Mariah looks so nervous in this interview but she brave it out!
She’s nervous because she never identified as black
@@camilleespy7395 You need old clips??? I could show you.
@Journeyto159 She’s actually identified as Black.
@@camilleespy7395 wrong essence magazine “americas most misunderstood black women”
@@camilleespy7395 she has..
I'm fully black and I have always loved Mariah I wouldn't care if she was purple. I been a big fan since she came on the scene in the early 90s . ❤️
@nayong6764 her voice is the most important thing
This gave me a whole new respect for Mariah. Seriously. This is the REAL MARIAH. She's so strong. This woman been through so much. I'm excited for the book. Her songs are gonna hit differently now because now we know the real story behind some of them. This woman will forever be a gem.
Her mother is Caucasian/Irish-American and her father is Black of Black-American and Afro-Venezuelan families she’s said this so many times
Has this been confirmed that the quarter Venezuelan side is "Afro-Venezuelan" cause she is very light skinned I am guessing the Quarter Venezuelan ancestry "if black" was already biracial exotical extremely light skinned "black" who identify as afro-Venezuelan
@@hellohola6198Her father is Black American And Afro Venezuelan. Why does it matter to you so much. Black is a color, it doesn’t define human beings. People of African descent come in many shades and features and has very good genetics being the most diverse people on the planet. Your brain is limited. Educate yourself on how genetics work and then maybe you can answer your own question. Mariah has said that her father is Black many times and that her grandmother is Afro Venezuelan.
@@hellohola6198 As a light skinned biracial person myself, your comment is offensive and ignorant. Yes her father is AFRO-Venezuelan. She’s light skinned because her mother is white, duh. My mother is white and my father is black and AFRO-Dominican. And I’m just as light as Mariah. Goodbye.
I applaud MC for mentioning her rejection from her “black side”. Us biracial ppl can never be black enough nor white enough to ever really fit in. Just because we don’t look Black/White doesn’t mean our voice shouldn’t be heard. It really upsets me when I see regular people claiming very famous biracial ppl (that they 100% belong in their community) once they’re famous, when they were rejected by the same community before their fame.
Thanks for your honesty.
It's funny you went straight to Black people rejecting her when she stated she was jumped by a bunch of white girls. Not once did Mariah mentioned being physically attacked by black people. Mariah stated she was raised by her white Mother meaning she dealt with racism mostly from her white peers. Collectively speaking, most biracials are accepted more from the black side than the white side. History can back this up.
@@Shinemodel Omgosh I know what it’s like not to fit in on EITHER SIDE. Many ppl have heard about how white ppl respond to biracial ppl, but we don’t hear about how the black side treats us. I was beaten up by at least 6 little black girls in my childhood because I had “better hair” than them. They pulled my hair and told me I was wearing a weave. Your response is exactly why ppl like me find It really hard to open up about not being accepted in the black community.
@@Shinemodel I am not choosing sides and I am not saying one is worse than the other. I’m simply speaking my truth from my experiences and observations. Every culture has it’s good & bad. Just listen instead of getting all defensive.
@@Shinemodel that might be partially true, but we are not 100% considered as one of you depending on how black/white we look. I know because I’ve been there.
Everybody deserves to be happy. Mariah Carey does too.
The story of most biracial children unless the mother is Black you will hear this story over and over again and you see it as well. That puff on the top of their heads or hair all over the place. I give Kim Kardashian credit she took herself to a hairstylist and learned to do their hair. People love the upside of things but don’t want to admit the downside of them. Doja Cat has said the same things as well.
Very true! Those babies walk around looking CRAZY because mom is clueless! Mariah was made to look that way ON PURPOSE and I’m glad her daughter won’t have to go through that👊🏿 These chicks now don’t have an excuse but being idiots because there are resources! You can go online for everything but ideas for caring for your baby’s hair❓I would die before having a mixed baby with neglected hair (as beautiful as hers)😩😩WTF❓She’s always said everyone was clueless to her hair and she was never really maintained💔
True. It helps when the white mother is immersed in the black culture and have friends and family who help them with styling. But many of them are clueless.
John Edwards she’s talking about curly hair and we are discussing those who do have curly hair .
John Edwards Of course! The thing is, I’m not gonna treat my baby’s hair like some door mat to just be ignored either! She’s always said “nobody could do my hair” and I can’t imagine because her hair has always been dreamy to me, but that shit is universal! Her baby would never be made to walk around looking like shit👊🏿
Most biracial people have type 3 hair so it’s okay to not style it it’s just curls everywhere as it should be
She's not 50, she's 12
One of the last true Living Legends, I cannot describe how much I love, adore and appreciate Mariah...she deserves to be loved and protected at all costs
True. She is one of the very few last divas
Mariah: Im a human being first & foremost 💯🦋💙
Right on! 😎👍
Yes. That’s the way I wish we were looked at. But sigh!
Exactly
True!!!
The transition noise really isn't needed when it swipes
The people that hated her for looking unusual as a little girl are absolutely ridiculous. She’s beautiful.
I love Queen Mariah so freaking much!
She's a blessing from God for the world, for those who feel all the songs she sings, she writes, she creates... For those who feel never fit in, for those, ugh.. You know who..
I'm beyond grateful for her existence. Thank God! I can't imagine how it all would be without her in this world..
Man time flies! I met her in person back in '91, she was signing autographs in a record store near Broadway in NYC. Can't believe she's 50 already.
That singing is on RUclips btw now
Is she tall and pretty like on cameras ?
Some white people need to learn how to do black children’s hair when they have black kids. Educate yourself on it like you do everything else
They have mixed kids not black kids
@@ms3173 mixed isn't a race
@@ilomilo1387 I don’t get why people say that lol. No one said mixed was a race.
@@ms3173 yeah but they still need to learn how to do their hair
@Athena Mon Amour Mixed kids don't all look the same plenty of mixed black and white kids I know have my nappy hair LOL 🤪😒.
She’s 50??? Damn girl ages WELL
@Hol M hahaha facts
@ZiZi Bb and---
@ZiZi Bblike every celebrity, idk what the point and your comment about the botox was because
@ZiZi Bb you don't have to be a multi millionaire to get some botox. And still, pointing out that she may or may not have gotten botox does nothing positive so please...
Many woman are also getting fillers ( not Botox) to inflate their face when volume is lost. It’s not shameful but can be noticeable. Sometimes it looks like the face is filled up like a balloon.
I have not bought a book in a long time but I will be buying this one. Love Mariah!
I’m annoyed that Oprah got a copy of that book before everyone else...like that’s not fair... I want the damn book already myself
@JoMoe G. pretty sure they're joking lol
Aside from the music, I relate to Mariah because I, too am biracial and light skinned. My mother is white and my father is Afro-Caribbean (Bajan and Afro-Dominican). Mariah was the first person I saw that was also black and white and light skinned. I definitely relate to her struggles being biracial.

The fact that Lambs getting younger because her vocal agility is superb .. No one could deny they didn't sing on her songs everyone loved it and inspired to be somehow closer to that range.. Because Queen MC is the standard and GOAT ..❤
Mariah is so beautiful 🌸💕
I look forward to her book and checking out this one on one interview. 💜 Love Mariah and always will....✨
50? Black don't crack.....
of coz black queen don't crack👸
I love you Mariah and always did I am Jersey girl I get you!
Never sensed anything wrong with her hair in my opinion! Her natural curls are always amazing! I love Mariah when she goes out all natural she shows her true person that is nothing to be ashamed about! To me being able to show your vulnerabilities is the most bravest thing you could ever do. It shows strength and determination and this woman shows strength she is a real woman!!!
It’s moreso about the hate she would get because of her hair texture as a mixed race child.
Yeah, nowadays it’s a “natural” looking weave/wig.
@@mellimel1174 she doesn't wear a wig
@@faithoffaith weaves
Me either it’s funny I’m Puerto Rican and plenty of Puerto Rican girls have her hair the curls and thick hair is natural for me to see . Not sure what was the big deal on Long Island with her growing up
“Matted unruly hair that was not behaving” 😕 the way we describe anything mixed with Black is terrible.
Yeah. In this case I think it points more to the neglect of care from her mom.
Nothing wrong with curls but her point is they need to be maintained. Many white moms especially back in the day didn’t know to use conditioner so the hair could be brushed properly.
Agreed but a white mother really is don’t what to do
Yeah I wish she had a new name to describe her gsir
That hair was never nappy or kinky in the Afro sense of the words. That is on the loose end of the spectrum. I could see if it were like Morrocans hair ( tighter curls).
It was 1991 in Italy, my brother knew I like high notes and stuff so he gave me a mariah carey musicassette and I was like: is she doing that whistles with her voice??? Here I am 30 years later 😆 she basically made the soundtrack of my life. Not to mention Christmas 🎄

I love her ! As a “biracial” child I felt like an abomination … but watching Mariah Carey made me feel better..

indepth interview. love it
Sometimes people look at you and believe that everything in life is okay with you because you have the world at your fingertips when reality your life is really hard and there's just so much trauma from the past
YES
She still looks white and there’s even white people who got curly hair so what’s the point??
She’s white. She’s only a quarter black. She needs to be honest with herself and just say she is white.

Oprah is the ultimate professional. RELAX U WILL BE OKAY Ms.Cannon.
*Ms. Carey
Cannon? It’s Carey they’re divorced and she still kept Carey during the marriage
I’m the same mix as her and dealt with the same struggles in society🥺🥺🥺
Why do they talk about their curly hair and being ashamed by it, then straighten it and get it more caucasian looking and say how proud they are of their mixed heritage? Make it make sense! Besides, she's more caucasian looking than mixed. Her hair wasn't even that curly!
TheMCW I don’t think she does anything for straightening her hair. She blow dried it just like any 💯 straight hair people do which aren’t just the Caucasians. Sometimes I feel that the US is such a complicated country, where most are living in their own bubbles, with own vocabularies, and foreigners don’t understand the language.! The Europeans don’t understand it either! They are mostly Whites.
She’s a white woman with mixed heritage. Fed up of all these white passers pretending they have the same issues as black people especially black women
She's not white. Her father is a black man
@@RTDavis0503 shut up he’s biracial at best
@@i.i1215 Mariah is more biracial than her father, Alfred is like 99% a Black man. Yall only try to debate 'cus he's from Venezuela & don't even know what afro-venezuelans actually look like. AND y'all forget Venezuelan isn't a race.
Her father is completely black but go off I guess.
Exactly. She looks white. She is white.

Great video! I love Mariah Carey period!!! I'm ready to get the book. Thank you Queen for sharing your gift in music because you've INSPIRED your fans throughout the years. #TeamLambily

I does because alot of white mother's of Biracial kids especially girls don't know how to maintain their hair
Shes one of the celebrities who doesn't make a big deal about her race. She makes music
Mariah doesn’t look black at all
Maybe her Irish side is strong
Everyone is biracial if you go back far enough ...get over the race BS
Nothing is wrong being biracial. It's very sad to judge your mom. If someone showed your mom. I have black in me.
Her mom called the cops on her, so save that bull for people who actually hate Mariah.
@@musicworldnow365 why did her mom do that?
@@melsmith2669 Because her mom is a jealous witch.
Rhonda Sicheri Ok, children should learn how to speak-up and this is very overlooked by society. Respect should come both ways, it should be mutual, but Mariah didn’t get that. She is very strong for going against and challenging her mom’s ideals and ways. Children get mentally and emotionally suffocated because if we ever so talk-back to our parents, we are disrespectful, despite being the ones at times who actually are more logical and correct.
To everyone visiting the comment section: there were only 4 black (fully/partially black) legends ever who rose to global superstardom: Michael, Mariah, Prince, Whitney. THREE are GONE.
Beyonce
@@DemoCoverUploader Beyonce and Rihanna need to go a long way before being referred to in the same lane as these four.
@@philipcohen267 Beyonce already reached her legendary status. In 10 years maybe Rhianna too. She's now an international business woman tho
@@DemoCoverUploader Don't get me wrong, Beyonce is a legend, undoubtedly. But Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey status? No. Beyonce is hugely talented but has also much lesser global sales figures than these 4. So its a no for me.
Yeah, let's pretend like Tina Turner doesn't exist.
In my book she's way more successful than Mariah. Plus Mariah is just part black not even half. Her dad is mixed.
I love that Mariah looks a bit nervous on this interview. It’s like watching 90s Mariah! Love it.
i wish she wore her natural curls. they were so pretty
I would love to purchase MC memoir
I always wonder why they don’t ever talk about that Mariah is has Latino roots and her real name is Mariah Nunez. Look it up. Her father is Afro-Latino and her grandfather change his last name from Nunez to Carey when he got from Venezuela to America . Many many many Latin people in the Americas are multi- racial or bi- racial , or basically we are a mixed people Mariah needs to remember that. Yes Mariah. We all know your background story just don’t forget your roots
Bc she’s not. Her dads dad was but her dads mom is African American. He was a black man who grew up in America which makes him African American
Her roots are black goodbye
50????????? mama looks GOOD
Love her ❤️
She’s multiracial not biracial
She’s more than 2 races
Venezuelan isn't a race
@@michaelt.2308 Venezuelan is a nationality
You can be any “race” and be from any country.
A lot of people of African descent have European dna as well so if that’s the case they should be considered mixed as well.
Hispanic is definitely a “race” it’s not only a culture.
Mariah Carey thinks she is half black and half white. But she definitely has more European dna than African dna - and some of that European dna is from her father who is “black”

Yes!!! Being biracial is about so much more than hair and features!!!! I think in her situation, external factors made her insecure more than who she was/is. Many of us with multi heritages feel great about themselves and that self esteem was nurtured at an early age.
