The Tyla Hate Train Is Getting Worse But Why?

i say this with love as an outsider (australian-chinese, who has long-time close american friends and is actually dating one) - american culture loves to sensationalise and dramatise and seem to have this trigger when it comes to anything that can be made into a racial issue. I mean just look at the hate and hate crimes that were committed against ethnically chinese americans during the COVID period! i completely empathise and sympathise with the dark past of slavery in America and ongoing inter-generational trauma from that, but at some point you have to recognise that your people/country's history isn't the be-all and end-all. Heck, that would mean me hating Japanese people for the war crimes the Japanese committed against China. I also read comments about Tyla "invading" black culture - that is wild when she's literally South African and half black? That's like saying K-pop has invaded "Asian" culture, sure it has gotten popular in western mainstream media but Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Thai, Malaysian etc cultures have always and will always remain uniquely different for those who know and care to know. She isn't trying to be someone she's not, to me she has always publicly and proudly stated she's South African, she isn't trying to put on a "blaccent", change up her music or personality. The hypocrisy of woke american culture campaigning for "being yourself" but at the same time taking offense to her mannerisms (which are affected by her culture and where she grew up).... There are genuine racial issues to get angry at, the hate for Tyla is so extreme and stupid. I will say though, she does come off awkward in interviews, but she's said herself that she's pretty introverted. But that's something she can get training for and will get better with experience.

As an American, one who moved to Africa. I agree with all this. I have so much to say on this. Maybe I’ll upload a video on my channel about it. But there’s definitely a psychology to the black American hate Tyla gets. & honestly I’m exhausted with it.

[@alisterdirector1475]

unfortunately we Black Americans have not been able to articulate this well, but we not feeling Tyla because 1) she said she is not Black yet is being shoved into Black spaces and forced onto us. Case and point, the Breakfast Club situation, and literally winning an Afrobeat award over Black artist and she doesn't even do Afrobeats. 2) She is an industry plant forced by corporations to try to be the face of a musical culture because She is racially ambiguous. She has the Black African culture, or at least part of it, and she has a look that is palatable to white people. I call it the Drake effect, but unlike Drake she does not understand the Black American culture enough to insert herself, nor has she proven his level of logevity. Not to mention Drake has Black American roots i.e. he literally has family members who were Black American artist. 3) Probably the most important to the answer to your question, the thing that Black Americans can sense that we do not like is the antiblackness. Some of us may not be able to articulate in full, simply because they do not understand the history of South Africa, and in particular the Coloured community as a whole. The Coloured community in South Africa as a whole is extremely antiblack. KZbin it for references if you need to do your research. It is not the whole community, I want to throw that out there. I also wasn't to throw out there that Tyla herself never in particular said anything antiblack to my knowledge, but the energy she exudes lends it self to the "I'm better than you because of my lighter skin". And one would say that this was a trigger from a inferiority complex, until you do the research and realize that the Category of Coloured in South Africa is literally meant to be a step above Black due to lighter skin. Unfortunately, Tyla exudes this because it is literally embedded in the fabric of her culture, and it shows to Black Americans, because if we are good at detecting anything it is detecting White Supremacy and detecting antiblackness. Both white supremacy and antiblackness runs so much deeper then it is ever given credit for to the point where sometimes it seems it's a conspiracy theory. If you ever doubt this, just keep in mind that the only reason vanilla is so associated with white when it is actually brown/black is because it was considered too taste too good to be Black, and let that sink in. Our inability to break the complexity of something like this down is not just specific to us. you see the same type of unexplained dislike for Americans when abroad. Everyone says Americans exude this sense of entitlement, arrogance, and self-centeredness, and it is because it is embedded in the fabric of our society to the point where it is a part of our identity that we are not even conscious of. So we do something we see as normal it becomes borderline offensive to another person or culture. So hopefully that helps you and maybe even some Black people who could not quite put their finger on what they were feeling or seeing, better understand.

@@sherwoodla6535 you seem open-minded enough so I hope you won’t mind me probing a little bit? The trophy incident seemed not to have been an “incident” in the countless other instances where American women (both black and white) asked for help with holding their trophy. It’s strange that this action only warrants backlash when Tyla does it Also, on the “coloured perseverance”, Tyla has never actually gone out of her way to reference her race while in the US. The discourse around her race started because people found a TikTok video she made years ago for Heritage Day while she was IN SOUTH AFRICA. She was explaining her ethnicity (Coloured) while actually celebrating her Black African (Zulu) heritage. She only subsequently spoke on her race in response to the backlash she was receiving from Black Americans over her use of the term. She has previously said she acknowledges the negative origins of the word in the US and doesn’t expect anyone to identify her using the word if they’re not comfortable. So she actually has tried to show an understanding of American sensibilities. I give this context to say that I think it’s something deeper when she hasn’t ACTUALLY done anything. South Africa did not adopt the one drop rule. We love Tyla but fully acknowledge her as a mixed race woman. To me it seems that some Black Americans interpreted her acknowledgement of her mixedness as a rejection of blackness and have been nitpicking her every move as punishment ever since. Is it possible that my assessment is correct?

[@sherwoodla6535]

@@teeraynee Thanks for the compliment, it's genuinely appreciated. Just a couple of points though: 1- If Tyla were to accidentally wonder onto a SA Farmer's property, would she be dealt with any differently than the SA Blacks who were brutally un-alived by being burned to death or cut up and fed to the pigs as reported recently? I doubt it, so I question whether the "One Drop" rule isn't also practiced in SA. 2- Leading with your mixed-race status to blacks is not going to endear you to them. When Megan Markle visited Nigeria, she wore native Nigerian clothing, put her hair up in a bun and made no mention of her mixed-race status even though in the US and UK she is only referred to as mixed-race (not black) and her phenotype leans HEAVELY white. to the point of presenting white unless you met her black mother. 3-If I visited any African country, including SA, as a "mixed race" FBA (25% northern European which is not unusual here) I would still identify as Balck to show unity #1 with Black Africans and demonstrate that the world sees me as Black not mixed race #2. This is how you win over people of other cultures. Anyway, at the end of the day, it will be the American court of public opinion that will determine Tyla's success here.

[@teeraynee]

@@sherwoodla6535 1 - While Coloured people were also subjugated under the apartheid regime, their non-Black ancestry meant that they were given a few more rights than fully Black people. The fact that they weren’t 100% Black African meant that they were not relegated to the absolute bottom - so actually the opposite of the one drop rule. There are still remnants of this sentiment amongst White racists today. The boldest among them even proclaim this loudly. They may see Coloured people as inferior to themselves but most of them definitely think Black people are inferior to Coloured people. So that farmer very well could’ve spared a Coloured person. None of this is Tyla’s fault though so it’s a moot point either way. 2 - She never “led with her mixed race status”. The discourse around her race started because people found a video she made in 2020 as a teenager where she was celebrating her heritage for a South African holiday while in South Africa, just like every other South African does on that day. She never referenced her race in the US at any point other than to address the backlash she was receiving for her use of the term in that video. I don’t know where the idea that she was going around demanding to be identified as Coloured and scoffing at being identified as Black comes from. This never happened. You wouldn’t know this, but she’s actually shown herself to be very pro-Black and frequently celebrates her Black African heritage, but still - she is not Black by SA’s definition. 3 - it would be extremely disingenuous of her to outright identify herself as Black to global audiences when she’s never had to navigate life as a fully Black person. She would alienate both Black and Coloured South Africans by going around claiming to be something she’s not. I also highly doubt all Black Americans would have received it well if she outright claimed Blackness, considering your attitudes towards people like Cardi B, Kamala Harris and recently Drake. People would have eventually come across her family pictures and start accusing her of lying and cosplaying. From what I’ve seen on social media, there isn’t actually a consensus among you guys about how mixed race people should identify - so in my opinion, she was damned if she did and damned if she didn’t. People are obviously free to have their opinions. I just have a problem when the opinions are baseless and seem to be fuelled by prejudice. It’s very possible to dislike the girl and ignore her afterwards, like a normal person. There’s absolutely no need for people to go out of their way to invent narratives to propel a hate train against her when she hasn’t ACTUALLY done anything to warrant it.

So all this beef and long talk isn’t necessary. It is a terminology that they use for saying I’m mixed race or mixed origin etc She’s very much misunderstood 😅

​@_Lesplay Tyla has been absolutely forced onto Black Americans, and we are not feeling her. And it really is not a we don't like Africans thing, because we clearly love Burner Boy, Tems❤, Ayra Stat😍, Akon, Michael Blackson, Patrice Lumumba, the list goes on. We honestly are not feeling Tyla, because she said she is not Black and we withdrew our Black support and we are tired of having her forced in Black spaces. We are going to support our Black artist. The fundamental issue here is 1) Africans deep down don't respect African Americans, which is why you all think you can bully us into accepting the girl 2) Africans do not understand Black unity, she won an award for music she does not even do over actual Black artist that do 3) you all are so desperate to make this girl the representation of your music and she said she not even Black, the snow bunny crisis is real. At the root of these three things: (jealousy/tribalism, inability to unify, chasing after White people) is probably majority of the reason Africa is in the state it is in right now.

Yall out here defending Tyal behind your stupid pride and trying to prop her up as your African representation and she told yall she not Black. Why would you want her winning an Afrobeats award and she does not do Afrobeats nor is she Black? The girl literally won the award because she is not Black and is racially ambiguous. She beat out actual Black artist when she literally not in the genre of music. Africa is majority Black and you all don't even have the ability to see that they are making the face of Africa i.e. African music non Black. The same way they made the face of North Africa not Black, the same way they try to make the face of East Africa not Black, the same way South Africa made the there Ms. SOUTH AFRICA NOT BLACK. At this point you all are being piss poor and absolutely pathetic. Have some damn pride in yourselves and stop being weak in the knees over non-black people and white supremacy. Africa is were culture comes from but yall stay chasing after other cultures from Arab cultures to European culture. Stand the fuck up and be leaders instead of all the damn internet trolls living in every place but the African country they were born in.

with all due respect .... as Tyla enters a space that African Americans built, it would be wise to become more culturally competent and better understand the etiquette and history of our culture.

Most people didn't read the written statement that followed that interview. Words mean things, and its important to put things in context when you're a public figure. For many Black Americans, this is just the cherry on top of the decades of West, East and Southern Africans entering America with a mentality of superiority embedded in them by their colonizers ..... we're over it.

[@limofootball]

​@@_LesplayI'm gonna be honest with you, you can call it culture but it isn't. Well, at least not in tge essence of being passed down from generation to generation, this is why it changes from generation to generation. It's simply street culture like what we used to do growing. Do you genuinely think those things are taught by parents or uncles? For sure, a few things like soul food, certain music etc is culture bc it's taught by elders. But things like breakdancing, bboy etc is street culture bc no elders teach that. Sure, I can agree your father can teach you how to rap but most of the things you mentioned are learned from the street and change from time to time easily. Culture does change but not easily. So, imo some of it is culture, some of it isn't. Especially talking. "Finna, gonna, etc" isn't culture bc not all black Americans are raised that way. It's simply slang. If you call something culture of an ethnic group then it should be the norm in every family but this isn't. This is street culture regardless of race but it's predominant among black Americans bc they invented it. It's still street culture, not generational culture.

The difference is that most of them were already established artists with already big fan bases before branching out of the continent so their popularity was very organic. So when burna boy said why is my name so small on the flier, he had earned the right to have his name blown out cuz he had already proved himself, his artistry and his talent.
