BLACK TIKTOK: Let's talk about colorism 

this is soo true and people choose to ignore it because it benefits them.

@@homarneysetoute8840 exactly

@Q Lock Can't you read or you're just stupid?? They are not complaining about BM not liking them They're complaining about BM degrating them and not supporting them as much as they support light skin or non-black women I LITERALLY said it wasn't only about dating or liking someone. Rejecting someone just bc of his/her skin tone is pretty weird but since y'all keep tryna justify colorism...

I all so see dark skinned women preferring light skinned men and i all so see dark skinned women being races and mean but hey thats just my experience ?and for the record im with a dark skinned over weight woman so im not colorist 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

@@hotrod6299 Dammmnnn colorism doesn't mean preferring lightskin women. Preference=When you like several things but you like one of these things better than the other ones. Colorists gonna like anybody from any race and any ethnicity butt black women. Colorism means discriminating dark skin people. Some BM date lightskin women and start bashing dark skin women to uplift the lightskin women and that's the problem. just watch the video they are not only talking abt dating stuff like DAMMMN. Dating a dark skin woman doesn't mean you're not a colorist my g, not degrating them and treating them the same way you would treat a lightskin woman makes you not a colorist.

Real as day 😞

DaRkSkIn ShAwTy Exactly being biracial does not equate to being black.

@@mshxx7251 Okayy that's not the subject but 1st of all some biracial can be darkskin skin or brown skin so they will automatically identify as Black. Being biracial means being several races at the same time Mixed is not a whole different race. Most biracial people identify as black. Darkskin,brownskin lightskin, mixed..when the light comes off we're all black so stop deviding us and telling people that they're not black enough. That's not the point cause at the end of the day we're gonna face racism together

@@melaninhub7467 im not dividing though but sorry then x

@@melaninhub7467 sorry if it came out that way love youur channelxx. i mean like those mixed people who would be like i hate white people when there mum/dad is white and hating there white side .

Fr albinos aren't mentioned most of the time and that's realllyy messed up

Yeah and mixed/biracial people aren't black. They're mixed/biracial aka part black, not full black aka two black biological parents.

True I didn't find any tiktok that was mentioning them 😓

@@prettypink1724 Being Mixed means you are several races it is not a different race. Mixed people who aren't white passing are seen as black and generally identify as black even if they're not fully black

@@gabrielle_sn9200 Oh yeahhhh. Damn you right

@Surgeon 17 Men that don’t take women seriously usually tend to date other men.

I know some white guys who date outside their race but don't bash or blame white women for the reason they date out. Black guys are too immature for black women and they know white women are the only ones who will put up with their shit.

@@brett8460 how did she bash white women she really didn't

TRUTH FULLY SPOKEN

@@Shante-330 “men that don’t take women seriously usually tend to date other men.” uhhhh that’s a very questionable statement for someone who i’m assuming is blk therefore they face the hatred and understand it’s wrong to hate someone for something they can’t change. now what we’re not gonna do is put another marginalized community down. i’m not even a gæ man, i’m sapphic. does that mean i don’t take men seriously? and then let’s incorporate that into the straights. someone dating someone means they don’t take everyone else seriously? i mean it doesn’t make sense. also pstttttt learn about intersectionality, there are gæ blk men and women and they face discrimination for both things. genuinely surprised no one found a problem with that comment...

She needs therapy and a better environment.

No

let her move in with you an see what happens

​@@ramsessbilal3387What

​@@jemellgeorge1791Yes skin is beautiful. Find God.

I agree 100% i had my own mother tell me my skin was "too dark",and gave me skin bleaching creams. Along with telling me my natural hair was "ugly", "a mess". And it looked like a "demon"

@ oh wow. If you have a black daughter I suggest you CARE about what we are saying otherwise please do not produce any black girls. They need parents who CARE. Black girls experience a lot of negative representation. We are called angry, ghetto, unattractive, etc. Just so many negative stereotypes and constantly belittled by black men. Being black and then being a woman is the hardest thing because black is seen as least desirable and that's because racism and other factors and that seriously affects the self-esteem of these young black blacks. Hair is another issue. We are constantly told we have bad hair and some black girls grow up to hate their hair and cover it with weave and wigs.

@ will black men for once get over yourselves? When black men get shot black women are right there protesting. The founder of black lives matter is a black woman. And did you not see Brianna Taylor get shot? And on top of that they were looking for her boyfriend who still has his life while she and the baby are gone. When we discuss things we go through black men are very selfish and don't care but when yall go through things we are expected to care. I feel bad for little black girls if these are men they have as fathers.

@ he was a drug dealer who put Brianna and their unborn baby in danger. He's just as guilty as the cops

@ my looks has nothing to with this conversation, be a grown man and have an intelligent conversation without resorting to childish behavior. How old are you 16?

@@googlea2692 How did I call her???

shes mixed biracial example is like Talia Jackson from family reunion

@@melaninhub7467 so she ain’t fully black tf. Y’all wanna claim everyone is black.

Not at all we're all minorities Latins grew up side by side with blacks same as Asians you can't at all say it originated with blacks! So stop it! You don't know who started it first! Don't come trying to gaslight different communities as if they weren't a thing!

@@zacharymelendez2982 I think you should check your black history. Really dive deep into it. Unfortunately what you said invalidated our culture, things we've done and created, and the fact that we are literally the backbone of America as well as other places. It doesn't take Einstein to know that pop culture and gen-z culture (including mannerisms, slang, etc.) is HEAVILY if not entirely influenced by black folk. Yes, all POC are minorities, but you saying because some of us grew up alongside each other means that it *implied* that y'all started things and most trends that are being used present day. And we do know who started it first because we're educated and learning. We're here to educate, too. Don''t squash and invalidate us in the process of questioning where trends originated, just look deeper into it. Lots of videos, documentaries, black libraries, textbooks, etc. It's okay to not be black or to be a different race and even want to take part in what we've started and our culture. "Not at all, we're all minorities." is very invalidating and silencing. We're tired of being silenced.

Right! I watched Jackie Aina's video and she said she thinks Blacks made acrylic nails popular and hoop earrings like you said!

@@-joyful-8593 like i said u don't know who did it first period history is all a lie half of it is proven wrong so idc!

Your English Was Spoken Beautifully

This is such a personal question, so if you prefer not to answer I understand, but are you from Angola, Cape Verde, Mozambique or Guinea Bissau? I love learning about different countries and language. And you have such a pretty name and your English was written perfectly! Sorry if this comes across as creepy

@@libbystwinfreelibby1839 In my case I’m from mozambique 🇲🇿💖

Wrong your English is clear I get your point🔥

I relate. I wish this worked with straightening hair. In 1st and 2nd grade, girls would harass me bcuz of my hair so I straightened it often and now 10 years later I'm still trying to bring back the curls and coils

Omg me too

Lemons work slightly for things like hyperpigmentation, but it's not going to bleach you completely. There are products, creams, and pills that work VERY effectively but I wouldn't recommend. You're gorg sis! 💕

falling moon yess that’s the energy👏🏿👏🏿 we don’t alter our skin color over here😌

@@adetomiakintitan4980 PERIODT.

@@adetomiakintitan4980I have to plead guilty to some of this. As a kid I was constantly being bullied about my skin color. I kind of took it to heart until I met dark skinned girls who were kind,considerate and generally great friends to me. Tbh I still have a little guilt over some of my thoughts concerning dark skinned girls. But my experience taught me that personality is way more attractive than skin color

tv and the media taught me to

@@lenoralol9962 what they said and white ppl from MY EXPERIENCE

Not only you deal with racism. Racism still exists because whites and blacks are of different origins but share same history in which whites had wronged the blacks. I am not saying that all blacks are racist but as a white guy I have experienced that whatever we do, we are called racist just because we are whites. Where as a black person can never be racist since he is a black person! That's wrong right? Not all blacks are like that but still there are some. Meanwhile a white guy can also be racist, which we have seen in murder of George Floyd. But not all whites are like that. Racism cannot be removed because both parents of both races teach their children differently. My parents had strictly told me to be very polite and calm with blacks since they are aggressive and feel taunted easily. This is so wrong. When I was a kid I didn't even knew if they are aggressive. Such teaching sucks. One of my black friend once told me that his parents strictly told him to behave in a particular nice manner with whites since whites have more legal power and he could get arrested/blamed for wrong crime. This kind of teaching is also incorrect. I am sure this happens in most houses. A pure child who knows nothing about racism is forced to behave in such a way with opposite race creates a divide. It tells the child that he's different from other guy. This is how racism continues. None of my black friends were ever racist or aggressive with me but we all do behave little different with each other than we do with our race. People of same race find it easy to interact with same race but hard at same time with other races. My conclusion is to end racism we should not blame any other race. Whatever our ancestors did cannot be forgiven. But we are not them. There's no use blaming us or hating our race.

@Truth IS why can't i be here

@Truth IS cause I support black lives matter. Why are you trying to get me out of the community?

@@niranjandesai6766 yes. I hate how black people go around insulting whites and they say "I can't be racist bcz I'm black". You are racist, you the same shit...

Im a "darkskin" biracial and i agree. Not because i don't want to be black its just the facts. Black isnt about adopting culture, racial experiences, and shade of brown. Its dna for your parents

Mixed is not a race.

@@Maria-kp4ws black isnt a race. White isnt a race. Brown isn't a race. Yet it's still said. And we know what is being implied..idk y people get offended by mixed but not about the "blacks" and "white" etc thing its literally the equivalent. And Biracial isnt just one race is what she means.

If It came up in a conversation I will say I'm Black. Not Native American or White or Mixed. I don't relate to those communities. I relate to the Black community. You don't know what I look like and what I experienced.

@@Maria-kp4ws neither is any other “race”

Same. They’re mixed that’s that.

Exactly just like Barack Obama is the first biracial or mixed President not Black. You’re absolutely right!

why are you guys si eager to put people in a box though ? they are black, maybe not fully but they still are, i mean some mixed people look darkskined and face the same racism as a black person.

@@deprimeplatypus490 and they are still white. They are MIXED.

@@deprimeplatypus490 If they face racism that is their issue. Brown skin asians dont call themselves black just because they face racism. Stop erasing black people

Yass girl that's what I was thinking. They be banning our acc for no damn reason too. qfnuitqahdniouFKN Anyway bye girl 💖❤

I see you every where oh gosh 😂😂

So I'm not black?

No, they need a therapy.

@@smaytaganya1446 yep

Yup therapy is needed

They prolly feel that way because of what they were put thru at the hands of black women in their family but no one ever wants to talk about that.

@@demarcushunt6463 that's why yall need therapy

Nothing wrong with that

Yeah genes are weird

How do you feel like the world viewed your family? I'm asking cuz my family is different colors too. A lot of kids would assume my mother was my nanny bcuz as a child I was so close to white skin and my mother is brown skin.

Light skinned women always think they are preferred in the white community just bc of their light skin. Newsflash there are people of light/white complexions all over the white community, they are seeing nothing new and "exotic" when they see you. That's why when they date us girls of color they usually choose the darker ones like me and you. She thought she ate

If that's you on your profile pic then you will surely get married, you're gorgeous and I wish I could tell all the dark-skinned Asians that because they are💖.

@@_osame8645 she is just trying to play victim.There is no way she would have trouble getting married

Fr She is.

Try not to worry too much. I went to a majority black school and I wasn't black girls preference at the time. I didn't feel desired until I started dating 'others'. Now black women are very much interested. Some of us are late bloomers

@@ahmorgan i see what you mean, honestly its just sad that racism exists lol

@@nimbusthegoat yeah it's so fucking stupid. In a way though, dealing with that shit at a young age can be a good thing. Adversity builds character, you'll be better prepared to deal with the bs of this world as you get older. But it definitely sucks. I know how stupid boys can be (I was one). Some of us are straight ignant...not much you can really do honestly at that point but recognize that these fools don't define who you are

What's your point? (I'm curious)

It's true for me, I come in many shades. There has been a plenty of times where I couldn't wear my normal makeup during the summer because I'm 4x darker.😂🤣 I am Brown BTW.

@@thatawesomewoman5389 yeah. There are photos from when I was a child and I have really darkened orange/brown skin but now my skin is the shade of Zendaya's

@@burntsoup huh?

@@burntsoup oh aright thank you for breaking it down I’m slow sometimes

Tanning is natural bleaching isn’t lol

@@PossibleBat No, not natural tanning. I mean chemical tanning like the ones in bottles and putting on tanning iron it’s the intent to get darker.

@@burntsoup I agree, thank you for the explanation

The reason why I put mixed people in this is bc some mixed people are dark or brownskin and they face way more discrimination than a fully black person who's lightskin, some mixed people are seen and treated as black in the society, they just get no privilege from being mixed, so I think it's ok for them to identify as black. For example, Ryan Destiny is mixed and ain't nobody see her as such. Let's not forget that being mixed does not equal being light.

@@melaninhub7467 i understand what you saying but I was just explaining why black people have problem it , I do not discredited the struggles that mixed people go through or deny the fact they are part of the black community, its important for people to understand where the each other's view points are coming from or else we won't get anywhere.

Ofc :)

Well, that's not a problem anymore. The world has accepted people like Beyonce and Barak Obama are Black. And I know I do not represent dark people but I won't take anybody telling me I'm not Black

I assume you're talking about mixed black people? Like, 1 white parent and 1 black parent.

When do blacks appropriate Asian culture? I've only seen other races appropriate to Black culture becuz being Black is so "cool". I've seen Groups like Blackpink appropriate Black culture but never the other way around

@@milanihall9909 1. Don't refer to black people as "blacks" it's out dated and it sounds gross. 2. Alot of black women participated in the chopsticks in the hair and wearing "asian costumes".
