Loyal to what. You're not obligated to only date black men. I didn't have a black man raising me so I wasn't brought up to only date black men. I understand the loyalty for those of you that loved your black fathers and brothers but for the ones that didn't have a black father's love it's a little difficult to understand. Like Loni said it's about who you connect with.
@@mycutecatvidz9610 depends on your environment. Most black people are only raised around black people and choose other black people. If that isn't the case, many parents tell you not to date outside of your race because of racism and hate crimes ...
"The other thing I can say about Black women dating White men for the most part....nobody starts there. We give a lotta chances." I hollered at her and Loni's facials 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes! She brings a level head and informed perspective to the group. I really, really like her. Although, I do want a gay male on here. Or, even a ultra cool hetero male.
Kamala is biracial and multiethnic woman of color. She's not just black and i would not consider her just black. Your upbringing and home life is very important and plays a HUGE role in your identity and how you identify. The one drop "rule" is out dated and is divisive. As Kamala she's playing up her blackness for votes.
Dani X I agree as much as I don’t like trump ass..and I mean I dislike him like he stole my bike..but I can’t vote for this women based off of what I’ve seen so far ( my opinion is subject to change though) I really wanted democrats to hit hard this coming election.. she better bring the facts and unapologetic truth. We don’t need anymore “ we are the world” people in office
Honestly, it’s not about her not being black enough.. it is about her starting to pander to the black community by dancing to Cardi B and making overtly black references just like Hilary tried. Black folks are tired of the same song and dance. Dancing to Cardi and referencing a Beyoncé song, going to Howard or pledging AKA is not enough. She’s going to have to have some real agendas for the black community. The reason her “blackness” is even coming up is because NOW she is trying to play up blackness as if that is all required for the black community vote. If that’s all you have to offer, no vote.
I don’t care about her being biracial or having a white husband. I’m all for interracial dating. The issue with her is strictly political. Democrats have become lazy as it regards to the black community. They don’t even address our issues. They just invite a few popular artists in stage and make black references and then leave the community. Then you don’t hear from them until it’s time to Vote again. She is starting with that same blueprint. We CAN criticize democratic candidates. They are not entitled to our vote, at least not mine anymore
@@marygitihaable Capitalism was the reason black folks were put into slavery, to produce cheap cotton and other crops. So you can get out of here with that nonsense. Black folks should be Democratic Socialist like MLK.
I agree, I am obviously black I was born in Africa and raised in Europe just because I spoke "better" than a lot of my white counterparts (in different languages :) ) people were often baffled and looking for a way out my blackness & I had to explain honestly it is what it is so... deal with it.
Loni doesn't know that being British is a nationality, not a race. Anyone of any race can be British, American, Spanish, French, Canadian, German etc. One's nationality is determined by the passport they hold...NOT THEIR RACE.
How is she being hypocritical or ignorant? She defined both definitions of black and blackness as it pertains to how Others may question Kamala. Did she interject her opinion in the matter? No, she didn't. As for the young rapper, Loni made a colourful jest about not all black people are the the black folks we(Americans) may think they are. Did Loni make disparaging comments about the guy's "blackness." No.
Not just that. Loni herself always used to be giving Tamera side eye for choosing Adam (wise cracks about he can't dance, or can't season food, etc.) but suddenly "As a Black woman dating a White man..." is her platform. Now it's ok. Because it's her.
Americans have weird race relations. In the U.K. if you have only one black parent, you’re ‘mixed race’ and people don’t take offence to that. Anyway...
People here still call those with one Black parent and the other White 'Black' , I know that from being a Londoner. More ppl use the term 'mixed-race', but the one-drop rule is unfortunately still in effect.
Amaechi Jones I’m a Londoner as well and I know some black people still call themselves black but it’s not to the same extent as in America. Go out of London and you’ll see that there are so many mixed people that it’s another race classification
But what is Black? What constitutes as Black varies from country to country, especially in places where slavery/forced racial mixing was prominent. Many Black Americans would be considered "coloured" in South Africa. Does that make them less Black?
Thr 33 Anytime a black person speaks with an education ignorant people try to dismiss their blackness as if black people cant be educated like???? It’s so gross how much they hate inside
Rusty Shackleford it has nothing to do with her being an educated woman it’s about the fact that she’s simply not black 50 percent of her dna is Indian
I was Tamera was there :/ I’ll never forget that time she shared that someone commented “how come you don’t post pictures of your mom? Too black for ya?” And all the horrible comments about “before he had to pay to get you and now he’s getting it for free” absolutely heartbreaking. Love is love is love who cares about dating outside of race?
@@GlendaTheGW I think I understand what she's trying to say. I don't know if what I'm about to say is correct but this is my thought. There's nothing wrong with Interracial relationships, but there's double standards to them most of the time. Most of the time that person is with that person because they're just a difference race. Everyone is entitled to have a preference, but don't put a certain group of people down to uplift your "preference". Sometimes self-hate is involved. I've heard people say they don't want darkskin babies. I agree 100% that love is love but it isn't love all the time.
Who gives a flick if she went to Howard university and pledged AKA. Kamala Harris's record as district attorney of san Francisco and attorney general of California is what is being questioned.
I LOVE that Yvette kept it real! (“We give a lot of chances”)😂😂😂Also as a proud Black Woman myself, I don’t know about Kamala Harris, I have to research her views and stance as she runs for President....
Love is love and it's about compatibility like Loni said. My blackness doesn't diminish if I choose to date or marry outside of my race. I will still fight for the justice of my black brothers and sisters, but at the end of the day the one person that God made for me and the one person that God directed in my life to love me and support me unconditionally just so happens to be outside my race. Kamala's blackness or any other black individual who decides to love someone outside of their race should not be questioned, it's 2019 when will we finally end the discussion of what race are you and why are you with this person...
@ATL 1 I disagree on that one. The race of your partner doesn’t matter if your politics are screwed up. I can’t lie and say it didn’t give him a push from the black community, but politics are politics. His wife could be green and if he didn’t have good standpoints for his campaign he wouldn’t have won and way
I think that she didn't mean it like that. Of course you can see that 21 is black but he is not American so I think that Loni was just trying to be funny by saying that not everyone is black black witch I understood as not every dark skinned person is black American.
She most likely meant he was not AMERICAN Descendant of Slaves or commonly known as African American. Of course he is black skin or of African origan. But 21 is most likely of Africa British Immigrants or British Descendant of Slaves.
She was referring to 21 repping Georgia when he is really from England...he fooled all of us trying to affect his voice to NOT sound British. she was making a comment in jest.
She seems suspicious 😒 she’s clearly an opportunist. Actions speak louder than words and her actions clearly are not for the benefit of the people she claims to be a part of.
It is KH's actions as an DA and state AG that is my issue with her. She should run as an Republican as that is where her decisions more reflect. Her Blackness is just a distraction to take us away from the damage she has done to the Black Community in the name if Law and Order. That is enough to say NO THANKS!
Apparently u do care about her race... To run for President ur race isn't a criteria... It doesn't disqualify you. So why is this such a big issue? Is it because she's born to immigrant parents? Last I checked, she is a born AMERICAN!
@@xoox6492 I asked a random question my love! I've been reading all these comments and the things I'm seeing is plain ignorance from most, hence my question bcuz I'm confused on what the big uproar is really about.
(Sigh) Okay.... I am pretty much the same mix as Kamala, but with a European descent mother. As a mixed woman, who has no problem identifying as such, I will never understand other mixed ppl just claiming how they are “black, and will die black”, when there are actual Black women and men who go through things that a light skinned, racially ambiguous looking, MULTIRACIAL person will probably NEVER have to face. I would never take that from any of my Black girlfriends saying that I am what they are, when it’s not true! This is why mixed race ppl are aiding erasing not only the identity of Black women, but also themselves! Why can’t we just say we a both, or multiple???? Why only claim You will die Black when you won’t also claim “I will die Indian”??? Makes no sense to me. Don’t pull the opportunist card Kamala, that’s why we mixed race women have a bad rep 🙄
I think you're being pretty ignorant. Biracial people are black as well. If you have a black parent you can claim it. Obama was half white but look how society saw him. Majority of white people voted against him because he was Kenyan. They made demands he show his birth certificate and called him a Muslim. Mixed people are still black. And let us also not forget you have black people who are also light skinned with both light skinned parents. What do you do with them? They still deal with race issues just like any other black person. But the lighter you are the easier it is. Dark skinned black people get it the worse, but it does not mean my light skinned brothers and sisters are not black. They still black. Race is a social construct and society perceives them as black.
TK King you’re calling a mixed woman that calls herself mixed...... ignorant... did I get that right? 🥴 The one drop rule you’re holding onto was made to suppress you. I will never understand why people still willingly hold onto in today. Mixed is not a degrading or offensive word. Biology doesn’t lie. Black biologically and socially, means something different to mixed. That’s a hard pill you need to eventually swallow.
Yes all the time! I was always accused of being "white" because of the lightness of my skin and because of my physical attributes. This came from black,white,and my own Hispanic people. I was accused of being another race and that I was lying because I was too pretty to be "Mexican" or too thick in the right areas to be Mexican. They would ask if I was sure I wasn't "Italian" or "Puerto Rican" because of my looks. I would have to full out say an entire paragraph in Spanish for people to believe me. I am Mexican and proud I wouldn't want to be any other race and I love when ppl doubt my ethnicity because it shows the real ignorance in this world and I get to constantly defend my people and educate folks.
I'm just gonna repost the comment I made when loni questioned 21 savage: Loni's comment is what really irks me about some black folks logic. If your from the hood and act a certain way you're black. But if you deviate from that in any way you're essentially trying to appropriate to fit into "high class" society and you're "black card" gets revoked. This is similar to how people criticize tam because she married a white man and speaks in a certain demeanor, so they take away her "black card". I myself have a black dad and Hispanic mom and I carry myself in a certain way and I'm in school to get my master's and other blacks around me say I'm trying to "act white". Some people need to stop with this BS.
I get it but Kamala isn’t black! She’s mixed! We can’t fight against racism while holding on tight to that one drop rule! Kamala is mixed and there’s nothing wrong with that!
Roger Fleming lol people who believe that nonsense are a MESS . They say the same thing to Africans who don’t act ‘black’ or speak like ‘black’. I was told that once as an African and I was baffled with that. I could barely speak English back then let alone talk like a real ‘black’ person. 🙄 my African American teacher said it’s another way of keeping themselves in the shackles and following what white supremacists say about how black people should act.
Lauren Cameron Ive an honest question if Kamala was dark skinned woman , who was still mixed would people question her blackness? as an East African (Eritrea ) I was told I can’t be black because my skin is light , European features etc. I was considered not black even though my sister who’s darker was seen as one. I’m not fully sure but I’ve a feeling that this sadly has to do with her skin tone.
I absolutely agree with you on this except it's the other way around for me. My mom is black (African American) and my father is puertorican. A lot of black people think I talk white, and think I'm mixed with white. It's so annoying because a lot of people say this and all I really do is act myself. I've got my BS in Elementary Education and I'm working on my Masters.
I’m not sure about anybody else but for some reason especially in the black community , sometimes ( even jokingly ) you will be considered “ not black enough “ for doing things that may not be seen as something “ a black person would do “ like I’ve always been confused and somewhat offended because NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE SAME! We don’t have to be ghetto or like certain music to prove who we are! I know who I am and don’t have to prove anything to anybody! I’m black and I’m proud regardless what anyone else thinks
Say that! Very well said and I absolutely agree... I'm black and our ppl call me white girl all the time. I take offense BC I'm not. I know my ancestry and I know where i am from. I have to sometimes school them lol. I am actually half Nigerian, but BC I dnt look like a textbook African I'm not... Smh
I've been getting told I'm not black enough all my life because I'm into Rock & Pop music instead of Hip-Hop. My mom calls me white girl because of that. I'm NOT going to change my taste in music though.
I don't happen to be black but I absolutely agree with you. But I guess I won't totally understand US citizen with the race issue they have. And I never will understand what acting white or black should even mean.
I get called white becuase I refuse to say n**ga. Look I may be black but I have my own personal reasons of why I don't do something typical of "black culture "
I'm in Cali. Growing up Mexicans would question me for being Puerto Rican/Dominican. They just say "oh so y'all are black people that speaks Spanish." Is there a problem? And I'm sorry, but no matter what race you are or ethnicity, people vary in a multitude of shades. Just because someone doesn't look like your stereotypical belief, doesn't mean they don't exist. It ain't always black and white, there are shades of grey too. People can be so ignorant, it is beyond me. Quite frankly, I feel more respected with my colored friends. It doesn't really matter to them and that's a beautiful thing.
Well Rican/ Dominican isnt a race, they are either mixed, Black or White. So he was probably right. Youre probably a Black/ mixed person with hispanic culture. And you're right it doesnt matter.
I'm 🇵🇷 and 🇩🇴 we come in all different colors. From white to black. We have afirican, Spaniards and tiano indian. We are mixed people. Your afro- latino.
I have experienced something similar living here on the west coast. It’s only because they’re not used to people outside their culture. My father is Colombian and my mom Honduran and out here people have told me I’m not and I don’t look like a person from those ethnicities.
Thanks for the clarification loni. Obviously the black community is comfortable with bi/multiracial. President Obama. But her history with the prison system is sickening. She is not supportive of actionable change for the black experience
Mr Lex You don’t like your skin tone. You DO NOT need to date and create mixed babies, you need to love yourself without dragging a White woman or Latina or whatever other race that isn’t Black into the picture.
It's still strange to me to see people up in arms over a prosecutor's record in locking up criminals, but not address the criminal's behavior. We wouldn't even need to discuss anybody's record if people just followed the law, stayed in school, or learned a legal trade, let go of hatred, and keep working until you find where you want to be. Is it really that hard to stay out of a courtroom? Get your life together! I'm more concerned with her relationship with her former boss. As it stands, we have stepped in the right direction with the help of her friends and allies (like Vann Jones) to criminal justice reform. I want to know if she will further that. Her race/ethinicity is of no concern to me.
@Anne Day First, how much of Senator Harris did you know before she decided to run? To assess her character after having never seen her outside the Senate doors is awfully premature. Opposition research happens to all who enter politics. Secondly, as for the black vote, it has not been and currently isn't strong enough to sway a presidential election. We don't have the electoral college numbers. Our focus should be statewide. And lastly, you did exactly what I hear others do. You go straight to how unfair prison is, but have zero recommendations for never going in the first place. Where are we as a community when our focus is changing sentencing and not education, or challenging the "prison industrial complex", but not young black men terrorizing a community of their own people. It may ring hollow for you, but having a gun pointed to your head in a convenience store line because a young black boy would rather steal and potentially murder, than get a job....something more than prison reform needs to happen. Yes, I agree though...my head would have "rang hollow" if that young black man found my life worthless because of his anger.
YVETTE!!!! YES! I tried to date black men for so long and any quality black man looked right past me until I started going out with white men. And now we get comments from everybody about why we are dating. He is kind, funny, and we are attracted to each other. People need to mind they own ratchet love lives!
Father: Donald Harris, half black, half white, Jamaican decent Mother: Shyamala Gopalan, Indian decent I’m not understanding how these facts equate to this woman being black.
My comment I only stated the facts. If you’re irritated, I apologize. Maybe multiracial or biracial even though bi would imply 2. These are options on legal documents, but I don’t want to, nor is it my job to assign a race to this woman. 10 minutes on Google provided me with these facts.
@@darylpettiford4900 A few minutes on Google should also tell u that a person of mixed ancestry can chose to identify as either white or black. This woman according to you said publicly she's BLACK! QUESTION - IS RACE A CRITERIA FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY?
Shan W my purpose for posting initially was for anyone who didn’t feel like checking for themselves. Mrs Harris may identify herself as European, African, or Indian it doesn’t matter to me. But myself and many other black Americans remember Obama being so proud of his blackness. We gave him our donations and our vote and in return he gave us nothing. He felt no obligation to black Americans, because his dad was African and he was raised in a white household. Now Kamala comes along with no black exes, (other than the married Mayor who gave her a 6 figure job) no black children, and basically no ties to the black community outside of the political arena. She wants black voters to believe that she’s smoking blunts listening Pac and Snoop. Here’s a direct quote from her father “My dear departed grandmothers (whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”
@@darylpettiford4900 I read it all! I myself have a vested interest in this bcuz I'm a JamaicanAmerican, so trust when I say I've read it all and is paying a close attention to this candidate. I must and will agree with her father, however, I don't think he meant he's disassociating himself from her but more so the rhetoric that bcuz she has jamaican descents means she has/had smoked pot. But we digressed, again my question was what does her race have to do with her being a candidate for presidency? Btw wouldn't anybody besides Trump be an upgrade 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ IJS tho
Bonani Mathambo yes. I’m not American so none of these people come up that often but he isn’t black. he’s mixed and he grew up with his mother, who’s the white one right
Kae C Well I 100% agree with you. I'm not American either and where I come from (Zimbabwe) both Harris and Obama would be referred to as mixed race because that's what they are. For whatever reason, Americans just ignore the other half of someone's identity when they are half black. Makes no sense to me.
I'm in my 50's. IF I enter a new relationship it will be about God first, true love and compatibility. No explanations to anyone no matter what race he is. Period.
Kamala is ethinically indian and Jamaican black. These are two different races bi meaning two and racial meaning pertaining to race. She’s biracial 😂. I’m also biracial so no one can tell ME about myself, my family and my story. My brother is also biracial and he looks Italian or Spanish with straight black hair. We mixed race people know who and what we are!
Kinda annoys me how she’s always addressed as a black women when she’s only 25% black, she’s mostly Indian (50%) but it’s never acknowledged and I don’t get why.
Yeah I was wondering that too lol 😂 because me being blasian I've always claim my black side but been a little hesitant to claim my Asian side because I grew up with my mom (who is black ) so that's all I've ever known
I have this issue all the time. I am from the Dominican Republic, I lived there until I was seven years old. My parents both were born in the Dominican Republic. Because I am very light skinned with blue eyes, everyone questions my race. It can get really annoying because Dominican people come in ALL COLORS. If you come to see my family we are all shades of light to dark!
The beauty of Hispanic/Latin people is the diversity in us. Unfortunately, we are not classed as our own race. Instead we're seen as an ethnic group of either African, European, it Asian. Go figure!
@@chrissypacheco9635 It is because Hispanic/Latin are languages of different ethnicities and cultures. There is no difference in races. Race is used to set social systems, not describe culture.
I agree with Loni, it’s about compatibility and not because we don’t appreciate our own race. My husband is a proud black man that loves his people and I’m a proud Latina who wouldn’t change it for anything but when we met it just so happened we connected and fell In love. Our families are one whole family now
I never have agreed with the cultural stigma "black". How people forgot the term was errected to separate, and degrade people of color. So honestly I am actually "brown". I feel some kinda way about it.
get that brown! Im Nigerian but first generation in America, I always tell people Im african and that's how I identify but I like saying "brown" and I understand what you're saying. "brown" is tricky because then you're just saying another color but at least if "brown" has an uplifting connotation it may be better than the original connotation of "black". I think we should use what makes us comfortable and explain it to people to get others more aware (that's what I do with my white boyfriend, I think it's very important to have these kinds of talks)
And yet black folks jumped down Tamera’s throat for marrying a white man.. and she’s mixed too. But if she or Obama or Alicia Keys or J Cole didn’t identify as black, there would be an uproar even though they’re all biracial. You can’t have it both ways.
I feel so bad that people are trying hard to discredit her in any way they can. Im not saying I think shes the perfect candidate but shes very qualified! The rumors of her “horrible prosecutor past” are JUST THAT rumors. She had a job to do. It doesn’t matter what color the people she sent to prison are. It matters that there criminals. Period. This is coming from someone who grew up in sf, the area in which she was a prosecutor. I just wish more people had there own mind and didn’t just hop on hate trains because its trendy or fun
Glenn CoCo And another thing that's so sad is that people are forgetting how horrible our president is and how his lies are becoming more "acceptable" but they wanna criticize Kamala in comparison? At least give her a chance!
black gay antifa who is this “real progressive” you speak of? Pls let us know? If there ISNT one, WHO TF ARE WE VOTING FOR!? And if your definition of “progressive” only involves black people, id rather not engage in this conversation with you as you are ignorant to the rest of the world.
This is so weird to me... I'm Brazilian, and I only came to realize I was "biracial" at 19 when I started to watch american videos to improve in the language... And it was beacuse everything was about race, even in the beauty channels... It was the first time in my whole life that I heard things like: "This is so white", or "black people do this" and "white people do that", and this is so strange to me... Everytime I come across this topic on american videos, I have so many questions... I just wish someone would explain to me a little about american culture and why is so divided...
I am from Croatia , Europe and believe me it is weird to me too....because we don't use terms like those you mentioned and we have some multicultural countries on this beautiful continent. This is a issue that really only the US has. ( although racism exists everywhere, but there is no nation on this planet that is sooooo focused on race like them)
exactly it's very sad, but you can look at our country's melting pot/history/slave trade in America/Ellis Island immigrants/etc and no other country has diversity like this, so clearly that is why but I really appreciate your question and I liked that you were wondering about this, you asked a very intelligent question but I think it traces back to America's history and the fact that no other country has this immense diversity in one condensed area, so imagine if you woke up in Brazil and most neighborhoods were filled with Italian Americans, Black Americans, Africans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Indian Americans etc then you would be waking up in America a literal melting pot of every single ethnicity that is too many to name. I also think social media has a huge influence of the whole "this is so white" "this is so black", because that is comprised of false standards of beauty and stereotypes that we get from our parents/communities that are passed down to generation to generation. That's why people always talk about kids being innocent and not "seeing race" because they have not been fully brainwashed by their parents or community about the false standards of beauty. Im sure someone may have a better answer because this is a hard question that people can write papers about
I get you girl I m from Dominican Republic and no one cares here my boyfriend is black and I m white and it is normal no one adresses our race at all must be a problem in the USA .
@@Scofields1828 I appreciate SO much your willing to try to help me, and I don't know how much one can discuss this type of topic on the comments secction, but since you were kind enough to respond, I'm going to take the opportunity, and ask you if I could use this space to make some questions, to you and to anyone, who are willing to try to help me understand a little bit more... I hope I'm not being inconvinient. Edit: and I'm sorry for my English
She was a Former Prosecutor aka a Fed, Narc, Snitch etc. She also had the privilege of being the first person to ever hear demo tapes from Tupac and Snoop 5-7 years prior to anyone within the record industry.
Interesting that, when a black woman or man chooses different politics than the norm, people question that person's blackness... She should be able to claim blackness and not be questioned because she chose to exercise her right as an American to chose what political values she stands behind. Last time I checked, black leaders marched for black people to support whatever politics and opinions they believe in (no matter how right or wrong they believed such opinions to be).
Literally what does it matter whether someone is black, white, Asian, Latino, whatever... As long as they're a good person, that's all anyone should be bothered about!
Is 'ol girl black? YES. Is her lineage African American? Are her ancestors American descendants of slaves? NO. And THAT is what the argument is about. People are missing the mark! Latin people differentiate between Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, or Costa Rican (some examples) right? She's black but she ain't US us. lol
Kiere Espinoza Her mother is Indian. Her father doesn’t even appear to be fully black. She probably got the little bit of melanin she has from her nonblack mother lol
Kiere Espinoza Right because slavery only existed in America and all blacks in Latin America weren’t enslaved for longer periods of time by the Portuguese and Spaniards, smh pick up a book before you start outing yourself as a fool

Loyal to what. You're not obligated to only date black men. I didn't have a black man raising me so I wasn't brought up to only date black men. I understand the loyalty for those of you that loved your black fathers and brothers but for the ones that didn't have a black father's love it's a little difficult to understand.

Yes! She brings a level head and informed perspective to the group. I really, really like her. Although, I do want a gay male on here. Or, even a ultra cool hetero male.
Kamala is biracial and multiethnic woman of color. She's not just black and i would not consider her just black. Your upbringing and home life is very important and plays a HUGE role in your identity and how you identify.
The one drop "rule" is out dated and is divisive.
As Kamala she's playing up her blackness for votes.
Dani X I agree as much as I don’t like trump ass..and I mean I dislike him like he stole my bike..but I can’t vote for this women based off of what I’ve seen so far ( my opinion is subject to change though) I really wanted democrats to hit hard this coming election.. she better bring the facts and unapologetic truth. We don’t need anymore “ we are the world” people in office
Honestly, it’s not about her not being black enough.. it is about her starting to pander to the black community by dancing to Cardi B and making overtly black references just like Hilary tried. Black folks are tired of the same song and dance. Dancing to Cardi and referencing a Beyoncé song, going to Howard or pledging AKA is not enough. She’s going to have to have some real agendas for the black community. The reason her “blackness” is even coming up is because NOW she is trying to play up blackness as if that is all required for the black community vote. If that’s all you have to offer, no vote.
what do you want her to do ...her job is to uphold the law ..her father is black and she is free to choose her life partner ...
Mary Gitiha being socialist is not insult you know. Being socialist doesn’t mean being anti-black or whatever 🙄
VM1252 I would like her to have an agenda for the black community. Just like I am SURE she will have one for the LGBT community, women and immigration
I don’t care about her being biracial or having a white husband. I’m all for interracial dating. The issue with her is strictly political. Democrats have become lazy as it regards to the black community. They don’t even address our issues. They just invite a few popular artists in stage and make black references and then leave the community. Then you don’t hear from them until it’s time to Vote again. She is starting with that same blueprint. We CAN criticize democratic candidates. They are not entitled to our vote, at least not mine anymore
@@marygitihaable Capitalism was the reason black folks were put into slavery, to produce cheap cotton and other crops. So you can get out of here with that nonsense. Black folks should be Democratic Socialist like MLK.
Loni getting under the table lmfaoo
"Nobody starts there for the most part. We give alot of chances" and i OOP!
“We give a lot of chances.” SPEAK ON IT
I feel like if a person is well spoken and well behaved their blackness is being questioned.
No folks are tired of multiracials pandering to blacks.
Onur Bb lies
Onur Bb that’s a lie and very racist whether you believe it or not. Delete that and never say this again.
Yes. That was Yvette's first point.
I agree, I am obviously black I was born in Africa and raised in Europe just because I spoke "better" than a lot of my white counterparts (in different languages :) ) people were often baffled and looking for a way out my blackness & I had to explain honestly it is what it is so... deal with it.
Yvette is the definition of real!
Yvette said if you see me with an other mind ya business 😂
Loni is a hypocrite she questioned 21 Savage blackness a few videos ago because he's British. Smh.
She not a hypocrite she is Ignorant periodtttt
Loni doesn't know that being British is a nationality, not a race. Anyone of any race can be British, American, Spanish, French, Canadian, German etc. One's nationality is determined by the passport they hold...NOT THEIR RACE.
How is she being hypocritical or ignorant? She defined both definitions of black and blackness as it pertains to how Others may question Kamala. Did she interject her opinion in the matter? No, she didn't. As for the young rapper, Loni made a colourful jest about not all black people are the the black folks we(Americans) may think they are. Did Loni make disparaging comments about the guy's "blackness." No.
She was joking obviously maybe it was a bad joke but she's a comedian
I think she was just joking
Curious what Tam would have said.
Me too
“ well I’m just so thankful ( Insert one of tamera white relatives on her husbands side name here) loves how brown my daughter is”
Not just that. Loni herself always used to be giving Tamera side eye for choosing Adam (wise cracks about he can't dance, or can't season food, etc.) but suddenly "As a Black woman dating a White man..." is her platform. Now it's ok. Because it's her.
Americans have weird race relations. In the U.K. if you have only one black parent, you’re ‘mixed race’ and people don’t take offence to that. Anyway...
People here still call those with one Black parent and the other White 'Black' , I know that from being a Londoner. More ppl use the term 'mixed-race', but the one-drop rule is unfortunately still in effect.
Amaechi Jones I’m a Londoner as well and I know some black people still call themselves black but it’s not to the same extent as in America. Go out of London and you’ll see that there are so many mixed people that it’s another race classification
Amaechi Jones not really,here I’m London if you’re biracial you’re called mixed race by others generally
But what is Black? What constitutes as Black varies from country to country, especially in places where slavery/forced racial mixing was prominent. Many Black Americans would be considered "coloured" in South Africa. Does that make them less Black?
We need to stop Questioning if a black person is Black enough
She ain’t black though
Exactly
Thr 33 Anytime a black person speaks with an education ignorant people try to dismiss their blackness as if black people cant be educated like???? It’s so gross how much they hate inside
Rusty Shackleford it has nothing to do with her being an educated woman it’s about the fact that she’s simply not black 50 percent of her dna is Indian
@@aaliyahgriffin781 PRIME EXAMPLE OF the issue.
Yvette is toooo funny!!!!
"If y'all see me with an other I don't wanna her nothiiiiinnnnngggggggg"
😂🤣🤣🤣
Yvette would make a lovely 5th host. Absolutely enjoyed this episode.
I was Tamera was there :/ I’ll never forget that time she shared that someone commented “how come you don’t post pictures of your mom? Too black for ya?” And all the horrible comments about “before he had to pay to get you and now he’s getting it for free” absolutely heartbreaking. Love is love is love who cares about dating outside of race?
Wish that Tamera was there*
CourtGeorgee that’s so disgusting
Shay91 what is it then shay? Lol WHAT!? Enlighten the masses😂😂😂
@@GlendaTheGW I think I understand what she's trying to say. I don't know if what I'm about to say is correct but this is my thought. There's nothing wrong with Interracial relationships, but there's double standards to them most of the time. Most of the time that person is with that person because they're just a difference race. Everyone is entitled to have a preference, but don't put a certain group of people down to uplift your "preference". Sometimes self-hate is involved. I've heard people say they don't want darkskin babies. I agree 100% that love is love but it isn't love all the time.
No way,maybe in another life. Or world,but not this one
Who gives a flick if she went to Howard university and pledged AKA. Kamala Harris's record as district attorney of san Francisco and attorney general of California is what is being questioned.
I'm married to a white man and I'm black and proud.
You just self hating 😂 "proud" you just want yo kids lightskin like you wish you were,we ain't stupid...you a cattle bih.
I LOVE that Yvette kept it real! (“We give a lot of chances”)😂😂😂Also as a proud Black Woman myself, I don’t know about Kamala Harris, I have to research her views and stance as she runs for President....
"I'm down for the brown" 😭😭😂😂😂
Love is love and it's about compatibility like Loni said. My blackness doesn't diminish if I choose to date or marry outside of my race. I will still fight for the justice of my black brothers and sisters, but at the end of the day the one person that God made for me and the one person that God directed in my life to love me and support me unconditionally just so happens to be outside my race.
Kamala's blackness or any other black individual who decides to love someone outside of their race should not be questioned, it's 2019 when will we finally end the discussion of what race are you and why are you with this person...
Yes 👏
Amen!!!!
@ATL 1 I disagree on that one. The race of your partner doesn’t matter if your politics are screwed up. I can’t lie and say it didn’t give him a push from the black community, but politics are politics. His wife could be green and if he didn’t have good standpoints for his campaign he wouldn’t have won and way
Didn't Lony deny 21 Savage's blackness a couple vids ago just because he's an immigrant?
At least be consistant.
EXACTLYYY!!!!!
I think that she didn't mean it like that. Of course you can see that 21 is black but he is not American so I think that Loni was just trying to be funny by saying that not everyone is black black witch I understood as not every dark skinned person is black American.
I think she's one of those people that think Black=African American ONLY, but obviously that's not true.
She most likely meant he was not AMERICAN Descendant of Slaves or commonly known as African American.
Of course he is black skin or of African origan. But 21 is most likely of Africa British Immigrants or British Descendant of Slaves.
She was referring to 21 repping Georgia when he is really from England...he fooled all of us trying to affect his voice to NOT sound British. she was making a comment in jest.
Yoooo we need her on the show permanently!! Love Evette
She seems suspicious 😒 she’s clearly an opportunist. Actions speak louder than words and her actions clearly are not for the benefit of the people she claims to be a part of.
I don’t care about her race. What people should care about is her history record!
Loni be hiding, under the table. "I love my brothers." - Yvette
I don't care if Kamala was green. I don't like that heffa. She's an opportunist.
Al Person - I have a strong feeling that more things will come out to discredit her character.
T Y excuse me what did you call her? Maybe look at the man in the mirror before you come for someone else.
Mariah Green - I reported T.Y. No one is going to post derogatory names to my posts.
Conscious Wright u go girl
It is KH's actions as an DA and state AG that is my issue with her. She should run as an Republican as that is where her decisions more reflect.
Her Blackness is just a distraction to take us away from the damage she has done to the Black Community in the name if Law and Order. That is enough to say NO THANKS!
Its nice to declare your race even if you are half one .
I love love love when she is on the show. She really says it all the way ✊🏾✊🏾
She only has one half black foot in the door for black people.. I don't care about her race, what are her policies? I don't think they align, ✌.
Apparently u do care about her race...
To run for President ur race isn't a criteria... It doesn't disqualify you. So why is this such a big issue? Is it because she's born to immigrant parents? Last I checked, she is a born AMERICAN!
@@shanw854 What the hell are you talking about? Did I mention her being born to an immigrant? No.
@@xoox6492 I asked a random question my love! I've been reading all these comments and the things I'm seeing is plain ignorance from most, hence my question bcuz I'm confused on what the big uproar is really about.
@A I Nah, I feed myself
@@shanw854 I'm not in an uproar over her race. What I don't like are her policies.
(Sigh) Okay.... I am pretty much the same mix as Kamala, but with a European descent mother. As a mixed woman, who has no problem identifying as such, I will never understand other mixed ppl just claiming how they are “black, and will die black”, when there are actual Black women and men who go through things that a light skinned, racially ambiguous looking, MULTIRACIAL person will probably NEVER have to face. I would never take that from any of my Black girlfriends saying that I am what they are, when it’s not true! This is why mixed race ppl are aiding erasing not only the identity of Black women, but also themselves! Why can’t we just say we a both, or multiple???? Why only claim You will die Black when you won’t also claim “I will die Indian”??? Makes no sense to me. Don’t pull the opportunist card Kamala, that’s why we mixed race women have a bad rep 🙄
I think you're being pretty ignorant. Biracial people are black as well. If you have a black parent you can claim it. Obama was half white but look how society saw him. Majority of white people voted against him because he was Kenyan. They made demands he show his birth certificate and called him a Muslim. Mixed people are still black. And let us also not forget you have black people who are also light skinned with both light skinned parents. What do you do with them? They still deal with race issues just like any other black person. But the lighter you are the easier it is. Dark skinned black people get it the worse, but it does not mean my light skinned brothers and sisters are not black. They still black. Race is a social construct and society perceives them as black.
TK King you’re calling a mixed woman that calls herself mixed...... ignorant... did I get that right? 🥴
The one drop rule you’re holding onto was made to suppress you. I will never understand why people still willingly hold onto in today. Mixed is not a degrading or offensive word. Biology doesn’t lie. Black biologically and socially, means something different to mixed. That’s a hard pill you need to eventually swallow.
New to the show so new to these vids… mixed people are both things. So they should claim both js
It's happened to me! I'm a black woman with two black parents and someone told me "I wasn't really black"
I agree with Yvette she is right!!WE GIVE a million chances before we move on to the next race.
@@McFrappin triggered!
Yes all the time! I was always accused of being "white" because of the lightness of my skin and because of my physical attributes. This came from black,white,and my own Hispanic people. I was accused of being another race and that I was lying because I was too pretty to be "Mexican" or too thick in the right areas to be Mexican. They would ask if I was sure I wasn't "Italian" or "Puerto Rican" because of my looks. I would have to full out say an entire paragraph in Spanish for people to believe me. I am Mexican and proud I wouldn't want to be any other race and I love when ppl doubt my ethnicity because it shows the real ignorance in this world and I get to constantly defend my people and educate folks.
I'm just gonna repost the comment I made when loni questioned 21 savage:
Loni's comment is what really irks me about some black folks logic. If your from the hood and act a certain way you're black. But if you deviate from that in any way you're essentially trying to appropriate to fit into "high class" society and you're "black card" gets revoked. This is similar to how people criticize tam because she married a white man and speaks in a certain demeanor, so they take away her "black card". I myself have a black dad and Hispanic mom and I carry myself in a certain way and I'm in school to get my master's and other blacks around me say I'm trying to "act white". Some people need to stop with this BS.
💯💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I get it but Kamala isn’t black! She’s mixed! We can’t fight against racism while holding on tight to that one drop rule! Kamala is mixed and there’s nothing wrong with that!
Roger Fleming lol people who believe that nonsense are a MESS . They say the same thing to Africans who don’t act ‘black’ or speak like ‘black’. I was told that once as an African and I was baffled with that. I could barely speak English back then let alone talk like a real ‘black’ person. 🙄 my African American teacher said it’s another way of keeping themselves in the shackles and following what white supremacists say about how black people should act.
Lauren Cameron Ive an honest question if Kamala was dark skinned woman , who was still mixed would people question her blackness? as an East African (Eritrea ) I was told I can’t be black because my skin is light , European features etc. I was considered not black even though my sister who’s darker was seen as one. I’m not fully sure but I’ve a feeling that this sadly has to do with her skin tone.
I absolutely agree with you on this except it's the other way around for me. My mom is black (African American) and my father is puertorican. A lot of black people think I talk white, and think I'm mixed with white. It's so annoying because a lot of people say this and all I really do is act myself. I've got my BS in Elementary Education and I'm working on my Masters.
Riiiiight? We give a LOT of chances! Thank you next.
She’s not black. She’s mixed why can’t she just accept that. Ugh.
Why does it matter? Who you’re married to doesn’t determine your blackness and the people who think that way you’re wrong

Can we have more of this host on the show❣
Her records speaks for herself and it is not good .
My dad is white and my mom is black and I ALWAYS get questions about my skin not being dark enough! And honestly I'm tired of it
Your mixed
I’m not sure about anybody else but for some reason especially in the black community , sometimes ( even jokingly ) you will be considered “ not black enough “ for doing things that may not be seen as something “ a black person would do “ like I’ve always been confused and somewhat offended because NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE SAME! We don’t have to be ghetto or like certain music to prove who we are! I know who I am and don’t have to prove anything to anybody! I’m black and I’m proud regardless what anyone else thinks
Say that! Very well said and I absolutely agree... I'm black and our ppl call me white girl all the time. I take offense BC I'm not. I know my ancestry and I know where i am from. I have to sometimes school them lol. I am actually half Nigerian, but BC I dnt look like a textbook African I'm not... Smh
I've been getting told I'm not black enough all my life because I'm into Rock & Pop music instead of Hip-Hop. My mom calls me white girl because of that. I'm NOT going to change my taste in music though.
I don't happen to be black but I absolutely agree with you.
But I guess I won't totally understand US citizen with the race issue they have.
And I never will understand what acting white or black should even mean.
I get called white becuase I refuse to say n**ga. Look I may be black but I have my own personal reasons of why I don't do something typical of "black culture "
@@TwiFiveGirls101 Same. I never said it.
I'm in Cali. Growing up Mexicans would question me for being Puerto Rican/Dominican. They just say "oh so y'all are black people that speaks Spanish." Is there a problem? And I'm sorry, but no matter what race you are or ethnicity, people vary in a multitude of shades. Just because someone doesn't look like your stereotypical belief, doesn't mean they don't exist. It ain't always black and white, there are shades of grey too. People can be so ignorant, it is beyond me. Quite frankly, I feel more respected with my colored friends. It doesn't really matter to them and that's a beautiful thing.
Well Rican/ Dominican isnt a race, they are either mixed, Black or White. So he was probably right. Youre probably a Black/ mixed person with hispanic culture. And you're right it doesnt matter.
@Paris Riam, Mrxican isn't a race either
I'm 🇵🇷 and 🇩🇴 we come in all different colors. From white to black. We have afirican, Spaniards and tiano indian. We are mixed people. Your afro- latino.
I have experienced something similar living here on the west coast. It’s only because they’re not used to people outside their culture. My father is Colombian and my mom Honduran and out here people have told me I’m not and I don’t look like a person from those ethnicities.
Wow. Thanks for sharing
Yessss I always get asked if I’m Caribbean or anything else besides African American and I’m JUST African American
💯 @ Yvette ..bc Loni wasn’t telling her own truth beforehand 😏
Yes Loni!! Say it!!!
Proud Latina here 🇩🇴
Love everyone 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Afro Dominican and Trinidadian here

Those weren't the reasons why her "Blackness" was questioned.
Thanks for the clarification loni. Obviously the black community is comfortable with bi/multiracial. President Obama. But her history with the prison system is sickening. She is not supportive of actionable change for the black experience
Yes yes yes...we give lots of chances 😂😂😂
I only date black men. But that's just me. I wouldnt date outside my race again, not yet anyways. The Black community needs more Black Love
Leon Barnett would say that to a black man who dated outside his race.
@@misstea-uu3nj Yes.
Leon Barnett
Who the hell are you to tell someone that though?
Cool.
Mr Lex You don’t like your skin tone. You DO NOT need to date and create mixed babies, you need to love yourself without dragging a White woman or Latina or whatever other race that isn’t Black into the picture.
It's still strange to me to see people up in arms over a prosecutor's record in locking up criminals, but not address the criminal's behavior. We wouldn't even need to discuss anybody's record if people just followed the law, stayed in school, or learned a legal trade, let go of hatred, and keep working until you find where you want to be. Is it really that hard to stay out of a courtroom? Get your life together! I'm more concerned with her relationship with her former boss. As it stands, we have stepped in the right direction with the help of her friends and allies (like Vann Jones) to criminal justice reform. I want to know if she will further that. Her race/ethinicity is of no concern to me.
Exactly. I agree 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽
Edward James 👏
@Anne Day First, how much of Senator Harris did you know before she decided to run? To assess her character after having never seen her outside the Senate doors is awfully premature. Opposition research happens to all who enter politics. Secondly, as for the black vote, it has not been and currently isn't strong enough to sway a presidential election. We don't have the electoral college numbers. Our focus should be statewide. And lastly, you did exactly what I hear others do. You go straight to how unfair prison is, but have zero recommendations for never going in the first place. Where are we as a community when our focus is changing sentencing and not education, or challenging the "prison industrial complex", but not young black men terrorizing a community of their own people. It may ring hollow for you, but having a gun pointed to your head in a convenience store line because a young black boy would rather steal and potentially murder, than get a job....something more than prison reform needs to happen. Yes, I agree though...my head would have "rang hollow" if that young black man found my life worthless because of his anger.
YVETTE!!!! YES! I tried to date black men for so long and any quality black man looked right past me until I started going out with white men. And now we get comments from everybody about why we are dating. He is kind, funny, and we are attracted to each other. People need to mind they own ratchet love lives!
Yes !! I love this topic and hearing Yvette and Loni’s perspectives 🙌🏾
Father: Donald Harris, half black, half white, Jamaican decent
Mother: Shyamala Gopalan, Indian decent
I’m not understanding how these facts equate to this woman being black.
Question.... What is her race then smarty pants and please don't say mixed bcuz that can not go on any legal document?!
My comment I only stated the facts. If you’re irritated, I apologize. Maybe multiracial or biracial even though bi would imply 2. These are options on legal documents, but I don’t want to, nor is it my job to assign a race to this woman. 10 minutes on Google provided me with these facts.
@@darylpettiford4900 A few minutes on Google should also tell u that a person of mixed ancestry can chose to identify as either white or black. This woman according to you said publicly she's BLACK!
QUESTION - IS RACE A CRITERIA FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY?
Shan W my purpose for posting initially was for anyone who didn’t feel like checking for themselves. Mrs Harris may identify herself as European, African, or Indian it doesn’t matter to me. But myself and many other black Americans remember Obama being so proud of his blackness. We gave him our donations and our vote and in return he gave us nothing. He felt no obligation to black Americans, because his dad was African and he was raised in a white household. Now Kamala comes along with no black exes, (other than the married Mayor who gave her a 6 figure job) no black children, and basically no ties to the black community outside of the political arena. She wants black voters to believe that she’s smoking blunts listening Pac and Snoop. Here’s a direct quote from her father “My dear departed grandmothers (whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”
@@darylpettiford4900 I read it all! I myself have a vested interest in this bcuz I'm a JamaicanAmerican, so trust when I say I've read it all and is paying a close attention to this candidate. I must and will agree with her father, however, I don't think he meant he's disassociating himself from her but more so the rhetoric that bcuz she has jamaican descents means she has/had smoked pot.
But we digressed, again my question was what does her race have to do with her being a candidate for presidency? Btw wouldn't anybody besides Trump be an upgrade 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ IJS tho
She is not black. She is mixed. Biracial. Why the erasure of her Indian heritage and racial makeup.
Obama is mixed too. Do you ask the same question about him?
She's black.
Bonani Mathambo yes. I’m not American so none of these people come up that often but he isn’t black. he’s mixed and he grew up with his mother, who’s the white one right
Nirobiscloset what about the literal other 50% of her dna
Kae C Well I 100% agree with you. I'm not American either and where I come from (Zimbabwe) both Harris and Obama would be referred to as mixed race because that's what they are. For whatever reason, Americans just ignore the other half of someone's identity when they are half black. Makes no sense to me.
I'm in my 50's. IF I enter a new relationship it will be about God first, true love and compatibility. No explanations to anyone no matter what race he is. Period.
So!
Alllllllllll the time! Btw I loved this guess host! ❤️
Well she is biracial. She's Indian and black. Her mom was Indian and her dad was black.
Kamala is ethinically indian and Jamaican black. These are two different races bi meaning two and racial meaning pertaining to race. She’s biracial 😂. I’m also biracial so no one can tell ME about myself, my family and my story. My brother is also biracial and he looks Italian or Spanish with straight black hair. We mixed race people know who and what we are!
Kinda annoys me how she’s always addressed as a black women when she’s only 25% black, she’s mostly Indian (50%) but it’s never acknowledged and I don’t get why.
i haven't laughed this hard in a long time ahahaha yvette is amazing .
Please make this guest host permanent, I love her!
I wonder if she identifies as Asian too.
Yeah I was wondering that too lol 😂 because me being blasian I've always claim my black side but been a little hesitant to claim my Asian side because I grew up with my mom (who is black ) so that's all I've ever known
Being raised by a single Indian mother, I would assume yes.
@T Y Then Obama is not black either?

I have this issue all the time. I am from the Dominican Republic, I lived there until I was seven years old. My parents both were born in the Dominican Republic. Because I am very light skinned with blue eyes, everyone questions my race. It can get really annoying because Dominican people come in ALL COLORS. If you come to see my family we are all shades of light to dark!
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC IS NOT A RACE. IT IS A NATIONALITY.
I totally agree with you. I'm 🇵🇷 and 🇩🇴. My sister is very light, and I'm light brown. Dominicans and puerto ricans come in all different colors.
The beauty of Hispanic/Latin people is the diversity in us. Unfortunately, we are not classed as our own race. Instead we're seen as an ethnic group of either African, European, it Asian. Go figure!
@@chrissypacheco9635 It is because Hispanic/Latin are languages of different ethnicities and cultures. There is no difference in races. Race is used to set social systems, not describe culture.

Wish Tamera was there.
Loni hates her 😂
I agree with Loni, it’s about compatibility and not because we don’t appreciate our own race. My husband is a proud black man that loves his people and I’m a proud Latina who wouldn’t change it for anything but when we met it just so happened we connected and fell In love. Our families are one whole family now
Is there a segment where Loni doesnt mention shes with a white man /??
Lara well how is she supposed to answer the question? People do question her blackness because of her relationship and that’s the topic
I am so sick of her using this as her platform
Stop hating.
Obi Wanobi exactly 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽
This bitch got has self hate, and constantly saying she dates a white man makes her feel empowered
I never have agreed with the cultural stigma "black". How people forgot the term was errected to separate, and degrade people of color. So honestly I am actually "brown". I feel some kinda way about it.
get that brown! Im Nigerian but first generation in America, I always tell people Im african and that's how I identify but I like saying "brown" and I understand what you're saying. "brown" is tricky because then you're just saying another color but at least if "brown" has an uplifting connotation it may be better than the original connotation of "black". I think we should use what makes us comfortable and explain it to people to get others more aware (that's what I do with my white boyfriend, I think it's very important to have these kinds of talks)
America had so much segregation, it's ridiculoussssssssssssss
Another one in the books for LONI LOVE!
Powerful words 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💣💣💣💣🔥💣🔥💣
She's not black though. She's mixed🤦♀️
So because she’s mixed she can’t identify as black? 🤨
@@CB12389 doesn't matter what she identify as, she looks mixed, not black. And genetically she is not black, she mixed and that's a fact.
Exactly. Kamala's father wasn't even black. He was a multiracial Jamaican man. Kamala is probably only about 15 percent black.
sweet pea J there are very few pure “black” people in this country. Most of us have other DNA in us. She may be blacker than you.
And yet black folks jumped down Tamera’s throat for marrying a white man.. and she’s mixed too. But if she or Obama or Alicia Keys or J Cole didn’t identify as black, there would be an uproar even though they’re all biracial. You can’t have it both ways.
I feel so bad that people are trying hard to discredit her in any way they can. Im not saying I think shes the perfect candidate but shes very qualified! The rumors of her “horrible prosecutor past” are JUST THAT rumors. She had a job to do. It doesn’t matter what color the people she sent to prison are. It matters that there criminals. Period. This is coming from someone who grew up in sf, the area in which she was a prosecutor. I just wish more people had there own mind and didn’t just hop on hate trains because its trendy or fun

Glenn CoCo And another thing that's so sad is that people are forgetting how horrible our president is and how his lies are becoming more "acceptable" but they wanna criticize Kamala in comparison? At least give her a chance!
S Wiggins girl, you just sent me an OPINION based article that starts with “I was chillin at my potna house” 😂😂😂 YOUR DISMISSED MAM.
black gay antifa who is this “real progressive” you speak of? Pls let us know? If there ISNT one, WHO TF ARE WE VOTING FOR!? And if your definition of “progressive” only involves black people, id rather not engage in this conversation with you as you are ignorant to the rest of the world.
I'm 🇵🇷 and my husband is 🇯🇵. Love wins every time!
I am East African, Somali to be specific. People tend to tell us we’re not black enough. I’ve never understood. I’m black and I love it❤️
This is so weird to me...
I'm Brazilian, and I only came to realize I was "biracial" at 19 when I started to watch american videos to improve in the language...
And it was beacuse everything was about race, even in the beauty channels... It was the first time in my whole life that I heard things like: "This is so white", or "black people do this" and "white people do that", and this is so strange to me...
Everytime I come across this topic on american videos, I have so many questions... I just wish someone would explain to me a little about american culture and why is so divided...
I am from Croatia , Europe and believe me it is weird to me too....because we don't use terms like those you mentioned and we have some multicultural countries on this beautiful continent.
This is a issue that really only the US has. ( although racism exists everywhere, but there is no nation on this planet that is sooooo focused on race like them)
exactly it's very sad, but you can look at our country's melting pot/history/slave trade in America/Ellis Island immigrants/etc and no other country has diversity like this, so clearly that is why but I really appreciate your question and I liked that you were wondering about this, you asked a very intelligent question but I think it traces back to America's history and the fact that no other country has this immense diversity in one condensed area, so imagine if you woke up in Brazil and most neighborhoods were filled with Italian Americans, Black Americans, Africans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Indian Americans etc then you would be waking up in America a literal melting pot of every single ethnicity that is too many to name. I also think social media has a huge influence of the whole "this is so white" "this is so black", because that is comprised of false standards of beauty and stereotypes that we get from our parents/communities that are passed down to generation to generation. That's why people always talk about kids being innocent and not "seeing race" because they have not been fully brainwashed by their parents or community about the false standards of beauty. Im sure someone may have a better answer because this is a hard question that people can write papers about
I get you girl I m from Dominican Republic and no one cares here my boyfriend is black and I m white and it is normal no one adresses our race at all must be a problem in the USA .

I hope I'm not being inconvinient.

She was a Former Prosecutor aka a Fed, Narc, Snitch etc.
She also had the privilege of being the first person to ever hear demo tapes from Tupac and Snoop 5-7 years prior to anyone within the record industry.
Lol.
Yvette speaking the truth! I felt that! I was crackin up!
Yes Yvette, say that girl! I don’t wanna hear it! 💯
Ayyyy I didn’t know Yvette Nicole Brown was my soror! 💕🐸
Cool
The Real is so cringe wtf😂🙈
Joe Rose I blame Loni
Sam Or Sammie same lol and ppl clap and laugh at everything that woman says like she’s really spitting truth... girl byeeeee🙄
You are cringe
This is the most realist the real session ever !!!
even if what she said WERE taken out of context...she was most definitely pandering and she has never put black people as a priority. EVER.
Interesting that, when a black woman or man chooses different politics than the norm, people question that person's blackness... She should be able to claim blackness and not be questioned because she chose to exercise her right as an American to chose what political values she stands behind. Last time I checked, black leaders marched for black people to support whatever politics and opinions they believe in (no matter how right or wrong they believed such opinions to be).
Preach 💯
@ATL 1 🙄
I'm not. Voting for her no way no how..
Smoke It All no you may not..it’s her choice move along
Yes. But I’ve stopped arguing with ignorance
Literally what does it matter whether someone is black, white, Asian, Latino, whatever... As long as they're a good person, that's all anyone should be bothered about!
She went be getting my vote. You could not find a black man to be compatible with, BS.
Is 'ol girl black? YES. Is her lineage African American? Are her ancestors American descendants of slaves? NO. And THAT is what the argument is about. People are missing the mark! Latin people differentiate between Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, or Costa Rican (some examples) right? She's black but she ain't US us. lol
Well to be fair she is a descendant of slaves since black jamaicans didn't just spring from the ground🤷🏾♀️
Kiere Espinoza
Her mother is Indian. Her father doesn’t even appear to be fully black. She probably got the little bit of melanin she has from her nonblack mother lol
True lol
Kiere Espinoza Right because slavery only existed in America and all blacks in Latin America weren’t enslaved for longer periods of time by the Portuguese and Spaniards, smh pick up a book before you start outing yourself as a fool
@@rustyshackleford4076 never said they weren't. At least I know HOW to read things in CONTEXT.
Kamala Harris is black, but why does she not also acknowledge her Indian heritage?
She got my vote
