Misty is Paying it Forward...love her!
Am greatful for this interview , a hero in her rights . This just the beginning
Dear Misty Copland. Thanks. Your work is inspiring. My are so proud of you! Your contribution is incomparable.
I love that I can see myself and my color in Misty. I'm hispanic and I never say a brown dancer and it discouraged me, but seeing Misty Copeland make me have hope that I can be seen & shine. Thank you Misty!
How beautifully written 🖤
She is just absolutely gorgeous inside and out
Except for her obsession with race and skin colour.
As a black ballet dancer I am very proud of you. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks..
LOVE this so very much!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful interview!!! I will be sharing this with my ballet students - what an important message!!
I am seeing this several years after it’s production but it is yet so inspirational for every person. Respect, dignity, high ideals, and love care and concern expressed for all people is what is necessary for a solid foundation in society. Thank you to both of you for your much appreciated and cherished words of wisdom, too many times lacking in this current fast paced hectic world in which we live.
Peace & Love 💕
Perfect interview! Carol Jenkins and Misty rock!
What an inspiration Misty Copeland. God bless you
Glorious Misty Copland. Glorious. Divine.
Lovely interview.
so proud ....
I'm so proud of her 😁💯😍
Beautiful!!!!!!!!
She's a gift from God.....truly amazing!
You can change the world through your own individual progress and acomplishments, sometimes just by touching others. However black excellence must also come hand in hand with one's political awareness and education to be truly balanced. At least she does not speak negatively on the black population as other celebrities have done.
Oh shit I was crying before the interview started.
I know I'm late to the party but as a black LGBT actor, whenever I'm on the stage I feel the same urgency and perseverance that Misty does because theatre is so behind on diversity and representation, to the point that it doesn't matter how much pain I have to go through as long as I can see black lgbt kids in the audience and think to themselves that "It IS possible!". That is what makes it all worth it for me.
Black and blue takes on a whole new meaning to me
To the uneducated:
You don't have to be dark skinned or straight out of Africa to be black or more specifically African American. Saying she's black is not saying she's "not mixed" or "just black" it's saying she has some African ancestry. Mixed is not a race, two mixed people aren't even necessarily the same race; one could be Indian and Japanese and the other could be white and native American... you have to be a mixture of something... I'm a "mixed" black person and I am no more or less black than any other black person who doesn't know of any mixed heritage. I am not "just" African decent obviously, but it's not incorrect to say that I have African ancestry
Nearly all African Americans have mixed ancestry, that's what a black/African American is. There is almost no "pure" African decent.
Greg B Race is simply a socio-political term invented by the original white supremacists (aka Western European enslavers) to rationalize their continual enslavement of Africans and theft of indigenous people's lands. African and indigenous people weren't even really considered human beings and they were placed at the bottom of the socio-political latter and of course the Western European enslavers placed themselves on top. Notice how the "in group" always does the classification of the "out group." As Fanon, a psychiatrist of African descent stated: White and black people came into existence at the moment of imperial conquest. Neither exists without each other. White depends on its stability of the negation of black.
001islandprincess Well preach!! Go on with yo intellectual self!!
Yessss ❤️ school these ignorant & classless people!
Bravo!! Some people are willfully ignorant I think.
There’s no “pure” anything anymore.
That’s why the term “biracial” exists, it usually implies one black parentage.
U r perfy 🌷
What was that girl the the other building doing 😂
😂😂 I was so distracted watching her too girl (& laughing my butt off)!! Surely that was just warm ups right?! 😳🤣🤦🏽♀️🤷🏻♀️
Like owweeeww!!!!
Misty Copeland is NOT black she is (Mixed Race).
Spirit World According to Ancestry.com, the average African American is 65 percent sub-Saharan African, 29 percent European and 2 percent Native American.. due to slavery majority of us are mixed, we have to mindful to celebrate our accomplishments and not demean each other.
+Kimberly McDonald Lol yeah, but Misty's parents are both half-White and half-Black (thus she is half-white or even more than half-white according to your logic of race-mixing). So she's not like "most other African-Americans". And how is the person above demeaning? She/he is simply telling the truth that this girl is biracial.
Jackie P You don't have to be dark skinned or straight out of Africa to be black or more specifically African American. Saying she's black is not saying she's "not mixed" or "just black" it's saying she has some African ancestry. Mixed is not a race, two mixed people aren't even necessarily the same race; one could be Indian and Japanese and the other could be white and native American... you have to be a mixture of something... I'm a "mixed" black person and I am no more or less black than any other black person who doesn't know of any mixed heritage. I am not "just" African decent obviously, but it's not incorrect to say that I have African ancestry
Stop complicating it. In the "real" world that is not America. She is mixed race. Take ownership of your heritage. It's completely dismissing her European side, she is both. That's a blessing.
You see what I mean about over complicating things? Didn't need an essay.
