Rachael Malonson, who's father is black and mother is white, says she was heavily criticized on social media for her light complexion after winning the title.
She just said it in the interview.... her father is black and she is biracial. Biracial is not black. It’s biracial. I don’t agree with being rude, but let’s call a spade a spade. She’s not black. Stop making “biracial” a derogatory term... because it’s not.
@@Ultimate_316 I didn't mean it like that I don't know how old you are but growing up we always went by the one drop rule so right around the 80s I started noticing a lot of people were claiming biracial and it just made me feel that they were ashamed of their blackness because sometimes I have noticed while I was in school a lot of kids that were biracial were ashamed of their black parent whether that be a father or mother so I wasn't disparaging either race
@@Ultimate_316 no not a lot I've just known personally about three or four through the years of my life I'm 58 and they were ashamed of their black side
@@1FATBOY114 No, that doesn't mean it all. It's saying exactly what they are.... biracial. Two parents of different races would make you biracial. It needs to not be a derrogatory thing.
The problem as black women do not have their own space. A LOT of biracial women who look like her society paints this image on how black women r suppose to look. N that’s just not the case. Hell look at Rachel Dolezal. She considered herself as a black woman. When she was not. She was a causasian woman. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with her being mixed.But it’s something that’s needs to b worked on. Mixed women r not black women. 2 blk parents with full blk ancestry makes u blk. N I’m not talking abt your great great great great grandmother either.
Being Black & Biracial is not the samething. Often times Biracial women are casted as Black women, but when have you ever seen a dark Black woman casted as a biracial woman? Especially since there is such a thing as dark complexioned biracial women. Myself being one of them.
i think ppl think that being mixed literally means dilluted melanin, but just because one thing needs to change does not mean you need to talk down on progress in one pond
If the judges where black man of course that's what's a visually like and they prove it to us over and over and over again and that's just how it is and is accepted nobody says anything about it so was accepted but that's a slap in the face 2 African American women weather with light or dark that that is what black men see as attractive
@Tappy Toes I know most of us are not jealous it's the truth out there and when you see the truth then maybe you'll wake up no one at least I'm not jealous of her angry because that's what I want men see as beautiful when you have either straight hair long hair flowing hair and light skin it's a truth
I think people missed the point! The reason pageants just for Black women are held is because discrimination for not looking white enough in regular pageants is a real problem. Picking a woman who looks white is a slap in the face to many young Black women who live with Every Day discrimination and unfavorable stereotypes about Black women. The young lady who won can choose, she can choose if she wants to identify as Black and she will not be undergoing the same hatred that many Black women are inundated with. So it's not that she is undeserving of the win, but her win defeats the Point. We are just not there yet as a country!
Why should anyone like her continue to support these events knowing if they participate that they're not supposed to win? All Black people in America for the most part are Mixed. But people aren't mistreating us because we're mixed. It's because of our Black ancestry. You can't look and tell how mixed a person is. There are siblings with the same parents that look like night and day. What she is experiencing interracism/colorism. Due to phenotype we will all experience bigotry to varying degrees and in different ways but it doesn't mean we lose the capacity to care about one another. If a mixed person sees another Black person being mistreated should they ignore it because it's a "Black/Dark skinned" problem. Do you want allies or indifference in this struggle?
@zephyr she doesn't look black either. she has no black feature, no black hair, and certainly doesn't have African or your average black americans color. so truly how does she represent "black" women? her mother is white so she isn't going to have a black womans point of view either. she is not black
@@donaldfrierson743 You have to ask yourself this, if they had a Miss White contest. Would they have allowed her to compete. I find it weird how people can call mix people black, but you can't call them white for some reason.
@@donaldfrierson743 you're foolish if you believe that lie. Black usa women historically do not date outside our race. We give birth to the black ONLY category on the usa census. You should pull it up and study it before you lie.
There are black people who are mixed like us AfroAmericans and other groups around the world that are dark skinned and mixed. The Average AfroAmerican is majority African.
I'm biracial and look like this woman in terms of colour and features. I know my experience is not the same as a black woman and I wouldn't be in a black beauty contest I mean if you have to ask is she black she shouldn't be winning it.
Same here! If we look like this we shouldn't put ourselves forth as a representation of black women. We already have so much freaking privilege, just let UNAMBIGUOUSLY BLACK WOMEN shine and chill out
Full Dem To be black and from north or South America and say that you have no racial admixture is beyond stupid! It’s been proven that if you’ve been here for at least five generations or have slave ancestry then you have at least 15 percent or more Caucasian dna in you 🤷🏾♂️ Dictionary.com definition of biracial CONSISTING OF OR REPRESENTING TWO SEPARATE RACIAL GROUPS That means 75-80 percent black and 15 percent white is by scientific definition biracial blackdemographics.com/geography/african-american-dna/ Here link to study on African American dna that proves just about every African American has biracial genes African American dna and African dna or different does that make you not African by that Logic your not African you're mixed If you’re weren’t biracial your dna would show up as African American 99.9 percent West African but we all no that’s not the case It may be from over 100 years ago but it shows up in dna that makes u what biracial By that logic you not black either
Yea but if there was a Mexican /white mix or Mexican /black mix Asian black etc. .they would be accepted into there culture, darskins are just racist , it's sad
Why were so many saying Megan markle is black thenand saying how proud we are of having a black Woman as a royal? We can’t pick and choose who we think is black enough 🤦🏽♀️
I don't. Don't speak for all of us. Plenty of white people call her black too. Y'all swear only black people claim mixed people as black when white ad every other race labels you guys black
@DR Groce You should see something wrong with it. Especially when the biracial is non black passing. She robbed a beautiful dark, tightly curled hair black woman of that title. And she knew what she was doing. She knew due to colorism and featurism she would win. She had no chance in a white pageant because she can hardly pass for white. So she goes to the one community where she can be uplifted just for being biracial. And before you think of me as some bitter angry black woman I'm a black man saying this. I used to be the black man calling black women jealous of biracial women. Now I woke up!
@@coppercoloredman1040 Awesome because it's so true. l mean just turn on the TV, biracials are becoming the face of black women. That's the agenda anyway to get of the black race and who do you need to get rid off, the one person who produces the black offspring. l wish more black men would wake up to this.
I've always said I'm biracial when people ask what my race is. I've claimed both sides because my mom is white and my dad is black. I've never felt insecure about who I am, or questioned my race. Both sides of my family accept me as I am an tell me to embrace both sides of me. I hope one day everyone can feel the same way regardless of their skin color/race.
Biracial isn't a race and if somebody calls you black that doesn't mean they aren't getting your white half. You are with your parents are. You are a black person in America. You need to take it up with white people if you're white ... I promise you they're going to say no you're not but they'll definitely say you're a black person. That's what that means when someone says you're a black person Beyond just your parents being black. It doesn't mean people are ignoring your white family. But let's see if you get accepted into the Klu Klux Klan meeting as a white person
@@nikibronson133 people that are biracial or mixed raced don't consider ourselves this because we are trying to deny any of the ethnicities that run in our veins. It's just easy quick answer, and if they want to know more about our races we go into detail. It isn't like mixing colors to create a new color. They are members of both (or multiple) races. The proof is in their ancestory and in their blood. No need for racism.
@@imjoeking1425 Yeah what you said literally proved my point and you cant compare a color to heritage that has no biological basis. Biracial isnt a race. Mixed isnt a race. Because if it was, every black person that the United States will be a part of it. I feel like you don't know what the definition of race is. Also there is no racism because none of what you stated is a race. At the most it could be prejudiced or bigotry but it isn't even that because I'm just explaining to you how things function in you don't understand it and you've gotten offended because you didn't understand and now you're trying to play them it's discriminatory against you when it's just teaching you basic info. There's a reason you can't Mark biracial or mixed on the census because it's not a racial identity. Race is about identification. It's humid categorization based on a defining characteristic. This is elementary school stuff. And also, you just assume that I'm not biracial... Kind of bigoted of you
With no disrespect intended to the winner, it sends a message to Black girls that “you can’t win unless you look like this.” This is the struggle black women in the US have always had. I assume it’s the reason this pageant was started. But again, the black woman is shown that only light skin and long straight hair can win in America. I think that is the point here sadly.
What is she supposed to do? S he would never win against Caucasians. Yet she's too pretty to be black? It's unfair to deny her black ancestry and penalize her for being more attractive than dark skinned blacks.
Rhoshail Jackson to enter the pageant the rules were you have to have black heritage. According to your own path of thinking if only dark skin black women won pageants like these it would send a message to light black skin girls that you are not black enough to win the pageant let alone enter them. HOW does this make any sense?!?!?!
@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 that's not the rules you need two black parents the owners of the pageant make the rules we need to stop being so insecure so what if a biracial girl won
@occam: ".....that whites are more aesthetically beautiful than blacks..." Says who, occam? I believe in the old adage, "BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder." IF you understand what I mean.
its not about having white only pageants ....think about this majority of pageants are white or euro looking south American women ...the blacks that do get in barely win if ever so for black woman to take pride in their own beauty u have to have black pageants ......but for a euro looking half biracial girl too win in a ethnic centric pageant just shows that euro standards of beauty are still end all be all even in 2017
At least she accepts her Blackness...She is Biblically BLACK . She is of her FATHER First...not the MOTHER. Even if her MOTHER was BLACK. She is still of her Father FIRST...However, if you so-called believe in GOD and still going by the NARRATIVE of WHITE CHRISTIAN corruption of "Your BIBLE"..written about BLACK people. Hopefully, you are not like most LOST BLACK people in America... But then on the other hand, just because ONE may have Melanin…don't mean TheMostHigh will let YOU in....either. Shalom
Burna as a Black Woman to another black girl/young lady. That was an ignorant statement you made. I’m sure you weren’t raised to be hateful. How would you feel is someone said nobody wanted black people. The way it’s looking our culture seems to be eradicated with each decade making us 4th biggest race of being a minority in America from being the 2nd for 400 years. (Were behind Hispanics and Asians). Just to teach you something Being Black is a culture being African American is a race. Biracial is not a race. We are African Americans who identify as black or biracial.
To say the backlash was "unexpected" is totally disingenuous. She already knows what she looks like. She had to have expected it once she was announced the winner
@@pr1.8ijmk Apparently, you're not black or have no frame of reference for the experiences of _most_ African-Americans. Dude explained it @2:53, to say you wouldn't expect the response implies you're oblivious to the lived reality of the majority of black people in America. In other words, it's better to remain silent and be thought an idiot than to post a comment that removes all doubt.
It’s like when white ppl say the n word and they be like “oh my best friend is black” like Ik her momma is a fat whale Walmart Beckys just by listening to her 😒
I mean this shows you how successful whites have been in completely damaging and confusing the minds of blacks. You would never have a problem like this in the white community. why? Because anything not pure white is no longer seen as white. But they have brainwashed blacks so well into thinking that no matter how watered down the black is, its still black, to the point where white people can just sit back and watch blacks reinforce that ''one drop rule'' non sense that came from whites.
@Oz khan Hey dumbass, instead of running your mouth, why dont you just go do a little research. I know its hurts you when your people get held accountable for something, but this is something you cant run away from. Go look up the ''One Drop Rule'', and go from there. Stop eing an emotional little fuck, and actually look up something before going into your victim role.
Oz Khan omg how you are acting, is what wrong with people in this world today! Just stop please & I honestly think I would love to see an animal defend the white people than you! 😤😤😡😡😡
@ A Digital Channel they actually played a fundamental role in this situation. Again, instead of playing the victim like yall love to do when you are held accountable for your actions, just go look up the One Drop Rule and tell me again how ''white people had nothing to do with that''.
gunstreets...you are so full of shit.....I married a very dark skinned black woman and through my experience with her and also always experiencing my navy years where all the black guys I hung out with were crystal clear that they wanted the beyonce or vanessa williams skin tone in their women....don't even try to deny it either...I'm willing to bet 80 to 90 percent of black men prefer a Light Skinned black woman or a puerto rican or even white woman over a dark skinned woman. Take your brainwash bullshit and take responsibility for your black men's actions.
At least she accepts her Blackness...She is Biblically BLACK . She is of her FATHER First...not the MOTHER. Even if her MOTHER was BLACK. She is still of her Father FIRST...However, if you so-called believe in GOD and still going by the NARRATIVE of WHITE CHRISTIAN corruption of "Your BIBLE"..written about BLACK people.

She's not black, she's mixed/biracial in a black pageant in which she should not have won. It's only here in America where a mixed/biracial person can get away with being black when clearly she's not, in other countries she would be referred to as to what she is which is MIXED/BIRACIAL. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being mixed/biracial but in terms of a BLACK pageant for BLACK WOMEN she shouldn't have won.
chris parker I agree that black women are promoters of biracials being black but that's only because of how high the black community (mostly the black men) put them on a pedestal. We're not hypocrites most of us are just coming to our senses.
@@jayla-annsimmons5688 what do you mean coming to your senses? I won't touch anything but a black woman. It's more than just a preference, it's also for proper spirit development
Wakandan Cowboy I was replying to the other person, I'm saying coming to our senses as in we are finally realizing how prasing biracial women and uplifting them in our community that we fail to uplift ourselves half the time
Imagine if white girls were taught to hate themselves for having thin lips, straight hair and pale skin then a biracial with full lips, curls, and brown skin won a white beauty pageant.
That about sums it up. You really do have the best comment on this subject. And like the other person on this comment thread said "white people would NEVER let that happen! EVER!"
@Dina L I don't give a fuck what he identifies himseld as. He is Biracial and nothing is going to change that. I can identify as a woman if I want but that will never change the fact that I am a man
The point of a black pagent is to celebrate black features. She has none of those features. She is not black. She is biracial. I'm sure she is nice and she certainly is beautiful, but she is not black. Black is all the things that make our lives harder. It what makes us "other" in society. Its the features that we have to reclaim and assert in society as beautiful. She has no part in this. She doesn't understand this. She can pass as other races. My blackness cannot be disguised or hidden or blended away. I'm upset that she would even try to say that she is black. She has the privilege of whiteness on every feature of her body. She needs to stay in her lane and we as blacks need to stop telling biracial people that they are black. You don't get to stand in the place of struggle when it suits you. And again, I am sure she is a wonderful young woman, but she will never walk the same road as me.
Khalil Streeter highly unlikely kind of seems like you’re lying. But she could be East African. Which is different from west Africans. Though East Africans are black. They still have dark skin, have curly hair and big lips. Which are still black features. Unless you’re lying which I’m guessing you are.
I am so very sick of this. In most black families you have biracial family members. We really need to stop and embrace our beautiful color spectrum. Because no matter how dark or light we all will face struggles.
Loretta Davis That is where you are wrong. We don’t face the same. Biracial is not black or else you would have said that but clearly made a distinction. So you know they are different. It’s not hate it’s just fact. You can’t be two races and claim to be one when you have only half. Stop trying to live vicariously through biracial ppl. Black does not come in all shades and everyone on the planet seems to know that except for black Americans who are adamant on claiming black and white biracial ppl as black. If a black and white biracial person is black the my black ass is also biracial. Since were the same. Right?🤦🏾♀️ this is simple fact and biology. Stop supporting white supremacy with this bs.
Because how far back do you go? Most African-Americans have some white ancestors... that's why they look different than Africans. Multi-generational African-Americans are pretty much all mixed racially... so what becomes the line? How much black dna is required to be Black vs Biracial? Or Tri-Racial? Or Multi-racial?
I agree with u, Killmonger. And to all your naysayers, not ALL blacks are mixed with something. We are NOT all multiracial. Stop feeding into that bull crap you have been told.
Mixed people have been counted as black in the US for a very long time. But they can separate from Black America and take people like Lenny Kravitz, Bob Marley, Halle Berry, Prince, Frederick Douglas, Nat Turner, Colin Kapernik, Jessie Williams and many more who are currently supportive of the black community with them. Bye.
Blacks can't represent biracials, yet biracials can represent both blacks AND biracials interesting! Imagine if a fully black woman entered a Miss biracial pageant and won. It's unfair that biracials get their own spaces & also get to represent over ours
I'm going to have to agree that she really doesn't look black enough to win at a black beauty pageant. Colorism is real in the black community, and I think her winning at this pageant does an injustice to darker skin black women. It's like they are trying to reinforce that lighter skin is better. I am light skin myself, and I don't think she should have even entered the contest.
Obama is black. He is the first black president. He will go down in history as such because he is a black man with family in Africa which is a stronger claim to Blackness than any black person in the United States. And biracial is not a race. It's a state of being that virtually every black person is who is a descendant of a Slave But just a side note, how in the world are you that unaware? As much as he talks about his mother as much as his family has been discussed how in the world do you not know that Obama's mother was a white woman that met his father a Kenyan man in Hawaii where Obama was born. Do you live under a rock?
@@jiggyprettyblackboy6723 WOW what a wonderfully worked, well structured argument. cool. good for you on not living in reality or having common sense. the rest of us will continue to know how basic lineage works and having common sense. you can stay an insecure dipshit affected by colorism so much that you think you have the right to tell someone they dont have claik to their own history, heritage, culture and identity. And either way, hes still African. Hes still Kenyan. if thes that...then Well what do you know, that means hes black. *Idiot* *Blocked*
Why did she had to participate the one beauty contest, that is for Black women? I dont get it. She looks like a white woman. She should have had respect towards black women. Isnt USA full of different kind of beauty contests, so why this? How much she thought others, women, who really are black. I think She didnt. Otherwise she wouldnt have participated specifically in that beauty contest. Thats feels so arrogant and disrispectful.
@@Misaamanenoir Right this is unfortunately where the divide is. Black men see anyone with a drop of black as that, where as black women who truly go through colorism know the differences, because there are
Katarina - 79 You make such a good point, and I rarely ever hear anyone say it. I think many partially black and barely black people know its easiest to be the cream of the crop in the black community (without EVER actually having to reciprocate any of the support), than in other communities, especially white. Light skin? Finer hair or lighter etes? Automatically respected and cherished, automatic rise to to top of the chain. Period. No effort. We rarely if ever hear white people fighting this hard to include "mixed" people, and they know it. For many, its only better to be black when it suits them. Many throw black people right under the bus when around mostly white people, yet black people keep fighting for them. Someone said it earlier: its ok for them to claim biracial - thats what they are, PART of this and PART of that. When's the last time you saw a bunch of biracial women taking up for, embracing, supporting a black woman? Probably never, and the multiracial men are usually even more anti-black.
Hahahahahahahaha!! Now that is funny says this "African-American" lady. I could care less what the lady is. Women of every ethnicity, etc., are beautiful, and so are men. It would be nice to see women of my hue and darker represented a bit more.
Nope she's mixed not black shouldn't she be able to claim white then but she can't because she's mixed with black so how and why does she get to come into a black space and take an opportunity from fully black women
+GameBangerGameBanger7 bro theres pure lightskinned afrians with 4-c hair theres brown skinned and darkskin ....skin tone has to do with the region your from ..when your pure african.....skin tone means shit in americia if your not black dont come at me with no skin tone bullshit theres tons of mix breed ppl with dark skin tones u have to look deep at facial features and hair ....my friend has a white mom and hes brown skin...so its best to go by percentages
Hell, I'm a multiracial woman who bears a really freaky resemblance to Rachel True, and even I wouldn't feel right taking a spot from an actual monoracial black woman. Because if you ask (which people do all the time), I am going to say that I am multiracial or mixed. Because that is the truth. I come from a very mixed family and couldn't honestly claim one thing even if I wanted to. This girl doesn't understand what the problem is, and that is actually part of the problem.
I agree but here's where i disagree, biracial black people should identify as black, sometimes you gotta pick a side, no white person ever gonna call you white, I bet her own mom doesn't even think she's white cuz she's not.
The gender issue is easy if you are born what's a male part private part you are a man if you are born with a female car then you are a female that's easy like I said before Obama appears to be black he is black he just has that phone with him I don't see any soul in that girl there's a lot I think God Drake maybe biracial but he has sold in him you can tell it a black person have with swag about the morning the men have a certain swag

I don't think she should be attacked but she definitely passes as white. like I had no idea she was black. I don't think that someone who doesn't represent black people should win. Like there are plenty of mixed people who you can tell Are actually black. Honestly if she hadn't announced she was black she would still have her white privilege
She looks more Mestizo Latina from Colombia, Venezuela, Honduras, those areas where people are mixed Indigenous meso-American and white with a small amounts of black DNA than purely half black, half white. Like if she was two shades, she would look white to me.
Technically she is biracial. However if I saw her walking down the street, I would think white girl. Not biracial and definitely not black. Very pretty girl, she should be proud of her accomplishment. A lot of work goes into those pageants. What this all shows is a multicultural society is really a multi fractured society.
She literally has a tanned skin tone, why would you think she's white, because she has straight hair? Do you know how many half black people have straight hair?
@@killa2345 just what you said - tanned skin, guess what white people tan. She has European features that's why I would view her as white. I have a sister (white) who looks like her.
She has more white in her though. Her daddy is mix (White and black) and her mom is full white. She shouldnt be allowed and she looks white with those thin european lips
Black people come in many shades that's why they used to call us colored people back in the day and remember her ass would be sold on the plantations like every other black although they would probably make her work in the house.....so so sad ...but quit hating on her show some love although the winners were all light skinned in that photo of the males standing with the females at the fraternity!!!!
Bethany Loreal Cherian that doesn’t change that one of her parents are black or that she’s engaging with what been taught to her and doing something positive blacks hating blacks and then screaming racism stfu with this shit
She can pass as white. I feel her, but there’s a difference. I’m biracial too, but I could never pass as white. I still feel for her, but she does have privilege.
@@Hadda23 take a look at that pic. She looks like a dark haired white woman compared to all of the other women. Even alone, she does not give black. Ethically ambiguous like Hispanic or Asian but not black.
please don't use that pretty privilege phrase that a jealous segment of our comm has used to disinfranchise light people. Everyone has an adv in some area of life. We look stupid doing this.
Ok! Wait a minute, tell it like it is "It isn't that she isn't black ENOUGH, it's that; She isn't black! That's what we are saying: Skin tone does not apply here, because mixed persons who parents are Black & White does not produce a DARK tone, they do not qualify as "light-skinned" "Jessie Jackson, Angela Davis, Smokey Robinson are light-skinned: "Hollie Berry, Kalin Kapernacki, Alicia Keyes, are NOT light-skinned
There are dark skinned biracial people, but yeah most are light skinned so it's annoying when they call someone like drake, light skin. By that logic, so it Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump is light skin as well
I try not to have an issue with this but my question to Rachel is when you're applying for something and it ask ethnicity do you tick white or black? I think that's the real question here. She can claim blackness once as she's claiming it all the way. Don't enter a black scholarship competition when you feel black then tick white when it suits you.
She absolutely has a right to check either box because she is both black and white. Just cuz you’re not comfortable with how she chooses to present herself the way you feel doesn’t mean she can’t by your standards! You don’t make the rules for God made her a biracial black woman and white woman. She has that God given right to choose what she identifies with on paper if that’s what she was born as. 🙄
Brian Mahoney exactly. If she is 2 races she cannot solely claim 1 race for convenience. They need to change the rules and base things off the percentage of black not simply having a parent that is black. Hey why not compete if they had a black great grandfather in a Caucasian family
How can you win a black beauty contest if your biracial. I don't understand. it should be very clear on the application you have to be a person of African descent. Nothing wrong with being biracial but there is a difference. it's okay for us as black folks to celebrate ourselves.
She is of African decent but with white also. And mostly everyone is mixed in the world even in Africa itself. Few people are 100%. Most African Americans are 20 percent or more white but are we white, no. Where is the line to say you are black or not black? Everyone is of Mixed race so let that individual decide if they want to be both or one of the two races. Why does it really matter so much in America. If people are upset she won maybe they should be upset not at her but the people who voted if she "isn't black or black enough". All biracial are mixed but not all mixed are biracial, maybe that the hang up?
Lol, she is of African decent....unless the African DNA my father laid down just disappeared one day...so am i....I'm also European....but ehhh who really wants to talk about that lol
Shawn Harvey and going why their logical a white person who’s 6 greatgrandma or pa was black then they could win the contest because they technically of African descent. You see the sloppily slope of allowing mixed people to be black. At the end of the day, they are mixed.
Apparently some ppl say her dad is biracial, so would that not make her 25% black which is not black. Even if she is biracial (full black dad) then she still would not be black. And she does not even look black in any way tho. I am aware blacks come in all colours, shapes etc. But she does not pass as black in any way and if she is only 25% then that is just no .plus am i the only one who thought most of the other girls looked better than her? (And no this has nothing to do with me being bias 😂😂)
VivnightcoreMsp exactly. I thought she was the ugliest of all the girls. That’s why I was confused that she won in the first place. Ya your right. She ain’t black. That’s that.
But isn’t that the point exactly? Being black IS about what you look like, if it is obvious that you are of African decent. Being a part of African American culture I would assume is another story as that seems to be about history, traditions, religion etc. I’m from Northern Europe and as someone who has never lived in America with its one drop rule I’m pretty sure a lot of African Americans have more ancestors in common with me than with someone from west Africa. But that shouldn’t take away their history and culture and that they are African American?
Human being love to make up stuff! Biracial Race? Stop making more race's!!! She is not excepted by the white race! The Black Man is the father of all race's and the Black Woman is the mother! The only race on this planet is the white race!!!! And most of them aren't pure in origins!!! We love our so-called biracial people! They belong to us and not the white race!
Biracial mix with black. Yeah technically black. I'm Hispanic mix with black and white. I'm proud being mix with black. Consider myself black. All shades are beautiful.
neilburg she literally has a face of many white women I’ve seen. Tf her features are barely black, not her nose, not her lips, not her forehead. You sound...
It’s not that she’s mixed. It’s that she’s light skin. If she was mixed and dark skin no one would care. It’s that darker skin women are treated less. Especially from their own community. It’s very sad. Cause everyone gaslights. It’s so strange cause dark skin black men don’t get the effects of colorism like black women. I’m not shocked they picked her to win
phuck y'all did they show a photo of her father? I didn't see it. Anyway she said she identifies as black and white. The beauty pageant is black and not black and white.
Imade Her Dad is black actually. Not mixed. I’m half black, half Asian, my husband is dark skinned black. My daughter is light skinned and my son is dark skinned. You’re an idiot if you think race is determined by how pale or dark skinned someone is. Their genetics don’t take away who they are.
So many people in the comments are saying that because she is biracial she shouldn’t have been in the pageant. It is sending a message to other biracial people that they cannot celebrate that side of themselves because they are not fully one race.
I knew a girl in hs that was biracial half black half white beautiful girl, nice etc in hs there were african american kids that kept being mean to her and it led to her developing a strong self hatred of her black side and a cognitive dissonance of it and she'd only claim white, that girl became sick inside becos of them treating her awfully.
its all on youtube do a search and it's the same thing on repeat you see how this internet crew stormed this now look at the same for me and you will hear this crickets
I'm a black woman. And mother to two biracial girls. That said, BIRACIAL IS NOT BLACK. Biracial is biracial. They will not experience the world as I have. Nor will they ever experience the same level of privilege as their father. As their parents, we know this. And it is our responsibility to make them aware of it as well. I wish more parents of biracial children to get this through their heads.
ISaidIt 2 you've bought into the "One drop rule". This was a racist Concept in which anyone with even a small amount of black lineage was to be scrutinized. This was never to benefit black people, it was conceived to limit the rights of non-white people. If you are going to question the validity of a term simply because it is fairly new to you, I'm going to have to ask you whether or not the average black person stills calls themselves "colored" or "negroes". Clearly, they do not. Those terms are outdated. My point is: things change-- more importantly, they evolve. And you can either evolve with the times or remain a relic of the past. I choose the former.
CluelessGmer maybe she had kids with someone that she really liked and not based on the color of their skin?? That stuff never made sense to me, just date who you want, race is irrelevant. Not being with someone because of the color of their skin sounds stupid
she not black she mixed. slavery started the CONFUSION of features, colorism, its why light brown, brown, and expecially dark brown BLACK WOMEN! thats not mixed have to speak up about this and take a stand, which is happening now.
I agree . As biracial woman I don't identify with black women. But saying we should have our own space I agree however, keep in,mind vast majority of black people in black history are half white.that becomes dangerous for black people
I've seen Biracial people do that in some small way, like simply having online support groups/organizations and racists come along and act like wrecking balls, harassing people, acting like covert saboteurs, accusing people of various things. I've seen some white and black people pull those stunts. What do you think would happen if Biracial people tried to have shit like 'Biracial-only' beauty pageants? First of all, it would be confusing even determining who fits in the Biracial category to begin with because the African-American community is so historically mixed, and second of all, it would lead to accusations of light-skinned people being "colorstruck" and exclusionary. Damned if one does, damned if one doesn't. Me personally, I think the way to go is for people to relate and connect with each other based on a common heritage and culture, we don't have to be squeezed outta the Black community. We all just need to work with and cooperate with each other and understand each other's unique experiences.
I hate when this happened. I get the same treatment since I was a child. My mom don’t think this exist about skin color in the black Community. She don’t believe light skin women get treated poorly by dark skin women.
I'm biracial.. I'm not black enough and I'm not white enough because I'm a mixture of both.. Stop trying to be considered as a 100% black woman because the struggles they face are not the same..
@ling ling stfu because that's a lie! Black women don't necessarily mean African-American women alone. Go to Africa, the Caribbeans etc.. and you'll see that black women all around the world are BEAUTIFUL af
@@danberryy This competition isn't about black women. It's about Black women. The history of the United States is its own history. Her win says nothing about women around the world.
How could a black women struggle more than a biracial woman? A biracial woman would struggle more. She literally has family who oppress her. Black women have family who support and uplift them.
Okay, as a microbiology student, I need to explain something to you guys. *Just because her parents are white and black doesn't mean that she genotypically is 50/50.* Truly, she looks to have a much higher percentage of white than black. *Nonetheless, she is not black phenotypically*
All Abored If we don't define what blackness is then we have bitches like Rachel dolezal who can claim ANYTHING just because. You don't get to erase and overshadow actual black people who have faced true discrimination in this country. Please stay in your mixed person lane. Please and thanks.
All Abored when did I EVER say a "lightskin black person" was white? Can you read? A biracial person is biracial. Not black. Not white. Biracial. That's allll I said.
Imade I fear for the future of my children when there are people like you policing shit like this. My kids are to my husband, a very dark skinned black man, I’m half Jamaican and half Chinese living in England. My son is dark skinned black, my daughter is light skinned with Asian features. So my kids, to the same parents, one is black and one is not to you? Idiot.
I was just saying I'm not black to a group of black people. I claim mixed or biracial. I said if I won a pageant for most beautiful black woman black women would be upset. This proves my point! Why can't I be both!!!!!!???????
I honestly can see both sides. on one side, I feel for her and her exclusion from the black community. On the other side, I know the prejudice dark-skinned black women face and how she will most likely never fact them. I feel like there are few places dark skin is glorified and she just took one. The conflict of blacks.....
If she had 2 black parents, and people were saying "she isn't black enough" just because she has lighter skin, than they feel she should, then that would be bullshit. Color is not the same as Race. But that's not the case. She has only 1 black parent. So, she is only 50% black. Mathematically, that isn't "black enough" for a "Black" contest. She simply doesn't qualify. Now whether or not race or color should be a qualification, is a separate issue.
But she doesn't claim black does she? She claims biracial, and then enters black pageants, and wonders why people have issues with her winning. And I believe her father is bi-racial himself.
Why was the comment below "removed as spam, and only visible to me"? john smith her dad is mixed too, she wonders why people think shes hispanic and not black, its because most hispanic are in fact mixed, while most black americans look more like africans.
Heidi S and her father is probably aa so he's probably only like seventy percent black and thats why she looks so white. I wouldn't be surprised if genetically she was only like 30% black and that's why people think she's Hispanic as Hispanic people tend to have mostly European and a lil African admixture
While doing your calculations did you notice how fabricated race is. Race isn’t real. Imagine she isn’t s black women in society but she is a black women genetically....
As a light skinned black girl this is just sickening. My whole life I have struggled with feeling not accepted by black community. I feel as though i have to constantly prove my blackness. We come in all different shades and we should completely and totally accept each other. Please!!
She's biracial. Black people have been forced to accept biracials as black. Why don't they fight for acceptance from white people to be called white? Oh we know why.
It’s not about her skin color !!! GAWD it’s about her phenotype the judges who were bm crowded her in a black beauty pageant… if this doesn’t scream beige rage and mayor gorrila fetish idk what does… and you being light skin doesn’t take away from you being black there’s dark skin mixed ppl so you’re point in inert … 💀 the topic is race not skin tone..
@@8080janei after ya keep raving the same will be true she'll still be queen she'll still be beautiful other lt women will still be picked selected and flocked to still be ....over and over and posts like this can be used to say we are hateful angry bitties smh running down lt women is damaging to us in so many ways
in real life i've never seen any separation between who is biracial a little a lot in the middle blacks. the people who gave you that grief did they look closer to your skin tone or much farther from it?
Snickers & Pickles hmmm black people haten other blacks or judging them based on how dark they are that’s not racist at all but yet I bet you’ve said the word racism before moron.
you see it to colorism in the flesh where is the outrage when light men are selected for roles so if it's a black thing and not a female jealousy thing why are they not ranting and raving over .. hmmm
if your parents aren't both black and your mix you're not a black woman. I don't have no dog in this race so I don't care who won. but if you look at the fraternity Kappa they all light skinned for the most part damn near White so why wouldn't a pick a candidate that look just like them.
Sorry to break it to you but a lot of African Americans aren't actually fully African, which is why African Americans tend to have a lighter complexion than Africans.
Biracial people aren't black. I don't mean to be rude but you can't mix an orange with an apple and still call it an orange or an apple... It's now something new. Biracial people are biracials.. They're pretty much a new race. You can tell the difference between a biracial person and a light skin black person like myself. I come from 2 black parents. My mom is light and comes from 2 DARK skin BLACK parents. My dad is a dark black man. This is why biracials are confused. The one drop rule is and was stupid. I hope I don't sound like a racist but Biracials aren't black. They're a new race. But if we keep on mixing, biracials will be the new black.
Two of my kids are mixed ( Black/White/Choctaw-Indian) and they have know problems telling people they're Biracial.. However society does view them as black because their physical features are more so that of a black person.
I am biracial myself with light skin, golden wavy hair, and brown eyes. But my cousin who is also biracial is darker skinned with coily black hair and brown eyes. The issue is colorism, from the outside I may not look black and my cousin may appear not one bit white but we are both biracial.
Before you get mad at the people who voted for her. Think a little deeper and you will realize you should get mad at the people who let her compete. This is like playing a game of who has the best dunks. Contestant number 5 wins then people start complaining that he is not short enough he is too tall in contrast to the other contestants. Well you should said that before everything started. If you are complaining as one of the competitors you should not have competed with him because he was the same height before the game started.
Zenna If she is not black then why are people calling Meghan Markle 'African American' ? She is Biracial, just like this girl is, just like Halle Berry. Or do you have to be famous to be black ?
Olu Apampa what do you mean? No DNA tells us that she isn't 'black.' Just because someone identifies as black it doesn't make them black. Why can't she claim being white?
She met the qualifications to participate in the pageant. She must've met gpa requirements, and seems to be intelligent and articulate as well. All of the outrage and anger should be directed to the fraternity, not her.
Our people are still mentally in slavery. This is where this whole issue started from. This conversation is played out, dead and needs to be stomped out... smh
@Kathryn: OK, whatever makes you happy, none of my biz. But when we someday truly transcend racism it won't be necessary. I'm just grateful, every day, that black people invented jazz and blues. :-)
Katryn Dorsey This tells everyone that those girls aren't good enough. This is running the fuck away. When this pageant started there was a need for it because of the racial segregation, but why do you feel the need to do some long dead bigots' dirty work for them? If we're nowhere near post-racial, why are you willing to go backwards? How does it feel to tell the likes of Martin Luther King, Malcom X, or your ancestors that knew true discrimination, that they died for nothing? that they should have gone fucked themselves because the current Black American generation has totally stagnated and chose to happily give their ground away like some bitches?
Kathryn Dorsey what's the point of the contest if anyone can use the one drop rule or if they have a black parent who is actually only part black which is why she is more white than black
I really wish they would give them beauty platforms for mixed and barraical and I'm sick of black people saying this. White people don't allow barraical to claim whiteness who have one white parent so that should be the same thing when they say they black and they should be able to say I'm both
