The Korean woman didn't want to pretend to be something she's not, even if it meant that she would lose. You really gotta respect that! She seems like a great person.
I felt so sad for EJ getting voted out. Story of my life has been being told that i’m trying to “act white” or i’m not black enough so it was really sad to see that that was her experience too in a room full of black women
raw truth!!! needs to be talked about more but I can't speak on that even as a bm I will get told to mind my business 💀just know that you are loved and not alone and that it's okay to exist as you are 💟!
I can relate as well! Always being told you're "too white" or "too black" as a child can really mess with your perspective on a lot of things. Not knowing where you really fit in sucks 😕
Seriously same, I always told your white washed. And most racist comments from black peoples because I wasn’t “black enough” and saying it’s a shame I grew up around white people 😢
i love how michelle shared that despite the fact she was raised by a black family and had black friends, she couldn't ever pretend to know what the black woman's experience is. gotta respect that!
Actually underrated. People like her deserve respect for not pretending that they know what it's like looking different, being honest, realizing the fact. She's intelligent and was raised well. Respect where respect is due.
@@DD-rh2sz Everybody is a victim of something and has their struggles. You don't seem to know or even want to try to put yourself into someone else's shoes, even imagine what it's like to be someone who isn't you. You must be either lucky, or a sociopath. But unaware at that either way. Racism isn't a fairy tale, lol. You just make yourself look ignorant, all by yourself.
Love to see it. I was thinking of the reason why Michelle stayed true in this video compared to the 6 white vs. 1 Black competitor video when the Black competitor decided to get petty. With the exception of 1 white competitor, everyone else fed into some sort of negative stereotype and she felt disrespected, so she played dirty-and won. Respect is the key in competitions like this.
As a black woman the only thing i dislike is them creating a "customer service" voice. Black women aren't a monolith we all don't sound and speak the same way. Some black women naturally speak with the "customer service" sounding voice.
She’s talking about code switching. Being able to speak colloquially and knowing we’ve had to switch it up because it’s not deemed respectable in corporate America. So we switch it up and do the customer service voice to be more accepted.
Reminds me of the time one of my best friends who is Cambodian told our Black friend that they should switch voices since the black friend speaks proper and the other friend is hood. I just kept 🤐
@@MsCutie2 that’s the issue black people need to stop saying we. Do you know that there were free educated black Americans what lived up north who naturally spoke properly many of them never had to change their way of speaking to fit in it’s how they naturally speak. There are many “black people “ who don’t code switch to fit in many of them naturally sound educated.
@@Themystergamerr not really a victorious win. She just wasn't allowed to insinuate that she's black and went through the same struggles as black people. When the men did this, they never really talked about themselves. Just their experiences.
@@iabaca It wasn't a loaded question lmfao. It was very direct and one of the best questions they could ask. At the end of the day if you're not Black you cannot relate to the experience of being Black and it's easy to tell. It's why it's so easy for us to tell even when someone is pretending to be Black online (And yes that happens A LOT).
This is my personal opinion but…the minimization of your “blackness or black experience” based on sounding “white” really caused me to have a hard time accepting myself as a black women… black women are unique and diverse and that shouldn’t take away from who we are…you are black enough.
Yes! I felt bad because they were singling out the mixed girl and the black girl that “sounded white.” It just comes off as super ignorant to me. But I liked this episode a lot more than the black men one.
It’s ok to not sound stereotypically black. Let’s free ourselves from these limiting beliefs and be open for more diversity amongst ourselves. So many people have limited themselves b/c of the fear of being outcasted and not accepted
What if they put together these distant siblings that came from different baby mamas and they never seen each other and they try to guss who's the sibling and who's odd one out? But can't say father's name or it will reveal ig
As a black woman who also grew up in a mostly white area I know exactly how EJ felt and how she mustve felt when her blackness was judged... I wouldve prolly gotten voted off too lol
nah same lmaooo my natural voice sounds like a code switch voice so i feel like that alone would being a lot of mistrust… it’s so silly and unfair but there’s still a lot of biases and judgement in the black community
It's Cindy Wilson, Korean adoptee raised in a Black Family all her life, folks:) Her Book (title on her shirt) is a very interesting read:) She's not fake or a wannabee, she took on the characristics of her environment and doesn't hide the fact that she's Korean but culturally or socially she's was raised among Mississippi Black folk. And she went to an Black College.
Like deep down I know she was probably trying to say “African Descendant of Slavery” but she was put on the spot and couldn’t find the words, and the result was tragic lmao
I think the sad part is they voted out the black girl who specifically said she was dark-skinned and spoke in detail about her black experience. It just makes me think of how our battles are sometimes within our own community. Was it a joke to vote her out because she didn’t sound black or act black enough. There is so much room for conversation here with that vote
exactly!!! it’s actually pretty wild that it was brushed over! i can’t fully say it’s bc she was dark skinned bc they were all blind folded but i’m pretty sure that kiddest would have been second boot if she didn’t sort of cheat and out the fact she was biracial. however i feel for EJ and i think she’s amazing and that her journey as a black i woman is still valid and relatable to most, i really wish that black women can understand that not everyone is going to be a stereotype, and not every black person is going have the same black experience
Nah, sorry but there’s absolutely ‘disrespectful’ or wrong with lying or pretending to be something you’re not (black) when the whole game is LITERALLY PRETEND TO BE BLACK.
I agree, I think the game would’ve been longer if they were not allowed to use “I am black” because obviously the mole isn’t so of course she’s not going to say it out of respect.just a thought.
Black women took me in and protected me when I was coming out of the closet in a Midwestern suburb (Indianapolis, shout-out!). I’ll forever stand up for black women just like they always have for me! ❤
@@Whoisfatboy1 not everything, since the video is about guessing which person isn't black, but it somewhat has something to do with the video since black women were mentioned.
I've never seen a mole removed so quickly and only one more elimination round after. Usually they eliminate like 3-4 people total. They did so well but yeah Michelle's answer to the black experience over time was way too general so it was pretty obvious. But this was so fun to watch!
I think it’s interesting when you compare the types of questions the black women asked versus the black men. The black men, I feel, focused more on stereotypical black things like growing up in the hood etc. whereas the black women focused on things, only phenotypically black people, would understand like hair.
Tbh, I don't think they would. These answers would go over my head too😭 But if you watch the video back, notice that Kiddest didn't answer a lot of the culture questions and she wasn't voted out
@@barak4356 She also kinda cheated cuz she said she was biracial and gave both her parents races. The whole point was to guess but she revealed her identity
This was a really fun show. I feel like this might have been one of the most on-point group of non-Moles ever. These women were on their game from the start. Plus the general vibe was just so healthy.
I loved all the ladies here and I identify so much with EJ, I’m constantly called an Oreo and a coconut because of the way I talk, my voice and doing “white woman” activities 💀💀💀 I wish I could be friends with all of them. What a vibe!
@@bbang09 lol well why is everyone praising her for being so honest during a game called "the mole". People are so sensitive these days that they would take offense if she actually pretended to be black in a game where everyone is supposed to find the non-black person
It was kind of clear that most felt the first person was the mole, they alluded to feeling like they voted the “pretender” out, but, also had no choice but to continue with the game at that point because they weren’t given an out after the first round. Was only asked if they wanted to continue after the 2nd. EJ was just a casualty, unfortunately. It was nothing personal, they knew she was black.
Exactly! Strictly because of her voice is wild, but it does say something about how much weight that carries with regards to what we believe it means to be "truly black"
@@oldssierraThis is true. Most people would say I have a "white" voice. I've been teased a lot about it. I grew up around majority black and brown people in soflo and my family is Jamaican, but I ended up having this voice. It is just how we sound sometimes, doesn't make us any less black.
I really relate to EJ! 😭😭😭😭 We have the same story! And hearing her story about being a dark skinned woman being in a white area made me tear up! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@EpicFandomVogue Do you have difficulties realizing that witnessing grown adults speak regular English shouldn't be recognized as "articulate" as it sounds patronizing, and offensive? You speak that way to a child, not to grown adults.
When they started singing “we’re brothers, we’re happy and we’re singing and we’re colored”, I started singing too!! Wayan’s bros is my show!!! 🤣🤣🤣🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I tend to think she didn't lie or anything, i think she WAS telling her story as an Asian. She just had to tread carefully and not accidentally say the wrong things!
@@TheMystique231why did she apply to be casted as the mole if she didn’t want to be misrepresented, that’s the whole point of being the mole is to trick the others.
@@candysweet434 she was adopted by an all black family, but I guess when you’re actually there it’s difficult to lie about something so personal to people?
I was expecting the Asian lady to get picked out straight away. Women are more socially tuned to notice things like this. And women also pass on the culture of each generation so are experts more so than the guys 😂
Why didn’t they ask if they wanted to end the round in round 2. I feel like that adds more of a chance for everyone to have free range of thought before just moving on the the next round. I lowkey feel bad for EJ cause of how the rounds transitioned
The same way we can pick up on discrimination and racism is the same way we can tell if somebody’s black or not it’s a unexplainable energy vibe that most people that aren’t black will not understand
Those kind of videos that makes me feel depressed as I deeply feel that I am not where I am supposed to be. Afro-americans women are so smart, real and transparent. As an african woman who grew up in Europe I truly admire them and I wish I was born in the USA, I am pretty sure that I would have a great life full of joy and genuine moments, surrounded py people who would understand me, my choices, my standards, my interests and my aspiration in life as a black woman. I am really sad but that’s ok. Keep up the energy sistas ❤ I love you all ❤
Sister no matter where you are in this world you are a BLACK WOMAN. You are not separate from us African American women. You will be treated as a black woman no matter what accent you have or what land you were born on. Our pride as black women transcends all barriers. Our melanin of different shades unites us all over the world ❤ You are welcomed in the USA
I am from the Netherlands. It's so different compared to the US. But we still have our little communities here. Where we fully celebrate and enjoy our blackness 🥰. Where are you from?
12:20 Adrianne miming that Color Purple scene is SENDING ME!!! 🤣 She is hilarious! Not gonna lie, I was pretty disappointed when the Black men failed to vote out the mole in their episode, so it was extra gratifying seeing the sistas get it done so quickly! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The not black guy grew up with a black mom in a black neighborhood, so his experiences and reflections were closer to the other men. Michelle let on that she was a bit different to a typical black woman.
@@SantomPh Someone pointed out that Michelle's real name is Cindy Wilson- she was raised by a Black family, raised in Jackson, Mississippi, went to an HBCU, and wrote a book about it (Too much Soul). So she did also have a lot of Black exposure and experiences, similar to how you describe the White guy.
@@SantomPh not just grew up, he was adopted at 7 weeks after being abandoned by his mom all he knows is black people. Only met his biological mother in adulthood. But truthfully its the cast they recruited that believed in stereotypes so he skated by just being from South Central.
Adrianne was such a vibe, I would love to be friends with her or someone like here. Her facial expressions had me laughing XD When they voted out EJ she felt so bad for her, which shows she is a genuine person! Then the way she complimented everyone after they took their blindfolds off.
The fact that they made EJ get out was craziest because she seemed more black then kiddest and her story made sense all the way lmao. There was nothing white about her except for her voice.
I think at that point, they just picked someone. They felt the first person voted out was the mole, but, wasn’t asked if they wanted to stop the game at that point and had to continue and choose someone. It was just easier to go with her, not that they felt she was white though.
Kiddest having an Ethiopian name carried her across the finish line. I think they all knew the first woman was the mole and just had to vote for somebody
Yep, this was the episode where I learned that I cannot play this if it's against who I am. Like if I got voted out I'd feel some type of way cause I'm BLACK! How you gonna vote me out!! lol The one from three years ago with Lisi was enjoyable to watch. I think getting voted out as a Black person hits different because of being told you act or talk white. It's seen as negative and can feel isolating. Love watching these!
@@en2p187 the sample sizes in these videos are far too small to make a generalization about a whole group. Another group of 6 black women and 6 black men could be the opposite. Let’s not use this to say black men lag behind in that category. Now if you’re just talking about the black men in that specific video lagging behind in that category, and not black men in general, then I don’t have a problem with it.
do this but with 2 black people from Mexico and somewhere else in the Americas maybe from DR or Columbia. that would definitely throw them off who’s “black” because of cultural differences 😅😂
@@frenchgirl5878 I know, but I’m just saying maybe she could’ve mentioned being a minority IF she was in her community and how she coped and accepted it
Feedback: For when the contestants are blindfolded, give them an audio cue to reveal if they won/ lost. Could be a sound like a checkmark, da-dink sound for a win and a buzzing sound for a loss. They would know immediately, purely on the audio cue and their reactions would be on par with the green light/ red light appearing. Have the lights for us viewers, but give the blindfolded contestants this additional cue please. Loved the video!
Adrianne reminds me of Toni from girlfriends lol and her customer service voice had me cracking up because that’s so me. No matter how much I try my blackness gon deep through my voice 😂😂😂
Would love to see the reverse of this with 6 Asians vs 1. America sometimes stereotypes Asian to mean east asian. So it would be really cool to see more diverse ethnic groups represented such as south asians, southeast asians, central, etc 😊 great episode!
Yeah especially since america literally only cares to promote black people 24/7 and claims it as being diverse. There are other races in the world too, not just the one that was "oppressed" due to slavery. Oh but I guess america forgot about Japanese internment camps.
i really love how much they talk about self-love, even though it must be such a journey and hard to achieve… like it’s something really important that i felt like i was positively exposed to in high school around majority black students compared to previous communities id been surrounded by
Now the casting of this is the best jubilee has done in a while, I need this crew to work on necter cuz idk what they're doing over there. But this episode was so real and authentic! ❤️💪
You know what could be a cool twist to this series: we can’t see them either. So it’s just audio until the big reveal and we can play along not knowing who the mole is.
I'm a black woman and I don't cook collard greens or use cocoa butter and I live in Oregon.. Buuuut African dad and white mom is not the same as an American black girl experience.
@@azizaaman4290African American is not the same as Ethiopian in America. We are Ethiopian and Oromo, Amhara, Tigray, Afar, Gurage etc first. They are American and only American. Their history and culture is not the same and its perfectly fine to acknowledge that. Even Afro Carribeans and Afro Latinos do not have the same culture and life experiences as African Americans but their ancestors came from the same Central and West African nations. We can celebrate being African diaspora and our similarities and differences.
As a black woman I really enjoyed this episode. The general harmony of the melanated queens, the Korean woman who was adopted by a black family and didn’t want to speak in first person, the biracial girl who touched on her experiences having a white mother and the black girl who’s constantly dealt with people calling her an Oreo/assuming she’s not a ‘real’ black woman (something I’ve dealt with growing up and still to this day!) - it was still really beautiful to witness this POC women lineup and the topics discussed.
I wish they didn't ask questions that were directly about Blackness, like asking about their relationship with it. Also the hair questions make it too obvious. But yeah the cooking types of questions were perfect 😅
@@tree9273 jubilee would need to get someone willing to flat out lie about their race and I don’t think many ppl are willing to do that on video. They should ban the question if they do something similar or else it’s a dead giveaway. Michelle didn’t want to be disrespectful, understandably so
@@tree9273 With other questions like what's their customer service voice, how do they make their greens or mac and cheese, what they eat at Thanksgiving, how do they sing Happy Birthday, what does their family wear to family reunions, what's their relationship with CP time, will they jump the broom at their wedding, etc. There are a lot of things that are usually specific to African-Americans, and if they're from somewhere else in the diaspora they can explain accordingly (e.g., maybe no Mac and cheese but instead egusi, roti, or oxtail).
