You're NOT black enough

Am I black enough when I'm with you? What does it mean to be black enough when there are infinitely many ways to exist? Is your blackness invalidated when you marry outside of your race? In this episode of The Beast Cast Hallease and Mr. Hallease discuss the intricacy of her black identity juxtaposed to their interracial relationship. #couplespodcast

In the words of Amanda Seales "Every black experience is a black experience except an anti-black one." I have a problem with people who judge blackness based on stereotypes. Black people are diverse and we have to explore and celebrate that.

[@Scoring57]

Latasha Thomas You shouldn't judge blackness on stereotypes. But if a black person engages in something that's implicitly against black people or marginalizes black people (maybe you could call those "anti-black" as well) I think people are allowed to point them out as obviously outside the group or not *for* the group. Stereotype or no stereotype

[@NickyM_0]

@@Scoring57 100% agree on that.

[@brittneysnell8900]

Yes! There is no singular black experience and each experience is equally valid.

[@Celeste8808]

You all should do a video on mr hallease & being a chameleon and how it affects your experiences. I’m married to a light skin black man, sometime we go places we get looks. Looks like, I didn’t no black ppl do this. I find it easier for other ppl to accept that I’m not a stereotype black person, but black ppl found it hard to understand me. Side note:most ppl think he is mixed. You can also do a video on growing up as a “Oreo” & mr hallease not being Spanish enough. That is the whole reason I like you b/c I can relate to life perspective.

[@Bloodgod40]

I always roll my eyes when anyone accuses anyone else of "not being black enough". It's idiotic gatekeeping at its most silly. The only thing that is black is.... _being black._ Having melanistic skin, and curly afro hair, and a broad nose and full lips... having African DNA in your genes. That is what being black is. It is nothing to do with what you do, how you live, what types of clothing, music or anything else you like or dislike.

[@schanshinta]

Great episode

[@dw5192]

I just..hm...where is this “black solidarity” of which you speak. I mean really. Black people by far are pretty treacherous to other black people, even “black enough” is used as a classist quantifier to differentiate “blackity black” from “bougie black” or affluent black people. I mean we say all the time we wan black success but do we? They way the majority of black people treat black affluent people, black college graduates, and black professionals, i don’t think we do. I mean black people seem to glorify things that either put us in jail or cause our lives to be very difficult (i.e. “struggle love” , “hard enough” , being “bout that life” etc.) in a way that i find VERY COUNTERPRODUCTIVE!

[@livetoloveandlaughlivefora6800]

What the hell is a black relationship what the hell is a white relationship without dealing what's Society an individual cultural class that's the only way I can do find the separation other than that married people go through majority of the same things put the toilet seat down don't forget to wash the dishes when you're done call me when you're on your way home in case I need something be considerate don't forget my birthday don't forget silent Ines de etc etc indecisiveness whipped in a relationship how many married couples go through these things I don't think it's a interracial issue vs black on black or white and white relationship all marriage or complexed and they come with different levels that's just my opinion

[@ToniToussaint]

Mr. felt so uncomfortable.

[@abdulbailey9963]

U more than black enough & both y'all relationship gets a pass

[@MommaLuvsManga]

Wheeeew this is a TOPIC. Lol! I have a lot I want to say, but I don’t wanna leave a novel in the comments. What I will say is... unless someone is paying my bills I refuse to acknowledge their opinions about my relationship. Also, my blackness didn’t disappear after I said “I do”. I’m blackity black black, y’all. 🤷🏾‍♀️😂 But, ooooh Hallease, I feel you about being worried about sharing Chris on the channel. That’s how I was when I was doing SkinnyGirlFatHair. I didn’t want to deal with the possible shenanigans in the comments. Thankfully, that never happened.

[@brieoliver]

Whew! "Talking black"...if that wasnt my entire existence growing up. Omg lol. I cant count how many ways folks tried to invalidate my blackness because I talked a certain way or listened to certain music or watched certain shows. I'd be lying if I said this hasn't impacted how I approach dating. I have to be very particular and introspective about who I choose and why. It is definitely hard out here for black women lol. Dating is hard anyway but now you've got to weave through racism, colorism, fetishism, anti-blackness, AND anti-feminism too?! Jesus...🤦🏾‍♀️

[@hallease]

ISSALOT fam

[@Scoring57]

Briana Oliver Well if you're not connected to any black experience or culture how much does it matter that you're black? Yes you are black physically, but it's not expressed in any sort of way in sentiment, culture, or thought so why should people assume that about you? Shouldn't they assume you truly are disconnected or apart from black people?

[@brieoliver]

@@Scoring57 If you are black, then you're living a black experience. Period. Idk who told you that that black culture is a unified thing and can be deduced to hitting all points on a bulleted lists. Im black. I've got dark skin with kinky textured, tightly coiled, 4C hair. I live my black experience everyday. My lack of knowledge of hip hop and preference of the Office over Insecure says zero about my blackness. Nor does my english patterns indicate otherwise either.

[@polisigh216]

Scoring57 no.

[@rozempire2843]

[@theoshatalks9480]

"Did you flavor it with flour? That's not a spice" - My favorite off topic part of the video. 🤣🤣🤣 I was often told that I didn't talk/act Black enough. Forever having my "Black Card" revoked for one reason or another. It was exhausting to defend something that doesn't exist. I am Black and cannot pass for anything else. Let me live!!!! Meh. I guess people need something to talk about. We all need to be our own unique selves. My Blackness is not exactly like anyone else's, but it is still a valid experience.

[@chardelinecaraballo9866]

I've had this conversation with my husband but he does not consider us an interracial couple bc we are both Caribbean. Even though I'm Afro Caribbean and he is Latino. But I think that's another topic for another podcast bc many Afro Caribbeans don't identify with the African American experience bc we have our own colonization history. Either way, I love your podcast. I love your true conversations. Keep em coming.

[@CyanAnn]

I agree with you. You traverse the world differently as a darker skinned Latino so although you aren't the typical interracial couple, there are definitely differences. If you're uncomfortable with him disregarding that fact, y'all should definitely have a discussion about it

[@eg461]

Chardeline H. Caraballo Hey beautiful ☺️ This isn’t a condescending comment in any way I just want to share with you that Latino isn’t correct to describe many people who are categorized as such or anyone from the Caribbean with no/ less African features. Caribbean people can be of 3 or more ethnic groups which include the Colonizer European lineages, African, as well as the Original People/Indigenous (Native American/ Native Caribbean such as Taino and Carib. The word Caribe is a Native word not “Latino”). Latino is a whitewash word & most of the time when people think about what features “Latinos” have they are thinking about Native American features. Also I wouldn’t have made this comment if I had no ties to the Caribe but I do as daughter of immigrants from the Dominican Rep. & Cuba. It may seem interracial by color but your husband may have African lineage in him as well, & I wouldn’t worry either way- love is love 💕

[@rissa206]

I'm kind over this topic because I live in a white city where interracial couples are common, but I feel like yall will give an intelligent take on this. I just want people to stop fetishizing non black people. Being black is lit and loving black people is lit. Love is love.

[@I.Am.RosaMarie]

rissa206 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@diouranke]

many black women, regardless of culture are conditioned to be very black male identified, I am glad to hear more voices from black women and them discovering more about who they are as women first and foremost. what they need etc.

[@hellaSwankkyToo]

the crabs in a barrel metaphor caught my attention. recently my old mentor talked about this. he said it's interesting that we always get mad at the crabs when they shouldn't be in the barrel to begin with. it's not where they belong. every crab in the barrel is trying to get free. + the way things are setup, we're more mad at + spend more time + energy worried about the crabs than the barrel + how they got there in the first place.

[@Scoring57]

@@hellaSwankkyToo I guess it could be true with some other groups. I don't see it though. Much more unity in self defense among other groups than black people

[@bbybrandi92]

Scoring57 you would probably have to be in those other groups to know how they function. Similar to how when someone attacks a black person, all or most black people band together to protect one another despite our arguments or differences.

[@mystuff8579]

You are beautiful hallease. There is nothing creepy about someone finding your black skin, hair and features beautiful and saying so. It's not weird or strange. We are all humans. Why is it all fetish talk but no one ever accuses all of the admiration on the European phenotype about fetishization.

[@eshadiva6600]

The black community definitely stresses that you should find a good black man to the girls but not in the reverse to the boys.

[@penny.ventures]

This was a great video. As a black woman in an interracial relationship who was labeled as an "oreo" this one made me tear up a bit ngl. Beginning with hierarchy of beauty standards which in result of going to a predominantly white hs, placed me as the "ugly" friend growing up. Constantly thinking I weren't pretty enough cuz I didn't look like them. Being surrounded and rejected by those who had same skin color as me, but again, I didn't talk right, listen to the same music so I couldn't hang unless I "overcorrected". When I started dating I'd constantly question whether or not my bf liked me for me or because I was fetishized. Most of these opinions and feelings were irrational thoughts in my head because I never had anybody to discuss with, nobody who could relate. Im currently learning more about what it means to be black especially in this climate and man does it feel good to see other non-stereotypical black folks sharing their stories because representation does matter.

[@silverzlove]

Noone can invalidate you as a Black woman, enough is a false qualifier. Marrying within one's race Black or Latinx doesn't mean community upliftment & solidarity, it's a false equivalency that I believe PoC folks need to address. As your husband said you're beautiful & intelligent, Hallease.

[@jadkiss827]

2:03...Question #1- To date outside ones race is going the mean or be different for black men (BM) verses black women (BW) . This is because BM aren't abundant while BW are. Also, there is a difference because historically- BM "voluntarily roamed" first out right rejecting BW. The 2000's and prior most BW only saw themselves with BM but were increasingly rejected. So this naturally would cause resentment because BW didn't largely have other opinions. Most BW didn't see the need to nor want to date outside the race. This has since changed- BW are survivors. In recent time the appeal for the BW has increased and BW are more opened minded to dating other races. I think for the BW initially it was largely survival a reaction to rejection. For the BW largely its not a question of selling out. Its she chooses who values, wants, respects, cherishes her.

[@tiffanywu8315]

Hmm... I'm just here for support. 🙃 Asians can be very much the same way. Love and let love.

[@happynappyable]

I’m from Africa so I’m not socialized to see blackness as one way - we’re not a monolithic group . We are a diverse people .

[@Sewnover]

I was just thinking about this topic after watching one of Jouelzy’s videos! A possible topic could be traveling with your spouse. I find that some people find this really difficult. Whether that be who pays for what part of the trip or just juggling what activities to do. How do you guys feel about it. Do you have an example/ funny story of trip gone wrong?

[@hallease]

Interesting. I'll add this one to the list. Thanks!

[@jackielocs2301]

To expand the conversation a bit, do you Hallease feel comfortable bringing Mr. Hallease into all black spaces? What spaces do you feel comfortable in together? I tend to avoid all black spaces besides family. (My family likes him more than me.) 😂 My husband loves it but am I making a black space less safe by bringing a white person into those black spaces?

[@hallease]

Generally speaking, yes but that's because the black spaces I'm in are filled with others who understand and respect my relationship

[@amnvendetta5289]

When you not marry black you not black better Stay out our black space with how you marry show how you love

[@rickireign]

I’ve always been very different from my black friends. I like to think of it as expanding people’s idea of what black means. I believe romantic love changes the rhetoric of who one “should” date. Love this discussion!

[@polisigh216]

Ricki_I_Am I was always different and then I went to college and met other black nerds.

[@nikkiep23]

Interesting topic! Great perspectives. I used to get the you're not black enough comment all the time in school and still do which is so crazy to me. Side note: your locs are growing beautifully Hallease. Also, I love those coffee mugs. Can you provide the deets?

[@keshnadonia]

@Hallease you know I think you can go deeper into the topic. Like how do you identify the ”black culture”. Many people have different experiences and grow up with different food types and traditions. You touched on it but there's so much more to say about that

[@happynappyable]

Y’all represent the intercultural black Mexican poc couple and your black voice is absolutely valid sis 🙌🏾

[@stressfree9536]

Hallease... . My partner is white/Jewish and I'm black. I had my discomfort because my preference is black men. (That's a whole other topic) I have never been questioned about my blackness (at least not to my face) but I wish someone would try me. My blackness is not defined nor will it be denied because the love of my life is not my color. I will tell you though I find it disturbing when individuals compliment anyone on "getting" a white man. My man is not my savior. He did not die and be resurrected. He just is great at dealing with my crazy behind and I'm not messing that up! Missed me with that You're not black enough crap, I'm LOVED enough though....

[@hallease]

"I'm loved enough" 😎

[@bbybrandi92]

Great video! My boyfriend and I are also in an interracial relationship; I am a black woman and he is a Mexican man. The difference is, I am a light skinned black woman and many people think I am mixed race when I am not 😓 (have been called mixed all of my childhood as a dig on my blackness). And my boyfriend is a similar complexion to me but within his family he’s considered darker or dark skinned 🤷🏽‍♀️. He wears a beard so strangers tend to think he’s of Arab descent and when we go out people don’t know what to make of us really until they hear him speak Spanish. For the most part I don’t notice people giving us looks but we do live in Southern California so there is a lot of interracial dating here. But to be honest both sides of our family have made some weird comments about our relationship that both of us have firmly corrected. Anyways, I have a question for Mr. Hallease that might be a good podcast topic. I know he said that he doesn’t speak Spanish well but I wondered if he or his family watched Spanish television growing up (Univision, Televisa, etc.). If so I wondered if he ever noticed the colorism in Mexican television and how indigenous people are treated in Mexican culture. Specifically there is one show (I’ve forgotten the name) that centers around an indigenous woman who comes down from “the mountains” to live in the city and she’s basically played as a dumb person who doesn’t know anything and is made fun of.

[@bbybrandi92]

Googled it, the show was called La India Maria.

[@fatiie]

I hate the over generalizations. Apparently you're not allowed to find a black person beautiful unless you're black, or else you're just fetishizing. Smh. Or "self hating" smh. Same way a black person is not allowed to find a non black person beautiful or else they're just fetishizing and self hating. Smh. Why is it that people within the SAME phenotype who are ONLY physically attracted to people of their SAME phenotype NOT considered fetishizing that phenotype?? They only like that thing, how is that not a fetish? There's no universal nature ordained order/command that says your race owns you and you have authority/dictation over everyone's life within your race. Where does this rule come from that we're only allowed to be attracted to something that looks like us, or else be considered only fetishizing? Why are our attractions restrained and boxed in. Society really can't tell me that I'm not allowed to see the beauty in every corner of the world. Just because we're of the same race DOESNT mean I HAVE to be with you, and doesn't mean we're ONLY allowed to be with one another. Our races dont/shouldn't have reign over our sovereignty (in terms of individuality), but obviously socially race does have implications on our individual sovereignty. And of course the historical hijacked sovereignty of black Americans can NEVER be overlooked/undermined.. It's understandable where these tensions come from.. it's a delicate, sensitive issue and should be spoken about with respect and understanding. It's understandable WHY there is blackness pressure within the black community. But, I'm not with anyone telling anyone else about themselves, let alone denying, diminishing, and disqualifying a person's experience because they're not in a same race relationship. Another thing we dont talk much about (that I believe plays a huge role in the direction of society) is how OLD human history is and how time, evolution, migration, and mixing shaped our world dating back to 2 million years ago.

[@wakeuppeople777]

Fetishizing to me means that the physical attributes of a person are more important than the person. So the list of attractors can be met by basically anyone with those features who will allow themselves to be fetishized. It's not based so much on the important things that make a person. Not based on their spirit. It makes the person an object.

[@africandotamerican5608]

What a frank and enjoyable conversation. Appreciate how you both understand your positioning while Hallease maintains and owns her Blackness. "At the end of the day you have to live your life and your decisions." Yup.

[@lydiab.717]

Ya'll stories about Mr. Halease being racially ambiguous are hilarious. For Harriet You tube channel had a good discussion of this. I think historically black people did not legally have options when it came to marriage and I think that influences the culture mindset about this topic.

[@livetoloveandlaughlivefora6800]

I dated many different men from different race first boyfriend was Puerto Rican Dominican Angela White Saxon black American Japanese Italian German American Spaniard from Spain and Chinese and now I'm married to a Russian Russian Jew mother's Russian father's Orthodox Christian that alone is a combination issues when we are together I get more cross-eyed look from white women then from black women and I also get more looks from black men then from white men people always used to ask me why I don't date within my own race meaning Caribbean black men because none of them never like me none of them was strong enough to approach me the right way none of them treated me the way I wanted to be treated I found someone that gives me what I want so why not marry that person love doesn't come by keeping a race together how to maintain a culture dynamic love comes with compassion care for individual and what you will do for that individual. unconditional care/love

[@NickyM_0]

@Hallease I came across this video after watching the documentary 'Not Black Enough'. You are the only interracial couple that I have subscribed to as you were the only couple that were objective, insightful, truly observant, open and spoke with thought behind the words, as opposed to the usual bog standard delusion drivel that is offered by interracial couples. Which contributes greatly as to why their opinions are mostly invalidated to many Black people. Eg most Black people in an IR couple will insist their relationships are no different to that of a Black couple 🙄 when it is significantly and uniquely different because of the dynamics, perception and politics of an IR relationship. Particularly an IR relationship between a Black and White person. It is completely delusional to ignore that fact. Nevertheless, whether or not in an IR relationship, it is still part of the Black experience. Thanks for sharing the Black couple that speak about marriage.

Thanks really enlightening take on dating and relationships. Never thought about the whole teaching of women being totally in control because men are unreliable ideaollogy. But i grew up in the 90s and that was very true & very much the sentiment during middle & high school days

[@ovt2850]

Whenever we take our sense of 'identity' from the physical 'body' we're presently in, what that does is, it creates 'mental tension.' in our consciousness that we're different, and we get ourselves trapped inside this false illusionary idea, or mental construct' that I'm a woman and I'm black and that I'm male and Jewish. You're none of these things.You're two 'spiritual beings' two 'beautiful souls' filled with qualities residing inside physical bodies. You're NOT your bodies. Each one of us is an 'eternal point' of pure spiritual energy, like a 'divine star.' The 'soul' cannot be seen with the physical eye, and needs a body through which to express itself. I will subscribe. xx

[@Shoopalexia]

So funny I am from MA and now live in VA for the past 5 years. I have always been perceived as the “Black girl who acts and talks white” while growing up in MA and just as much here in VA. Although growing up my family struggled and we did not live in the good neighborhoods, my parents refused to let our surroundings define anything. There was no slang in the home, and my life was church, school and work. Plus I was and still am a super nerd. I have had soooooooo many people say oh you don’t talk or act like you are Black. I always ask them what does being Black sound or act like? Also now that I am dating my bf who is White it is a whole other can of worms. I had someone ask me well can you be Pro Black now? Bruh?! I am still a BLACK WOMAN whomever I choose to date. It doesn’t change the way someone decides to treat me with me being Black and on top of that a woman. The struggle doesn’t change because of who I love.

[@amnvendetta5289]

If you have a White bf you deep inside White

[@dw5192]

“Without you, there are no black babies”? Wrong....like black men carry black genetics and if we procreate, like anyone else, some of out genetic make up is passed down~ like there is no closer proximity to blackness or more specifically black phenotype to be found in the black woman’s womb if that makes sense. Like if a black woman procreates with a white man, those kids we share a similar phenotype to kids of a black man and a white woman because that’s how chromosomes work... I’m not trying to be condescending but preservation of the black race is not solely the responsibility of the black woman.

[@hallease]

Yes, scientifically of course you're right.

If they would just be outright and say I prefer white men I wouldn't be mad.

Also different races of women are ostracized for dating black men. Black women too, but mostly with black men.

[@yvettechinsee63]

I'm sure this issue of blackness exists all over the world, but based on my experiences I think it's an obsession mostly in the USA. Mostly I feel like I'm on the outside looking in at this constant obsession with race and I find it exhausting. I never really gave my complexion/race much of a second thought until I migrated. It just makes me really grateful that I didnt grow up here because I spent most of my life being just a human being.

[@hallease]

Yes, here in the US it's a whole different state of being than abroad

[@jadkiss827]

17:34... The majority people that say or think like this a selfish black male that has no clue or true care about the single black women's struggle. They are greedy, possibly polygamist, expecting black women to take what they can get/share their man. There are a few black women who have been fortunate enough to only date inside their race who'd say this too (insensitivity). There are also some extreme black nationalist who'd object but they are "black crazed". All of these sects/groups are not in touch with the struggle of a single black women over 30 who desires one man who wants one woman. Largely single black women over 25 wouldn't object to a black woman dating interracially. Their perspective is the valued one cause they are living it. This is if someone's perspective is to matters with regards to someone else's relationship.

But isn't that issue more in a western World Dynamic amount the Afro-American dynamic and cultural Dynasty because as a Caribbean person we don't quite go through that issue we go through social issues but cultural issues but at the same time I understand because of so much that the black man on the black woman in America has gone through the breaking up a family the keeping the family together meaning cheating black women with black men together raising black children raised and more strong black young women in black young men is what we want to being teen every group wants to stay within their own race to bring more of their own children into the world so if you're in an interracial relationship your kind of selling yourself out of your race by taking away one strong woman are one strong man from that group that can be providing for that cultural race that's the only way I could see that

[@annalecemorgan2602]

okay, a question i’ve always had is just like what is considered mixed than? 1/2 or like 1/4 like, say someone’s dad is half black and half white, and their mother is white and latina? what would that mean for the child? would that mean they should identify as white? as black? as latina? as mixed? what does that mean? i’ve just always wondered for myself and for other mixed people out in the world. thanks y’all :)

I miss the vlogs 😢

I know Hallease does too, but you'd be surprised how much time, effort, scripting, and editing each vlog takes. She's been blessed with some other projects recently and that's why the vlog uploads have slowed. Thanks for the comments and we appreciate you! -Mr. H

This was handled well. Not as sensationalist as the title might suggest. And to be honest I haven't seen this teaching of black women to be with black men 5:24 Is it suggested in the culture? Yes I think so. But I think it's a general sentiment expressed with all black people except black men break away from it and don't care as much about it. Black people don't even have much of a community to begin to even teach these things specifically to black women

I'm in an interracial relationship with a black man. We get weird looks anytime we're in public. We've been together for 11 years. I get a lot of flack from both white men and white women. I'm not sure how much flack he gets on the other side.

Maybe there is already a video done, but I am curious? Who looks at you when you're out as an interracial couple? All looks ain't bad or disapproving.
