PLEASE READ: I am not trying to label anyone, you are who and what you are based on your parents. the message i was trying to convey is that if you are mixed with "black" then don't deny that PART (not all, just part) of you is "black"
this vid is about externalized oppression, internalized opression, and self hate. I also try to open an avenue for self acceptance.

  • @MsKc4u I'm 12 and brown-skinned, lol. I agree! :)

  • I feel as though God is looking down on mankind and shaking his head and wondering when it got so bad.

  • Darwin:

    "Blacks are not Human but wild predators, feral animals"

    A different species of taking ape. Your IQ is 34.

  • Im 12 yr old and i <3 being black. Im dark skined so i used to think how come i cant be lighter and things like that but i learned to love it. i moved to some white town in CA and its been like so hard Anything mentioned black is like bad. in my lang arts class we read this story and in it it mentioned a black person and everyone laughed. so if u are black learn to love where u r from cuz blacks have longer history than any culture thats why we got a whole MONTH to celebrate that!

  • @WowItsKaila You shouldn't feel shame in your heritage and your origins. You have no reason to be ashamed of having dark skin.

    I will tell you something. My family is from England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, some Cherokee tribe and even France.

    My skin is very light.

    I do not think of you as bad for having dark skin. You aren't bad because of it. We aren't defined by what we look like but by what we go out and do. Don't be ashamed. We are all one race.

  • VERY WELL SPOKEN.

  • You forgot white!!! But yeahhh i agree!

  • This is the one drop rule.

  • @misanthropikbunny lmfao, please.

  • I always thought that black/white were unfortunate rhetorical choices, because they suggest polar opposites. One race cannot be the "opposite" of another.

    There is one example of "black" being a positive term...if you're "in the black," you're making money.

    I really enjoyed this video, and agree with her. BTW, I'm "white"
