Amber Rose misses the limelight. That's what it all boils down to.

[@ShimmySha]

Yep she’s aging like milk wish she had her youth back

[@trinaewatkins2804]

Agreed….she is a social climber. I would just stop inviting her to the cookout until she is more respectful

​@@ShimmyShanot surprising since she has mixed white genes and is 40 now, the start of middle age years.

I just hope she finds an actual skill to capitalize off of before she's on the cast of Baddies 😆

[@abenagyampo]

right, i do not care about her endorsing trump. it’s a cry for attention.

[@Kabeyavictoria]

Amber Rose comes from a self hating white and mixed Cape Verdean family in Philly. She said her mother and her uncles aunt were raised not to know their CV culture on purpose because her grandparents wanted their children and grandchildren to be raised white Italian. Amber Rose said in Vlad interviews that she was raised Italian and her family carried themselves like Italians too. She is not even biracial her mother's family are multiracial CVerdeans. The mother must be maybe 35%Afro in terms of ancestry. She looks like a dark skin Sicilian. The family NEVER claimed black or considered themselves black but rather Italian

[@charlajefferson9220]

I thought she was biracial. You learn something new everyday.

[@Morenita570]

So she’s a psychotical…

[@reginayfavors]

Essentially, she used black to get somewhere financially because I would think she would tap into her Italian side to get somewhere. She couldn't.

Something I noticed about Amber rose endorsing trump is nobody slandered her for it but they went out of their way to slander and cancel Sexxy Red for doing the same thing.

[@mayowasworld]

yup I agree, and its because sexy redd is seen as a complete representation of black womanhood. I dont agree with sexy redd endorsing him but I also noticed a difference.

[@moustik31]

That's bec. Sexxy Red actually had Black queer and/or Leftist stans, who were actually in the trenches supporting her against the intra-community "respectable" backlash. Who even cares about what Amber Rose is up to?

Sexy Redd is Black. and Amber Rose is Biracial. Who do you think the menoffear will favours.

[@nmart1n]

What you said about being replaceable is correct. The difference for darker-skinned people, is that we know this. Amber Rose and people like her think they’re always going to be the centre of attention because they are considered “exotic”, etc.

[@moustik31]

Which is sad bec. there is ALWAYS a "less-Black-than-you" preference. Dating according to desirability politics is a waste of time.

[@cmg25]

[@Nottiy]

Its why its so important to build self esteem that transcends that but so many fail to. When you're a woman, you will always be replaced by a newer model, doesn't matter how much of an IT girl you are. You have to be more than how you're stereotyped or you end up acting crazy and look stupid when you fall out of fashion.

[@cmg25]

@@Nottiy The market views women as products to be sold or acquired. The flip side of this self esteem conversation is an interrogation of how the media gives men permission to “shop” for women that are figments of imagination.

As much of our self worth as possible needs to be disconnected from forces that will have us feeling worthless and like our life is to simply be a pretty object. Its nice to dress up and stun but it can't be your retirement plan. You'll end up embarrassing yourself like Amber Rose for attention she used to get easily when she was young and new by simply turning up.

No chrisette can stay gone because she went hard in the paint for trump for no reason. The mistake chrisette made compared to amber was she did not establish enough of a fanbase/career to withstand huge backlash. Amber’s whole branding is controversial and she has a bigger fanbase, so she has enough followers who are predisposed to accepting her off the wall decisions AND when people who can’t support her leave she still has a large group who is in her corner by virtue of having more supporters to begin with.

I hope it's apparent that Amber Rose is not all biracial women. Maria Carey collaborated with Black artists despite her label's negative attitude. Tracy Ellis Ross has worked on shows that center Black successful women. Biracial women can be proper allies, some just choose to be rotten.

[@MIA-fq1di]

Proper allies my foot if that's the case yt ppl can be allies too😂😂😂😂

[@ShimmySha]

[@LP-ct9nk]

White people can be allies. Anyone can. It’s just who do people choose to elevate and believe. The ones who are in it because of true solidarity and wanting equality vs. those who want tv spots and followers

[@doll.ov.poetrii4682]

I personally don't align with them anymore as friends, acquaintances, etc. as a DSBW, I've learned my lesson with them every. Single. Time. Trust me when I say, they have the NERVE to be quick to call BW jealous when I've seen otherwise for years. They are literally the same as WW.

[@MIA-fq1di]

@@doll.ov.poetrii4682 yup they have this animosity towards bw coz they never call BM or other races of women jealous 🙆🏾‍♀️ I feel like they were taught we know by who😂😂😂😂🤭

This in a nutshell is the issue with Tyla. I feel like she is being pushed by the media on black Americans and those who bring up their concerns about her seeking black support while proudly stating how black she is not, are villainized for admiting their reservations. I believe she is talented but I'm tired of every black adjacent celebrity being elevated over people who wholeheartedly embrace their blackness and are willing to ride and die for the culture. The amount of verbal abuse aimed at specifically black Americans who don't blindly choose to accept her is insane. The fact that Tyla after the fall of apartheid in SA still rather be coloured instead of black tells you alot about how much privilege is attached to that categorization particularly in her home country. The issue is not how she identifies but why. It's about a bigger convo about how our communities are still infused with anti-blackness and how many of our racially ambiguous brothers and sisters and even some of our dark-skinned brothers and sisters continue to be quiet and complicit in perpetuating anti-black ideologies. Also how many non-black people in SA benefitted from their adjacency to whiteness. Many people are aware how in the Indian/Asian communities covet whitness and are very anti-black. I read a comment on a post that asked why if she is actually mostly of indian descent she is not going to indian stations to promote. IMO it's simple she's too black, black Americans are trendsetters for the whole world ànd she wants that rubber stamp because whites here might like her but they'd never elevate her over the likes of Miley and Taylor, and most importantly she wants that American money. We are told to stop inviting everyone with a little rhythm to the cookout, protect the culture, support those who support you and when we do people get nasty.

[@MK-hh1vo]

But the issue with Tyla is, like it or not, *she looks Black* so she can't partake of the "privilege" of ambiguity unless she declares that she's "other".

[@Key-Key444]

I’m not a fan of Tyla. She’s pretty yes, but I think we’re tired of seeing your typical pretty pretty “light skinned” put on a pedestal, shoved down our throats and kicking darker skinned women down after everyone has raised them up. Then you get called “jealous” or “mad.”😂😂😂 🥱 We don’t want it. Give us “Aqyila” or somebody 😅

[@MIA-fq1di]

Tyla saying she isn't black but Coloured has got nothing to do with her thinking she's better than blk ppl 🤦🏿‍♀️ that's her race in South Africa she knows in her country she isn't considered a black woman, She literally acknowledges her black ancestry all the time but she knows she isn't blk

[@theblushingbookworm]

💯

[@Lisette121]

Agree. She's being marketed to bp, in blk spaces. She needs to be in 'other' space

[@curlieeloks3032]

[@MK-hh1vo]

Love your take on this topic! Wish you'd brought Doja Cat into it. Technically, she's as "colored" as Tyla. But she wants so much to be "Black recognized" while, at the same time, hating her Black side. Perhaps she's her own video.

[@RoderickSpode]

Lies. DoJa Cat is a Biracial woman. Its self hating Black folks who force Blackness on Doha cat. Look at how mad umar Johnson type Black men got, when they found out that DoJa Cat preference is white men😁 DoJa Cat is Biracial of Black South African and White Jewish Heritage

[@WinxMagicalHero]

Isn’t she just biracial?

[@vinylwaif]

My favorite part of the makeup look is the blue eyeshadow specifically under your eyes ❤❤ I also like the necklace so much!!!

[@rashidareeves78]

That girl talking about the Black community was the realest racist thing I’ve ever heard. She for sure spoke for a lot of people who were afraid to say that out loud! She may have even spoke for some Black people. That is deep and tragic! That’s… wow 🍿

[@Leolove400]

It is not transphobia to not want man in women’s sports. Also she is mixed so if she is not comfortable sitting by why someone talks about half her family.

[@AsSeenOnTV0893]

I regret having seen some of "Light Skin Girls" back in the day even as a lil kid lol. It came off as a petty response to the "Dark Skin Girls" documentary which discussed a lot of the history, traumas, and nuances.

I always learn a lot from your channel. Thank you for educating me on topics I’m not generally aware of(I have a strong tendency to mind my business). Also, your ocean eyes look is beautiful!!🌊💕

[@taylorsmith3785]

First time watching your video and i really enjoyed it. You explained it well. Some people and act like leaches and take and take until they find another source. I think our society is becoming more individualistic to the point where a lot of people are just looking at how a situation benefits them. Not realizing that we need connection too and that only happens when we listen and care for others.

[@maxyneschaw7040]

Your hair looks so good😍

[@Lacavadoe]

I’m so glad you have a platform to speak on these issues.

[@eveb1697]

I love your blue eye-liner!!

[@zaireyoung9520]

I’ve been waiting for another video!!! I love you and admire you to speak about these topics ESPECIALLY being one of the most marginalized of up!!! You’re one of my favorite New Age philosophers

[@e.assatawright2833]

The movies referenced in the video were part of a series of documentaries that were always meant to be part of a set of films. I believe Bill Duke was the director for both. When he came up with the idea, there was always going to a "Light Girls" movie. It's not like the film was done in reaction to the first documentary. For a time, I believe there was talk of a third film in this series. But that third film never happened.

[@silververnallbells191]

Just bcuz Amber got treated as a light skin trophy arm candy does not mean she was accepted in the wider stance. She was always "someone's girlfriend" she was never just appreciated for who she was by herself. You're giving a COMPLETE excuse to misogyny "for some reason who black men pour into...blah blah blah is who we all pour into" HELLOOOOO That's the man as validation for HER existence. When Kanye dumped her y'all was on Kanye's side BECAUSE he is a (famous) Man. MAYBE YOU are too young to remember ALL THE HATE Amber got from black women once she split with Kanye?

[@kennediwhite5580]

Off topic but you look amazing! 😌

[@Heyokasireniei468sxso]

Joyclyn is Puerto Rican she is mixed too and doesn't like black people she was pandering, Joyclyn gets away with so much all the time

[@Men-Rights-Activist]

Black Americans love, brown, black mixed women to represent them even more so than the ambiguous mixed race women. Still can’t understand that no matter what the skin tone is it mixed race person is just that

[@areplica-]

She does pander and does exhibit anti blackness but she is black racially… most of us have mixed ancestry from the diaspora puerto ricans included

[@adreanalangston3771]

Amber Rose not being in "vogue" any longer I think it has more to do with the fact that entertainment culture is YOUTH obsessed. And once a woman reaches a certain age . . .

[@indiabrazilsaudi]

i love your makeup! the shadow compliments you so welll, you’re so beautiful!!!!!!

[@cory.doras69]

blue is my favorite color!!!!!! i love when you wear it!!! love the sparkles~

I’ve always view people claiming Amber as black weird. I been clocked her… her hair is straight but she shaves it off to give it texture and edge

[@CeieAnthony]

SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK!! I've really missed your posts!! XOXO

[@Alisa_the_Wanderer]

Another great video-- thank you! This video emboldens me to call out more non-Black celebrities as...non-Black. Like it really is that simple. And I like the eyeshadow's metallic like look. And the lip combo with the lip liner is 🔥🔥🔥

[@islandgirl8067]

Your makeup is 🔥🔥🔥! It always looks good, but it's especially on point in this video! 😍 The necklace is giving too!

[@BoujiHoodBaby]

Light Skin was horrible Don’t get me wrong as a light skinned person I was picked on/bullied terribly about my color by darker Black people and I don’t like how coloris is discussed among us BUT that doc wasn’t necessary. Her being included when she staunchly expressed that she’s not Black was a hard side eye. The other biracial women that were included are ones that identified as Black.

[@naimamorgan6209]

Amber lost her edge when she got those forehead tattoos. Girl bye

[@thetransparentjerseygirl]

Those tattoos are terrible

[@kimberly8695]

Blackness and/or the Black community is how many people and entities have gained popularity. For example, in the early days of the FOX network, many of its shows appealed to and featured black people...Martin, Living Single, New York Undercover, and In Living Color. When it had gained a decent foothold and was competitive with the big three networks, most of its content became less Black-oriented.

[@tonieboykin8364]

Wow, what an incredible video. Just truth in its rarest and real form.

[@zaireyoung9520]

[@PhilosyNoir]

I really wanted to believe she was just struggling to accept herself and would eventually come to her senses but now I’m just sad for her.

[@LatriceKelly]

Made it to the end. Love the mermaid like colors with the shadow and seashell necklace ✨💜💙✨

[@iris_nazarena_4882]

She's a hypocrite, a wannabe, someone who desperately wants to be accepted by anyone who'll have her. I have a mixed cousin who is a proud member of a certain ethnic community that she has absolutely no biological connection to. So I kinda get it. But at the same time, I just really do not care about Amber Rose's emotional problems. I'm really tired of these pseudo celebrities who have absolutely nothing to offer besides public tantrums and drama. Like go create some art, go to therapy. Do something smh

[@Trashpanda888]
