mechanism for her beings her dad was never in her life. She did her dna and low and behold the percentage of European was higher than any other. I’ll never get it and I just think it’s so disrespectful towards my parents considering she was raised around them!
@@Beautytrends77 as a mom of 4 multiracial children, I wonder if maybe there are a few things at play(not that it makes it less hurtful, just understandable). 1)maybe she feels that her dad will "love her more" if she identifies with him?? 2)were you always open with her regarding her heritage? Like her whole life? Sometimes when learning something new, kids want to "try it out" and see how it fits them. 3)not trying to be mean, but just your reaction to the DNA test seems like maybe she has never felt free to celebrate or talk about one side of her heritage and now that she can, she is going to...almost as a form of rebellion. I don't know your situation and I truly wish the best for your niece, your family, and you! I am just trying to offer a bit of input from the outside looking in....from someone who told my children what they were and as much as I could about "their people" because their father wasn't around-and they decided they didn't want him around when he wanted to come back in their lives more than a decade later(one gave him one chance, he didn't show, she cut him off HARD). So they've always been confident in who/what they are, even without dad there to tell "his side"-because I didn't want confused kids or kids that only knew "my side" of themselves. Good luck!! Will pray for your niece & family!! She will find her way, she just needs to grow up & come around.
@@tammiehinkle2040 my niece was always told about both sides, she has aunts and uncles from her fathers side so she knows about her Puerto Rican culture, she just chooses not to identify with her European side. As I stated she does it as a coping mechanism and yes you are correct she thinks her dad will love her more. No one talked bad about her Puerto Rican heritage either, it was embraced.
I think some try to prove their blackness. Some also may think it garners cool points to be like "I'm Black" or "I'm half Black". It's like White ppl pointing out they're part Native American even though it's like .003% of their genealogy. But ofc being half _ ethnicity or race is more percentage.
Think what she means is that mixed people don't ever say they are mixed or white, they just identify as black and thats confusing bc if this country was so racist why would anyone claim being black but not mention they are also white
@@argarman09 Because the racists are so much so that they don't care about half. But not claiming one's Blackness would be seen as being ashamed. It is totally stupid. America is fucked up.
When filling out forms for decades, we cannot forget that Meghan Markle always marked the box that said WHITE... until she realized that SCREAMING RACISM garnered her more attention and manipulative power.
@@psmith6852 she never identified as white lol, the haters just say this to justify their hatred of her, she identified as mixed which is what she is!!!
Mixed person here who identifies as biracial or mixed at all times. It comes with pros and cons from both sides and we experience a lot of racism from both sides too. I’ve learned to love myself for who I am despite the odds.
Yeah, I'm biracial - My Mom is white from the U.S. and my dad is black from Zimbabwe, originally. Growing up, in our house we acknowledged both sides, without apology. I'm both and proud to be. I did have people have an issue with this when I was growing up, but I just continue being myself and I'm happy to be both races. :)
You know President Obama's father was a dark-skinned Kenyan? That's probably why some people don't think of him as mixed. Then you got someone like Quincy Jones daughters. Lolo Jones and Rashida Jones definitely look mixed. We should be proud of both sides. 🙏🏼💯
My friend is mixed and he thinks it's the worst thing in the world for people to call him a black man when he is clearly half black.ive always thought it heartbreaking that he is actually racist against himself.But he's from Chicago and it's very different there for black folks.
This woman is a force of nature, and speaking as a white female I embrace her for her strength, and immense intelligence….in addition to both her black, and white heritage❤️.
I admire Candice's honesty and character. She is also an intelligent and attractive female. When a person such as she or anyone else for that matter always speaks from the side of truth then they never have to worry about remembering what they had previously said in the past even if their opinions evolve over time.
My biracial sons know how the world sees them but have never denied their white side. To do so would be to deny me, their mother, my mother & father, & every other white person who had a hand in raising them. Now my oldest son is married and has three children of his own. His oldest has brown eyes, black hair, & darker features while his 2 younger kids are lighter than me with hazel and blue eyes. GENETICS ARE AN AMAZING THING and to deny any part of your heritage is a disgrace and a dishonor to those who are responsible for getting you here.
Isn't it silly that our race is something that people can be negative about? If it's not one race or another, it's a mix of races that people are negative about. How ridiculous is that? We are way too comfortable in society if we can afford to focus on a person's ethnicity and spend our energy hating them because of where their ancestors originated and what that makes them look like they do.
I can relate to what you saying that we / some people only see/ feel what they want to feel or see. We as human beings comes from a looong line of mixed heritage,. God does not see color period, When Jesus judges us all one day soon, HE ain't gonna say, whites oneside,blacks far left, He's going to judge us according to our fruitfulness and our strong faith in Jesus. Blessed be
I can understand this completely, based on experiences. My son graduated from high school, and I couldn't wait to have him attend college ASAP. I asked him to apply for financial help as much as he could get. In the end, he only got $500 to cover books costs. So I went to talk to his financial advisor. As we sat and waited, a few black kids came and complained that their free laptops were not Apple brand. One black girl and her boyfriend had a free apartment and said they complained about their cash assistance check. I got upset and got into a Karen mode, so the financial advisor took my son and I to her office. She showed me how the establishment works. She showed me millions of dollars funding for black minorities, black African, Haitian, Somalian, etc... but for white and Asians there was barely any funding at all. White students and Asian had to fight for a handful of grants.
🎯 So, sad. One guy enrolled into college as a black man, they paid everything for him; but they wouldn’t when he applied as white. It shouldn’t be the color of one’s skin but the need of the person.
Now THAT is "systemic racism"! You should SUE. Find a legal organization that takes these kind of cases and SUE. The only way things will change is if people stand up and don't stand for it. Racism is racism.
I experienced the same thing with my daughter (white). Valedictorian 4.4 gpa with no community or financial aid and the Mexicans in her class got 4 year full ride scholarships from bill gates foundation and other foundations also got community scholarships so they actually made money going to college and no need for getting a job while in school.
She's only explaining how she's offended by any racism, but that she's offended by the fact that black people seem to feel it's ok to call all other people, who are different than them by racial slurs. It's more about the double standard !
It’s only racism when white people are involved. When black on black issues is a form of reverse racism because she’s pointing out why the doctor who is clearly mixed check marks ✅ black instead of mixed raced on legal documents.
I’m a mixed race woman raised in middle class white suburbia in Ontario Canada during the 80’s. I experienced racism from white AND Black people. I was asked ignorant questions from teachers about whether or not I WAS CONFUSED 🫤 because I was “mixed???!?” My black mother raised me and I obviously developed in a way that I identified most with her . Being female also contributed to that. I also was/am aware that the mostly white world in which I must navigate, generally see me as a “coloured or black person.” Needing to accomplish “tasks,” I don’t have and didn’t have the time nor did/does it matter to me what people think. I accept that I am being treated with a level of discrimination and ignorance that I just don’t have time or inclination to address at those times. I do check the “mixed race” box. I don’t reject any part of myself as that would do me a disservice on my journey of self actualization. The world can refer to me however they wish. I generally don’t correct them as that’s “A THEM PROBLEM NOT A ME ISSUE.” Namaste 🙏🏽 I think you are doing a wonderful job Candace. 👍🏽👍🏽
No such thing as reverse racism. It's just racism
Was thinking same thing
Exactly 💯
THANK you! I hate that expression. What does it even mean?! Racism is racism, regardless of who the hate eminates from.
I don't agree with the 'reverse' racism idea. It's just straight racism or bigotry no matter the races involved. I just wish mixed folks would be allowed to appreciate their interesting ancestry. Seems like a wonderful gift to me.
Period!
I’ve met sooooo many people who literally DID NOT know that Obama is half white. It’s shocking…🤦♀️
Crazy huh? He was even raised alone with his white mom.
Obama identified as black in college though didn't he? He is very much black in sense of identity.
Well you certainly can’t be sure just by looking at him sooooo… They would’ve had to of learned about his upbringing.
@@d.c.5033 it’s a good reason to never judge anyone because of the way they look. 👍
@@Hawaiian6-pack Correct.
Why is Barack Obama called black when he is mixed race also...
Because America wants to wash its hands as quickly and easy as possible to pass off the illusion that it's not racist; that a "Black" president was elected so problem over, that somehow America doesn't have a problem electing and actually traditionally Black president... It's really a product of what is academically called White Fragility.
They took half by right and usurped the rest.
Why do we only want to talk about the bit of whiteness in there when they’re accomplished? If Obama were a common criminal instead of POTUS would the police get on the radio and say “Be on the lookout for a mixed race man?” The man looks black.
Because he’s dark skinned and visibly black.
That's easy. He can't pass for a white man. 🙄
I am Mixed and I love Both my Black and White Race!!!!!
By you are trying so hard to ignore one drop rule
Nobody cares.
Same here. There are a few of us out here.
The gaslighting and manipulation that goes on to keep people from that very simple concept - love people - is truly astonishing. When people are young and want to fit in, there's only one path: reject half of yourself or we'll reject you. Okay. So be it.
Why are "BROWN SKIN" people called, BLACK? Europeans PRETEND to be, so-called WHITE? How Do We BENEFIT From This Great Pretend Game?
We versus THEM? Pretending that people are opposites of each other = CASTE SYSTEM
Just think, this is 2024, and we continue to allow ourselves to be brainwashed, to call ourselves and others, "black" and "white," when neither are actually those colors. It's all make believe to create divides and peg people against each other. It's NO coincidence that Europeans or European Americans are so-called, "white" and Africans, or African Americans, have to pretend to be, so-called, "black." There is "ZERO SCIENCE INVOLVED" and clearly not based on actual appearance. The European wealthy rulers created the concept for their benefit. It's brainwashing, it's a delusion. It's primitive nonsense. It's a mind control trick, a hallucination. Divide and conquer.

Yes. There is no "reverse" racism. There is only racism.
True. But Candace does have to make a living.
@@davidmarine7174 Basically true, Mr. Marine👍 If there weren't issues like racism to be discussed, what else would Ms. Owens be doing with her life and time, sir??🤔
My daughter is mixed, and if you ask her, she will tell you that. She also says that black women are the ones who have been racist towards her.
black people tend to be very critical of black people who "don't act ghetto enough." They automatically call them massa or some other dumb name. It's a shame.
I’m a mixed man, and I get racism from black people too. There is a lot of racism, gaslighting and objectification from black people towards mixed people. Most of the racist stereotypes of mixed people come from black people.
@@benscr be honest why do you think that is?
Black women can be horrible!! I'm black and have been treated the worst in life by other black women!
As a Nigerian tourist visiting America (NYC) for a few months in 2015 I was surprised that 99% of the hostility I received were from the back Americans 😮. They were mostly unfriendly and unresponsive when I ask for help with directions, I even encountered one who mocked my African name. It was a terrible experience. On the other hand, the whites I encountered were mostly polite. This runs very contrary to what is being portrayed in the American movies and the constant claim of racism by the native black Americans. 🤷🏾♀️
I'm "biracial" and my mom raised me as "black" because the nurse at the time told her I was "black" if my father was. I was just always me and my mom exposed me to "black" culture my whole life but I was never afraid of my "whiteness" either. I fully embraced heavy metal, rock, as well as rap, soul, r&b, pop. Everything except country music. I was always too "black " for white people and too "white" for black people.
Also i grew up with other "bi-racial" cousins who denounce their "black" side so its false that we "ignore" our "white" side cos theyre whiter than white people.
Truth is we're alienated by both. And typically don't know what to claim cos there's always an issue claiming either one.
I was relieved to learn that I'm actually Cherokee and German on both sides so since then I claim my nationality and not my "race"
It’s amazing this comment has only this reply
I was about to say the same thing! As someone who’s mixed with 3 different “races” I never felt I belonged to any of the three mainly because of how people in those groups treated me. But I understand how mixed folks who are more accepted by one of the races or who phenotypically look more like one of the races would identify as that. Many bi-racial folks identified as white and tried to “pass” for the same reasons Candace is saying that some only identify as black. A generalization such as this doesn’t produce veracity because everyone’s circumstances are different.
Now the only thing I identify as is a child of God and a Christian 🙌🏽
She is one wholesome black beautiful human being.
She’s not pure African..nor is her name..could SHE be ‘mixed race’ back there too? If so..why is she speaking on behalf of ‘black peoples’ and their day to day? It works both ways!
She is clearly not ‘underprivileged’ either (think about what that starting point means).
Today..more and more ‘white people’ are underprivileged too - but they will still have a 60-70% advantage applying for many ‘middle class’ jobs..even if they were homeless and drug addicted on the street 12 months back.
Once cleaned up, just being ‘white’ is still an advantage for higher paid work - likely to get a person a job more, than most clean-living, single income ‘black-identifying’, sub-culturally ‘African-Americans’.
Those are the present stats. So..whatever Ms Owens..you’re a bloody know all, with plenty of family and personal support. You are not ‘the ‘average black American’.
It’s a total myth of (undemocratic) capitalism, to assume ‘anyone can make it anywhere if they try’ when you just have to look at black vs white wider representation in society everywhere.
Don’t even start on ‘Hispanic’ or Native American people’s chances of fair chances and representation.
A system to support those who lack support, is at least a leveller.
@@clairew2184she is African American stop trying to mix up her race because you can’t take the truth of a intelligent black woman. She definitely can speak on black people.
As a mixed person I’ve always hated when anyone says I’m just black. No I’m black AND white. If I can’t say I’m just white then I can’t say I’m just black.
To be totally honest, l wished us dark skin bla cks would stop claiming even a person with 1% black heritage to be bla ck..that is also destroying the race.
Worst of all, others say that racially mixed individuals happen to be what their fathers are out of ignorance
Correct me if I'm wrong ,,,,wasn't it those slave owners whom said if your 1 % black/ African then your just black plain and simple ?
See I agree with you 1000 percent as a bi racial person myself it's people all the time telling me what I am or what I'm not considering they don't have my DNA results nor does anyone whom assumed anything about anyone's racial dynamics,, now if you notice unless that certain black person is a die hard conservative Gop Candice denounces blacks considering I assume she's black or at the very least part black which I'm positive she wouldn't want anyone' to denounce her part black kids so you'd think she would be more accepting of all races and skin tones not just
WHITE and ORANGE !
More importantly WHY DO WHITE PEOPLE IGNORE
MIXED PEOPLE WHITENESS OR BETTER STILL WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT RACE AND OR SKIN TONE ANYONE IS,,,,
((( AMERICA)))) ??????????
It may depend on how they present
If you have afro hair, and slightly wide nose, you could look black
I am biracial and I've always told people that I am not black and I am not white, I am both. I won't deny either side.
I mean scientifically speaking this is just the truth
I always said Obama was not black he was redbone Irish 😂
I was just about to make a comment about this, thank you!!
My mother is white and my father is black - without those two realities, I wouldn’t be here. I could care less about how people identify me, I can’t help their ignorance. But when people are emboldened to ignorantly ask me “what are you?” I simply say I am both races - BECAUSE I AM! I don’t call myself African American either because I think that is silly. They don’t call themselves Irish American or German American or Dutch American, Finish American, British American…you get the point. But for some reason I’m supposed to be “African American” because I’m half black, that’s stupid!!! I’m American. Plain and simple. When I have to fill out race questions on my doctors forms, I say “human”. I’m over it! This racial division crap is the silliest thing ever!! People need to stop falling for it.
There are plenty of “mixed” or biracial people that feel the same way I do. I completely embrace my black heritage - on my black side, we’ve been here longer than a lot of so called white Americans that do have the privilege of calling themselves “American” . There is an obvious expectancy for people with black (or African heritage if you want to get specific) heritage to call themselves black. But it’s not always because it’s a benefit. Candace is wrong on that.
I find it interesting that people who haven’t had the experiences as a bi-racial human being think they are an expert on what all of us think. We all have different view points and ideas about how we racially self identify - and not always is it with a sinister mindset.
You’re right, and people should stop saying Obama is black when it’s not true.
Good for you. I look forward to the day we just look at each other as human beings w/out any skin color notations. It’s so conditioned in us I’m 73 and I have to work on it/retrain my thought patterns
As a mother of one bi-racial child and one mixed race child. I always teach them to love both races equally and acknowledge the history behind both as well.
Sometimes the black side of the family is more accepting of the biracial child.
BOOM! I’m mixed but my grandmother is the only person who ever spoke to me on the white side of my family. They don’t even acknowledge her existence so they’ll never acknowledge me or my dad. I don’t even know what they look like… crazy because I’m related by blood to some blond haired, blue eyed white peoples out here in California somewhere that wouldn’t even give me a warm meal if I was starving. So as far as I’m concerned, I’m black.
Why are "BROWN SKIN" people called, BLACK? Europeans PRETEND to be, so-called WHITE? How Do We BENEFIT From This Great Pretend Game?
We versus THEM? Pretending that people are opposites of each other = CASTE SYSTEM
Just think, this is 2024, and we continue to allow ourselves to be brainwashed, to call ourselves and others, "black" and "white," when neither are actually those colors. It's all make believe to create divides and peg people against each other. It's NO coincidence that Europeans or European Americans are so-called, "white" and Africans, or African Americans, have to pretend to be, so-called, "black." There is "ZERO SCIENCE INVOLVED" and clearly not based on actual appearance. The European wealthy rulers created the concept for their benefit. It's brainwashing, it's a delusion. It's primitive nonsense. It's a mind control trick, a hallucination. Divide and conquer.
"You do not win by struggling to the top of a caste system. You win by refusing to be trapped within one at all." ~Naomi Wolf
Sometimes the white side treats the children better than the black side. I've seen it many many times.
True. My bestie is biracial. Her mom's family never accepted her and her other siblings as half caucasian..so she never identified as biracial.. she prefers to be called black/african (Senegalese). I told her eventhough your mom's family didn't admit you as theirs it doesn't erase the fact that she's half white.. She acknowledged that this feeling coz of rejection from her childhood trauma. She did the same thing to her daughter who is half asian as she refers her daugher as black. She looks like east asian decent with african hair so she doesn't see herself as african coz she looks like her father with her mom's hair.
Sometimes, it's the other way around.
My mom is from Africa and my dad from Ireland. I've ALWAYS identified and felt great pride in both sides of my heritage.
When I see other mixed ppl insisting they're black, it sounds so illogical and sad that they have an obvious identity crisis.
Perfectly said
Right! I’ve always said mixed people are “mixed” not “black” but I’ve gotten into arguments because of that 😅literally makes no sense/
I always said a mixed person is mixed not just black. You cannot remove one part of their makeup, it is what it is.
@@preciouschild5490 apparently it’s because of the old “one drop rule” so if you had a little bit of black In you, then you’re “black”. Sophia Richie is on record saying she’s black lol
Honestly , I don't care what others think they are . When a university and PhD professors say that "mixed kids are black" and not half black-half white , then this becomes a social issue .
Bro I've seen black people saying that Cristiano Ronaldo is black because he has ONE black grandmother .
In fact, black skin color is just a very dark shade of brown. White skin color is just a very light shade of brown. Everyone is merely some shade of brown. None of that speaks to a person's most important trait: that of character. MLK
Well said
Bruh race is a social construct made by humans. We are literally all the same.
And all of our babies are born pink. Hallelujah. I believe the black man is, in origin of humanity, our great great great times 5 grandparents of us all.
Great comment
Wrong. White skin has no color.. remove all the blood and it will be white as snow
"Racism is a competitive relationship between groups of people to acquire and control the ownership of resources."
- Dr. Claud Anderson
I hate when people quote other people. The difference between you and a parrot is you tell me who you are parroting. Which is good if you're being graded. "Whites only", isn't a "competitive" relationship. And you say....😂
My daughter is mixed, and I will not allow folks to say she's black or white, she's both. When she was in school before we pulled her to homeschool, the test they give at the end of the year, they would always select black for her. I told them not to do this and to either put other or both races, it's ridiculous in the first place that this question is asked, but I am sure there are benefits when you put down black. We will never get over racism, until we get over racism. I choose to be part of the human race who's an American.
My son is biracial. I am Irish my wife is black and native American. We raised him to understand our cultural heritage. He is not confused or ashamed. Society will always view him as a black man though and we tought him to understand that. We raised him with manners and to respect others unless they disrespct him. We don't deal with ignorant people. We are all Gods Children.
Absofreakingloutly 😊
God bless your family
Amen!!
As where I grew up, if you had .001% African blood in you, you were supposed to be declared as black on your birth certificate. I think it was the 1 drop rule or something. I never understood this, but as I got into high school, I saw people that were about as white as I am that had a great grandparent that was black, so they had black checked on their birth certificate use affirmative action to get basically free or nearly free secondary education. What was sad was when they told black skinned kids they were considered black, they would get picked on for basically lying about being black.
God made us all but we are not all his children... Only the people who except HIM as their Lord and Savior ❤
As a mixed child I grew up with my white mother in her white world. I went to a white college and married a white man. I was in my mid 30's before I met a black person. (I don't remember my father and his family, I was around 3.5 when my parents divorced.) When I came across a black person, it was a wild experience. I knew in my head we were the same race, but our language, accent, vocabulary, clothing, attitudes, life experiences were so different it was like meeting an alien from another planet. My mom worked hard to teach me I was the same as everyone around me, skin colour be damned. I shall forever be grateful that she didn't see colour, oppression, advantage, etc. She just saw people. By the way, as a single mother in a rural area in up state NY, we were poor. No advantages other than a mother who believed in me.
@margaritgerman. I grew up not meeting my father till I was 13 and after meeting him, wondering what my mother saw in him. I grew up with a black mother in a white neighborhood and suffered racism that I couldn’t identify till I got much older. Only the racism was not from my peers and God blessed me with mental capacity that was above average. So I learned quickly that the outside didn’t determine the inside. AND there were people of good and poor character of all races. I just focus on being one of the good ones.
You were in your 30's before you MET a black person? Lies...
Your moma was very smart..we ,in my family grew up with no colour too.everyone was and is equal..GOD BLESS YOU..❤
Elmira area?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's not your color, it's your upbringing. I'm absolutely certain that Candace was not raised in Compton, CA...SMH
The one-drop rule was a legal principle of racial classification that was prominent in the 20th-century United States. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of "black blood")[1][2] is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms). It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.
Yes but the people who she's referring to not only did they not live through that time but neither did their parents or even grandparents and yet they act as if their personal experience and whole life and family has been held down because of slavery when in reality the last 4 generations have been living off the government dole with absolutely everything paid for never working a day in their lives.
You hit the nail on the head!! Candace Owens is being disingenuous as though she doesn't know why this happens....and it's sad.
Mixed race children will be called black by white people. Fact.
@@thebluerose7648 What are you? Plum stupid? As if history doesn't shape the present.
Wait black people have advantages? Sign me up what advantages do we get ? Cause I haven’t got none yet.
Black people don't have any special advantages. And White people also don't have any special advantages. We are all struggling humans.
What advantages do white people get? I keep hearing about this 400 year head start but I got no head start.
@@keeblertime1486 You're just being obtuse right? If you don't understand what generational wealth is then you should not even join a conversation. Also, of course not all white people are rich but the system is set up for you to succeed. Black people were not allowed to own land, go to school, read, buy a home, or own a business. That is what is meant by "head start". White people ALWAYS had those privileges.
You get scholarships, college admission, trial acquittals, jobs, etc., solely because of the color of your skin. Whereas it's illegal for anyone to do the same for White people. If you're Black and under 60 you've known a life of nothing but privilege.
@@keeblertime1486I could explain it to you but I can tell it would be one of my greatest waste of time moments.
Reverse racism is just regular racism. There is no distinction.
And affirmative action is not racist against anyone, either. I agree with your point, also.
Hey yeah. No euphemisms.
You are missing the point
@@kimmnguni affirmative action is the definition of racism.
The case she was making about reverse racism is racism 🙄. She being sarcastic people OMG… lol 😂
I am mexican and ive grown up in a a neighborhood that is 99% white ive only experienced racism from black people my whole life
I agree.
Many people in America share the same experiences as you. No wonder. It's always the same race that's actually being actively racist towards people that aren't like themselves.
Me too but I’m Asian
I’m black. I’ve only experienced racism from other black people.
I've experienced racism from Hispanics.
What’s astonishing to me is how people can be half black and half white mixed race but they’re mysteriously just “black”. 😂
Whites made the rules. Mixed could never sit with whites, only blacks. Why are you playing games? One drop rule came from whites.
My boys are mixed and they get called the N word at school. They were told they don’t belong there. While my husband and do our best to raise our boys to know you are mixed with both, most the world does not see that. We can teach all we want as parents, if there is not teaching overall the problem continues to grow.
We still have to admit there blacks still have snuggles fitting in. My boys have to go through all the hate on a daily basis at school. I have to teach them to ignore it and report it.
Candace follows her own drummer. Unfortunately racism has existed since the discovery of the " New world 🌎 " and slavery. It was brought over with the idea of colonialism. Maybe even B4 then with the Crusade? One need only read history. Racism is wrong no matter which group practices it. I have grands of mixed race and they don't have a problem identifying with both their heritage b it black, white or east Indian. Yes my family is a United Nations! My family welcomes all nations I am proud to say.but I am familiar with what Candace is saying. I have eyes. Racism has truly screwed up our way of thinking and should be erased. The Creator made variety.. mankind took a decided down turn. Certain advantages wouldn't exist if not for racism Candace. Although I wouldn't call them advantages really. Displaying equal opportunity towards different ethnic groups should be looked at as a "given" it is only because we all realize that opportunity is most often enjoyed by those of a particular race that all of this BS came into practice.
One thing about Candace she’s not afraid to speak the truth
Black in not a recessive trait, its a dominant trait we’ve all learned that in biology in middle school. She asking a really stupid question.
I guess race mixing can lead to problems.
Except in this case she is telling a lie. Black people don't have any advantages. Usually when a mixed person looks like a mixed person if they say that they are White, people will laugh at them. If they look White they usually will say that they are White.
She's not being facetious she's being dumb!!!!!!
Its not the truth just cause she speaks words now we know you believe anything and easy to be gaslighted let me guess your full blooded just like candice so how would u know she going off a PhD funny how that PhD she said would know was he mixed eejit no thinking ppl 😂😂
Anybody who says blacks cant be racist is racist
Anyone who says this without knowing the scientific official definition of racism is not knowledgeable enough to entertain in discussion. This is not to say blacks cannot be racist, it's simply very very very rare based on its definition. Hint the definition IS NOT bias due to race. That would be a form of prejudice
@@LadybeetleMaddox I suggest that you take another look at the definition of racism, because it is very clearly predicated upon racial or ethnic prejudice. Racism is just a term used to describe a form of prejudice. There is no such thing as a form of racism that is exclusive to blacks, or any other ethnic group. Racism is evil, regardless of the reasons, intent, or shade of melanin behind it. There is only one human race with different ethnicities, anyway, thus, the term "racism," is, technically, a misnomer.
EXACTLY,,,,SEE ILLUSTRATION
ye
What is racism exactly? The uneducated and uninformed will equate racism simply in terms of racial hatred but will ignore the more insidious nature of what it exactly is. What is racial bigotry? They are clearly not the same thing though the common denominator is hate.
Racism is about a socio-economic system of power and advantage solely based on the premise of racial superiority. Those that support said system are called racists. Hate is not a prerequisite for racism but simply an evil byproduct of it. Thus, calling Black people racist because they hate the system of racism and those that support it is simple diluting the word. Black people, on the other hand, can be equally irrational and can become racial bigots. Since Black people other than Owens do not support, defend and promote racism, calling Black racial bigots racists is just a clever way of diminishing racism and the word racist.
Easy answer...people mixed with black always had to identify as black legally. They were enslaved, had to ride on back of the bus etc. Look up the one drop rule
it depends on the circumstance i went an all white highschool and those white kids were brutal to biracial kids. They made fun of their hair they called them oreo they made fun of their skin color. They called them terrible names. I dealt with racism as a black man but they got it wayyyyyy worse.
1st. As a mixed guy, I always found this strange
You are not black or white,, you are both😭
Mixed ppl shouldn’t identify with white or black but just interracial, you guys have your own special category
@@ariellove6020 i agree
Because in America if you look blk you get treated blk. Look how y'all treated Obama? He was mixed
Same here
I have white skin and am legitimately Native American. Nearly every race has "white" and "black" skin colored people. For this reason- skin color shouldnt be used to judge someone. Character counts.
Best comment here 👍
TRUTH!
Weird. I woke up thinking about this. You are 100% accurate. I dated a Portuguese man with black hair black eyes his two sisters were 1 with brown hair lite brown eyes the other blond with blue eyes. Same Portuguese parents. That's why we shouldn't judge but if we do it needs to be on character not color.
There's many, many reasons why...not just one.
Thank you because I am native and blk it needs to stop who blk who’s this it’s stupid
As a mixed child! Neither the Blk or white community has ever accepted me. But because my skin is brown enough I just say I’m black 🤷🏽♀️
That's not how it works, mixed is mixed
I have asked that question for years Candace. Racism is racism no matter what color your skin is.
It's funny how racism didn't exist in Africa amongst the Black Africans who were different shades, but was imported in by all other races including the Europeans. Now why is that you suppose?
and it is ugly no matter who wears it!?

How about Obama? First black president not first mixed president?🤔
No such race called mixed. If u are not white or asian u are black or brown. Obama is a light skinned black man.
He had to identify that way to get VOTE. He was used by his handlers, that’s why just a few days ago with the testimony of decaprio the 30 million Odama got paid for his 2012, campaign came from countries outside US, and is illegal.
Was just about to mention Obama. Everyone always seems to forget he's just as much white as he is black 🤷🏻♀️
Biracial
&both were raised in "white culture" having little to no contact with their black fathers/families 🤔
Mixed race woman 🙋🏽♀️ here. I have never identified as black nor have I ever identified as white! Do you know why? Because I am mixed, and a blend of both. I am Café Au Lait and proud of my mixedness and I will never deny either of my parents existence in my life. I come from both beautiful and proud cultures and peoples and no one will ever take that away from me and not will I ever pick one side over the other. I will and always will call out the bs from both sides and I will defend either side when it is called for. I am a Brit and I have never understood the US obsession and mindset on race and colour. But now I am seeing it creeping into Britain and I am sad because the US race politics is setting Britain back and destroying what my grandparents had fought for in Britain. Britain was more progressive and doing better and was on the right track until Americanism's critical race theory infiltrated and infected our country.
Because traditionally a drop of black blood meant you were not going to be accepted as anything but black.
I went to a pool recently with my white son and he desperately wanted to play with a group of black children in the pool. He asked if it was ok to play with them so the kids asked their grandma if they could play with my son and the grandma said no cause my son was white. He’s a 5 year old little boy just wanting to play with other kids. No color needed to be involved. Very sad.
Wow that's how kids learn hate!! I'm sorry ur boy had to go through that!! Kids are innocent and just want to learn and love !
That shows children have no racism in them, it is learned! I brought my kids up to like everyone, that we are of one human race.
I’m sorry that happened to your son. I’ve raised my kids never talking about skin color or race, but instead to be kind to everyone. My toddler son’s 1st best friend was a little black boy. It was the cutest to see them running around as innocent little kids.
Always an old minded racist in the bunch.

I think you are what you look. Unless I mention it most think I'm black. Whiteness is no secret. But white people have attempted to attribute all my great qualities to my whiteness. Which left me in defense of my blackness.
Maybe not jump to conclusions on things you don't really understand 👍🏽
No. You have to go back and do an indepth understanding. Why they tend to identify with black is because it is a fact that black people are more accepting of people of mixed with black as compared to white people accepting towards people of mixed with white. Friends of that background speak about that all the time
I'm so glad she said. I always heard from this older lady that if you're mixed with black, you're automatically black. 🤔 No, you're biracial. It isn't that hard people. Acknowledge both parents' races.
My family was taught blk always meant light skin or darker ans technically its what it means by Americas basic social construct. But if you mean blk as in African ethnicities, then you must realize its no actual percentage. My mom light skin ans multi generational mixed from her but its ppl everywhere in Louisiana area with just 1 yt grandparent ir great grandparent and come out 25-50% European. Its no actual percentage and normally when both parents light skin or darker, our parents put African American box. And that's why when ppl say they half and half blk for example, i can't automatically assume It's someone a lil admixed because of slavery (10-20% European if they honestly don't know a recent ancestor), but instead I'm thinking its ppl just as mixed as a hodgetwin fir example. Even they know the recent ancestor and say they African American. Ppl saying blk howni explained as a basic social construct is common sense imo but i do wish ppl would keep Mixed on census so we can get an American only option one day.
America laws made a person from black and white parents black. Owen's is a ignorant person. While people rejected black and white people. Black people accepted them. Owen hates the She is black
That you're considered black if you have a drop of black blood in. You was started by white supremacists. So for a biracial person to claim they only are one race or the other is feeding into the white supremacists ideology.
You white asf y’all white back then never clam y’all mixs famliy members so….
I know black families that tell their kids they are BLACK. Others teach that they are mixed. So it's in how they are raised.
This is a woman, who is wise beyond her years.

And EVERY peer! straight and smart and basically incredible!!!
No she’s not
I could be incorrect, but I believe you put your comma in the wrong place.
Neither side will fully accept you. But your black side will definitely accept you more.
What about someone who is 1/4 white but look black? Do they have to tell you about their 25%? The majority of African Americans have at least 15-25% caucasian dna. So this is a very nuanced subject matter. You’re completely oversimplifying this Candace. With all due respect.
I have biracial boys and I will never allow them to ignore their white side. I will not tell them that their only black and ignore their fathers side. Their father is very important part in their life and I would imagine how bad it makes the white mother or father feel when their child says “Im black and completely ignore their white side. That’s horrible and I will not allow my boys to do that to their father. They will be proud of who they are and love both sides.

I pray for people toting hatred in their hearts for anyone; it will make them sick and old.

It wouldn’t matter even if everyone did. Not a person alive would have a squeaky clean ancestry. We have no responsibility for what our ancestors did.
If the white people hadn't fought and died to change the rules and abolish slavery, black people would still be slaves, and, I might add....sold into slavery by other black people that captured them so they could steal their lands in Africa.

I’m biracial. After being treated as less than by black people growing up, I wholeheartedly support my whiteness. I’ve never been treated bad by white people. If biracials identify only as black, it gets them the attention they seek.
You are a liar!!! And you are not biracial!
But they don't accept you as white, do they? Black ppl are the most lenient race to mixed race ppl.
Facts
That's your experience, you likely grew up around mostly black people. There are biracials who were mistreated at all white schools because they weren't white.
You base that logic on your experience because some biracial people have had it the other way around.
Exactly Candace! There is no such thing as reverse racism, just racism!
She meant racism is one sided its ok for blacks to be racist vs whites but not vise versa. (Politically) so she called the opposite of that a reversal of the norms. I think she understands quite well what racism means.
Thank you candice, I'm mixted and feel the same and so do my children. Embrace our mixted heritage
I can’t believe we are still on the racism train. We have brilliant minds inventing awesome things, we have those that see a broader spectrum and enlighten the masses, we know and have access to so much knowledge. Yet we are still stupid! I only ever not like someone if they are a jerk to me. How hard is it?
In Britain we call affirmative action ‘positive discrimination’. They are literally rubbing our noses in it with that terminology.
In America, affirmative action benefited many people including white women. There is no more affirmative action in America and I didn't see or hear black people fighting to keep it.
I think a lot of black/white mixed people identify as black because that is how they are perceived. That being said, I hope they take pride in both their white and black heritage.
People like identifying as on the side of the oppressed or victims because it appears morally superior.
That's a lie.
Meghan Markle DOES NOT look black.
Claepperd1ck looks like a white person with a tan.
However, both of them know saying they are black and playing multi-millionaire victims is very profitable.
Also, your upbringing and what you see in the mirror has a lot to do with it.
No, it's how racist white Democrats labeled them back in the 1960s and they are stuck with it.
Besides, they are too hateful to express their white side.
Obama was mixed, look how y'all treated him?
I'm white and I ignore my "whiteness" cause it's not a thing. I really don't understand racism. Truthfully. How skin color can determine personality... 🤷♂️
Candace, my kids are biracial and I taught them to embrace both sides. You are an amazing mother I know. You keep telling the truth and we will listen. God bless you sister.
It's still unnatural and they are by definition mongrels stop using God in reference when it's clearly against his natural law.
They can NOT "embrace both sides". That's a fantasy. There is no such thing as "biracial". HOW? The parents are the SAME RACE, different colors. If one of you is Black and the other is White, in America, your children are Black. Don't screw up their heads. American society will give them a ride awakening.
Same ❤
You ever heard anything about the one drop rule, bruh? I'm half asian and half north african. My baby momma is german and my son pretty much looks white. In Germany, where I was born and raised, a couple of white people still view him as different looking. There are enough white people out there, who view mixed people as just the minority part. You either are black or white and when you are white passing, they don't see the blackness anymore. Look at Halsey for instance. She's a third black, but doesn't look like it. It's not us who choose this crap. I never think about my eyes and my dark curly hair. It's white people that remind me of that.
While, there are many things I can agree with Candace Owens on, this is not one of them. People who have both white and black parents often identify as black because society sees them as a black person, although fair skinned. Therefore, it would seem absurd for them to call themselves white. Furthermore, there are fair skinned black folks that have both black parents that many would assume them to be of mixed race when in fact, they are not.
Thank God for civil rights activists like Candace Owens. 🤗❤️🇺🇸
She i
Candace is awesome❤
She only advocates for white rights

In Cameroon and in France, Mixed people are called „métisse“. I never understood why in the US they are all black
in Canada the term used to be "mulatre/mulatto" and that's what the caribbeans said too. all of a sudden some people decided mulatto was "racist" and we should call mixed afro/euro "métis"... but in Canada there is a particular type of native who are already called "métis" (pronounced meh-tee)!!
My mom is white, dad black. I am black. The only reason “white” and “black” exist as “racial” category is because white people needed to be able to distinguish the difference between black and white “slavery” as separate institutions. White slavery was (effectually) indentured servitude. Whites slaves lived under the common definition of slavery. For example, slavery was not perpetuated to their children. By contrast, MIXED children of slaves and slave master, were originally freed upon the master’s death and inherited all or a potion of their father’s wealth. However, the one drop rule was created so non white males COULD NOT inherit wealth. Black was black, no matter the amount. So…. If we intend to change the original definition created under the law, let’s simply do away with color as race instead of creating just another divisive category…
Race-obsessed. Awesome word, and so APPROPRIATE !!!
People become like this when they not comfortable with their black skin. Later òn it is all they can think and talk and argue about. Totally obsessed.
No all I can think about is systematic racism. Like when they watch me at the self cash out but when I look over u see an elderly white woman stealing everything cause they don't watch y'all. Or when I go to the hospital all they think is u want pain pills when I just wanna know why my stomach hurts oh I was full of boop all was needed was an x-ray and laxative meds. Or when I go for a bank loan my white friend recommended and has a lower credit score than me and still gets the loan but I get told no with a higher credit score. I don't feel uncomfortable in my skin white people are afraid of my skin. My skin is a problem with you. You don't want me as a neighbor so I can't get the loan on that house. I must be stealing cause white people don't steal. Black people can't have that much money in the bank so let's call the police and hold her check. It has nothing to do with race obsessed. It is about being treated fairly and their are no numbers to back up the injustice done to us. You don't believe it cause you are blind and it does not matter to you. But hunny let me tell you I am comfortable in my skin. And so is my white husband who sees the injustice everyday. How comfortable are you in your white skin. Are you comfortable enough to stand up and say something or will you sit back and believe everything Candace has to say about blacks cause it must be true because she is black and married well so now she is above most blacks so she has a right to talk down on black people to make herself look wonderful gtfoh with that race obsessed you have no idea.... ❤️
You look like a h**ky lol speaking on something you have no need to insert yourself in. Candace is the only education you have on black folks. Do so research on Candace who had NAACP help her win a discrimination lawsuit against her black skin. Yeah she won. She knows what it is like to not feel comfortable in her own skin. Ask her to talk about that loyal fan...
Most black people are obsessed with race. It's all they talk about whether or not the conversation is relevant.
Nice face, hermosa.
I've thought about this. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and the history we're taught is that we are a mix of white spaniard, black slaves and the native Taino indians of the island, but it's always the latter two that are fixated on and the ones that we're always told we should be proud of being. The white third always seems to get omitted from the cultural pride discussion.
That is sad and unfortunate that of the three races that you are, the others are celebrated and the Caucasian race gets ignored.
…What’s beautiful is that anyone can choose to be a good person who sees the beauty in others, if they have goodness also, and if people are hateful, we can choose to show them love to the best of our ability so that they, too, can love their neighbors and be happy!
Jesus Christ had the correct prescription for those who find fault with others! He was called the great physician! Love your enemies! Pray for those who despitefully use you!
If we would just follow the Two Great Commandments to:
Love God
Love your Neighbor
…we would get along with everyone and there would be great peace in the world!!! ❤
Jesus truly was “the Great Physician” of the soul!!!
…Do we have enough courage and strength to follow Him?!
_All races_ should be treated as equal value, instead of dissing one particular race... _for any reason!_
If the Arab Israelites conquered Spain 🌹 then you could be a part of the Hebrew bloodline. Funny how that's never brought up!

I don’t like when they negate the white side when the white parent is the one raising them
That is exactly what happened with my white friend's three black children. They don't like white people even though they were raised by white people. Their black dads all abandoned them.
Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud and just knowing common sense
She is spot-on. Racism needs to be called out and treated the same way in all situations. So sick of it only being called out for the blacks. I for one will speak up no matter what, black, white, purple, green. I have always had the courage of my convictions and unfortunately we have empowered the black community to a feeling of entitlement because of the color of their skin. So wrong in so many levels.
And we are the white supremicists and the white privledgedv? . It seems like the opposite is true. 13% running the country.
💯 correct!! I know growing up and all the way til what 4-6 years ago, Race was never an issue. Everyone got along with everyone, people didn’t base everything on racial issues, didn’t make everything about race which happens now even when the original topic had nothing to do with race. And Racism was called out quick my entire life growing up until like I said 4-6 yrs ago when everything became hugely political and democrats brought race into everything to specifically cause a divide in the American People(not people that are in America Illegally, but American Citizens. That work and pay taxes, give back to our society in one way or another, the ones that have been here if not their entire lives the majority of their lives, have worked for everything they have, obey laws, don’t get helped in any way by our own government, etc) and for the most part POS Biden and his POS Administration have succeeded in dividing our community. Biden, the Democratic party, the media, celebrities etc have pushed their made believe narrative of “everything that’s wrong in people’s lives are specifically due to white people, trying to make slavery an issue and an “excuse” why some people don’t have the lives they think they should have, EVEN THO SLAVERY WAS ABOLISHED IN THE USA ON DECEMBER 6, 1865!! Which was 158 Years ago, so Slavery had no impact(physically, emotionally, financially, etc) on anyone alive today. Democrats knew who they could manipulate and use like puppets to cause a divide, cause the downfall in our country, blame whites and cops for everything and to claim that blacks are being targeted for anything that happens because of their race. The crime could happen right in front of 30-40 people and best believe all 30-40 people will swear on a stack of bibles that the criminal didn’t do it damn well knowing they did, no accountability for the crimes that are committed. Not because the criminals that get arrested committed the crimes they are being arrested for but because everyone claims they didn’t do anything wrong, they were with their (whoever their fake alibi would be at the time) the entire day/night and the cops are only being arrested because they are black(no accountability for the crimes they commit it’s always the cops fault and/or white peoples fault) So trying to use Slavery and Racism as an excuse why “blacks don’t have the life they think they deserve” is just a weak, pathetic way to not take responsibility for not doing what they needed to in order to have the life they think they deserve. FIX YOUR HOMES AND FAMILIES INSTEAD OF BLAMING EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING ON YOUR FAILURE TO HAVE THE LIFE YOU THINK YOU DESERVE. CAUSE I WAS RAISED WATCHING MY DAD WORK 50,60,70 sometimes more than that many hours a week/ multiple jobs/ below minimum wage(one job he had was only $4 and hour) he rode a bike a half hour to work everyday til he was old enough to get his license, to provide for his family, himself and to buy what he/my mom/ and me and my siblings wanted and needed. I WAS RAISED TO NOT STEAL, NOT DESTROY OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY, TELL THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, TO ALWAYS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHATEVER I DID THAT I GOT IN TROUBLE FOR AND DEAL WITH WHATEVER PUNISHMENT I RECEIVED FOR MY FUCK UP. ALSO TAUGHT WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN DECISIONS, ACHIEVEMENTS, FAILURES ETC AND IF WE WANTED A DIFFERENT OUTCOME THAN WE NEEDED TO WORK, STUDY ETC TO ACHIEVE THE OUTCOME WE WANTED IT TO BE.
You think yall have empowered Blacks what a naive statement. I don't agree with how Blacks treat anyone who isn't black less than but nor do I erase people's expierences of them not wanting to integrate with cultures that don't make them feel comfortable and safe. Its entitlement to think people aren't entitled to not want to socialize or deal with people based on their expierences. I say this for any race anyone treats you with hate remove yourself from those environments and stay respectful and keep it moving. Period I don't hold anger towards any culture and just socialize with people open to being kind
It’s a blessing to be of mixed ethnicities/cultures as it shows people coming together/loving one another, no matter their differences. I feel sorry for those that feel they have to pick just one part of themselves to be proud of. I’m much happier embracing them all, as a whole.
ANW714 - As a Mother & Grandmother, & am of an older generation I can't help but feel sorry for what the parents & grands feel when they are of the rejected ethnicity.
Don't those of mixed race comprehend they can accept & enjoy the best parts & cultures of both or more of their ancestral races.
I'm white, but from three different European ethnicities. I enjoy all the histories, including the Irish Famine, knowing my ancestors likely were indentured servants. None of the three were rich & that's usually why it's hard to trace our birth records. But accepting that one fact, I take pride in knowing they were tough hard working people.
It's the same for my other two bloodlines. Regardless of not having specific records & names, I enjoy reading about their countries' history, customs, & cultures - especially the foods & clothing styles.
Candace was right saying the term something like obsessed racism. Someone who rejects part of their own body is to be pitied. That much self-hate about who they are must drive them insane. Hence obsessed racism. There can be no peace within their mind or soul. 😢
My niece is mixed, half Italian half Puerto Rican and she constantly denies her Italian heritage even though she wasn’t even raised by her father who was Puerto Rican. I feel as though it’s a coping mechanism for her beings her dad was never in her life. She did her dna and low and behold the percentage of European was higher than any other. I’ll never get it and I just think it’s so disrespectful towards my parents considering she was raised around them!
Lovely! Thank you 💯
@@Beautytrends77 as a mom of 4 multiracial children, I wonder if maybe there are a few things at play(not that it makes it less hurtful, just understandable).
1)maybe she feels that her dad will "love her more" if she identifies with him??
2)were you always open with her regarding her heritage? Like her whole life? Sometimes when learning something new, kids want to "try it out" and see how it fits them.
3)not trying to be mean, but just your reaction to the DNA test seems like maybe she has never felt free to celebrate or talk about one side of her heritage and now that she can, she is going to...almost as a form of rebellion.
I don't know your situation and I truly wish the best for your niece, your family, and you! I am just trying to offer a bit of input from the outside looking in....from someone who told my children what they were and as much as I could about "their people" because their father wasn't around-and they decided they didn't want him around when he wanted to come back in their lives more than a decade later(one gave him one chance, he didn't show, she cut him off HARD). So they've always been confident in who/what they are, even without dad there to tell "his side"-because I didn't want confused kids or kids that only knew "my side" of themselves.
Good luck!! Will pray for your niece & family!! She will find her way, she just needs to grow up & come around.
@@tammiehinkle2040 my niece was always told about both sides, she has aunts and uncles from her fathers side so she knows about her Puerto Rican culture, she just chooses not to identify with her European side. As I stated she does it as a coping mechanism and yes you are correct she thinks her dad will love her more. No one talked bad about her Puerto Rican heritage either, it was embraced.
I think some try to prove their blackness. Some also may think it garners cool points to be like "I'm Black" or "I'm half Black". It's like White ppl pointing out they're part Native American even though it's like .003% of their genealogy. But ofc being half _ ethnicity or race is more percentage.
You mean the never mentioning of that
Half-rican American who became the most derisive President in history ?????
Most mixed people I've met don't talk about either. They just have a name and personality like anyone else.
The way life should be.
Think what she means is that mixed people don't ever say they are mixed or white, they just identify as black and thats confusing bc if this country was so racist why would anyone claim being black but not mention they are also white
@@darrentibbetts4607 i agree. Way over this race crap everywhere you look
@@argarman09 Because the racists are so much so that they don't care about half. But not claiming one's Blackness would be seen as being ashamed. It is totally stupid. America is fucked up.
True i think Candace is just lame
When filling out forms for decades, we cannot forget that Meghan Markle always marked the box that said WHITE... until she realized that SCREAMING RACISM garnered her more attention and manipulative power.
That's a lie she always claimed what she is mixed!!!
Also why do you white people pretend like it wasn't you guys who created the one drop rule
I know so True but the race card works in her favor now !!!
@@psmith6852 she never identified as white lol, the haters just say this to justify their hatred of her, she identified as mixed which is what she is!!!
@@vaimende from what I have read she did ?? But South Park did them both justice !! Just Saying 😉🤣😂
It’s not just this country that is obsessed. I believe it is the world. I grew up in a black country and I heard race everyday. I am mixed.
Mixed person here who identifies as biracial or mixed at all times. It comes with pros and cons from both sides and we experience a lot of racism from both sides too. I’ve learned to love myself for who I am despite the odds.
It's a platform to whine,
Yeah, I'm biracial - My Mom is white from the U.S. and my dad is black from Zimbabwe, originally. Growing up, in our house we acknowledged both sides, without apology. I'm both and proud to be. I did have people have an issue with this when I was growing up, but I just continue being myself and I'm happy to be both races. :)
You know President Obama's father was a dark-skinned Kenyan? That's probably why some people don't think of him as mixed. Then you got someone like Quincy Jones daughters. Lolo Jones and Rashida Jones definitely look mixed. We should be proud of both sides. 🙏🏼💯
@@Hope...M
And Obama's mother was white.
I am Asian and I agree with the late Martin Luther King's saying that people shouldn't be judged by the color of their skin but by their character.

Very true Candice!!!
I admire Candice's honesty and character.
She is also an intelligent and attractive female.
When a person such as she or anyone else for that matter always speaks from the side of truth then they never have to worry about remembering what they had previously said in the past even if their opinions evolve over time.
My biracial sons know how the world sees them but have never denied their white side. To do so would be to deny me, their mother, my mother & father, & every other white person who had a hand in raising them. Now my oldest son is married and has three children of his own. His oldest has brown eyes, black hair, & darker features while his 2 younger kids are lighter than me with hazel and blue eyes. GENETICS ARE AN AMAZING THING and to deny any part of your heritage is a disgrace and a dishonor to those who are responsible for getting you here.
The best part of your short speech was "...to deny any part of your heritage is a disgrace...". Word!
Isn't it silly that our race is something that people can be negative about? If it's not one race or another, it's a mix of races that people are negative about.
How ridiculous is that? We are way too comfortable in society if we can afford to focus on a person's ethnicity and spend our energy hating them because of where their ancestors originated and what that makes them look like they do.
Your sons are mutants
I can relate to what you saying that we / some people only see/ feel what they want to feel or see.
We as human beings comes from a looong line of mixed heritage,.
God does not see color period,
When Jesus judges us all one day soon, HE ain't gonna say, whites oneside,blacks far left, He's going to judge us according to our fruitfulness and our strong faith in Jesus.
Blessed be

I can understand this completely, based on experiences. My son graduated from high school, and I couldn't wait to have him attend college ASAP. I asked him to apply for financial help as much as he could get. In the end, he only got $500 to cover books costs. So I went to talk to his financial advisor. As we sat and waited, a few black kids came and complained that their free laptops were not Apple brand. One black girl and her boyfriend had a free apartment and said they complained about their cash assistance check. I got upset and got into a Karen mode, so the financial advisor took my son and I to her office. She showed me how the establishment works. She showed me millions of dollars funding for black minorities, black African, Haitian, Somalian, etc... but for white and Asians there was barely any funding at all. White students and Asian had to fight for a handful of grants.
🎯 So, sad. One guy enrolled into college as a black man, they paid everything for him; but they wouldn’t when he applied as white. It shouldn’t be the color of one’s skin but the need of the person.
What a Disgusting country we live in. And No, you won't see white people burning down corner stores because of this. They just work harder.
In mn there was a photo of those getting $16 k scholarships for being underprivledged, whatever. About 20-25 ppl. Every color but white👿
Now THAT is "systemic racism"! You should SUE. Find a legal organization that takes these kind of cases and SUE. The only way things will change is if people stand up and don't stand for it. Racism is racism.
I experienced the same thing with my daughter (white). Valedictorian 4.4 gpa with no community or financial aid and the Mexicans in her class got 4 year full ride scholarships from bill gates foundation and other foundations also got community scholarships so they actually made money going to college and no need for getting a job while in school.
I don't!! Very proud of my German heritage and love me some Candice!! 💯💯💯
I used to do this, I’m half Native American and Caucasian. Now I embrace both 😊
No such thing as reverse racism. It's simply just racism.
The case she was making about reverse racism is racism 🙄. She being sarcastic people OMG… lol 😂
Reverse from the usual use of the word
@@JCRightJustifiedthe "usual use"? Meaning ONLY white people? You're a little dim
She's only explaining how she's offended by any racism, but that she's offended by the fact that black people seem to feel it's ok to call all other people, who are different than them by racial slurs. It's more about the double standard !
It’s only racism when white people are involved. When black on black issues is a form of reverse racism because she’s pointing out why the doctor who is clearly mixed check marks ✅ black instead of mixed raced on legal documents.
I’m a mixed race woman raised in middle class white suburbia in Ontario Canada during the 80’s. I experienced racism from white AND Black people. I was asked ignorant questions from teachers about whether or not I WAS CONFUSED 🫤 because I was “mixed???!?” My black mother raised me and I obviously developed in a way that I identified most with her . Being female also contributed to that. I also was/am aware that the mostly white world in which I must navigate, generally see me as a “coloured or black person.” Needing to accomplish “tasks,” I don’t have and didn’t have the time nor did/does it matter to me what people think. I accept that I am being treated with a level of discrimination and ignorance that I just don’t have time or inclination to address at those times. I do check the “mixed race” box. I don’t reject any part of myself as that would do me a disservice on my journey of self actualization. The world can refer to me however they wish. I generally don’t correct them as that’s “A THEM PROBLEM NOT A ME ISSUE.” Namaste 🙏🏽 I think you are doing a wonderful job Candace. 👍🏽👍🏽
I wish she would read this.
