For real Shaunda. It's crazy how much we go out of our way to support them and they sneak diss us like this. Not saying all biracial Black entertainers do this, BUT it's common. I am seeing the pattern.
Just add, really depends if you are male or female. The male when "pure" black or that identifies himself as black (dark skin one) normally they are more famous and easily recognisable than the mixed/light skinned; very different from the female with dark skin complexion.
Not 100% true.I've seen & heard quite a few black people express resentment towards bi racial anything..but,I'm certain it's nor a large percentage.Times have changed considerably.
In regards to HER, mixed children grow up with Black folk and their Black daddies gassing them up as better looking people compared to monoracial Black children. So they grow up with delusional superiority complex. I think HER talks about her Filipino side more because if you look at her, she doesn’t give that stereotypical mixed look. She looks just Black. So in special cases like hers, she wants to emphasize she’s not JUST Black.
Definitely true I grew up with mixed race with either a black father or a black mother and each black parent they had always made them think they were superior to black children that were darker skinned and have strong African phonetype features
i'm not surprised H.E.R made those tweets (and probably still thinks the same way) back then. her mum being filipino and her dad being black pretty much explains everything. anti-blackness and putting mixed-raced/light skinned people on a pedestal breeds weird behaviour like that. i wonder how she feels about the little coverage and appreciation she gets in the filipino community. lol, i guess she's not better than anyone 💀. as for chika, i only know a little about her but she's still a sad case lol.
meanwhile she running around here looking like a whole black woman no one I mean no one I know thought she was even mixed and when I told him that her mom was Filipino they was shocked and flabbergasted like wait Only when you see her younger pictures you're like okay yes she absolutely look mixed
Ding, ding, ding! You said the truth! I hope H.E.R. changed the way she thinks, but who knows. She has been silent when it comes to her negative online activities. SMH🤦🏾♂️….
I agree with you . We need to add saweetie in this video for her problematic comments as well , while she have the same mixed race as her . The chinky or chic girl I always hated her , she just need help …
Ugh where would I begin. I don't like Chika because her personality is just horrible and the fact she disrespects parents kids is just rude. I don't care if she got mental health or issues that don't mean to be rude about anything or anybody. As for H.E.R I am surprised because she shows off as a peaceful person. I am just curious as to why she put it under the rug instead of addressing/apologizing to her fans that look up to her.
Chika has a lot of reflecting to do. It doesn’t make sense because she’s a conscious rapper, but conscious rappers are not perfect too. As for H.E.R., I want her to address the controversies too, but I know she’s not. It’ll have to go viral to the point that she’s pressured into addressing her blasian mixing fetish. I said “blasian mixing fetish” because that’s the best way to describe those 2014 tweets🤣!
I know a mixed girl with a superiority complex and it’s unattractive Her dad is white but she was raised by her black mom It makes me uncomfortable sometimes
😳 like..can we talk about it…? Had a NUMBER of encounters with these kind of chicks, and not to mention the act of using their close proximity to whiteness as a flex and or in some cases, a weapon when they feel like you aren’t kissing their ass enough & don’t you DARE be fully black and decent looking, you’re basically asking to be targeted
nice discussion.🙌🏿 i'm honestly not shocked at h.e.r.'s antiblkness as this is unfortunately common among mixedrace people. what i do agree with is mixedrace people who are part blk actually acknowledging their nonblk side as we often never see this among them, especially when antiblk mixedrace people are often the main ones who utilize their blk american side to excuse their antiblkness. disclaimer: this will ruffle feathers.🥴 i want to mention that saying "biracial blk" is an oxymoron as one can be either biracial (even when having blk admixture) or blk. basically, one can't be bi/multi/polyracial & monoracial at the same time. it also reinforces double standards as no one ever says "biracial azn(which h.e.r. is)" or "biracial hwite."
Her is half Filipino and from the Bay Area. It’s most people that are colorist out in Cali. It’s really bad. I had experienced so much anti blackness there.
@@stephanielove2662 I knew she's half Filipino before watching the video, which was also mentioned in the video if you haven't watched it yet. i know people from cali tend to be antiblk AF.💀 in my experience, I grew up in the baltimore md metropolitan area & the antiblkness i experienced was INSANE...still is to this day.😭 mixedrace people are definitely pedestalized here(as they are in every predominantly blk american space) but I experienced antiblkness from them as a result. even as adults, there's still obvious tension...it's so ridiculous.🤦🏿♀️
@@theuncensoredaboriginal don't start...with basic critical thinking skills, u would know that simply having admixture(all races have this) is entirely different from being mixedrace(doesn't apply to all races.)🥴
@@ihateyouall9940 That person is trolling and acting dense. I am not even going to respond back to that person. I am tired of these people bringing up little mixtures here and there. It’s ridiculous. We all know what is a Black person versus a mixed-race person😭💯
I think her father is a colorist too. I didn’t want to say it in the video though. Otherwise, I would have to say “allegedly,” or something along those lines🫠…
I honestly thought H.e.r was a full-blown black woman until I saw her on like Jimmy Kimmel show when she was talking about her dad was Filipino and I'm like huh I had to Google that s*** Like b**** I thought you was a whole black woman
The “Chika, Chika,Chika,…” is sending me! 😂 Gosh I’m so shocked with Chika I really like her music and I loved her vibe she felt so uplifting, I never even knew any of this, gosh damn…
I'm a fan of HER's music, but I don't know much about her personal ideology and stance on Blackness. I have noticed in a couple of her interviews that she talks about her Filipino side. I wonder if she addresses it because -- unless a person knows her background -- most folks may automatically think that she is monoracial. She may think that there's nothing to explain about her Blackness, because it's pretty apparent that it's a part of her heritage. She is also an artist whose whole musical persona is drenched in Blackness. So, she may speak more about her Filipino heritage, so that folks can know that it is a part of her ethnic makeup and because there isn't much Filipino representation in U.S. entertainment. As for her 'Black and Asian folks make the prettiest babies' Tweets, yes, that's a tired mindset that many folks who are mixed race -- and not -- believe. Hopefully, she has progressed in her thinking.
As far as HER, I'm kinda glad I'm learning this now and not when those EPs came out 😂. I was (still am) a HUGE fan of those EPs/demos she released. As a music/R&B head, I think it's some of the best alternative/contemporary r&b of our generation and because of that I was OBSESSED with her 😂. Great music and I loved the sexy, mysterious persona. With that being said, I hate the album. Most disappointing debut album ever 😂 (tied w Tinashe IMO). The collab with CB was the first red flag for me. Then the album came out and all the lil rappers on there irked my nerve. It's just such a bad album it broke my heart 😂 I haven't been able to forgive her yet and learning about those tweets didn't help. We're the same age and at that time I was very aware of colorism, racism, xenophobia, etc so idk 😕 sure her parents probably set her up for the ignorance but if imma be a fan, I want you to be intelligent enough to think for yourself and see thru the bs. Or once you learn better, be as public with your new thoughts as you were with the bullsh!t back in the day. And the fact that she hasn't addressed any of those things yet and has worked with some of the people she's worked with makes me feel like, even if she was to come out and address the problematic past, she wouldn't be doing it sincerely, she'd be doing it for optics. Bc black ppl, *blk women* are paying her bills and she gotta save face.
Thank you so much for saying your honest opinion on H.E.R. I liked the album believe it or not lol! Only a few of the songs sounded bad or okay to me. I was going to mention the Chris Brown collaborations because she collaborated with him a bunch of times. Plus, his track record on you know what…. Then, I thought, “Let me focus on these Tweets and IG comments.” You do make a valid point about knowing better as an adolescent. If H.E.R. apologized due to backlash, it wouldn’t be sincere to most Black people. Depending how she apologizes, it can make, or break her career💯
I hope H.E.R has grown and changed her mindset… As for Chika maybe she low key hates herself she needs to see a therapist to help her work through her issues…
I hope H.E.R. changed for the better and Chika goes to therapy. She talked about it in a few of her tweets. I think she needs to volunteer and do additional hobbies. That may help her work on her ego.
Biracial Black isnt really a thing. Biracials have a unique identity that should stop being lumped into one racial origin, especially black. Biracial is biracial period.
I agree with you. I been using the term for the past few months because of mixed with Black people preferring that phrase. I am thinking about using biracial or mixed with Black only again. I see that folks want me to not use the phrase, so I am going to change that😭
@@JulianSteve I think how you are approaching that makes sense. I definitely do understand that you were just emphasizing biracial people with a black parent. But too many people will say biracial Black and mean it as a black person. Thank you for the comment.
@@ola44445 biracial are their own distinctive racial group. People with 2 black parents are REAL BLACK PEOPLE. Stop lumping biracial people in a category they don't belong in, their distinct racial identity should be respected. And feeling or being raised in black culture doesn't mean someone is black either. Don't play semantics.
didn't know much about these artist, but the Chika stuff had me laughing cause it was so petty. I feel like she probably feels powerless even though it seems like shes making the right moves for her career, and is taking it out on the wrong demographic (the babies :( ).
Great analysis, Saxviars! I think that is Chika’s problem too. It’s funny that you mentioned her career because her debut album comes out late July. I just found out last night after I completed the video😭🫠….
Great vids julien I really stopped Chika a long time ago I remember when she first began popular she went on a whole rant on Twitter talking about how black Americans culturally appropriating from African culture by wearing African attire at afro punk festivals in NYC but then in 2021 when SNL got backlash for their Gen Z hospital sketch where they were appropriating AAVE she came on Twitter to claim AAVE is for every black person outside of the black American community and got rightfully so dragged and her anti black American sentiments got brought up. From then on I’ve stopped rocking her and always saw as a nasty rude person who weaponize her mental illness to default from taking personal responsibility and growth for her issues so I wasn’t surprised or shocked on how she went off tiny’s grandkids it was definitely on brand for her. I feel Chika needs to stop being on social media and focus on improving her mental health whenever she’s going though a episode/moment it’s always better to express yourself in ways that are much healthier than ranting on Twitter knowing you are a big celebrity
KEVINNNNNNNNNNNN😭! I didn’t know about Chika saying anti-Black American sentiments. I wished I look deeper on Lip Stick Alleyway to find the screenshots. I bet she posted A LOT on Twitter when she was ranting. Or there must be articles somewhere? This video would’ve been easily 30 - 35 minutes long. Thank you for pointing this out👏🏾!
@@JulianSteve no problem her fighting with black Americans over the usage of AAVE is still up I think she made her Twitter public again not sure but yup she had a history of being mean to black Americans and using her Nigerian identity as a reason for it
@@Kevin-rg3ycmaybe it's a result of her childhood/teenage trauma...let's be honest, growing up a darkskin African fat black girl who's queer is extremely HARDT, especially when majority of your peers are cishet, black american, non-darkskin, etc.😭nonetheless, she's just as wrong as those who have traumatized her.
16:36 I love your content so much Julian I apologize for so many comments 😂in all your videos but I agree with you again . Mixed ethnicities & races ppl need to live both side equally and not pick which one they live more & to add in nor try to profit off the one side that’s more relevant in finances .
I can understand that Chika would have this bitter, antagonistic mindset because society does not treat people who look like her well, at all. But, to become a public, well known hater and mean person does anything but make it easier for you in life. She acts like someone who has unchecked mental health/childhood trauma issues. As far as "HER" I had no idea she was mixed race but I've never been a huge fan anyhow. People like her who say those things while still a minor usually have anti-black parents to begin with and they have heard the horrible comments from those people all their lives. If you are confident you don't have to put others down. Who knows if she does not think that way. It doesn't seem plausible that she would be welcomed in the Asian/Filipino community as she has been in the black community so I would tread lighly if I were her.
I’m sure H.E.R still feels the same way she just got sense enough and have been admonished by her public relations people to keep her mouth shut or talk a lot about her blackness for her fan base. ( predominately black) After all….. that’s her bag. I’m not surprised at this and not only do and Asians are not the other group of people who look down on their blood being mixed with blacks….. All other races do too. Only black peoples idolize their blood being mixed, because of our self-hatred for our hair, lips, wide noses and darker skin tones. This won’t stop, until we continue to breed ourselves out and we can become Europeans. Lol
That is crazy she said that buttttt I’m going to give her a pass bc she she was a child. A teenager, but a child. If we all got held accountable for stuff we said as kids we would all be cancelled. Her did say that she wasn’t black enough for the black kids so that may be part of it.
Chika’s behavior is disappointing especially when she had a lot of folks rooting for her. Nothing can excuse the disgusting posts about kids; however, I do feel most folks feel they can post any and everything they think and feel on Twitter. I used to be the same way until coworkers spying on my page saw what I was writing about them. That’s when I realized it’s a public forum and not a diary/journal to vent about everything that’s going on in my life and work. I hope she continues to seek help and learn to monitor what she posts on social media since she is an entertainer and public figure. As for H.E.R., friends of mine don’t like that I’ve always felt something disingenuous about her (pun intended). Even the pro-Black song that won her an Oscar felt performative to me. I feel HER, like Donald Glover, recognizes that appearing pro-Black is marketable at this moment but they’re totally different behind closed doors. Her being biracial has opened doors for her in the industry that are shut to Black (non-Biracial) women especially dark-skinned Black women. I believe she is super talented but her persona comes off as fake to me. Anywhoo lol great video once again Mr. Julian.
Thank you for being honest and sharing your advice on social media posting, Johnie! I agree with you. I am learning little by little with how much I share online. It gets hard as a content creator, but I know when it’s time to chill out. My friends and family keep me together😭 Chika needs your advice for sure! As for H.E.R., I get what you’re saying. The song that she won the Oscar for is good, but performative. Plus, the timing of the release was during the BLM movement. I’m happy for H.E.R. and her co-writers winning their Oscars though.
@@JulianSteve you’ve convinced me to give the Oscar song another chance 😄 I’ll listen to it to see if my mind has changed about it. The tweets you showed in the video confirmed what I always felt about HER tho. She recognizes that biracial people are fetishized and Black men have boosted her ego for being biracial. She’s young tho so she still has room to grow just like Chika ❤️
14:28 Julian I agree with you . And I also agree I blame her parents all & mostly all I blame in situations like this is all the parents with half black kids that be biracial, triracial, & multiracial . Because all theses types of self hate & anti blackness comes from within the home with parents. Than with the racism the ⚪️ ppl created in the whole world and modern day Society but I most definitely hold parents accountable for the identity crisis the mixed Homo sapiens go through and I am tired of the black shaming , like we ask to be in chattel slavery and modern day slavery
Don’t! That wasn’t the goal of the video. It’s more of an awareness thing. Some folks think that H.E.R.’s “Black revolutionary”, but her online activities say otherwise…. I am listening to H.E.R.’s music still. However, it’s good to acknowledge when someone that you engage with their music has done extremely questionable things. Whether online, in person, or both. These tweets and IG comments were extremely anti-black🫠…
Clicked for the H.E.R. tea. irdgaf about Chika. Her foul, immature statements preceded her music, and I have no patience for ppl who talk about others how she does esp at her big age. tbh I think the snippets you put in this video is my first time hearing any of her music.
Your points about antiblackness are weak here. Her IS MIXED who wouldnt say good things about WHO THEY ARE. Im a dark skinned black man. I say stuff like dark skins are better and stuff like that alll the time.
@@Jay-jb2vrI hope one day those biracial black people are accepted in their 'other' communities as black people do. I wonder if @gretchengeorge5302 has ever heard of recessive gene theorem?
Thank you Julian again for making amazing content video again. We definitely need you to have a podcast on all theses topics and call it from a pro black perspective. And call out all the anti blackness in our community, race & culture as a whole . The chinka girl i never 👎 liked her I never knew who she was until she was taking bout tiny grandchild bad . And far as her the singer she always gave me I think I am better than you vibes and she gave me that I am better than you biracial vibes when she did a youtube video on ice box telling them she was biracial they told her they didn’t know that because they thought she was only black she telling them in a cocky way that I personally felt that she has a filipino women as well getting her chain in her Filipino sun ☀️. That’s why I am not shock by HER comments.
