    -----------------------
    In this clip, Angela Means opened up about her experiences with colorism and the cycle of alienation it breeds in the Black community. Angela commended Bill Duke for his documentary 'Dark Girls' but added that there are untold truths of colorism felt on the other side of the spectrum for light skinned Black people, and women specifically.
    Later, Angela Means details being in Europe and having people notice her as "Felicia" and what made her leave her home state of Michigan for life on the West Coast.

    These negative comments show how simple American society is. This woman is 55 years old and has not had any cosmetic procedures. She is not a drug addict and never has been! How disrespectful smh She owns a vegan soul food cafe in LA! She is a whole mood and hella down to earth Her son is smart and successful too😌I’m wondering how many of you will look at 55 but by then Botox will be over the counter smh. This is real aging people!!!

      AlmightyGamer I disagree with that..White women want to look like mixed black momen. They don't want to be super dark or have real african features. They want to look ambiguous and mixed because men love mixed and light skinted black women...So do they really want to be black? I'm starting to see why so many people want to draw the line between the Biracial and black women. Because everyone from the outside have drawn a line and it determines how we are treated.

      @@queensheba357 i dont agree it dont matter what colour your skin is if your attractive and pretty you will get treated differently.
      Especially if your dark skined because you will stand out and if you have confidence in yourself.
      Maybe its different for africans and jamaicans but where im from you are who you are its not about the colour of your skin.
      Ugly people get treated like shit you can be black, white or orange dont matter.
      If your attractive doors open for you it dont matter about the shade of skin.
      And what are african features? Some african women are very beautiful and slender others not so much.
      Do you mean big nose and lips? I wouldnt say they are 'african features'

      @Sweet potato Pie my father was mixed and when he was a child in the 1940s--with his Black family members--White people would ask him if he was okay and why are you with them. He passed for White as a young child. I think after puberty and the hormones come into play, hair gets curlier, skin darkens, and Black features dominate. However, sometimes when they hit 50 and hormones and collagen decreases, they could start looking White again?

    Bi-racial women complain about what they had to go through being mixed and how awful it all was, but if you were to ask them if they would trade their experiences with a deeply melanated woman.

    I just came across this video. I grew up with Angie. She was also a teammate in high school (basketball). We went to Ypsilanti Lincoln. I remember Angie as funny, kind to everyone, and just beautiful. We all talked about how we "knew" she would be a model. I am wondering if she remembers a horrible racial incident we experienced together...our basketball team were attacked by a predominantly black high school team, and the game had to be called. As we tried to escape Angie was targeted. It was an extremely traumatic event in my life. I'm wondering how it has affected her in the long term. God Bless you Angie. I have such wonderful fond memories of you! Even the hysterical part you played in our school's 5th grade play! 🤣

      How can you all say "She acts like Felisha" when it's a fictional being and you have no idea how Pooh and Cube envisioned the character during development. Rhetorical question. What general population doesn't realize about the business is many actors make the character with their own natural characteristics. Which is why an actor with an entertaining personality can make a small role not intended to be significant into one of the greatest and most popular facets in a project. They regret not giving the character Ezel a bigger part in the storyline for that reason.

Because what people don't want to understand is that only complimenting your light skin daughter will of course make your dark skin daughter feel bad, but, it will also make your light skin daughter feel uncomfortable. Being praised while the people you love and identify with are not praised in the same way is not a privilege, it's an excluder and it makes a lot of internal confusion. I applaud you💐

      @@dawsonfamily9214 It's complicated to describe their genes. There are creole people that can have the same two parents and one child can come out looking like her, and their sibling could be dark skinned with her same hair texture; while both of their parents are brown or dark skinned and not have any of the genes that their children picked up. There are creole people that have brown skinned parents and can come out lighter than her. So yes they're mixed in theory, but when it comes down to it, they're not necessarily mixed. If you have two black parents and 2 black grandparents on both sides, but happen to come out looking like her or lighter, you're still black. I've met creole people that look like white european people ( skin, hair, eyes, nose, etc), but they weren't white; they were creole. It's quite fascinating imo.

      @@dawsonfamily9214 No, because a lot of these people do not have direct white mixed ancestry. Their white ancestors tend to be many generations back. That's why two dark or brown skinned creole people from dark or brown skinned parents can have a bright skinned child with recessive genes. Some of them could also be a far removed descendant of native Americans or even both European and native ancestry.

He was a cute little guy period, but very pale (with curly hair) because he was mixed. Two 7th grade female students came to my class early. I stepped out of the room for a minute. They had been teasing him. He told them off. He'd been taught to stand up for himself. I think he cussed them out🤣🤣. One of them pushed him and he hit his head on the radiator. He had a huge goose egg on his head. All his life he dealt with bullying. He was very kind and sensitive. People can't help what they look like. They also get tired of our useless opinions and bullying. Our folks can be as cruel to one another as anyone else. Especially when you're different "period". If it's dirty laundry, we need to clean that crap up 😤. Where are the community summits and forums for educating people on: family, racial equity, economics, and self determination? Till we can do better, let's not worry about "The Others" so much (esp. With all these missing HOH's).
