    As a mixed race person I think this was a great episode and much needed. I’m glad that you guys have made it aware to Ryder to embrace being black and mixed. It’s also important for parents to make it known to their child how they’ll be perceived by the world so they aren’t shocked when they are treated that way. Some mixed kids like maybe in Cory’s case think they have white privilege and don’t. So I’m glad that you guys don’t dance around that fact with your kids

    Black American culture is a distinct thing, but because you all are from and grew up in the states you probably are overlooking things that are obvious to me (I am Haitian-American). R hit it on the head, soul food (mac&cheese, cornbread, black eyed peas, greens), creole/cajun food, jazz, gospel, hip-hop, R&B, break dancing, braids/cornrows, waves, fades, locs, African-American Vernacular English (language/dialect), gumbo, kwanza, Juneteenth, fish & grits, big funerals (def a black thing lol). I think in the US so many non-black people have taken from Black culture to the extent of having us confused what's what (rock & roll, country, etc... all originated from black American culture)

      Yea as black Americans sometimes we take our culture for granted
      Most of America culture comes from black American
      Like the family reunion tradition and Memorial day
      From the food and music
      All come from black America

      Right like I wonder what Cheyenne was talking about because everything comes from Black Culture. White people are really the only race that have no culture if we’re being honest. Blues is also big in Black culture especially here in the south!

    I’m white passing mixed biracial. Dad: black/creole, mom: Irish, Hungarian, Norwegian everything white lol However, I was raised majority by my Black Dad…my mom definitely had struggles with me growing up and identifying with my black side and struggled with my curly hair etc. My black side has always been more welcoming and I grew up around them more.
    Fast forward to now…My daughter is white passing mixed with red curly hair (her dad and I coparent and are both mixed). My husband is full black and we have a baby on the way.
    I think you guys are doing great by leading examples for your kids by letting them explore their own culture and differences and also others. At the end of the day we’re teaching how to not just love ourselves and differences but others which is beautiful!! It’s the best thing we can do!!

    Rather than a default friend, I think she was more looking for the word acquaintance. Which i totally get what she meant by that.
    For me I'm white, I'm white white I'm Scottish/ Irish . My partner is a mixed black man. We have 2 kids, our son to look at him is black, our daughter is white. I didnt grow up with these conversations, so I'm interested to have these conversations and learn with my children. I ask my partner questions all the time just for intrest or context. But I've also been yelled at one time that I'm the problem for being a white woman stealing black men. So I have so many questions and would love to be in more talks like this . Love you ladies ❤

    I think it was a very interesting conversation! Interested to see how the kids will handle this as they grow up.
    Both of my parents are Black, white and Native American and I’ve been told I have Puerto Rican blood on my dads side. I was raised in Black American culture always knowing of my mixed heritage. Because of my appearance I was treated like I wasn’t Black enough and I’ve kinda always had to figure out where I belong and how does each part of my heritage play into who I am.

    While I am not multi-racial, my daughter is black and white. She came out with 4b type hair so I’ve had people say what Zach says which is she’s just black, I’m teaching her that she’s biracial because it’s her reality and she needs to know both parts of her. My best friend’s daughter is similar to Ryder with a half white dad and a black mom but she has a looser curl pattern than my daughter so genetics are going to do what they do. There is no specific skin tone or hair color to determine someone’s ethnic makeup. From where I stand, Ace is just as mixed as Ryder since they both have half black and half white dads. They just have different skin tones.

    I don’t think you guys fully understand colorism and stating that black Americans have no culture while this as a group of black identifying women is extremely harmful. I would suggest that you do more research or actually invite a guest that can actually speak to this topic. This conversation is so insensitive and shows you lack basic understanding. Please use this as a teachable moment because this conversation was not it.

    • @pinkloading
      @pinkloading 11 месяцев назад +1

      I don’t think it was necessarily insensitive but I do this conversation shows a little misunderstanding. Stating Black people have no culture sounds very uneducated, I do love love Cheyenne & R but this conversation was cringy. I hope they use this as a teaching moment & invite someone on their podcast who can speak more to this conversation as they can not. Usually, R can always articulate things but in this moment, I don’t think she did. Also, Cheyenne saying “The black community had a fit” is weird. That sounded weird asf in my opinion. Cory should’ve been more educated before making that statement on live. That was on his dad, and unfortunately, he did not.

    • @shawnymarie8146
      @shawnymarie8146 11 месяцев назад +1

      @@pinkloading I can agree to disagree with the “insensitive” word use simply due to platform that the women have and when it comes to the sensitivity of this topic more care should have been put into it, especially due to the backlash that Cory received. it could have been a huge learning opportunity. the conversation needed a deeper dive into race, ethnicity, and phenotypes. I think that it’s ok to take a step back and realize that you (not you specifically, but in general) may not have all of the knowledge to speak on something. but for sure I agree with your (@pinkloading’s) comment. I think that black people and black culture are constantly looked down upon, and when people use their platforms to discuss it should be thought out. overall there is a level of ignorance to the race/ethnicity and colorism convo. I do hope that they use this as a learning opportunity. we all could have benefited.

    • @pinkloading
      @pinkloading 11 месяцев назад +1

      @@shawnymarie8146 I do understand your point. They can be more mindful of their platform especially when it comes to this topic of race. Please look at my other comments, I did mention there’s a big difference between race, ethnicity, and nationality. I do think they should have some more educated on this topic on their podcast. Also, Cory’s live situation during BLM protests in 2020 was definitely a teaching moment not sure why Chey said, “the black community threw a fit”… Like everything is about race with us, it was made that way when we were brought over here as slaves and so on. Let’s not dismiss that or dimmish that in a certain way. Cory was ignorant at the time, and if he’s not anything then that’s wonderful 🫶🏽 But let’s also call a spade a spade. I think some people are very defensive or sensitive sometimes when we say things that they don’t necessarily agree with.
