White people made the rules and we all still adhere to them. Remember, that 1/16 rule? Yeah, anybody who wants to complain that they're forced to pick a "race" can go whine to the people who socialized everybody to believe that. Now everybody wants to say "but I'm mixed with----" ...that's great, too bad there's only one race.
Hey, if you're half black and half white ... and you can't deal with the black side. Why don't you cross on over to the white side? The majority of blacks don't give a damn. Claim the race that you want to claim. A lot of you biracial folks are just pissed off because a lot of blacks won't kiss your ass. Being half white doesn't make you special. Don't believe that? Go on down to Mississippi & the deep south & ask some of them white folks you love so much. They'll tell you! LMAO!!!!
@EydieDee ..I have been to the deep south, Missippi , Goergia, Louisianna and Alabama...and i have never been treated bad by white people or black people. just because we are half black doesnt mean we are automatically "Black", obviously we look totally different from full black people. Therefore white people can tell the difference.
I think it's because they dont like being told that they are just African and nothing else, people try to make them deny their Asian or European heritage, it's disgusting and cruel and I just wont do it. Plus African American culture and Language is stupid and doesnt appeal to me at all. I embrace all of my heritages, but since people tend to think having some African ancestry, makes you all African that makes it somewhat difficult
I thought Biracials were pro-black. It always seems they want to be black because it's more "exotic" and I've heard it's trendy to be an oppressed minority. Get people feeling bad for you so they'll give you money and affirmative action.
That's only half true, some biracials who grew up in a more "black" environment, tend to be more pro-black, but others who do not tend to lean more towards white or mainstream culture or embrace all of their heritage, not just the African side
I am Choctaw Native, Finnish, and black. SOme black people try to claim everybody under the sun. I am not half and half. My great grand dad was like 10% black, and the rest was finnish and Native. I have had very bad expirences with black people. and in turn, I sometimes make fun of black peoples features. I hate how I am mixed and black people will be so mean to me when i didnt do any thing to them. My grandma has green eyes and loose curly brown hair. I have loose curly black, and red hair.
Aw that sucks. But your not alone, I'm also Biracial and I have had many negative experiences with black people and white people, but more of them have been with black. When I was living in a majority black town on Long Island they used to bully me constantly, for literally no reason and my only friends were white kids. I've had many experiences like that over the years, and I can't stand how I'm supposed to just deny part of my heritage. I am Black, Indian, Hungarian, and Chinese
I'm not used to the cities (like Ottawa) where ehtnic groups are visibly-distingshied and "members" only mingle within their respective group, as to the countryside where you are as socializing with the next guy. Bottom line where all in this together so why compliant ?
thing is I dont associate myslef as "Black" since that side of my heritage was alienated but i'm not angry because I am "Me". my familly is racially inter-thiwned with various ethnic background all over the world (I'm French Canadian btw) and that influences my way of thinking: I prefer to be in a crowd that multi-racail or outside my "visible genes" and I'm a country bumpkin to boot.
it funny, skin colour is a result of the pigementation level quality in one's body. I'm half-caucasian, half-central american (black if you will) when people ask the Q on racsim, I usually lift an eyebrow.
In what why does it affect you or does it even happen at all? Btw I am multicultural and it if it does affect you your not alone I still can't even walk the street during an ethnic function without people young and old glaring at me. This has happened since I was very small and I am used to it so its not as scary now as it was then.
Okay I'm not mixed but a lot of the mixed ppl I meet I'm the same color or lighter than :( weird! But I get treated the same way by black ppl (mostly women) I use to tell ppl I was mixed or Italian but now I'm proud of my color, I remember one day my bro was driving us home(he happen to be dark) stopped at a light and this girl was there and gave me this really nasty face and he saw it, he said dark skinned women ain't gone like you cause ur lighter but your character has to speak for you not u
@ESUTERURE: How about just black? It is the black that changes the white, not the white that changes the black. When blacks mix with whites that child is no longer white in many ways, but is still black in most ways.
@ESUTERURE: From what I have studied, It appears as if when the father is white, the mixed child wants to be white regardless of appearance. When they are raised in the suburbs, the same thing. When the father is black they want to be or view themselves as black, but if raised in the suburbs that want to lean towards white. Halle Berry wanted to be white but her mother told her that she was going to be viewed as black. Now Halle is trying to live the white life after all of that black
My sister is one of these people..it irritates the fudge out of me -__- But i think a lot of the reason people feel this way has to do with the way we look..I look puerto rican and most people don't think i'm only black and white. Also, my body shape is more like a black girl..so it was easier for me to identify with my black side..and white people always treated me as if I was only black..I never let that change my view on my identity though. And my sister looks pretty much white (diff. dad)
@Thejanetsvid that's impossable to pull off sorry honey. Black brothers will continue reproducing with white women, 90% of the world is colored there's always gonna be half breeds. I'm gonna make one myself follewed by 4 more nah 10 should do it.
@mwtwyman, Just curious, why is it so important for people with a white mom and blk dad to post these videos. You are wrong, blk people are very inclusive which is why when we see a person with an obvious blk background, we want to consider them BLACK! I don't see you as special because u have a white mom or as some new alien race because you are not. I wish you guys weren't so insecure. If u were secure u would not be concerned w/others opinions of u or that Paula Patton considers herself blk.
I feel like people who are first generation biracial/multiracial tend to have more complex issues. My best friend is a second generation biracial (black/white) and I am a multigenerational multiracial (black, white, and some Native), but we both identify as black, and our experiences are definitely not as negative or complex as first generation mixed-race people. We don't really identify with the word 'biracial' so much either, since our parents aren't necessarily of different races.
My racial makeup is as follows: BLACK, Seminole Indian, and Irish. I am BLACK for all reasonable intents and purposes but still am fascinated by my Indian and Irish genetics, too. You dumb "biracials" are what you look like when you walk in a fucking room. You look black, then you ARE BLACK you dumb fucks!
@mrbrandon71 The only dumb one here is YOU. You sound like a total ugly mess and no doubt you look like one. I'm a woman DUMBASS and YOU'RE a hybrid ape so go fuck yourself. You worthless, self-obsessed hybrid shit. Racial chaotic crap such as yours should only be stamped out and hopefully one day filth like you will cease to exist.
@TheJanetsvids fuck you you inbred whore! I am a FABULOUS looking man and the only ape in the room is your dumbass, bitch! FUCK YOU! And only a timid dumb bitch would talk this shit online....if you were here I'd have my girl Megan SMEAR your cunt ass all over the place you stupid bitch. Self obsessed.......I think not just by posting the truth you cunt. You Mother should have had her ass castrated by the Hitler regime and trash bitches like you would not exist! CUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNT!
You're an ugly half breed by the way. You are not the acceptable face of Black as far as I'm concerned. Luckily you freaks will remain the minority of minorities.
@TheJanetsvids You truly are an unattractive man, sir. No disrespect, but your parents must be incredibly unattractive and obviously your BLACK parent has totally failed you. Again, you are extremely homely and very much undesireable, sir.
The mutts feel this way because they wore borne out of hatred, by their nigga fathers and white trash mothers. They feel this way because they are brainless mutts who don't realise that unfortunately for us as Black people, they're are still too close to us ethnically. Certainly so much so that they should have some fucking respect and realise that not less than 60 years ago in some parts of the US, they'd have been illegal. I blame the white supremacy that they even exist.
If there is no father present then IMO, this is where you might find ppl being confused or self hating because they weren't able to identify with the father.
My theory comes from having my own mixed child and just simply observing all my life.
I'm only making this comment to bring up a discussion point on the matter.
Do you think a multi-racial person would identify with the fathers race, moreso than the mothers race. If the father is present in the home, then he and his race would be more influenced upon the child. If the father is black then the bi racial child may identify more with the African American culture. If the father is white, then the child may be more influenced to the Caucasian culture.
@DarkSim24 if the father is blk, which is most of the time then it usually means that he hates himself and the blk race and is quicker to breed with white women in hopes that he will erase his blkness through their offspring. Thus you have these tragically angry, confused people making these "I'm not blk!" "Please like me, my moms white, videos"
@17jayndoh SO true. Personally I think we should gas any negro person because the end result is tragic as you right point out. No negroes NO half breeds.
Y u guys have to to fight and have hate for each other. I'm black, chocolate skinned and I love me. I have bi-racial family members and I don't hate them being who u r as your character makes u who u are. I have been mistreated by both blacks and whites, and others, yet life goes on, and not everyone in that particular group has hurt u or mistreated u. God loves everyone, please understand hate for who u r and others is like a cacer eating bacteria that slowly destroys u.
I was looking for James Brown "Say it loud" and ended up on this bullshit? Fuck you pukes! I know for a fact that an all black pre 1865 family does not exist in American Society. The white man raped too many for that to be possible. Almost all blacks who come from slaves are 20% cracker by volume. Biracial? Bullshit. Two compounds mixed together usually nets a third compound, not a bi-compound. Ass-hat!
People who are black and white are black and white. They don't need to choose which they want to be, because they're both. That's their heritage, and people, neither black or white, should try to strip a biracial person of their identity. They are BLACK AND WHITE, half of their family is white and half of their family is black, so how is anyone going to tell them they have to foresake one side or the other???? That doesn't make sense.
@Alston427 they are! its like if i say i like being mixed with english german french canadian and native american im "trying" to be white. even though those same black people are the ones who made fun of me for looking white. yes i do in fact look alot more white than black if you dont beleive me check my facebook
@gatheringleaves wait i just realized i dont have my face on facebook lol. if you have instagram check me out on there my username is jeanpierre93 thats where i have all my pics
@SaySay208 I don't like their culture and I hate multiculturalism, Tbh I could wish Europe were only for Europeans. I like history and different cultures but African is the less interesting of all other cultures to me.
Great video. That is good that you are proud of both races you are mixed with.My race is black however I am mixed with different nationalities American, Liberian, Barbadian. People always say I should pick one or because I was born in America I am not Bajan or Liberia but that's what my roots are. Just like bi-racial/multi-racials should not just pick one race but embrace all.
I agree with your video entirely. Many people generalize without knowing a specific ethnic group simply because they lacked the exposure of getting to know that group growing up or choosed to pass judgement on the group as a whole based on their negative encounters with others.
im african american/nubian/black whatever you want to call it and i dont hate myself snd i know im better than caucasians/europeans/whites im bigger, stonger, faster, smarter, have the bigger dick, can go in the sun, soi dont know where people get this crap from..people can say their better than you your the stupid one to beleave it..some of its their own fault wanting to hangout and mingle with caucasians..we need to seperate..stop fighting in their wars..go back to our homeland and start ours
@DarkosApprentice19 you are ignorant and undermining the influence white supremacy and slavery still has on black people's mentality today. In america for 100's of years black people were told they was inferior...and this social mentality STILL exists in white and black minds today. When people decolonialse their minds in when self hate in black communities will cease to exist. So yes if we're getting technical it is the 'white' mans fault for the self hate.
Black People especially in the usa are very insecure and have very many mental problems. which is why they want to drag down biracials with them, People with two races in them are not black you fucking monkeys. Cut the bullshit.
Im African American and I think your nothing but a freakin idiot. You are a conceited, low life person who probably does nothing but vent out their frustrations on Black people all day but let me tell you something, NOBODY gives a DOGS BEHIND about you. You sound like a big baby whining and crying about how you wanna be White but guess what NOONE cares. If you wanna be White so badly then bleach your skin and dye your hair blonde so that you can feel better about yourself.
Oh then you REALLY should get the heck out of our business then. You want to claim that Black people have mental issues well guess who is the cause of all that? Thats right, YOUR people so now you got to live with the monster that you created
Typical "blame the white man" stuff. How is it the White Mans fault that black people hate themselves? slavery ended over 100 years ago and black people still havent got their shit together.
Because your the ones who built this wicked system. YOU are the ones who invented racism, colonization and oppression of other races and YOU seem to have NO shame in that. YOU people are the ones who created the one drop rule nonsense, Jim Crow laws and denying Black people their civil rights. It was YOU who started all this. If you just learned how to play NICELY in the first place NONE of this would have happened.
Well if it wasnt for slavery you would still be in africa, Also slaverys over, everyone has equal rights and the one drop rule is abolished. Even now where everyone in this country has equal rights blacks are still out there robbing stores and commiting crimes and etc.
But we wont be as psycologically damaged and as oppressed and plus, whats wrong with Africa? Africa is a rich continent of culture, beauty and well developing economies nowadays. Racism still exists, look at the comments that are here on this forum. And the Whites are committing the even BIGGER crimes such as the collaspe of this economy, oppression, theft, the housing market, just pure White collar crimes that have destroyed this nation and nobody is getting arrested for that
@DarkosApprentice I think its really a cheap shot for you to say look at blacks & the crime statistics.That's a stupid excuse for your ignorance.The problems in the black community are deeply entrenched just like that of the issues of other ethnicities,it goes way pass slavery.Whites are the domineering race of the world(meaning they possess more power than any other race),if you look at history it tells the story itself.Most whites aren't even willing to accept that about their cultural history
Who cares what other people think?! If you are happy, why would you even care about others opinions.. My children are bi-racial, I am white and my kids are black. You think I have never dealt with stupidity and ignorance?? It happens! It's sad and it's sorry, but who the hell cares?! I love my husband, I love my kids and I have raised them to believe they have the best of both worlds. Embrace your uniqueness and screw everyone else! Love who you love, and that starts with you hun...
Seriously, as a WN, here's the truth. If u are an achiever, no one can stop you. Stop trying to fit in and just kick ass in life. Seen many Salutatorians and Valedictorians who were mixed.
You think any talented jock, musician, doctor or lawyer who is mixed whines about their heritage? Shit, the ones I met made jokes about it!! They would apply to colleges and check black on one and white on the other and talk about what worked better. It was funny to the bright ones.
I am half black and Korean. Here's why I really regret my black heritage - I just wish I was fully Korean. I am an intellectual. I don't feel like there's any place for that with blacks. When I meet black people they mock me for reading or speaking properly or taking up intellectual pursuits. If I were just purely Asian, I think I would have it so much better because people would expect me to have the personality I have. So I do blame blacks for pushing stereotypes that I can't conform to.
@HyrbidHermit This truely depends on what type of black are you if you were African and not African American you proably wouldnt have to deal with that
@cbthrockarefaces You are right and make a very good point. Africans are different.
I hate stereotyping people, but it's just been frustrating that every African American I've met has given me the same treatment and expected my interests to conform to the culture. It's really aggravated me because I wish that there was no such thing as "acting black" and we could move from the stereotypes. But it's shocked me that the African Americans I've meet are the first to embrace stereotypes.
@HyrbidHermit Africans are really proud people... and have no insecurities, that say an African American person might. But that's not to say that all african-american people embrace negative stereotypes.. there are many prominent black people from the U.S that do strive and through away the influences from there rif-raf counterparts. But it's sad that you'd have to go through that. BTW I'm mixed(Ukrainian and Nigerian)
where u think blacks get it from? they get it from whites!!!! whites don't accept u as being white. do u remember the 1 drop rule? u r black in the eyes of whites. the biracial ppl are lost like the negros in America.
@hip1474 fuck you. no we arent. actually alot of my white friends just think im white. i have to remind them i have black in me as well. its the BLACKS who say "you arent black, stfu you aint black!" they are also the ones who threw rocks at me, pushed me into brick walls, made fun of me and almost drove me the brink of suicide at just 11. stop sterotyping and acting like blacks are the victim when us mixed race people go through more shit today.
@hip1474 yup, why do you think so many full bred blacks like saying "o im red bone o im yellow bone" if though they are as dark as the average african american
I dont hate my black side, but understand I am 1/4 black and 3/4 White (Russian/German). See, blacks claim us when they want to fight a point. But, if you were to hang around me for more than ten mins you would instantly start drilling how white I am and act. Fuck that! I never check black and it is so stupid this conversation is being discussed in 2012. FYI....my white side raised me, clothed me, feed me, nurtured me and cultured me....not my black side. So, am I still black.
I don't know why br" that are black/white hate their black side its amazing you don't hear this shite from black/asian or black/indian or the other two mixed with each other or white with that. Black,indian,asian=miniority. White=majority that keeps people seperate as this whole 1drop rule I seen black/indian was considered mixed race and not b/w. Most ppl stat have black in u your blk no just when it comes to the white and the other races
We need to stop saying people "don't count" as an ethnicity because they are mixed. Phrases such as this translate into "you don't count as a human." This is one of the causes as to why people hate who they are (and commit suicide). Being in a racially divided world, if you say someone doesn't count as a certain ethnicity (whether if their skin color, manners, or attitude is non-steretypical), you're basically saying they don't cut it when it comes to being human. Ridiculous.
Cool video, but we need to broaden our image of what "mixed" looks like. I know people who are mixed, yet others do not believe they are, because their skin is either too fair (white) or too dark (black). Just like any ethnicity, mixed people come in a variety of colors. Not all mixed people are "high-yellow," "red-boned," or "light-skinned." There is the occasional, white-skinned mixed person and black-skinned mixed person.
i have many biracial people in my family my mother is biracial.One thing I do know about biracial people is they perfer to be around other biracial people
Mullatos have always contributed almost exclusively to polluting white blood because any animosity or violence they recieve from whites for being different is always ten times worse from the other end.
@ZaydelZemirah Duh, obviously ''European'' beauty IS the standard of beauty in the West!! Obviously. In Africa it's different, in Asia it's different, why can't white people promote there own self image in there own countries. The only weak brainwashed people are the immigrants who look up to white people and down on themselves, thats no ones fault but there own.
@EnglishFever America isnt suppose to be a "European country".....America wasnt built soley by Europeans, many other people of different ethnicities helped build America into what it is today....so why should Europeans be the standard of Beauty? We arent all European thus we can never fully look like a European, does that make us inferior? its so bad that We live in a country where if your hair is kinky or extremely curly, its hard for you to be socially accepted, because Europeans dont like it.
@ZaydelZemirah - What do you mean? It was settled by the pilgrims and then settled by waves of European immigrants? Who ''built the country'', black people were only the labour force, the slaves, there was no mind muscle being exercised. PLUS white people are not black and would rather elevate there own culture, the Asians are the same, black people are the ONLY people that seek acceptance from there 'masters', dress like there masters, talk the language and act like there masters, there SLAVES.
@EnglishFever true enough about blacks seeking acceptance, but thats not where I'm going with this....Everybody (not just blacks, but everybody in america) are brainwashed into this mentality that European features are the standard a beauty that we should live up to. and bi-racial children such as the ones that you see on these videos are living examples of that....this isnt rocket science, we even talk about these kind of issues in high school, lets be real.
One of my friends who is BR, his sister does this all the time. She even has a Black Planet page identifying herslef as a "Puerto Rican" WTF LOL. My friend says I cant date a white girl, but your mother is white LOL. Sometimes I feel growing up in the "hood" warps peoples mindset, anyway good video brotha.
@mwtwyman But what my problem is with SOME BIRACIAL PEOPLE, they seem to only want to be black when they around black people, but when some of them get around white or fare skin biracials or blacks, SOME switch up.
@mwtwyman I feel you bro, im a black male and there some black people that should feel ashamed of saying "your not black enough" or whatever non sense SOME may say. I havebiracial friends who I consider all of us to be the same based on how, and where we grew up.
I was ridiculed by many black kids growing up but not many white kids nor Asian nor hispanic. I had 3 black friends 5 Asian friends and an abundance of Hispanic friends. Now I have 3 trusty Hispanic friends and 1 one white one. But I still like Blake people just because a few sour apples are in the bunch doesn't make the whole batch bad.
Why am I suposed to like someone who Im not even related to? All in my school were pure Russian except me being light brown, and all in the family was white as well. I find it disturbing to even being in the same room with a negro, that just automatically makes me feel uncomfortable.
@dangar45 Why do you feel disturbed to be in a same person with a negro and you are suppose to be half negro. I understand you were around whites most of the them but what is so disturbing about black people? Is it because you have not been exposed to black people enough?
Therefore, I am neither one or the other but a new race. And it pisses a lot of blacks off and they have nothing nice to say about that. Calling me racist. I know not every black person is mean or disrespectful. But I have to say that from my experience most have been to me. I except both sides as my race. Which is my right. Does not make me racist its just my identity. I don't hate black people but I do hate racist telling me Im racist. And so far its mostly blacks I get it from.
I would have to say more black people hated on me than whites. And I would have to say about maybe 1 out of 18 blacks I have come across would say something racist to me. It is generalizing because most blacks (Americans) from what I have experienced had a negative reaction to me. Always asking me 'Why do I act white' or 'Why don't I like rap music' or why I don't consider myself black. I don't consider myself black because I am not black just black. I am black and white, mixed.
@LupDomnitor My race is black but my heritage is Liberian-American/Bajan and some of the black people who I came across would make fun of me because I have African blood. Mind you the majority of them ancestors came from Africa. They would say ignorant things because of what they saw on the Discovery Channel and the National Geographic Channel which shows a negative representation of Africa.
@SaySay208 I grew up in Russia, everyone there is white. I don't like them for that but because they are the same nationality as me, everything other is foreign for me so why should I like it or be associated with some other things I am not.
@dangar45 Didn't you say you were bi-racial black/white? I understand where you are coming but I wanted to know why would you feel uncomfortable around black people and you are half black although you grew up in Russia. I am black and I am mixed with different heritages and for me I enjoy diversity and I like to get to know people who are different from me but at the same time get to know people who are the same heritage as me.
I like this video. thanks for posting this up. I'm multiracial ,my mom and stepdad raised me to love black heritage. I find it messed up I was rarely accepted in black communities. so most of my friends were white,asian,mixed. I guess it depends on the communities you grow up in and who acccepts you. Hard to find where to fit in sometimes
I like you because you are the first biracial person on youtube that I have seen that doesn't hate your black side. It kind of hurts my heart that biracial people who are black and white diss the black side of them. It's like wow what did we do that you can just hate one side of you so bad. I guess it's the way some of them were raised. I know you're thankful to be raised by parents who taught you to love all of who you are:)
@Alexsh2010 You are right. It was the way were raised. Being constantly ridiculed by other blacks and called names hurts. It makes you hate, angry and leaves you bitter. Try to answer that question ''What did we do that you can hate one side so bad?'' Ask those bi-racials those questions. I didn't even know my parents were different races til a pro-black told me. Then let me know I was yellow.
@LupDomnitor I totally agree! Also that is crazy that that person did that to you but I can also relate. I'm not biracial but a am a dark skinned african american female that has been called all sorts of names by my own people simply because my skin was a little darker.I can't hate black people for that though because I know our history and it's a pretty screwed up one if you ask me. Plus, I have wonderful black friends who don't judge on something as petty as complexion.
@Alexsh2010 Wow really you get that from other blacks? I never even thought that would happen that is so sad and messed up! I think that there are just some really mean people out there that are angry and want to make other people miserable. I guess ppl like you and I just need to stick to our own kind and thats people that are kind and respectful :)
I've always felt resentment towards the black community because of the disordinate amount of attention that was placed upon my mixed features. I've always felt like black men are attracted to what is NOT black about me whereas other men have liked what IS black about me
3) Some come out lookin more White, some more black. The ones who come out lookin more white try to act "Blacker" and the ones who come out more black try to act "Whiter". So a constant need of ACCEPTANCE
4) They try at some point in their lives (esp.teenage years) to fit in with Blacks.So they listen to rap, play basketball, dress ghetto,talk slang and when blacks dont accept them and say they're acting to hard...they get upset :(!!!
5) They think their better and prettier then blacks.
lol,a lot of biracial people are pathetic,haha.although their complexion is more black than anything,they still cannot accept the fact that they are consider black;most black do not like biracial because of their condescending attitude
@slivenne I agree many bi-racials dont want to be black, they want to be white and white people veiw them as black...We know the real deal on bi racials
while on the other hand Bizzy Bone a famouse rapper, has a black father white mother i guess he would be a bi racial black male? what are your thoughts or any one else who is bi racial. Me myself I don't try to classify anyone, so my question is not to force any one into that belief it's more to get understanding for myself.
mwtwyman, alot of people don't talk about the saying " you are who your father is" what is your take on that theory? I am not saying I am politicly correct or anything but through history and tradition in the past it's always been that the child takes on the traits or culture of his or her father. For example El Debarge a famouse singer has a black mother and a white father would't he be a bi racial caucasian male?
im korean/not asian,Theres a differance.I was born in Seoul,korea.:Languages Korean and english. Im half black and white.People always say just becouse i speak Korean im not black but i dont like being classified as 1 race becouse im mixed. CHECKout my channel and dont forget too SUBSRIBE! PEACE!
im korean/not asian,Rheres a differance.I was born in Seoul,korea.:anguages Korean and english. Im half black and white.People always say just becouse i speak Korean im not black but i dont like being classified as 1 race becouse im mixed. CHECKout my channel and dont forget too SUBSRIBE! PEACE!
I judge people by their character, not their DNA. There are two people in this world : Dumb Asses and Intellectuals. Im Black American and in Cali there are a lot of Bi-racials that think their better but thats just "colonized" thinking just as we have this stupid dark skin light skin crap. Idk we have better things to worry about like poverty etc. but yet we continue to fret on this issue...
@singsing4753 ...I have travelled extensively. I am a African American woman and i have learned alot about different peoples and their culture, which is a interest for me. However, i have found regardless of where i go because i am "black" i've experienced racism. I do release myself and also prepare myself. Racism is all over the world big time especially for "blacks"! I've been to Europe, Africa and Asia.
. in african mix race will never be seen as black. i will never think that biracial/mix race people are black. They are not black. obama is not black. i dont care whether or not mix race people identify as black, they are not. Considering what obama is doing in Africa, and how he has help to kill thousands of my ethnic black group in libya, i will never look at a biracial person as black. Obama is not the first black president
The america that we live in doesn't seem to favor us sometimes black or interracial. I want so much to be able to sit and talk with any race or culture without being judged based on my skin color or culture. Let's get to know each other as individuals.
Thanks for putting this out there Marcus. I think you hit the nail right on the head and in judging from some of the semi nasty responses…you were right on bro!
Since the days of slavery, color has been used as a tool of separation and preferential treatment among African Americans. The residue of the "house" and "field" negro divide has long remained with us even during the 1970s as we celebrated black pride..
Well me personally though i'm mixed(Black and Arabic) I identify as Arabic. Not because I hate my black side but I just look Arab. I look like my dad, so it's easier for me to just say that instead of explaining being mixed. It's not selfhate but more convience, really. Another thing is I grew up more around the Arab culture. The language, food, tradition. I'm just more comfortable with that :)
This issue is very new to me, I'm Black Bitish and I'm in my early twenties, I now realise that I have a vast mixture of friends, right from David = Chinese and Vietnamese, Theodor = Polish, Khaled = Yemeni, Ibrahim = Bangladeshi, Callum = British Bi-racial (black and white), Saz = Korean, Kemi = French etc and those are just some of the guys and gals. We all get along well even with the odd race based joke now and then which everyone is entertained by.
Simple, one side hates you and vilifies you- and you remember it for the rest of your life. Most racist people towards mixed people are black, so not a surprise why they don't like them.
I'm black but not Black American in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, I'm specifically from West Africa but lived half my life in the states and a citizen so I'm Black American but not the "other" Black American. As such, my culture differs from theirs but I'm often confused as being intentionally different for a (traditional) Black American which I'm not. Anyhow, culture is and should be the chief distinguishing factor among people, not the simple and obvious: skin color.
@nlytend1 I agree with you completely! Culture is really the only thing that really distinguishes between groups of people. People are people...that's the long term goal that I want people who view my videos to understand and accept. Thank you so much for your comment! Best Regards.
@doomheart2001 then why was we made different ? it was because who ever created us wanted us to be different . no to divide us ! so it is ok do say i am black or i am white or i am brown . as long as you understand that we are human . just because we are not the same . do not mean i should hate you . it means hey you are white . i am black . but we both are human . and we both are some body . then we will see each other as human again . it,s not the color . it,s the respect and love as a human
@doomheart2001 lets get a clear understanding my friend . i no that i am human . but every time i look for a job . it ask me what color are you . so it,s kind of hard to for get what color you are . no one has the right to tell black people what race means . who no better then us about that . i am not ashamed of who i am . and i can also say i love all people at the same time . so no your4 facts before you speak . it is the wise thing to do .
what is a mixed race ? according to the law of the land part black means your black . and who can rip the black part out of you ? no one . if you are part black that black part of you will never go any ware . even if you dont claim your black side . it,s there . but i feel some of the back lash comes from a lot of part black . part white that sway from there black side . if you are black and white get to no the black side also . and the hell with what other black people say you are apart of us
@nizzotheartist Do you think it's right to live life by "The Law Of The Land"? I don't. I live based on how I feel and who I know myself to be. Whether someone else accepts my identity or not is not my problem, it's theirs. I am taking a stance that is trying to help others understand where other biracial people as well as myself are coming from rather than turning my back on those who follow "The Law Of The Land".
@mwtwyman I understand were your coming from 2 of my kids will face the same things you face . because there mother is Asian . Im the kind of person that deal with reality . we will all ways see the color of our skin as a factor . we cant change who we are . so we have to learn to respect the fact that we are different . but as humans we are still the same . when i said the law of the land . do not mean i agree with the law . but we are in America . A country with to faces !
@mwtwyman Great response!! I hear similar "The Law Of The Land" comments all the time and they are directed towards me. Sometimes it gets pretty hard responding to people who, purposely, ask you 'What are you?" and then when you truthly answer, mixed, they begin telling you their opinion of what you are. Which NEVER sits well with me. Good vid!
@nizzotheartist This is part of the issue. As a biracial person myself, I HATE it when some black people throw the "one drop rule" around. I just don't understand it. It is a racism, piece of bullshit pseudo-scientific law that was put in place by white people to keep their slave numbers plentiful. It was created to oppress us (both blacks and biracials), why some black people still choose to rally behind this is a wonder to me.
@ultramutt We didnt make that rule up . The reason why we still talk about it is because that rule still applies ! When you look for a job do it say biracial ? No and even if it did it,s only telling the employer that you are part black . And if that employer is races . then he will imply that one drop rule get it ? He will say this person has black in them . There for i will imply the one drop rule . And there application will be denied . Thats why we still talk about the one drop rule .
@nizzotheartist I don't know which job applications you have been filling out, but I've never had to reveal my race on a job application. I'm pretty sure if an employer did ask for that information they would be breaking all sorts of laws.
White people made the rules and we all still adhere to them. Remember, that 1/16 rule? Yeah, anybody who wants to complain that they're forced to pick a "race" can go whine to the people who socialized everybody to believe that. Now everybody wants to say "but I'm mixed with----" ...that's great, too bad there's only one race.

Hey, if you're half black and half white ... and you can't deal with the black side. Why don't you cross on over to the white side? The majority of blacks don't give a damn. Claim the race that you want to claim. A lot of you biracial folks are just pissed off because a lot of blacks won't kiss your ass. Being half white doesn't make you special. Don't believe that? Go on down to Mississippi & the deep south & ask some of them white folks you love so much. They'll tell you! LMAO!!!!

Therefore white people can tell the difference.

I think it's because they dont like being told that they are just African and nothing else, people try to make them deny their Asian or European heritage, it's disgusting and cruel and I just wont do it. Plus African American culture and Language is stupid and doesnt appeal to me at all. I embrace all of my heritages, but since people tend to think having some African ancestry, makes you all African that makes it somewhat difficult

The only way your not a person of color if you are 100% white as white people have no color.
If you are 1/16 black then you are STILL a person of color.

I feel like people who are first generation biracial/multiracial tend to have more complex issues. My best friend is a second generation biracial (black/white) and I am a multigenerational multiracial (black, white, and some Native), but we both identify as black, and our experiences are definitely not as negative or complex as first generation mixed-race people. We don't really identify with the word 'biracial' so much either, since our parents aren't necessarily of different races.

Do you think a multi-racial person would identify with the fathers race, moreso than the mothers race. If the father is present in the home, then he and his race would be more influenced upon the child. If the father is black then the bi racial child may identify more with the African American culture. If the father is white, then the child may be more influenced to the Caucasian culture.

When I meet black people they mock me for reading or speaking properly or taking up intellectual pursuits. If I were just purely Asian, I think I would have it so much better because people would expect me to have the personality I have.

I don't know why br" that are black/white hate their black side its amazing you don't hear this shite from black/asian or black/indian or the other two mixed with each other or white with that. Black,indian,asian=miniority. White=majority that keeps people seperate as this whole 1drop rule I seen black/indian was considered mixed race and not b/w. Most ppl stat have black in u your blk no just when it comes to the white and the other races

We need to stop saying people "don't count" as an ethnicity because they are mixed. Phrases such as this translate into "you don't count as a human." This is one of the causes as to why people hate who they are (and commit suicide). Being in a racially divided world, if you say someone doesn't count as a certain ethnicity (whether if their skin color, manners, or attitude is non-steretypical), you're basically saying they don't cut it when it comes to being human. Ridiculous.

Cool video, but we need to broaden our image of what "mixed" looks like. I know people who are mixed, yet others do not believe they are, because their skin is either too fair (white) or too dark (black). Just like any ethnicity, mixed people come in a variety of colors. Not all mixed people are "high-yellow," "red-boned," or "light-skinned." There is the occasional, white-skinned mixed person and black-skinned mixed person.

@ZaydelZemirah Duh, obviously ''European'' beauty IS the standard of beauty in the West!! Obviously. In Africa it's different, in Asia it's different, why can't white people promote there own self image in there own countries. The only weak brainwashed people are the immigrants who look up to white people and down on themselves, thats no ones fault but there own.

@EnglishFever America isnt suppose to be a "European country".....America wasnt built soley by Europeans, many other people of different ethnicities helped build America into what it is today....so why should Europeans be the standard of Beauty? We arent all European thus we can never fully look like a European, does that make us inferior? its so bad that We live in a country where if your hair is kinky or extremely curly, its hard for you to be socially accepted, because Europeans dont like it.

@ZaydelZemirah - What do you mean? It was settled by the pilgrims and then settled by waves of European immigrants? Who ''built the country'', black people were only the labour force, the slaves, there was no mind muscle being exercised. PLUS white people are not black and would rather elevate there own culture, the Asians are the same, black people are the ONLY people that seek acceptance from there 'masters', dress like there masters, talk the language and act like there masters, there SLAVES.

@EnglishFever true enough about blacks seeking acceptance, but thats not where I'm going with this....Everybody (not just blacks, but everybody in america) are brainwashed into this mentality that European features are the standard a beauty that we should live up to. and bi-racial children such as the ones that you see on these videos are living examples of that....this isnt rocket science, we even talk about these kind of issues in high school, lets be real.

Therefore, I am neither one or the other but a new race. And it pisses a lot of blacks off and they have nothing nice to say about that. Calling me racist. I know not every black person is mean or disrespectful. But I have to say that from my experience most have been to me. I except both sides as my race. Which is my right. Does not make me racist its just my identity. I don't hate black people but I do hate racist telling me Im racist. And so far its mostly blacks I get it from.

I would have to say more black people hated on me than whites. And I would have to say about maybe 1 out of 18 blacks I have come across would say something racist to me. It is generalizing because most blacks (Americans) from what I have experienced had a negative reaction to me. Always asking me 'Why do I act white' or 'Why don't I like rap music' or why I don't consider myself black. I don't consider myself black because I am not black just black. I am black and white, mixed.

@LupDomnitor My race is black but my heritage is Liberian-American/Bajan and some of the black people who I came across would make fun of me because I have African blood.

I like you because you are the first biracial person on youtube that I have seen that doesn't hate your black side. It kind of hurts my heart that biracial people who are black and white diss the black side of them. It's like wow what did we do that you can just hate one side of you so bad. I guess it's the way some of them were raised. I know you're thankful to be raised by parents who taught you to love all of who you are:)

@Alexsh2010 You are right. It was the way were raised. Being constantly ridiculed by other blacks and called names hurts. It makes you hate, angry and leaves you bitter. Try to answer that question ''What did we do that you can hate one side so bad?'' Ask those bi-racials those questions. I didn't even know my parents were different races til a pro-black told me. Then let me know I was yellow.

@LupDomnitor I totally agree! Also that is crazy that that person did that to you but I can also relate. I'm not biracial but a am a dark skinned african american female that has been called all sorts of names by my own people simply because my skin was a little darker.I can't hate black people for that though because I know our history and it's a pretty screwed up one if you ask me. Plus, I have wonderful black friends who don't judge on something as petty as complexion.

4) They try at some point in their lives (esp.teenage years) to fit in with Blacks.So they listen to rap, play basketball, dress ghetto,talk slang and when blacks dont accept them and say they're acting to hard...they get upset :(!!!
5) They think their better and prettier then blacks.

Few mixed folks deny their black side. To most black people, claiming your white half at all makes you a "traitor."
We aren't the ones with the problem in most cases.

mwtwyman, alot of people don't talk about the saying " you are who your father is" what is your take on that theory? I am not saying I am politicly correct or anything but through history and tradition in the past it's always been that the child takes on the traits or culture of his or her father. For example El Debarge a famouse singer has a black mother and a white father would't he be a bi racial caucasian male?

Since the days of slavery, color has been used as a tool of separation and preferential treatment among African Americans. The residue of the "house" and "field" negro divide has long remained with us even during the 1970s as we celebrated black pride..

Well me personally though i'm mixed(Black and Arabic) I identify as Arabic. Not because I hate my black side but I just look Arab. I look like my dad, so it's easier for me to just say that instead of explaining being mixed. It's not selfhate but more convience, really. Another thing is I grew up more around the Arab culture. The language, food, tradition. I'm just more comfortable with that :)

I'm black but not Black American in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, I'm specifically from West Africa but lived half my life in the states and a citizen so I'm Black American but not the "other" Black American. As such, my culture differs from theirs but I'm often confused as being intentionally different for a (traditional) Black American which I'm not. Anyhow, culture is and should be the chief distinguishing factor among people, not the simple and obvious: skin color.
