Well just for your basic info it is well known that the racism in Europe is better hidden than the racism in America but it still EXISTS.

When I was a kid, I really hated my skin color, it was horrible, I felt horrible just by my skin, my lips my nose, Beyonce was a important part of my life, seeing her was a miracle for me, my own family and "firends" from school make me feel ugly and hate my skin too I love my skin so much now, thank u Queen B
As a West Africa, I will never understand why there's so much hate towards blacks in the U.S (I am assuming you're American). To the extend that there has to be a song about our skin color to cheer us up. Skin tone doesn't mean anything in human body

This song makes me cry everytime i hear it. "Melanin too dark to throw her shade" and "but your skin it glow like diamonds" Thank you so much for this song, Beyonce, we needed this. Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story 😭😍
I’m white and i cry every time I hear this song, i just wish this song would be released much earlier bcs I have the feeling that so many black girls needed it. I love ya all and I’m proud that my best friend is such a beautiful Girl with a skin that glows like diamonds ❤️

This song does not apply to me in the slightest, but i always have it on repeat. African American woman are some of the most beautiful women in the world and im so happy this song was made to remind them of that. Much love to all of you 🥰
I normally wear my braids in to school as its easier to cope with but I took them out and went natural to school. You have no idea how many confused looks, rude comments, questions and queries I had gotten from my peers. My friends said and I quote "Girl, you would look way nicer with straight hair like me." and " Daisy has similar hair to yours just it's not ass messy and big". My mum picked me up from school and this song played. I cried. I cried full tears and I couldn't stop. So thank you for this song as it helped me realise that my hair, my skin, my eyes and my body are something to be proud of and I have no need to change it.
I'm a balck woman from America married to a African man from the Ivory Coast and I always tell him, even in our vowels when we got married in 2021 that he is the most beautiful man I have ever laid my eyes on and I meant that from the heart❤
Dear beyonce, i I wish they had videos like this when I was a kid growing up it would have saved me so much hatred for my skin tone for my hair for my lips my curves I didn't appreciate what it had because I was told I was ugly for what I had so I wanted to hide what I had not knowing what I had was pure gold I will never hide them again!
"Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story." This really helped my because sometimes I think I'm not good enough and ppl say black kids can't learn. It really hurt for all of us but someday we have to take those hard days. This song inspired me so much I cannot stop listening to it. Whenever I have a bad day I listen to this!!
You never let others tell you what you can’t do. Not only can you learn, when you do, you create .... amazingly!!! Be unapologetic and shine. Prove them all wrong. They tell you negative things because they judge you based off of what Hollywood promotes. They don’t pour Into you because know what comes with you being full. Create your path and conquer when the roads are blocked. Never stop fighting, never stop being great!
Never let anyone else degrade your beauty you the original person on the planet everybody else is a carbon copy of us we are gods first men and women and remember hue man means color man so to be a human you have to have melanin remember
john John Please tell me you don’t believe in the out of Africa theory. That is a lie and has never been proven. Yes we are God’s first people. But them white people came from cave dwellers, Neanderthals and we Africans didn’t create them ugly things. We are God’s chosen people and will always be. God will bring us back to our land. The Bible says so!!!!
Every time I listen to this song I tear up. 💔 Growing up, my best friend was a very dark-skinned black girl. When we played outside she would only play with me in the shade. I asked her why and she told me she hated her skin tone and didn’t want to get darker. When we became teens, she would always talk about how she wanted my hair, she wanted my skin tone. But I’m not kidding when I tell you that she was beautiful enough to be a model. I tried to tell her for years that she was beautiful but it never got through to her... the voice of the media, the voice of people who were racist and colorist towards her, even the voice of her own family was louder than mine and she truly never believed that she was beautiful. I hate that so many black women are taught to hate themselves from a young age. I hate all of the racism and colorism in the world. Sometimes it all feels overwhelming and impossible to get rid of. I just hope if you are reading this you know that you are BEAUTIFUL, you are WORTHY, you are NOT a mistake. You do not need to change anything about yourself. The things others try to change about you are the special qualities that set you apart and help to “tell your story.” ❤️
Black women are not taught to hate themselves. I am sure you heard that from social media. I love the shade because the sun is too hot. When it is cold I love to feel the sun on my dark skin. If you really are interest in different cultures, don’t watch the news or be on social media, all lies. Black/Brown people love the skin they are in, at most the ones I know. The media mostly portrayed by someone not black paint a different picture. Much love to you😊
@Amy Young the complete reverse can be true, white girls who hate their skin/ are teased over it/ constantly fake tan to the point of never letting anyone seeing their real color. i know because i did that as a child. it will probably become more & more common with all the black supremacy pushed by the media. regardless, men of all races will sexually select for lighter skin because of biology. meaning they will continue to choose women lighter than their sisters. black women will continue to hate white women for this, regardless of feel-good sentiments like this original comment. as whites become a smaller & smaller minority, the cultural attempts at revenge (affirmative action, "you can't say my word") will become more & more extreme, likely culminating in war.
Absolutely mesmerizing! The rhythm, the lyrics, and the emotion all weave together to create an anthem that celebrates beauty and strength. This song is a masterpiece that resonates deeply, reminding every brown skin girl of her undeniable grace and radiance. Listening to this on repeat is pure bliss! 🌟💖
Even though I’m a Brown skin boy I’m so happy Brown Skinned girls have an empowering song like this. I see what y’all go through and the way y’all come out back on top of all the internalized discrimination held against you is astounding 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

I can’t stop crying with this song . I am a Mexican American brown girl and growing up I was always told being lighter was pretty . Many told me I was pretty for a brown girl . I could never understand why wasn’t I just told “you are pretty “. Many of family members were obsessed with face creams that lighten your skin . It no longer hurts when they talk about my skin since I love my skin 💕

You are beautiful. Don't try to change. I am Caribbean. In our family we are different shades. My eldest sister is dark skinned, looks Indian, and thick stranded hair. Gets it from her father. She is beautiful at 60yrs. Embrace your beauty. 💞
My mother always hated her skin, cause she was the only brown girl in her class, or in her friend group. I keep on telling her, her skin is a beautiful brown sugar. And I told her to listen to this song and she did and she cried. She loves this song. Her and other brown skin girls are so beautiful! I love y’all, and have a good day/night! 🖤✊🏽✨

i’m white af but this song made me emotional to the point of crying.. this is such a beautiful song. it’s so important to tell every little black girl and boy and even women and men that their skin is beautiful. i see why beyoncé gets all the hype❤️
@@franciscastar334 Idky, at least I don't understand THEIR reasons completely. There's a video out here on yt with a message from Africa to Beyoncé basically saying thanks but no thanks to Black Is King. Their complaints ranged from a belief she like many many others were simply exploiting Africa for her own profit and wondered if and how Africa would benefit? Something about (misinformation I think) the fact she doesn't visit or bring her major tours to Africa, but obviously she did visit several places in Africa to complete this project. Some disapproved of the images used to represent Africa. Thinking they did not accurately reflect the modern way in which African people live today, just wearing jeans or business suits or other designer clothes, and stylish hair, even weaves and accessories & are active social media users, they seemed to feel-- just based on the trailer,--once again they were portrayed from ages ago as a step above savagery, wearing loin cloths , living in tribes in forests and such or something out of Black Panther. IMO Africa doesn't have a good image or reputation around the world , basically known for war, corruption and poverty and disease, the origins of humanity and AIDS, ALWAYS with a hand out for help, getting loans from the WHO and China and not paying back, FGM, stolen girls, etc... and Beyonce was trying to help provide positive I images about our Roots, this generation of Africans didn't seem to see it that way. The conversation thread showed a mix of support for Beyonce from African Americans and support from other Africans who agreed with blasting her. A disconnect in feelings was revealed with several AA trying to convey their teaching or lack thereof, about their own heritage in Africa and mainly negative stereotypes and bringing it current day to the murder of George Floyd and the resistance to the first black/Indian woman being nominated to vice president of the United States of a major party, to all the cop Murders and growing anti black sentiment in America, even historically from African people. This discourse seemed to demonstrate a need for less judgement and More of these understanding conversations. That was More detailed than I planned to respond but that's the gist of it.
@@Cassanrda20 why must you swear? Are you incapable of making a point without profanity? You don't have the right to swear at me especially when you are a person who endorses segregation and compartmentalisation amongst your race. This style of thinking is what perpetuates colourism and division within a race of people. You're marginally educated, myopic and corrosively misinformed. Eat a book
one sided loyalty is for suckas Shut up. White people not gonna claim Light Skins they are black and beautiful. this song is meant for all queens me and my mom gonna jam to this song even though she’s light skin and has “white features” such as freckles she is fully black has 4c hair and has been racially profiled multiple times I’m brown skin and I will not allow you to segregate other black women
I cried when I saw this in the movie. It made me emotional because I was constantly picked on for my skin/ or my African features such as my hair or my nose. This is beautiful ❤️🌸
This actually makes me feel better cause i am brown skin and I was gonna bleach my skin because i don’t really like my skin 😕 all my friends and family are lighter than me…but this song encouraged me not to and send me a message that was deep my skin just like pearls. Thanks for all your encouraging words every time I’m sad I come back to your replies and they make me smile 💕
I'm glad you changed your mind. I was like that too, until I discovered my worth. You are beautiful and your skin is too priceless/valuable for it to be changed.
Thank you to black women for starting to love their skin and standing up for themselves ♥️ it really set an example for the rest of us POC girls to start appreciating and feeling comfortable in ours too. Seeing y’all embrace your beauty really helped the rest of us understand ours too so thank you
This song is amazing!! As a white girl to see how the beautiful black culture is progressing more and more and breaking barriers is so beautiful to see... its time for all of you beautiful brown skin girls to shine!!! The way it’s supposed to be!!! 👸🏿👸🏾👸🏽 your skin... your hair... your beautiful African curves are beautiful and don’t let anyone tell you different!!! 👸🏿👸🏽👸🏾
Best on the album, tell them brown girls stop bleaching, we love your skin the way it is, never change it for anybody else baby girls, same skin that was broken be the same taking over 😍😍😍
This song brings the love my inner child lacked for herself. Being the darkest out of all my siblings I often hated myself for not being light. But looking back at old photos of my ancestors they were all dark brown or if not even darker than I am. And I like to see myself now as a reflection of those in my lineage who have come way before me. They live on in and with me. ✨💜
This makes me shed tears. Not because I've had issues with my skin, I'm Kenyan. But going through the comments I realize how lucky I've been to be black, born and raised in Africa. Other black women else where have been through so much. You poor things!😢😢
that's proof that racemixing doesn't work. here, black men prefer white girls, which black women & white men absolutely hate. and the racial conflict defines our entire politics. as a white girl, i'm sick to death of hearing about it. i can't apologize for the preferences of men. black women would be happier in Africa.
@@geminifreestyle3697 ?thats a lie.maybe dont spread rumors about black men when you arent even one.and you can have ur white girls back.we dont want them.
@@geminifreestyle3697 also,i think ur saying that so you can feel better because you dont love urself.maybe you should search it up instead of saying that.aint no one want pasty skin.its like saying that white men take away all the black women.you would start screaming.white girls are too weak .how bout i do a stereotype just like you did.fine i will.all white women fuck their cousins.how bout that .stereotypes are nasty and so are you
@@geminifreestyle3697 This would be true if we was living back in the 1950's. Black women are so far removed from hating black men who date white women. Its not an issue anymore. The racial conflict between black and white goes way deeper than interracial dating, you barely scratched the surface with that comment. If you want to date a black man....go ahead. If a black man prefers you.....congratulations. Just leave black women out of it because we don't care, and we are tired of "hearing" it. You listened to this entire song and the best you could get out of it is, black women and white men hate black men and white women dating, and its affecting the politics, so I believe black women would do better in Africa? Smh.
I moved to London from Jamaica 23 years ago. My father wrote me a beautiful letter letting me know how beautiful my complexion was and that I should never ever change it. My grandmother who I also left behind passed away early this morning, she always made me feel so cherished and so empowered. Between the two I wouldn't have been the proud and string black woman I am today had they not instill self-love. Rest in beautiful peace Vanetta Johnson.
I cannot remember when last I cried listening to a song. .......CAN'T SEEM TO STOP!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 You have earned my highest respect Beyonce and Wizkid. I am a proud mother of a brown skin girl in a challenging world. I am a black skin girl holding my head up high. Thank you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
AND, no one really talks about this, but if we all bled to death, we would ALL have the same blood. O, and we would be dead, no matter what are skin color is. (I have like 3 friends and have never been kissed yet and I’m 21.) (isn’t THAT interesting) I also want Michael B. Jordan’s children. Please pray for me. Ok bye, I’m really not this weird in person. 😂 I’m only weird on the Internet. Maybe...
I’m so obsessed with this song and I’m only 11 years old,I LOVE THIS SONG it’s so powerful...teaching us so much about us brown skin girls that we don’t know ourselves what beauty shines within us! ❣️LETS SHINE ALL OVER THE WORLD BROWN SKIN GIRLS! 👩🏽👩🏽🦱

Joelle meaning Jehovah is God Your stupid get out.
Ya be proud
Everyone is proud the way they are irrelevant to say your colour tbh no one asked u fool
I normally wear my braids in to school as its easier to cope with but I took them out and went natural to school. You have no idea how many confused looks, rude comments, questions and queries I had gotten from my peers. My friends said and I quote "Girl, you would look way nicer with straight hair like me." and " Daisy has similar hair to yours just it's not ass messy and big". My mum picked me up from school and this song played. I cried. I cried full tears and I couldn't stop. So thank you for this song as it helped me realise that my hair, my skin, my eyes and my body are something to be proud of and I have no need to change it.

Dear beyonce, i I wish they had videos like this when I was a kid growing up it would have saved me so much hatred for my skin tone for my hair for my lips my curves I didn't appreciate what it had because I was told I was ugly for what I had so I wanted to hide what I had not knowing what I had was pure gold I will never hide them again!

"Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story." This really helped my because sometimes I think I'm not good enough and ppl say black kids can't learn. It really hurt for all of us but someday we have to take those hard days. This song inspired me so much I cannot stop listening to it. Whenever I have a bad day I listen to this!!
You never let others tell you what you can’t do. Not only can you learn, when you do, you create .... amazingly!!! Be unapologetic and shine. Prove them all wrong. They tell you negative things because they judge you based off of what Hollywood promotes. They don’t pour Into you because know what comes with you being full. Create your path and conquer when the roads are blocked. Never stop fighting, never stop being great!
Never let anyone else degrade your beauty you the original person on the planet everybody else is a carbon copy of us we are gods first men and women and remember hue man means color man so to be a human you have to have melanin remember
john John Please tell me you don’t believe in the out of Africa theory. That is a lie and has never been proven. Yes we are God’s first people. But them white people came from cave dwellers, Neanderthals and we Africans didn’t create them ugly things. We are God’s chosen people and will always be. God will bring us back to our land. The Bible says so!!!!
Love you girl♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

The fact that this song didn’t blow up shows how people really feel.
Fr and its Beyonce so you know it's a race issue
@@destineejones1560 lol yep. But at least it got 24 million views
i was thinking the same
But this song did blow up to those that mattered! My young nieces and nephews sing this son all of the time.
It blew up here in Nigeria
Every time I listen to this song I tear up. 💔 Growing up, my best friend was a very dark-skinned black girl. When we played outside she would only play with me in the shade. I asked her why and she told me she hated her skin tone and didn’t want to get darker. When we became teens, she would always talk about how she wanted my hair, she wanted my skin tone. But I’m not kidding when I tell you that she was beautiful enough to be a model. I tried to tell her for years that she was beautiful but it never got through to her... the voice of the media, the voice of people who were racist and colorist towards her, even the voice of her own family was louder than mine and she truly never believed that she was beautiful.
I hate that so many black women are taught to hate themselves from a young age. I hate all of the racism and colorism in the world. Sometimes it all feels overwhelming and impossible to get rid of. I just hope if you are reading this you know that you are BEAUTIFUL, you are WORTHY, you are NOT a mistake. You do not need to change anything about yourself. The things others try to change about you are the special qualities that set you apart and help to “tell your story.” ❤️
Black women are not taught to hate themselves. I am sure you heard that from social media. I love the shade because the sun is too hot. When it is cold I love to feel the sun on my dark skin. If you really are interest in different cultures, don’t watch the news or be on social media, all lies. Black/Brown people love the skin they are in, at most the ones I know. The media mostly portrayed by someone not black paint a different picture. Much love to you😊
Also, we are all created in God’s image. God created me and whoever hates me insults the God(Jesus) who created me😊
Jay D we are
Jay D some black women hate their skin, speak for yourself please lmao
@Amy Young the complete reverse can be true, white girls who hate their skin/ are teased over it/ constantly fake tan to the point of never letting anyone seeing their real color. i know because i did that as a child. it will probably become more & more common with all the black supremacy pushed by the media. regardless, men of all races will sexually select for lighter skin because of biology. meaning they will continue to choose women lighter than their sisters. black women will continue to hate white women for this, regardless of feel-good sentiments like this original comment. as whites become a smaller & smaller minority, the cultural attempts at revenge (affirmative action, "you can't say my word") will become more & more extreme, likely culminating in war.
Absolutely mesmerizing! The rhythm, the lyrics, and the emotion all weave together to create an anthem that celebrates beauty and strength. This song is a masterpiece that resonates deeply, reminding every brown skin girl of her undeniable grace and radiance. Listening to this on repeat is pure bliss! 🌟💖

I agree, I think people, in Africa, are upset with her over the album even prior to it's release.
Utbr01 how come??
@@franciscastar334 Idky, at least I don't understand THEIR reasons completely.
There's a video out here on yt with a message from Africa to Beyoncé basically saying thanks but no thanks to Black Is King.
Their complaints ranged from a belief she like many many others were simply exploiting Africa for her own profit and wondered if and how Africa would benefit?
Something about (misinformation I think) the fact she doesn't visit or bring her major tours to Africa, but obviously she did visit several places in Africa to complete this project.
Some disapproved of the images used to represent Africa. Thinking they did not accurately reflect the modern way in which African people live today, just wearing jeans or business suits or other designer clothes, and stylish hair, even weaves and accessories & are active social media users, they seemed to feel-- just based on the trailer,--once again they were portrayed from ages ago as a step above savagery, wearing loin cloths , living in tribes in forests and such or something out of Black Panther.
IMO Africa doesn't have a good image or reputation around the world , basically known for war, corruption and poverty and disease, the origins of humanity and AIDS, ALWAYS with a hand out for help, getting loans from the WHO and China and not paying back, FGM, stolen girls, etc... and Beyonce was trying to help provide positive I images about our Roots, this generation of Africans didn't seem to see it that way.
The conversation thread showed a mix of support for Beyonce from African Americans and support from other Africans who agreed with blasting her.
A disconnect in feelings was revealed with several AA trying to convey their teaching or lack thereof, about their own heritage in Africa and mainly negative stereotypes and bringing it current day to the murder of George Floyd and the resistance to the first black/Indian woman being nominated to vice president of the United States of a major party, to all the cop Murders and growing anti black sentiment in America, even historically from African people.
This discourse seemed to demonstrate a need for less judgement and More of these understanding conversations.
That was More detailed than I planned to respond but that's the gist of it.
This song is for all the black girls in the world. Regardless of shade or complexion. Be proud of your brown skin and melanin
Stfu. Is it so hard to let something being about dark-skinned women for a second?
@@Cassanrda20 why must you swear? Are you incapable of making a point without profanity? You don't have the right to swear at me especially when you are a person who endorses segregation and compartmentalisation amongst your race. This style of thinking is what perpetuates colourism and division within a race of people. You're marginally educated, myopic and corrosively misinformed. Eat a book
one sided loyalty is for suckas Shut up. White people not gonna claim Light Skins they are black and beautiful. this song is meant for all queens me and my mom gonna jam to this song even though she’s light skin and has “white features” such as freckles she is fully black has 4c hair and has been racially profiled multiple times I’m brown skin and I will not allow you to segregate other black women

that's proof that racemixing doesn't work. here, black men prefer white girls, which black women & white men absolutely hate. and the racial conflict defines our entire politics. as a white girl, i'm sick to death of hearing about it. i can't apologize for the preferences of men. black women would be happier in Africa.

@@geminifreestyle3697 This would be true if we was living back in the 1950's. Black women are so far removed from hating black men who date white women. Its not an issue anymore. The racial conflict between black and white goes way deeper than interracial dating, you barely scratched the surface with that comment. If you want to date a black man....go ahead. If a black man prefers you.....congratulations. Just leave black women out of it because we don't care, and we are tired of "hearing" it. You listened to this entire song and the best you could get out of it is, black women and white men hate black men and white women dating, and its affecting the politics, so I believe black women would do better in Africa? Smh.

I'm a very white skin girl, but this song makes me cry. It's feels like I'm a brown skin girl.👱🏻♀️👱🏾♀️❤
I literally cried listening to this song 🤗thank you Bey,Wizkid Blue....
🇰🇪
Just when I thought Beyoncé couldn’t get any better she drops this
Beyonce told me she loves my body and my skin color dont even bother trying to insult me
Period.
XD
AND, no one really talks about this, but if we all bled to death, we would ALL have the same blood. O, and we would be dead, no matter what are skin color is. (I have like 3 friends and have never been kissed yet and I’m 21.) (isn’t THAT interesting) I also want Michael B. Jordan’s children. Please pray for me. Ok bye, I’m really not this weird in person. 😂 I’m only weird on the Internet. Maybe...
MOOD FOR 2019 AND FOREVER
you suck

"Brown Skin Girl"
(feat. Blue Ivy Carter)
(from "The Lion King: The Gift" soundtrack)
[SAINt JHN & Blue Ivy Carter:]
Brown skin girl
Your skin just like pearls
The best thing in the world
Never trade you for anybody else
Singin' brown skin girl
Your skin just like pearls
The best thing in the world
I never trade you for anybody else, singin'
[Wizkid:]
She said she really grew up poor like me
Don't believe in nothin' but the almighty
Just a likkle jeans and a pure white tee
She never did forever be nobody wifey, yeah
So while I may not pretty boy, your heart is amiss
Play it like a villain 'cause she caught in a wave
Tonight I am walkin' away
Lined up my mind, on the grind, yeah, yeah
Tonight I might fall in love, dependin' on how you hold me
I'm glad that I'm calmin' down, can't let no one come control me
Keep dancin' and call it love, she fightin' but fallin' slowly
If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told me
Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls
Your back against the world
I never trade you for anybody else, say
Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls
The best thing in all the world
I never trade you for anybody else, say
[Beyonce:]
Pose like a trophy when Naomis walk in
She need an Oscar for that pretty dark skin
Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close in
Drip broke the levee when my Kellys roll in
I think tonight she might braid her braids
Melanin too dark to throw her shade
She minds her business and winds her waist
Gold like 24k, okay
[Wizkid & Beyonce:]
Tonight I might fall in love, dependin' on how you hold me

Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls

[Beyonce:]
Oh, have you looked in the mirror lately? (Lately)
Wish you could trade eyes with me (Because)
There's complexities in complexion
But your skin, it glow like diamonds
Dig me like the earth, you be giving birth
Took everything in life, baby, know your worth
I love everything about you, from your nappy curls
To every single curve, your body natural
Same skin that was broken be the same skin takin' over
Most things out of focus, view
But when you're in the room, they notice you (Notice you)
'Cause you're beautiful
Yeah, you're beautiful
Them men, them gon' fall in love with you and all of your glory
Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story
Keep dancin', they can't control you
They watchin', they all adore you
If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told you
[Beyonce & Wizkid:]
Brown skin girl (Brown skin girl), ya skin just like pearls (Brown skin girl)
Your back against the world (Oh)
I never trade you for anybody else, say (No, no)
Brown skin girl (Brown skin girl), ya skin just like pearls (Brown skin)
The best thing in all the world
I never trade you for anybody else, say
[Blue Ivy Carter:]
Brown skin girl
Your skin just like pearls
The best thing in the world
I never trade you for anybody else, singin'

When I first heard this song, the part that touched me was: “when you’re in the room, they notice you”.
Blue Ivy has the cutest voice in the world! I love the Carter family!
