I like how you explain this! I was explaining to my fiancé how in the USA I’m considered black but in other countries I’m Indian. Im a dark skin multi generationally mixed person and it’s so hard to explain!
I appreciate your bravery I speaking up. And being unapologetic about your truth. Those commenters on your previous video had so much smoke. But under this video, 2 months later, they're still on hush mouth because they can't argue with the truth. MGM people are Black in America *only* due to the one drop rule. No one outside of America looks at MGMs and thinks “That's a Black person”. Your points in this video are exactly why Black people don't want MGMs to acknowledge and be outspokenly proud of being mixed. They want MGMs to stay in the place of sacrificing for the Black community, as it has been for centuries. I appreciate your channel because I recently learned that my mom's family are MGMs. Hearing your experiences are really helping me put things into perspective. Thank you so much for sharing your insight! ❤️💐
100% true. I think this will be something I touch on in my next video. So glad to hear this is helping you gain perspective. We have our own community now and its so refreshing! Welcome!
9:36 definitely true. I kinda felt bad about it but it’s the truth. I don’t resonate with full on black features and I don’t want to force myself to. I’d rather just keep it to my own phenotype but I don’t want to offend anyone.
I know an UAB man who (from the history I know about him) has a propensity to date only mixed and light skinned women. He complained to me that some of them told him he’d be a good husband but they don’t want to have kids with him bc they want their kids to look MGM like they do. He was deeply offended by this but I don’t feel it was wrong of her to say that. The only thing I can see is it may have indicated that he has internalized colorism and an inferiority complex.
@@LoverGirlsAnonymous that’s the thing I don’t get about Ian proplr and men. They’re offended when mgm people would prefer to be with their phenotype but they like to justify why they don’t like their own phenotype.and I believe this is another reason they one drop rule is because they want us to them. I have a biracial mom, a mixed grandfather and native grandparents on both sides but because my skin is a deeper brown there are black people who will attack me for preferring what actually matches me lol.
@@LoverGirlsAnonymous idk what happened to my other comment but: I believe this is why uab black people like to one drop rule us. Because when we prefer to be with our own, now they're "deeply offended" lol. I have a biracial mother and a mixed grandfather with native on both sides of my family. But I have a deeper skin tone. so if i say I prefer an MGM, I know some black people will call me self hating just because of my complexion. I know nothing about the experience of a person with full features and kinky hair. I have small plump-medium features and loose curly hair. Yes I would prefer to keep that in my bloodline because I want to be with what I relate to. There are black friends I had that get angry with me for dating other MGMs because they're lightskin. I get pursued by MGM's alot so whats the problem? lol.
