Passing Me By | The Rundown With Robin Thede

[@taraquinch1256]

A respectful nod to Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Josephine Baker and all the light skinned black actresses who had to endure this nonsense..

[@reneeknight1028]

@Rhiannon Xuela Marie They had the same exact problem back then

[@snatchadams69]

@Zrdgrjrfccdhjzr Jilzdsfegnzrvbu uh...no mitochondrial DNA ultimately determines ethnicity and since we get that DNA from our mothers then it's our that ultimately determines our ethnicity...

[@politereminder6284]

Josephine Baker was beautiful,.and talented, but she dramatically lightened her skin over the years in order to be "acceptable"

[@politereminder6284]

@@snatchadams69 Mitochondrial DNA is not _all_ your DNA. That's just a current limitation of the science of DNA test companies. 🙄. "Race" is an artificial construct. We are all human.

[@politereminder6284]

@D W I see no reason to answer your impertinent question about my mother. That doesn't change anything - especially not science.

[@znayJ]

Robin Thede is so Talented, don't sleep on her

[@janjISMYname]

Too late.

[@alwaysm.i.a10]

I'm just now finding out about her. The next time someone has the "women aren't funny debate." She's definitely getting name dropped.

[@mickbeckett375]

Facts! With an the caps

[@melizmatea]

She is amazing and I only just discovered who she is from watching A Black Lady Sketch Show - she is SO funny on that!

[@dejWA]

I FELT THIS! Robin Thede is a genius, so glad she's getting her shine.

[@Indiegirl007]

That ending got real reaaaaaaal quick. It hit something.

[@dejWA]

RIGHT?! It was already hilarious, but that last bit added a whole layer of comedy (and wisdom) to it!💕

[@sahirygnobehi6448]

BET WE SEE YOU. WE KNOW YOU WANT THEM COINS NOW THAT SHE'S MAKING HUGE ON HBO😁😁😁 #theshadeofitall

[@elmyra.jackson]

BET,your loss is now the globe's gain!! Robin Thede is comic gold 2.0!!!!!!

[@KS-op5hb]

My first thought too! Plus I read ziwe worked as a guest writer on this show and i can see the influence . Sadly she is on showtime . BET sure missed the mark on these shows

[@ris7ahs907]

I like how she bringing awareness of mixed individual struggle to fit in on both their races

[@fg1434]

Salim Sivaad ...... we know that, but the clip was showing that light skin black people are either too light to be black and are not light enough to be white. That’s the whole point of the video

[@fg1434]

Salim Sivaad are not understanding the point? we know she not mixed that’s not what the video is talking bout. she is a light skin black women, light skin black women are either not black enough to be black or not “light” enough to be white. Robin is a LIGHT SKIN BLACK WOMEN, black women don’t have to mixed to be light.

[@CM-zi4so]

ikkkkkk

[@africanlogic757]

@Nikki Rockz she black

[@anandananda9515]

@Salim Sivaad she is mestizo, her ancestor is white or, that is why she is light, her country can be light skin too. she is mestizo, she doesn't need a white father or white mother to be mestizo. As in Brazil, most do not have a white mother or father. the more we have great-grandchildren, and the generations came clearer

[@buttahp]

She looks so throwback Hollywood! Love it.

[@1MarkKeller]

Watch the classic movie, "Imitation of Life" ... a very telling story for that time (1950s) and for now even. One of my great grandmothers would often pass for White so she could shop in certain stores to get things the Black stores didn't have. She would pass off her own kids as, "the house keeper's children" if they were with her while shopping and some White person would ask who they were. Sad times back then, better times now but still sad times now too.

[@jasminee1357]

That movie is beautiful and heartbreaking

[@annmariebusu9924]

Mark Keller I cried at the end of that movie 😢

[@1MarkKeller]

@@jasminee1357 Truth!

[@1MarkKeller]

@@annmariebusu9924 I feel ya!

[@melizmatea]

There was an amazing film last year called "Passing" about light-skinned black women passing for white back in the 1920's (there's way more to it than that, but that's the crux of it.) It is excellent, I highly recommend it.

[@mmt123mimi3]

I just found out about Robin Thede and The Black Lady Sketch Show. I'm not subscribed to HBO but thank goodness for KZbin! I'm playing catch up - Love LOVE love them so much!:) Words cannot express how much I appreciate them! So very talented...

[@melizmatea]

Me too, I just discovered them! Have you watched the sketch "What Up, I'm Three!" yet?! She is hysterical in that! I've watched it about 20 times and I still laugh.

[@zoralewis8974]

I absolutely love this, okay Robin we see you

[@musicjunkie7549]

Robin Thede is killing me.. I Love Her

[@nikkiwilson9581]

I hate I never saw this show on BET. For me, this is funnier than the show she has on HBO. Either way, happy she is getting her shine!

[@stevieporter1]

We need to see you on prime time, a late night show or something. You have mad skills!!

[@TheNefastor]

You made me want to watch Black Dynamite again ! Thank you 🤣

[@khadijah279]

Lmao!!!!! 🤣 yoooooo I’m dying over here when he said I neva saw ya in color I died!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@HisameArtwork]

As someone who is ethnically mixed I can so relate to this. In Ro ppl call me turkish girl. I went to a shaorma shop and ordered in turkish, the immigrant turks there mock me for knowing a few words in turkish, implying I'm a westerner who is trying to seem interesting. I tell them my dad is turkish. They ask from where. I say Dobrogea, they say that's not turkish. -_____- Luckily it's just a few bad apples. I never had any real issues with discrimination in Ro.

[@KerryJr]

Dang, BET really let a gem get away with this one.

[@alwaysm.i.a10]

It's cool, fuckem lol. Issa grabbed her hand and now we have A Black Lady Sketch Show on HBO giving her and more funny black women jobs. It was for the better in the end.

[@waltermoorman3890]

You are correct in your analysis my good lady. I'm from a different era and certain aspects of a person's perspective will always resonate. I have hope for you and your generation because I have the honor of interacting with young people who are open minded and have evolved despite the shortcomings of my generation. I truly encourage you to continue to bridge the gap but please do not discount the experience of the previous generation. Some things may take time but I really hope y'all speed up the process. Peace and love always. 😁

[@sunnyedaize1262]

@Zrdgrjrfccdhjzr Jilzdsfegnzrvbu it amazes me how your type feels entitled to tell other people who they are. You're no better than the arseholes who invented race, used it to erase identity, and continue to try to reinforce their false boundaries. Fact: Every person in the diaspora is *not* a descendant of slaves. Slavery is only a small portion of a much larger, fast more complex hidden history and you all keep falling for it and helping them reinforce it instead of seeking greater truth.
