Kola Boof Documentary Part 6

[tatumforbes]

I love this woman. She is a goddess. Restoring Ma'at. xoxo

[freddyjaye]

Kola speaks the truth whether people like it or not.

[geezkee]

If I were in protected custody I would not mention all the people I know and where they live. I am a dark skinned woman and I can relate to a lot of things she is saying, but some of her life story just don't add up to me.

[chillipeanuts]

I think you all look like monkeys.

[NonDramaZone]

I love black women, but why crap on the mulatto women?

[fastfreta]

And Professor P you can't deny the fact that there are Black people who simply think there skin color is inferior because that is what they have been taught. What we need to do is start a new Black community from scratch. And all those Black people that only appreciate the Black woman in her natural form should be let in. And to the rest of the Black people that favor Euro-centric values and culture should be SHUT OUT!! Kola and the like have been advocating this for years.

[hajable9]

I appreciate Kola Boof's information and value it. However, I have to make people aware. Black does not apply to her nor to many Afrikan Descendants. White does not apply to any people at all. Race, there is no such thing as the biological and sociological construct called, "race." I have written a book that can free minds. It is in PDF Form. You can help disseminate this book of freedom.There has never been a book like mine in all of the history of the world. Peace HJB

[freddyjaye]

She makes some good points. But black women like this are hidden from the mainstream media. They don't want those type of views expressed.

[bbfmail]

She sounds like an American. No accent whatsoever. I find this a little strange. I have many friends from Ethiopia, Liberia, Jamaica, Nigeria...etc. Although many of them have lived in the USA for 20 - 30 years...there is still some of the accent of the country of their birth remains.

[moderadonna]

@bbfmail She was adopted by an Black American couple as a small child. Of course, she wouldn't have an accent.

[senjahcore]

tonyeokechukwu: Political correctness is not the issue. Political correctness does not matter. Truth matters.

It is not good to stigmatize appreciation for lighter skin as selling out, but black peoples' celebration of dark skin is a direct and appropriate response to the undeniable fact of global hatred for dark skinned people, which is evident from the caste systems of South Asia, to the slave graves of Mexico and South America, to Europe and the Middle East.

[123galactica]

ProfessorP, MOST black men date mixed-race women or white-skinned women because of self-hatred, maybe you don't but most do. But she is wrong to say the "mixed" woman was used to "discredit" black women. If blacks and whites didn't have sex, mixed race people wouldn't exist. she slept with a white man, she would know!

[robmjazz77]

i love what this woamen says

[TubeChillen]

Everybody hate this woman because she's too truthful too much truth. I love Kola Boof ♥ I see she's beautiful black woman survived!

[Bellamora72001]

I've had a black man I was dating for nearly 2 years tell me he needed a white woman so he could be taken care of. So I told him when she finds out how sorry his ass is and how her people will start to treat her like a second class citizen Do Not Come Runing Back To Me!

[RosaGrayEyes]

You guys don't get it.She knows that she is talking about Black men who feel THEMSELVES are inferior to light/White men so they take it out on Black women.Why is it so hard to admit that Black men have inferiority issues when it comes to thier dark skin.They put on on women to take the self hatred off of them when Black men(not all) are very insecure.

[ukabia]

I hope she knows there are light skinned AFRICAN women such as my mother from Nigeria and my cousin that grew up in a village in Nigeria.

[jennyoak2003]

She never said that there was not any light skinned afircans.

[tiffany3k3]

Yes, she never said that. I think she talked more about the hair texture of true Africans that distinguish us from everyother race. I am fair but my hair is thick and coarse and I am full Nigeria, from the land of Biaffra.

[senjahcore]

Yep, I think she's aware that there are light-skinned African women.

Black people love our light-skinned brothers and sisters, but it's simple sophistry to argue that the prejudice of some darker skinned blacks toward lighter skinned blacks is somehow equivalent in its ability to do harm to the accumulated hatred of dark skin practiced by European, Asian and Latin cultures that allows relative privilege to the lighter skinned.

This is an important distinction.

[ukabia]

wtf? afrikanerboetie?

[FlyBoi88]

yea if u see recent pics of Kola she has heavy dreads that grew out of the braids she had in here hair,,,,,,,,

[tamsmith220]

Vey true...i adored this dark skinned brother in school (im honey choclate with gold bursting through) thats how i describe my tone :) so he's a few shades darker...he had the nerve to say ..not to my face..put to my friend who was lightskinned..that I was too dark for him...daggers in the heart

[tamsmith220]

I love you too Kola the remergence of the Beautiful Black Mother is over due...In the name of my own black daughters, sisters,mothers and self ,,who all have Exquisite beauty...we celebrate her and help to raise her up to her rightful place....Give thanks.

[sixerfan83]

wow. This woman is amazing. She has plenty to say and all Black people, conscious or not, need to hear her, whether you agree or not. I understood very much where she was coming from on different comments she made about the country she is from, how we as Black people hate ourselves and how hypocritical some of our most idolized Black men can be when they fall into the same kind of trap that they claim to urge us to free ourselves from. This woman has a voice that Black people need to hear.

[ProfessorP]

Her ideas are interesting. But some of what she is feeding to black women is bullshit, but I am open to correction. Women who feel they are entitled to black men are mistaken. No one is entitled to anything except respect. Nothing is wrong with upholding yourself with dignity and asking for respect, but to tell me as a black man that I am a coward(inferrior,etc) if I date outside is bullshit. Why do black women feel they are being "left behind" or disrespected in this manner?

[tamsmith220]

Im a black woman.Many say that as a Blackman to seek women who arent black for marriage is a form of self hate,and our dark skin Heritage.When blackmen marry non black,black woman feel like trying to get away from yourself..the blackman..if true,then you are trying to get away from us.the blackwoman.,as your feminine reflection.its as if we can hear you say "i dont want you or your black babies who look like us" In this world that celebrates European beauty,its a stab in the heart to us.

[ProfessorP]

I think this can't be further from the truth. I say that black people who are comfortable with themselves and where they come from no longer need to seek comfort in just one place. I feel sad for black women who feel that the ONLY way to true happiness can be found is in the arms of a black man. I think this is true self hate. To make excuses,instead of saying, "maybe they're in love" to "he must hate himself". They make themselves feel inferior when all they have to do is open their eyes.

[tamsmith220]

Love is cultivated,if you seek and love a woman who is non black.and if this is the image you are seeking for love,one far from that of your black mother.that is your personal choice.We dont feel inferior in the least.there are white women who feel that way, and seek out black men but no one ever mentions that.dont spew that Blackwomen feel inferior lie.If you truly knew black women you'd know the thought never enters our head that white women are better than us.they may think it..we dont.

[ProfessorP]

Woah, i spewed nothing. This is the message KOLA seems to portray with her statements. If you are attracted to someone, black mother or not, you should follow! I never assumed all black women feel this way or that. Each one of us are individuals, you can't claim to speak for all black women either. Especially when I've seen and heard black women bicker and gossip about "THEM" taking the "good" black men. That's truth.

[queenambi]

Why do you keep bringing your sorry ass in here WHINING as if we care? Go get yourself a White Woman and BE GONE!!! Nobody cares anymore. Black men have lost the respect of MOST of us, so dont even look back. You're NOT anything special--the white woman is. GOOD RIDDANCE.

[ProfessorP]

Ouch! Calm down! This is an open space for people to comment. To assume I want a white woman is wrong. To whine that Black men have lost respect is pure bullshit and wrong. That's why I'm here to learn, not hurl insults.

[tamsmith220]

I responded twice to this both times my comments were removed..if you wish for me to send my response in a message, just advise.

[PisceanBeautyy]

I didn't remove any of your comments. It must be a youtube glitch. Sometimes comments aren't posted due to technical issues.

[PisceanBeautyy]

I am familiar with Kola's ideas, and she is not against interracial dating. She feels that many black men often date outside their race as a status symbol. Which is true. Black people, specifically African Americans, are very color struck. The next time you go out, see how many black men are with women who are darker than them. At least in D.C. where I am, you'll rarely see a black man dating a woman darker than him.

[PisceanBeautyy]

To add on to what I said, it can not be a coincidence that black people try to date those lighter. Society has bombarded us with images and messages stating that darker= uglier, stupid, etc. Some of this was bound to be internalized.

[tamsmith220]

I agree. But those who see it as a status symbol are the ones who have the self hate. I've had two interracial relationships. And am now married to a black man.I dated fora long time and "loved" a latino man. I went on 3 dates with one white man.I do also take into account the fact that you may just be compatible..But if its consistant..some thought should be put into why.

[queenambi]

My understanding from reading Kola Boof's books is that she has dated men of all races, but she is concerned that most blacks see "dark skin" and African looks as inferior and are deliberately SEEKING any other race than black to keep black kids from being born. Kola has stated that she wants her work to empower blacks with a feeling of self-love and self-acceptance but even in her books I see positive portrayals of "interracial". I think her fear is self-hate not IR.

[ProfessorP]

Interesting. My thing is that many who make the same arguments are calling a "preference" a "bias". I rag on some of my friends for their preferences, but they are entitled to them. I think those who see dark skin and African features as inferior are missing out, but that is their preference. I, for one, am not against preference. I hope Kola is not either. There is someone who will accept you out there. This is what I believe.

[ProfessorP]

Heck, we can again turn this both ways. We can take Black and replace it with Money and maybe agree that anyone who seeks a relationship for status is crooked, but again, we are on the outside looking in. Just because a woman is with a man who may be well off doesn't mean that she's a gold digger. Same could be said for interracial relationships. Sometimes its a matter of being in a place where one is more common than the other.

[ProfessorP]

I never thanked you or posting the vids did I? Thanks.

Yes, this could be true. I don't deny this. The first person who ever told me that I was "too black" was a black woman. Why is it that when women do this, its their "preference" but when men do this its their "bias"? Women are allowed to do the same thing, judge based on other criteria (body, hair, clothes, skin tone, skin condition, money) but a man is a pig or a dog etc. when he does this. Why?

[PisceanBeautyy]

It's not right for anyone to do that. No one has said otherwise, and definitely not Kola. I haven't lost respect for most black men. Black men and women have both been equally fucked by this system. I do personally feel that more black men seek out lighter skinned women then vice/versa. There is a thin line between preference and seeking those who look nothing like you while scorning those who do.

[makezmuzic]

I firmly believe that we need to look at the form of discipline we took on as a survival mechanism during slavery. We had to beat our children into submission. Emmett Till speaks to that.

But this is a new day. We MUST stop making the first bloody nose, broken bone, stinging slap, fist to the face, cutting word, lash of the belt from coming from someone with a black, brown face. We MUST model verbal conflict resolution to our children. Thank you 4 sharing your journey with us Sister.

[Retrogurl1]

@PisceanBeautyy I agree,black women to a fault have been alot more loyal to black men than they have been to black women. Somthing she said that I never thought of before is that alot of black men actually support white supremacy and put down the black woman becasue being with her eminds him of what he does not want to be black.

[shifragri]

@ProfessorP blah.blah. blah.

[pamklive]

@ProfessorP ... You have a problem.. Its called negativity....Playing the devils advocate against a majority behavior is pure uselessness not resolve. Please get on or get off the boat, but your point here is wasted

[ProfessorP]

I could also reverse that statement. Go out and see how many dark skinned women you see with dark skinned men. I just think its wrong to make such sweeping generalizations and hold them up as truth. What is black? Is it just dark skin? Can you be too black or not black enough? Yet maybe I'm naive, I tend to think a couple remains a couple because they love being around each other.

[DestinysVictor]

@PisceanBeautyy Do you know her, I really respect women like this?

[shifragri]

@ProfessorP Spoken like a true self-loathing black man.

[tianitra]

@ProfessorP No other race "openly" would state this......

[queenambi]

Her autobiography is back out. It's at AMAZON! Its on a new publisher though. Everyone should read that book if you want the true story and not all the lies made up about this woman. Princeton named it the best book of 2006! Do a GOOGLE on book reviews. It's an awesome book.

[blackhaze21]

Thanks for uploading these videos,I'm now going to pick up her books now :)
