Realest words of the day Mixed people can fill a black role But black people cant fill a mixed role Just like how Storm from X-Men is dark skin in the comics and they made Halley Berry fill the spot
Blackish is based off the writer Kenya’s life while Mixedish is based off his wife’s life. I don’t see the problem sense it’s written from their perspectives.
I’m sorry Eloho I’m going to have to disagree with what you said at around 6:55. Biracial people (specifically black/white) do get rejected and made out to be outcasts. The fact that you’re trying to gaslight and basically brush that under the rug is disappointing. I love you but it’s not fair to brush real issues that biracial people go through under the rug. We don’t like that for ourselves we can’t do that to others.
Im mixed and people can't tell so when I tell em they be a bit surprised. Sometimes people won't believe that I am and that Im adopted😑 Others will think that they can shame black people just because I'm only half. Not all act like this but this but this is from experience.
I love how so many of y'all made comments like "mixed people didn't go through that, they were put on a pedestal!" and then right under your own comments, people are telling you about their real life experiences of being mistreated for being mixed, and their comments getting 100's of likes!!!🤣🤣
Siramad Backwards right it tends to be the opposite like “oooo😍what are u mixed with”or genuine curiosity like “what are u 🥴”but never aggression or disgust that’s a lie
@@ccolkidbby Thank you. I've seen them be viciously belittled, disrespected and despised. Some act as if their stories are the only ones that exist. No, it's not.
I’ve been called a mixed breed like animal by both dark-skin black women and white women. Just because you never heard it doesn’t mean it never happens.
Thank you for addressing how mixed ppl are allowed to play black but not the other way around, but ppl keep saying "we all black" it's counterproductive
They are not playing Black it is part of who they are.Also is there any 100 percent Black person?Almost every single Black person has something else in them.It's impossible not to since we are the original people.That means we gave birth to everything else.
@@sadiki1980 you dont understand its stupid for a biracial child to play the role of a black child because they are just not the same . one is called biracial for a reason u will never see a biracial kid play the role of a white child while they have the same pourcentage of DNA
If you are black, stop telling mixed people ABOUT THE MIXED EXPERIENCE. imagine a white person telling a black person about the BLACK EXPERIENCE. YOU SIMPLY DONT UNDERSTAND
@@hannahsingh-lawrence6623 How? I understand mixed people have struggles too but how do they have it worse then everyone else? The black community is accepting to mixed race, I can't say the exact same for white people (Cause I'm not white). Please elaborate for me. (I genuinely wanna be enlighten about how they get the most abuse out of everyone.)
Reverted RF rainbows mom does make an appearance in the show. She very fair skin almost “white passing”. She not a main character but secondary character.
They really act like brown or dark skin mix people aren’t a thing and won’t acknowledge them. It’s already bad enough they think the only mixture is to be black and white. They don’t seem to realize in media people can be half black and another race as well. Only black and white and lightskin.
I agree, we need to take a group genetics class bc I know a japanese/black girl and we are the same skintone. Until she opens her mouth to speak fluent Japanese ppl stereotype her skintone bc she's not Jhene Aiko blasian.
Y’all have to realize that black American families vary in shades. So therefore I don’t see an issue with a lot of the cast looking different. My brother is very dark, I’m brown, and my eldest brother is a lot lighter; while both of our parents are black.
Being a mixed person I can tell you for a fact that people do make fun of us just for being mixed. Back in the 40s-80s and even today if you were mixed with black you are considered black. Mixed people are told that our opinions on racial issues don’t matter because then we’re picking a side. And tbh I love being half black it’s something I’m very proud of but most of the hate I get is from my black (they’re Jamaican)family because they don’t like that I’m half white and from older white folks. For the longest time I hated the skin I was in because it did get me made fun of and not because of my hair or my clothes. I was called a mutt a half breed and everything under the sun. Love your channel but there’s just some things that need to be discussed in a different manner.
This girl got so much hate for mixed kids I don't see how you can love her channel. She didn't reply to a single comment by anyone mixed or show one hint of remorse for what she said. She doesn't like you even a little bit Sis.
Right, don't matter bout the clothes, I was fairly popular back in school but was still picked on for not being black enough, going as far as to be disowned by the black side of my family when I was younger for being too white
I agree with you. Mixed people do get shitted on especially when they can't fully say they're apart of a certain ethnicity cause it's always a Black vs White. With other mixes of race comes with the fact that the don't have an identity unless you look more dark skinned black or light skinned white. I get what you're saying, although I'm sparsely mixed I was born in America and grew up in Jamaica cause that's where my parents are from. It's hard being in the middle because you're forced to pick a side but when you do you still get shitted on and hated. It will never change unless the stigma lessens and people realize that every person can relate even if they don't look the same. Sorry for the hate you received but appreciate the fact that you're a beautiful person and that you're still loved by many and that's what matters.
To be honest I do have friends that are interracial and they did experience bullying because of the way they looked people couldn’t categorize them as being black or white so they were treated differently.
i've watched all 4 seasons of black-ish and tried to get into grown-ish but the Grown-ish episode on colorism & dating in college as a black woman disappointed me so much 🤦🏾♀️ how you gonna have an episode about colorism with no dark skin black women
GaLaXy G!RL Your not the only one... I tried to stay in it. But I only REALLY stayed for Jr. and the uncle... Because they were both very attractive to me.
I dont think any ish after blackish is needed. We get it. Center all our issues and move it in different directions. It's the shows no one asked for or need. Bye-bye. 😂😂
Thank you! As a light skin woman myself, I am fully aware of the lack of representation of darker skin women as well the disrespect towards darker skin women. However, light skin girls aren't always popular and are bully out of spite and jealousy. This isn't always the case though, but it is worth mentioning.
@@gabriellaboutte4921 Pokadots andWhatnots ik that and I believe shes talked about that it's not really a jealousy thing its it's more like some people think they're better than others
@@autumngreen9573 and I'm sorry for what happened to you as well. Bit its illogical to say black women aren't picked on a bunch by mixed women as well as white. Honestly, i think all shades of black pick on each other and get picked on by other races as well. Light skinned afro Latina's bully dark skinned ones, same thing in Egypt. It's disgusting. Everyone just needs to get along 😒😒😒
Love this channel. Why is it so hard to understand that mixed, biracial people can be picked on. Literally had people isolate me and get mad at me for it. You have to be one OR the other. Heard that for a lot of my grade school days.
True. B/W biracials have told me they were harassed and put down in school by AA people. So the scene in the cafeteria is actually mild and kind compared to the harsh things I have been told.
Being picked on for being “biracial” and being picked on for being “biracial and pretty” are two very different statements ...I have definitely been isolated for being biracial, not fitting in here or there....sometimes I feel a Lot of black men and women add “because you’re pretty” even when I didn’t mean that ...I love your channel just speaking my truth
@@9roselove9 No, because Yara Shahidi (who plays Zoey, the oldest daughter) is mixed-race (she's half black half iranian), Marcus Scribner (who plays Junior, oldest son) is also multi-racial (his father is black, his mother is 1/2 black 1/2 white) and Miles (twin brother, plays Jack) is mixed-race (half black half white). Only Dre (the father) and Diane (the twin sister) are actually black.
@@aIexademie yes irl their mixed but in the show the 3/4 black. They did a spinoff on rainbow because of her characters background, being raised by hippies, and not really knowing her blacl side.
Hi Eloho, in countries where there are more than 5 indigenous languages in one country, Biracial people are often bullied and excluded, and I know this from firsthand experience. I'm mixed and from Africa; Namibia x
@@reannak4886 Ik I'm late asf but I would like to say politely that you can't really say that because you don't really know. From experience I was called a mutt followed by ppl barking at me everyday at school. It got to the point where I literally fought this girl at school for cutting a piece of my hair and putting it on her head. A lot of ppl wanna call it a sob story but it's the truth. I don't discredit non mixed ppl for what they go through because EVERYONE goes through their own struggle. I feel like it's unfair for there to be a who's suffered more than who contest because all of us go through something. If anything we should be uniting together and not comparing.
@@reannak4886 it’s not easier for lighter skin people. Have you had someone cut your hair at school? You know that is some bold shit to do to someone. Because if that’s the case it’s verbal assaults that dark skin women get. Don’t discredit the others story especially when you never experienced it
GarageStudio the problem is BLACK PPL claim mixed ppl but get mad when mixed ppl don’t claim them this show is needed to show BLACK PPL that they are mixed not BLACK WHITE PPL UNDERSTAND THIS they don’t 1 drop rule mixed ppl they call them mixed BLACK PPL ACCEPT MIXED PPL AS BLACK EVEN WHEN MIXED PLL DNT CLAIM THEM but of course this is all rooted in slavery 🤷🏾♀️
Also, this takes place in the 80’s. You shouldn’t assume your experience today would be the same for someone mixed 30 years ago. I just discovered this show, and love it! For the first time, this story is giving a different perspective to the world. Unless you are mixed yourself, you can’t really say what it’s like to walk in those shoes. Respect other people’s journeys and struggles. The worse thing we can do is undermine it.
7:33 I find your points about how the black community are more welcoming to mixed people very interesting especially as you’ve never had the experience of being rejected from both sides. I’m mixed and have fairly dark skin, very kinky hair and broad nose and stereotypical African features. Even with me lookin like how I do, I still get the most hate and exclusion from black people than white people. I’ve heard oreo before, coconut etc etc. And I know that’s the same with many other mixed people out there as well. Us mixed people can be bullied just as much as non mixed black people and we’re also being bullied FROM fellow black people AND white people. Simply saying that, oh your not being bullied cause your mixed, u jus look bad, is disregarding our lived experience and I find to be pretty disrespectful. Instead of sweeping the bullying under the rug and trying to cover it up with, oh it’s not cause your mixed, is just enforcing the idea that it’s ok to be discriminatory to mixed people. I’m but saying we have it any better or worse than non mixed black people, but I am saying we both face our equal struggles and it’s unfair to completely disregard our struggles but saying that we have ‘light skin privileges’
If you look up statistics on this topic, Most biracial (black/white) people identify with, spend more time with, and feel more accepted by their black family members. (69%) I am definitely closer to the black side of my family even though they live farther away from me. Mixed people are like 3 times more likely to report that they feel more accepted by their black family than their white family. www.pewsocialtrends.org/2015/06/11/multiracial-in-america/ And discussing privilege is not disregarding someone's struggle tho. Mixed/lightskinned black people on average make more money, face less severe jail sentences, and report having better relationships within our immediate families than darker black people. Ignoring the systematic effects of colorism is just as bad as ignoring the systematic effects of racism. I think that being closer to the black side of my family had a significant impact on how I percieve myself and my experiences as a mixed woman. I grew up in a large city, I have more white phenotypes, and I don't have kinky hair. So my experiences of being a mixed woman are probably quite different from yours because there are so many factors that impact mixed people's experiences. I definitely agree that our negative experiences are heavily downplayed by non-mixed black people all day long. But I'm not going to allow that to blind me from the fact that living in a white supremacist society I have some privileges compared to my mom who is a very very, dark Jamaican black women.
@@shekn0ws007 agreed. All the nuance she had is just ❤️ the unique struggles of mixed people are valid but their privileges are very real too. This is a balance I’m trying to strike as an ambiguous looking Thai Mexican. Not to let people downplay my issues but at the same time acknowledging that my privileges have protected me from more overt forms of racism
I have no problem with mixed people having their own show sis..but i hope they dont stereotype only darkskin girls picking on her and giving us a bad rep..IM HERE FOR IT but i just hope they dont start sum😬also darkskin girls go throught soo much..why can we have a show presenting our lives and growing up...then being successful..or sum with comedy or sum?
@@coquiangel Also, not a diss or shade. I could write it, but who would watch it since water rises to its own level? There's a reason it's still being renewed, and why Madea movies are still popping up annually🤷♀️
Continue saying “Girl”. My masculinity isn’t fragile. Who cares! Lol. It’s like the word “Bruh”. They’re synonymous to me. No biggie here. Great commentary as always! 🤗
You actually have a really good point about the bi-racial narrative....Melissa Ford is mixed and she looks like a brown skinned black woman...but you never see people of her shade potrayed when there is a narrative about being mixed
My girl said maybe you wasn’t a cute biracial🤣. But truth be told there are some mixed or light skin people who think their cute even when they’re actually not☕️
This is so weird, because I'm always seeing black people cast as biracial roles. In the Rosanne reboot, wasn't that little girl supposed to be a mixed race girl, but they cast a dark skin black girl? And also that Netflix show, The Umbrella Academy. The daughter of the light skin character is a dark skin black girl, despite the fact that her mother is light skin (biracial?) And her father was white. There was an HBO crime drama ( I think it was called The Night Before??) that did the same. Father was white, mother was black, the son was cast as a dark skin black boy. Don't act like this doesn't happen.
I am in my 40's and from what i remember mixed kids DID get picked on RIGHT UP UNTIL PUBERTY!!!!!! Then after puberty the mixed kids would usually become the most popular, the mixed girls were who most of the brothaz and about 15% of the white guys wanted to date(for them they were the black girls you could bring home to mom). And the mixed dudes were usually the starter brothaz for the white girls(the brothaz they would bring home to get their family used to the idea that they are gonna date black men cause she can't spring pooky and rayray on an unsuspecting white family), and about 90% of the black women cause in the 80's sistaz were into the lightskinned dudes with Scurls.
I usually like your videos, but I think it’s important that we take a moment to actually consider different perspectives and not automatically discredit them. White ppl have been doing this to us forever, and for us to do that to other people of color isn’t really productive. They may have been picked on because of their skin, we may never know. But we don’t really have to know to be empathetic.
How can you say you don't know with all the comments from mixed kids here saying it's a reality? It's like you're trying to be understanding but even you don't really believe us. When my dark skinned friends tell me about their struggles I don't question them because I have no doubt in my mind that they are capable of accurately describing their own experiences.
No we only have representation of light skin mix people. There is never a representation for brown or darker skin mix people. Media acts like the only way to be mix is to be lightskin 🙄 and that the only mixture in the world is black and white too. If they want to represent “mix people” they should stop only showing black and white mixes ONLY
Darkskins are so bitter sometimes, if there’s not even darkskin representation why don’t YOU get your darkskin producers and make your own shows? Like tf.
I see where y'all are coming from but this is just jealousy at this point🤷🏽♀️ just because they made a tv show called mix-ish doesn't mean that their trying to victimize the whole experience . Let's be mindful and open to other opinions and people's experiences
I feel like people aren’t giving this show a chance 😫 like you won’t get the show and understand the messages being sent in a 3 minute clip 😬 Im looking forward to it honestly
I just came from watching Paris Milan perspective but I don’t really have a problem with it. And mixed people are so excited that they are making a series about them. Cause mixed people and black people have different experiences.
The problem isn't then making a show about mixed people. The problem is of the constant erasure of the Black phenotype. If they know what actors need to be cast as mixed people, why do they keep casting mixed people as Black people?
Justice Name one Black person playing a Biracial???? Newsflash mixed people look non Black. The Black phenotype matters. While you're at it name the Black people playing white people also. #Gaslighters
Justice Replaced with Black people playing Black people. That's not what we are talking about. We are talking about having a non-race cast as that race. #BlackPhenotypeMatters
They show gave him the Black treatment!! White folks didn't care that he was raised by a white mom, the only time they used his biracial card was when Black folks were claiming him too hard, and they just wanted to get under our skin.
@@mariahsneed5285 That is so stupid. Claiming somebody is mixed doesn't support white or black people but the fact that that person is of more than one race. Being mixed sucks because every race hates on you
@Jiorgianna McMurtry Yeah I look more like the stereotypical mixed girl except more native American features and i agree that there are a lot of black people that accept and support mixed people, they just aren't as loud as those that hate on people for being mixed
Mixed people did face alot of problems by being shunned by both sides. Not saying it was better or worse than what darker skinned people went through (and still go through)but it happened and still does sometimes.
The main issue with this series is that they're giving the conception that mixed people can be considered Black (as seen in the casting of blackish) and when convenient they can also shrink in to their own spaces and be considered Mixed. Fully Black people can't do this. We're Black and nothing else. The day a Fully Black person decides to go into a "Mixed" space for any reason, all hell will break loose because they're simply going to say "You're not one of us." It's unfair. Mixed people basically have two identities. They dominate and gather praises in the black community and can still be a part of their own exclusive community when needed. 🤷🏿♀️
Atinuke Oyinbo Since people like saying we all mixed anyway then I’m finna say I’m mixed too; with my dark skin and kinky hair and all. I don’t want no mixed person telling me shit I’m coming for their spaces too since they like to say “we all black”
Atinuke Oyinbo exactly and what I’m hoping for is that this show will finally show Black ppl that mixed ppl need their own lane or at least let’s stop identifying them as FULLY BLACK
This is a repost. That I wrote. WARNING! It's long. It's not a matter of convenience to call yourself black or biracial. Context is important here. Kenya was born in 1974. He met Rainbow in school. So I`d guess that they are of similar age. Rainbow would've been taught by the people around her.. parents, black people, white people and society at large, she must identify as black. Although she's biracial. The application of the 1 drop rule applies here. So indeed she was both biracial genetically but societally she was black. Black-ish means that you're kind of black (biracial interpretation). Because you're part black. Also you're seen as black, colour of skin is not white. Being told that you're black so trying to fit in with full black people. That's where going over the top to prove you're black. Because you have some black people tell you, you're not black. BUT! Society TOLD you, you were! Mixed-ish is more or less the same thing. You're mixed but told you're black. But when you go into the wider society, as attending school.. You learn that there is a difference.Some people point out that indeed you're not black. It's that confusion and trying to navigate race, self and where you fit in. You can't concretely say you're mixed, although you are, because society stamps you black. Like saying... I'm mixed-ish, but BLACK. Or BLACK, but mixed. You've learn to down play or completely ignore that you're biracial. You're taught you're both black/biracial. That's not convenience. It's convenient for OTHERS. They were the ones who decided to accept you depending if THEY saw you as black or not. It still goes on today. Biracials have/are being told that they are black. Others are saying they're not. I'm in the UK and I was flabbergasted to learn, that there in the US, some people have THEIR RACE on their birth certificates! WTH! Because that doesn't / hasn't happened here. Rainbow therefore could've had black on her certificate. In that sense, she`d have every right to call herself black. Government would've classed her as so. Yes I know that people self identify. That biracials (some) will still identify as black for the reasons I`ve explained. But I won't and don't. It's not being disrespectful to black people that I identify as biracial. I'm not ignoring my "blackness." The mere fact that I identify as I do, says I'm choosing to honor and respect ME, my mother and my father. That I'm not only proud and love my black father, but I am also proud and love my white mother. Their union brought me about and I'm not going to erase my white parent and therefore erase myself as though they didn't get together to please others by soley identifying as black. As a biracial person, I count! Lastly.. Why should white people accept me as white? I`M NOT WHITE! I, My friends/ family/society and Government accept that I'm biracial Apologies for the lengthy comment.
sambucca18 ok socially you are right the world will see you as “black” because of white supremacy meaning if you aren’t of full Caucasian decent then you’re not white while black people do the opposite where as if you have a drop of black in you then you’re black this is why I think mixed people either deserve their own lane or WHITE people need to be just as accepting to their mixed offspring as black people the reason white people are not as accepting is because history at least in America tells us mixed people cams from the raping of black women and those children led the lives of their enslaved parents spoken from me a black woman who’s great grandmother was a product of a slave raping and fun fact she was a colorist and felt superior to darker people so no it’s not disrespectful to black people to identify as biracial it’s actually more respectful to us based off of you societal experiences and phenotype... geneotype is irrelevant being that most black Americans are mixed
Prxesss Love it depends on your phenotype and social experiences example both Megan markle and Tia or Tamera mowry are both biracial but Megan is white passing and their lives are reflective of it Tam is on the real relating to black women n well Megan married prince harry so....again white supremacy at work if you’re white passing and don’t experience hardship from your black ancestry then you should identify as biracial but if you socially identify as black and don’t receive white privilege then you can realistically identify as black
I was teased for being mixed in a majority african American school. No adult made me feel like i was the best thing since sliced bread. No one ever told me they were jealous of my “good hair” i never thought that.
It is better. I'm mixed and I've been in a majority white school and in a majority black school. It was basically only at the black school that I was bullied. And it wasn't about the way I looked or dressed.
I feel as though we don’t have the right to tell someone their struggle isn’t validated. Mixed people and all people have at least been teased or bullied once in their life. Eloho you’re making darkskin women look like the aggressor by telling those who are mixed race who could relate to this show that their “bullying or teasing” was simply due to the fact that they weren’t “fly”.
I’m really excited for this show, because this is the first time we’re going to be able to see on screen what life is like growing up as a mixed person. What I like about the show is that it is providing chances for open dialogue between black people and mixed race people. Sometimes people get so caught up in their own experiences they are not educated enough on other experiences. I think the is a major step for diverse television. I hope this inspires other channels to create more diverse content.
This video is pretty much a non mixed black person telling us mixed people how to feel. You sound just like white Conservatives saying "it's not because your black its because of this...."
Queen Eloho I have to disagree. While we usually talk about dark skin struggles in your channel alot we cannot ignore the fact that biracial/ mixed people go through this type of discrimination as well. Not like they used to back in the day like in this TV series (Mixed-ish) but they still do. As a black girl I hate when people overlook dark skin struggles so I wouldnt do the same for biracial people. As always thanks for your input, guidance, and safe space for opinions on topics like these. ❤👸🏾🦄 P.S. I recommend watching the show because it gives a deeper meaning to what it means to be mixed and it teaches many lessons about identity. 😊🌸
@Ivy Primrose Calm down geez. Black people do have a lot more representation compared to mixed people and every other minority. Even if somebody isn't 100% black in your eyes, they're still representing black issues
Ppl are not realising that this is not based in our time period where lightskinned mixed ppl are fawned over. This was based in a time where they were not wanted like the rest of blk ppl. Blacks didnt really want them, and whites didnt either.
CAT.IN.THE. HAT. Hmmm, there might have been a time when light skin and dark skin people were regarded as equally desirable and attractive but there’s no way light skin/biracial people were ever looked down on. Look at School Daze. 80s black movie. Tisha Campbell is the light skin beauty queen dating the popular frat leader. Hollywood Shuffle and Soul Man both had light skin love interests.
@@starr7093 lmfao a majority of mixed people have always been fawned over. why do you think colorism and self hatred is as rampant as it is today? it didn't just start last week...
there used to be laws against interracial marriage. And the same laws didnt encourage or allow ppl to have mixed kids. There was a time that they were not fawned over or were a standard of beauty. And those same thoughts were in ppl minds during the time period the show is taking place. So it makes sense why they were looked downnupon because of being mixed. I think the shows depiction of ppl's opinion on them are fair and accurate.
It's not because they don't address the fact that they're mixed. The show directs the storyline towards their black struggles and chose people who didn't look like the mixed stereotype
I’m mixed and I was never bullied by dark skin girls, they were actually always the nicest to me, it was actually other mixed/light skin girls who would mess with me
Elisabeth Waldron And this is the fallout of slavery that still infects America like the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima over fifty years ago but the citizens of Japan are still suffering from the ill-affects of nuclear radiation. Blacks are still traumatized by the mental radiation of slavery that has formed scar tissue on our psyche. The divide and conquer irrationality of colorization by Willie Lynch the vicious slave owner still rages on globally where African slaves were carried into various parts of the world and stripped of their cultural identity. My daughters are fair with curly hair and often asked were they mixed. When my youngest daughter at three was asked this foolish question she smiled and replied,"yes, with ketchup and mustard!"😘 I taught them early on when they were old enough for the conversation,"Don't ever think because of your skin tone and hair texture you are superior to anyone with ebony skin because Blackness has many shades. We have to give our children a healthy self esteem and let them know they are wonderfully made in the image of God. No need to bow your head because of your lighter or darker complexion because God don't make junk!
I don’t know why it’s getting criticized. As I was reading the comments I saw one saying “mixed people think they’re pretty” if MIXED people think their pretty let them think that. It’s like saying “ black or white people think their pretty”. Everyone is pretty PERIOD
Nae West I totally respect you for doing this. If it was a show called called whiteish no one would have a problem. But mixish it’s a whole problem. Even though mixed people are all over social media. They still have no representation on films. They end up having to play as black characters because their are no mixed characters. It’s like a domino effect. People complain about mixed people taking roles but it’s no mixed roles for mixed people.
@@alf3488 I feel like everybody needs their own space but there are facts that some people are getting more space than others I thoroughly enjoy Tracee Ellis Ross and I'm hoping that the show is not something that will be on some bullshit but I honestly doubt that it is I could be wrong🤷🏾♀️ we will see
@@alf3488 What the fuck are you talking about mixed people especially mixed women are always placed in roles that are meant for full BLACK women, biracial women are widely and positively represented more better than dark skinned black women
I love you sis, but it is a thing. I'm brown skinned and I was teased for having curly hair. Was jumped because girls thought my hair was a weave. You should at least watch a few episodes from all three shows before judgement. I believe their giving a pretty even perspective from all three. Unfortunately, jealousy is a vicious thing in our communities and I was a product of it. I can't even go into the evil things that were said and done to me while minded my own damn business.
Thank you for the insightful response. When I say curly hair, I meant natural hair because my hair was never chemically treated. It wasn't allowed in my household as a child. And because of that I was teased! Most of my peers had curls or perms during the 80's in California. My hair was also long, but this wasn't intended to be a competition love. The reason I pointed out my journey many moons ago, is because it doesn't matter how we look we're still taught to hate one another. I'm well aware that all black hair is curly, just different types and it depends on the care. Now, to address the triggered complexion comment . . .If there was a lighter Jamila in my class I was the dark Jamila! It never bothered me because I was aware of my melanin since I was 4 years old because I was taught to adore my skin. But that's my point as well! Why was that offensive? My chocolate sister hair is longer than mine, and we have a lighter cousin that always had a hard time growing her hair. My father is chocolate, and so was my son's father but my son is fair! It saddens me that we are triggered by this Willy Lynch mentality. We all come in beautiful shades, different undertones and hair types from all over the world. The divide between us has to stop! We can type and talk about this for weeks . . . What's the SOLUTION! I hope the clarifies my intentions.Thanks for the healthy debt. Stay up . . . Peace!
@@kayla.kenndy6502 Yet she clearly has bias against light skinned women. Colorism is a huge issue in the black community. Not just with dark skin women, but light skin women too. So the fact she brushes off any colorist issues with light skin girls, is a problem.
Sis You’re wrong, I was never told by a parent that the darker skin kids were jealous of me because of my hair, I was never even told that I had good hair, I was never even told that I was handsome. Fast forward 26 years I’m a model, and actor with a college education, I’m gorgeous, and praised. It was something I had to find for myself as well as my beautiful sisters, we were outcasts, we were also exJehovah witnesses, so much like this TV show we came from an upbringing regardless of race that was different. It’s actually quite common in the mixed experience to come from those strange countercultures, because back then even in the 90s when I was conceived, your parents had to have been living a very counterculture lifestyle to even have children together.
But you don’t think your features and overall look had ANYTHING to do with your success as a MODEL 👀🤦🏾♀️ Just because it wasn’t your experience doesn’t mean it isn’t experienced 😒 Ignorance is bliss 💅🏾💆🏾♀️
Topaz Potato I’m sure they did, my point is that those “privileges “we’re not apparent when I was a child and teenager. I mentioned those years because they are formative. My siblings are now reaping benefits, but we did not receive those benefits when we were young. My parents divorced, I’m not angry or bitter about it, it’s been 20 years, but I lived in a small town house in Michigan, and my mother was friends with four other single mothers to mixed children, every single one of those women with the exception of my mother, have passed away. Those kids did not get introduced to the world as special because they were mixed, they were low income families, And were kind.
hallowunicorns community Yeah but Eloho making it sound like it is a fact that mixed people don’t struggle, don’t get bullied for being mixed and that they all have looser curls, light skin, pretty and have light eyes. Which isn’t true.
I don’t think this needed a spin-off. Black-ish is already mixed-ish. They could’ve just done a special to show how bow was in a cult and how she grew up.
Seriously, I love Eloho. If I was Nigerian, I would just start telling everyone she is my sister🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ girl u inspire me to live my truth and for that, I thank u!!!
Also, they're trying to shift the victimization from dark skin black women to mixed women. So the DSBW are the bullies (peep the girls laughing in the cafeteria table.. not a brown or light skin black girl in sight). Of course I know this DEFINITELY happens. But it's unfair that an entire SHOW is dedicated to this, when DSBW can't utter a single word about colourism without getting a hella backlash. They know what they're doing. Not gonna work on me though because I know colourism on DSBW is more PREDOMINANT and TOXIC and it is going nowhere, not for a long time at least. This show is just a way to shift the focus to Mixed people....like the usual happening in the society.
Atinuke Oyinbo mixed people go through things too. I don’t believe there’s been a show in recent years to portray mixed people. This is something great for them to be included too. It’s not a shift of dark skin it’s about representation
I don’t see how being picked on cause you’re biracial is impossible? I love your videos but come on now, I don’t think dark skin, brown skin, and even light skin black people should tell mixed people how to feel...
Ironically I really wasnt bullied for being dark skinned. With that being said I think mixedish is overkill because the wife's mixed heritage and upbringing has already been brought up. If half the cast of blackish wasnt already mixed I wouldnt see an issue with this show
Just because you are teased, doesn't necessarily mean that people are jealous. they are confused some times. And you are right, black people tend to accept mixed children and people as their own but currently I've been seeing this trend of lightskin and or mixed race = not black. Or in my experience, not black enough. I would love to see your reaction to the blackish episode called black like us
Race was a big deal back in the day so of course having two different race parents was a reason to be bullied. Being mixed then different than being mixed now.
I agree, I feel like the time period could be the saving grace of the show. I feel like it was still a really taboo thing back then and if they stay in that lane, then I think the show could be ok
Shouldn't it be called biracialish because blackish was already mixed ish kind of idk I just know the written is getting his coin but I wish he would make it real cuz mixed or light skin in the 80s you was not teased like that
I grew up in the 80s and was teased for being biracial..my brother got it much worse..he is darker than me but still light enough to show hes mixed ,like Prince.I suppose where you live matters alot, but still that was my life, cant say it didnt happen cause I lived it..my brother was fly af too so when he moved to a bigger city it was better but times was changin as well..90s was a better decade ..I moved to a small town and married a white guy..half of my kids came out darker than me, especially my 2nd son..he got shit for being mixed his whole school life..
You never know. I’m 18, and I was teased when I was younger for being biracial. But this happened in Spain, so I guess it depends on the country aswell. When I was amongst black people they would say I’m white or that I bleach. When I was amongst white people they would say that I’m black and that my white side doesn’t count. I would say till this day Spain is still quite racist. My white even teases me for having Afro curly hair and always encourage me to cut it off. I don’t know what it’s like in the US but you can’t judge others experiences

I’m sorry Eloho I’m going to have to disagree with what you said at around 6:55. Biracial people (specifically black/white) do get rejected and made out to be outcasts. The fact that you’re trying to gaslight and basically brush that under the rug is disappointing. I love you but it’s not fair to brush real issues that biracial people go through under the rug. We don’t like that for ourselves we can’t do that to others.

Im mixed and people can't tell so when I tell em they be a bit surprised. Sometimes people won't believe that I am and that Im adopted😑 Others will think that they can shame black people just because I'm only half. Not all act like this but this but this is from experience.

Yep! This is complicated, because there are a lot of mixed kids whose phenotype is also expressing the Black phenotype and they only look Black.
They really act like brown or dark skin mix people aren’t a thing and won’t acknowledge them. It’s already bad enough they think the only mixture is to be black and white. They don’t seem to realize in media people can be half black and another race as well. Only black and white and lightskin.

Y’all have to realize that black American families vary in shades. So therefore I don’t see an issue with a lot of the cast looking different. My brother is very dark, I’m brown, and my eldest brother is a lot lighter; while both of our parents are black.
Being a mixed person I can tell you for a fact that people do make fun of us just for being mixed. Back in the 40s-80s and even today if you were mixed with black you are considered black. Mixed people are told that our opinions on racial issues don’t matter because then we’re picking a side. And tbh I love being half black it’s something I’m very proud of but most of the hate I get is from my black (they’re Jamaican)family because they don’t like that I’m half white and from older white folks. For the longest time I hated the skin I was in because it did get me made fun of and not because of my hair or my clothes. I was called a mutt a half breed and everything under the sun.
Love your channel but there’s just some things that need to be discussed in a different manner.
This girl got so much hate for mixed kids I don't see how you can love her channel. She didn't reply to a single comment by anyone mixed or show one hint of remorse for what she said. She doesn't like you even a little bit Sis.
Joanna MoniqueTM* nah i’m mixed she has a lot of respect for us just watch her other videos
Right, don't matter bout the clothes, I was fairly popular back in school but was still picked on for not being black enough, going as far as to be disowned by the black side of my family when I was younger for being too white
I agree with you. Mixed people do get shitted on especially when they can't fully say they're apart of a certain ethnicity cause it's always a Black vs White. With other mixes of race comes with the fact that the don't have an identity unless you look more dark skinned black or light skinned white. I get what you're saying, although I'm sparsely mixed I was born in America and grew up in Jamaica cause that's where my parents are from. It's hard being in the middle because you're forced to pick a side but when you do you still get shitted on and hated. It will never change unless the stigma lessens and people realize that every person can relate even if they don't look the same. Sorry for the hate you received but appreciate the fact that you're a beautiful person and that you're still loved by many and that's what matters.

Also, this takes place in the 80’s. You shouldn’t assume your experience today would be the same for someone mixed 30 years ago. I just discovered this show, and love it! For the first time, this story is giving a different perspective to the world. Unless you are mixed yourself, you can’t really say what it’s like to walk in those shoes. Respect other people’s journeys and struggles. The worse thing we can do is undermine it.
7:33 I find your points about how the black community are more welcoming to mixed people very interesting especially as you’ve never had the experience of being rejected from both sides. I’m mixed and have fairly dark skin, very kinky hair and broad nose and stereotypical African features. Even with me lookin like how I do, I still get the most hate and exclusion from black people than white people. I’ve heard oreo before, coconut etc etc. And I know that’s the same with many other mixed people out there as well. Us mixed people can be bullied just as much as non mixed black people and we’re also being bullied FROM fellow black people AND white people. Simply saying that, oh your not being bullied cause your mixed, u jus look bad, is disregarding our lived experience and I find to be pretty disrespectful. Instead of sweeping the bullying under the rug and trying to cover it up with, oh it’s not cause your mixed, is just enforcing the idea that it’s ok to be discriminatory to mixed people. I’m but saying we have it any better or worse than non mixed black people, but I am saying we both face our equal struggles and it’s unfair to completely disregard our struggles but saying that we have ‘light skin privileges’
If you look up statistics on this topic, Most biracial (black/white) people identify with, spend more time with, and feel more accepted by their black family members. (69%) I am definitely closer to the black side of my family even though they live farther away from me. Mixed people are like 3 times more likely to report that they feel more accepted by their black family than their white family.
www.pewsocialtrends.org/2015/06/11/multiracial-in-america/
And discussing privilege is not disregarding someone's struggle tho. Mixed/lightskinned black people on average make more money, face less severe jail sentences, and report having better relationships within our immediate families than darker black people. Ignoring the systematic effects of colorism is just as bad as ignoring the systematic effects of racism. I think that being closer to the black side of my family had a significant impact on how I percieve myself and my experiences as a mixed woman. I grew up in a large city, I have more white phenotypes, and I don't have kinky hair. So my experiences of being a mixed woman are probably quite different from yours because there are so many factors that impact mixed people's experiences. I definitely agree that our negative experiences are heavily downplayed by non-mixed black people all day long. But I'm not going to allow that to blind me from the fact that living in a white supremacist society I have some privileges compared to my mom who is a very very, dark Jamaican black women.

This is so weird, because I'm always seeing black people cast as biracial roles. In the Rosanne reboot, wasn't that little girl supposed to be a mixed race girl, but they cast a dark skin black girl? And also that Netflix show, The Umbrella Academy. The daughter of the light skin character is a dark skin black girl, despite the fact that her mother is light skin (biracial?) And her father was white. There was an HBO crime drama ( I think it was called The Night Before??) that did the same. Father was white, mother was black, the son was cast as a dark skin black boy. Don't act like this doesn't happen.
I am in my 40's and from what i remember mixed kids DID get picked on RIGHT UP UNTIL PUBERTY!!!!!! Then after puberty the mixed kids would usually become the most popular, the mixed girls were who most of the brothaz and about 15% of the white guys wanted to date(for them they were the black girls you could bring home to mom). And the mixed dudes were usually the starter brothaz for the white girls(the brothaz they would bring home to get their family used to the idea that they are gonna date black men cause she can't spring pooky and rayray on an unsuspecting white family), and about 90% of the black women cause in the 80's sistaz were into the lightskinned dudes with Scurls.
when they were called freaks, I thought it was referring to them living in a cult

Um no I'm PR Black and Native EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE RACES OSTRACIZED ME EVERYONE. You have to live it to know it...

I usually like your videos, but I think it’s important that we take a moment to actually consider different perspectives and not automatically discredit them. White ppl have been doing this to us forever, and for us to do that to other people of color isn’t really productive. They may have been picked on because of their skin, we may never know. But we don’t really have to know to be empathetic.
How can you say you don't know with all the comments from mixed kids here saying it's a reality? It's like you're trying to be understanding but even you don't really believe us. When my dark skinned friends tell me about their struggles I don't question them because I have no doubt in my mind that they are capable of accurately describing their own experiences.
Why does pigacorn horn look like that. You beating on him? Lol
HA!!! He look so adodable.

We hav enough "mixed" representation next💤💤🙌👉
not the experience of growing up this way
No we only have representation of light skin mix people. There is never a representation for brown or darker skin mix people. Media acts like the only way to be mix is to be lightskin 🙄 and that the only mixture in the world is black and white too. If they want to represent “mix people” they should stop only showing black and white mixes ONLY
Right
chill it’s just their story
Darkskins are so bitter sometimes, if there’s not even darkskin representation why don’t YOU get your darkskin producers and make your own shows? Like tf.
Next they’ll have “nerd-ish” for Junior, and “twins-ish” for Jack and Diane. “You get a show, you get a show, you get a shooooww!!!”
I see where y'all are coming from but this is just jealousy at this point🤷🏽♀️ just because they made a tv show called mix-ish doesn't mean that their trying to victimize the whole experience . Let's be mindful and open to other opinions and people's experiences
I agree even though I dont like certain things I'm still open to trying to see where other people are coming from.
pink1237480 exactly
Keep that same energy with y'all non-black side
@@frogsmith9578 most definitely do.
How is it jealousy? Why does it always come to jealous? It could be angry about how the world is? Not jealousy tf
I feel like people aren’t giving this show a chance 😫 like you won’t get the show and understand the messages being sent in a 3 minute clip 😬 Im looking forward to it honestly
I just came from watching Paris Milan perspective but I don’t really have a problem with it. And mixed people are so excited that they are making a series about them. Cause mixed people and black people have different experiences.
The problem isn't then making a show about mixed people. The problem is of the constant erasure of the Black phenotype. If they know what actors need to be cast as mixed people, why do they keep casting mixed people as Black people?
@@justice7550 then can you give us examples?! Im doubting 🙄🙄
Justice Name one Black person playing a Biracial???? Newsflash mixed people look non Black. The Black phenotype matters. While you're at it name the Black people playing white people also. #Gaslighters
What about Storm Reid in A Wrinkle In Time? She’s fully black (two black parents) and played a biracial girl.
Justice Replaced with Black people playing Black people. That's not what we are talking about. We are talking about having a non-race cast as that race. #BlackPhenotypeMatters
This hair style is undeniably adorable.
People over here over analyzing. Mixed-ish is about BOW!! Simple
More like bull-ish 🤦🏾♀️
Smh
🤣🤣😫
The trailer shows how mixed people were bullied by dark skins(not saying it wasn't possible), it was definitely made by a white person.
@@galaxygrl4466 it was written by a black man...
@@amak7663 Not surprised at this point.
Lol It's true I do guess Obama was the first mixed president and not the first black president 😂
Jhonelle B Correct 👏🏾 there has not been a black American president yet
They show gave him the Black treatment!! White folks didn't care that he was raised by a white mom, the only time they used his biracial card was when Black folks were claiming him too hard, and they just wanted to get under our skin.
@@mariahsneed5285 That is so stupid. Claiming somebody is mixed doesn't support white or black people but the fact that that person is of more than one race. Being mixed sucks because every race hates on you
@Jiorgianna McMurtry Yeah I look more like the stereotypical mixed girl except more native American features and i agree that there are a lot of black people that accept and support mixed people, they just aren't as loud as those that hate on people for being mixed
@Jiorgianna McMurtry Lol, don't worry you didn't. In fact you're one of the few people that acknowledged both groups.
I'm mixed and proud!!😆😁💙
ALBANIAN HEAT 187 what black women are bringing mixed women down🤔
lucky
Mixed people did face alot of problems by being shunned by both sides. Not saying it was better or worse than what darker skinned people went through (and still go through)but it happened and still does sometimes.
The main issue with this series is that they're giving the conception that mixed people can be considered Black (as seen in the casting of blackish) and when convenient they can also shrink in to their own spaces and be considered Mixed. Fully Black people can't do this. We're Black and nothing else. The day a Fully Black person decides to go into a "Mixed" space for any reason, all hell will break loose because they're simply going to say "You're not one of us." It's unfair. Mixed people basically have two identities. They dominate and gather praises in the black community and can still be a part of their own exclusive community when needed. 🤷🏿♀️
Atinuke Oyinbo Since people like saying we all mixed anyway then I’m finna say I’m mixed too; with my dark skin and kinky hair and all. I don’t want no mixed person telling me shit I’m coming for their spaces too since they like to say “we all black”
Atinuke Oyinbo exactly and what I’m hoping for is that this show will finally show Black ppl that mixed ppl need their own lane or at least let’s stop identifying them as FULLY BLACK
This is a repost. That I wrote. WARNING! It's long. It's not a matter of convenience to call yourself black or biracial. Context is important here. Kenya was born in 1974. He met Rainbow in school. So I`d guess that they are of similar age. Rainbow would've been taught by the people around her.. parents, black people, white people and society at large, she must identify as black. Although she's biracial. The application of the 1 drop rule applies here. So indeed she was both biracial genetically but societally she was black. Black-ish means that you're kind of black (biracial interpretation). Because you're part black. Also you're seen as black, colour of skin is not white. Being told that you're black so trying to fit in with full black people. That's where going over the top to prove you're black. Because you have some black people tell you, you're not black. BUT! Society TOLD you, you were!
Mixed-ish is more or less the same thing. You're mixed but told you're black. But when you go into the wider society, as attending school.. You learn that there is a difference.Some people point out that indeed you're not black. It's that confusion and trying to navigate race, self and where you fit in. You can't concretely say you're mixed, although you are, because society stamps you black. Like saying... I'm mixed-ish, but BLACK. Or BLACK, but mixed. You've learn to down play or completely ignore that you're biracial.
You're taught you're both black/biracial. That's not convenience. It's convenient for OTHERS. They were the ones who decided to accept you depending if THEY saw you as black or not. It still goes on today. Biracials have/are being told that they are black. Others are saying they're not. I'm in the UK and I was flabbergasted to learn, that there in the US, some people have THEIR RACE on their birth certificates! WTH! Because that doesn't / hasn't happened here. Rainbow therefore could've had black on her certificate. In that sense, she`d have every right to call herself black. Government would've classed her as so. Yes I know that people self identify. That biracials (some) will still identify as black for the reasons I`ve explained. But I won't and don't. It's not being disrespectful to black people that I identify as biracial. I'm not ignoring my "blackness." The mere fact that I identify as I do, says I'm choosing to honor and respect ME, my mother and my father. That I'm not only proud and love my black father, but I am also proud and love my white mother. Their union brought me about and I'm not going to erase my white parent and therefore erase myself as though they didn't get together to please others by soley identifying as black. As a biracial person, I count! Lastly.. Why should white people accept me as white? I`M NOT WHITE! I, My friends/ family/society and Government accept that I'm biracial Apologies for the lengthy comment.
sambucca18 ok socially you are right the world will see you as “black” because of white supremacy meaning if you aren’t of full Caucasian decent then you’re not white while black people do the opposite where as if you have a drop of black in you then you’re black this is why I think mixed people either deserve their own lane or WHITE people need to be just as accepting to their mixed offspring as black people the reason white people are not as accepting is because history at least in America tells us mixed people cams from the raping of black women and those children led the lives of their enslaved parents spoken from me a black woman who’s great grandmother was a product of a slave raping and fun fact she was a colorist and felt superior to darker people so no it’s not disrespectful to black people to identify as biracial it’s actually more respectful to us based off of you societal experiences and phenotype... geneotype is irrelevant being that most black Americans are mixed
Prxesss Love it depends on your phenotype and social experiences example both Megan markle and Tia or Tamera mowry are both biracial but Megan is white passing and their lives are reflective of it Tam is on the real relating to black women n well Megan married prince harry so....again white supremacy at work if you’re white passing and don’t experience hardship from your black ancestry then you should identify as biracial but if you socially identify as black and don’t receive white privilege then you can realistically identify as black
I was teased for being mixed in a majority african American school. No adult made me feel like i was the best thing since sliced bread. No one ever told me they were jealous of my “good hair” i never thought that.
It is better. I'm mixed and I've been in a majority white school and in a majority black school. It was basically only at the black school that I was bullied. And it wasn't about the way I looked or dressed.
d a My older sister was bullied relentlessly at her all white private school when she was a child to the point of crying everyday at home.
Mixed people get hate everywhere to be honest
Okay congrats lol
@@autumngreen9573 lol so truth iam mixed no one likes me cuz if i do something iam more white if i did that iam more black
I feel as though we don’t have the right to tell someone their struggle isn’t validated. Mixed people and all people have at least been teased or bullied once in their life. Eloho you’re making darkskin women look like the aggressor by telling those who are mixed race who could relate to this show that their “bullying or teasing” was simply due to the fact that they weren’t “fly”.
I’m really excited for this show, because this is the first time we’re going to be able to see on screen what life is like growing up as a mixed person. What I like about the show is that it is providing chances for open dialogue between black people and mixed race people. Sometimes people get so caught up in their own experiences they are not educated enough on other experiences. I think the is a major step for diverse television. I hope this inspires other channels to create more diverse content.
got this notification while I was watching Paris Milan’s trailer reaction ❤️😂
I really like where the mixed-ish is going though. Hopefully it can bring about a deeper discussion about what it's like growing up mixed.
This video is pretty much a non mixed black person telling us mixed people how to feel.
You sound just like white Conservatives saying "it's not because your black its because of this...."
When did she tell someone how to feel?
yuh you said it
Kayla .Kenndy in the video
Honestly kinda
Kayla .Kenndy same can be said for mixed people speaking for us when you aren’t black and shouldn’t. Don’t go it to ours too
Queen Eloho I have to disagree. While we usually talk about dark skin struggles in your channel alot we cannot ignore the fact that biracial/ mixed people go through this type of discrimination as well. Not like they used to back in the day like in this TV series (Mixed-ish) but they still do. As a black girl I hate when people overlook dark skin struggles so I wouldnt do the same for biracial people. As always thanks for your input, guidance, and safe space for opinions on topics like these. ❤👸🏾🦄
P.S. I recommend watching the show because it gives a deeper meaning to what it means to be mixed and it teaches many lessons about identity. 😊🌸
I thought" everyone was mixed to a certain degree", so why don't we have black people playing mixed characters, weren't we all mixed a few mins ago?
@Ivy Primrose Calm down geez. Black people do have a lot more representation compared to mixed people and every other minority. Even if somebody isn't 100% black in your eyes, they're still representing black issues
@Ivy Primrose sounds like jealousy you should reword what u say
Natalie Moeketsi that’s like a white person playing as a black person.
Stop being a freaken troll
@@bananaboat5031 she shouldn't have to reword anything. She has a valid point.
You know that dark skin boy would be fawning over young Rainbow, not insulting her
Zikomo7 Facts
Ppl are not realising that this is not based in our time period where lightskinned mixed ppl are fawned over. This was based in a time where they were not wanted like the rest of blk ppl. Blacks didnt really want them, and whites didnt either.
CAT.IN.THE. HAT. Hmmm, there might have been a time when light skin and dark skin people were regarded as equally desirable and attractive but there’s no way light skin/biracial people were ever looked down on.
Look at School Daze. 80s black movie. Tisha Campbell is the light skin beauty queen dating the popular frat leader.
Hollywood Shuffle and Soul Man both had light skin love interests.
@@starr7093 lmfao a majority of mixed people have always been fawned over. why do you think colorism and self hatred is as rampant as it is today? it didn't just start last week...
there used to be laws against interracial marriage. And the same laws didnt encourage or allow ppl to have mixed kids. There was a time that they were not fawned over or were a standard of beauty. And those same thoughts were in ppl minds during the time period the show is taking place. So it makes sense why they were looked downnupon because of being mixed. I think the shows depiction of ppl's opinion on them are fair and accurate.
Blackish is already about biracial people tho.
It's not though
@@sarahwilson27 how?
Exactly every person on there is mix but that just african americans in general
It’s not. But gooo offf.
It's not because they don't address the fact that they're mixed. The show directs the storyline towards their black struggles and chose people who didn't look like the mixed stereotype
You always pickin on bi racial in every video wtf 😂🤦🏽♀️and then try to cover it up with sweet talk but it’s whateva
Then stop watching her videos. Be gone!
@@thebougiewinechick1869 calling her out is the right thing to do dont bash a biracial who did nothing to yoi
I like the looks... Especially the hair be popping
Everybody wanna and gotta have their own spin off now huh?🤷🏾♀️🙄
I’m mixed and I was never bullied by dark skin girls, they were actually always the nicest to me, it was actually other mixed/light skin girls who would mess with me
Shittttttttttt. I went to a country school and the black girls hated me because of my hair and skin and white kids thought I was too ghetto...
Elisabeth Waldron And this is the fallout of slavery that still infects America like the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima over fifty years ago but the citizens of Japan are still suffering from the ill-affects of nuclear radiation. Blacks are still traumatized by the mental radiation of slavery that has formed scar tissue on our psyche. The divide and conquer irrationality of colorization by Willie Lynch the vicious slave owner still rages on globally where African slaves were carried into various parts of the world and stripped of their cultural identity. My daughters are fair with curly hair and often asked were they mixed. When my youngest daughter at three was asked this foolish question she smiled and replied,"yes, with ketchup and mustard!"😘 I taught them early on when they were old enough for the conversation,"Don't ever think because of your skin tone and hair texture you are superior to anyone with ebony skin because Blackness has many shades. We have to give our children a healthy self esteem and let them know they are wonderfully made in the image of God. No need to bow your head because of your lighter or darker complexion because God don't make junk!
Denise Dean great comment 👏👏
Denise Dean preach sister
Blackwolf MGTOW omg I just thought you meant you legit lived in the woods like alone idk why
I don’t know why it’s getting criticized. As I was reading the comments I saw one saying “mixed people think they’re pretty” if MIXED people think their pretty let them think that. It’s like saying “ black or white people think their pretty”. Everyone is pretty PERIOD
I'm fan of blackish and imma check out mixish as well I like to see if it is a whole and not just little clips of it so I can form my own opinion.
Nae West I totally respect you for doing this. If it was a show called called whiteish no one would have a problem. But mixish it’s a whole problem. Even though mixed people are all over social media. They still have no representation on films. They end up having to play as black characters because their are no mixed characters. It’s like a domino effect. People complain about mixed people taking roles but it’s no mixed roles for mixed people.
@@alf3488 I feel like everybody needs their own space but there are facts that some people are getting more space than others I thoroughly enjoy Tracee Ellis Ross and I'm hoping that the show is not something that will be on some bullshit but I honestly doubt that it is I could be wrong🤷🏾♀️ we will see
@Mike Ken yep
@@alf3488 LOL white-ish that just makes me think of Full House and Friends
@@alf3488 What the fuck are you talking about mixed people especially mixed women are always placed in roles that are meant for full BLACK women, biracial women are widely and positively represented more better than dark skinned black women
I love you sis, but it is a thing. I'm brown skinned and I was teased for having curly hair. Was jumped because girls thought my hair was a weave.
You should at least watch a few episodes from all three shows before judgement. I believe their giving a pretty even perspective from all three. Unfortunately, jealousy is a vicious thing in our communities and I was a product of it. I can't even go into the evil things that were said and done to me while minded my own damn business.
Thank you for the insightful response.
When I say curly hair, I meant natural hair because my hair was never chemically treated. It wasn't allowed in my household as a child. And because of that I was teased! Most of my peers had curls or perms during the 80's in California.
My hair was also long, but this wasn't intended to be a competition love. The reason I pointed out my journey many moons ago, is because it doesn't matter how we look we're still taught to hate one another. I'm well aware that all black hair is curly, just different types and it depends on the care.
Now, to address the triggered complexion comment . . .If there was a lighter Jamila in my class I was the dark Jamila! It never bothered me because I was aware of my melanin since I was 4 years old because I was taught to adore my skin. But that's my point as well! Why was that offensive? My chocolate sister hair is longer than mine, and we have a lighter cousin that always had a hard time growing her hair. My father is chocolate, and so was my son's father but my son is fair! It saddens me that we are triggered by this Willy Lynch mentality. We all come in beautiful shades, different undertones and hair types from all over the world. The divide between us has to stop! We can type and talk about this for weeks . . . What's the SOLUTION!
I hope the clarifies my intentions.Thanks for the healthy debt. Stay up . . . Peace!
So you believe that only Dark skinned people deal with colorism and not light skinned and biracial people?
yep
She didn’t say that...🤦🏾♀️
@@kayla.kenndy6502 Yet she clearly has bias against light skinned women. Colorism is a huge issue in the black community. Not just with dark skin women, but light skin women too. So the fact she brushes off any colorist issues with light skin girls, is a problem.
@@kayla.kenndy6502 thank you! i'm also lightskinned and i really undsrstood what the girl was saying. ❤
Celeste Jacquet i never said she wasn’t bias, I said that what you accused her of if false...
Sis You’re wrong, I was never told by a parent that the darker skin kids were jealous of me because of my hair, I was never even told that I had good hair, I was never even told that I was handsome. Fast forward 26 years I’m a model, and actor with a college education, I’m gorgeous, and praised. It was something I had to find for myself as well as my beautiful sisters, we were outcasts, we were also exJehovah witnesses, so much like this TV show we came from an upbringing regardless of race that was different. It’s actually quite common in the mixed experience to come from those strange countercultures, because back then even in the 90s when I was conceived, your parents had to have been living a very counterculture lifestyle to even have children together.
Are u here to brag
Lmao wait are you that obsessed with yourself?
But you don’t think your features and overall look had ANYTHING to do with your success as a MODEL 👀🤦🏾♀️
Just because it wasn’t your experience doesn’t mean it isn’t experienced 😒
Ignorance is bliss 💅🏾💆🏾♀️
Tone D yes:)
Topaz Potato I’m sure they did, my point is that those “privileges “we’re not apparent when I was a child and teenager. I mentioned those years because they are formative. My siblings are now reaping benefits, but we did not receive those benefits when we were young. My parents divorced, I’m not angry or bitter about it, it’s been 20 years, but I lived in a small town house in Michigan, and my mother was friends with four other single mothers to mixed children, every single one of those women with the exception of my mother, have passed away. Those kids did not get introduced to the world as special because they were mixed, they were low income families, And were kind.
I have not issue with being called girl or sis. 🤣
Everything you say is your opinion and that doesn’t make it fact
They asked her opinion on it
hallowunicorns community Yeah but Eloho making it sound like it is a fact that mixed people don’t struggle, don’t get bullied for being mixed and that they all have looser curls, light skin, pretty and have light eyes. Which isn’t true.
Honestly I can say you didn’t get it🤷🏻♀️
Ikr
Could you explain it please? Sorry I honestly don’t get it either but I want to know.
What is she missing?
I don’t think this needed a spin-off. Black-ish is already mixed-ish. They could’ve just done a special to show how bow was in a cult and how she grew up.
Seriously, I love Eloho. If I was Nigerian, I would just start telling everyone she is my sister🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ girl u inspire me to live my truth and for that, I thank u!!!
Also, they're trying to shift the victimization from dark skin black women to mixed women. So the DSBW are the bullies (peep the girls laughing in the cafeteria table.. not a brown or light skin black girl in sight). Of course I know this DEFINITELY happens. But it's unfair that an entire SHOW is dedicated to this, when DSBW can't utter a single word about colourism without getting a hella backlash. They know what they're doing. Not gonna work on me though because I know colourism on DSBW is more PREDOMINANT and TOXIC and it is going nowhere, not for a long time at least. This show is just a way to shift the focus to Mixed people....like the usual happening in the society.
Atinuke Oyinbo mixed people go through things too. I don’t believe there’s been a show in recent years to portray mixed people. This is something great for them to be included too. It’s not a shift of dark skin it’s about representation
my girl getting paid!! ive seen more adds on this 12 minute video than in a superbowl
sometimes i feel like i don’t fit in because i’m mixed.
I’m actually excited about mixed-ish 🤷🏾♀️
I love and watch faithfully both black-ish and Grownish so this is right up my alley
Me too
:)
It’s a good show! The writer can’t please everybody 🤷🏽♀️
Finney Virlaine same
Can you do a video how you do your puffs? And what you use in your hair to do it
I don’t see how being picked on cause you’re biracial is impossible? I love your videos but come on now, I don’t think dark skin, brown skin, and even light skin black people should tell mixed people how to feel...
The youngest daughter is so cute. Loved the Madonna outfit. She will make the show worth watching.
I mean I was actually bullied bc of being mixed but I wouldn’t say I have it worse than any dark skinned women has
People need to stop hating and being colorist we’re all black at the end of the day they can go somewhere
Ironically I really wasnt bullied for being dark skinned. With that being said I think mixedish is overkill because the wife's mixed heritage and upbringing has already been brought up. If half the cast of blackish wasnt already mixed I wouldnt see an issue with this show
Yaaaassss u got them puffs❤❤❤
Just because you are teased, doesn't necessarily mean that people are jealous. they are confused some times. And you are right, black people tend to accept mixed children and people as their own but currently I've been seeing this trend of lightskin and or mixed race = not black. Or in my experience, not black enough. I would love to see your reaction to the blackish episode called black like us
I like each ba nd every video of yours cause you unapologetically SPEAK YOUR TRUTH! And I'm all for it honey
Race was a big deal back in the day so of course having two different race parents was a reason to be bullied. Being mixed then different than being mixed now.
kemartini being biracials we’re oppressed but was seen as better than being black so once again black ppl took them in as the “better black”
I agree, I feel like the time period could be the saving grace of the show. I feel like it was still a really taboo thing back then and if they stay in that lane, then I think the show could be ok
kemartini ... Hummm...
Um prince, the jacksons, the debarge, Lisa Bonet and Sandra from the Cosby show I can go on
Right.
Shouldn't it be called biracialish because blackish was already mixed ish kind of idk I just know the written is getting his coin but I wish he would make it real cuz mixed or light skin in the 80s you was not teased like that
Randell Parham ok if being mixed was so bad in the 80’s then what the hell happened to the Jacksons
@@auntieruckus6444 they aren't mixed. TF?
I grew up in the 80s and was teased for being biracial..my brother got it much worse..he is darker than me but still light enough to show hes mixed ,like Prince.I suppose where you live matters alot, but still that was my life, cant say it didnt happen cause I lived it..my brother was fly af too so when he moved to a bigger city it was better but times was changin as well..90s was a better decade ..I moved to a small town and married a white guy..half of my kids came out darker than me, especially my 2nd son..he got shit for being mixed his whole school life..
You honestly don’t know how people were teased
You never know. I’m 18, and I was teased when I was younger for being biracial. But this happened in Spain, so I guess it depends on the country aswell. When I was amongst black people they would say I’m white or that I bleach. When I was amongst white people they would say that I’m black and that my white side doesn’t count. I would say till this day Spain is still quite racist. My white even teases me for having Afro curly hair and always encourage me to cut it off. I don’t know what it’s like in the US but you can’t judge others experiences
When I was younger and I wore my hair natural and down everybody use to tease me and say I looked like a lion 🙄😐😒
To be fair . the light skinned mixed kids look like their adult counterparts in blackish. Especially the little brother.
