There is no confusion to being mixed: you are what your parents are

[TheBigfranco1]

@huntyourmama It was an accident, I was using my iPhone to reply

[TheBigfranco1]

@BoriGuANiCA I have met some that say they are Puerto Rican but they are really half black half white which no Latino background

[TheBigfranco1]

@huntyourmama @blackimpressions Mind your own damn business fool, no one was talking to YOU, Im a 2nd generation American so you can fuck off! I don't like it when mulattos with no latino background lie and claim to be a Latino

[BoriGuANiCA]

@TheBigfranco1 I've never met a biracial who claimed to be latino, so wtf are you talking about???

[huntyourmama]

@TheBigfranco1 Why did you put my name in that? I have nothing to do with what you two are talking about.

[blackimpressions]

Hay! To the person below,read all my comments before you send me messages. I said she ain't black, that's my point.

[huntyourmama]

@blackimpressions Like I said... If you don't like us then feel free to go hide under a rock for the rest of your life cause we're not going anywhere.

[blackimpressions]

@huntyourmama I'm not hiding any where, this is my race, and my identity,my problem is not with you, its with your black parent who has done this unthinkable act, my people the black race has to rebuild and restructure their society, their relationships their families and their communities, interracial relationships is an distraction, and harmful it can put an end to my community. F that, I'm fighting that, WE AIN'T GOING NO WHERE EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!

[huntyourmama]

@blackimpressions There you go now your becoming educated. The black race the white race the asians the mexicans the indians...all of your races are dying and being replaced with us the bi-racials... whether we come in mixes of mexican black indian white asian or whatever...u cant deny the truth. We run this world and few hundred years from now our kind will become 99% of the population.

[blackimpressions]

@huntyourmama don't think so, there are plenty of people who don't want to mix in, but you keep dreaming tootsie, in the mean time you got about two hundred more years to go.

[huntyourmama]

@blackimpressions Denial huh...to sit there and pretend that you can't see how vast the bi-racial population is compared to the rest. Have fun with that.

[blackimpressions]

@huntyourmama ah, sweetheart, again, how many people in the world are there???? huh,last time I checked it was about 7 billion, okay, most people are pure breeds,how many americans, about 300 million, how many miixed americans about 7 million, I'm not in denial, you are, you got a long long long way to go, most people feel more comfortable around their own race, so your great race mixing is far off in a dream so keep dreaming.

[huntyourmama]

@blackimpressions Haha it's funny that you tried to throw in numbers. I can see now ur very uneducated so talkin bout this has become pointless. I'll take some time to teach u some things tho so be thankful. Bi-racial has only recently become an option for the world. Originally everyone could only choose 1 race...ever noticed your job applications over the years? That being said the numbers on ur "statistics" are false and the numbers are much higher and will show soon.

[vutube379]

Good for you! Be true to yourself!

[MrDestruction25]

your a mulatto

[TheBigfranco1]

@chsn09 In Latino so I get offended when these half coons associate themselves with something they are not

[blackimpressions]

@TheBigfranco1 mind your own business, or I'll bounce your ass right back over the boarder, you're not sopose to be here anyway,and latino is not even a race you ass.

[TheBigfranco1]

@lucy9359 I agree with the natives, they are almost extinct and they don't have to claim you

[blackimpressions]

Black people see you as black because they have to fraternalize you, other wize they'll view you as different, that's a natural human trate, all humans are like that, its who we are as human beings,we are tribal and clanish,we identify with our groups, that's who we are as a spiecies,it's never going to change.human being identify with their group identities,and in order for you to fit in a group,especially black, you have to be them, other wize they'll see you as a memeber of an out side group.

[blackimpressions]

IF BIRRACIALS HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY, IF THAY HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES, ALL THESE GRIEVENCES WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY WITH BLACK AMERICANS WHY CLAIM MY RACE AT ALL????? WHTAS THE POINT. JUST LEAVE.AND TRY TO AVOID THE BLACK COMMUNITY AL TOGATHER,

[huntyourmama]

@blackimpressions Haha nothing you say makes sense... My dad is black so Ima claim myself as half black. Yeah some black people have a problem with it but fuck them Im not gona hate my white mom. So if any black or white people have a problem with us mixed breeds then you all should stay away from us and go hide cause I promise you our kind isn't going anywhere and in fact our population gets bigger every year.

[blackimpressions]

@huntyourmama Well sweetheart, you can claim HALF my race all you want, it's rather or not we'll claim you, look, I really don't care, you guys are the ones who have been crying lately when black people identify you as their kind, you have to make up your mind, are you black,or are you not, pick one, and stick with one, no flip flopping.

[vutube379]

@blackimpressions She doesn't have to deny either. She bi-racial period!

[ellisonmakaveli1]

@blackimpressions Mutts only claim our race when they find it necessary and for their own benefit but any other day they're complaining about being lumped in with us as if it's a fucking curse. Don't trust them.

[huntyourmama]

@ellisonmakaveli1 You're an idiot... Her dad is black so you're trying to say she only loves her dad when it benefits her? And do explain when does your race benefit us? Nothing about black or white people benefit us in any way. What benefits us is the care we got from our parents.

[blackimpressions]

Your not black sweet heart.

[MsNellyChan]

@blackimpressions If not Black then Moor maybe?

[blackimpressions]

@MsNellyChan but the moors are from north africa, are you from north africa?

[blackimpressions]

@MsNellyChan One thing I hate about mixed people, and this gets under my skin, thay dont want to be black, but thay want to have everything in the black community, I'M BLACK, BUT DON'T CALL ME BLACK,.. BULLSHIT.

[blackimpressions]

Your mixed right.

[blackimpressions]

Your not black eough to be black.

[rubberboots23]

Thank you!! I have absolutely no problem nor have i ever had one with identifying who i was.. Ur race shouldnt define you..your personality and character should!

[jkbezo]

Good video! True.

[bellacortez]

thank you..ive been saying that for the longest...evryone wants accept other people who are mixed...but when you are "mulatto", people and especially want to say that you are not mixed but black! OBVIOUSLY your not full black or white because one person is white and one is black!..However it is being

[bellacortez]

more accepted..because the 2010 census says more people are identifying them selves as biracial(black and white), but I do not like that we are Categorized as White(mix) with black!...We are not white(mix) or black(mix) we are just mixed! Plus no one of full race( two parents of the same race) can tell you what you are or should call your self!

[lucy9359]

@celena332 thank you I agree we are all beautiful as peoples of this world! I have friends from every race and I am proud of them all!

[rockbottom23]

"If you do not understand 'white' supremacy (as racism)--what it is, and how it works--everything else that you understand, will only confuse you".Dr. Neely Fuller Jr.

RACISM: A global system of people who classify themselves as white, and are dedicated to abusing and or subjugating everyone in the known universe whom they classify as "NOT WHITE" No matter what u believe you are the system affirms U R "not white" & will be treated as such! Google "The C.O.W.S" 4 better Overstanding!

[lucy9359]

your right acsept that native americans insist that people who are half white are white...happens to me all the time...I actually had so much racism toward me from the native people I just completely integrated my self into white culture and can't be bothered with native americans....

[Astutechick]

Excellent video!!!

[tiderson1]

Once again here is biracial telling us about the one drop rule, this biracial is not black and never be excepted by the black community she is a biracial extremist. We know most biracials are terrorists

[Brahmanfire]

All races aside, like I could give a shit about that anyways. May I just refer to your race as Caramel sweetheart? Because Mmmm mmm mm. your skin tone and eyes and complexion is SOOOO beautiful!!! :)))

And you have an Open mind and Heart!!! So Sexy, more ladies should take you as an example of a real women!

Garauntee.... if you were racist and hate filled... your smile would not be nearly as beautiful and bright!

:P Sry i have a soft spot for brown sugar ;)

Peace and GodBless everyone.

[Brahmanfire]

Food and physical nourishment and it's effects upon the body are scientifically verifiable and pretty clear cut, you Are what you Eat.

Idea's and emotions are much more difficult to quantify and measure in terms of their effects upon our bodies and lives.

But Heed My Words!!! Just as food is the fuel of your body, SO TO ARE THOUGHTS, BELIEFS, AND IDEAS THE FUEL FOR YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS.

Honestly, If many of you simply had more LOVE in your life, you wouldn't find the time to hate.

[Brahmanfire]

when you fill your body with fast food and junk and a shitty diet all the time you feel like shit, have little energy, and your body does not function well at all.

So also is what we fill our hearts with going to affect our experience of life. Those filled with peace and love and acceptance wear smiles across their faces and have lives that reflect Joy. Those filling their hearts with hatred wear frowns, feel unhappy, unfulfilled, are less healthy, and are prone to their Heart's attacking them

[Brahmanfire]

*Sigh............ I'm not even going to get started on these comments... I read a couple and I can see where the conversation is going and is coming from.

Ultimately, Hatred and Intolerance are diseases of the Heart, a burden one carries within themselves by choice, until something inside of them shifts or they have an experience which blows their racist views out of the water, empty their heart of the ignorance, and Fill it's place with Love and acceptance.

Your hate, your health, your life

[chsn09]

@SkullCrusherer I am mixed up as well and I think anyone using racist insults like nigger, niglet, monkey etc are racist or perpetuating the racism themselves. I know some biracials who call themselves Cuban or Puerto Rican so they don't get called biracial or black. SO SAD.

[chsn09]

@SkullCrusherer YES. Tell that to some other biracial people on here that go around calling people nigger when it is an insult to them as well. The funny thing is that most black people in the USA are actually mixed themselves so it has a long history. At the end of the day it is white vs non white.

[chsn09]

@WhereYaBoss I just find it funny how many biracials have no problems calling themselves CUBAN or other nationalities to avoid being called biracial in fear of being called black. SAD INDEED

[marclanders1000]

@chsn09 LOLLLLLL LATINO IS A RACE STIPID AFROCENTRIST FRENCH CARIBENN BLACK OS NOTTTTTTTTT A RACE FORGET WHAT I WAS SAYING?? WE CAN REPORT YOU FOR AFROCENTRISM AND VIOLATION OF IDENTITY SHUT FUK UP AND MOVE

[WhereYaBoss]

@chsn09 Yea Biracialgirl is feeling herself because she knows damn well if Obama ran as a mulatto/biracial he would not be our president. If he came out saying "I'm not black. I'm mixed. So stop calling me black, damn it!" Homeboy would be in Chicago today working on a civil trial as Michelle's apprentice.

[chsn09]

@WhereYaBoss

It is sad though how some biracials can call themselves things like Italian, or Puerto Rican or even Cuban, and think that having black in them does NOT apply to their identity but meanwhile they don't want to be seen as self hating but go around using racist insults at black people and part black ppl. SO SAD. I know a briacial dude on YT that does that SMFH.

[chsn09]

@SkullCrusherer LMFAO xD. I agree. It is funny how some mixed people use the one drop rule to point out the black as bad in other mixed or mixed black people and then have the nerve when the same thing is imposed on them by accident or coincidentally.

I have seen some biracial people treat another person as being "black" and thus stereotypically and negative" etc in mindset when they are mixed and express pride in their black side and they call them afrocentric or "niggers" SMFH

[cedricrlongreen]

You are really pretty

[cedricrlongreen]

Actually the way I experienced it when someone was half black half anything people would say "you're Black" regardless if u were half Black half Mexican,half Black half white, half Black half Asian etc.

[kazeet456]

you need to work on the audio for your vids

[hardknocke9]

Hahaha.. are you serious, Italians hate black people a vast majority, its just now they show it in a more friendly racist way over here especially the ones in my Architectural class. Even the Vatican condemned Italy for being racist But it's cool if you claim Italian you do have their features and they probably would accept you for it but a 'Scuro' like me haha no way I have a better chance of kicking it with some Mexicans over here in East South Central LA.

[MsNellyChan]

@hardknocke9 @WhereYaBoss I cant stand it when I see comments like this. Yes in every culture there are racist people and there aren't. Yes I'm sure there are Italians who hate it that blacks and italians mix..bla bla, Here is the thing about being two races and being one person... I see who I am as I grew up and I can't see who I am as what a majority of the people think. There are no racist italians in my mom's family and they are all from Italian and living all over europe. When my parents

[ambientclouds]

Hello MsNellyChan, I was wondering if you could tell me what an "Army Brat" is because I hear that term alot and I don't know what it means. Also, I think your video makes alot of sense, and you seem like a very well-rounded person. So you consider yourself mixed, so do I, my mother is white and she doesn't care how I identify, so I hate it when blacks always try to play and Us vs Them mentality saying all whites consider mulattos just black because everyone's different.

[MultiSmartass1]

@MsNellyChan Your points are valid, salient and correct here.

Being biracial myself, I find that logic is thrown out the window in dealing with most people on this topic.

Blacks have a unique take on biraciality since they insist on labeling all biracials as black because they have adopted the one drop rule which ironically was created by whites to stigmaztize people of mixed race and blacks.

I notice that whites don't like biracials but they dislike them because they are of mixed race.

[lucy9359]

@MsNellyChan I love this comment I also see who I am as who I grew up because I was taught things which came from two cultures...my parent! and to avoid controversy I tend to just say my mother came from native anscestory while my father was Irish...I don't say I am either race though I must admit I am more inclined toward white culture as I am in white culture not native culture so I don't consider myself native....I don't have any interest in pow wows or drums I do like their cooking though!

[MsNellyChan]

@hardknocke9 got married nobody cared. One point I was trying to make with this video was that nobody can tell you who you are. We all grow up in our homes where nothing that goes on outside has any type of influence inside.

[ambientclouds]

Continued

Also in your everyday experiences, has anyone ever seen you as just black before, because some white kids said that to me one time and I was just wondering if you had a similar experience. Also what is your natural complexion because the light in this video makes it kind of hard to tell although I can definitely tell your not dark-skinned. I guess that's about it. Peace

[ambientclouds]

@MsNellyChan

You ever been to Italy before?

Also my mother's side of the family is from Poland, Hungary, and Russia just wanted to tell you that as well as the fact that I think your baby's adorable

[chsn09]

@MsNellyChan Mexican and Puerto Rican are NOT races lmao

[ilovetherain100]

MsNelly.

Thank you for this video.

It is time black folks stop harranging the bi-racial kids, saying they hate themselves if they try to acknowledge & respect both their parents.. It's getting really tired.

Slave days are gone and I am truly sorry that even happened. EVERYBODY needs to get on board with that fact and start believing it.

Everybody needs to respect themselves and be proud of who they are; whatever your skin colour or mix.

Stop persecuting yourselves, other people, whatever.

[Tarheels80]

I would like to see a picture of your parents :)

[WhereYaBoss]

And for the record, don't try to put the One drop rule on black people as if we created it. That rule is held up by white supremacist who don't consider anyone with an ounce of black blood "White". Those are the KKK rules of our society. So take that up with them. When Italians stop discriminating against black people then blacks will start thinking of you 'Italian & black". But it's hard when the majority them would never let you claim to be Italian. Make a video about that.

[MsNellyChan]

@WhereYaBoss When did I say that black people created the one drop rule? If you want to know how I feel about it: I don't like it I think it's racist. Um... my mom is Italian...I'm italian regardless of what anybody who hates black people think. My family who are Italian, who live in Italy... Um... they don't hate black people.. i.e.. they often say they have black blood in them.

[MsNellyChan]

@WhereYaBoss I know I keep repling to your comments and it will remain one sided because you are fixed on thinking one thing. Your comments are way out there compared to what I'm actually talking about n believe. Ur one sided. Not all italians hate black people.. ie. my mom married a black man and nobody in her family cares. They don't see skin color. My dad married a Italian woman...nobody in his family cares. And I don't let other people tell me what I am- they didn't grow up in my house

[WhereYaBoss]

@MsNellyChan I'm not one sided. I see your point, ma'am. I just didn't agree with everything you said. I agree with most of it, but when I watched it again as you told me to I realize there were points that hit me as offensive.

[chsn09]

@MsNellyChan LOL. You probably use the one drop rule without knowing it on black folks and others. People go by looks my friend. Just be proud to be Afro Italian. Italian is NOT a race. So you would not look crazy saying you are Italian because culturally you rep your Italian roots. However if you say WHITE then people will proabably get on YOUR case.

BUt REP ALL OF WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE. Death to the one drop rule. BTW you are cute

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 2. ) My comment : Yes, indeed it's very true , white people created the " One drop rule " in that you are 100% correct. However, Black people in today's day and age perpetuate it like crazy, you can no longer only Blame white people for the reason the ignorance is still continuing.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 3.) Black people didn't create it so they shouldn't have to take accountability for the " one drop rule's " initial existence correct, However the mass amounts of Blacks that perpetuate embrace, and enforce it with out even the prompting of a white person should take accountability in HELPING to keep it going.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 4. ) You have a choice you're not being forced to honor, embrace,perpetuate, or enforce it you are choosing to do that by your own free will, unless you are telling me that Black people are inherently weak and lack the ability to think for themselves.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 5. ) Take Hitler for example, he started the Nazi party ( Before that it was The German workers party than Hitler came along and turned it into the Nazi party.) and the whole concept of Blond haired Blue eyed people being more superior to anyone who wasn't Blond and Blue eyes with white skin. He created this concept so he is accountable for that but the people that went along with it are accountable for enforcing it.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 6. ) With out the people to enforce those racist beliefs his whole concept would have fallen flat on it face. Now if the people in the Nazi party were like " Well dont Blame us for tracking down the Jewish people and sending them off to concentration camps because we didn't come up with the idea Hitler did so blame him not us" wouldn't you think they should be held accountable too and not just Hitler ?

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 7. ) Hitler couldn't have dont it all by himself he had to have people go along with it. well that brings me back to the " one drop rule " yes white racist created it but Black people help to enforce it along with white people so its not only white peoples fault anymore in why its still here it Black peoples fault now too.

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialGirl1977 I mean you say you don't believe in the One Drop Rule, but then I notice you use it on black people. Most black people know very well they are not 100% black. Yet people like you who supposedly don't believe in the One Drop Rule will say their 15%European ancestry and 11% Native American ancestry doesn't count. What do you think when you see blacks with green eyes who don't have a white parent? Or when you see two dark skin parents with a LIGHT skin baby. Do you One DROP them?

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 8. ) And if Blacks can agree it comes from racist white people then whats a Black person doing going along with it, when a Black person goes along with it you as a Black person are only helping white supremacy out, thats exactly what the white racist want. Mass amounts of black people bought into it hook line and sinker so what is that really saying about the Black people that are doing this?

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialGirl1977 Do you think you use the One drop Rule on black people?

[chsn09]

@WhereYaBoss Also another funny thing is that there are many people that STILL don't consider Italians to be white lmfao xD

[WhereYaBoss]

Nelly, I need to add this, I still feel that you are ashamed of being considered black. When I hear mixed people say "You want me to deny my mother" my ears turn up. Because there are tons of biracials who embrace their black side without denying they have a white mother or father. I've never heard Halle Berry & Obama deny their white moms nor do they try to hide it. So, I will call biracials who are ashamed of being called black "black" because they need to realize black is NOT a negative

[MsNellyChan]

@WhereYaBoss Well... if you watch the video all the way through...lol! I don't think u did and for some reason you want to insist that I hate myself. For some reason a lot of people think that mixed (half black)people who want to be considered mix hate being 'Black" What is really going on inside the homes of biracial families? Being mix is basically a different culture... it doesn't matter what you are mixed with. It doesn't just imply to half black and half whatever.

[MsNellyChan]

@WhereYaBoss Also in my lifetime I have come across mix people who deny one side of them. 1st they aren't always half black... there are a number of mixes in this world. And to be honest if they do not relate to one side of their mix 'so what' if they do relate to one side more than the other 'so what' it's how they were brought up. It's who they are. 

[WhereYaBoss]

@MsNelly, I'm all for people embracing all of their mixture. My only issue is when people don't want to be associated with their black side because of negative stereotypes. Please do not buy into those stereotypes. Black people are not buffoons or ignorant. I have come across tons of videos by black women who are so positive & progressive they negate every stereotype ever spoken about us. Sis, please embrace both sides, but don't get offended when people call you black. It is not a curse word.

[WhereYaBoss]

I just watched the video again.

[WhereYaBoss]

I feel for you Nelly. You look mixed and it bothers you that people won't accept you as white, too. It's like Peola in "Imitation of Life". She didn't want to be considered black either. She eventually disowned her wealthy black mother and lived a lower-middle class life just so that people would not think of her as black. It's sad. It's hard not to feel sorry for people who struggle with being thought of as black. I've always been proud to identify as black so I don't understand the struggle.

[MsNellyChan]

@WhereYaBoss Once again I have to insist that you watch the video all the way through and actually listen to what I'm saying. I love BOTH of my parents and I love both of my CULTURE.

[WhereYaBoss]

@MsNellyChan Hey, I am with you. After watching this video again and seeing similar videos and getting feedback from mixed people who can't stand being called "black", I feel that we black people should stop labeling mixed people as black. It took me awhile to get here but I finally arrived. I agree with you and other biracial people. If you don't want to be considered black we shouldn't consider you black. Honestly, it's not hard at all. I don't consider you black. Won't call y'all black again

[WhereYaBoss]

@MsNellyChan, There are multiple cultures within the black community so when you say have a different culture you are being redundant. The United States is made up of several different cultures. I've never heard a half German-half/Italian person say don't call me white, call me mixed. I've never heard a half-chinese/half-white person say don't call me Asian. They will tell you in a minute they are Asian.

[waffiki]

one drop rule-i appreciate it. it is only the blacks who accept anyone no matter what as long as you have the smallest black mix.

even china who was looked down by many race,gave a lot of insult and slur on a talent contest in china & even the news paper were against one small mixed race girl, giving her a very bad frightening time. she clang to her chinese mum, her black father was not there & the blacks stood for her.

[CheezInspector]

Good video. Yes, you're right. No need to be confused. I've heard that whole thing too about being "Black" if you're half-half. It's silly and genetic science and parental lineage says otherwise. But some Blacks get insecure and try and impose a fictitious one-drop-rule on us. Whatever. I just laugh and go my own way. Let them think what they'd like.

[Steadno]

try joining the kkk

[CheezInspector]

Thanks biracial girl :)

[blackthought306]

i think what people meant when they said your not black enough is that you cant be as black as them because your half white

[liljdw131]

i agree with that rule and the reason why ppl hate that rule is becuse they are ashamed of one of the races there mixed with in most of the time its being black like you your black in my eyes or a mixed girl with nice hair if that is your hair sorry but yeah i agree with that and i dont understand why ppl get affended im black not a mixed person in my familyy but i have a good grade of hair real curly black wavy i get am i mixed all the time i simply say no and move on i know what i am

[MsNellyChan]

Yes it is my real hairthats okay. I have met mixed kids who are ashamed of half of who they are, really I think that has to do with their surroundings. Ive even met people who arent mixed who are ashamed of their race. Ive noticed that things are changing, but it all depends in where you live. If a mixed person lives in an all white city and they are living with the white parent and not the black maybe they are more

[MsNellyChan]

prone to be embarrassed of being half black because they stick out like a sore thumb or they live in a real racist area. Also, if a mixed kid grows up in a certain area down south where it is mostly black people and they go to an all black school, they are more prone to be picked on for being mixed and that might cause them to be embarrassed to be half white (I dont know if that still goes on in the south but Ive met a lot of

[MsNellyChan]

mixed or light skinned people in their twentys from the south who were picked on in school for being light skinned.). There is a number of reasons. Then you have the mix people who are fortunate to not have to grow up around racism or others confusion about why two people of the different race hooked up and made a baby together.

[WhereYaBoss]

@liljdw131 That is so true. I agreee with what you said. It's because she's ashame.

[MsNellyChan]

@WhereYaBoss I'm confused about your comment???? did you not watch my video all the way through... My father is black and my mother is italian and I love my mix... I'm even cocky with it. So I'm confused to your comment... where in the world did you get that I was embarrassed for being who I am? Where in the world did you get lost and figure I hated being black? I'm black, italian, and black italian mix. Do you want me to deny mother? is that it? would u ever deny yours?

[shouldyray]

Lol, you're just like me! lol. I was a military brat as well :|

[gamer0132]

I love the way you said this, I am also half black and italian.

[CheezInspector]

That's exactly right: you are what your genetics dictate; not what society tries to thrust upon you. The "one drop rule" was originally created by slave owners who were intent on keeping the races separate. Today it's often used by (some) Black people to feel more secure about being around folks like us, who have partially-White heritage. If they can convince themselves we are just "Black", than they can maybe feel less conflicted that we are half-White.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@CheezInspector : You said: The "one drop rule" was originally created by slave owners who were intent on keeping the races separate. Today it's often used by (some) Black people to feel more secure about being around folks like us, who have partially-White heritage. If they can convince themselves we are just "Black", than they can maybe feel less conflicted that we are half-White.

I say : I sooo AGREE with you 1,000,000 % IMO you hit the nail right on the freaking head.

[WhereYaBoss]

@CheezInspector Those "Black" people you are talking about have a mixed genetic background too. Right, mr. sociology-is-not-a-science : ) I see you are quite okay with one drop for blacks with mixed heritage but not for blacks who have one white parent. Or have you never met a black person who looked more mixed than you? LoL, i know you have. See, that's when all that business about "we are not black, we're mixed" gets fuzzy.

[jojolina7]

you're a very smart young woman. keep on!

[rnljs1]

Thank you! The very same statement has come out of my mouth too. I loved the video.

[iLoveBillKaulitzLove]

im biracial.

& your pretty.*

You are not who your parents you are what you physically look like because that's how you will be judge. I know people with white parents and they look like they do not have a white parent. If I saw you on the street I would think you are black therefore that what you are...

[MsNellyChan]

and that is your freewill to think so but remember you can't tell somebody what they are and what they are not. If one of their parents are white and they look black guess what, that person is black and white no matter how bad you want to deny that fact. The only person that can deny who they are, are they themselves and if they do so deny half or full of what they are, I have no right to judge.

[BiracialGirl1977]

Well if i saw her on the street the first thing that would come to my mind is MIXED I can see it clear as day and you know that you CAN SEE IT TOO, I can see right through you, you are on this "if i gotta be black then damn it so do you" kick. I think that you dont even want to be black yourself and probably secretly think that white is better than black and therefore half white must be better than black too i think this is your way of trying to take us biracial people down a peg or two

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialG1977 It must be soooo hard looking like you have two black parents when you only have one.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 1.) Ha, ha, LMAO Go look at the pic on my profile and tell me if you think it looks like i come from 2 black parents. Not that theirs anything wrong with looking like you come from 2 black parents cause there most certainly is not anything wrong with looking like you do. However, if I looked like I come from 2 Black parents Why I'm I constantly being mistaken for Latina by white,Black, Asian, and Latina people themselves ?

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 2.) Cause it cant be because someone heard me speaking Spanish cause I don't speak Spanish. They are mistaken me for Latina because of my appearance. People don't mistake another person for being Latina if they think they look Black and people don't mistake you for looking Latina if they think you look white ( even though i know Latina isn't a race and you can be of any race and be Latina)

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialGirl1977, And I do not look like I come from two black parents either. I also get asked all the time if I am biracial and Latinos speak spanish to me as well. I have a mixed background, too. My question to you is what would you like the relationship between biracial and black people to be? Historicially we have all been lumped into one group, but going forward what would you like to see happen?

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss  3.) However, Here In America, Latina has a stereotypical look and the stereotypical look doesn't look white and it doesn't look Black it looks like something else altogether so try again . LOL .

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialGirl1977 Here in America, Latinos are also Afro-hispanics who hail from places like Brazil, Panama, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Columbia whose 'stereotypical look" is dark skin and afro-textured hair. You as well as the girl in the video above could be mistaken for Afro-hispanic not white-hispanic because your phenotype is closer to Africans than Europeans. "Biracials" who look more European do so because blacks in America are all ready mixed Afro-European.

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialGirl1977 OMG, neither of you look like Jennifer Lopez or Eva Longoria. You both look more like across between Rosie Perez and Christina Million both of whom are Afro-hispanic

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss Now you know thats not true if you actually saw my picture u wouldn't of said that. And Rosie looks Mulatta she in no way looks even 60% Black

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialGirl1977 Rosie does not look Mulatta! She does not have one White parent and one Black parent. Both of her parents are Afro-hispanic. She looks afro hispanic or light skin black. Her parents are African descent just like you! They have admixtures just like any other black person who does not have a full blood line. But you certaily do NOT look like Jennifer Lopez or Eva Longoria. You look more like Rosie or Christina Millian--afro hispanics

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss Rosie may have 2 afro decedent parents but she look like she have one black parent and one white one even though thats not really the case and its clear to see Black is not the only thing in her so, And you also say " Her parents are afro decent just like you " well you're half right !! LOL My " PARENTS " aren't Afro decent as in ( plural ) MY ONE PARENT IS the other one is white not Black

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialGirl, You are still a decent of Africa, aren't you? You think your white parent cancels out your black parent? If you trace your roots at some point you are going to come across black relatives on your father's side, ok? That makes you a decendent of Africa. Your mama maybe white but she made you with a black man so she likes descendents of Africa why don't you? Why do you hate your parent's people? Which by the way are your people, too. I kno you hate to admit but you are what you are

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss [ This is long ] 1. ) LOL I never said anything about the white in me canceling out the Black decent in me LMAO . The white in me in no way shape or form cancels the Black decent in me out nor does the Black ancestry cancel out the European decent in me.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 2. ) I am Both of European and African decent not just African, and before you even say it , i dont give a damn what a racist white fuck says and i dont care what the so-called " one drop rule " says I've heard it all before from Black people ( what a racist white shit is gonna think of me ) DAMN I GET IT !!! white racist hate me, OK, SO WHAT !! They can hate me all they want i wont loose sleep over it believe me LOL

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialGirl1977 That's true

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 3. ) I embrace everything I am and would not ever deny it for nothing . And i have no problem with Black people HELLO I married a Black man LOL ( and I've never dated a white person in my life not saying i wouldn't i just haven't dated enough people i guess. I only dated one other guy before my husband and he was Black too ) my son is by a fully Black man LOL .

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 4. ) You assume i hate the Black part of me because i refuse to ignorantly " one drop " myself and go along with white racist ideology. What a white racist says or how they choose to view anyone with Black blood in them/me has no barrings on how i see myself nor can they dictate to me the value of my worth or what ancestry I'm worthy or not worthy of i decide that, So they can kiss my Biracial ass.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 5. ) I embrace everything, you're the one that seems to have a problem with that. You know, if i denied the white and only said " I'm Black " then you would be all for that one right ? I'm NOT for cutting out half of the heritage i grew up with, I'm sorry if that upsets you but that really isn't my problem.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 6. ) The only Black people I have problems with are the ones that try and force this " one drop " shit down my throat or the " All white people look at you as a Nigger " down my throat . LOL As if i should just choose to embrace " The one drop rule " along with the white racist and along with those particular Blacks That happen to be ignorant or something, as if i shouldn't have a mind of my own and the right to choose to reject a racist ideology.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 7. )  Well I DO have a mind of my own and i choose to REJECT the " one drop rule " and i REFUSE to honor it by embracing it and perpetuating the concept of Black Blood being something that contaminated me, the black in me didn't contaminate a damn thing about me ok

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 8. ) It's funny though, I never in my life had a white person try to get me to go by or accept the " one drop rule " they always looked at me as Biracial to the point of forgetting that "I'm half Black I always seem to have to remind them that I'm half Black and that i get just as offended by the word " Nigger ' as a full Black person does.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 8.) I get this " one drop " shit from Black people. The Black people I've come across always seem to not want a white person to look at a biracial person as anything other than Black. Of the Black people I've come across... when ever a white person called a Biracial person Biracial if there was Black person around there was always a problem if the white person labeled that person Biracial instead of Black with " Naw, They Black they aint Biracial, one drop, remember "

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 9. ) Whether you want to believe it or not there are some Black people and I'm saying SOME not all but there are some Black people out there that dont want biracial Black/white mixed to be labeled anything other than Black because they themselves cant be labeled as anything other than Black and they secretly wish they could be phenotypically mistaken for other things besides Black. Not all Black feel this way but there are some that do but will never admit to it .

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 10. ) There are SOME black people out there that push the " one drop rule " onto Biracial people because they dont want to be Black their damn self and their on this " If i gotta be Black then so do you " Kick

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 11. ) And i know that you will probably say " no there aren't or .. but that's a very small minority of Black people " but i think their are more than a small minority of Blacks out there that feel this way and it's called an " Inferiority Complex " but how many Black people would even be willing to admit to it or even recognize it within themselves if they really were suffering from this ? NOT VERY MANY !!!

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 12. ) Only A very small minority of Black people would ever even be willing to admit it if they felt that they were " inferior because their Black " for the simple fact that hardly anyone wants to admit that they feel inferior to anything or anyone ( no matter what race you are ) because its looked at as a sign of weakness let alone saying that you feel inferior cause you're Black... ESPECIALLY in the Black community.

[BiracialGirl1977]

@WhereYaBoss 13. ) In the Black community you would definitely be looked down upon if you admitted some shit like that.

[WhereYaBoss]

@BiracialGirl1977 That's so true

[chsn09]

@WhereYaBoss Tell it WYB. The funny thing is that NOT even whites are pure white. More than 1 out of 3 white Americans would be considered black under the one drop rule lmao.

[chsn09]

@BiracialGirl1977 Rosie Perez is a multigenerational mixed mulatta of Puerto Rican. If she considers herself black then so be it. PUERTO RICAN is NOT a race.

[chsn09]

@WhereYaBoss LMAO. Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria BOTH have Negroid/Black ancestry in them from Afro Hispanic slaves

[WhereYaBoss]

@chsn09 I know that Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria have black ancestry, but they look closer to Europeans and this sister below was trying to say most biracial people look like them and that's a damn lie.

[chsn09]

@WhereYaBoss LOL! What sister below are YOU referring to?

LMFAO @ most biracial people looking like Italians. Many Italians do look mulattoes but most in my opinion still look a little more whiteish Caucasoids lol.

A biracial on here YOU know who lol...... said that he looks like Italians but he looks more black or light skinned black to me lmao.

Rick Fox is actually half Italian. Do you think he resembles an Italian?

[WhereYaBoss]

@chsn09 That crazy heffa biracialgirl1977. She ascribes to this theory that biracials who are mixed black and white look like Jennifer Lopez/Eva Longoria. Funny how they always pick out people who have been consider People Magazines most beautiful people, lol. They overlook fact that most of the guys come out looking like Luis Guzman (Traffic) or George Lopez (with kinkier hair) and the girls mostly look like Judy Reyes (Scrubs).

[chsn09]

@WhereYaBoss ROFLMFAO. Oh Biracialgirl1977. Yeah her ass is tripping big time. She is a mulatto seperatist and supremacist and dividing up blacks and says that Obama is NOT a black accomplishment but a BIRACIAL MULATTO MIXED ACCOMPLISHMENT and she says that BLACK ppl need to stop claiming Obama because he belongs to the biracials.

I was like DAYUM, does she want a racial draft? I am like just give people their own category.

[chsn09]

@WhereYaBoss

It is sad though how some biracials can call themselves things like Italian, or Puerto Rican or even Cuban, and think that having black in them does NOT apply to their identity but meanwhile they don't want to be seen as self hating but go around using racist insults at black people and part black ppl. SO SAD. I know a briacial dude on YT that does that SMFH.

[ilovetherain100]

@BiracialGirl1977

I agree- that is a consideration for the motivation on the part of blacks to insist someone who is mixed is black alone, when they are not.

I think it is kind of racist in itself to ignore the one parents culture who is not black, whether it be they are Russian, White, Chinese, Italian, whatever.

[GogatsuGirl]

I love the way you said this. "There is no confusion to being mixed. You are what your parents are." I've never heard it put like that before. Anyone who has to try and explain it to somone who does not understand can just use that.
