  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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....

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • men always wanna be something but men

  • 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

  • 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.

  • tell them baby,tell them!!

  • 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

  • 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:)

  • 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!

  • 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!
