wtf you be talkin bout dude!!!! You a real loser bruh!!!! You think you can speak misinformation and Nicki. And her family get away with it!!!! I promise you this…. I ever see you in person , It’s UP!! NO JOKE!!
Justin can we please stop making Blackness a winter coat??. 2 Black parents makes you Black. That's all. Hopefully nobody failed their high school Biology and Math classes and can understand that
Caitlin’s team literally lost TWICE and she literally gets treated like she a winner. Imagine if it was a Black woman , she would’ve been treated so nasty.
Caitlin Clark’s appeal was being yt people’s answer to Angel Reese. That’s it. Angel’s talent and confidence in such got people to start searching for the white counterpart. Stuff like her brother and other family members social media posts also helps😐. There’s a reason why they didn’t hitch their wagon onto Paige (who has a black step-mother). If a white woman who could step to Sha’Carri existed, it would’ve been the same thing.
Especially when you know this ONE country is not getting it and it’s causing too much controversy vs her talent. Charlemagne knew that question wasn’t to be asked and disrespected that young lady anyways smh. Another thing, a lot of ppl take one clip without even researching if it’s been spoken about before. If they did, they would see that this has already been answered, and that’s why her and her team decided to leave that question alone. WE need to LEARN about OUR REAL roots, instead of being so one track minded
Tyla better pick a side and it better be the Indian closest to white FORGET CLAIMING AFRICA IF YOU WANT AMERICAN FAME DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM AFRICA......KEEP WATCHING👀
@@niyah_jordan3147 Absolutely agree. A lot of people are being willfully obtuse at this point 🙄🙄🙄. Dang like so many people including Tyla herself have explained this on different platforms
I told mine the same. I told them don't come to me like a baby bird with your mouth open after you eat everything up in two days. My 14 year old son waits until I go to bed and he give that refrigerator light hell. The next I be like alright now. You better be easy.
@@Nina2598-k5x Who exactly are you mad at? 😂 Her, the people who have propelled her to where she is (record execs), or the fans? lol because to my knowledge the girl has quite literally only existed (no problematic statements to date) and people are ready to claw her down because she was born….and exists.
The Black people in South Africa don’t see her as black, but coloured. She and her parents are mixed/ multi-ethnic. I’m a Canadian-Jamaican & when I look at them to me they look West Indian/ Cooley. Depending on where you are from people categorize everyone differently. At the end of the day we are all human & for the past 21 years she has identified & has been called a coloured person.
@@tybooskie Ah yes, because she forced her way onto the breakfast club. Did she or did she not address in her response that she understands how she’s viewed in America? Your response has a certain kind of vitriol behind it like she’s said something problematic lol.
I knew about the colored term because a person I know went to South A for Mandelas inauguration. She’s a creole light skinned woman and she was confused as to why she was called colored and they explained how race is called out there. She’s a black woman just light skinned, Tyla is mixed ethnicity and is somehow considered the same race in South Africa as a full black light skinned woman. The world loves to get at Black Americans for how we see race and the terms we use, but that is our perspective and it’s valid just like hers is valid.
I just wanted to say I got 10 panel tested and my blood work! It is very important and I wish more content creators would start bringing this topic back up in our community. Wishing everyone a great weekend ❤
Americans need to understand that they don't force mixed and biracial people to identify as black in many foreign countries. I hope it is over between Nicki Minaj & her husband, she's been on a downward spiral since she married him.
Americans really need to get this understanding. The world does not evolve around us and how we deal with "race". South Africa has their own history. The only people complaining about how she chooses to identify that I can see is black Americans.
Can you see inside of marriage to know this. Or are you assuming this from the position of her actions within her career. Her husband was never her downfall. Without him there would have been no Nicki. They have a long history
Many Americans do understand the concept of a person being mixed or biracial. Often times those of us that do accept it, even insist that the distinction be made (in the name of proper representation for everyone). Unfortunately, people often jump down our throats for being “divisive” when we do that, including non-Americans. It gets annoying that on Beyonce’s internet people think it’s okay to address Americans as a monolith. But we’d be “ignorant” if we addressed whole nations as a monolith ourselves, right? Address Charlamagne for being the one who asked the question in this instance. Unless he just became the spokesperson for all Americans & I missed the memo.
@@LoveMera_x evidently she does too. She's on black platforms trying to appeal to a black audience. Stop coming into black spaces if they don't want to answer those questions. Whites and Indians would appreciate her. I'm sure
@@renaissancewoman100she’s a pop star doing media runs wth is wrong with yall 😂😂😂 she’s promoting her music which she sings in her native language dances in that way too. What about her is appealing to us? Y’all problem with claiming ppl is your problem. She’s an artist full stop let not be delusional now
It’s crazy to me I’m a black American and I feel this issue with Tyla and her race is sooo stupid. Us as AMERICANS do need to understand that the concept of race in the states doesn’t hold everywhere else! There are many parts of the world where u won’t even hear people being referred to as black. As much grace as we want from folks to understand we should do the same cause it has been many people for months being really off putting towards SA culture due to the whole “colored” concept and it’s nothing but division
@@Melmel1231whatever, many of these outside cultures are trash such as this coloured nonsense. It’s divisive and confusing. Charlemagne asked a simple question. Hell Amber Rose stand on what she is.
Black people prefer to support Black artists. Tyla isn't Black so I can understand why lots of Black Americans are annoyed she's being pushed in their spaces. It's like all the other nonblack women who've tried to break into Black media and failed. Personally I'd rather support a Black African artist.
That's my little problem about the pushing of her. She's not back, but she's clearly performing music that is of or close to black Africans. There are so many other black African artists who make much better music than her, but she is another small, racially ambiguous woman being pushed to the forefront.
Y’all are celebrating lot of biracial ppl but won’t allow tyla in those spaces cause she is multiracial??? ( it’s not her fault that in South Africa she is classified as colored woman instead of black woman)
@@Opbabyyx cardi is from the bronx lol. Hip hop was founded there. Also use the search bar as cardi receives all the hate for not being black. Also Cardi is loved for her personality. That's where she's exceptional. Tyla is beautiful and sassy with no substance or quick wit.
Thank you. That’s a great point about the Tyla question. We need to know where people stand. That’s Drake’s problem now. And as a Black American myself, seeing the internet and other cultures calling us stupid for “not understanding other cultures” is disappointing. We not ignorant but to your point in America we do need to know how you feel about certain things.
No y’all are ignorant and it’s annoying. The world does not revolve around America 🇱🇷. Race is a social construct and has different meanings in different countries their own history. Her calling herself ‘coloured’ is due to South Africa’s own history with an apartheid and the terms that they use there. she explain this before and black Americans got upset so I don’t blame her for not wanting to talk about it anymore because it annoy you. Since you think the world revolves around you.
@@LoveMera_x he ask her a question. She could have said that and educated the audience. She had a choice. She chose not to and here we are. But we do like to know. 🤷🏾♀️
It’s not just black Americans it’s black people from the Americas in general bc in the carribean we feel the same way. We were taught about the atrocities black people face in America and taught to understand what blackness meant.
@@LoveMera_xok but she’s not in South Africa. You’re in America and if you want to come to America and market yourself to black people clairfy who you are and stand on it. Bc if you’re coloured you shouldn’t be trying to represent black people in essence magazine.
@@octayajones4173did you read what I said ?? she’s explained this MULTIPLE times and she gets backlash every-time! It’s exhausting so she doesn’t wanna about it anymore. The breakfast club had a list of topics to not talk about and he asked her anyway to be messy, that’s why her publicist stepped in. Why aren’t you mad at the breakfast club for not respecting her boundaries ????
He doesn't want her to claim black. He wants her to be who ahe is. She's cosplaying black for 💵. He's saying he would prefer to support someone who is black.
She needs to continue standing her ground on this because South Africa has it right, if you ask me She’s not going to deny the other parts of her heritage to pacify people and that’s great Her ancestors must be proud 🤣

Idk…I kinda agree with Tyla. I feel like she’s darned if she does, darned if she doesn’t. I find it refreshing that she doesn’t claim Blackness as so many other racially ambiguous women do. I also think it’s because Tyla doesn’t appropriate Black American culture; of course she has to tap into that audience because we know we’re a huge consumer in this country and the globe beyond. So, I’m not mad at her. I think she’s made it clear who she is and how she identifies.
Coloured in South Africa is a race it’s not an “identity” or slur as it is considered in the US. Black and brown people in other countries have been saying for a while now that the way mixed people are viewed outside of the US is different. We have to stop telling everyone that has black mixture in them are black because it’s just not true…and then when those mixed girls benefit from representing black women it’s an issue. Coco Jones, Normani are 2 beautiful black young ladies, Tyla is a multi-generationally mixed (with more than black and white) lady. They are not the same. Here another way to think of it…the term black in the US is a racial classification, Coloured in SA is a racial identification. “Colored”in the US is viewed as bad that’s why we are triggered. They aren’t the same.
I have been following you for years now and you are an inspiration to me. I just wanted to add my input on Tyla bc I'm biracial and I have a different perspective than you. I feel that America has made these racial constructs that are rooted in hatred and anti-blackness but we adhere to them as if it is our true identity. I get tired of answering that question too and I'm from Florida shiiddddd. I think she explained it well in her post, trying to explain the racial constructs in Africa (once again based on racism) and where she falls/identifies within them. Yall can't be mad at Tyla for doing what we as Americans do as well. A person gets tired of trying to defend their blackness. I can't speak for Tyla but my mother is a black woman, so America dictates I'm black as well. However, people see me and don't believe I'm black they assume I'm spanish. It's very annoying and frustrating. I don't think you can understand this if you are not biracial.
The breakfast club is well aware of colored folks in 🇿🇦 they have had Trevor Noah as a guest many times n he spoke about the racial distinctions in South Africa Furthermore the breakfast club as a show is supposed to do their research
Charlamagne is the same, who said to Amara la Negra that he didn't know colorism existed is latin America and didn't give any empathy to Amara. Tyler may not be aware of the nuances associated with colorism and race in America @theorderofthebees7308
Black people in the U.S don't understand that "colored" in South Africa has a different meaning than what "colored" meant in the U.S in the 50s and 60s.
To me, how the South Africans view it, is logical. Is someone is half black, why would you just call them black? It’s not the same. For something to be the same, they’d have to be able to be use interchangeably. If a person who’s mixed with black equals black, then a black personality equals mixed… which obviously is incorrect. Sthat means they are not the same. Colored makes so much sense, it’s kind of like poc for people who are of color but not specifically just black.
Thank you so much for this video. I was getting tired of hearing everybody's nonsense on these topics. You're literally the first voice of reason I've come across. Sending love.
Tired of people tryna bully tyla into saying she’s black. They don’t do the one drop rule over there. She’s gone her whole life saying she’s colored soooo
Colored is a slur in America, we don't use those terms so we are thrown off by that and asking a new artist to clarify things about themselves in an interview is normal, normalllllllllll
@@FearNOMortals she should. in fact, she should stay away from certain people and circles. her team is messing up. she has Africa and Asia at her feet, she has lots of fans in Latin America and Europe too. that is where I would promote heavily. trying to appeal to black americans is gonna be the death of her career. her team needs to wake up if they don't want to fumble
@@FearNOMortalsyou are projection you world view on to her. She is culturally African, indian, and irish. For her its not black and white. Your experience isnt her experience. The world doesnt work the same way the US does and that include racism. Racism is different and attributed differently in every society. Stop projecting
👏👏👏 You made great points about the Tyla situation. I think it’s deeper than most ppl think or want to admit. She did say”they never had a pretty girl from Joburg, see me now and that’s what they “prefer” There is a clear distinction between the Blacks and Coloured ppl in SA. I think she could’ve just said that she is mixed. In America these questions will come up especially when an artist is trying to gain a Black audience which I assume she’s doing,hence why she’s doing an interview at the Breakfast Club.
He did not make good points and was ignorant as hell in this conversation. Yall are projecting colourism onto this conversation. This is down to Americans ignorance about other cultures
@@LoveMera_x get a life and get from under my post. We all have opinions. You can go post yours under your own thread. You’re jumping under every post, like a psycho. I don’t care about what you have to say. He made great points! You don’t like it oh damn well. No one is projecting a damn thing.
@@LoveMera_x no, this is down to ppl from other countries coming into blk American spaces, onto blk platforms & posing for blk magazines... staying silent when their stans crap on the very audience they try to profit from. we're tired of the tethering, of foreigners assuming that they can carry their culture's customs into the USA bc Americans 'should' adapt to their ways. we don't want to nor should we have to, but then y'all cry ignorant lol.
The thing is South Africa has a completely different look at who can say they're black and who can't. She's not allowed to call herself black when it comes to South Africa. To be black in South Africa your family has to associated with a specific tribe...
Coloured people are literally their own tribe, with a history in this country. Her race is coloured and she was raised in coloured culture 😊 She didn't just pick coloured out of a bag cause "she can't say she's black here"
Facts. If she were to refer to herself as black, she would be offending the black ppl from S.A. The term coloured is not offensive in S.A. Coloured South Africans have their own culture. Tyla is simply owning who she is and where she comes from.@k.m512
It would have been nice if she explained this and took the time to inform those who are not from South Africa who have no fvckn clue what all of that means…she could’ve took us to South Africa…heyy Tyla 👋🏽
I understand that you would like Tyla to answer the questions about her race each time. Truth is, she has already talked about it multiple times. Some people just want her to be black so bad, but she's not. I also think it benefits BW when mixed ppl do not identify as blk. That's how Rachel Dolazel finessed ppl, cos everyone can be blk. Also, Tyla is trying to appeal more to ⚪️ audiences. Most of her interviews are with yt news outlets. She's trying to blend in with everyone.
You had me at the first half, but you're wrong about the last half. Tyla is from South Africa. It has nothing to do with appealing to wyte people. Race is a social construct. In South Africa those constructs are different. Its really that simple.
@sorafanchick I didn't say she's calling her self colered 2 appease wyte ppl, I just see her going on more yt shows than blk. My comment was addressing all these blk ppl who think they are the center of the universe, and they are the reason tyla is trying to integrate the US market. She wants everyone to like her, but I see her put more effort with the ⚪️
You also need to understand that not everyone follows her to be able to see these interviews that she spoke on it on. I watch TBC, which is a large platform and I have never seen an interview of her, so her answering the question on their show should have been a priority which could’ve been the end of the conversation that she was looking for. Why avoid the things that are making you go viral?? Her team clearly doesn’t trust her not to mess it up. They are clearly trying to hide something. It’s weird.
Tyla is South African. They categorize people as black, white or coloured. Anyone of a mixed race is considered coloured. It’s not the same “colored” term as we use here in America. I don’t think Tyla needs to defend how she identifies in HER culture. People need to realize there are other ways of life and types of “black experiences” besides the Black America experience. The outrage is rooted in ignorance. And I say this as a black American who has been to both Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa and was caught off guard the first time I heard someone refer to themselves as coloured. Plus people need to realize Apartheid wasn’t that long ago. What we were going through in America in the 60s South African was still experiencing in the 90s.
and she needs to understand that the social policies in south Africa do not apply in the u.s, you do not go to another country and disregard the one thing ppl ask you to do because "the world doesn't revolve around you".
@@material-cheshirekhatter2413 no you people need to understand that you can't force someone to disavow their culture and heritage to make you comfortable. Who tf do you think you are? That's a real question btw.
I mean I’m Jamaican and I understand where black American people are coming from bc what everyone wants to know is why does it bother you so much that someone asked that question about your blackness. If you didn’t know anything about Tyla you’d assume she’s just a black girl. That would be the case in America, the UK, carribean Latin America etc. However she isn’t comfortable saying that so why then is she silent but finding her way onto covers at essence magazine and other black and black women focused articles and platforms? Why aren’t you on the “coloured” platforms. And btw if anyone wants to know the history of South Africa the coloured status was basically a reverse one drop rule. Bc the masses were black whites needed a barrier between them and the larger black population. So anyone whether they be 90% black and 10% white or 50% black or any percent who had any mix in them could be put into the coloured box and gain some social privileges over black people. That is why when apartheid ended millions of coloureds voted against apartheid ending. And why many to this day have extreme levels of internalized anti blackness. It’s almost like “not black anything but that”. It’s another form of willi lynch divide and conquer folks
Thank you! Finally, some nuance. It is not about thinking the world revolves around the US. It is that the "stupid" Black Americans consciously or subconsciously registered that.
Thank you❤. Im so tired of these ppl acting slow like they dont get what this is really about. Tbh most of us are wondering why is her mediocre ass being pushrod so heavily in black spaces when we don't know her or who she with. Were not rolling out no red carpet for her when we actually like Tems better ANYWAY.
Funny thing about the car: It was just me and my younger brother, but when the time came for cars, we each got the car my mother was driving and SHE got a new car 😳🥺🤣. I was still happy to have it, except when I had to start taking/picking my brother up and run errands for the parents 😅.
I understand what you’re saying. Because I feel like some light skinned people want to be black when it’s convenient. So we definitely need to know where they stand
Since you brought tht up, do you remember when Nicki came in the game how she called herself Asian and Indian? Never once said Blk girl until it was time to weaponize being Blk against Cardi? Do you remember how she called Kim nappy head and bubbles go bk to your habitat? Also said she’s foreign? Blk girl tragic bcuz ppl were questioning her relationship with her husband. Protect BW for her but not for Meg the girl tht was born in America.
Remember when Tiger Woods said he wasn't black, but was a bunch of mixed races?? Remember when Mariah Carey said she wasn't black but her dad was "black Brazilian"? But watch how they run to the black community when they get in trouble or need support!! "I'm not black, I'm O.J.!" Remember that??
All of this criticism and picking apart of a subject that has already been clearly addressed and explained is exactly why the girl didn’t want to answer the same question yet again. Whether she answered or not, it would have been an uproar because of how Black Americans are affected by colorism. So why answer a question that you’ve already answered multiple times, just because so many people missed it the first few times or because they’re personally offended by it? She’s being pushed to a wider global audience, not just “Black” people, but because she’s an Afro Beat artist, Black people automatically assume that they’re the intended demographic.
Black people should also stop teaching colorism to their kids. I'm very tired of this false blame we as a collective like too much to place on other people.
I honestly thought the same thing when I first saw Tyla I was instantly like okay another one, I’m dark skinned and I guess will never see a lot of dark skinned singers or rappers apparently
@@sonderexpeditionsthere's literally thousands of them. Listen to them instead of trying to force this girl to identify herself as black to please you..
Its convenient that people are welcomed with open arms into the black entertainment space beacuse of the AUDIENCE'S perception of their proximity to blackness, whether they themselves wanted the invitation to the cookout or not. They still BENEFIT from the proximity. This is the exact basis for the Drake outrage. We open the gate for Amber Roses and Doja Cats so they can take our coin but they don't pay no taxes on the access and its frankly tiring.
THIS. And these Africans think they're going to bully her into OUR LANES and act like were the slow ones that dont get it. Like nah, yall obviously dont understand GATEKEEPING. They will today though bc BLACK AMERICANs are tired of the disrespect.
Tyla has talked about it other times and it’s always caused somewhat of an up war so that’s why she didn’t want to talk about it since she already explained multiple times in different interviews
I definitely get where you are coming from with the Tyla situation. But in her defense, the more I looked in to it, it’s a cultural thing. I genuinely think due to where she is from and her overall makeup, she is technically not “black”. BUT, the way some Africans have been discussing it online with the low key dissing of black folks as a whole has me side eyeing a bit
Tyla is not looking like a victim at all. She want all to focus on her music but it’s obvious yall can’t. She said what she was the first time, yall just don’t listen cause it’s not what yall wanna hear.
@@SideEyeee_ she’s really not. We’re (American black people)the only ones worried about whether if she calls herself black or not she said she’s colored multiple times and she has different ethnicities in her. She look more Indian if anything. But who actually cares why aren’t yall talking about her music her album was pretty good btw.
In South Africa, Tyla would be considered "colored" because she does have some African and Indian heritage. In the U.S. she would be considered "black" because she has African heritage along with European heritage.
The thing you're forgetting is she's not "considered" as anything. She's South African and coloured, and everywhere she is she will remain a coloured Southa
Yes, get your blood work done!! Check your blood sugar levels,Check your cholesterol, and thyroid levels.there's other thing that's killing us other than STIs
Language plays a huge part what might be perceived in the USA as colorism its not the same meaning in the culture. She has to think really hard how she's going to translate what she is saying in modern American English.
Tyla is not for black ppl let’s be real. In one interview she even said she feels like she can be bigger than Rihanna. Girl you haven’t been out that long for that. It’s very clear she is for self.
People don't speak out against colorism (Tyla) or racism (Caitlin) because that's who they are. Just because its a celeb doesn't mean they are above society; rather they represent it and embody it. They are the problem/issue/system whatevs.
Tyla should’ve answered the question by giving context to Apartheid and the race definition system in SA so that people will have context and understand better. So…not sure if she will have the black support as much now.
She don’t know all that stuff. The girl was born in 2002. Yall putting so much responsibility on a 22 year old girl who just wants to sing and dance. If you wanna know more about the subject, do your own research. She has previously stated that she is Coloured in SA and black everywhere else. Why does everyone keep bringing this topic up?
@@camarathomas6552 But you aren’t a celebrity and your identity is not being scrutinised infront of the whole world as if it’s a sin. Listen, Tyla will have black support. Just watch this space. She is undeniable talented and nobody can stop someone with actual talent from succeeding. It’s impossible.
Apparently, coloured is a very specific ethic mix in south Africa 🇿🇦 i read it's Asian / African / European In the uk 🇬🇧 we call people of any racial / ethnic mix 'mixed race'. It's a separate category from black or white people like coloured seems to be in S.A
I would be inclined to agree with you on the Tyla situation had she not already answered this question multiple times. You say that “It’s just a simple question,” while the entire conversation around it online proves that it’s anything but.
I had to buy my first car, just to use for me to get a driver's license. Its a blessing to recieve anything. I've always had to do for myself. I'm the only child that had to buy myself my first car. I think she should be happy with the buick.
How is she black, when her dad is full Indian, and her mom is has a small amount of African in her!!??? At least she’s saying she’s colored. The girl isn’t black completely. If anything she’s Indian. She can claim Indian before anything…
As a Tswana woman (southern African), y'all in the USA need to gatekeep from these types Eg Amber Rose, they are not different from white supremacists back home. Anti blackness is rooted deep in the POC community. Gatekeep from Tyla, she is appropriating a black woman
You made a valid point that either way Tyla benefits from colourism & featurism. I’m a black South African woman and in South Africa she’s simply coloured, it’s really not that complicated. I have coloured people in my family (not biracial people but people of mixed heritage) and it’s not a big deal. I think the most annoying thing about the discourse is people refusing to understand that there are different racial classifications outside of America. The likes of Cardi B and Amber Rose would be classified as coloured in South Africa but we respect the fact that in America they’re considered as Black.
Stop assuming we don’t know there are different classifications WE GET IT….we literally are not stupid. It’s not about being confused that there are different classifications. We have mixed people here. We want to make sure that even though she identifies as colored does she accept her blackness or not. You all might not care in SA but here in America Black Americans care to ensure the people we place in high regard represent us.
@@GetIntoTheBLACK you may GET IT but a lot of people DON’T and you can tell from their takes and commentary. Not sure where you thought I’m getting assumptions from. She explicitly says that she is coloured in South Africa and she is a black woman.
@@GetIntoTheBLACKYou can literally find video from 2020 where she stated that she was coloured and specifically said that it means she is has several ancestry including Zulu. In that video she was showcasing her Zulu/black heritage. What more do yall want her to say?
I’m a firm believer in a starter car. For me, it has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with maturity and responsibility. I couldn’t drive worth a damn when I got my license 😂. I hit every curb there was my starter car wasn’t beat up or anything but it was a used cash car. I got upgraded when I graduated college though.
That's the thing. Most people who already hate her actually just don't want to support her, which they have the right to. But they need to look for a guilt-tripping approach by playing mind games they're actually bad at.
I like you I really do but Tyla proves the point we’ve been saying to you on the topic of mixed race people. One, where she’s from is going to dictate how she identifies. Simple we can’t be mad at that. Two, this is why it’s OK to let mixed race people identify as such. The majority of the black communities need to push her to call herself black ONLY is making us look desperate. Same when it was Meghan Markle. We can see them. We know they look different and benefit from that. Why are we acting like they wrong to call themselves what we see with our own eyes…..? Needing a person partially black to call themselves black as if the rest doesn’t exist, like other aspects of their ethnicity and race don’t influence how they move through the world is crazy. Coco Jones ain’t never have an issue saying she’s black WITHOUT an addendum , don’t nobody even ASK. And that should tell you all you need to know.
I mean tyla told us how she identify shes a colored south African woman 🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿i hate that we push American blackness on all brown ppl thats like telling a person from Jamaican they are not AFRO CARIBBEAN you are just black disregarding the culture and where they are from. Are they part of the African diaspora yes but we have to understand blackness is not a monolith and we say that all the time
@downwiththeclique7239 True, i admit that was a bad example,😅 i was only half way thinking about it but i feel like she said what she is, a colored south african woman. If that's what she is, i think we all should respect how she wishes to identify. I think that is the point i was trying to make and missing, LOL 😅😅
Do your research properly, Tyla is from South Africa n in South Africa she is classified has coloured a South African and she doesn't have a problem being identified black outside of South Africa
I am an South African and South African coloured and American “colored” are two different things . Coloureds in South Africa are regarded as mixed race but she is still black though . I think Americans need to research more about other cultures especially in Africa before coming to an defence mode .
Chile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Angel has me and all my daughters watching. And I agree -- she is moving the right way. Talking that talk too?!? The NBA needs to study this...😂
You’re slow they don’t even do that that’s why they created the terms FBA and ADOS. It’s literally because they acknowledge that there are other BLACK people besides Black Americans🙄
What bothers me is the way parents post their family business online for pats on the back from strangers. Kids are ungrateful sometimes. It sucks but it’s normal & they’ll get past it as they gain more life experience. You don’t need to invite the world in to dogpile on them. Don’t you have a friend you can call & vent to? Why are you on social media telling us about it? We should not should not know this much about your kids. That’s weird.

wtf you be talkin bout dude!!!! You a real loser bruh!!!! You think you can speak misinformation and Nicki. And her family get away with it!!!! I promise you this…. I ever see you in person , It’s UP!! NO JOKE!!
You hate Kenya with a passion! It’s pathetic!
Its blackness is it an typo?!😂
Justin can we please stop making Blackness a winter coat??. 2 Black parents makes you Black. That's all. Hopefully nobody failed their high school Biology and Math classes and can understand that
Caitlin’s team literally lost TWICE and she literally gets treated like she a winner. Imagine if it was a Black woman , she would’ve been treated so nasty.
BIG FACTS
It's a whole different level of gaslighting true fans are calling out and will continue.
Caitlin Clark’s appeal was being yt people’s answer to Angel Reese. That’s it. Angel’s talent and confidence in such got people to start searching for the white counterpart. Stuff like her brother and other family members social media posts also helps😐. There’s a reason why they didn’t hitch their wagon onto Paige (who has a black step-mother).
If a white woman who could step to Sha’Carri existed, it would’ve been the same thing.
Good point. I hate humans….
Good point
Great analysis .
Agreed
Clock it
She’s talked about it 100 times and got backlash each time. I’d be tired of answering that question too. She’s human
Especially when you know this ONE country is not getting it and it’s causing too much controversy vs her talent. Charlemagne knew that question wasn’t to be asked and disrespected that young lady anyways smh. Another thing, a lot of ppl take one clip without even researching if it’s been spoken about before. If they did, they would see that this has already been answered, and that’s why her and her team decided to leave that question alone. WE need to LEARN about OUR REAL roots, instead of being so one track minded

Tyla better pick a side and it better be the Indian closest to white FORGET CLAIMING AFRICA IF YOU WANT AMERICAN FAME DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM AFRICA......KEEP WATCHING👀
Exactly
@@niyah_jordan3147 Absolutely agree. A lot of people are being willfully obtuse at this point 🙄🙄🙄. Dang like so many people including Tyla herself have explained this on different platforms
We all should get food stamps with this economy .
I qualified for food stamps in the amount of $16!!! $16 whole dollars!! I live in broke ass Mississippi 😢
All jokes aside
@@rucianapollard7098 that’s insane ! Why do think they qualified you for only 16 bucks
Then fix the economy through the vote. Vote for your pocket not colour
@bintimkitosi6187 what does "color" have to do with foodstamps?
Tyla shouldn't have gone to the breakfast club to begin with. It was never going to end well. I understand why they thought it would a good idea.
I have two kids and I let them know..if you eat everything today you going to be starving until I go back to the store next week.
You sound like my mama did lol
My parents used to say the same thing 😂😂😂😂
This is so me! My 10 year old acts a fool back and forth in the pantry. Okay sir, you gone be hungry until I go back to the store in a week.
I told mine the same. I told them don't come to me like a baby bird with your mouth open after you eat everything up in two days. My 14 year old son waits until I go to bed and he give that refrigerator light hell. The next I be like alright now. You better be easy.
I just told my 6 year old " eat all them chips won't be anymore for a whole lot of weeks"😂😂😂
She coloured. She added black to avoid backlash. I wish folks would let that drop go and let mixed people be mixed.
Tyla gave a good response online, I wish she could have said that during the interview. Interviewers are supposed to ask the tough questions.
She’s nit black idc wat her response was she’s privileged byee
@@Nina2598-k5x Who exactly are you mad at? 😂 Her, the people who have propelled her to where she is (record execs), or the fans? lol because to my knowledge the girl has quite literally only existed (no problematic statements to date) and people are ready to claw her down because she was born….and exists.
@@Nina2598-k5x lmaooo you're saying bye like the person asked you to respond LOLLLLL
The Black people in South Africa don’t see her as black, but coloured. She and her parents are mixed/ multi-ethnic. I’m a Canadian-Jamaican & when I look at them to me they look West Indian/ Cooley. Depending on where you are from people categorize everyone differently. At the end of the day we are all human & for the past 21 years she has identified & has been called a coloured person.
@@Nina2598-k5xyou’re so emotional it makes you sound insecure
3 videos within 24 hours?? yesss❤️❤️
Right!
one for every meal 👌🏾
The thing with Tyla comes down to americans not understanding that the rest of the world doesn't view race the way they do.
This is literally the only point to be made lol
Or she's in AMERICA trying to appeal to an AMERICAN market on an AMERICAN radio show.
@@tybooskie Ah yes, because she forced her way onto the breakfast club. Did she or did she not address in her response that she understands how she’s viewed in America? Your response has a certain kind of vitriol behind it like she’s said something problematic lol.
@@tybooskiethank you! She is here trying to gain fans and promote her music.
I knew about the colored term because a person I know went to South A for Mandelas inauguration. She’s a creole light skinned woman and she was confused as to why she was called colored and they explained how race is called out there. She’s a black woman just light skinned, Tyla is mixed ethnicity and is somehow considered the same race in South Africa as a full black light skinned woman. The world loves to get at Black Americans for how we see race and the terms we use, but that is our perspective and it’s valid just like hers is valid.
I just wanted to say I got 10 panel tested and my blood work! It is very important and I wish more content creators would start bringing this topic back up in our community. Wishing everyone a great weekend ❤
Americans need to understand that they don't force mixed and biracial people to identify as black in many foreign countries. I hope it is over between Nicki Minaj & her husband, she's been on a downward spiral since she married him.
This!! 💯
Americans really need to get this understanding. The world does not evolve around us and how we deal with "race". South Africa has their own history. The only people complaining about how she chooses to identify that I can see is black Americans.
Can you see inside of marriage to know this. Or are you assuming this from the position of her actions within her career. Her husband was never her downfall. Without him there would have been no Nicki. They have a long history
Many Americans do understand the concept of a person being mixed or biracial. Often times those of us that do accept it, even insist that the distinction be made (in the name of proper representation for everyone). Unfortunately, people often jump down our throats for being “divisive” when we do that, including non-Americans. It gets annoying that on Beyonce’s internet people think it’s okay to address Americans as a monolith. But we’d be “ignorant” if we addressed whole nations as a monolith ourselves, right? Address Charlamagne for being the one who asked the question in this instance. Unless he just became the spokesperson for all Americans & I missed the memo.
The entire world outside of America does not view mixed people as black
We literally have this tyla racial topic every month, some people just want to argue at this point 🙄
ATP it’s just due to a lot of Americans believe the world revolves around them .
@@LoveMera_xmore like Americans critiquing the language used. But ok
Professional arguers 😂
@@LoveMera_x evidently she does too. She's on black platforms trying to appeal to a black audience. Stop coming into black spaces if they don't want to answer those questions. Whites and Indians would appreciate her. I'm sure
@@renaissancewoman100she’s a pop star doing media runs wth is wrong with yall 😂😂😂 she’s promoting her music which she sings in her native language dances in that way too. What about her is appealing to us? Y’all problem with claiming ppl is your problem. She’s an artist full stop let not be delusional now
It’s crazy to me I’m a black American and I feel this issue with Tyla and her race is sooo stupid. Us as AMERICANS do need to understand that the concept of race in the states doesn’t hold everywhere else! There are many parts of the world where u won’t even hear people being referred to as black. As much grace as we want from folks to understand we should do the same cause it has been many people for months being really off putting towards SA culture due to the whole “colored” concept and it’s nothing but division
THANK U. I think ppl are closed minded at times n forget it’s another culture OUTSIDE of theirs
@@Melmel1231whatever, many of these outside cultures are trash such as this coloured nonsense. It’s divisive and confusing. Charlemagne asked a simple question. Hell Amber Rose stand on what she is.
Black people prefer to support Black artists. Tyla isn't Black so I can understand why lots of Black Americans are annoyed she's being pushed in their spaces. It's like all the other nonblack women who've tried to break into Black media and failed. Personally I'd rather support a Black African artist.
That's my little problem about the pushing of her. She's not back, but she's clearly performing music that is of or close to black Africans. There are so many other black African artists who make much better music than her, but she is another small, racially ambiguous woman being pushed to the forefront.
Y’all are celebrating lot of biracial ppl but won’t allow tyla in those spaces cause she is multiracial??? ( it’s not her fault that in South Africa she is classified as colored woman instead of black woman)
We don’t need your support for African artists either. We don’t see ourselves as black like you black Americans . No thanks
Where is this energy for cardi b just asking
@@Opbabyyx cardi is from the bronx lol. Hip hop was founded there. Also use the search bar as cardi receives all the hate for not being black. Also Cardi is loved for her personality. That's where she's exceptional. Tyla is beautiful and sassy with no substance or quick wit.
Thank you. That’s a great point about the Tyla question. We need to know where people stand. That’s Drake’s problem now. And as a Black American myself, seeing the internet and other cultures calling us stupid for “not understanding other cultures” is disappointing. We not ignorant but to your point in America we do need to know how you feel about certain things.
No y’all are ignorant and it’s annoying. The world does not revolve around America 🇱🇷. Race is a social construct and has different meanings in different countries their own history. Her calling herself ‘coloured’ is due to South Africa’s own history with an apartheid and the terms that they use there. she explain this before and black Americans got upset so I don’t blame her for not wanting to talk about it anymore because it annoy you. Since you think the world revolves around you.
@@LoveMera_x he ask her a question. She could have said that and educated the audience. She had a choice. She chose not to and here we are. But we do like to know. 🤷🏾♀️
It’s not just black Americans it’s black people from the Americas in general bc in the carribean we feel the same way. We were taught about the atrocities black people face in America and taught to understand what blackness meant.
@@LoveMera_xok but she’s not in South Africa. You’re in America and if you want to come to America and market yourself to black people clairfy who you are and stand on it. Bc if you’re coloured you shouldn’t be trying to represent black people in essence magazine.
@@octayajones4173did you read what I said ?? she’s explained this MULTIPLE times and she gets backlash every-time! It’s exhausting so she doesn’t wanna about it anymore. The breakfast club had a list of topics to not talk about and he asked her anyway to be messy, that’s why her publicist stepped in. Why aren’t you mad at the breakfast club for not respecting her boundaries ????
She’s already explained herself, doesn’t need to talk about it anymore than she has
multi-racial is not black. let’s not bully this girl into saying she’s something that she’s not.
Lol
The way they classify race in South Africa is different.
He doesn't want her to claim black. He wants her to be who ahe is. She's cosplaying black for 💵. He's saying he would prefer to support someone who is black.
She needs to continue standing her ground on this because South Africa has it right, if you ask me
She’s not going to deny the other parts of her heritage to pacify people and that’s great
Her ancestors must be proud 🤣
Americans gonna forcea mixed or Biracial person to be Black. 2 Black parents equals Black. What is so hard?
I think it’s crazy how excited Charlemagne got because he knew what this was going to do.
I have never liked Charlemagne
He came for her as others will get ready Tyla😮
He’s so disgusting

Bless you
angel reese and the vitriol she's getting are the reason i'm now paying attention to what women's basketball got going on
Unfortunately same
Idk…I kinda agree with Tyla. I feel like she’s darned if she does, darned if she doesn’t. I find it refreshing that she doesn’t claim Blackness as so many other racially ambiguous women do. I also think it’s because Tyla doesn’t appropriate Black American culture; of course she has to tap into that audience because we know we’re a huge consumer in this country and the globe beyond. So, I’m not mad at her. I think she’s made it clear who she is and how she identifies.
I completely agree
Coloured in South Africa is a race it’s not an “identity” or slur as it is considered in the US.
Black and brown people in other countries have been saying for a while now that the way mixed people are viewed outside of the US is different.
We have to stop telling everyone that has black mixture in them are black because it’s just not true…and then when those mixed girls benefit from representing black women it’s an issue.
Coco Jones, Normani are 2 beautiful black young ladies, Tyla is a multi-generationally mixed (with more than black and white) lady. They are not the same.
Here another way to think of it…the term
black in the US is a racial classification, Coloured in SA is a racial identification.
“Colored”in the US is viewed as bad that’s why we are triggered. They aren’t the same.
Knowledge Is Power
I have been following you for years now and you are an inspiration to me. I just wanted to add my input on Tyla bc I'm biracial and I have a different perspective than you. I feel that America has made these racial constructs that are rooted in hatred and anti-blackness but we adhere to them as if it is our true identity. I get tired of answering that question too and I'm from Florida shiiddddd. I think she explained it well in her post, trying to explain the racial constructs in Africa (once again based on racism) and where she falls/identifies within them. Yall can't be mad at Tyla for doing what we as Americans do as well. A person gets tired of trying to defend their blackness. I can't speak for Tyla but my mother is a black woman, so America dictates I'm black as well. However, people see me and don't believe I'm black they assume I'm spanish. It's very annoying and frustrating. I don't think you can understand this if you are not biracial.
Same exact experience as a biracial person. 😂
👏👏👏
The breakfast club is well aware of colored folks in 🇿🇦 they have had Trevor Noah as a guest many times n he spoke about the racial distinctions in South Africa
Furthermore the breakfast club as a show is supposed to do their research
True. Trevor always talks about his black mother and grandmother.
@@cecec9403 Trevor isn’t colored by 🇿🇦 standard and he talks about that in his book Born a crime
@@theorderofthebees7308 never said that he was.
Oh yeah, I forgot lol. Did he get backlash for explaining? I watched that.
Charlamagne is the same, who said to Amara la Negra that he didn't know colorism existed is latin America and didn't give any empathy to Amara. Tyler may not be aware of the nuances associated with colorism and race in America @theorderofthebees7308
Colored is a real racial category in South Africa 🇿🇦 . She is who she is.
Black people in the U.S don't understand that "colored" in South Africa has a different meaning than what "colored" meant in the U.S in the 50s and 60s.
Sending you Lovd from CT❤
SA is not USA. She has to let Americans know since she wanna market herself in America.

Love your view point!!! 💯 … She is benefiting from the “black culture”!
I don’t understand this comment. She’s always marketed herself as an African artist.
So only black culture exists only in America ?Her music is South African but okay
@@LoveMera_x Elon Musk is African. Anyone of any race can be African as long as they are born in Africa.
@@LoveMera_xgreat we are talking about blackness there are other races of people in Africa it’s a continent
@@GM-gc1usdid they say that?
To me, how the South Africans view it, is logical. Is someone is half black, why would you just call them black? It’s not the same. For something to be the same, they’d have to be able to be use interchangeably. If a person who’s mixed with black equals black, then a black personality equals mixed… which obviously is incorrect. Sthat means they are not the same. Colored makes so much sense, it’s kind of like poc for people who are of color but not specifically just black.
It's a really different context. Being Black in South Arica is being in the majority and Indigenous so she is also culturally different.
Thank you so much for this video. I was getting tired of hearing everybody's nonsense on these topics. You're literally the first voice of reason I've come across. Sending love.
small spelling error in the title I’m sure you meant “Blackness” but we knew what you meant 😂❤️ just wanted to notify you

I wish they spoke about Aja the way they speak about Caitlin.
They won't because she's black.
Not the headphones over the eyes talking about Nicki lashes 😂😂

I need Tyla's team to come with me to work. When a coworker bothers me I need them to intercom in and say "umm can we not".
😂😂😂😂
Tired of people tryna bully tyla into saying she’s black. They don’t do the one drop rule over there. She’s gone her whole life saying she’s colored soooo
No one has to bully or support her! Maybe she needs to cater more towards a white audience and see if it works.
She may need to go back to S. Africa, if she is tired of ppl seeking clarity of her ethnicity.
Colored is a slur in America, we don't use those terms so we are thrown off by that and asking a new artist to clarify things about themselves in an interview is normal, normalllllllllll
@@FearNOMortals she should. in fact, she should stay away from certain people and circles. her team is messing up. she has Africa and Asia at her feet, she has lots of fans in Latin America and Europe too. that is where I would promote heavily. trying to appeal to black americans is gonna be the death of her career. her team needs to wake up if they don't want to fumble
@@FearNOMortalsyou are projection you world view on to her. She is culturally African, indian, and irish. For her its not black and white. Your experience isnt her experience. The world doesnt work the same way the US does and that include racism. Racism is different and attributed differently in every society. Stop projecting
👏👏👏 You made great points about the Tyla situation. I think it’s deeper than most ppl think or want to admit. She did say”they never had a pretty girl from Joburg, see me now and that’s what they “prefer” There is a clear distinction between the Blacks and Coloured ppl in SA. I think she could’ve just said that she is mixed. In America these questions will come up especially when an artist is trying to gain a Black audience which I assume she’s doing,hence why she’s doing an interview at the Breakfast Club.
He did not make good points and was ignorant as hell in this conversation. Yall are projecting colourism onto this conversation. This is down to Americans ignorance about other cultures
@@LoveMera_x get a life and get from under my post. We all have opinions. You can go post yours under your own thread. You’re jumping under every post, like a psycho. I don’t care about what you have to say. He made great points! You don’t like it oh damn well. No one is projecting a damn thing.
@@LoveMera_x no, this is down to ppl from other countries coming into blk American spaces, onto blk platforms & posing for blk magazines... staying silent when their stans crap on the very audience they try to profit from. we're tired of the tethering, of foreigners assuming that they can carry their culture's customs into the USA bc Americans 'should' adapt to their ways. we don't want to nor should we have to, but then y'all cry ignorant lol.
Tyla wants a Black audience she may have to go Pop to be safe just water down her Ampiano music
It's giving 🎶yellow bone is what he wants🎶 -Danileigh
The thing is South Africa has a completely different look at who can say they're black and who can't. She's not allowed to call herself black when it comes to South Africa. To be black in South Africa your family has to associated with a specific tribe...
Coloured people are literally their own tribe, with a history in this country. Her race is coloured and she was raised in coloured culture 😊
She didn't just pick coloured out of a bag cause "she can't say she's black here"
Facts. If she were to refer to herself as black, she would be offending the black ppl from S.A. The term coloured is not offensive in S.A. Coloured South Africans have their own culture. Tyla is simply owning who she is and where she comes from.@k.m512
It would have been nice if she explained this and took the time to inform those who are not from South Africa who have no fvckn clue what all of that means…she could’ve took us to South Africa…heyy Tyla 👋🏽
@@WenNRomeu have google. She doesn’t need to explain shi. Literally search up “coloured people South Africa”
@@WenNRomeshe did 75 times on social media lol she’s over it
I understand that you would like Tyla to answer the questions about her race each time. Truth is, she has already talked about it multiple times. Some people just want her to be black so bad, but she's not. I also think it benefits BW when mixed ppl do not identify as blk. That's how Rachel Dolazel finessed ppl, cos everyone can be blk.
Also, Tyla is trying to appeal more to ⚪️ audiences. Most of her interviews are with yt news outlets. She's trying to blend in with everyone.
You had me at the first half, but you're wrong about the last half. Tyla is from South Africa. It has nothing to do with appealing to wyte people. Race is a social construct. In South Africa those constructs are different. Its really that simple.
@sorafanchick I didn't say she's calling her self colered 2 appease wyte ppl, I just see her going on more yt shows than blk. My comment was addressing all these blk ppl who think they are the center of the universe, and they are the reason tyla is trying to integrate the US market. She wants everyone to like her, but I see her put more effort with the ⚪️
Tyla doesn’t appeal to white people. That’s a straight LIE. Black Americans is the demographic she wants to appeal to.
She'd be leaning into her Irish roots then.
You also need to understand that not everyone follows her to be able to see these interviews that she spoke on it on. I watch TBC, which is a large platform and I have never seen an interview of her, so her answering the question on their show should have been a priority which could’ve been the end of the conversation that she was looking for. Why avoid the things that are making you go viral?? Her team clearly doesn’t trust her not to mess it up. They are clearly trying to hide something. It’s weird.
Tyla is South African. They categorize people as black, white or coloured. Anyone of a mixed race is considered coloured. It’s not the same “colored” term as we use here in America.
I don’t think Tyla needs to defend how she identifies in HER culture. People need to realize there are other ways of life and types of “black experiences” besides the Black America experience. The outrage is rooted in ignorance. And I say this as a black American who has been to both Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa and was caught off guard the first time I heard someone refer to themselves as coloured.
Plus people need to realize Apartheid wasn’t that long ago. What we were going through in America in the 60s South African was still experiencing in the 90s.
and she needs to understand that the social policies in south Africa do not apply in the u.s, you do not go to another country and disregard the one thing ppl ask you to do because "the world doesn't revolve around you".
@@material-cheshirekhatter2413So she can't call herself coloured in America because all you Americans will have a freak out?
@@material-cheshirekhatter2413 no you people need to understand that you can't force someone to disavow their culture and heritage to make you comfortable. Who tf do you think you are? That's a real question btw.
@@material-cheshirekhatter2413so you would change your whole identity once you stepped foot in another country? You would not
@@Mcgturtle3exactly!!
I mean I’m Jamaican and I understand where black American people are coming from bc what everyone wants to know is why does it bother you so much that someone asked that question about your blackness. If you didn’t know anything about Tyla you’d assume she’s just a black girl. That would be the case in America, the UK, carribean Latin America etc. However she isn’t comfortable saying that so why then is she silent but finding her way onto covers at essence magazine and other black and black women focused articles and platforms? Why aren’t you on the “coloured” platforms. And btw if anyone wants to know the history of South Africa the coloured status was basically a reverse one drop rule. Bc the masses were black whites needed a barrier between them and the larger black population. So anyone whether they be 90% black and 10% white or 50% black or any percent who had any mix in them could be put into the coloured box and gain some social privileges over black people. That is why when apartheid ended millions of coloureds voted against apartheid ending. And why many to this day have extreme levels of internalized anti blackness. It’s almost like “not black anything but that”. It’s another form of willi lynch divide and conquer folks
Thank you! Finally, some nuance. It is not about thinking the world revolves around the US. It is that the "stupid" Black Americans consciously or subconsciously registered that.
Thank you!!! Your excellent talking points are going completely over people’s heads.
Thank you❤. Im so tired of these ppl acting slow like they dont get what this is really about. Tbh most of us are wondering why is her mediocre ass being pushrod so heavily in black spaces when we don't know her or who she with. Were not rolling out no red carpet for her when we actually like Tems better ANYWAY.
Exactly. 🇯🇲
Okay cause that’s what I was thinking too 💯
Interesting that she put the black countries first, although her parents clearly look more on the Indian side. Very strategic smh
The lowercase b in Black was a choice lol
Funny thing about the car: It was just me and my younger brother, but when the time came for cars, we each got the car my mother was driving and SHE got a new car 😳🥺🤣. I was still happy to have it, except when I had to start taking/picking
my brother up and run errands for the parents 😅.
Tyla looked ova to the left 😂😂😂 in my Tweet voice

yep i agree with what u said on Tyla absolutely 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wait this is FACTS !! they should have been prepared for the conversation. She's trying to market *in america*

@deedeeh9781 yes, the trunk!!!

I understand what you’re saying. Because I feel like some light skinned people want to be black when it’s convenient. So we definitely need to know where they stand
Since you brought tht up, do you remember when Nicki came in the game how she called herself Asian and Indian? Never once said Blk girl until it was time to weaponize being Blk against Cardi? Do you remember how she called Kim nappy head and bubbles go bk to your habitat? Also said she’s foreign? Blk girl tragic bcuz ppl were questioning her relationship with her husband. Protect BW for her but not for Meg the girl tht was born in America.
Remember when Tiger Woods said he wasn't black, but was a bunch of mixed races?? Remember when Mariah Carey said she wasn't black but her dad was "black Brazilian"? But watch how they run to the black community when they get in trouble or need support!!
"I'm not black, I'm O.J.!" Remember that??
All of this criticism and picking apart of a subject that has already been clearly addressed and explained is exactly why the girl didn’t want to answer the same question yet again. Whether she answered or not, it would have been an uproar because of how Black Americans are affected by colorism. So why answer a question that you’ve already answered multiple times, just because so many people missed it the first few times or because they’re personally offended by it? She’s being pushed to a wider global audience, not just “Black” people, but because she’s an Afro Beat artist, Black people automatically assume that they’re the intended demographic.
Black people should also stop teaching colorism to their kids. I'm very tired of this false blame we as a collective like too much to place on other people.
👏👏👏
I only started paying more attention to the wnba because of angel reese.
I honestly thought the same thing when I first saw Tyla I was instantly like okay another one, I’m dark skinned and I guess will never see a lot of dark skinned singers or rappers apparently
Exactly. This is what annoys black Americans the most. Give us a black south African artist please.
@@sonderexpeditionsthere's literally thousands of them. Listen to them instead of trying to force this girl to identify herself as black to please you..
Justin you always tell it how it is and I deeply appreciate your integrity in your work.
Its convenient that people are welcomed with open arms into the black entertainment space beacuse of the AUDIENCE'S perception of their proximity to blackness, whether they themselves wanted the invitation to the cookout or not. They still BENEFIT from the proximity. This is the exact basis for the Drake outrage. We open the gate for Amber Roses and Doja Cats so they can take our coin but they don't pay no taxes on the access and its frankly tiring.
Oop!
💯💯💯
THIS. And these Africans think they're going to bully her into OUR LANES and act like were the slow ones that dont get it. Like nah, yall obviously dont understand GATEKEEPING. They will today though bc BLACK AMERICANs are tired of the disrespect.
That’s why I support exactly 0 of them. Until they do right my community, they can go pander to the group they associate themselves with
So stop giving her the benefits? She's never claimed to be black and yet you're mad at her that black Americans support her? 😂😂😂
I think Tyla team answered that question appropriately.
Tyla has talked about it other times and it’s always caused somewhat of an up war so that’s why she didn’t want to talk about it since she already explained multiple times in different interviews
In my sixth grade social studies class I teach students that coloured in South Africa mean biracial, mixed.
I definitely get where you are coming from with the Tyla situation. But in her defense, the more I looked in to it, it’s a cultural thing. I genuinely think due to where she is from and her overall makeup, she is technically not “black”. BUT, the way some Africans have been discussing it online with the low key dissing of black folks as a whole has me side eyeing a bit
Seriously thank you for this video 🙏🏾 I don't like the narrative that black people don't read just for questioning on Tyla and her views on blackness
Tyla is not looking like a victim at all. She want all to focus on her music but it’s obvious yall can’t. She said what she was the first time, yall just don’t listen cause it’s not what yall wanna hear.
She wants *yall
Hear what? She didn’t explained it until now. Tyla is playing the victim.
@@SideEyeee_ she’s really not. We’re (American black people)the only ones worried about whether if she calls herself black or not she said she’s colored multiple times and she has different ethnicities in her. She look more Indian if anything. But who actually cares why aren’t yall talking about her music her album was pretty good btw.
@@t.sharae4774 It’s crazy how you think everything is about America. Go be dumb somewhere else.
I appreciate you saying you’re listening and learning and honestly saying its above your pay grade.
Kenneth Convicted Petty 😂 😂😂😂
Love your Tyla take…I need to KNOW where you stand before I support.
In South Africa, Tyla would be considered "colored" because she does have some African and Indian heritage. In the U.S. she would be considered "black" because she has African heritage along with European heritage.
The thing you're forgetting is she's not "considered" as anything. She's South African and coloured, and everywhere she is she will remain a coloured Southa
she is considered mixed in the u.s
Yes, get your blood work done!! Check your blood sugar levels,Check your cholesterol, and thyroid levels.there's other thing that's killing us other than STIs
I live on a different planet... I had to google who Tyla was 🥴 I think i've aged out of pop culture.
She is the new "It" girl
She's the new IT girl til a new one comes along
Y’all blackness can mean different things to people outside of America it’s not quite that simple especially since she comes from a different culture.
Exactly. In South Africa Tyla is "colored", but in the U.S. she would be considered black.
Yep she darker than me and I got two black parents and she does not look mixed just light skin and curly hair I got that and lighter
@@rucianapollard7098no black is black in south Africa. Coloured is mixed. She's not a black woman at all. Just has some black in her.
@@rucianapollard7098no, she's south african so she's a coloured South African no matter where she goes. She's not considered anything, she's coloured
@@marthashepherd935she is multi racial, in South Africa she is considered colored. Both your parents have to be black for you to be considered black.
PREACH!!! I couldn't agree with you more about Tyla.
Language plays a huge part what might be perceived in the USA as colorism its not the same meaning in the culture. She has to think really hard how she's going to translate what she is saying in modern American English.
Tyla is not for black ppl let’s be real. In one interview she even said she feels like she can be bigger than Rihanna. Girl you haven’t been out that long for that. It’s very clear she is for self.
Very much so
She mixed anyways, she is not black
😂😂 she need to take several seats
@@ASprinkleofAnimeShe damn sure ain’t white.
Being for self is like the main qualification for celebrities…
People don't speak out against colorism (Tyla) or racism (Caitlin) because that's who they are. Just because its a celeb doesn't mean they are above society; rather they represent it and embody it. They are the problem/issue/system whatevs.
Now where did colorism come from here😂. Just because Tyla is a multiracial girl that isn’t pretending to be monoracial?
I agree 1OO% on your statement about Tyla!
Tyla should’ve answered the question by giving context to Apartheid and the race definition system in SA so that people will have context and understand better. So…not sure if she will have the black support as much now.
She don’t know all that stuff. The girl was born in 2002. Yall putting so much responsibility on a 22 year old girl who just wants to sing and dance. If you wanna know more about the subject, do your own research. She has previously stated that she is Coloured in SA and black everywhere else. Why does everyone keep bringing this topic up?
@@sportsnumber1567 mam. I was born in 2002 and I also have been to SA and I even know all of the history.
@@camarathomas6552Not every 22 year old is politically inclined or has the tools to talk about race issues
@@camarathomas6552 But you aren’t a celebrity and your identity is not being scrutinised infront of the whole world as if it’s a sin. Listen, Tyla will have black support. Just watch this space. She is undeniable talented and nobody can stop someone with actual talent from succeeding. It’s impossible.
To be fair she shouldn't have bothered with the breakfast club.It's a whole dodo operation.
Apparently, coloured is a very specific ethic mix in south Africa 🇿🇦 i read it's Asian / African / European
In the uk 🇬🇧 we call people of any racial / ethnic mix 'mixed race'. It's a separate category from black or white people like coloured seems to be in S.A
I would be inclined to agree with you on the Tyla situation had she not already answered this question multiple times. You say that “It’s just a simple question,” while the entire conversation around it online proves that it’s anything but.
Deadass
I had to buy my first car, just to use for me to get a driver's license. Its a blessing to recieve anything. I've always had to do for myself. I'm the only child that had to buy myself my first car. I think she should be happy with the buick.
How is she black, when her dad is full Indian, and her mom is has a small amount of African in her!!??? At least she’s saying she’s colored. The girl isn’t black completely. If anything she’s Indian. She can claim Indian before anything…
As a Tswana woman (southern African), y'all in the USA need to gatekeep from these types Eg Amber Rose, they are not different from white supremacists back home. Anti blackness is rooted deep in the POC community. Gatekeep from Tyla, she is appropriating a black woman
Her dad is mixed his father most mostly Indian his mother is half black and Indian
Yep not black hence we say coloured
That part
Indian is not a color.
I swear we shall have this tyla discussion after 40 days..... My siblings in SA Poleni
You made a valid point that either way Tyla benefits from colourism & featurism. I’m a black South African woman and in South Africa she’s simply coloured, it’s really not that complicated. I have coloured people in my family (not biracial people but people of mixed heritage) and it’s not a big deal. I think the most annoying thing about the discourse is people refusing to understand that there are different racial classifications outside of America.
The likes of Cardi B and Amber Rose would be classified as coloured in South Africa but we respect the fact that in America they’re considered as Black.
Stop assuming we don’t know there are different classifications WE GET IT….we literally are not stupid. It’s not about being confused that there are different classifications. We have mixed people here. We want to make sure that even though she identifies as colored does she accept her blackness or not. You all might not care in SA but here in America Black Americans care to ensure the people we place in high regard represent us.
@@GetIntoTheBLACK you may GET IT but a lot of people DON’T and you can tell from their takes and commentary. Not sure where you thought I’m getting assumptions from. She explicitly says that she is coloured in South Africa and she is a black woman.
@@GetIntoTheBLACKYou can literally find video from 2020 where she stated that she was coloured and specifically said that it means she is has several ancestry including Zulu. In that video she was showcasing her Zulu/black heritage. What more do yall want her to say?
cardi b and amber rose are considered mixed, thats what we mean with tyla we're asking her to just say that shes mixed. no problem
We dont consider either of them black. 😂 cardi is a whole latina.never met one American who said she was black.
📢 WE NEED THESE KIDS 📢 So poignant and beautifully said.
I’m a firm believer in a starter car. For me, it has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with maturity and responsibility. I couldn’t drive worth a damn when I got my license 😂. I hit every curb there was my starter car wasn’t beat up or anything but it was a used cash car. I got upgraded when I graduated college though.
I was weak AF when u put the headphones over your eyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You do NOT have to support her and she doesn't OWE you an explanation period.
That's the thing. Most people who already hate her actually just don't want to support her, which they have the right to. But they need to look for a guilt-tripping approach by playing mind games they're actually bad at.
I like you I really do but Tyla proves the point we’ve been saying to you on the topic of mixed race people. One, where she’s from is going to dictate how she identifies. Simple we can’t be mad at that. Two, this is why it’s OK to let mixed race people identify as such. The majority of the black communities need to push her to call herself black ONLY is making us look desperate. Same when it was Meghan Markle. We can see them. We know they look different and benefit from that. Why are we acting like they wrong to call themselves what we see with our own eyes…..? Needing a person partially black to call themselves black as if the rest doesn’t exist, like other aspects of their ethnicity and race don’t influence how they move through the world is crazy. Coco Jones ain’t never have an issue saying she’s black WITHOUT an addendum , don’t nobody even ASK. And that should tell you all you need to know.
I cant listen to nicki talk for more than 5 seconds. That video was so cringe lol
You can't tell me that Nicki isn't on drugs. 💯
That Nicki clip had me kinda concerned. I wonder if she's going through some kind of psychosis, or doing heavy drugs. Either way I'm worried for Papa
Why would she be on drugs-
Me reads the topics, I'm ready for fun
Justin oh they protecting that white walker Caitlin
😂😂😂😂
White 🤍🐻❄️ walker
😅
I mean tyla told us how she identify shes a colored south African woman 🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿i hate that we push American blackness on all brown ppl thats like telling a person from Jamaican they are not AFRO CARIBBEAN you are just black disregarding the culture and where they are from. Are they part of the African diaspora yes but we have to understand blackness is not a monolith and we say that all the time
Jamaican is a nationality. Black is a race
@downwiththeclique7239 True, i admit that was a bad example,😅 i was only half way thinking about it but i feel like she said what she is, a colored south african woman. If that's what she is, i think we all should respect how she wishes to identify. I think that is the point i was trying to make and missing, LOL 😅😅
@@downwiththeclique7239black is a culture
and thats fine, so she shouldn't be accepting any awards or doing any magazine covers that have anything to do with the word "Black"
That part you ain't black stop being in all black spaces
Do your research properly, Tyla is from South Africa n in South Africa she is classified has coloured a South African and she doesn't have a problem being identified black outside of South Africa
I am an South African and South African coloured and American “colored” are two different things . Coloureds in South Africa are regarded as mixed race but she is still black though . I think Americans need to research more about other cultures especially in Africa before coming to an defence mode .
Thank you Justin, sounds so ignorant in this video
Barely black. I’m tired of the one drop rule
Black where? Sis I’m a South African and I know she definitely not black.👀
Exactly. It's ridiculous at this point
We don’t have to research nothing when she is asking black Americans for help to boost her one hit wonder career
Aww mann!! This was soo on point, as usual. Smh…🔥❤️
Chile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Angel has me and all my daughters watching. And I agree -- she is moving the right way. Talking that talk too?!? The NBA needs to study this...😂
When other kids come to my house all up in my kitchen that’s the first thing I say. “Hold up I don’t get no stamps.” 😆
Chile these kids will eat you outta house and home 😂😂
Atleast you have a house AND a home.
Some of us out here just trynna maintain one 😅
Ok had to send my 7 yrs old nephew home 😂
@@shantia21nah fr same here! How are they fifty sumthn lbs but eating up two weeks of fruits in one day😭😭
@@Giraffe27 😂😂 ok now
Tyla could not say she is Black because FBAs and ADOS are not giving the Black Visa to anyone who wasn’t in America in 1619.
Oh please, Black FBAs give black cards to every damn body.
You might want to tell that to black men who love to throw that out to any group of multi racial women especially when they get rejected.
What is FBA and ADOS please and thank you
@@tthettaiAMERICAN Descendants of slaves
You’re slow they don’t even do that that’s why they created the terms FBA and ADOS. It’s literally because they acknowledge that there are other BLACK people besides Black Americans🙄
What bothers me is the way parents post their family business online for pats on the back from strangers. Kids are ungrateful sometimes. It sucks but it’s normal & they’ll get past it as they gain more life experience. You don’t need to invite the world in to dogpile on them. Don’t you have a friend you can call & vent to? Why are you on social media telling us about it? We should not should not know this much about your kids. That’s weird.
Or talk to a therapist because why are we in it?
Not "come on in raccoon" 😂😂😂
