forasaje you needa watch some interviews with people that have vitiligo before yo say stuff like that but i do understand some of the things you saying
Skin bleaching is also big in Asia and India. Super unfortunate with colorism and conditioning has done to us. I remember watching a doc about Chinese folks and how they pay white ppl to sit with them at clubs just so they can appear of higher social status. They also paid them to come to places and appear interested in certain products just to convince other ppl to buy.
Hahaha that's fnny. I'm black, I lived in China for 4 years and I saw some of that. However, during my time there they worshipped black basketball players. But in China , they stay out the sun and carry umbrellas to protect their skin , as it is usually the poor and labourers who have dark skin from working all day under the sun.
I'm a tall and dark skinned black male, I have never in my life ever wanted to be light skinned or white, and I absolutely love being me. It's funny how many women of all nationalities tell me how beautiful I am.
I'm 5'11,.. complexion..."coffee with a little cream in it", I LOVE TALL BLACK MEN. I'm 69, married for 30 years, husband 5'9 and 1/2 inches, have 5 children (all grown with families of their own), thirteen grandchildren , and one adorable 2 year old great grand baby and I have a beautiful sense of humor,....CALL ME.
White ppl ain’t going out and permanently darkening there skin. So no they are not trying to be black. White skin naturally tans from the sun. Ppl also get lip fillers because they want fuller lips they aren’t saying I want my lips filled so they look like a black girls lips.
@@jb3thegreatest623 dude everyone wants to have tanned skin. It looks more beautiful and appealing. But obviously people don't want to be on extreme white or black. Similarly not all blacks want to be complete white. They want to look brownish and tanned ones.
@@bobsmith3457right. I’m stuck between being confused (if they are actually taking themselves seriously and just joking around) or actually just being amused instead lol. But to be all the way honest and real as a human being!!… this victim shit has honeto god GOT TO STOP. Black people are great. White peoples are great. Blue yellow orange all people are great. Yes African Americans have gone Thru slavery just like every other race on this PLANET!. So the fact we all can understand (unless they are playing stup!d or are just indeed seriously mentally behind)
This conversation hits home so much. I don’t hate the fact that I’m not a black man’s first choice. I have always been treated differently by black men than lighter complexion females. I felt some kinda way when I was younger. I met my husband who isn’t black 16 years ago and now we have biracial children. Now the very same ppl who didn’t give me a second glance always have something negative to say about me and they never wanted me to begin with. They (dominate society) created the separation and they’re reaping the benefits. That includes your women and men. No black man I’ve ever dated could take me seriously due my complexion, my husband thought that it was the most beautiful feature I had. Everyone appreciates US more than WE do.
Kori Richards Actually I don’t blame the black man. I’m grateful for black men and love them dearly. And yes as a child I fantasized about being a lighter complexion only because I wanted to be viewed as beautiful. This wasn’t just limited to my peers who made me feel this way but ADULTS as well. It’s trauma that is so prevalent in our community. You further prove my point on how their tactics of separation has strongly prevailed. Love you brother and I pray that we both break free from our PTSD of being BLACK AMERICANS.
Nikki Noel - Black people have been brainwashed by society's idealistic view of beauty., i.e, the "closest thing to white, is right". Therefore, black people love these "You black ...." negative comment. When I was in high school, a black girl called me a "black limousine", and laughed. I'm not even that dark. I'm kind of milk chocolatey. But it's been ingrained, and accepted in the black community to do those kinds of things. Also, black people love these hypocritical shaming tactics. I don't care who you choose, it's your life, as long as you're happy. Those black people could not care less about your happiness. They just care about shaming you.
Theriokid Absolutely and the sad part is that all I want is to move forward. I’m so beyond that type of ignorance and negativity. I love my dark skin and no one can change that.
I have never heard of Bill Duke, but I now realised I have seen his work all my life. The way he hold himself is with this sense of resigned wisdom and calm. Stylish shirt and hat to!

This still goes on to this day i think this all the self hate and how we treat one another is our main issues we need to tackle in our community as a people b4 we start tackling the outside issues💯
The G.O.A.T. Bill Duke! Great guy, great actor. Very intelligent, well read. Best interview on VladTV, more of him! Btw, I LOVE dark skinned women and I'm a light skinned brother. Melanin is beauty baby. We need to stop this discrimination shit and teach our young black daughters that they are ALL queens regardless of their color. We need to value our black women too!
This is crazy to learn this! Glad that Bill Duke is bringing light to this issue. You too, Vlad. Thank you, gentlemen. I will share this info with my network.

People say that i am privileged because I'm lighter skinned African American. I tell people no...I'm not privileged I'm thankful to be a child of God. I don't believe in separation of color. Folks should treat everyone equally
Not from a self-hate standpoint, but like Nas said... "The darker you are, the realer your problems " My brother called the shot years ago when I was a kid. Riding in his car he said something like " As dark as you are, your gonna be in for a lot of bullshit" - he was right, and I aint even that dark
ok... i would bet hesitancy for the average american person puting they're' money on someone they know in the back of they're head is for sure darker than Bill Duke! ??? I'm sure you don't bet though right? 🤑
True beauty comes from within, no matter how pretty/handsome you are on the outside. It's a true saying, beauty is only skin deep. Mr. Duke, you are a beautiful person.
@@Bodyhealthsoul Michael Jackson had leprosy[skin pigment] disease. His diet gave it to him. It wasn't because he want to be white, but he had self hate issues. Confidence in himself. Prolly from the abuse he got. Abuse leads to self hate.
Blak Blood well who else would be able to play him in his later years? Yes he’s a legend but stop acting like that dude didn’t hate his blackness. That vitiligo shit can fly for his skin color but not for all the other changes he’s made. Plus the fact that mysteriously none of his kids are black
Blak Blood that was just bc he didn’t want anyone to call him out about hating him self. Bottom line is that no black man could play him in a movie. He was born black and died white only ever dated one woman who was white and has 3 white kids
Bill Duke is an amazing human being. He is humane, he is a philosopher, poet, and very much the son of loving parents. You can still see his childhood in his eyes. He's miles above me. It's an honor to see these interviews. I feel as though I am in the presence of someone great. I loved the story he tells about what a kid said to him in Brussels Belgium as he sat alone in a restaurant. This kid walks up to his table, looks at him and says "You know you done fucked up. You know that don't you?"
Know what I find most interesting? How many people in the comments are telling everyone what black men are like, what black women are like, what people like, and why. For some reason NONE of us like being judged or told how we are "supposed" to act based on our skin color but look how easy so many people do it to one another without thinking twice.
I used to be mistreated as a child by my family bc I was light skin with green eyes, and these were the ppl that had to care for me bc my mother and father were crackheads. It was horrible, that's why I'm happy I'm an adult now bc I can defend myself.
@@NeWarKREPPAnj aka... You suffered from "pretty privlege". which exists across all groups of people and stems from those who feel envious and jealous that they do not have those striking features.
I know what he might have went through. I went through some rasicm from my own people for being darkskinned. It affects your self worth,your confidence too.
What's crazy about this is......I use to work in the Seasonal Department at Lowe's. I worked with these 3 white guys who were pretty cool for the most part. This one white guy named Caleb ....he and I became really cool, but he was always asking those "Black Questions".. I remember one day we were looking at the women walking through the store and he started telling me how White Men 99% of the time only date Black women who are very dark skinned with natural hair. I said, so White guys don't date light-skinned Black Women....he said preferably Not. I sat back for a minute pondering...what he said. I asked why do White Men prefer Darker Black Women. He said, honestly and I'm almost embarrassed to tell you this, but we see them more exotic like how we saw them in slavery plus...alot of them hate their dark skin, so they worship white people, so that we can give them a mixed child. He went on to say that it's a fetish to see their semen sprayed on dark skin. I sat their not saying anything, because I wanted to hear it from the horses mouth. White guys have a fetish with dark skinned women. So now when I see a mixed couple....9 times out of 10....I always see what he told me, but you can't tell those Black women that he truly doesn't love her....she will only think you are hating because her own community didn't except her
Wow. Thats some deep shit. Im caramel complexion & my sisters, mom, brother , sisters, grandmother are red bones.We all prefer & love dark skinned men/women. It makes a lot of sense what u said now im thinking about it & that is my reason of why i dont like white men. It reminds me of slave & master. Damn, smh. That shit real.
To be fair...you should have told him the truth about black men dating/marrying white women. They like to see their black manhood pounding against white flesh. Charlemagne the Gawd even spoke that. That's prolly why they grannies stayed gettin beasted and livin on they knees all for a big black buck.
So you talked to one white guy and came to the conclusion that all white men are the same... I saw a black guy punch a woman in the face a while ago. I wonder if that's what all black men do... Sounds stupid, doesn't it?
Bill Duke oh do real...I can listen all day and it sticks!!! My Great Grand Mother use to spread knowledge and it was so rich, so many jewels in the treasure chest.... #SoulFood
I do believe trauma can be passed down genetically but the cow example was not a good one because it ignores the possibility that the cow told her calves about the electric fence. We're not the only animals that communicate you know.
I agree with this Legendary Elder when he said "Everybody wants to be black but us" but, I'd follow up with "when it comes down to it non black people are glad that they aren't black.
Dear Black Americans, don't be confused or feel as if you're by yourselves. It may seem that way b/c many of you aren't well traveled or have only lived stateside, but white people experience these same issues and it comes from no type of traumatic past at all. Nationality doesn't equate to race, but many Turks don't look traditionally white with blonde hair and blue eyes. Neither do Syrians, Israelis, or Poles. Shit, very many Italians look dramatically different from many Spanish citizens. There is most certainly conflict and a noticeable difference between these parties that comes from one white person being lighter or darker with straighter hair than the other. So please don't let the vail remain over your eyes as if this is a black only problem. Vladimir himself is Russian and look completely different from Ed Sheeran, who is British. They are both clearly white men and they would receive different treatments based upon where they are at certain times. So it something that takes place for all races, nationalities, and ethnicities: Chinese people look down upon many Singaporeans. They're both Asian. Japanese look down upon many Pakistani. They're both Asian. So it's everywhere. Don't feel worse of or more at war than any other race b/c there is a trauma attached to yours and not theirs. So continue to be yourself and bless up. Much love.
I've grown up with comic books and about a year or so back when I saw Into the Spider-verse with my kid, I was very happy he said Miles was and still is his favorite.
Genetically transfered slavery mind state???? Wow I have to research this cause animal genetics allows baby's to know How to adapt and live just off of genetic memorie transfer! So it's possible to transfer emotional memories??? If so then that's scary for a number of reasons And the biggest one I fear is not being able to change if the pass dictates our future??? Its a good platform for a debate! because if I can pass my dominant emotion Of slavery my child won't have to worry about the insecure feelings But how do you fight the fact that they keep reminding us of how we was treated like animals just to break our spirits??? Is that what Kanye West is talking about??? Mental slavery??? This is deep! We need to debate this seriously.
If you haven’t discovered it by now, you should go look up, post traumatic slave syndrome(PTSS) by Dr Joy Degury. Her theory will explain EVERYTHING and it’s really not that deep.
I'm glad we still got ppl like bill Duke around because if we didnt us a ppl would be lost because we are already losing our history because ppl dont wanna talk about it or acknowledge it
I always hated my color and the fact my mom is a blonde haired, blue eyed woman. I wanted to look like my dad. I wanted darker skin.. sometimes still do. Once my parents split, my blackness was a piece of my dad I held onto for dear life. My school had a number of black students you count and name. There, I was always considered one of them. They knew I was black and let me know it too. Regardless of the shade of my skin.. even though it made me mad, it kind of made me proud. Daddy always told me I was a strong black woman, and to be proud of my color, my curls and my history, so I was. Pointing out my blackness was a compliment in my eyes. Racism from white folks pissed me off, but didn’t hurt my feelings, but I wasn’t prepared for what awaited me. As a single mother, my mom had to move us to a neighborhood she could afford. To my joy, there were black faces everywhere, and finally black kids to play with and belong to. (All my black relatives live in North Carolina.. my moms family is white and low key racist) I was brutally bullied and beaten and excluded by a people, young and old, who I admired and loved. I wanted to be part of them, and I thought I was. But I quickly learned that I belonged nowhere. That hurt worse than any name a white person could ever call me. It only got worse as I grew older because I also come from a very strict family. Only clean music and age appropriate movies. That means no rap, no Friday, no Set I Off.. I was culturally behind. My hair only made things worse because neither I, nor my mother knew how to properly take care of my it, so I walked around with a HUGE frizzy target on the back of my head, and everyone took aim. The neighborhood made sure I knew I wasn’t really black and I didn’t belong.. the girls jumped me and cut my hair, the boys only wanted to own me like a shiny new toy, and when I denied them, they lied and said I did disgusting things. (even though I knew NOTHING about sex) No one wanted to be my friend. A few girls pretended, but only to take me to a dangerous part of town and lose me on purpose, then when I found my way out and back to them, they laughed as they jumped me and threw me and my book bag in the pool. The older folks looked at me with disgust as if my mother’s audacity and crimes were my only identity... so I tried to prove them wrong. I became a fighter, spoke with slang and my families natural country accent. I practiced all the dances and binge watched all the black movies. I learned every word to every rap, soul, and r&b song I could get my hands on. I studied my history tirelessly. I talked black struggle and pride.. and I perfected my own greens, black eyed peas and Mac n cheese recipes.. I tried my hardest to prove I was just as black as them, if not more and that I deserved to be part of them. Unfortunately, tv and the neighborhood kids couldn’t teach me what it really meant to be black.. only how to be ghetto.. (no the two are not synonymous) and since my lack of hood knowledge seemed to nullify my blackness even after I worked so hard already, I changed even more. I smoked weed and hung out with gangs. I dated dark skinned men only because I didn’t want light skinned babies. (Im now married an amazing man who happens to also be dark skinned, because let’s face it, black is BEAUTIFUL.) I even refused to go to the advanced classes that I qualified for because there weren’t many black kids and I didn’t wanna be teased about it anymore. I simultaneously had the highest test scores and most referrals of the entire student body. Basically I ruined my life because of wanting to belong and my self esteem, along with my sense of identity was destroyed. I still struggle sometimes.. my husband’s fam calls me the white girl, swears I can’t cook or dance. They don’t believe I do my own daughters hair or could possibly know how.. and it hurts. They tell me I don’t get to have an opinion on black issues cuz I’m white. Some of them even started calling me Becky when we met. (Shut that down quick) I never thought I was better, I only wanted to belong. Now, I still struggle internally from time to time, but I just want to be me. I’ve finally learned that I don’t have to be the brand of blackness everyone wants to be. I don’t have to like Love and Basketball or sweet potato pie. I can me me, and me is back. And me is white. And I’m learning to be ok with that. I won’t allow anyone else to make me feel like I’m less than all that my ancestors died for me to be.. a strong biracial, black woman. My daughters biological mom is white and I refuse to allow her to dissolve into the woman I became through hate and my own insecurities. She will know her identity is not a label that can be given or taken by anyone. No hand me downs here except the fire that is the blood of fighters that runs through both our veins.
Biracial people over compensating trying to be black. I keep telling people that Colin Kaepernick and Jesse Williams just wanna get their black card, but they won't believe me. Sorry about your experiences. My advice: Be you. Always be you. Accept and cherish your blackness AND your whiteness. That is the beauty of you. If others don't, fuck'em!
A similar dynamic is at play in the left vs right in the US. Keep people at each other's throats so they are easier to control, when they actually have more in common than not.
I'm a white person and I know that black people are beautiful, heck black women are literally Queens and black males are referred as kings. That stuff didn't just come out of the blue there's a reason why.
I'm light skin, but my father was dark skin and my mother was light skin. I didn't realize there was a problem until I got out in the world and especially when I moved to Texas. I grew up on the Southside of Chicago and there were some issues, but not like I encountered in Texas.
No one talks about/judges my light skin tone more than other black people. No one judges me for coming from a decent family more than other black people. I feel like it's resentment. I was talking to a dude who eventually told me I had a house n-word mentality because I didn't agree with using being black as a reason to not try to make it in the world regardless. Broke that ish off real quick. All he talked about was how unfair it was instead of doing ANYTHING.
@@6fthighgetlifted You said "other" black people like you're also Black but you aren't. Why don't you tell whites (or whatever admix makes you light) to give you your birthright. Why are you mad at Black people for calling out mixed people for trying to say black comes in many shades? Not _that_ damn many. Why are Black people wrong for saying something about you being light?
@O Negative, lol what? both my parents are black. I guess I just got whatever white genes they had in em. and when I say they say stuff about me being light I mean condescending ish or the opposite where they think I'm full of myself and I have no problems in life and look down on them when I don't. I had no idea I was that light until other black people started commenting on it. and socially it can be frustrating not feeling like you fit in on either side.
@@6fthighgetlifted I understood already from your original post. I'm asking if you feel like these Black people who say condescending ish things about your hue are wrong? Whites do the same to biracials and quadroons in their families but they aren't called colorist for not accepting them as white. Somehow Blacks are always blamed and shamed for doing wise things... which other races also do and are considered high IQ for doing so (ie Chinese people).
I like how people have an experience or interaction and act like it applies to everyone and every situation. Then they come into the comments trying to spread their "wisdom", bashing a whole race or group of people based off of ONE individual they've encountered. I feel sorry for the human race. It should be illegal for people under 50 years old to type a comment on the internet.
Bluntforce - The interesting thing about that, is if you judged them based on your ONE experience, they're the first to say, "Just because that happened to you that one time, don't mean we all like that."
What the hell language (I'm being sarcastic) is that boy speaking in that tweet. And we wonder why kids are failing aptitude tests left and right. Idolizing these, (I can't even call them entertainers or musicians) so I'll just say performers who speak like that.
People of all races have self hatred not just black people. These types of people are just not self aware. They've been traumatized by someone or society in some way.

Nikki Noel he’s fetishizing you like they all do. He don’t wanna hear shit about Blk issues tho lol
All races can be ignorant. You will be someone's 1st love when God sends him. You are beautiful just as you are💯
More times than not, I feel hopeless with the black mans'/womans' plight.
I have never heard of Bill Duke, but I now realised I have seen his work all my life.
The way he hold himself is with this sense of resigned wisdom and calm.
Stylish shirt and hat to!
When Vlad said “Darker than you”, Mr. Duke was thinking “You know you done fucked up right?”
LMAOOO
I heard Vlad take a big swallow after that one. His voice cracked too.
Love Bill Duke, I love my people and especially love my blackness #4evaeva 💯
Black people need to unite so us wise ones can help the other's.
@@Feverishkiller no no no ae must help.
This is the one thing white people are good at that we aren't
no race needs to unite. None ever has before, white people have never been united as a race. That is definitely not the solution.
Every race is good at uniting except black people.
@@Provemewrongwithfacts lmao what? Show me one time in history an entire race was united. That has never even come close to happening. Europe is probably the most divided continent on earth they've been fighting and killing eachother since the dawn of time. They fucking hate eachother. Uniting as a race is not the secret to being successful.
That last bit was mind-blowing
Love me some Bill Duke as he always drops that knowledge....!!!!
This still goes on to this day i think this all the self hate and how we treat one another is our main issues we need to tackle in our community as a people b4 we start tackling the outside issues💯
The G.O.A.T. Bill Duke!
Great guy, great actor. Very intelligent, well read. Best interview on VladTV, more of him!
Btw, I LOVE dark skinned women and I'm a light skinned brother. Melanin is beauty baby. We need to stop this discrimination shit and teach our young black daughters that they are ALL queens regardless of their color. We need to value our black women too!
Bill Duke the man.
Yesssss!! A man of great integrity, and intelligence!😔
This is crazy to learn this! Glad that Bill Duke is bringing light to this issue. You too, Vlad. Thank you, gentlemen. I will share this info with my network.

This is worth listening to.. unlike most of the present day CRT stuff that's being repeated on every platform..
Absolutely love these interviews with this great smart man! #respect
Truth in every word from Mr. Dukes.
The cow at the end example was crazy. "Trauma passed down genetically". Yea even Lord Jamar described DNA as being "the result of everything that came before you"
Raised cows. Saw a lot of calves/yearlings test the electrified barbed fence their mom had once tested. He has many great insights but I’m skeptical about this story.
Everybody wants to be black except us. So ridiculous it has to be true. Bill. Duke isn't huge in Hollywood because he's too damn honest. Nothing but respect.
Everytime he says "Massa" a chill goes down my spine
One of the best guest you had that shed real light on black American issues
I'm A Brownskin Man Who Grew Up Wanting LightSkin Latina Women Never Hating Darkskin Women (My First Girlfriend Was Darkskin) But Thinking Back I Don't Know If My Attractions To LightSkin Latina Women Was A Form Of SelfHate Seriously Just Being Honest
Brown skin and Darkskin are the same thing FOH 😂😂😂
Duke has always been one of my favorite supporting actors. Now he will always be one of my favorite human beings.
Bill Duke is a true soul brother and keeps it 💯, respect the knowledge and wisedom
People say that i am privileged because I'm lighter skinned African American. I tell people no...I'm not privileged I'm thankful to be a child of God. I don't believe in separation of color. Folks should treat everyone equally
Because that's all they see, colorerism.
Self hate is the biggest problem in our communities
Wow. I’m glad you’re sharing this ‼️
Not from a self-hate standpoint, but like Nas said...
"The darker you are, the realer your problems "
My brother called the shot years ago when I was a kid. Riding in his car he said something like " As dark as you are, your gonna be in for a lot of bullshit" - he was right, and I aint even that dark
Absolutely awesome interview! must respect to Mr.Bill Duke
this dude vlad said "darker than you i believe". Really? 🤔
major Forever I've seen people darker than Bill
ok... i would bet hesitancy for the average american person puting they're' money on someone they know in the back of they're head is for sure darker than Bill Duke! ??? I'm sure you don't bet though right? 🤑
So what?
Duke is definitely darker
Definitely not darker than bill duke lol
True beauty comes from within, no matter how pretty/handsome you are on the outside. It's a true saying, beauty is only skin deep. Mr. Duke, you are a beautiful person.
His Face wen he said Sammy Sosa was like wtf
forasaje well he said don't let a white person play me in my movie
@@Bodyhealthsoul Michael Jackson had leprosy[skin pigment] disease. His diet gave it to him. It wasn't because he want to be white, but he had self hate issues. Confidence in himself. Prolly from the abuse he got. Abuse leads to self hate.
Blak Blood well who else would be able to play him in his later years? Yes he’s a legend but stop acting like that dude didn’t hate his blackness. That vitiligo shit can fly for his skin color but not for all the other changes he’s made. Plus the fact that mysteriously none of his kids are black
Blak Blood that was just bc he didn’t want anyone to call him out about hating him self. Bottom line is that no black man could play him in a movie. He was born black and died white only ever dated one woman who was white and has 3 white kids
@@JH-zf6br maybe they had vitiligo to
this should have way more views. very thought provoking message
Just reading that “glokknine” tweet gave me cancer
My eyestrain was intensified 🤣
Bill Duke is an amazing human being. He is humane, he is a philosopher, poet, and very much the son of loving parents. You can still see his childhood in his eyes. He's miles above me. It's an honor to see these interviews. I feel as though I am in the presence of someone great.
I loved the story he tells about what a kid said to him in Brussels Belgium as he sat alone in a restaurant. This kid walks up to his table, looks at him and says "You know you done fucked up. You know that don't you?"
Know what I find most interesting? How many people in the comments are telling everyone what black men are like, what black women are like, what people like, and why. For some reason NONE of us like being judged or told how we are "supposed" to act based on our skin color but look how easy so many people do it to one another without thinking twice.
I Love and Appreciate My Melanin!

I used to be mistreated as a child by my family bc I was light skin with green eyes, and these were the ppl that had to care for me bc my mother and father were crackheads. It was horrible, that's why I'm happy I'm an adult now bc I can defend myself.
I feel you on this..I hope You are HAPPY Now..God BLESS YOU.💖💓

Now this is great stuff. Let's keep this discussion going on.....
May Bill Duke be blessed by God himself and continue to speak the truth we all need to know!💯
How could anyone not love this man?, he speaks with such Truth.
I know what he might have went through. I went through some rasicm from my own people for being darkskinned. It affects your self worth,your confidence too.
I think we all beautiful.
I don't care how light or dark a female is. If we vibe we vibe.
In Brazil, educated or well off dark skin men of African decent often marries indigenous people to so called "lighten-up" their offspring.
It’s a global thing bro
Very good idea. If I was dumb enough to have kids it would be with a white blonde. With my complexion the child would be white basically.
You can get a wealth of knowledge listening to this man speak is a very clever man and has been around for a long time.
What's crazy about this is......I use to work in the Seasonal Department at Lowe's. I worked with these 3 white guys who were pretty cool for the most part. This one white guy named Caleb ....he and I became really cool, but he was always asking those "Black Questions".. I remember one day we were looking at the women walking through the store and he started telling me how White Men 99% of the time only date Black women who are very dark skinned with natural hair. I said, so White guys don't date light-skinned Black Women....he said preferably Not. I sat back for a minute pondering...what he said. I asked why do White Men prefer Darker Black Women. He said, honestly and I'm almost embarrassed to tell you this, but we see them more exotic like how we saw them in slavery plus...alot of them hate their dark skin, so they worship white people, so that we can give them a mixed child. He went on to say that it's a fetish to see their semen sprayed on dark skin. I sat their not saying anything, because I wanted to hear it from the horses mouth. White guys have a fetish with dark skinned women. So now when I see a mixed couple....9 times out of 10....I always see what he told me, but you can't tell those Black women that he truly doesn't love her....she will only think you are hating because her own community didn't except her
I'm white and I have no idea what you're taking about. I'm sure in 90% of mixed couples the white guy loves his wife
Wow. Thats some deep shit. Im caramel complexion & my sisters, mom, brother , sisters, grandmother are red bones.We all prefer & love dark skinned men/women. It makes a lot of sense what u said now im thinking about it & that is my reason of why i dont like white men. It reminds me of slave & master. Damn, smh. That shit real.
To be fair...you should have told him the truth about black men dating/marrying white women. They like to see their black manhood pounding against white flesh. Charlemagne the Gawd even spoke that. That's prolly why they grannies stayed gettin beasted and livin on they knees all for a big black buck.
So you talked to one white guy and came to the conclusion that all white men are the same... I saw a black guy punch a woman in the face a while ago. I wonder if that's what all black men do... Sounds stupid, doesn't it?
@@BluntforceJ lol

WHO NEED HISTORY CLASS WHEN WE GOT BILL DUKES.... ASA N INSHA'ALLAH KEEP DOIN YOUR THING MY BRO...... NWK.NJ16THAVE........
I do believe trauma can be passed down genetically but the cow example was not a good one because it ignores the possibility that the cow told her calves about the electric fence. We're not the only animals that communicate you know.
MOST DARK SKINNED DUDES FEEL AND THINK THE SAME WAY GLOKKNINE THINKS. THESE SAME DUDES WILL HATE ON A LIGHTER SKINNED DUDE............PATHETIC.
That's probably because black people probably teased him because of his complexion
I agree with this Legendary Elder when he said "Everybody wants to be black but us" but, I'd follow up with "when it comes down to it non black people are glad that they aren't black.
Bill looking like a conductor on the underground railroad ...his outfit is killing me
Young ppl need to hear these types of interviews. This is black history on the real!
Dear Black Americans, don't be confused or feel as if you're by yourselves. It may seem that way b/c many of you aren't well traveled or have only lived stateside, but white people experience these same issues and it comes from no type of traumatic past at all. Nationality doesn't equate to race, but many Turks don't look traditionally white with blonde hair and blue eyes. Neither do Syrians, Israelis, or Poles. Shit, very many Italians look dramatically different from many Spanish citizens. There is most certainly conflict and a noticeable difference between these parties that comes from one white person being lighter or darker with straighter hair than the other. So please don't let the vail remain over your eyes as if this is a black only problem. Vladimir himself is Russian and look completely different from Ed Sheeran, who is British. They are both clearly white men and they would receive different treatments based upon where they are at certain times. So it something that takes place for all races, nationalities, and ethnicities:
Chinese people look down upon many Singaporeans. They're both Asian.
Japanese look down upon many Pakistani. They're both Asian.
So it's everywhere. Don't feel worse of or more at war than any other race b/c there is a trauma attached to yours and not theirs. So continue to be yourself and bless up. Much love.
This is intense. An amazing interview

Genetically transfered slavery mind state???? Wow I have to research this cause animal genetics allows baby's to know
How to adapt and live just off of genetic memorie transfer! So it's possible to transfer emotional memories??? If so then that's scary for a number of reasons
And the biggest one I fear is not being able to change if the pass dictates our future??? Its a good platform for a debate! because if
I can pass my dominant emotion
Of slavery my child won't have to worry about the insecure feelings
But how do you fight the fact that they keep reminding us of how we was treated like animals just to break our spirits??? Is that what Kanye West is talking about???
Mental slavery??? This is deep!
We need to debate this seriously.
VITTALSOUNDZ INC. alcoholism can be passed on in genes... there is definitely correlation
If you haven’t discovered it by now, you should go look up, post traumatic slave syndrome(PTSS) by Dr Joy Degury. Her theory will explain EVERYTHING and it’s really not that deep.
I'm glad we still got ppl like bill Duke around because if we didnt us a ppl would be lost because we are already losing our history because ppl dont wanna talk about it or acknowledge it
I always hated my color and the fact my mom is a blonde haired, blue eyed woman. I wanted to look like my dad. I wanted darker skin.. sometimes still do. Once my parents split, my blackness was a piece of my dad I held onto for dear life. My school had a number of black students you count and name. There, I was always considered one of them. They knew I was black and let me know it too. Regardless of the shade of my skin.. even though it made me mad, it kind of made me proud. Daddy always told me I was a strong black woman, and to be proud of my color, my curls and my history, so I was. Pointing out my blackness was a compliment in my eyes. Racism from white folks pissed me off, but didn’t hurt my feelings, but I wasn’t prepared for what awaited me.
As a single mother, my mom had to move us to a neighborhood she could afford. To my joy, there were black faces everywhere, and finally black kids to play with and belong to. (All my black relatives live in North Carolina.. my moms family is white and low key racist) I was brutally bullied and beaten and excluded by a people, young and old, who I admired and loved. I wanted to be part of them, and I thought I was. But I quickly learned that I belonged nowhere. That hurt worse than any name a white person could ever call me. It only got worse as I grew older because I also come from a very strict family. Only clean music and age appropriate movies. That means no rap, no Friday, no Set I Off.. I was culturally behind. My hair only made things worse because neither I, nor my mother knew how to properly take care of my it, so I walked around with a HUGE frizzy target on the back of my head, and everyone took aim. The neighborhood made sure I knew I wasn’t really black and I didn’t belong.. the girls jumped me and cut my hair, the boys only wanted to own me like a shiny new toy, and when I denied them, they lied and said I did disgusting things. (even though I knew NOTHING about sex) No one wanted to be my friend. A few girls pretended, but only to take me to a dangerous part of town and lose me on purpose, then when I found my way out and back to them, they laughed as they jumped me and threw me and my book bag in the pool. The older folks looked at me with disgust as if my mother’s audacity and crimes were my only identity... so I tried to prove them wrong. I became a fighter, spoke with slang and my families natural country accent. I practiced all the dances and binge watched all the black movies. I learned every word to every rap, soul, and r&b song I could get my hands on. I studied my history tirelessly. I talked black struggle and pride.. and I perfected my own greens, black eyed peas and Mac n cheese recipes.. I tried my hardest to prove I was just as black as them, if not more and that I deserved to be part of them.
Unfortunately, tv and the neighborhood kids couldn’t teach me what it really meant to be black.. only how to be ghetto.. (no the two are not synonymous) and since my lack of hood knowledge seemed to nullify my blackness even after I worked so hard already, I changed even more. I smoked weed and hung out with gangs. I dated dark skinned men only because I didn’t want light skinned babies. (Im now married an amazing man who happens to also be dark skinned, because let’s face it, black is BEAUTIFUL.) I even refused to go to the advanced classes that I qualified for because there weren’t many black kids and I didn’t wanna be teased about it anymore. I simultaneously had the highest test scores and most referrals of the entire student body.
Basically I ruined my life because of wanting to belong and my self esteem, along with my sense of identity was destroyed. I still struggle sometimes.. my husband’s fam calls me the white girl, swears I can’t cook or dance. They don’t believe I do my own daughters hair or could possibly know how.. and it hurts. They tell me I don’t get to have an opinion on black issues cuz I’m white. Some of them even started calling me Becky when we met. (Shut that down quick)
I never thought I was better, I only wanted to belong. Now, I still struggle internally from time to time, but I just want to be me. I’ve finally learned that I don’t have to be the brand of blackness everyone wants to be. I don’t have to like Love and Basketball or sweet potato pie. I can me me, and me is back. And me is white. And I’m learning to be ok with that. I won’t allow anyone else to make me feel like I’m less than all that my ancestors died for me to be.. a strong biracial, black woman. My daughters biological mom is white and I refuse to allow her to dissolve into the woman I became through hate and my own insecurities. She will know her identity is not a label that can be given or taken by anyone. No hand me downs here except the fire that is the blood of fighters that runs through both our veins.
Biracial people over compensating trying to be black. I keep telling people that Colin Kaepernick and Jesse Williams just wanna get their black card, but they won't believe me. Sorry about your experiences. My advice: Be you. Always be you. Accept and cherish your blackness AND your whiteness. That is the beauty of you. If others don't, fuck'em!
A similar dynamic is at play in the left vs right in the US. Keep people at each other's throats so they are easier to control, when they actually have more in common than not.
Is the perception of Vlad being a culture vulture still in affect?
I'm a white person and I know that black people are beautiful, heck black women are literally Queens and black males are referred as kings. That stuff didn't just come out of the blue there's a reason why.
Everyone shut up and listen...an old, wise, Black man is talking👂👂👂
I'm light skin, but my father was dark skin and my mother was light skin. I didn't realize there was a problem until I got out in the world and especially when I moved to Texas. I grew up on the Southside of Chicago and there were some issues, but not like I encountered in Texas.
No one talks about/judges my light skin tone more than other black people. No one judges me for coming from a decent family more than other black people. I feel like it's resentment.
I was talking to a dude who eventually told me I had a house n-word mentality because I didn't agree with using being black as a reason to not try to make it in the world regardless. Broke that ish off real quick. All he talked about was how unfair it was instead of doing ANYTHING.
Maybe you need to stop claiming you're something you're not. Don't blame Black people.
how am I claiming something I'm not?
@@6fthighgetlifted
You said "other" black people like you're also Black but you aren't. Why don't you tell whites (or whatever admix makes you light) to give you your birthright. Why are you mad at Black people for calling out mixed people for trying to say black comes in many shades? Not _that_ damn many. Why are Black people wrong for saying something about you being light?
@O Negative, lol what? both my parents are black. I guess I just got whatever white genes they had in em. and when I say they say stuff about me being light I mean condescending ish or the opposite where they think I'm full of myself and I have no problems in life and look down on them when I don't. I had no idea I was that light until other black people started commenting on it.
and socially it can be frustrating not feeling like you fit in on either side.
@@6fthighgetlifted
I understood already from your original post. I'm asking if you feel like these Black people who say condescending ish things about your hue are wrong? Whites do the same to biracials and quadroons in their families but they aren't called colorist for not accepting them as white. Somehow Blacks are always blamed and shamed for doing wise things... which other races also do and are considered high IQ for doing so (ie Chinese people).
I can listen to him talk for hours

I like how people have an experience or interaction and act like it applies to everyone and every situation. Then they come into the comments trying to spread their "wisdom", bashing a whole race or group of people based off of ONE individual they've encountered.
I feel sorry for the human race. It should be illegal for people under 50 years old to type a comment on the internet.
