I don’t understand why being biracial is so hard for people to understand.

Black people need to stop letting mixed people try to be us, saying black comes in all shades from light to dark. No it does not it comes in brown to darker brown .

Black people are just as ignorant about skin color as all of the other races. Black people complain about discrimination, when they are dispensing it. People just need to respect individual people for what they are and respect that. People don't always look what they are. Looks re deceiving

Drake just entered the chat...

Ok then leave us alone. Stop making every video about us and claim no biracial in blk history at all. Not one

Multiracial people adopt principles they are associated with and environment they are associated with and they learn not political sides

YOU DONT!

It's not just your skin tone that's discriminated against in Latin-American countries. It's your phenotypes, and the majority of these people in this video are all airy pale, and their phenotypes are very European. There's only 2 people in here that show indigenous and afrophenotypes and have darker skin.

Please do a video on anti indigenous and Latino culture.

Honestly, I don't identify as Latina or Latino. Whatever people say I'm born in mexcoi was adopted by an American Family. I grew up in Mexico I am a mix but I look more indigenous. I identify more with my indigenou. S side that I do with my other side. The Spanish side. I am darker. I do not speak Spanish though I know Spanish. I can understand it, but I can barely speak it well. Now let me say this thoughbeing from Mexico, there is a lot of indigenous languages there So with people saying that if you can't speak Spanish, which is the language of our colonizers have what they learn and indigenous language, how about nahuatl.

I'm from Mexico over here. Even if you're musty, so if you're indigenous side shows more, you are still discriminated against by the lighter skin. White Mexicans for your dark skin. If you are malado, which is a mix of white and black, you are discriminated against Royal black if it shows. There is a lot of colorism in Mexico and the whiter. You are ethnically and the lighter. You are if you're a misty, so it looks more European, though the more privileged you are. But if you are a darker misty so and your female type show that are say indigenous and if you are malado and you are Afro side shows more, you are discriminated against as well.

I know light skin men who were jumped or beat up for being light skin and a pretty boy. I hung up with a group of guys who were violent. So I was lucky. But guys were regular guys unaffiliated with dangerous people were often picked on, bullied, robbed and jumped on just for their skin complexion.. There is a difference. If your lighter complexion in the black community I suggest always keep a weapon on you.

As a non biracial black man. I have been treated better and shown the most loved by the white community. I have been made to feel less than and put down and belittle by black folks. Me and my brothers are lighter complexion. But our parents are black. We are not biracial. It needs to STOP.

Biracial and monoracial light skin people go through the same thing. The black community treats you like your stuck up when your lighter than.

I have so much to say but I don't know how. Growing up half black half white was a tumultuous difficult experience in its own way. Trying to find my own personal identity wasn't easy. I get prejudice from both sides I have the tow line and be careful. But depending on how black you look is how you're going to be treated on either side. Black people say I'm not black enough or will see some of my tendencies as that "white people" s***. White people see me just as black. My hair is nappy so to the cops I'm always black. No offense but that's just my experience.

Someone in the comment section said they need a bi-racial community so that their voices can be heard. This is one of the reason I like how South Africa is set up! The one drop rule does not apply here at all. Instead, we have a coloured community, indian community, black community and a white comunity. The coloured community represents multi-generational, mixed raced, bi-racial people. If you're just bi-racial/mixed raced but didn't grow up in the coloured community and you grew up in one of the other communities, you're not regarded as coloured because you weren't exposed to coloured culture.

In South Africa we don't have these silly discussions! Our society isn't obsessed with race and they most certainly don't police our identities!

This is one of the problems of black communities. They consider their race as an issue. We white people, don't have these weird conversations about our skin colour.

All black people are essentially biracial , take a DNA test and look at the genetics you inherited…

Im GETTING TIRED of folks saying we don't claim our other half. I don't know what kind of biracials yall use to but honey I claim BOTH BLACK AND NATIVE. Both Black and Native family members love and adore me 🥰 All I got to say is you can like me, love me, or leave me ALONE 🤷🏽💯💥😘

Yes.

The way this panel separates Latinidad from Blackness at the beginning of the video is quite frustrating. Also, why are we calling castes beautiful? The hyper-fragmentation of nowhite populations in LATAM and South Africa was created to maintain a minority (White)-controlled society.

Nowadays we can be whatever we want to be. If u want to be a gotdamn Lion so be it who is it for someone to tell u u can’t be at this point

Yassss Donavannn, you’re amazinggggg ✨❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

That light skin defensiveness is the part that is so invalidating to the dark skin experience. I compare it to nepo babies in Hollywood. Whenever their privilege and access is mentioned there’s this knee jerk reaction to defend their success as opposed to acknowledge the privilege that helped their lives in a huge way. It doesn’t mean you didn’t work hard but it does mean had a little (and in some cases a lot) of help. 38:02

as a dark skin black queer man i love coming back to this video, it's a beautiful conversation that i wish we had more of. 👏🏿!

No one should be saying that word.Only idiots say that word.👎🏾👎🏾😡🤬

people call them animals but In Honduras the island of Roatán is the safest part of honduras and that’s because it’s garifuna african decendanrs, Go over to the mainland and they’re all killing eachother. The white man try’s to divide us but nobody could see that. Americans also have the same issue

All i see ignorance.

Understand, mix race is a experiment to white out black people, the trick is mixed race people have to marry white to make it work for couple generations...it a plan folks ...

Bi-racial people have it hard...because to be black, is to be African culture, which is conflicting to a degree especially in America....mix race can go to interview with little bias, black women are looked at as hmmmm. "Can you change the afro to something more exceptable?" So I guess you can say there is a mix privilege 😢

This is the first time that I’ve seen someone talking about this subject who I absolutely almost 100% identify with and agree with how he feels (the guy in the orange shirt). Being a multigenerational mixed person who is brown skin but having curly hair gets me a million and 1 questions about “what I am,” yet when I say that I am just blk people want to argue.

15:48 this woman needs to preach this amongst all Black and Bi racial people. I 💯 agree 👏🏾 24:00 the masculine if black etc. why they gotta start talking crap?

This convo is specifically for black/ mixed w black ppl only cause all the other races look at u as black no matter how light skinned u are 💯💯💯

Biracial and mixed people are NOT the same as nonadmixture black people. Even Africans are not the same as black americans. It's time for truth and wnough of everyone tryong to find a place amonsgt black folk. We arent the same and that's okay.

Puerto Ricans and Dominicans don't know that they are a mixed race!!!

This is the most stupid thing I ever heard of if you mix your black!!

Biracial is biracial. They are black and white. I don’t consider them black nor white. Furthermore, the people giving them hard time need to heal and love their blackness 1000%. And it’s not solely black peoples responsibility to create a safe for them, humanity needs to get together and do that as a whole. But that’s a pipe dream lol.

I think the reason people feel that we take up space is because many black biracials do!!! I mean lord it’s painful to see mixed kids act so oblivious to colorism. It’s the exact same way white people act when we bring up racism. They want to argue that “reverse racism” is real lol. As a black Latina i think it’s really important for black biracials to call out colorism and texturism. A good example of biracial person making the space for black women to represent is Zendaya. She said in an interview that she will consistently turn down roles that are soley meant for black women, because she recognizes the lack of representation for black women who are NOT lightskin, who have 3c-4c hair etc. She knows that Hollywood favors lighter skin, and looser hair textures, therefore she’ll accept roles that would regularly go to a white person. By doing that she’s still representing the community but also uplifting black women. i genuinely feel that the community would be less hesitant about black biracials coming into black spaces if we CALLED OUT COLORISM and STOPPED USING OUR PROXIMITY TO WHITENESS TO BENEFIT OURSELVES!!!

Hello biracial people life is hell living in a world where race is a consistent issue . I grew up in 50s and 60s . Life has not been good . I have experienced race discrimination from both sides all sides black , white and Hispanics it made me angry at one point . I tried fighting back . I learned to fight back but it made people afraid of me . But I did not like that either . So people did not want me around . After many years and experience of being beat up blacks, rocks thrown at me by whites. Ridicule by Hispanics and witnessing 2 friends killed by blacks . I felt where do I fit in . There was no place for me but alone God wanted something for me . I wanted something better . I wanted to learn . After many years of being alone I learned to draw and I liked it . Became very good at it . I found a job I liked building construction . I could not get another any other job I tried to many times but nothing worked for me I felt stuck at building construction . Many years later I in rolled in collage. What can I study what do I like I don't know , what can I do . I like to draw and I know how to build so I will study architecture but I was told you can't do math in hi school so I learned math and passed . I became a architecture draftsman and designed many building I found some thing I can be along and be happy God Jesus lead the way . For he said I am the way the truth and the life.

Biden as president is NOT stopping the genocide, so saying Trump will kill more as if they aren't being killed ALREADY??! DAILY?!?! HOURLY?!?! F* OFF!! The issue isn't Trump, solve the issue now, which is America, PERIOD!!! THIS IS SO ASININE!!! NOONE SHOULD BE FEELING LUCKY WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP YOUR GOVERNMENT FROM CURRENTLY KILLING PALESTINIANS BY FANTASISING TRUMP DOING IT!!! SHUT UP!!!!

Light skin Black people being grouped with Biracial people, is beyond ignorant. They’re not the same. I’m a light skinned Black woman, with two Black parents. I’m never going to allow dark skin Black people, or any other “people” to dismiss my Blackness. I’m never going to allow Black people, or any other “people” to say that my humanity isn’t ever in question. I’m never going to allow Black people, or any other “people”, to say that I don’t experience racism. I’m never going to allow Black people, or any other “people”, to say that I’m a key holder to colorism.

we are one and stop this stupidness..

Did she just say you should hate you white side? Now if a white person said this they would be dragged

What the hell does Haitian collaborators have to do with everyday regular ppl

To see who is dangerous to you? Someone please explain this

7:23 biracial and mixed heritage people need to put more effort in building their own communities, spaces & categories. Their voices wouldn't be blackwashed, if they didn't succumb to black people "forcing" them to pick a side. Yall wouldn't like white people to whitewash you, so why allow black people?

This convo is so annoying bc ppl don’t understand dna . You can have a puerto Rican mom and African American dad who is 80percent African ancestry and a mom who is 20percent African ancestry and come out70 percent black . Dna does not split down middle it is random and unequal although you get 50 /from each parent what 50 is random . Being black is a social construct . If you are viewed as black and live a black experience you are black we are all mixed African American is literally a mix Puerto Rican is a mix like most of us due to colonization are mixed period . Black is about your experience and how you are perceived bc it is merely social now your ethnicity and nationality is not perception it’s actual . If you look mixed and have a mixed experience you are- if you look black and have that experience you are and even in blackness the experiences are different depending on shade like the girl said her blackness was relative to how black the room was and as a light skin girl with hazel eyes my experience in the hood was different than my experience in Miami and in New York depending on my hair style and my tan ?!? . It’s all silly to me now . We have such bigger fish to fry and concerns that are detrimental to the human race and we still tryna figure out who black ? Sigh 😔
