There's no privilege from being any kind of skin color. It's just what victims use to make themselves feel better. You think a beautiful person isn't "privileged" by your definition or someone who has an inbuilt drive to succeed? You start talking like that and you will never stop finding excuses as to why you didn't succeed...in the least racist time in history.... There was a black president before there was a female one...
Privilege from being light skinned? There are millions of poor underprivileged white people and your light skin will not give you any privileges in any African or Asian country.
@@robertwilson3866 yes there is privelege because zendaya has no idea what black girls like viola davis are treated or they shit they go thru , her lightskin ass never will know that experience
She actually gets a lot of praise from black women. The things we complain about she also complains about. She isn’t black enough to represent me on most occasions. She knows that and that’s why she turns down some roles. I respect her for it. So it’s not hate for her… it’s hate for how the Hollywood system does things. She good because she gets it

@@Kevin-fj3ff if you’re not black then you have no right to tell a black person that their experience is wrong because you’ll never experience it. Just like i could never tell you as a white person how you’ve experienced life. PERIOD. Furthermore, it’s plain and simple that color still plays a small role in Hollywood casting among countless other areas. Zendaya speaks on it, here. So whether you like it or not, it’s still happening. Whether black people/ POC use this as a crutch is an entirely different manner. Don’t downplay history and facts.
This girl has worked to darn hard to be told it's because of her skin colour. Yes colourism is a thing but let's give people their flowers. She is great.
To all you idiots out here this girl work she earned what she got because they going to look at that Blackness first before they look at that whiteness Center near me girl you going to keep doing what you doing cuz you earned it you work hard for what you have and I pray to God I know he had a hand in it don't let these people it is out here just told you cuz they don't know there's too many of us blacks walking around here like we white you hear me
Yess!! I not only agree with your mindset, I respect it!! We ALL need to remember that its who you are on the inside that matters the most in life. Looks alone wont get you far & they only last so long.. it's your personality, attitude, smarts, tolerance & willingness to learn that will matter the most & get you the furthest in life. Zendaya is NOT great because shes a (half) black girl with a fair complexion, shes great because of her hard work, determination & kind personality. Period. Point. Blank
The black community loves Zendaya because she speaks up! She makes sure to include and represent black people if all shades and doesn’t want or let her open door shut behind her. We love her!
@@strikermi9 of course not. Darkskins hate lightskins. They make it very obvious they hate everyone who isn't dark brown with very tough hair. Everyone who isn't that "isn't black enough to represent "us"" whoever tf "us" is.
"You're too light to be Black. You're too tan to be White." Imagine if we just accepted that Love has No Color and our children are the representation of that Love! 🥰 Zendaya is the epitome of class 👏
@@mr._sharpe Honestly should just stop the race debate. She got into Hollywood because of her own success. Not because of her race. And she and people won’t accept that.
Different skin color is simply about different amount of Melanin in the skin. Melanin in an important Protein that absorbs UV light and other forms of light like InfraRed & Visible colors. Under the skin all humams ARE THE SAME. Racism is ignorance and a waste of time.
Too light to be black too tan to be dark so wat does that make her???? if she dosent pick a side she will become a person without a cultural perception, which will make her insecure and feel ostracized
She has worked extremely hard to get where she is. She is a 'quadruple threat'. She sings, dances, she is a very good actress and she drop dead gorgeous. And it doesn't hurt that she is a very likeable human being. Go, Zendaya, go.👍🏽
Yet, like her mother will she date, marry & procreate with someone who looks like her Father? The ultimate cultural pride is marrying and creating children with someone of that culture.
Zendaya is gorgeous. She deserves absolutely NO hate. She only deserves love and kindness. Treat others how you would like to be treated, no matter what it’s about.
She is not black neither is Obama. Its the one with mixture at least that were able through their arab or white mixture at the Coast of africa arabis to bring culture . The irony is you claim pure black all time while deny Gambia as ur origin and claim other mixed histories
@@eskimo9754 Why does it fucking matter? It doesn't make anyone better or worse just because of their skin color. You are supposed to judge someone off of their character not skin color. To view any race as higher or lower in rank, status, or quality is the definition of racism.
Yes, most biracial Americans understand that Whites do not claim them. They are grouped in with the Black community; where they are embraced (by most) and can just be a person. The AA community is very racially mixed in most communities. Speaking from my own experience and where I grew up. If bi-racial people don’t grow up around BP or friends; they may not identify with that group. But they can feel different. But whatever, just live life no matter your race, skin color, or culture. Be you.
its funny, my sister looks just like Zendaya, like the same person, but we don't have black roots (we are from Chile). And here neither my sister neither Zendaya i think would be considered "black". I guess the perception change in each country. But i understand USA culture is different. Just, its funny that thing of "races"... its so subjective, depends of culture so much.
@@emm8071 i think he is saying that black people are stereotyped for using their skin colour as a weapon to be racist and victims of white supremacy the slavery of their ancestors. I think he is saying its time black people stopped using slavery from past generations as a reason for their poor life choices and an excuse for poor societal behaviour. Not all blacks of course. But the typical stereotype. Personally I think its used by the white elite to keep us devided and fighting eachother while they take total control.
The vast majority of the black community loves zendaya. She barely gets any hate, especially from us. People do criticize her place in Hollywood but its not hate. They are mainly criticizing the system of colorism in place. She speaks about it as well and understands. Y’all really call everything hate.
I don't know a single Black person who actually knows who our 'Day-Day is who hates on her. She's been our girl from day 1. Once she escaped "The Mouse" she used her platform to stump for diversity of Black actresses in the industry. This video misses a lot. Nobody is allowed to hate or hate on Zendaya in most Black people's presence. She's everyone's little sister and we're proud of her. This video is hilarious. The creator should be embarrASSED.😂
As a dark skin black woman that had the privilege of being raised beautifully. We had all shades of color in my family and my grandmother didn't play that light skin dark skin crap. Unfortunately many didn't experience what I did.... so to this beautiful sister here let's give her a hand. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I LOVE IT!!! Speak out sis
So true I never experienced that as a child either and I'm glad I didn't because colorism instills ignorance within one self, if no one tells or show you better like a parent or grandparent should.
@@siarrawilliams9739no! She literally talked about how movies based off books of dark/brown skin women were being passed to her because she’s “mixed” and would constantly turn them down
I love the fact that Zendaya talks about colorizism & privileged. (Since people don't understand I'm talking about the stan that she takes about how it isn't right). Kinda strange 6k knew what I meant & others didn't. Clarification.
Exactly! 1st off, privilege isn't in our imagination. She owned it and respectfully said the ish gotta stop because we're to vast in magic 4me to represent it all. That's on PERIODT 😊
a lot of us do😮 look up ANGELA DAVIS 1972 & her views in Oppression, Political Awakening & Afro Pessimism💪🏾 Angela Davis also criticized Mainstream “mayonnaise” Feminism

This young woman has been raised by 2 absolutely incredible parents. She knows her privilege and acknowledges it publicly. She speaks out against Hollywood’s hypocrisy on the daily. She will always have my love respect and admiration.
What hypocrisy? There's a ton of even bigger actors who are way more black than she is. Even before her birth. The only hypocrisy is SJWs ignoring reality as usual and being totally obsessed racists with skin colour.
what hypocrisy are u talking about? i have seen more representation of people of colour in hollywood than in any film industry. yall are fighting for a problem that dont even exist.
Of course Zendaya is not hated in the black community. People who say she's hated in the black community are just racist white people trying to put black people against each other, that's an old tactic.

I believe in black girl magic too because I grew up knowing all skin colour is great but lots of people Hate me for my skin tone so I Believe in black girl magic❤ ❤❤❤❤❤
I think the parents did a good job on this talented beauty. She appears to have good sense in Hollyweird. I see her getting the Oscar one day. Her style is FAB. 😊😊😊😊
She is privileged and she knows it. Thats not her fault. She sctually stands up for black actors. For her role in disney she demanded a black family. Zendaya is down to earth
I know the feeling about when it mention about park she black enough, I get hated so many times, even people don't believe I'm half black, but I stand up for myself
I will never forget how when an interviewer mentioned how she’s the “only” young star (or maybe Disney star) who is Black and killing the game, she brought up China Anne McClain. Zendaya KNOWS her privilege, and will not hesitate to bring up OTHER, darker skinned/mono-racial Black women and make sure you say their names too.
She won't hesitate to mention the BLAKC women killing the game. Raven Simone gave alot of black and woc girls the chance to be on Disney and be the lead on their how. Zendaya has also made Disney have their first black family and non musical show by threatening to walk away from the network.
The Black community isn’t hating on Zendaya; she literally said it herself, she’s used as the model for acceptable blackness in Hollywood. But she clearly understands that and calls it out; she doesn’t deny it, but also doesn’t feed into it by pretending it isn’t real. We 100% claim her and she claims us, end of story. ✊🏾😍

I’m a big part of the black community. Never heard of this young lady until today. So if people were ACTUALLY hating I would have at least heard her name!
Exactly 💯💯💯👀 The only person I recall giving her grief for her braids was that reporter. She got heckled and quite possibly fired while Zendaya was praised for her braids and her black skin she's in.
Yes same. She really understands the assignment. For me, it's like... Why would I let anybody tell me not to be proud of my ancestry? And more importantly, why would I let white people tell me about the black community, and even just POC in general about how WE NEED to respond to one another. We stand together, united, and that's how we overcome the harm that has been done to our communities. They want us in-fighing, they want us killing each other, they want us mad. I refuse to give anybody any of that. And Zendaya knows what's up in Hollywood and the media. She knows what they're trying to do. Tear us down and apart. she said, no thank you, I'll be here doing MY thing whilst uplifting my sisters. That's what's up. I wish I had half her confidence and intelligence when I was her age. It's a fight, but we'll get there, all of us, together. We have to stick together and stop letting the government dictate how we live and love. ✌🏽🖤
@@O2BAmachine I will leave you with a quote by the great George Carlin. "That's all the media and the politicians are ever talking about, the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That's the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they the rich, can run off with all the f---ing money. Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know, anything different, thats what they gonna talk about. Race, religion, ethnic and national backgrounds, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality. Anything they can do, keep us fighting with each other so that they can keep going to the bank. You know how I describe the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the sh-- out of the middle class. Keep them showing up at those jobs."
As if every single black person is on the same page and there aren’t groups of black people with differing opinions… Just because YOU don’t hate on her doesn’t mean she doesn’t get hate from OTHER black communities. There are some subsets of black communities that hate anyone with white blood, just like how there are subsets of white communities who hate anyone with black blood
It's true on all counts. There are things I can get away with that my darker (literal) sisters can't, and there's something very wrong with a world that thinks like that. And you do get it from the other side too, telling you you are not black enough. It hurts, but not as much as the first part.
She's Not being honest in this video clip? She's basically saying that she's more successful than all the black actors who came before her because she has lighter skin? Biggest load of BS I ever heard!
@@morticiag She is NOT hating on other black actors! She is simply acknowledging how the industry treats black entertainers, which creates division. She obviously wants blacks to be treated equally, regardless of skin color.

All black Americans do. Her dad is black American. He traced his roots and found out he has ancestry from Nigeria. So he changed his name to a Yoruba name.
Wow, I am so sick & tired of this hating of people because of there color. It is what it is. People are privileged for many reasons, it's just part of life. To look at the darkness or lightness of black or skincolor is absurd. Just Live People. We all gonna die so lets just enjoy life wherever or whatever you are. Peace🙏🏾👍🏾💗
Some gate keepers of being black did the same to the great Whitney Houston. I was shock that Al Sharpton call her Whitey Houston. Just because she her music appeal across colour. They do the same now to Lizzo who is not racially ambiguous.
Speaking up and actually doing things for change are way different. You think she’d jeopardize her popularity in many races to actually help the black community and look like a villain and woke person?🤣
Nice to see the world changing for the better in a few aspects. I'm lightskinned, and when I was a kid, darker skinned kids never accepted me as black.
I've only seen support for Zendaya. She's an astute observer of the industry and has always vocalize her opposition to its injustices and worked to counteract it. Sister is righteous through and through.
@@cindi5092 She mostly identifies with her Afro-American side than African, she also supports Afro-American people. Never seen her claim Africa or talks about what's happing in many African countries.
The thing is, as a mixed girl, we have to recognize we are MIXED. That's different, but that doesn't mean we can't be proud of our black ancestry, okay? It's the fact that she speaks about how it's unacceptable to ONLY lift up light skinned women. Instead of being all "owww, redbone, etc." It's our duty as a person of color to never ever allow others to let us in fight over our beautiful blackness. Whether you fully black but just light skinned, half, whatever. If people perceive you as black, and especially if you identify with your blackness, don't let people hate on you. However, there are differences due to colorism that go back decades that need to stop. And we should try our best not to perpetuate that garbage.
@@jenningsmills5398 Not that it's special, but often when you're mixed and don't look like your family, you get treated differently and it's negative. I'm mixed and my family on my mom and dad's side don't really accept me because I'm a few shades too light for them. It's important to talk about it because we didn't ask to me mixed just how we ended up so I'd be nice if even family gave us a chance too to be accepted. Oh and I'm half Navajo, that's one of the native American tribes, and I'm also black n mexican. Supposedly I come from a whole group of peoples where family is a core value but when you come out too light skinned or dark skinned, that same family got something to say and dictating if you're black enough, Mexican enough or native enough. And yes obviously it isn't like this for everyone but I'm talking about those who do have it like this and why we feel being mixed isn't special but it's difficult and we gotta address the fucked up treatment.
I mean she's openly proud of being black and an inspiration but also aware of her privileges. She literally TALKS about these stuff. There's no reason to hate her wtf
Most of the black community doesn't, by 'hate' they mean people pointing out how, in some ways, she's privileged which is something she ACKNOWLEDGES. It's a rage bait post meant to make you see black people as unreasonable.
She’s not black tho, her mother was very white and she has more white than black in her skin, most Latin, indian, and Asians are darker than her, are you gonna call them black as well? She’s more of a light skin or mixed race color
@@Pilgrimetroher mother was very white and her father was very black. That nakes her 50% of each. It's about roots, not what you look like. I know someone who is VERY lightskin, more then Zendaya, but her father is black. I know another person who could pass off as fully black, but is mixed. Her mom is straight up white. Looks can be deceiving.
@@Pilgrimetro she is black. white people don’t just get the type of hair zendaya has if they aren’t black. she’s half white and black and you can’t take that away from her.
Nah I am unapologetically. Zendaya is one of my least favorite actresses. Shes not nearly as good an actress as everyone says and THATS her priveledge. Not having to be as good because her skin is light.
@John Bryer Of course. Even tho season 2 Euphoria was an absolute mess, Rue’s character and her journey of drug abuse to healing was done well imo, Zendaya’s performance and acting was very good. If you don’t like her acting then that’s on you, but I like it, full stop.
Its funny right, I like her because shes a talented actor and seems kind and fun to be around. I couldn't care less what her skin colour is. Why does she have to be a representative of black people, can she not simply shine as an outstanding individual. Not everyone needs a participation trophy that creates entitlement.
Zendaya is a Queen in our black community. The respect for her is real because she works hard at her craft and understands exactly who she is and what she represents. Added later: I think it's quite interesting how everyone is commenting on her being biracial. I never said that she wasn't biracial. Furthermore, please understand the racial standard in America goes back to slavery days. Oh yeah, we had slavery here for all of those of want to forget and erase history. Like you are still black if you are like 1/8 of black running through your blood. And the brown paper bag standard. Unless this standard has somehow changed and according to your comments it hasn't because you had to say it. You should watch the Free State of Jones if you want to play like you don't know. Well, I don't some of y'll don't.
If Zendaya has children with Tom Holland will you call their children part of the black community too when they’ll be 75% white? When do they become mixed or white to you?
She is as Black as she is White; she can and should claim both sides rightfully without fear of backlash from either race. Her genetics have determined that; not me, not you or anyone else should tell her who or what she can be 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
@@ImogenShade good for you...though there is pressure in general from society, the same old bs which is out there. We are who we are and never should anyone feel that pressure..also like you Zendaya there is the assumption you think your white (which yeah you are) comes from and still exists the privilege of being white which is easy to say it's the problem of those black or white know it and there is the pressure. That's the reality of society.
She is a combination BUT she would never be asked or expected to represent whiteness. She should be able to embrace her biracial identity, which she does. In that process she acknowledges a 'light skin' privilege that aspects of black cultures also puts on a pedestal.

Just like i could never tell you as a white person how you’ve experienced life. PERIOD. Furthermore, it’s plain and simple that color still plays a small role in Hollywood casting among countless other areas. Zendaya speaks on it, here. So whether you like it or not, it’s still happening. Whether black people/ POC use this as a crutch is an entirely different manner. Don’t downplay history and facts.
it isnt tho she is as much white as she is black. By your logic nobody should find it weird when i call her Caucasian
This girl has worked to darn hard to be told it's because of her skin colour. Yes colourism is a thing but let's give people their flowers. She is great.
Most of hollywood famous actress are all full black women.
To all you idiots out here this girl work she earned what she got because they going to look at that Blackness first before they look at that whiteness Center near me girl you going to keep doing what you doing cuz you earned it you work hard for what you have and I pray to God I know he had a hand in it don't let these people it is out here just told you cuz they don't know there's too many of us blacks walking around here like we white you hear me
Yess!! I not only agree with your mindset, I respect it!! We ALL need to remember that its who you are on the inside that matters the most in life. Looks alone wont get you far & they only last so long.. it's your personality, attitude, smarts, tolerance & willingness to learn that will matter the most & get you the furthest in life. Zendaya is NOT great because shes a (half) black girl with a fair complexion, shes great because of her hard work, determination & kind personality. Period. Point. Blank

No, you’re wrong, sis!!
Love does have color.
Because when you’re in love everything turns into PINk!! 😄😄😄
Different skin color is simply about different amount of Melanin in the skin.
Melanin in an important Protein that absorbs UV light and other forms of light like InfraRed & Visible colors. Under the skin all humams ARE THE SAME.
Racism is ignorance and a waste of time.
Too light to be black too tan to be dark so wat does that make her????
if she dosent pick a side she will become a person without a cultural perception, which will make her insecure and feel ostracized
She has worked extremely hard to get where she is. She is a 'quadruple threat'. She sings, dances, she is a very good actress and she drop dead gorgeous. And it doesn't hurt that she is a very likeable human being. Go, Zendaya, go.👍🏽
Yet, like her mother will she date, marry & procreate with someone who looks like her Father? The ultimate cultural pride is marrying and creating children with someone of that culture.
Debatable, but I do like her though
I agree with u
she was put into modeling as a very young child...practically thrown into the deep end, she had a massive head start..
Her parents sold her in to the entertainment industry
Be you, Zendaya! You're talented, beautiful, smart as hell, and most importantly, kind. With everyone coming for you, be strong, you walk with grace.

@@eskimo9754 Why does it fucking matter? It doesn't make anyone better or worse just because of their skin color. You are supposed to judge someone off of their character not skin color. To view any race as higher or lower in rank, status, or quality is the definition of racism.
Yes, most biracial Americans understand that Whites do not claim them. They are grouped in with the Black community; where they are embraced (by most) and can just be a person. The AA community is very racially mixed in most communities.
Speaking from my own experience and where I grew up. If bi-racial people don’t grow up around BP or friends; they may not identify with that group. But they can feel different.
But whatever, just live life no matter your race, skin color, or culture. Be you.
its funny, my sister looks just like Zendaya, like the same person, but we don't have black roots (we are from Chile). And here neither my sister neither Zendaya i think would be considered "black". I guess the perception change in each country. But i understand USA culture is different. Just, its funny that thing of "races"... its so subjective, depends of culture so much.

I will leave you with a quote by the great George Carlin.
"That's all the media and the politicians are ever talking about, the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That's the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they the rich, can run off with all the f---ing money. Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know, anything different, thats what they gonna talk about. Race, religion, ethnic and national backgrounds, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality. Anything they can do, keep us fighting with each other so that they can keep going to the bank. You know how I describe the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the sh-- out of the middle class. Keep them showing up at those jobs."

@@Pilgrimetroher mother was very white and her father was very black. That nakes her 50% of each. It's about roots, not what you look like. I know someone who is VERY lightskin, more then Zendaya, but her father is black. I know another person who could pass off as fully black, but is mixed. Her mom is straight up white. Looks can be deceiving.
@@Pilgrimetro she is black. white people don’t just get the type of hair zendaya has if they aren’t black. she’s half white and black and you can’t take that away from her.
No one in the black community is hating on her cause she is self aware and is an active advocate for darker skin black women. Nothing hate.
Exactly. Love sis
Nah I am unapologetically. Zendaya is one of my least favorite actresses. Shes not nearly as good an actress as everyone says and THATS her priveledge. Not having to be as good because her skin is light.
@@blaackberry Well thats on you, I think she's a good actress, I've been watching her since her Disney days and always supported her.
@John Bryer I personally did not think she could act until I watched Euphoria. I do indeed think she is talented and deserved the awards she won.
@John Bryer Of course. Even tho season 2 Euphoria was an absolute mess, Rue’s character and her journey of drug abuse to healing was done well imo, Zendaya’s performance and acting was very good. If you don’t like her acting then that’s on you, but I like it, full stop.
She is not only beautiful with her complexion but she is also very talented
Its funny right, I like her because shes a talented actor and seems kind and fun to be around. I couldn't care less what her skin colour is. Why does she have to be a representative of black people, can she not simply shine as an outstanding individual. Not everyone needs a participation trophy that creates entitlement.
I love her. She’s the real deal and isn’t afraid to discuss anything. That’s magical!
Yes girl, claim all that you are. I know I would. Don’t let anyone put you in a box!
She is mixed not black
@@parisarnett87Right?? The irony of that statement 😂
She should claim her white half too
ROFL!!! She's so "pro-black" that her boyfriend is Tom Holland...
@@parisarnett87 And what exactly is she mixed with?
People can never let anyone else be happy.
Not only that skin color is magical EVERYBODY IS❤
Zendaya is a Queen in our black community. The respect for her is real because she works hard at her craft and understands exactly who she is and what she represents.
Added later:
I think it's quite interesting how everyone is commenting on her being biracial. I never said that she wasn't biracial. Furthermore, please understand the racial standard in America goes back to slavery days. Oh yeah, we had slavery here for all of those of want to forget and erase history. Like you are still black if you are like 1/8 of black running through your blood. And the brown paper bag standard. Unless this standard has somehow changed and according to your comments it hasn't because you had to say it. You should watch the Free State of Jones if you want to play like you don't know. Well, I don't some of y'll don't.
She ain’t no queen in our community. She is half black but lives white, marry white and plays white on the movie screen. 😂
She's white too?
Zendaya is Mixed. And there is nothing wrong with that......
If Zendaya has children with Tom Holland will you call their children part of the black community too when they’ll be 75% white? When do they become mixed or white to you?
Jesus these comments. If we are going by appearance, she is more black than white but genetics she is half
She is as Black as she is White; she can and should claim both sides rightfully without fear of backlash from either race. Her genetics have determined that; not me, not you or anyone else should tell her who or what she can be 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
How come they never claim the white side? It’s not hard to claim both, I do!
@@ImogenShade good for you...though there is pressure in general from society, the same old bs which is out there. We are who we are and never should anyone feel that pressure..also like you Zendaya there is the assumption you think your white (which yeah you are) comes from and still exists the privilege of being white which is easy to say it's the problem of those black or white know it and there is the pressure. That's the reality of society.
Well said 👏 👌 👍
She is a combination BUT she would never be asked or expected to represent whiteness. She should be able to embrace her biracial identity, which she does. In that process she acknowledges a 'light skin' privilege that aspects of black cultures also puts on a pedestal.
100% agree.
Well, all I have to say is her parents produced beautiful young women inside and out. ❤
I love that she acknowledges it and at the end of the day, her colour can open a few doors but it's her talent that gets her places.
The black community does not hate this intelligent young sister!
Literally if anything we love her for speaking out!!
whose sister?
@@NonchalantSims facts!
Yea you guys love her because she speaking about issues that will never be fixed. It's not her problem to fix. You guys saying good on her but what's that your going to do.
@@Jamie-ix8vj I read your message & when people say the things like you do, it shows they have a false media feed idea on who my people really are, just like this video who chose this title on purpose to spread more lies about my people,and feed those who look for these titles to further ignite that good old fashioned racist heart for views. If that’s true, then I feel sorry for you, cause carrying around hatred for a people is a sad way to live and I don’t envy you. Glad I don’t have that problem.
Hey, she is in a class all to herself! She is gorgeous, has a positive attitude, and she's talented and humble!
Positive attitudes toward things is magic itself!!…don’t succumb to human diminishing & dehumanising!!…Go Zendeya!!❤❤❤
I liked Zendaya until I heard her in this video clip, trying to pander to the Woke mob... She's acting like she's only successful cause she's light skinned??
Bit of a slap in the face to all the dark skinned actors, past and present, who are WAY more talented and successful than she'll Ever be! Don't you think?
@@morticiag that’s not what she was saying, because she is light skinned she has a privilege that other darker skinned black girls don’t have and that needs to change
@@BlackRoyalty-hh8tb How does the industry treat black people??
How are all the black actors and actresses poorly treated??
Zendaya is NOT more privileged than others who are Darker skinned:. Oprah Winfrey? Lupita Nyongo? Angela Bassett? Queen Latifah? Naomi Campbell? Tina Turner? That fat chick ? Etc etc etc.
..
Zendaya is Less talented than them and earns less money and is less popular than them...
How many Asians or whites are acting in Nigeria's Nollywood's industry?
@@morticiag Hollywood has always had it out for black women, Zendaya has a privilege over dark skinned women like Lupita, like Oprah because of a little thing called colorism
Leave her alone. She is privileged because of her acting abilities not because of her skin colour. She's very talented as well as very beautiful inside and out. So people need to stop being jealous.
Everyone is magical any skin color
She has a unique look and her father was able to push her and make moves.
That’s talent, hard work and networking.
Industry plant you fool
Unique look... no... Lol unique as an individual... absolutely
@@intuitivetasha113 uhhhhhh what? Lol I dont get what your tryna say
@@kelsey2333idk
Zendaya is a real one. Expect haters. Love you, Zen.
She has a white mother so you are going to tell her to forget that woman that birth her
@@msrenee7023 girl what? Get off of TH-cam girl
@@msrenee7023 you have only seen a 60 sec clip, you dont know what culture she embraces
@@rtaijahyches8834 I don’t care the problem is black people sit and praise these celebrities like their goddesses and gods. Furthermore, she has a dad that don’t even wanna be black he cane to America thousands of miles away ONLY TO MARRY A WHITE WOMEN HES FROM SOUTH AFRICA. Black people ARE LOSING RIGHT NOW. Y’all treat the oppressor better that you treat your OWN MOMMA! 😩🤦🏾♀️
@@msrenee7023 firstly you assumed her father doesnt want to be black for what? All he have ever spoken about was how he was shunned for being a black father to a successful and famous daughter. Even to the point to where zendaya being scred for his life.
Stay strong queen I am a black African from South Africa and I'm always being told I am not black enough to be black but I am 100% black 👍♥️🫂🙌🇿🇦
You absolutley right girl, we're magical❤
Zendaya is such a beautiful person inside and out. The way she speaks to people, showing she is actually listening and cares about what they say, is magical in itself. She is very smart and articulate. She is so talented, kind, and funny. In a time where it's such a me, me, me culture, that alone makes her even more special.
Its actually really annoying and sickening that they will come after her for being “not black enough” how dumb can that be, Zendaya never said she’s fully black she accepts the fact that she’s half black but that doesn’t mean she can’t embrace still having black heritage
Her mom is Caucasion. It's not a big deal. She's just biracial, not 100% black. Barack obama sat in a caucasion woman's gut for 9months and he was black enough.
Who said she isn't black enough? She's not supposed to be she's her own person ontop of being biracial.
@@bres.4806 the video literally said haters say she isn't black enough
@@bres.4806did you even listen to the damn video????? USE YOUR FUCKING EARS or put captions on if you are hard of hearing
@@justari8967 The haters are just jealous ugly ape-looking skets. 😂
She is beautiful .she privileged cuz she gorgeous and she been working since 10 and she has a good vibe and she is intelligent and cute that's why she don't talk all ghetto and she from Oakland. But like I said she been in Disney since 10 lol but she is talented
The black community loves Zendaya
