S2E24: "Black folks always wanna be something other than black" WTF?

[jumpingonglass]

men always wanna be something but men

[Vimalish15]

Some black folks not all of them my love, I want to stay brown just the way I am and Mixed race are considered black in white races proof is OBAMA he's reffered to the first black president not the first white president or mixed race, just wanted to clear it up, We all are originally from Africa

[superdude593]

Personally I belive that we should all just concentrate on being apart of the human race and leaving all this racial pride and racism behind, I mean look all it does is segregate and create hate, it creates superiority issues.

[nastiboye]

tell them baby,tell them!!

[SuperBlaze22]

Your aesthetic give black, but as with most black people you can tell that there's somthin' else goin' on up in us. Some more noticible than others, So what I SAY is that you're a black man with a diverse background, 'cause truly that's what it is. -lolz

[brockevin69]

Yo dude I think ur awesome and I totally agree about what you said. You should be proud of where you come no matter what! Good luck bro:)

[will2peter]

why the hell are people offended that you are being honest about your race? its like people are saying "oh dont you dare think your better than me" its like calm down people - he is being honest ? Shouldnt we be promoting that? Jesus!

[BlaqueRain7228]

I'm from Cali and when i came to Atlanta the black people here was haten on how i talk! They would say why you talken white! WUT THE HELL I can't help i speak GOOD english! Don't let this person get to you! IDK about race I love ALL PEOPLE!

[TheJPowell916]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!

[GurlCaa]

SO IM GUESSING UR OTHER RACES are:

Latino

Native American and

White......Like Most Black People in America nehow.

[KelferMookie]

You are a Black Man.

[mizdray]

I could care less what race you could be mixxed with,you are right everyone is mixxed with something.but on the worst side is that we often what to identify with a race that would have us as a whole. when I see you I see a black man so embrace what you like its all up to how you feel about it.

[Babs22h]

hey boo!

I love your posts they are topical and humorous! here are my two cents. I totally get you and where your come from people should be able to just say "hey I am black and white and asian" if they are indeed that. To bring a little bit of intelligence to sexymodelboy's comments... I think he might be coming from this perspective. As you are well aware black people have been hated for who they every part of who they are skin color, size of nose hair etc. And perhaps seeing someone who

[mz5breezy]

Your right, but I admit that I say it also. I say it because when it comes down to it (and I have seen it 1st hand) a non black person who has the upper hand in a situation will ignore a mixed person's other ethinic background and only acknowledge their black ethnicity....and treat them as black people were treated back in the day. So Im saying that maybe I know a person is of more than one ethnicity but in "white America" that person is black.so its sarcasim towards America not the person

[TuscanWonder995]

If you slap that thigh one mo time....LOL

[bloodynicolebrown]

It's because black people are a FAILED race that hasn't done anything but destroy shit.

[jeffreymartin16]

yea man i feel you. im from the bahamas but my orgins are black,japanese,french. . people always say im black stop hating on your own people wtf!!! lol. when u see i look totally black

[thalouboi]

Well what are your other races, you look like my father's side, which is Louisiana Creole. I understand why you are mad but I do undsterstand where alot of people come from when they think mixed people think they are better. I to have other races in me and acknowledge them, shit its physically obvious, but I do consider myself Black because thats what I am majority. You can still acknowledge your other races and define as black at the same time.

[PZCherokee]

"And I'm sorry for cursing! Peace!" lmaooooo!! I agree 100% with you.

[taeboamped]

wow., i actually thoght you were hispanic, but that comment that person left you was wrong. i agree with you on how bi racial people are expected to claim one part of their race or choose or whatever,but its like why cant i just embrace all my races?

[loveablelala]

it sucks that bi racial people have to feel marginalized. im black and i always get asked if i mixed with something else because im not dark skinned and gave a decent lenngth of hair. why do we have to put eachother in a box? let's start loving ourselves however we were made. we have a long wayy to go

[marudell]

i could totally relate.

and your skin looks nice :D

[NotSoPhotogenic]

You are right, onlyoneofme7! : ) We have the right to identify as we choose to! Hooray for the multi-"racial" movement!

[quyapooh2]

[ripped2shredz]

[kemekat]

[AfriqueMafia]

Gaylord

[sidemorning]

lol@suck a pickle!

[mrsplastique]

sexymodelboy left me a very hateful comment on my page ... my poses were terrible hurts my feelings

[braineesmurff]

dont worry about it sweety heart, that nigga just jealous because he dont know who he is. and if he was secure in hiself he wouldnt have had shit to say.

[brittmariediamond]

I understand where u are coming from my ethnic background is Black Indian and French. And i have went through that crap to its so stupid. I had a friend that actually said to me why dont you just say your black and i had to explain to her that i cant help that there are diffrent races in my family =) im not goin to ignore it

[313AKA]

The only issue I had with the identifying races video is when you spoke about being part white and you stroked your hair and asked, "Can't you tell?". I love your vids Todd but you kinda played into the whole "good and bad hair" stereotype that mixed people sometimes do. I have no problem with you wanting to identify your heritage. Just try not to fall into the stereotypes.

[onlyoneofme7]

I can totally see you viewing me doing that a certain, way but my whole lifethe number one question because yes my skin is light, people bypassed that and assumed i was mixed from my hair, which is why i did that, every where i go, people ask me am i mixed because of my hair, a person that looks black with silky soft hair to them was i guess curious to them, but it is a sterotype that i just realized

[313AKA]

Todd your skin is not light, lol. Love your vids babe. Keep up the good work!

[fredalala]

LOL!!! I noticed that sexymodelboy doesn't have no pics on his profile. He must not be who he really is. And has the nerve to judge you. Don't let that BITCHASSNESS bother you!

[onlyoneofme7]

I dont really think it is a stereotype, I think people are just curious with knowing my race, so that is the main question I have been asked since I could talk... but iam sorry if it came off that way....

[esloc60]

love ya you so crazy do you boo get that ass ya

[DiVaTEnDeNciEz]

AMEN todd! Stand up for yourself. Luv you!!!

sm00ches

[bdt1619]

Tell him Baby!

[thruthealcove]

Couldn't agree more dude, it's a shame!!! No one is just one thing anymore, we are all mixed with soooooo many things!!!

[blasianFMA]

AMEN.

[jayizmee]

yess boo embrace all of who you are!!!!!!!!

[nohetero1]

O wow I do somewhat agree with what the person who left him that comment because slot of times some mixed people do think that they are slot better than the other darkies because they have alot of different races in them but if the person who commented him watched the previous video then he would have heard that people was asking him what his race was so yeah the comment was out of order they should of kept that to themselves and did it moving but like I said I do think the comment is very true

[bigphat200]

I don't know it that is really true. I went to a predominantly black college and there wasn't many if any issue about skin color, there were black people who really looked white, "blue eye blond", light skin and dark skin and i hardly ever saw preference between the natives. Sure u r going to see it once and awhile but not by most ppl. and that was 10 years ago. I would hate to think that, that kind of stuff goes on today.

[VaunTV]

Agreed, I people should claim what they are..for example when someone's says im African American i say no honey Im jamaican..they argue with me about it but the point is i wasnt born in America, and no one is My family is american by birth..lol...like my mother is venezuelan, black, panamanian & irish, she is light skinned with hazel eyes..my dad is brown skin (just jamaican) and im brown skin soo when i tell people that im mixed with panamanian & irish, they think im lying..

[CuntyonMars]

Actually, you aren't Jamaican either. You don't know what you are, none of us who were trucked in during the diaspora know our TRUE identity. Jamaican is a nationality, Akan/Ashanti, etc, that would be your ethnicity. I wish you all would read a book. KI KI.

[VaunTV]

Honey im Jamaican, my ancestors are from various places are around the world, but myself, my parents, fathers parents were all born in jamaica..Dont tell me im not jamaican I AM...now am i of African decent DUH but im Jamaican.

[CuntyonMars]

Right. In terms of your nationality, you are Jamaican. But ethnically, unless you have subjected yourself to genealogical tests in order to confirm your ancestry, there is no way you could know what you truly are. Most of the slaves who were transplanted to Jamaica were from Ghana (West African descent), members of the Akan/Ashanti people.

[VaunTV]

OK...I never said i wasnt of African decent i said im not 100% black..my mother is mixed with Irish, Panamanian & Venezuelan. I am jamaican i know my ancestry and i NEVER denied it.

[tazelp]

I'm gladd that you spoke about it sometimes in life you have to defend your self ...

Much Love,

Danny .... :)

[88jl]

just because his skin is brown does not mean he shouldnt claim other parts of himself because there are so many african americans who dont even know who they are or where they come from it started with slavery where so many slaves were seperated from there familys that it made it difficult for them to track their history which through generations of not knowing became forgotten even more,so for someone who can actually tell you who they are shouldnt be a shame to mention it.

[fisherman777]

You have nice looking hair on your head 0:13

[mrultra2008]

Great video I dont know what to say about black folks. Some of us are just so full contradictions that we dont what we want from each other. Thanks for your comments on this subject.

[JustJordanTV]

LMAOOOOOOOO. you're going in. I LIVEEEE.

[imhailing]

hahaha yea ^

yawnz! they are sooooo ignorant and they comment to you was totally irrelevant

[tdottle246]

tell them!!!

[artavius18]

Tellem Todd!!!!!

[sexymodelboy]

LMAO! How many of those "other races" are claiming you? Your grandmother being "Creole" don't count as you being mixed or biracial, sweety. Also, being "Creole" ain't nothing to brag about. That means your ancestors were raped by Massa!

[K7J7P2]

UHHH RUDE!

[K7J7P2]

Furthermore, most black people are something other than just black...do not get mad just because your pale ugly wonder bread lookin ass aint nothin but "raw chicken meat" white. Black ppl come in a variety of different shades and colors which makes us unique bitch!

[onlyoneofme7]

your soo stupid.... did i just say creole and black? no.... go back and rate and watch the video again sweety.... my great grandmother is french LISTEN! im not even gonna entertain you....

[sexymodelboy]

Your grandmother is French now? You just said that she was Creole. That ain't French European! LOL Anyhoo, you can be whatever makes you happy. If you're happy while trying to claim that you're white via slave rape, then more power to you.

[jlucky419]

Damn! You let him know! haha! I think it would be a disservice if you didn't claim everything that you are! Some people are really just ignorant and you definitely gave it him! Loved it!

[SpiritedAquarius]

You know we was just talking about that at work , how in the black community especially in females if you mixed...you automatically ...a Mutha Fucka.

Awesome Video :)

[poetree2000]

you know that all goes back to that "house nig**" vs field nig** mentality. Slave master would pit lighter skin blacks aganist darker skin blacks....eventually they didn't need to do it...we started doing it to ourselves
