this breaks my heart, I work with kids, and I know that they need to be told that they are wonderful, beautiful and special to know it. If this is what society is telling them, how wold they know that its a BIG FAT LIE! we all need to say it loud and clear with our words and action, you are beautiful! no matter what color your skin has!
I didn't know self-hate was so ingrained in the black world. I'm learning at a old age. Yesterday, my instructor showed a portion of this film in a class (college class)mostly white kids. Do these type of films reinforce the white man's sense of superiority? I'm trying to figure out why she showed the film. 2 african women (both with permed hair) implied that they agreed with the comments made in the film (by the women that hate themselves). I'm a black man. Dam, I was clueless. Rude awakenin
i understandthem tbh , its not thier fault im british and from my point of view most of the black american who are persived as pretty in the media are light skinned ,
=[ fuck this makes me sad. I don't understand how white skin is all that pretty.. i don't even understand how a skin colour can make you pretty... =/ All these girls were so pretty and yet they use to think otherwise =[ Makes me sad. I know what it feels like to feel ugly (I'm pretty chubby) It's the worst feeling in the world. <3 My grandmother is Black and i have White skin, but i have curly hair and such, i use to get made fun of for it.. My sister worst, she has a mini Afro going on <3 lol
@takfam07 Okay So I Hear You. But Seriously African Americans Are Not What You Make Us Out To Be. NO ONE Is Perfect. NO RACE Is Perfect. There Are Other Races That Have The EXACT Same Problems As We Do. I Am Black Myself So Yes I Am Offended. And Also, There Are A Great Deal Of BLACKS Who Were Just As Successful As Any Other Person Who Was Successful In Their Own Way. Please Know That Ever Race Has Stereotypes Which Is Why Society Is Some Fucked Up Today. The Problems You Pointed Out To Make It
@takfam07 Okay So Like I Hear You. But You Know What In A Way Your Very Wrong For What You Said. Not Only African Americans Have Those Type Of Problems. EVERY RACE IN THE WORLD HAS THOSE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ! So How About You Think About That ! And I Am Black Myself Too, So I'm Very Offended. And Yes, I Don't Live With My Father, But That Does NOT Mean He Isn't In My Life, And That Goes For Every Other Race Out There Too. And Have You Forgotten That There Are Blacks That Out There Now And From T
Maybe lighter skin is just naturally preferred by humans--including by blacks themselves, especially if they're presented with a side-by-side choice. Blacks could attach a fatalistic, resigned attitude towards it. Which in fact, they generally seem to do--crime, illegitimacy, fatherless households, low education, violence, disease, poverty, despair. OR, blacks could decide to PROVE that skin color is not a measure of what's INSIDE. Blacks could mount a serious campaign to improve their race.
@takfam07 I am getting very fed up with you comments about blacks. You are systematically targeting black videos to leave your racist ignorant comments. Really what is you problem?
@ajahamza What's racist about my comment? Read it again. I'm saying that even if light skin is universally favored over black skin, it will be irrelevant if blacks can advance their civilizational capacity. If blacks can proactively improve their culture, stereotypes will be reversed. For example, imagine if black students started averaging the highest SAT scores of all races. Just IMAGINE that. What impact do you think that would have on black self-esteem? On black socioeconomic levels?
@takfam07 what impact would it have on black self-esteem? You have not really look into this video. These were children at young ages anywhere from 4-8 who already have in their mind they are "bad," and "ugly," and that whites are pretty and good. No matter how rich, no matter the degree, no matter what accomplishment a black person has he/she is still black and not equal with whites. The darker you are the worse you are. You cannot scrub off black. Look at MJ. He tried to make himself white!!!
You didn't interview enough kids.You probably interviewed 21 kids all from the same state, area, school, and maybe the same socio-economical statuses. Nice try though.
I'm writing an essay against Brown v. Board of Education in my English class. This documentary really gave me some good ammunition to drive home my point that federal desegregation was factually false.
4:52 must be one of the WORST things I've ever seen. With that second alone all claims that black people had reached equality by now evaporate.
However, now that I have ben thinking about this, I wonder about something else. How would pink children have acted? Being fairly infantile myself to this day, I'm pretty sure I would have picked the black doll at their age, the pink doll would have been boring. But sadly it seems these girls are not making this choice out of curiosity...
It's really sickening to see how beautiful black or asian girls are told (or pressured in more subtle ways to get the "message") that they needed to comply with the historic beauty standards of another phenotype... Like asian women having face surgery to get "round" eyes? That's just wrong on so many levels. Opression to the point that you mutilate the family heritage in your own body...
Such a shame and they are so beautiful, nobody with light skin has to be a brown and nobody with a dark skin has to become white this such an fashion / history mistake........... :(
I am a white female. and watching this video breaks my heart.. I hate seeing little children who see a black doll, same color as they are, and say that it is the ugly one becaues it is black.. it makes me so sick. I cannot say that I know how you feel.. because I am white, but, I hope all of the women in this video know that YOU ARE ALL SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! and those women and children who feel that they are ugly because of color.. please know that you are a BEAUTIFUL CREATION!~~ GOD BLESS!!
@thelocalmermaid This is the Damage the White Man has done Black People. We've been lynched,Whipped, Tricked, and Fixed up to hate ourselves and today still being Murdered by The White Man since we've been brought here to America 400 years and counting. We cannot write in a Book of all the Lies, Murders and Deceit The White Race have committed against the Black Man and The Black Women here in America and throughout the World over.
The scene with the children and the dolls broke my heart. Thank you to Kiri, the filmmaker, and the beautiful young women who shared so deeply and honestly.
Thank you for making this film and to the amazing young people for sharing your experience. We are using it to open up discussion about race and reclaiming culture in Los Angeles. Much Love!
I loved this video and found it very interesting. One thing that stuck in my mind is when the girls said they know their culture is African but do not know what part. That is something I never even thought of. I applaud these girls for participating in this video. They seem very intelligent and mature.
it's not just U.S. problem. It's all over the world. Like right now there's a revolution in Libya, the rebels killing any South Saharan African (dark skinned looking) who are in Libya right now. They're not killing the Europeans who were working for Ghaddafi. It's a shame.
This almost brought tears to my eyes, I hate the fact that girls of any race feel as though that they "aren't pretty enough" everyone is beautiful, it amazes how people are still racist now a days and put stuff into other's head, growing up even though i'm not all black, i never felt that i wasn't good enough because of my skin color, colors are colors. you make the person you are.
The face of the little girl, when asked to give the doll that looks like her, looked so guilty. It's so sad that she feels bad because she looks like the doll that she deems bad. It's not fair at all.
@leqacy2296 that is a stupid thing to say. If I see white people I see white people. If I see black people I see black people. If I see asians I see asians. This doesn't mean I am going to treat one person different from another. Saying you don't see colors and only people seems as if where you are from and your heritage doesn't matter. Genealogy kids. Genealogy freakin rules
@masterjedi89 do you have to act like a smart ass, when i say i dont see color i see people means i see everyone the same, as equals. How the hell do you get genealogy and heritage from what i said. Dont comment back either cause you didnt have to wirte a story the first time.
What really stood out to me was when the teenagers discussed how they are uncertain of their heritage. I have the privilege of knowing my grandfather emigrated from Italy; not only Italy, but Udine, Italy. I have never thought about African Americans not having much family history because they were brought over as slaves on the triangular trade routes when this country was being established.
@TrackStar2259 I'm black too, and when I first saw this video years ago I realized that too. Black people can't really trace their roots to a particular part of Africa, or Latin America, or wherever.
I am dominican and we are not far away from this.My hair is mixed. I grew up relaxing my hair-untill I was 14 and not that often, my mom wasnt a fan of it. Thinking that my hair was bad..until like 1 year ago I would go to the salon like every 2 weeks. I stopped and let it be. I never felt as beautiful as now! My hair embraces my physical feautures..why change it.
Well, this was pretty heartbreaking. What a terrible thing that little kids already have this sense of internalized hatred! There's no such thing as a "prettier" or "nicer" skin color! I wish we could correct this thinking and let kids grow up feeling proud of who they are.
@PotatoesAreEpic I think it has to do with the environmental factors as we grown up. The kids in this video who feel whiteness is somehow better have been exposed to such racism and have picked up on the favoring of whites over blacks. I grew up in an area made up of minorities with little whites. So as a young white person I began to hate myself for being white and felt like something was wrong with me, and that they were somehow better than me. Though uncommon racism can happen with any race.
@japanah I guess you're right. I grew up in a black neighborhood for the first few years of my life. I didn't exactly HATE myself, I just wished I looked more like how my friends did.
As a "pale" white female with curly frizzy hair - I get told the same thing by other people too, lol. Other girls tell me I should get a tan and straighten my hair. When they find out I don't care - I'm ostracized. Same with the men - if you don't fit society's mold of what an attractive woman should look like, you are shunned by most people.
@evesrib interesting comment. I noticed that many people might not like to be black or blacks over all, but many whites(maybe the same who are racist and many who are not) get tans.
This is a shocking thing to see for me! How do young black kids get the impression they're bad because they're black?? Looking at the black doll knowing that they're having the same skin colour pointing on the 'bad' doll??? Heart breaking! Do they get this information from their parents or their surroundings?
Sure is good hair like wearing hair not kinky you're preddier i wanna be light skinned ya know bad hair aint relaxed why she lighter than me like went out their using bleach bleaching cream I would never marry a dark skin man I guess maybe my hair is kinky I dunno I used to have dolls long straight hair .....
I was always taught growing up that african american people are just as beautiful as caucasian people. I've never thought them as different because i was raised different by my mother and grandmother. it is sad to see that these girls think of themselves like that I think they're all very beautiful!
I used to have a black "water baby doll"(that I loved) I dont know why my parents bought me the black doll but thinking about it know I must have looked funny to other people playing with a black doll.
@sexii87 How do you know *all* of them live in high-rise apartments? Because you can see out of one or two of their windows? It's never stated that they all live in the ghetto, so please don't assume because of one or two of the girls' locations.
I would have liked this a bit more if the 'women' had been actual women. I'm 26 years old and can still relate to these racial issues as an AA female. Especially when I grew up being teased and ridiculed by my own peers because I didn't 'fit the black sterotype'. I would have liked to see the opinions of older women. Beyond that, this was a good video, a good start to some of the many issues we experience.
@sexii87 Ghetto or living in a nice two story house in the middle of a well to do white neighborhood, it doesn't matter. And yes, I am black and I've lived in both the 'ghetto' and in nicer neighboorhoods. It doesn't matter. I've gotten the "I'm normally not attracted to black girls..." comment, and much more. Location doesn't make a difference, it's the same no matter where you go.
Eye opener. I have been taught that black was not as beautiful as well. I would always hear things like, "You are Beautiful, for a Black Girl," when I was coming up. Lighter skin was considered more beautiful. When I was young, I never wanted to date dark-skinned men or marry dark-skinned because I feared having darker children. When I think back I was naive, I love being dark-skinned.
IMO: I believe self-hatred comes forth as we are often misrepresented in the media as being 'bad' ie: the thief, single parents, dead bead dads, gangsters, entertainer, school dropouts, uneducated hence why we are seen as the lower working class, sadly the knowledge gained from this misrepresentation is now what the younger generation see as the representation of the black race. Where there is knowledge there is power and profit to be made from our self-hatred.
The way of thinking that these young women speak of was taught to the enslaved africans HUNDREDS of years ago(Google the Willie Lynch Letter). Unfortunately it was passed down through many generations of African Americans....
this is so sad parents really need to know how beatiful it is to be black and teach it to their children i know i would have never picked the white doll because my parents taught me about black beauty. even though we were brainwashed we know better now. we have no one to blame again it's up to us all as black people to realise how truly blessed we really are to be people of colour.
I am from South America, from European background. Yet, in the U.S. I am a people of color. Discrimination is always discrimination. White- Caucasian don't have to explain themselves.Ignoring power differential is perpetuating the abuse
"Our ancestor were ripped out of their culture" well your free anytime to go back to africa and enjoy the african culture of rape and murder, living in filth, voo magic and living in mud huts.
@KumarZimmerman08 For your information, idiot, everyone in Africa doesn't live in huts. And as far as rape and murder, you need not to look any further than our daily news in THIS country to see lots and lots of it. And throughout HISTORY, most of the raping and murdering in Africa was perpetuated by white invaders. So who's culture is it again???
This is the problem right here, and to solve this problem we must except West Africa as are home because the majority of us are from there. we must first know the day we were born on. This is the true African way without never being born there. YOU MUST KNOW YOUR DAY, NOT YOUR MONTH.. This is what's wrong and to those who want to know the next step please send me a message.
Great Video and very sad also.. This is why we have to mingle with Africans here in America. There is a myth that Africans thing they're better than A-Americans, but in fact Africans respect African Americans who know and respect history. Most of us are from West Africa which is very different from East and South. Please research Ghanian names for day names and characteristics and there you will find your day horoscope and the person you truly are.
My white skin is gross!! You can se my blue veins stick out everywhere and my face has many flaws, everyone has flaws, everyone has a sertan beauty to them.
But girls, you were all really pretty, went I Saw your skin I saw clear, glowing skin. (my white skin is far from perfect... Every little zit shows up all too well :P)
I feel really bad for the girls who feel that way! I'm not sure if everyone will take this the way I intend... But I'm white and my family raise me to think no differently about color. So when I hear black women complaining about their prejudices, I have a hard time getting how they feel that way. I've never assumed anything about someone because of their color and I've always thought they were pretty too.
But the doll test- I feel like the children were led in their choices. Idk but that's th
For some of the people who are posting these nasty comments grow up! I am a dark AA proud of who I am raised in a broken home but I am doing great for myself, me and my twin sis is. Just because we want to connect with our culture we need to go back to Africa. how ignorant is that? I am an American & proud of that too! This country was built off the backs of AA also.
@13ElloJello I understand it is upsetting when people make those kinds of statements, but there are many white people who are NOT racist and do not share those beliefs.
@MatchMySteeze Half of USA is white??? America was originally inhabited by aboriginals and Indians! Then the WHITE Europeans came n colonized it! Read a history book before u post such idiotic things!
@MatchMySteeze Don't be a lazy reader. Read someone's full post before making a naive comment. He said "Now how stupid does that sound?" to make that point that saying "black people should go back to their country" is as stupid as a statement that reads "if you white people hate the way things are, go back to Europe." And I agree completely. The people who say "go back to your country" are ignorant because their ancestors were also not natives to America.
@MatchMySteeze actually, only 18 % of the U.S. is black, so much more than half of America is white, and she was saying it as a metaphore, nt actually saying to go bac to europe
and im soviet but living in america i feel weird being white. black men and women are equal to white - and lik black children are soooo adorable. I thought the 3rd girl looked latina a bit. But all seem very sweet AA women.
Press wrong key it send comment incomplete . Cont: whites living large while the blacks Hispanic playing the robbers while the good cops r mostly white,the kids view it as this is the way the world is. If we find programs with positive views on blacks kids will look at thing different.
Its really sad to c what our country has become... Telling our young ones its not ok to b who they truly are... Its horrible almost cruel and going back to the roots of slavery and the holocaust..
excellent video. i look at african kids here in europe born here or who grew up here. they say they are not african.... they are european because they grew up here not in africa! somehow i'm embarassing because i wear my hair natural :-( blacks all over the world should see this because most feel that our natural hair is ugly.
Believe me no body like their own skin even me. In the summer when I play out door sports, my skin turn darker than most of African American. But, in the winter it turns whiter than most white people that I known. It really piss me off as well. In order for you not to be judged as this and that. Just treat the people as how you wanted to be treated. If you treat people with respect, you will get respect back or in a return. Its the character, behavior and beauty of your heart that count
@2011TOMCAT If only this were tru. You wouldn't even recognize the world you live in. Example: The ENTIRE Dr. King Jr. civil rights movement. "Non violent, non violent" got their heads bust, or killed. I wish that were tru.
God bless you. Let's all get over the white thing and the black thing. Don't let old school history put a bad vibe on you. This is 2011. We are smarter now. I am white I can not be blamed for the sins of my fathers fathers. Let's go on hand in hand together as we will in heaven. And be the great people we are destined to be.
Grasses are always greener on the other side black girls want to have light skin while white girls go out tanning for darker skin ah.. What a weird world
eeveryone has parts features they wish was different. im a white girl and theres times i wish i had a bigger butt like most us white girls do. or we go tanning wanting some of the mexican complection. a little darker skin ton. we all have some type feature we want from a different race. but all in all we didnt choose the way we look and should live ourselves for who we are. everyones beautiful in there own way. where all gods children
We are all Gods children. It would be pretty boring if we all looked alike. I look forward to a time when race doesn't matter. Will that be in my life time? The test with children really saddens my heart. They were all adorable.
Thingss likee that is wrongggggggg. My daughter is 7 and half black half white. Does that mean half of her has to go to Africa and half if her go to Greeceee . I am going to need you to shutup , plasee andd thankss!
Andd this video really touchedd mee good jobb on thiss : ]
@glock342617 This isn't your country either idiot. You go back to europe! And Hitler would wanna exterminate you too, you wouldn't be his ideal follower.
As a 50 yr young woman of mixed race it pains me to see how low self value destroys the perception of our children. We are all Gods creation, all beautiful in a very specific individual way. You are what you set your mind and soul to be, you may not be liked by some, but you are LOVED by many. Stay positive.
What is all racism about? I do not see a crayon. I see a person. I see two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. I know there is a heart and soul to every person. Look at people as people not crayons.
if we are going to talk about materialistic beauty.. Every culture, every race have their attractive and unattractive people. Nothing to do with the color on your skin or hair. I have met plenty of beautiful blonds brunettes blacks Hispanic oriental Asian etc. Plus it's illogical to be racist against skin color when the real cause for change in skin tone is due to ability to adapt in different climates. You wouldn't really find black people living in Greenland or whites in the dessert.
Ok. for all those poor, sweet, "dark" girls: i am white white white. but i grew up in a good home where skin doesnt matter. my mama and i both think that the prettiest people in this world are the girls with darker skin. the girls on this vid are all so beautiful it hurts to think that they have been told the opposite
All women are beautiful but if you look around the world there is no real mold. Everyone is unique so just be u and be proud of who u r and what you bring to the worl
All women are beautiful. Beauty comes from in not out. We have all had that realization that we could not be Barbie. Why try to fit into the mold? I had all sorts of dolls of different ethnicities. We have so far to go. Black or White. Who cares? We all have hearts and souls. Why does it matter where you came from? I am American. What country are you a CITIZEN of? Make something good of who you are now. We are all HUMAN BEINGS. You can think for yourself and create your own morals and values.
I'm mexican. I'm tan/yellow (the darkest female in my immediate famly). I was treated different. I was told I was ugly - often. I can only imagine what this is like for an african american girl, woman, child. I work though the obvious biase daily.
I recently came across a "country" song called *Tied together with a Smile* sung and written by Taylor Swift. Ironic yet sincere:) If you have a minute...look it up. I think you may enjoy it too.
I see the points in your video, however, did you only ask 21 children? And did you by any chance leave anything out? Why didn't you ask all of the children all of the same questions?
These are very real issues that should not be dismissed.In short, coming from a Mom, self love starts at HOME. I told my baby boy how much I loved his hair to the beautiful creamy caramel skin tone. This I did because I knew, our society would not depict him as the awesome Black man he would soon grow to become!
There Are A Lot Of White People Who Think Black People Are Beautiful And Wish They Were Black. To Be African American You Are Born In Africa And Then Become A American Citizen. All People Born Are
@TheSiSDreamz what would u expect when there are never any solutions? Should we (me and black community) just sit back and take what is? Personally I don't think so because things like this has brought about prejudice from both sides. A lot of Africans don't like us and the country we live in are just accepting us while they feed our childrens mind with destruction and putting on American white masks..
@FelinTheDrood Uhm, no, not really. It seems like you haven't had genes in school at all. What's your source that you're saying that the genes which define the colour of the skin also define everything else?
this breaks my heart, I work with kids, and I know that they need to be told that they are wonderful, beautiful and special to know it. If this is what society is telling them, how wold they know that its a BIG FAT LIE! we all need to say it loud and clear with our words and action, you are beautiful! no matter what color your skin has!

We cannot write in a Book of all the Lies, Murders and Deceit The White Race have committed against the Black Man and The Black Women here in America and throughout the World over.

What really stood out to me was when the teenagers discussed how they are uncertain of their heritage. I have the privilege of knowing my grandfather emigrated from Italy; not only Italy, but Udine, Italy. I have never thought about African Americans not having much family history because they were brought over as slaves on the triangular trade routes when this country was being established.

@PotatoesAreEpic I think it has to do with the environmental factors as we grown up. The kids in this video who feel whiteness is somehow better have been exposed to such racism and have picked up on the favoring of whites over blacks. I grew up in an area made up of minorities with little whites. So as a young white person I began to hate myself for being white and felt like something was wrong with me, and that they were somehow better than me. Though uncommon racism can happen with any race.

Beyond that, this was a good video, a good start to some of the many issues we experience.

Eye opener. I have been taught that black was not as beautiful as well. I would always hear things like, "You are Beautiful, for a Black Girl," when I was coming up. Lighter skin was considered more beautiful. When I was young, I never wanted to date dark-skinned men or marry dark-skinned because I feared having darker children. When I think back I was naive, I love being dark-skinned.

IMO: I believe self-hatred comes forth as we are often misrepresented in the media as being 'bad' ie: the thief, single parents, dead bead dads, gangsters, entertainer, school dropouts, uneducated hence why we are seen as the lower working class, sadly the knowledge gained from this misrepresentation is now what the younger generation see as the representation of the black race. Where there is knowledge there is power and profit to be made from our self-hatred.
