[@elainelane1946]

Shes beautiful!!!

[@babygirl-vi7ws]

Such a beautiful soul

[@Fallon922]

So basically she’s mixed

[@sebbyg6205]

yeah but she’s like 75% black, still a black woman

[@thirdeyewide562]

Looks more white

[@SoapPreneur1]

@@thirdeyewide562 Skin color is a character just like eye color.

[@kentlong4276]

Rest In Peace.....True black female pioneer.....

[@coffeedreamer4621]

Black?

[@mohammednabil5847]

Well, she’s mixed.. not a 100% black as they showed in the movie.

[@tt_sallie]

but she was 75% black, like most of us. so, she's still black, still "negra" as they would've said

[@tt_sallie]

@@User-ef3zw She was actually 50% Black. Most Black people, including my family, are only about 75% African from what I know. Look it up.

[@thirdeyewide562]

Exactly she is multi racial...not fully black.

[@kyerawatkins755]

Yah, that was the perfect opportunity to have a mixed person play her role

[@tartan377]

10 %Black she got lucky

[@toricooper6978]

Omg she is so resilient

[@lovergirljbj]

What she really wanted to ask is why accept Black when she can be accepted as white because of the color of her skin.

[@luther9678]

because of the one drop rule i’m guessing

[@tt_sallie]

1-drop rule and she used to be a bit darker, she got lighter by age. look at a newer interview and she's even lighter. look at an earlier color photo and she's darker.

[@andalacomessenome]

The perception of race has nothing to do with skin color! Strange. If she lived in a racist African country, they would say she was white... And so on..

[@jaygordon8683]

She Was friends with both of my grandmothers, but she lived 9 miles away in White Sulphur so she went to a different school where my great aunt pearl actually taught her in a one room school house that all the black kids in White Sulphur went to

[@SheriSomething]

[@Ashley91500]

I know this was published to KZbin in 2010 but does anyone know when it was actually filmed? Was it years before 2010 or was it actually filmed in 2010? Thanks

[@msschonheit6800]

When the interviewer asked about her mixed lineage and how were they able to "work that out", I thought, work what out? Every African American person has mixed heritage because the women were misused and taken advantage of from the time the Africans were snatched from their tribes, on the boat ride to America, and all during slavery. They were seen as PROPERTY and didn't have sovereign over their own bodies. My ancestors were black Spaniards (on my grandfather's side), and Creole (on my grandmother's side) . . . Like Ms Johnson said, "it's was just one of those things that happened but never talked about . . . not one word".

[@tatriceshipp9139]

Ms Schonheit Not everyone was raped nor slaves so not all of us are mixed.

[@naelondonuksmith3759]

Exactly blacks have been this shade of color since slavery work what out

[@quanyewhite2231]

Exactly

[@JohnnyRebWasATexan]

The kings and queens of Africa snatched them from their tribes, then sold them to the muslims. The muslims then sold them to the East India Trading company and then brought to America on british ships. Not exactly how you explained it but that's the facts.

[@AaronEstebanSEO]

Actually, that's NOT how "slavery" happened. The part that was left out about slavery that you apparently didn't know about, was that "black people" sold their own "black people" to "the white man" when slave ships docked the coastlines of Africa. White people DIDN'T "snatch black people from their tribes", rival black tribes did this to other black people to capture & sell them. And when black people were finally freed by whites who abolished slavery or who fought against "slavery", what happened? These FREED black people went back to Africa to continue enslaving & reselling their own people & they STILL practice slavery in Africa till this very day! So black people HAVEN'T always been "angels" or "saints" their own selves. Again, you need to look up the "Barbary Slave Trade". There are videos on YT & several books written about it (some "black:" authors as well if that holds any weight to you).

[@2amazing7]

Write a book

[@tchristian6080]

Treated like she was black. Then she is black. A lot of black people me included have alot of white ancestry and not by choice but force. Just stop with this she is not black BS.

[@coffeedreamer4621]

You think she made it to nasa being treated badly? Think a little

[@delir.6488]

Very difficult to listen..
