Speaking of dealing with jealousy, it sounds like the guy at the end is lowkey hating. Making fun of his name and everything else he was saying, just felt like he was throwing shade. Much love to El Debarge and his family, they have been through it.
@terry216514 жыл бұрын
Yes he was being a hater. He was throwing shade. He would only hope to be a musical genius like El. He wrote, produced and plays. Love that family....so much talent. Come to think of it. You know El as soon as you see him and WHO was he....??? LOL

Anyone watching in 2016? How can one guy be so pretty, talented and soft spoken. Bashful yet cute! Reminds me when Michael Jackson would get interviewed. It was such a mystery there where you wonder what's going on in their heads. Exceptionally talented people has the most demons. After hus substance abuse, you don't hear the shyness so much. He sounds more assertive. Life lessons will learn you detn you! Love Eldra! 💕💕

Kieara Tone' Their gifts come from their Black mama. They were with the Black Experience, the Black American Church, etc. They are gifted and talented because of their natural gifts of having African ancestry and being guided by their Black uncles, community, etc. Black is always dominant. Black genes always rules.

@hotmjj4 Because there is a CULTURAL identification. El was raised in the inner city of Detroit, so his EXPERIENCE is the Black experience. He was raised in the Black church and the white world here in the USA will never see him as a white man, no matter how light his skin is. In this country there has always been the one drop rule. He has had the Black experience in the USA. But African American culture plays a big part with El's identity and African American culture differs greatly in the USA
@kristibradford3027 жыл бұрын
Sista's Place agreed. the one drop rule still stands to this day . like you said no matter how light a person is and how straight their hair is or if they say they are mixed or part indian or whatever else if they one parent or one relative that is black they are considered black by this society .
@may55883 жыл бұрын
And that is a good thing. El is proud of his blackness. Of course the man is black. Being black is an experience not limited to those who have darker skin. Ell’s mother is black so she instilled a lot of the culture and religion in her children. Good for her. God. Less this family.....

@MrRyanbernard Actually Prince is multi-cultural. His parents are considered black but are of mixed race. They're from Louisana and are mixed with american indian,french, italian and of course black. Purple Rain only had some parts of his true life most of it is just a movie. Prince didnt want to be put under any label he just wanted everyone to like his music. Not because he was black or white but just because he is truly a talented musician.

In his second chance video, he has a saddness about him, it shows in his eyes, i really hope that his and yours personal lifes are going great. There is nothing happier than hearing that love was found again. I'm a romantic.

@hotmjj4 Black always dominates genetically over white. Mariah Carey is a Black woman with an Irish mother. Yes she is bi racial but she identifies with Black and there is no confusion there for me because I have family members that look like her. Black people have never been historically categorized based on skin color. You can be as light as Mariah and I knew she was Black before she said ANYTHING about it back in 1990.
