Exactly. Most of it stems from the origin of self hate passed off as black pride. By and large I've been "accepted" as being black, tho I'm clearly mixed, because I've lived in black spaces a majority of my life. But Afro-americans make me laugh when they act as if they arent mixed with traces of something along their genetic heritage. Fr if ur not str8 from Africa u mixed with sumthin js
It should just be called hatism ..cause that's all it really is. When someone trys to justify hating someone else and that's the only excuse they can find. It's just pure hatefulness.
As a South American who comes from a country where the majority is mixed race, is very interesting to see how weird (or even backwards) race relations are in the US
@@stanbrooks7923 I have never said it's a paradise in my country. It has many issues. But we never had a Jim Crow. Mixed race relationships were never illegal, even at the time of slavery. As a mixed person, I'm able to have my religion based on African and indigenous gods, and dance with the drums and practice the martial art of my Yoruba ancestors. Are you able to live any of that in North America?
I'm a mixed race person of South Africa and we are very proud of who we are. There are more than 4 million of us. And we don't allow anyone to question our identity! Period!
as a black girl who is in love with her brown skin i caNNNOT fathom being rude to mixed people. Idc how y’all claim them “ white , black , mixed , biracial “ i see them as someone i could relate to. Your dads black? so is mine, your moms black so is mine. We are closer than most so why would i deny part of you cause you don’t look exactly like me? Lame
@KELECHUKWU IWUNZE I’m Puerto Rican and black and Tbh I don’t just use my black side when it benefits me but I guess some do. But I look black anyway so most people don’t think I’m mixed
I'm mixed with Asian and Black and I identify myself as what I am.. Asian and Black. I don't care what other people say.. I identify as who I am. I will not and do not let people put me in a box. I wasn't free just to be me. I was ashamed of myself for many years. Because, of the racism from my mom (long story) and blacks.
@arron baker it's sad that, we have to go through racism with our own flesh and birth. The same woman who birth me ended up hated me because, my dad being black. Now, granted my dad treated my mom like crap ,but that didn't give her the excuse to not to be a mother to me. For the longest, I tried dressing different, speaking different, having more white friends ( even though she's Asian) to try and win her live and affection. Then one day, I stopped trying to reach out to her and stopped trying to be someone whom, I wasn't meant to be. Even though I moved on, that pain will never go away but it will never take over my life.
@arron baker my mom is born and raised from Bangkok, Thailand. I mainly grew up on base housing because my father was in the military. I didn't experience any major types of racism until, I went to public school in a predominantly black neighborhood in the 7 to 10th.. then my jr and sr year, I went to school in Ca and didn't experience any type of racism because, the school was a melting pot of different cultures.
@Jeanette sote exactly what I say my dad is an Elvis Presley looking Indian and my mom African so I look like Prince the musician and identify as mixed because it would be disrespectful to the other parent to choose one side and IDGAF what people say I know who I am

I checked back and my post was deleted, so let me give you the real deal of what is going on to prevent from this being deleted. The reason why black Americans treat us differently is because for years and years we have been told that we were not beautiful, that anything white was beautiful. The finer the hair, the more beautiful you are, the smaller the nose ect, ect. This is called conscious conditioning. When Harriet Tubman tried freeing slaves, some wouldn’t go with her because they thought the life their slave masters gave them was the way, that was all they knew, the slave masters conditioned them that way and the slaves had kids and they taught them that mentality, and continued for many generations. The slave masters conditioned them to think the whites were superior, so anything close to their color or hair was not beautiful. When it comes down to it don’t pay attention to it, don’t take it personally because they don’t feel their own self worth. Its not their fault, but they have no excuse to treat people that way because they know damn well how it feels but they are stuck in that sunken place and they need to learn that it’s all conditioning and find their self worth because if they had it, they wouldn’t let what your mixed with bother them.
As someone that is the “other race” i have never chosen white or black. I am not one or the other, I am both. I will always be both. Regardless of how society or anyone else sees me - other peoples perception cannot my ancestry.
Im biracial and i cant thank you enough for making this video!! I had to run up a tree and hide from a group of white boys throwning stones at me calling me a halfbreed .One of the boys finally apologized when he grew up and i did forgive him but the others stayed in rhe closet racist to thia day. Dark skinned females always to this very day hate me because im mixed with light eyes. They think I think I'm all that when in actuality I have very low self-esteem. Finally i dont feel so alone with what ive been through in life!! God bless you this video made me cry!!!
Sammy g 80s baby I know how you feel, I remember being called half breed back in the day, the term half cast is also used up to this day in the UK, I absolutely hate it.
@Terrance Coleman Not sure what you are trying to get at. That saying means mixed people represent the idea of all races and no races, and where i come from, being coulerd, is a representation of race that is counter the idea of race

Nice documentary, sorry you have to go through those problems. I’m a dark skinned black lady not mixed and let me tell you people are just mean. I experienced hate also because I have a dark complexion and my nose is very narrow . What I have learned is people really just hate themselves and I don’t take things personal and I just keep improving and letting them hate.
I’m so greatful for this documentary as there’s not enough coverage on biracial people and having racial identity issues it’s been good to hear other people with similar issues. Thanks so much for this!
Indigenous DNA thanks for your input and yes I am aware of it. But just like the Whytes are used like guard dogs they should stop allowing themselves to be used to divide.
I think as a mixed/multi-racial person that the limbo makes it better, you can try more hairstyles, there are more options and opportunities for you and other’s are intrigued by your cultures and your family. It’s fun. I’m Mauritian and Jamaican btw.
@@BlueberrySummertime I totally agree. I was talking about the hardest part tho. and for me the limbo is hard most of the time. but of course there are many positive things too about it. I got curly 3B hair, so I struggle with shrinkage, just not as much as a black person does, but I also can't just wake up and brush my hair like an asian or most white people do. I have black features, but a white skin, so it's like "???" 😂 privilege, but not all of em. and it's weird to mark my race/ethnicity in documents. I am brazilian and my background is basically black (prob angola and cape verde), white (portugal and spain) and northeast coast native people. which is basic most of what brazilians are. but I'll only know for sure when I take my DNA test.
@@cryingtrouble your comment is problematic. You said you got type 3 hair and remarked it as a positive as if having type 4 hair would’ve been a negative shrinkage is not a bad thing. That’s an anti black statement ... you do know that right?
Why would it be difficult? A child is a child no matter what colour. So u mean its difficult for a white/pink/red woman to raise a pink child with brown or black hair? Or is it difficult to raise those without blue , green eyes? Are u raising appearance or raising a human with red blood lime u? Infact, if ur talking about manners, yes its difficilt coz brown child wpuld learn all the bad manners from u that dont exist in thier culture. No beef
If you don’t decide who you are people will tell you who you are. And people have always tried to tell mixed people how to identify and we don’t have to. We can love both sides equally. And if that bothers you maybe you should look into yourself and see why instead of asking others about something they can’t control.
You know Britney I don't think that's the case anymore I think with the way the world is and everything people don't look at that no more I know so many mixed couples in there so happy who cares anymore life is so short and if you find somebody that makes you happy and turns your head and make that heart pump who cares you go with heart not people .
When she started crying because her sister is insecure about her complexion due to her being mixed, I teared up. I went through the same shit with my sister *we have different fathers* when I was younger, & she's beyond beautiful in her smooth brown skin. I just wish she felt that way but it permanently affected our relationship because she low key hates me for it. When I moved to the suburbs, her true feelings about me were exposed. She tells people I think I'm better than everyone because I'm 'lightskinned' but she smiles in my face.. & it hurts because there's nothing I can do about that. I can't help the way I was born man😔
My heart goes out to the unaccepted mixed/multi-racial people who suffer ignorance needlessly. Though I love my culture...I really do feel the need to move to us just being human.
Their parents are traitors to their respective race everybody knows it is an abomination but they do it anyways out of a selfish desire and borderline bestiality
Biracial people should say to anyone who questions their race, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works." Then walk away with your head held up high and smiling. Amen.
To everyone saying 'Oh mixed people don't have anything to say they have white privilege..' um NO. I am mixed I am mostly black and I am lighter skinned a lot of my features you can't even tell what race I look like. I have all of west and sub-saharan african in me, and 0.2%native american. Some reason my genetics decided to pull from that small percentage and make me look more like that. If you looked at me you wouldn't know what I am. I've lived in poverty my ENTIRE LIFE, ain't no lighter skinned 'privilege' has benefited me in any way shape or form. In fact I've experienced racism from ALL sides. Especially darker skinned black people. They feel uncomfortable around me because they don't know what I am, then they discover I am black and don't know what to do with me because I'm 'not like them enough'. The white people, mexicans, asians, all races don't know what to do with me so I never fit in anywhere at all and grew up very lonely. And I've been bullied extensively from everyone from it. I can't even walk into my grandmas room without her talking about my skin color and everyone in my family who is darker skinned. No privilege has helped me in my life what so ever, domestic abuse, divorced parents, mental illness with no help, trauma for all 3 of us, too poor to even afford nice shoes for years and years, having no choice but to eat rotten food from the food drive, living in a roach infested craphole of an apartment for all of my highschool years. I've lived in the lowest class of america and am barely getting out of it due to my family's hard work and blood sweat and tears.And I live in california the place where everyone is supposed to be accepted but no...i've lived that life. So please shut up with all of that and go to sleep. Stop being racist and accept people and there stories for what they are. Get over yourself and have compassion for other people. IT. DOES. NOT. MATTER. WHAT. YOU. LOOK. LIKE. WE. ARE. ALL. HUMAN. BEINGS.
Battlea this is the best comment I’ve read. Thank you for sharing part of your story, I’m learning more from people like you, who live with the struggle of being judged by your physical characteristics instead of your inner character.
@@artsymarci Thank you so much! I just wish people would step outside themselves and just love one another. It's hard to speak out when you're mixed because people are always trying to make you feel invalidated for what you have to say but a lot of us experience life like this. It's like we're silenced. I'm happy this documentary was made!
As someone who’s mixed race it’s nice to watch a video based on some of the things we face. I’ve always had a hard time with my identity especially when I was a child. I was never “white” enough or “black” enough so I’ve always considered us mixed race people to be our own race 😭 these people are talking about being bullied by white folks but I was severely bullied by black people growing up for “acting white”, being into anime, thinking I’m all that because I’m lighter. I grew up in a white household so I didn’t realize this lightskin vs darkskin bullshit was even a thing until I entered high school!
Candy Gurl I’m biracial...that “one drop” rule is something whites created to separate us. But according to my dna, biology, and genetics I’m not black. I’m part black, yes but I identify as biracial because that’s what I am. You can call me black but my dna says other wise.
@@yanniatx Amen, ignorance comes from well-meaning people too. You're right if you have parents of two or more races you are therefore mix-raced. Common sense.
Ayanna Janae you get it from one side or the other. I truly think if biracial children accepted they are biracial they would find a greater since of pride instead of trying to fit in. I don't think it's something your suppose to choose.
If you are in a predominately black environment then you’re going to feel like you get more problems from black people and if you are in a predominately white environment then you’re going to feel like you get more problems from white people so I don’t think it’s fair to ask which race gave you the most problems. It’s going to be from whatever race makes up the majority of your environment. The question would make more sense if these people were in an equally mixed environment.
I'm an American. Not an African American or European American . Thank you for this. This video helped my talk to my kids about being mixed race Americans.
Wow a lot of people in the comments hating on mixed people. And im just over here texting my *white* dad and *black* mom, about how much i love them for raising me to be apart of both cultures while still respecting that im a part of neither of them. All my mixed people out there gotta stay strong against this -HATE-
Good🌞👍🏻!They likely taught you healthy self-esteem & that's very beneficial for every person's mental health because ultimately someone will always be a jerk no matter who/what you are.
Majority of people born in the Americas are likely mixed with a bit of White, black and indigenous. Obviously it will vary from where you come from. Just be proud of who you are and who you identify as. You don’t owe anyone an explanation
As a black woman, I'm ashamed to have grown up hating being black and wanting to be mixed so I could seem exotic. Watching this has opened my eyes to a lot of the adversities that mixed people face. Every race is beautiful though. We should all embrace who we are. And we should accept each other for what/who we are.
Black is beautiful madam...here's one believer of that fact...im Asian by the way but in my eyes black women are more attractive than whites( no offense to them)
Yeah u must, becuase I'm mixed, African asian, but when I was a kid I always being straight hair, and now I get regret for it, sometimes I can't accept because i have light skin so that people sometimes not believe if I'm African asian, i love being black, black is beauty, u must proud of it sist, hope ur always be happy with ur skin ❤️
@@nurvamiliano3247Whether your hair is straight or curly, it's beautiful. Embrace it. Embrace your light skin. That's the way that The Most High made you. I also have light skin, but I'm black and I love it. You're beautiful as a mixed African & Asian woman, just as I am a beautiful black woman. I've grown to love my black ethnicity as an adult. It is just unfortunate that I didn't realize that black is beautiful as a child.
Thank you. Every bigot white dude with a beer belly has a problem with me. Everyone else: "You look unique. What's your heritage" Me: I'm mixed, European and Black from my mom and Latino from my dad." "Oh, cool" No one cares but insecure haters
U right but in where we stay in breaux bridge louisiana it is when me and my kids are out ae get dirty looks from a lot of people out here even when my husband is with my kids and myself but it doesn't bother me no more because i knew siince i was young my kids were going to be biracial
Ashley Magee Turner That’s so weird. Southern Louisiana is the only place I felt not only accepted but celebrated. Chicago was the worst, even more so than anywhere else in the south.
For those of you who have a problem with this documentary and are not mixed. Why are you here? It wasn't made for you in the first place. You can't possibly understand what these people have gone through, not being like them. Please do them a favor and get lost. 😉
If you are mixed, you never identify yourself as one thing. My sons are bi-racial. They are Filipino and Black. They don't go as just Black but "Bi-racial" or directly "Filipino and Black."
I'm mixed Black/Irish however I don't need any validation from blk, wht, or purple. Majority of white and black ppl will never see me and them as a whole. Blacks call me mixed and whites say I'm just black. When in reality I'm just me.
@Reproductive Technology Is Eugenics And your point was what? I think we're all aware that Irish is an nationality. I'm pretty sure we know the indifference in so called white ppl. At least I do thx
@Reproductive Technology Is Eugenics what is associated to and towards ppl are stereotypes. There's plenty of black ppl in Ireland do your research b4 assuming and labeling ppl based on a lack of understanding. White ppl were in slims/projects b4 the words inner city existed so how do u associate that as being black? Guns are imported, and very forgien but yet u associate that with just black. Smh go do some real research and expand your mind.
African Heritage. Cuba is a massive mix of colors and racism was reduced (not erased) due to the revolution. People do not blink an eye at multiracial relationships there.

@@ElfinPrincess Meaning? 0bviously, for instance, Asians are less hairy than whites, blacks have more curly hair, etc. As far as the culture that one associates with a particular race or ethnicity- that is purely a social construct.
The issue is not that they don't know what race they are. The issue is that we still divide humans and labeling them in races. They are not mixed, not black, not white. They are human.
It seems like our society is trained to judge a book by its cover although we all know better. Craziest thing about it all is many of us are bi-racial & don't even know it. But the labeling is so bad it seems that we forget that we are all just HUMANS!
Marcel Woke- We live in a society where we're just a product/number being tracked/monitored and controlled by the government through census/technology. The issue is that the majority of people are programmed to be literal, they only see or identify with what's on the external/surface. Since birth, we've all been conditioned with these in groups and out groups experiments. By unknowingly embracing/consenting to labels and by joining various cults/organizations is helping the governments agenda along. It's always been about divide and conquer.
I'm the truth- Yes, it was Europeans who invented racism/caste systems that was imposed upon all nations of people regardless of what they look like. Unfortunately, all nations of people, including POC themselves foolishly embraced this "white supremacist" idea that was imposed upon them. It's evident that it had an negative influence on countless of minds because some felt compelled themselves or by others to alter their own appearance in order to assimilate to the European standards of beauty or their culture/traditions/customs/doctrines. Furthermore, non-Europeans participated by mocking ridiculing/humiliating POC for their appearance, promoted "colorism" amongst their own family/fellowman who weren't pale or light skinned and some even chose to alienate themselves from own families/fellowman that were deemed "black" or dark skinned in order to appease their oppressors and live a more comfortable lifestyle but still remain enslaved to the human powers/oppressors that they themselves idolize/worshipped. There are people of all shades of colors, backgrounds/status and all levels of life that support "white supremacy" even if their skin is not pale or light because they are obsessed/worship and idolize "whiteness" and what it stands for. Some rather be a comfortable slave to self-worship or their own addictions/sins in their disregard for freedom and justice to all. Moreover, the idol worshippers are willfully dedicated to a European supremacy belief system despite the fact that it exploits, misleads and disadvantages others. That's why many people are waking up and psychologically preparing to detach themselves from the beliefs of an entire system itself because they clearly see that people regardless of color have become insane sociopaths who are only out for themselves. This is nothing new, this madness has been going on since antiquity, it's just that the deception has re-invent itself and it is subtle, sinister and craftier. This issue we're all dealing with goes deeper than what we see on the surface. The color of the skin or what's superficial is just a distraction and used as a weapon against those who are deceived/blindsided. The moral of the story is that's it's impossible to enslave a person who know thyself.

Ok, but in some ways you will be diluting the struggle for Black freedom, justice and equality. Right down to that census answer. If you're mixed with African/Black ancestry, especially in the U.S., I feel you got an obligation to stand with that struggle. And whoever your "white side" is, they should have recognized that off top. In the U.S. anyway. Your "mixedness" ain't gonna give you white privilege, I tell you that. Ask Donte Wright's family as one example. I recognized that early as a youth. So, for me, I cleave to the Black. And my white mother also understood what she signed up for in marrying my dad and coming to U.S. We never lived in no white communities in '60, '61, you feel me? 😅
I know many mixed girls that never had an issue and the difference is those ppl didn’t come into blk spaces expecting blk ppl to bow down to them based on the ytness in them. Those ppl also never made sideways comments like “omg Kesha Toya just stepped on my shoe! She only did it to me Bc I’m a beautiful blue eyed ice princess with long yt ppl hair”! Blk ppl do not agree nor are they jealous when they call out this disgusting behavior from half blk ppl! Go colonize yt ppl and stop trying to colonize us based on ur closeness to yt!

I’m mixed and I empathize with dark black women who may have assumptions about me. Everything we go through, darker women get it TEN FOLD. And we all know that. Spread more understanding, they are hurting and that’s why. Being mixed is a blessing and I think we should look at it as such and continue to express empathy towards our black side. We’re all in this together and we are all beautiful!
You’re just feeling guilt and you don’t want to only represent the side where the grass is greener. I sometimes get mistaken for being mixed, minus the curly hair, though my eyes are hazel/green so I understand where you come from about darker skinned people.
Nah. Darker skinned women get it tenfold from dark skinned men. Always. Stop lumping light skinned women and men into this to cover for dark skinned men who put you on a pedestal as a light skinned woman. I'm a light skinned dude and I know exactly what the problem is. Dark skinned men fetishize you over their own women an call you cute and call them ugly. It's not your fault or dark skinned women's fault. It's dark skinned men's fault. Stop babying them and coddling them. That there, is your fault in all of this. Stop this light skinned self hating , self deprecating , pro dark skinned savior, nonsense. Blaming light skinned people instead of the perpetrators... which is dark skinned men and the white men they learned it from. Period. Stop coddling them. They are the only race of men on this planet that always has a bunch of women babying them and putting bottles in their mouths, while they use the white man's media to push out a larger than life image of the supposed alpha masculine image of themselves... when in reality they have been the main men to sell their people up the river for the favor of their white and arab and now chinese daddies. While historically and constantly getting their butts handed to them by everybody. Historically it was light skinned and light brown skinned people ( mainly men ) from egypt, north africa and the americas who have ever fought off or put the fear of god into arabs, europeans and asians or asiatic people. Nobody has ever taken the darker skinned male serious in all of known history. But you keep feeding that fake ego of their's, while you allow them to pedestal you over their own darker skinned women and you feel like downing us for even being born is the right way to go about speaking on colorism. Colorism is controlled by white men and dark skinned men in america and the world. Not lighter skinned men. Put the blame where it is due and stop trying to make light skinned people take penance for stuff that dark skinned men perpetrate on their own women, while hating lighter skinned men all because they want all the women ( darker skinned men), yet can't even control their own communities.
too many people consider people mixed with black as just black, and I feel that this is where a lot of hate comes from (which is still wrong) and this is especially in America. if you are mixed you are mixed and there is nothing wrong with that.
Unfortunately, it is not that simple. In America, there is still a black experience that is very different from what white people live. You live is determined by how you represent to other people. For example, I am a light-skinned black woman with two black parents. However, I have been discriminated against by black people who think I am mixed raced and white people who think I am Hispanic!
Da Truth that’s true, but most of us have less than 15% of non-African ancestry. I have 89% African ancestry while a person with a non black parent may have less than 50%, so there’s a huge difference

I think it's sad that we as blacks treat our mixed brothers and sisters so badly. We have a whole bunch of people who hate our blackness and here we knowing how awful that is turn around and do somebody else. If they are light skin with long curl hair, we instantly think they think they're better. Everybody deserves to belong. We don't choose, we have no control and we are all African decent. So let love and embrace our mixed people.
It's unfortunate but it is what it is. I'm mixed black and white. In my experience I've received the most flack from black people. As bad as it's been sometimes I don't feel the need to change for anybody. I just wish that people would not see my mom as my black mom or my dad as my white dad. I just want people to them as my parents because that's their most important role.
Thank you for yalls experiences. As a black woman in an interracial marriage. This will help me better be able to raise my future biracial [half black/white] children.
I'm both Black and Muslim. It have experienced prejudice on both ends. In my experience, people look down upon you, a lot of people are against me, people go out of their way to make you look bad, people judge you, you get turned down for jobs. It's hard.
@krystalthesubmaker I'm 29 weeks and I'm thinking of ways everyday to be a great parent for my biracial daughter. It's cool to see her share features of both me and my husband and she's absolutely perfect in every way I could imagine. Our families have so much love to give our baby. 💜

I’ve dealt with this a lot. My dad is Haitian and my mom is Filipino. I’m not Asian enough for the Asians and I’m not fully accepted by someone people in the Black community. It’s a constant struggle.
I've dealt with it, too. My dad was light skin, my mom dark skin. I'm not mixed. But, my skin is light and I get a lot of hate. I'm both Black and Muslim and deal with prejudice from both ends. People talk down to me, look down upon me, judge me, the police watch me, and people often go out of their way to make me look bad.
This is all about colorism as far as I'm concerned. It shouldn't be a surprise that a lot of black girls(dark-skinned in particular) start to resent biracial girls(not that that's right) when the black community goes out of their way to degrade unambiguous black women and pedestalize light-skinned biracial women this is the consequence. And yes light-skinned biracial people's looks are praised not only in the black community but by mainstream media. This is one of the things that happens when people have kids because they want them to look exotic(yes it's a thing).
This video is so sad I'm multiracial myself and I've never experienced colorism in Canada as a child. I've always considered myself Black even though my parents are both biracial. Years ago Canadians were always accepted us as Blacks, now things have changed when I tell people I'm Black they constantly ask me who's White in my family.
All mixed races are not gorgeous, are you serious...lol..Ive seen mostly non attractive ones even here in the video, especially black and white mixed kids..some of the cutest mixed kids are Mexican and black and Asian and black..But there is ugly and beauty in all races, I dont know where people get this notion that just because you're mixed youre automatically attractive, lol..look around there are some OOOGLY, not ugly, but OOOGLY mixed people..
Now that we've different mix races of people in the world today, just focus on your family and mind your business...all this colorization and disliking someone on their skin tone, needs to stop!!!
Why can’t mixed race just be a race in itself? Why do they have to be accepted by either race? They look different than both races which makes it hard for black or white races to accept them. I feel they should accept themselves first and embrace their mixed race just like black and white people do
Mixed people are not only white and black. Im white indian spanish arabic native american and north african. I embrace all of me. If others cant accept it too bad
I live in the Caribbean....I'm half indian and half black...and where im from mixed is admired it's not a problem here.... but its unfortunate that we hate each other period
The only story that bothers me is the only real black girl who thinks she's anything but black bcuz her mom is half n half. My dad is mixed also I look like I am, but I'm black. I identify as black. Ppl that want to be something they aren't bothers me.
@@eliharris6349 I will say that I've witnessed the misperception of beauty; like how you aren't viewed as pretty unless you're light skinned or mixed. I've personally had guys of other races tell me they aren't attracted to black women unless they are biracial or light skinned. Its a shame and those kind of ppl and that mentality I can't be bothered with. I've worked in careers where I've experienced a lot of diversity, hurt, and pain based on our appearance.
@@HolyGhostGurll I agree she wants to be something she isn't she's more than 75% black with every generation our genetics are diluted she looks all black to me. Hell I go out and ppl ask me what are you? Are you biracial, Hispanic, Brazilian, Egyptian?! I be like nah black...
@@meganfritz7376 black comes is all shades she should be happy with who she is seems she has some kind of resentment. No one asks her if she's mixed no one at all.. She probably walked up to them while they were recording bcuz literally everyone else in the video was half and half of one race or another. She can twist her hair out all she wants to make it look less textured but she ain't fooling no one..

Thank you so much for posting this! People don’t understand the hardships mixed race people get. It gives a perspective for others that don’t understand how people judge, make fun of, and even disclude us from groups because we do not fit in each box.
Sad 😢 to say but we as blacks are mistreated by our own kind. We have to break that curse and love ❤️ and uplift each other every chance we get🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Sis DEUTERONOMY 28:15-68 are the curses you speak of and its because were not being told the magnitude as Gods Laws and how to keep them and we are lied to not only by our oppressors but our own kind who have been EDUCATED and indoctrinated in False teachings...The most high tells us things to do and not to do to inherit eternal life but the heathen tells you otherwise like perse you see danm near every commercial for food with some type of entree with swine, pork, bacon, ham, bruschetta in it on it around it but the most high tells us not to partake Leviticus 11:7 and this not only destroys the body but most importantly the soul like its no big deal.
Growing up biracial I will say this, I have dealt with racist white people just like I have dealt with racist black people. I have been loved and accepted by white people, just as I was loved and accepted by black people. You cannot generalize an entire race. If ypu do then YOU are the racist. There are good and bad in every race, just as there is good and bad in each and every human being. Racism is such lower brain thinking, we should have evolved past this by now. Love and light to all life everywhere 💕
I hate when pleople say you're "acting black" or "acting white." I have never been able to fit in with any race because people project onto you whatever they think you should be based on how you look. I was never able to adjust to those types of expectations.
@@georgeboehringer5530 I guess I look like a black person with a medium skin tone(?) I look like both of my parents. My mother's skin is a bit darker than mine, and my father's skin is a bit lighter, so I guess I would say I look like a perfect mix between the two. My older sister and brother, however, both have a much lighter skin tone than my father, even though we all look alike with the same features otherwise. My mother was an English professor. She always encouraged us to speak correct English. When I spoke proper English growing up, people often accused me of "acting white." Whenever I chose to dress a certain way and speak however I wanted, people often accused me of "acting black." That has always confused me because I never tried to "act" like anything but myself.
'Just be yourself', great advice. It only bothers me that 'race' seems to be so significant to so many people when really no two people are the same & we're all a huge bundle of different skin & hair & eye colours, different heights & features, different tastes & personalities, different cultures & beliefs, all overlapping & intermingling to make a world full of people who are all different but all the same, all human, at once. I think the ways we're all the same yet all different are incredible & I think the film illustrates it really well :)
The parents can't... they aren't the same to their child. You can't teach them what you aren't. They are combinations of both. All the tools in the world don't prepare them.

@@obsidianbeauty76 WW And Mixed Women or "Light Skin Women" hahaha very different categories.. Also who mentioned beauty? Maybe that's what your jealousy stems from since you bring it up but others, could be stemmed from something else. Beauty didn't come from BW nor did they create the human race but neither did WW, I think you are referring to a certain gene hm? Trust me i've researched this a looonng time ago and spoke to many Black Supremacists, I know what you are talking about and also found out that they are just the same as White Supremacists. Insecure losers who will spend their lifetime being jealous and insecure and finding ways to temporarily make themselves superior, even for just a second. Even if it means on spending time talking about something as silly as their skin. You want answers? Ask your creator. Not man. You wont find true wisdom that way, trust me on that.
@@Stopthecäq looks is the reason YOU brought up jealousy and there is no other reason..Girl yall have been jealous of BW since forever which is why yall pay to alter your whole body to look like us but its ok, I understand this beauty we posses will definitely be coveted...You even talk like a jealous WW, the fact that you spent "loooong" years researching US..lmao!! Yes we created humanity so why do we need to be jealous when beauty originated from us...deal with it😘

I am multiracial and born in Africa I am so glad that I was born in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 here there is no confusion as we all have our place. We are called coloureds, it's not derogatory, it's just that we are mixed. I went to school with other coloureds, lived in neighborhood that just had coloured people. Today its different and we all just live wherever we want and can send our kids to any school. We do not have an identity crisis, as we are coloureds, we know who we are Not black or white just another race
@@moonmarie281 No the US actually use to refer to us as colored my mom who was born in the 50s birth certificate literally says colored for ethnicity.

I swear light skinned and mixed women love to play the Oppression Olympics when it comes to discussing colorism that affects dark skinned women. Yes they have they had their struggles but everytime a dark skinned women who get the brunt of colorism try to get their point across it's like "What about me" :/

Racial mix only seems to be an issue when black is involved. Not many other races care if you're mixed with white or something else....but if black is in the mix....ohhhh you gotta choose a side!!! It's hard on the kids and confusing as all get out!!! Great documentary sir!!!
Erm... There is an imposed, generational reason for this... It took 100s of years to construct it. Go to Africa and its not an issue. In most African countries the term 'black', 'white' is not used
@Lee Smith I'm sure your parents are proud, I hope youre never sick and a black doctor has the misfortune of saving your life, or your home has a fire and a black firefighter saves your home etc! I'm sure you don't follow any sports as all TEAMS have a mixture of players likewise I'm sure you only appreciate white artist's music, and only eat food that derives from predominantly white places like potatoes maybe? I don't know what country you live in but i sure hope it's not America as you'd be a bit hypocritical to know that over 99 percent of the people there are immigrants or decend from immigrants, and know this whatever someone's skin tone is, slit their wrists they all bleed red!

Exactly. Most of it stems from the origin of self hate passed off as black pride. By and large I've been "accepted" as being black, tho I'm clearly mixed, because I've lived in black spaces a majority of my life. But Afro-americans make me laugh when they act as if they arent mixed with traces of something along their genetic heritage. Fr if ur not str8 from Africa u mixed with sumthin js
It should just be called hatism
..cause that's all it really is. When someone trys to justify hating someone else and that's the only excuse they can find. It's just pure hatefulness.
What you said is true but prejudice and hate is everywhere black people are discriminated by the whole world.

I'm mixed with Asian and Black and I identify myself as what I am.. Asian and Black. I don't care what other people say.. I identify as who I am. I will not and do not let people put me in a box. I wasn't free just to be me. I was ashamed of myself for many years. Because, of the racism from my mom (long story) and blacks.
@arron baker it's sad that, we have to go through racism with our own flesh and birth. The same woman who birth me ended up hated me because, my dad being black. Now, granted my dad treated my mom like crap ,but that didn't give her the excuse to not to be a mother to me. For the longest, I tried dressing different, speaking different, having more white friends ( even though she's Asian) to try and win her live and affection. Then one day, I stopped trying to reach out to her and stopped trying to be someone whom, I wasn't meant to be. Even though I moved on, that pain will never go away but it will never take over my life.
@arron baker my mom is born and raised from Bangkok, Thailand. I mainly grew up on base housing because my father was in the military. I didn't experience any major types of racism until, I went to public school in a predominantly black neighborhood in the 7 to 10th.. then my jr and sr year, I went to school in Ca and didn't experience any type of racism because, the school was a melting pot of different cultures.

I like this documentary, thank you for giving us mixed folk a voice.
Jasmin Sokolies you are welcome boo
We are all one.
I checked back and my post was deleted, so let me give you the real deal of what is going on to prevent from this being deleted. The reason why black Americans treat us differently is because for years and years we have been told that we were not beautiful, that anything white was beautiful. The finer the hair, the more beautiful you are, the smaller the nose ect, ect. This is called conscious conditioning. When Harriet Tubman tried freeing slaves, some wouldn’t go with her because they thought the life their slave masters gave them was the way, that was all they knew, the slave masters conditioned them that way and the slaves had kids and they taught them that mentality, and continued for many generations. The slave masters conditioned them to think the whites were superior, so anything close to their color or hair was not beautiful. When it comes down to it don’t pay attention to it, don’t take it personally because they don’t feel their own self worth. Its not their fault, but they have no excuse to treat people that way because they know damn well how it feels but they are stuck in that sunken place and they need to learn that it’s all conditioning and find their self worth because if they had it, they wouldn’t let what your mixed with bother them.
Got to add "your voice" to the voices of your Black people for the struggle, tho
For sure 💯

as a mixed person, I can say that the hardest thing is to lay in the middle. you're never here or there.

@@BlueberrySummertime I totally agree. I was talking about the hardest part tho. and for me the limbo is hard most of the time. but of course there are many positive things too about it. I got curly 3B hair, so I struggle with shrinkage, just not as much as a black person does, but I also can't just wake up and brush my hair like an asian or most white people do.

Why would it be difficult? A child is a child no matter what colour. So u mean its difficult for a white/pink/red woman to raise a pink child with brown or black hair? Or is it difficult to raise those without blue , green eyes? Are u raising appearance or raising a human with red blood lime u?

If you don’t decide who you are people will tell you who you are. And people have always tried to tell mixed people how to identify and we don’t have to. We can love both sides equally. And if that bothers you maybe you should look into yourself and see why instead of asking others about something they can’t control.
You know Britney I don't think that's the case anymore I think with the way the world is and everything people don't look at that no more I know so many mixed couples in there so happy who cares anymore life is so short and if you find somebody that makes you happy and turns your head and make that heart pump who cares you go with heart not people .

I went through the same shit with my sister *we have different fathers* when I was younger, & she's beyond beautiful in her smooth brown skin. I just wish she felt that way but it permanently affected our relationship because she low key hates me for it. When I moved to the suburbs, her true feelings about me were exposed. She tells people I think I'm better than everyone because I'm 'lightskinned' but she smiles in my face.. & it hurts because there's nothing I can do about that. I can't help the way I was born man😔

To everyone saying 'Oh mixed people don't have anything to say they have white privilege..' um NO. I am mixed I am mostly black and I am lighter skinned a lot of my features you can't even tell what race I look like. I have all of west and sub-saharan african in me, and 0.2%native american. Some reason my genetics decided to pull from that small percentage and make me look more like that. If you looked at me you wouldn't know what I am. I've lived in poverty my ENTIRE LIFE, ain't no lighter skinned 'privilege' has benefited me in any way shape or form. In fact I've experienced racism from ALL sides. Especially darker skinned black people. They feel uncomfortable around me because they don't know what I am, then they discover I am black and don't know what to do with me because I'm 'not like them enough'. The white people, mexicans, asians, all races don't know what to do with me so I never fit in anywhere at all and grew up very lonely. And I've been bullied extensively from everyone from it. I can't even walk into my grandmas room without her talking about my skin color and everyone in my family who is darker skinned. No privilege has helped me in my life what so ever, domestic abuse, divorced parents, mental illness with no help, trauma for all 3 of us, too poor to even afford nice shoes for years and years, having no choice but to eat rotten food from the food drive, living in a roach infested craphole of an apartment for all of my highschool years. I've lived in the lowest class of america and am barely getting out of it due to my family's hard work and blood sweat and tears.And I live in california the place where everyone is supposed to be accepted but no...i've lived that life. So please shut up with all of that and go to sleep. Stop being racist and accept people and there stories for what they are. Get over yourself and have compassion for other people. IT. DOES. NOT.

Battlea great comment
As someone who’s mixed race it’s nice to watch a video based on some of the things we face. I’ve always had a hard time with my identity especially when I was a child. I was never “white” enough or “black” enough so I’ve always considered us mixed race people to be our own race 😭 these people are talking about being bullied by white folks but I was severely bullied by black people growing up for “acting white”, being into anime, thinking I’m all that because I’m lighter. I grew up in a white household so I didn’t realize this lightskin vs darkskin bullshit was even a thing until I entered high school!
Ayanna janae .Wow you're very beautiful!!!! Mixed race people are some of the most beautiful people.I'm sorry you had a hard time.
Candy Gurl I’m biracial...that “one drop” rule is something whites created to separate us. But according to my dna, biology, and genetics I’m not black. I’m part black, yes but I identify as biracial because that’s what I am. You can call me black but my dna says other wise.
@@yanniatx Amen, ignorance comes from well-meaning people too. You're right if you have parents of two or more races you are therefore mix-raced. Common sense.
Ayanna Janae you get it from one side or the other. I truly think if biracial children accepted they are biracial they would find a greater since of pride instead of trying to fit in. I don't think it's something your suppose to choose.
I'm also mixed race, I'm glad you think we are our own race , stay true to your race
If you are in a predominately black environment then you’re going to feel like you get more problems from black people and if you are in a predominately white environment then you’re going to feel like you get more problems from white people so I don’t think it’s fair to ask which race gave you the most problems. It’s going to be from whatever race makes up the majority of your environment. The question would make more sense if these people were in an equally mixed environment.
We r America we r in a mixed enverment!
@SharonCovin thank you 👏👏👏
I'm an American. Not an African American or European American . Thank you for this. This video helped my talk to my kids about being mixed race Americans.
Mixed or pure blooded it doesn't matter to me. Everyone is a human being to me.
You are a dumb ass, it's about DNA which you know nothing about.

Wow a lot of people in the comments hating on mixed people. And im just over here texting my *white* dad and *black* mom, about how much i love them for raising me to be apart of both cultures while still respecting that im a part of neither of them. All my mixed people out there gotta stay strong against this -HATE-
You come from two beautiful people that care and that's why you care.
Unfortunately I don't know why recently folks are gating on mixed folks. This didn't happen when I was growing up.
Yeah they will come over here in our space with that disgusting behavior just ignore them! 🤍
I’m a biracial women my mom is black and my dad is white and I feel so confident in myself
Good🌞👍🏻!They likely taught you healthy self-esteem & that's very beneficial for every person's mental health because ultimately someone will always be a jerk no matter who/what you are.
Majority of people born in the Americas are likely mixed with a bit of White, black and indigenous. Obviously it will vary from where you come from. Just be proud of who you are and who you identify as. You don’t owe anyone an explanation
What a world we live in. Racism, sexism and classism . Smh why can't we just see people as people
Just like human nature the last racist the more classes
Its about money
Mlucious67 It's too late for that unfortunally. :-(
People ask me "what are you?" I respond "I'm human" society makes you think you aren't.
That’s call jealousy. they say crap because they think we feel that we are better then them and that’s ignorance.
As a black woman, I'm ashamed to have grown up hating being black and wanting to be mixed so I could seem exotic. Watching this has opened my eyes to a lot of the adversities that mixed people face. Every race is beautiful though. We should all embrace who we are. And we should accept each other for what/who we are.
Black is beautiful madam...here's one believer of that fact...im Asian by the way but in my eyes black women are more attractive than whites( no offense to them)
Yeah u must, becuase I'm mixed, African asian, but when I was a kid I always being straight hair, and now I get regret for it, sometimes I can't accept because i have light skin so that people sometimes not believe if I'm African asian, i love being black, black is beauty, u must proud of it sist, hope ur always be happy with ur skin ❤️
@@nurvamiliano3247Whether your hair is straight or curly, it's beautiful. Embrace it. Embrace your light skin. That's the way that The Most High made you. I also have light skin, but I'm black and I love it. You're beautiful as a mixed African & Asian woman, just as I am a beautiful black woman. I've grown to love my black ethnicity as an adult. It is just unfortunate that I didn't realize that black is beautiful as a child.
Jeremiah is handsome.
Some of us mixed are dark skinned.
Two cultures/ethnicities having children isn't the problem. The problem is external. Other people.

No one cares but insecure haters
All Things Yellow i think we should kill the other people , especially the "white dudes " - what do you think ?
Americans have so many hang ups about race. In other countries being mixed isn’t even an issue.
very true!
U right but in where we stay in breaux bridge louisiana it is when me and my kids are out ae get dirty looks from a lot of people out here even when my husband is with my kids and myself but it doesn't bother me no more because i knew siince i was young my kids were going to be biracial
That's bullshit

That’s so weird. Southern Louisiana is the only place I felt not only accepted but celebrated. Chicago was the worst, even more so than anywhere else in the south.
Ashley Magee Turner "I knew since I was young my kids were going to be biracial"
Those dirty looks are well deserved
For those of you who have a problem with this documentary and are not mixed. Why are you here? It wasn't made for you in the first place. You can't possibly understand what these people have gone through, not being like them. Please do them a favor and get lost. 😉
It's Me big FACTS 💯💯
Wow lol this just proves that we are divided.
Christians are required to rebuke abomination
Being mixed you have to deal with other peoples insecurities much more than other folks
You're expected to lower yourself so others can feel proud of who they are. I'm tired.
I am biracial and proud of it now, but as a youngster I was bullied and tormented.
Be proud of it. Be proud. The future belongs to mixed race people.
If you are mixed, you never identify yourself as one thing. My sons are bi-racial. They are Filipino and Black. They don't go as just Black but "Bi-racial" or directly "Filipino and Black."
Unfortunately society will choose for them, they have to be ready for that.

Lol hilarious and true!
@Reproductive Technology Is Eugenics And your point was what? I think we're all aware that Irish is an nationality. I'm pretty sure we know the indifference in so called white ppl. At least I do thx
@Reproductive Technology Is Eugenics what is associated to and towards ppl are stereotypes. There's plenty of black ppl in Ireland do your research b4 assuming and labeling ppl based on a lack of understanding. White ppl were in slims/projects b4 the words inner city existed so how do u associate that as being black? Guns are imported, and very forgien but yet u associate that with just black. Smh go do some real research and expand your mind.
I went to Cuba where 52% of the Cubans are of black heritage. It was a life changing experience.
African Heritage. Cuba is a massive mix of colors and racism was reduced (not erased) due to the revolution. People do not blink an eye at multiracial relationships there.
Race is a social construct.
As far as the "culture" associated with a race, true. You cannot, however, deny the biological aspects.
Race is a biblical construct. It was God who first divided the races for a specific reason
@@deborahnorton6663 Man created the bible. The stories within it were written and rewritten by man not GOD. Subscribing to ideology created by man. think about that.
@@bendakstarkiller1270 Humor me with specifics.
@@ElfinPrincess Meaning? 0bviously, for instance, Asians are less hairy than whites, blacks have more curly hair, etc.
As far as the culture that one associates with a particular race or ethnicity- that is purely a social construct.
The issue is not that they don't know what race they are. The issue is that we still divide humans and labeling them in races. They are not mixed, not black, not white. They are human.
It seems like our society is trained to judge a book by its cover although we all know better. Craziest thing about it all is many of us are bi-racial & don't even know it. But the labeling is so bad it seems that we forget that we are all just HUMANS!
Marcel Woke- We live in a society where we're just a product/number being tracked/monitored and controlled by the government through census/technology. The issue is that the majority of people are programmed to be literal, they only see or identify with what's on the external/surface. Since birth, we've all been conditioned with these in groups and out groups experiments. By unknowingly embracing/consenting to labels and by joining various cults/organizations is helping the governments agenda along. It's always been about divide and conquer.
I'm the truth- Yes, it was Europeans who invented racism/caste systems that was imposed upon all nations of people regardless of what they look like. Unfortunately, all nations of people, including POC themselves foolishly embraced this "white supremacist" idea that was imposed upon them. It's evident that it had an negative influence on countless of minds because some felt compelled themselves or by others to alter their own appearance in order to assimilate to the European standards of beauty or their culture/traditions/customs/doctrines. Furthermore, non-Europeans participated by mocking ridiculing/humiliating POC for their appearance, promoted "colorism" amongst their own family/fellowman who weren't pale or light skinned and some even chose to alienate themselves from own families/fellowman that were deemed "black" or dark skinned in order to appease their oppressors and live a more comfortable lifestyle but still remain enslaved to the human powers/oppressors that they themselves idolize/worshipped. There are people of all shades of colors, backgrounds/status and all levels of life that support "white supremacy" even if their skin is not pale or light because they are obsessed/worship and idolize "whiteness" and what it stands for. Some rather be a comfortable slave to self-worship or their own addictions/sins in their disregard for freedom and justice to all. Moreover, the idol worshippers are willfully dedicated to a European supremacy belief system despite the fact that it exploits, misleads and disadvantages others. That's why many people are waking up and psychologically preparing to detach themselves from the beliefs of an entire system itself because they clearly see that people regardless of color have become insane sociopaths who are only out for themselves. This is nothing new, this madness has been going on since antiquity, it's just that the deception has re-invent itself and it is subtle, sinister and craftier. This issue we're all dealing with goes deeper than what we see on the surface. The color of the skin or what's superficial is just a distraction and used as a weapon against those who are deceived/blindsided. The moral of the story is that's it's impossible to enslave a person who know thyself.
I agree! This American obsession with color is so sickening!
Facts
I am Trinidadinan mixed with african, indian and spanish. I AM MIXED.....PROUD OF IT. to deny one is to deny your parents. SORRY NOT DOING IT. MIXED, MIXED.
Ok, but in some ways you will be diluting the struggle for Black freedom, justice and equality. Right down to that census answer. If you're mixed with African/Black ancestry, especially in the U.S., I feel you got an obligation to stand with that struggle. And whoever your "white side" is, they should have recognized that off top. In the U.S. anyway. Your "mixedness" ain't gonna give you white privilege, I tell you that. Ask Donte Wright's family as one example. I recognized that early as a youth. So, for me, I cleave to the Black. And my white mother also understood what she signed up for in marrying my dad and coming to U.S. We never lived in no white communities in '60, '61, you feel me? 😅
I am mixed and I have never had a problem . Happy and well adjusted would never change anything.
GREAT STAND PROUD!!
I know many mixed girls that never had an issue and the difference is those ppl didn’t come into blk spaces expecting blk ppl to bow down to them based on the ytness in them. Those ppl also never made sideways comments like “omg Kesha Toya just stepped on my shoe! She only did it to me Bc I’m a beautiful blue eyed ice princess with long yt ppl hair”! Blk ppl do not agree nor are they jealous when they call out this disgusting behavior from half blk ppl! Go colonize yt ppl and stop trying to colonize us based on ur closeness to yt!

And I've never picked on on mix people and they never called me blacky or crispy. But I do understand their struggles by being bully by dark skin blacks. Biracial people are the most beautiful people. I don't have a issue with biracial people

elizabeth browndamn right
I’m mixed and I empathize with dark black women who may have assumptions about me. Everything we go through, darker women get it TEN FOLD. And we all know that. Spread more understanding, they are hurting and that’s why. Being mixed is a blessing and I think we should look at it as such and continue to express empathy towards our black side. We’re all in this together and we are all beautiful!
Yeah but as a mixed man myself we should still appreciate both sides we aren’t black and we aren’t white where both races
You’re just feeling guilt and you don’t want to only represent the side where the grass is greener. I sometimes get mistaken for being mixed, minus the curly hair, though my eyes are hazel/green so I understand where you come from about darker skinned people.
Nah. Darker skinned women get it tenfold from dark skinned men. Always. Stop lumping light skinned women and men into this to cover for dark skinned men who put you on a pedestal as a light skinned woman. I'm a light skinned dude and I know exactly what the problem is. Dark skinned men fetishize you over their own women an call you cute and call them ugly. It's not your fault or dark skinned women's fault. It's dark skinned men's fault. Stop babying them and coddling them. That there, is your fault in all of this. Stop this light skinned self hating , self deprecating , pro dark skinned savior, nonsense. Blaming light skinned people instead of the perpetrators... which is dark skinned men and the white men they learned it from. Period. Stop coddling them. They are the only race of men on this planet that always has a bunch of women babying them and putting bottles in their mouths, while they use the white man's media to push out a larger than life image of the supposed alpha masculine image of themselves... when in reality they have been the main men to sell their people up the river for the favor of their white and arab and now chinese daddies. While historically and constantly getting their butts handed to them by everybody. Historically it was light skinned and light brown skinned people ( mainly men ) from egypt, north africa and the americas who have ever fought off or put the fear of god into arabs, europeans and asians or asiatic people. Nobody has ever taken the darker skinned male serious in all of known history. But you keep feeding that fake ego of their's, while you allow them to pedestal you over their own darker skinned women and you feel like downing us for even being born is the right way to go about speaking on colorism. Colorism is controlled by white men and dark skinned men in america and the world. Not lighter skinned men. Put the blame where it is due and stop trying to make light skinned people take penance for stuff that dark skinned men perpetrate on their own women, while hating lighter skinned men all because they want all the women ( darker skinned men), yet can't even control their own communities.
Did you know that some dark black people are mixed too most black people are mixed because of slavery
@edgarjx1 shut up dumbass!! He is mixed and he can identify how ever he wants
I dont know why people bash mixed face people. They have some of the most unique and beautiful Features
too many people consider people mixed with black as just black, and I feel that this is where a lot of hate comes from (which is still wrong) and this is especially in America. if you are mixed you are mixed and there is nothing wrong with that.
75% of black people in the US is mixed with something.
Unfortunately, it is not that simple. In America, there is still a black experience that is very different from what white people live. You live is determined by how you represent to other people. For example, I am a light-skinned black woman with two black parents. However, I have been discriminated against by black people who think I am mixed raced and white people who think I am Hispanic!
Da Truth that’s true, but most of us have less than 15% of non-African ancestry. I have 89% African ancestry while a person with a non black parent may have less than 50%, so there’s a huge difference
@@datruth8665 God did not make mixed people he made solid color mongrels are a deviation of God's creation therefore an abomination

I think it's sad that we as blacks treat our mixed brothers and sisters so badly. We have a whole bunch of people who hate our blackness and here we knowing how awful that is turn around and do somebody else. If they are light skin with long curl hair, we instantly think they think they're better. Everybody deserves to belong. We don't choose, we have no control and we are all African decent. So let love and embrace our mixed people.
It's unfortunate but it is what it is. I'm mixed black and white. In my experience I've received the most flack from black people. As bad as it's been sometimes I don't feel the need to change for anybody. I just wish that people would not see my mom as my black mom or my dad as my white dad. I just want people to them as my parents because that's their most important role.

People talk down to me, look down upon me, judge me, the police watch me, and people often go out of their way to make me look bad.
This is all about colorism as far as I'm concerned. It shouldn't be a surprise that a lot of black girls(dark-skinned in particular) start to resent biracial girls(not that that's right) when the black community goes out of their way to degrade unambiguous black women and pedestalize light-skinned biracial women this is the consequence. And yes light-skinned biracial people's looks are praised not only in the black community but by mainstream media. This is one of the things that happens when people have kids because they want them to look exotic(yes it's a thing).
This video is so sad I'm multiracial myself and I've never experienced colorism in Canada as a child. I've always considered myself Black even though my parents are both biracial.

Now that we've different mix races of people in the world today, just focus on your family and mind your business...all this colorization and disliking someone on their skin tone, needs to stop!!!
Right?
Why can’t mixed race just be a race in itself? Why do they have to be accepted by either race? They look different than both races which makes it hard for black or white races to accept them. I feel they should accept themselves first and embrace their mixed race just like black and white people do
Mixed people are not only white and black. Im white indian spanish arabic native american and north african. I embrace all of me. If others cant accept it too bad

Sis DEUTERONOMY 28:15-68 are the curses you speak of and its because were not being told the magnitude as Gods Laws and how to keep them and we are lied to not only by our oppressors but our own kind who have been EDUCATED and indoctrinated in False teachings...The most high tells us things to do and not to do to inherit eternal life but the heathen tells you otherwise like perse you see danm near every commercial for food with some type of entree with swine, pork, bacon, ham, bruschetta in it on it around it but the most high tells us not to partake Leviticus 11:7 and this not only destroys the body but most importantly the soul like its no big deal.
real talk.. it goes very deep thou.. most of us are broken
@NothingButTruth if thts how u feel then so be it, be blessed 😇 🤞🏾🤞🏾
That black female keeps stating that she is light skin. Hell she doesn't even look biracial.
On god you right
Which one?
That’s what I said
Growing up biracial I will say this, I have dealt with racist white people just like I have dealt with racist black people. I have been loved and accepted by white people, just as I was loved and accepted by black people. You cannot generalize an entire race. If ypu do then YOU are the racist. There are good and bad in every race, just as there is good and bad in each and every human being. Racism is such lower brain thinking, we should have evolved past this by now. Love and light to all life everywhere 💕
The pathology of some mixed people have definitely made me rethink ever birthing one..
Wow
You could say what about any people dummy
Get help.
I hate when pleople say you're "acting black" or "acting white." I have never been able to fit in with any race because people project onto you whatever they think you should be based on how you look. I was never able to adjust to those types of expectations.
i understand that
Your mother knew she was doing wrong when she laid with your father parents ate the sour grapes the children's teeth rot
@@georgeboehringer5530 I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say, but both of my parents are black.
@@Nauq00 what do you look like?
@@georgeboehringer5530 I guess I look like a black person with a medium skin tone(?) I look like both of my parents. My mother's skin is a bit darker than mine, and my father's skin is a bit lighter, so I guess I would say I look like a perfect mix between the two. My older sister and brother, however, both have a much lighter skin tone than my father, even though we all look alike with the same features otherwise.
My mother was an English professor. She always encouraged us to speak correct English. When I spoke proper English growing up, people often accused me of "acting white." Whenever I chose to dress a certain way and speak however I wanted, people often accused me of "acting black." That has always confused me because I never tried to "act" like anything but myself.
There are many black people who look white and very light skin like me but we are whole black, so I don't get this race shit, who cares
True but some people are ignorant ..
Entire non-black family cut them off...
Q: Who gave you the most problems? "Black girls".
🙄
Becca R 😂
They try to make BW look bad
'Just be yourself', great advice. It only bothers me that 'race' seems to be so significant to so many people when really no two people are the same & we're all a huge bundle of different skin & hair & eye colours, different heights & features, different tastes & personalities, different cultures & beliefs, all overlapping & intermingling to make a world full of people who are all different but all the same, all human, at once. I think the ways we're all the same yet all different are incredible & I think the film illustrates it really well :)
the problem is that the parents didnt give the children the tools to explain their racial identity-
Yoso Mejia- Moik omg that’s way nicer Thn the way I been explaining
@Alec scott they really shouldn't have to, I agree...but sadly sometimes its required because of ignorance, intolerance or just plain stupid..lol
Simple explanation both my parents pissed in the gene pool without regard to my future or the future of their people
@@georgeboehringer5530 where r u from George, if you don't mind telling me.
The parents can't... they aren't the same to their child. You can't teach them what you aren't. They are combinations of both.
All the tools in the world don't prepare them.
Mexican is not a race it’s a nationality.
That was then ..now Mexicans for the last 4oo years a mix race ....Spaniards ..French ...even American now black too and oriental
@Trahern Moore what happens thousands of years has nothing to do with the now Mexicans
@Trahern Moore besides you were not there too see that evidence ..you learn that from others so call experts ...just theories
@Trahern Moore your wrong Mexican is the new name WE ARE A TRIBE MEHICAS...BUT WE ARE NOT TEN THOUSANDS YEARS BACK WE ARE MIX NOW ...YOU RELY ON WHAT OTHER SAY ..EUROPEAN THEORIES .NOT MEXICOS REAL HISTORY ..UNLESS.WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MIX RACE NOW ...UNDERTAND NOT THEORIES ..TODAYS MIX KIDS ...FOCUS
@Trahern Moore don't need too read b.s. ..u wernt there so ur facts relying on THEORIES...period ..learn to read the topic was mix race not b.s. Israel theories stop writing too me
"which Race gave you the most problems" why because it's assumed that mixed kids will get a pass, sometimes it's jealousy
all the times it's jealousy
@@Stopthecäq its not because yall look better, not by a long shot, its because of WS and how blacks especially black women were told we're ugly while WW, mostly non attractive WW, were put on pedestals...so its not the same type of jealousy people seem to forget that beauty comes from the BW since she is the one who birthed the human race..
@@obsidianbeauty76 WW And Mixed Women or "Light Skin Women" hahaha very different categories.. Also who mentioned beauty? Maybe that's what your jealousy stems from since you bring it up but others, could be stemmed from something else. Beauty didn't come from BW nor did they create the human race but neither did WW, I think you are referring to a certain gene hm? Trust me i've researched this a looonng time ago and spoke to many Black Supremacists, I know what you are talking about and also found out that they are just the same as White Supremacists. Insecure losers who will spend their lifetime being jealous and insecure and finding ways to temporarily make themselves superior, even for just a second. Even if it means on spending time talking about something as silly as their skin. You want answers? Ask your creator. Not man. You wont find true wisdom that way, trust me on that.
@@Stopthecäq looks is the reason YOU brought up jealousy and there is no other reason..Girl yall have been jealous of BW since forever which is why yall pay to alter your whole body to look like us but its ok, I understand this beauty we posses will definitely be coveted...You even talk like a jealous WW, the fact that you spent "loooong" years researching US..lmao!! Yes we created humanity so why do we need to be jealous when beauty originated from us...deal with it😘
@@Stopthecäq and just for the record, you know nothing especially when it comes to us and look at me and look at you, WHY would I be jealous of YOU?? lmao
I am multiracial and born in Africa
I am so glad that I was born in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 here there is no confusion as we all have our place. We are called coloureds, it's not derogatory, it's just that we are mixed. I went to school with other coloureds, lived in neighborhood that just had coloured people. Today its different and we all just live wherever we want and can send our kids to any school. We do not have an identity crisis, as we are coloureds, we know who we are
Not black or white just another race
@cool 123 does the color green claim to be both blue and yellow?
I love that. I heard about that. The U.S is behind.
@@moonmarie281 No the US actually use to refer to us as colored my mom who was born in the 50s birth certificate literally says colored for ethnicity. They changed the name so many times it's crazy, I like colored by the way but I would love for the US to really call us by our original nationality before we gotten off the ships, but others stolen our true identity smh but by blood we still own it!
Be grateful that you don't live in the US. Its bad here.
i identify as mixed race because thats what i am
A proper person with a proper ethnic identity you are not you are a mixed-race bastard your parents did it to you and everyone around them
News Flash
*If your Father is Caucasian*
You ARE Caucasian
*If your Father is Black*
You are Black
Ain't no Gray Area in between Folks
✂ the Crap
@@eliharris6349 The 5 million coloured people in South Africa who's defining feature is that they're mixed race descended from multiple ethnicities would disagree with you there.
I swear light skinned and mixed women love to play the Oppression Olympics when it comes to discussing colorism that affects dark skinned women. Yes they have they had their struggles but everytime a dark skinned women who get the brunt of colorism try to get their point across it's like "What about me" :/
Stop All the Dark Skin Women in my Family Are Stunning and Stuck up this is Media playing with y’all 😂🍫
I’m mixed and I actually never had these problems
that doesn't mean nobody else hasn't, where are you from
SOATV I know I wasn’t trying to convey that I’m special just that I never had that problem maybe even yet Florida
@@alenalias2397 you must have been raised in a mixed community
Congrats, you're in the minority. Now stop pulling focus away from the people who DO have to deal with this shit.
Ace I seem to only have pulled you attention away and like I said I didn’t comment to make me seem special I commented to just say I haven’t experienced it and in my response to soatv I added maybe yet
I'm Black/Asian and Black people didn't give me problems, White/Asian people did. Regular white people too.
Racial mix only seems to be an issue when black is involved. Not many other races care if you're mixed with white or something else....but if black is in the mix....ohhhh you gotta choose a side!!! It's hard on the kids and confusing as all get out!!! Great documentary sir!!!
Erm... There is an imposed, generational reason for this... It took 100s of years to construct it. Go to Africa and its not an issue. In most African countries the term 'black', 'white' is not used
Mixed people shouldn’t have to deny there heritages regardless of what others say
@Lee Smith pardon?
@Lee Smith exactly what does your comment mean? And why is it relevant?
@Lee Smith that's fine but whats your point in saying that? You just wanna look like an asshole?
@Lee Smith I'm sure your parents are proud, I hope youre never sick and a black doctor has the misfortune of saving your life, or your home has a fire and a black firefighter saves your home etc! I'm sure you don't follow any sports as all TEAMS have a mixture of players likewise I'm sure you only appreciate white artist's music, and only eat food that derives from predominantly white places like potatoes maybe? I don't know what country you live in but i sure hope it's not America as you'd be a bit hypocritical to know that over 99 percent of the people there are immigrants or decend from immigrants, and know this whatever someone's skin tone is, slit their wrists they all bleed red! Ask yourself why you feel the need to be so judgemental it was something you were taught! Racism isn't natural! There is one race on this planet and that's human!
@AB straight facts
I’m mixed race! So if u mixed black paint 🎨 with white paint 🎨 what does that give u? Gray! 🤣 so, it’s not black! Not white! It’s gray! 🎉🎉 I’m mixed and I’m proud! But each to there own! Thumbs up 👍🏽
So we are the gray area 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 literally
@@Kitathegang My Great-Great Grandmother was white (Irish). my Great Grandfather was half white, my great Grandmother was half indian. My mother looks like my Grandmother. They're almost white. My Great Grandfather was an African so was my Grandfather. What does that make me? Black and proud.
The Borden’s World yep 👍🏽
That sounds stupid cause no one is really black And no one is really white this just man made terms
Funny, tho, you don't look grey 🤔 You feel me? Ain't no grey people
I consider myself multiracial. I no longer have a problem with whom I am. I appreciate all cultures and their traditions. I feel comfortable with all cultures and races. Since I had the opportunity to live and study in Mexico for several years I embrace the Mexican cultural. My wife is white and I have no problem with adapting to the white culture either. I also recognize my black culture either though most people don't think I'm black .
There is no such thing as white culture. Russians are nothing like Americans or Australians
