I agree. This is a huge problem with jubilee usually. They only pick young people and obviously their experience different from older generations who have experienced more under a certain circumstance so you don’t hear enough variety.
Yeah, these questions were on point. The only other topic they could have added was "being traffic stopped by the police". But other than that, they hit everything.
@@heathertea2704 I think that was the point. Videos like these are suppose to address long standing stereotypes and give a different perspective to how the actual affected Black men feel.

So many dark skin black men feel the same way Percy does. They are so uncomfortable in their own skin that they project their insecurities onto dark skin black women, constantly tearing them down and placing light skin women on a pedestal. Colorism is such a huge problem in the black community and I’m glad Jubilee addressed it
@@imanigordon6803 how did you come to that conclusion ? He was completely honest about his internalized hate and how that led to his preference. I’m simply stating that other men most likely feel the same way
@@143sierranicole Yes his internalized hate didn’t start out of the blue it came from years of trauma just trying to flesh out that point so it doesn’t look like you’re intentionally skipping over that part
As a dark skin black woman I appreciated Percy’s honest perspective. Growing up in self hate is real and causes a lot of damage that affect both men and women. Also nice to not have someone gaslight what black women experience everyday. We always knew.
I appreciate you for understanding me but most importantly I also agree with you. I had to shed a light on that because many black people feel the same way I feel but don't want to admit it
It was so nice seeing Black men speak so highly of therapy. I've been seeing a therapist for the past year and I agree that it's one of the best things you can do for yourself and Black people especially could benefit
I really love how open that guy was on the colorism subject because so many black men deny that they’re colorist and also deny their self hatred for dark skin
@@P03ticJustice no. I don't think it's been done yet. They did one with black people and one with black moms but not just black women. Hopefully it'll be next.
I think they could have done better at the beginning. The first 5:20 were fluff and the men did their best to create a dialogue from it but there is soo much more that I want to hear about from black men (as a black woman) then whether they like big butts.
@@cashjones6997 they were hot takes that people on Instagram suggested. While I agree that there could have been deeper topics discussed, they probably chose ones that were common suggestions. And I mean they’re a TH-cam channel so they’re going to do what a lot of their audience wants so they get more views and stuff
@@aceofhearts0 There are plenty of men out there who sexually harass women and think of it as normal or just "boys will be boys". So they think that homosexual men will catcall and harass them the same way and it makes them uncomfortable. Add in the extra layer of having to share male exclusive spaces with them and the fear is exacerbated.
strongly admire Percy’s honesty when it came to the colorism question, at first I wasn’t so happy but realized it came from his childhood trauma and of course a persons own subconscious. (pls be kind in the comments 😭)
@@workingonmyself I am a Black woman and have experienced colorism to an extent but have seen firsthand the detrimental factors of colorism to my peers and I definitely know that colorism is an issue. But in his case I can acknowledge that growing up as Black children we don’t get to pick and choose what society has ingrained into our subconscious. I am young and my outlooks will change but it definitely hits home!
Percy’s comments on colorism definitely stood out. No one else there had his skin color so I think it’s harder to imagine that experience. Even if someone is lighter they might idealize looser hair or light eyes/hair. His feelings are totally understandable and I feel like it is better to be honest about it than to pretend you don’t feel it. Much respect to him!
@@toduno927 Which makes sense, because it's actually a defense mechanism to the trauma he experienced. To turn into the same "oppressor" you experienced, in order to feel accepted or liked. Kudos on his honesty about it, because it's def real.
A lot of Black men do feel the way Percy does, but simply won’t admit it. I’m glad he did and explained that it doesn’t mean light skin or dark skin is superior instead of the usual lighter is better. When I was younger a lot of my dark skin friends would talk about getting with lighter partners or a different race so their kids will be lighter or have looser hair. It’s all our own insecurity and trauma.
It happens in the Asian community too. In fact parents straight up say that “my son is beautiful but I wish he’s a bit lighter” blatantly. It hapens to most races or so I heard, even with white people wanting their kids to be not too pale. I think you’re 100% right and it’s just insecurities from our culture that escalates this
Percy's realness got me high key emotional. His transparency was refreshing and absolutely needed because he's right -- a LOT of men (not just Black) have these eurocentric preferences created and proliferated by the media and general culture. The only way to change the course is by engaging in honest discourse.
Thank you for understanding my perspective. I had to be honest with myself and the viewers. Hopefully what I said helped others in their journey in discovering their truth. I appreciate the love! -Percy

High key. This is the case for alot of African Americans. It's like Pavlov's dog. Conditioning. As a black person you can't fault someone to how they adapt(non violent) to their trauma of being black in America. At least he's honest instead of projecting onto black women. And he deserves someone who can love him💞 for him regardless of being black if that person isn't black so be it. I'm just glad he finally started loving himself. 👏🐥🖤
haha i love it when it comes to positive serotype well you know it comes from somewhere wouldn't be a stereotype if it wasn't based on truth when its the negative stereotype its like i don't know where that comes from no truth to that
I'd love it if Jubilee would release extended or uncut versions of old middle grounds and spectrums that were only about 10 mins. They feel unfinished.
When he said that parents can break your heart more than anyone else can i really felt that. Loved seeing all the support they gave each other in this video tho !!
re: Jubilee Team - ONE suggestion: Make the center/standing line yellow, red or blue so that we can get a better visual of the polarity from the neutral point! 😁
I'm glad Percy was honest about the colorism conversation. Alot of darkskin black men have this subconscious mindset but havent done the inner work or healing to acknowledge it or accept it.
that conversation about becoming the people that bullied us really made me think. So I'm really glad that the conversation was handled respectfully, maturely and honestly
I 100% understand where Percy is coming from, growing up dark skin kids were bullied so I can understand how that leads to self-hate and perpetuates colorism. If you don’t like the way you look you’re not going to see the beauty in women with similar features. I
I get that argument to a certain point but at some stage you have to self-reflect and grow. I'm sure dark black girls got bullied too, yet they don't (all/seemingly collectively) look down on dark black men. We know the media has a huge role to play in this, but ijs. No more excuses... self-reflect and grow. You can like who you like, but try not to denigrate while you're at it.
@@theprinceoffreshair1164 Stories like yours ('I had a bias, realised it and worked to improve myself') are so important. Imo it makes a bigger impact than people just saying don't have a preference. Thanks for being honest!
Right. But it's also true that black people masculinize dark skin, which can positively benefit the men and negatively impacts the women. The reverse is true with the emasculation of light skinned men. And we should address the fact that we don't really see dark skinned women who were bullied exhibiting this behavior towards dark skinned men.
“There’s no such thing as a positive or negative stereotype” well said, Jared. It is a huge issue that there is a common misconception that any stereotype can be “positive.” Stereotyping needs to end. Period.
Stereotypes are often true. But you should never judge a book by its cover. And it's interesting what kinds of stereotypes we don't mind so much. This whole episode was about stereotypes. But it's also about breaking them a bit. This is the interesting thing about humanity. We can boiled down to a set of circumstances like our culture and genes but there is remarkable diversity even in the most formal cultures and families.
To the point of the red-shirt guy drawing a parallel to women reclaiming the B-word. Most women don't like hearing men use the B-word. So you can also see why black people reclaim the N-word but get uncomfortable when other races use it. The negative history is still attached and always will be, so these words have to be used lightly and situationally.
i just don’t understand why he literally said the b word while trying to make a point that non black people shouldn’t use the n word but he said the b word
Same goes for the f word, Jew slurs, Asian slurs. Everyone knows them but nobody is bold enough or disrespectful enough to say it. So why the demand to say the n word ??
Facts! They were badgering the guy with questions on the pro-black & dating outside of your race, yet all seemed confused with Percy’s honesty. Make it make sense.
I like how Percy talked about colourism in the black community. This made me think about the colourism in Asian countries especially South Asian, let me tell India is one the country where fairness/whitening products sell for billions and the discrimination done by the film industry and the media is so disgusting. I want jublee to talk about this problem. There where even whitening products for babies and kids, I can't believe how this products are sold and the ads for these are straight up showcasing racism for dark skin tone. I hope people change thier ideologies soon.
I appreciate you for understanding my perspective. I definitely had to be real with myself and be honest with the viewers. Hopefully others learned something about themselves
This south Asian issue dates back to British rule the British rule y’all for over 100 years. They really white washed your history and I’ve been to India in the museums all your ancestors have white skin that is very sad. South Asian can get just as dark as Africans but y’all are racist at times that’s the issue that you need to addressed because a lot of times y’all want to be white and that’s what makes you dislike your old skin color as well as black people that’s the issue that needs to be addressed in your community.
@@theprinceoffreshair1164 Really appreciated the honestly, it's something that can be subconscious in our community and its cool your aware of it to the point you can articulate it so well!
It's interesting how they are against negative generalisations, like black people cheat more.. but they support positive generalisations, like black people are funnier
Another huge issue with homophobia in the black community is that a lot of black women will use homophobic language against hetero black men when they either reject them or do not comply with what is being asked of them. It's one of the more under discussed issues imo because it's used to attempt to demasculate.
I appreciate Percy’s honesty. That’s exactly what I’m looking for when I watch these videos. He is right, societal beauty standards, which influences our self-confidence, plays a significant role in our dating preferences. Even as a young child, I was well aware that my skin tone was not preferred. I only ever wanted white baby dolls, rejecting the black ones my aunt always used to bring me as “ugly”. This was my mentality at age 5; already cognizant of the privileges associated with having Eurocentric features. My journey to self-love, like Percy’s, has been hard fought. Colourism is an unfortunate reality in the black community, and negatively impacts the mental health of our youth, creating unrealistic beauty standards. I’m glad it was addressed.
Absolutely! There shouldn't be any hate towards percy on his explanation. Its valid because its the truth! Its not an excuse to bash darker women and i dont believe he was saying it was, but he made it clear that his environment didnt help him see the beauty of skin like his and it developed an insecurity. In my opinion, i believe the other men in the video were not totally honest on this topic. Its an overwhelming scene that black men prefer lighter skinned women or at least women with less black features especially the hair. They may be open to darker skinned women but the question was do they prefer lighter partners. The answers would be so different among an anonymous survey.
@@theprinceoffreshair1164 I do have a question, when talking about penis size everyone of you goes to "agree" without any mention of statistics or anything. Next question where its about cheating suddenly you need statistics and proof and blablabla. That is bias too.
My mother is really dark and was teased so much and hurt so badly that she only dated light skinned men. She was afraid her kids would come out dark like her. I hate people.
@@christinajones6500 white people totally do, just not to our faces. But it was by other black people and that's because dark black skin is furthest from white skin and we live in a country of white beauty standards.

@@yungaj6166 it’s a lot tho, just because it doesn’t apply to all men it certainly applies to a large quantity. Every woman I know has been sexually harassed and/or assaulted and it needs to be dealt with by all men
I really love Percy's honesty and being so open about he's trauma. I can really understand where he's coming from and I can actually kind of see myself. I'm a birracial person (mulata more exactly) and I've never feel enough "black" because I'm lightskin causing me to internalized a lot of racism so I would actually prefer to date a dark skinned person so if I have children (not that I want them lol) they would feel more connected to their culture without worrying about being black enough (just trauma things lmaooo)
@@theprinceoffreshair1164 I am SO happy you spoke out your mind and stood your ground, what you said is what many are thinking but it's uncool to say it out. I've always felt for my darker brothers. I saw it first hand the abuse and bullying on a friend/brother and it left in me a strong impression even though I always stood up for him which I think saved him from suicide. I never got beat down over my skin tone but I've seen it happen to others. Featurism is also another factor in choices of partners and how we and other people perceive us and how we ourselves see others and combine it with colorism and it creates a toxic concoction. So again, thanks brother.
All these men were VERY well spoken at expressing themselves. Normally you get 3-4 that do all the talking and you barely hear from some, but this group everyone got to talk. Lawrence spoke his mind and that's awesome!! This is why we need 30-minute episodes!!
As a black woman who happened to study behaviors based on races and cultures, I can say that statistics show black men are more different than you think. It’s a combination of stereotypes and uneducated people that always makes you think otherwise.
@@Peprahism Women, gay women, gay men,tans people, non binary people,etc.Literally only men do not think this because they dont want to evaluate their own behavior
As a Jamaican. The Belizean guy PERFECTLY described my relationship with my father. Financial based. Throughout my life my dad has always been financially supportive, but we have no connection. There is a lot about my father that I wouldn’t be able to tell my wife or my kids because I just don’t know. We don’t have deep talks or any memorable experiences together. As I got older we talked more and have gotten to know each other more. I think he’ll be an awesome Grandfather, I just wish I got to know him more as my dad growing up.
I think it's kind of the same for many Africans. Dad's are present for financial support but mothers mostly have that emotional connection. Though I'm sure it'd not be in some households. They make amazing grandparents though.
A father seems to be very necessary in a kids life but the amount of presence doesn't seem to matter so much. Men are often stoic providers who aren't big on words and big shows of affection. My dad wasn't. But his contribution to me was priceless. But affection and attention matter.
Same. He's been dead over a year now. I don't fault him; he provided for me until I could do it myself and that's all you can ask for. Though I'll admit it sucks he didn't put in a little extra effort to have some small relationship with me or teach me anything.
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear gid
Exactly that's why I feel this wasn't very engaging. Only 1 person I could say had a different upbringing while the rest seem like friends or go to the same school. To say do "all" black men think the same and only have one age group is misleading.
I love that Percy is so self aware and did some digging to realize the subconscious bias. There are a lot of black men with a very similar experience but they either refuse to admit or recognize the bias and why it's there. We really need more men who are willing to do some self reflection like that. Love it

Being tall just iced the cake! Meanwhile that’s the same stuff he got bullied for as a child. This world is disgusting, making perfect black features out to be ugly.
Thank you for the love and the compliment. It took me a long time to be confident in myself but now I have Confidence and Charisma. I appreciate you -Percy
you should have these dating questions about race on a middle ground with black men and women. I think it would provoke way more interesting conversations
“I prefer a light skin partner to a dark skin partner” thank you for bringing colorism into this Jubillee, though I wonder how much one would be willing to be honest 👀
I'm so grateful for Percy's honesty, we are constantly gaslighted on this subject and told it's all in our heads when we know exactly what is happening.
@@theprinceoffreshair1164 after a certain age it's difficult to change the beliefs that have formed in our subconscious, so don't feel guilty if you feel like the bias isn't going away. Just learn to deal with it so that you minimise the chances of being colourist to people and so that you don't pass it on. Best of luck
he’s the only one with that response on the panel, it is in your head sometimes and you cope by saying it’s that way because black men hate themselves, it’s cathartic for you to believe that the only way a black men could prefer another skin tone is self hate. Some are colorist, some aren’t.
@@fatherfather2357 We know our history and we also know that preferences for the most part, like most other things, are formed by social conditioning. Not randomly out of thin air as some would like to believe. So to pretend it isn't self hate most of the time screams ignorance. Also I don't believe the original commenter nor I mentioned anything about Black men being colourist let alone all of them, so I'm not sure what the point of saying "some are colourist, some aren't" was. Isn't this obvious and the case with most things
I don't know what questions would be asked, but I would love an episode on people in their Early 20's who grew up in the suburbs vs. people who grew up in the inner-city and talking about their different experiences growing up.
I just broke things off with a guy who grew up in the hood, while I was raised in the suburbs. And at first everything was fine, but the differences between our upbringings really molded who we were and the differences were just too much. I didn’t think it would be such a big deal, but it is
@@Feliciatanktop Would you mind expounding on the differences that were overwhelming? I've never heard or thought of the topic you brought up, so I'm interested.
Can we do a video of black teenagers teenager answering questions about how they were raised and how they grew up. Like you could do things like: “I’m often told I act white” and see the results. “I sometimes feel like I’m not black enough.” Or “I feel like I don’t “act black” enough.” I can’t think of too many questions on my own, but that’s what I got so far.
ikr, people in school used to call me an oreo. it was soo annoying. just because i like kpop & watch anime or go to starbucks here and there. i’m trying to act white…?
This video is as very refreshing to watch. I loved seeing these educated Kings communicate their emotions & thoughts in such a beautiful manner. They all were so open and understanding to each other . Wow
Thank you. I appreciate you for understanding my perspective. It can be tough being honest but I'm all about the truth. Im glad you enjoyed the video -Percy
I would be shocked if they cast only mono racial black women in a video like that. It seems like when they cast black men it’s almost always mono racial black men, but when they want to cast black women there are always biracial women included.
I agreed with this video idea untill you wanted to purposely exclude half black women. I can understand the mindset and see that this video is all dark skin black men and recognize that we don't have COMPLETELY identical experiences, but maybe having a little different experience then full blacks, could add an interesting perspective to the conversation
africans vs african americans? East africans vs West africans?(im somali and would love to see an east african person included in one of these “black” topics)
that would be amazing. i’m ethiopian and i would to see us (east african or just african in general) on the black topics. no hate to african americans tho💞
being adopted myself, and going through foster care like percy, i would be interested in a video about adopted people of different backgrounds and ages. i’d like to see how others were effected differently due to certain circumstances uncontrolled by the adoptees.
Same, I’ve been In foster care for the last 8 years and I feel like my experience compared to all my friends is so alien I just can’t ever talk about it openly and it’s even harder to find other people in foster care to talk to about their experiences and relate to
I’m glad he recognized that he needs to see an actual professional. It’s not fair to subject a partner to the emotional labor involved in being a makeshift therapist.
ngl the guy who said "zendaya"; read my mind. like i love her soo muchh but i feel like when casting black actresses, it really shouldn't be as hard as they make it seem to get other "pretty and dark-skinned black" women...
Lets be clear, zendaya is biracial, not black. Biracial women are cast in replacement of black women to the point of seeing the erasure of black women in media and seeing biracial women instead. And if they do have a black woman, she is playing the role of a negative stereotype. While there are black women in some positive lead roles they, are the same 5 black women. White women have endless opportunities. And biracial women have more than black women.
@@ifyouwantoreplyjustclickth5063 let's get one thing clear, i get what you're saying in terms of the erasure of black women in the media but zendaya is still partially black. biracial; sure but you cannot say she's not black. yes, she's mixed but who are you to erase part of her race??
@@ashschilly by calling her black, you are erasing her white side. Im against erasing her racial identity. Im for identitifying and acknowledg both equally. The only reason society calls biracial people black is because of the one drop rule which stemmed from the idea that racistbslave owners created. They literally believes biracial people arenrgood enough to be called white so they lumped anyone who has black genetics in together. Zendaya may identity with black culture but she is biracial not black. Unless you want to play the game, then i can say is white
@@ifyouwantoreplyjustclickth5063 you can't say you're for acknowledging both equally, if you're quick to say she's not black. being biracial doesn't mean you aren't any of the races you're mixed with, it simply means you're mixed. acknowledging the fact that you are mixed with one of the races you're mixed with, doesn't mean you're not the other/ that the other is less important. this topic refered to zendaya's black side of her race, so that's what i'll refer to. she is black, don't say she's not. and saying she is doesn't mean i'm saying she's not also white.
Nah, this conversation was beautiful for real. The way that these men held each other accountable and the introspection that they collectively did was so great to see. I really enjoyed every single one of these men.
I love, love, LOVE this video! The fact that these black men are being seen and heard and represented in an authentic way made this video a pleasure to watch. Per usual, Jubilee came with another great video! ✨😌
We need one for black male teens…..as a bisexual teen it is so hard to feel accepted just by black male alone. It is so bad when your emotions are guarded a shut down because your a male
Whew this whole video was therapy!!! I genuinely want to be friends with all these guys. I would love the conversations that would organically happen with this group.
With the the pro-black topic, It’s when someone proclaim to be pro black. Once you announce that to the community the expectation from others become high. That’s why people will look back at you twice when you date outside your race. People need to realize what limits the put on themselves when they self titled themselves as pro black. Can you be for the black cause without the title? ABSOLUTELY!! It like being a woman and proclaiming yourself as a feminist but then you live a traditional marriage lifestyle and support the manosphear. Just support what’s right and reject what’s wrong no need to put a title on it. If you do,you got live it through to the upmost standers
Couldn't agree more. Relating to the specific prompt, you fall in love with who you fall in love with. You can be for the black community, and also be with someone who isn't black
@@itsnatemate7697 well problack ideology comes from black ppl doing what they saw fit in response to the racism they have faced. When you’re excluded from spaces you find community amongst your own. Which is much different than* white ppl excluding bc they felt superior…
I definetely agree. If you're black and love yourself and your people, then that is enough! There is no checklist to these things. You have nothing to prove, you're already black as it is.
14:21: It was painful at first, of course, as a black woman, to see Percy walk over to "agree," but ultimately, it was that much more refreshing and gratifying to hear his honesty and willingness to engage with the other men's questions. Because that kind of honesty and active back-and-forth dialogue is what it really takes to begin unpacking internalized anti-blackness.
I believe homophobia is an issue because of hyper masculinity. Many black men see it as being something that takes from their masculinity. At least it’s that way in inner and outer city communities.
I love the fact the guys were brave enough to have an other opinion than everyone else and discuss it without changing their own opinion and position they chose. that's what I call strong 💪🏽
Hearing what Percy has gone through is heartbreaking. He’s a gorgeous guy and I am glad he’s feeling himself now. His realness is refreshing. It is hard to hear as a dark skinned black woman but grateful he is real.
I know during these prompts, everyone answers and parts are cut out. BUT, I genuinely wish they showed more of Jordan’s answers. They rarely show him talking throughout the video, and it’d be nice to hear his takes more.
I liked how aggressive the episode was tackling specific stereotypes. I would love to see more episodes like this pertaining to other races with men and women.
notice how they were all ready to battle for being able to be pro-black and date a white person but then pretended to have a problem with colorism. Something doesn't add up...the only consistent person was Percy in that questioning. I also think one of the guys was unintentionally triggering the other guy who has a bad relationship with his father being like "I know parents can be toxic but maybe you should like try to reach out!" it may to have been his intention but that really places a lot of guilt and responsibility on the child to be the "bigger, mature, person" than the parent. It feels very "some people don't have parents so you should cherish yours no matter what!"
So was Avery. I do agree that some of them were probably not being honest in that question but just because you’re willing to date outside your race doesn’t mean you’re colourist or don’t date black women
Church is not therapy. When you want your physical fitness to be better you don't pray it away, you go to the gym. The same can be said for mental fitness. My pastor has a therapist.
As a white dude who lived in Canada where there wasn't a single african american in my home town I sure learnt a lot. I'm also proud of who I've become, from that single minded small town person to someone I'm happy of.
African Americans don’t live in Canada. They’re called African-Canadians. Like Rocky Johnson a black Nova Scotian. Also I don’t think you learned a lot from Jubilee. These videos are highly edited to make people like you think you learned a lot when you watch them.
You obviously haven't really grown that much. You just referred to Canadian black people as African-Americans. Faux-virtuosity. Black folks, and all other folks for that matter, don't care to be as open minded about you as you try to be for them.
I don't think so, he was just more open and honest about his faults than the other guys. But best believe we ALL have faults. Percy was introspective, self-aware, and well-spoken. For all the trauma he went through, I'd say he turned out more than fine.
idk...16 minutes into this i was in tears, we cant change the way we were born. sending love to the youngsters dealing with this and learning to accept their wonderful bodies thy were born in
i wish there was a bigger age gap between the black men so we could hear more perspectives on this questions
It's not the same, but there's an episode on black teens vs black grandparents.
Yeah, age gap was probably like 25-35
I agree. This is a huge problem with jubilee usually. They only pick young people and obviously their experience different from older generations who have experienced more under a certain circumstance so you don’t hear enough variety.
Agreed. This was a group of jaded men all definitely by the same cultural values
They need some men in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s!
Jubilee was like “Baby we addressing every stereotype”. From homophobia to colourism to mental health and absentee fathers. They covered quite a bit.
some of these stereotypes hold true...
That's what I'm uncomfortable with, the Stereotypes in generalizing the Black male American experience/existence.
I actually didn't think they would?
Yeah, these questions were on point. The only other topic they could have added was "being traffic stopped by the police". But other than that, they hit everything.
@@heathertea2704 I think that was the point. Videos like these are suppose to address long standing stereotypes and give a different perspective to how the actual affected Black men feel.

@@workingonmyself I am a Black woman and have experienced colorism to an extent but have seen firsthand the detrimental factors of colorism to my peers and I definitely know that colorism is an issue. But in his case I can acknowledge that growing up as Black children we don’t get to pick and choose what society has ingrained into our subconscious. I am young and my outlooks will change but it definitely hits home!
Percy’s comments on colorism definitely stood out. No one else there had his skin color so I think it’s harder to imagine that experience. Even if someone is lighter they might idealize looser hair or light eyes/hair. His feelings are totally understandable and I feel like it is better to be honest about it than to pretend you don’t feel it. Much respect to him!

A lot of Black men do feel the way Percy does, but simply won’t admit it. I’m glad he did and explained that it doesn’t mean light skin or dark skin is superior instead of the usual lighter is better. When I was younger a lot of my dark skin friends would talk about getting with lighter partners or a different race so their kids will be lighter or have looser hair. It’s all our own insecurity and trauma.
Absolutely! But I am confident and comfortable with myself, it just took a long time to accept. And ehat you said is facts 👊 -Percy
It happens in the Asian community too. In fact parents straight up say that “my son is beautiful but I wish he’s a bit lighter” blatantly. It hapens to most races or so I heard, even with white people wanting their kids to be not too pale. I think you’re 100% right and it’s just insecurities from our culture that escalates this

I get that argument to a certain point but at some stage you have to self-reflect and grow.

No more excuses... self-reflect and grow. You can like who you like, but try not to denigrate while you're at it.

“There’s no such thing as a positive or negative stereotype” well said, Jared. It is a huge issue that there is a common misconception that any stereotype can be “positive.” Stereotyping needs to end. Period.
Stereotypes are often true. But you should never judge a book by its cover. And it's interesting what kinds of stereotypes we don't mind so much. This whole episode was about stereotypes. But it's also about breaking them a bit. This is the interesting thing about humanity. We can boiled down to a set of circumstances like our culture and genes but there is remarkable diversity even in the most formal cultures and families.
Except for when making fun of British people for having bad teeth
No. There definitely are. Black women stereotypes are not the same as white women stereotypes.
To the point of the red-shirt guy drawing a parallel to women reclaiming the B-word. Most women don't like hearing men use the B-word. So you can also see why black people reclaim the N-word but get uncomfortable when other races use it. The negative history is still attached and always will be, so these words have to be used lightly and situationally.
i just don’t understand why he literally said the b word while trying to make a point that non black people shouldn’t use the n word but he said the b word
I’m not down to hear the b word at all. Also I feel like most people are only fine with it if it’s their friend saying it in a joking manner
Same goes for the f word, Jew slurs, Asian slurs. Everyone knows them but nobody is bold enough or disrespectful enough to say it. So why the demand to say the n word ??
Well thats how it goes anyways since the n word probably been used by others races by then
Jews, Asians, Mexicans are not around here calling each other slurs.
Percy seemed the most honest out of everyone to me
How?
cap
Facts! They were badgering the guy with questions on the pro-black & dating outside of your race, yet all seemed confused with Percy’s honesty. Make it make sense.
I like how Percy talked about colourism in the black community. This made me think about the colourism in Asian countries especially South Asian, let me tell India is one the country where fairness/whitening products sell for billions and the discrimination done by the film industry and the media is so disgusting. I want jublee to talk about this problem. There where even whitening products for babies and kids, I can't believe how this products are sold and the ads for these are straight up showcasing racism for dark skin tone. I hope people change thier ideologies soon.
I appreciate you for understanding my perspective. I definitely had to be real with myself and be honest with the viewers. Hopefully others learned something about themselves
This south Asian issue dates back to British rule the British rule y’all for over 100 years. They really white washed your history and I’ve been to India in the museums all your ancestors have white skin that is very sad. South Asian can get just as dark as Africans but y’all are racist at times that’s the issue that you need to addressed because a lot of times y’all want to be white and that’s what makes you dislike your old skin color as well as black people that’s the issue that needs to be addressed in your community.
Mz Nurú it's both that and how colourism is so tied to classism there
@@theprinceoffreshair1164 Really appreciated the honestly, it's something that can be subconscious in our community and its cool your aware of it to the point you can articulate it so well!
It's interesting how they are against negative generalisations, like black people cheat more.. but they support positive generalisations, like black people are funnier
Another huge issue with homophobia in the black community is that a lot of black women will use homophobic language against hetero black men when they either reject them or do not comply with what is being asked of them. It's one of the more under discussed issues imo because it's used to attempt to demasculate.
💯💯
Facts!!!
True. I grew up with a toxic mother and I can't even count how many slurs she would call him when they got into arguments.
I’m not sure if that’s only black woman. Some woman in general.
Then they'll say they're allies to the lgbt community. Nawl, you was just calling me a maggot loool
I appreciate Percy’s honesty. That’s exactly what I’m looking for when I watch these videos. He is right, societal beauty standards, which influences our self-confidence, plays a significant role in our dating preferences. Even as a young child, I was well aware that my skin tone was not preferred. I only ever wanted white baby dolls, rejecting the black ones my aunt always used to bring me as “ugly”. This was my mentality at age 5; already cognizant of the privileges associated with having Eurocentric features. My journey to self-love, like Percy’s, has been hard fought.
Colourism is an unfortunate reality in the black community, and negatively impacts the mental health of our youth, creating unrealistic beauty standards. I’m glad it was addressed.
Absolutely! There shouldn't be any hate towards percy on his explanation. Its valid because its the truth! Its not an excuse to bash darker women and i dont believe he was saying it was, but he made it clear that his environment didnt help him see the beauty of skin like his and it developed an insecurity.
In my opinion, i believe the other men in the video were not totally honest on this topic. Its an overwhelming scene that black men prefer lighter skinned women or at least women with less black features especially the hair. They may be open to darker skinned women but the question was do they prefer lighter partners. The answers would be so different among an anonymous survey.
Percy’s a real one! 💯 So many people love to act like unconscious bias has no effect on dating/romantic preferences, but it absolutely does!

As a Jamaican. The Belizean guy PERFECTLY described my relationship with my father. Financial based. Throughout my life my dad has always been financially supportive, but we have no connection. There is a lot about my father that I wouldn’t be able to tell my wife or my kids because I just don’t know. We don’t have deep talks or any memorable experiences together.
As I got older we talked more and have gotten to know each other more. I think he’ll be an awesome Grandfather, I just wish I got to know him more as my dad growing up.
This is EXACTLY THE RELATIONSHIP I HAVE WITH MY FATHER
it’s never too late my friend.
I think it's kind of the same for many Africans. Dad's are present for financial support but mothers mostly have that emotional connection. Though I'm sure it'd not be in some households. They make amazing grandparents though.
A father seems to be very necessary in a kids life but the amount of presence doesn't seem to matter so much. Men are often stoic providers who aren't big on words and big shows of affection. My dad wasn't. But his contribution to me was priceless. But affection and attention matter.
Same. He's been dead over a year now. I don't fault him; he provided for me until I could do it myself and that's all you can ask for. Though I'll admit it sucks he didn't put in a little extra effort to have some small relationship with me or teach me anything.

I'm so grateful for Percy's honesty, we are constantly gaslighted on this subject and told it's all in our heads when we know exactly what is happening.
Thank you for understanding my perspective. I appreciate you -Percy
@@theprinceoffreshair1164 after a certain age it's difficult to change the beliefs that have formed in our subconscious, so don't feel guilty if you feel like the bias isn't going away. Just learn to deal with it so that you minimise the chances of being colourist to people and so that you don't pass it on.
Best of luck
@@naomiwilliams8850 I realized the error of thinking that way and I'm not like that anymore. But I appreciate you.
he’s the only one with that response on the panel, it is in your head sometimes and you cope by saying it’s that way because black men hate themselves, it’s cathartic for you to believe that the only way a black men could prefer another skin tone is self hate. Some are colorist, some aren’t.
@@fatherfather2357 We know our history and we also know that preferences for the most part, like most other things, are formed by social conditioning. Not randomly out of thin air as some would like to believe. So to pretend it isn't self hate most of the time screams ignorance.
Also I don't believe the original commenter nor I mentioned anything about Black men being colourist let alone all of them, so I'm not sure what the point of saying "some are colourist, some aren't" was. Isn't this obvious and the case with most things
I don't know what questions would be asked, but I would love an episode on people in their Early 20's who grew up in the suburbs vs. people who grew up in the inner-city and talking about their different experiences growing up.
Yes
Why early 20s?
I just broke things off with a guy who grew up in the hood, while I was raised in the suburbs. And at first everything was fine, but the differences between our upbringings really molded who we were and the differences were just too much. I didn’t think it would be such a big deal, but it is
@@Feliciatanktop Would you mind expounding on the differences that were overwhelming? I've never heard or thought of the topic you brought up, so I'm interested.
@@Feliciatanktop are the differences Only because of city vs suburbs/subdivision regions, & or because of
That individual's mindset-only?
Can we do a video of black teenagers teenager answering questions about how they were raised and how they grew up. Like you could do things like:
“I’m often told I act white” and see the results.
“I sometimes feel like I’m not black enough.” Or “I feel like I don’t “act black” enough.”
I can’t think of too many questions on my own, but that’s what I got so far.
ikr, people in school used to call me an oreo. it was soo annoying. just because i like kpop & watch anime or go to starbucks here and there. i’m trying to act white…?
Im sure many of us have experienced this. Great idea 👍
Great idea. People told me I speak and act white all the time.
Bruh. My friends would tell me this all the time. Almost word for word

I agree with you! Great episode.

I love how open and honest Percy was despite his responses being so different from the other guys 💖
Thank you. I appreciate you for understanding my perspective. It can be tough being honest but I'm all about the truth. Im glad you enjoyed the video -Percy
Proud of the guy who spoke about his internal struggle with Colorism. We need to talk about it.
I appreciate it. I had to be true and honest. Thank you -Percy
Mike was so educated like the points he came out with were so thought out, i’d love to see more of him on the channel
Please do “do all black women think the same” and make sure it’s mono racial black women.
Yes include black ppl from Africa, that will be interesting
this!!! because if they go and include biracials i will be mad
I would be shocked if they cast only mono racial black women in a video like that. It seems like when they cast black men it’s almost always mono racial black men, but when they want to cast black women there are always biracial women included.
Yes and include different types of black women, not just African Americans.
I agreed with this video idea untill you wanted to purposely exclude half black women. I can understand the mindset and see that this video is all dark skin black men and recognize that we don't have COMPLETELY identical experiences, but maybe having a little different experience then full blacks, could add an interesting perspective to the conversation
I loved how much they supported each other through most of the questions, especially the last one 😭
Yes! Love it when black men come together
africans vs african americans? East africans vs West africans?(im somali and would love to see an east african person included in one of these “black” topics)
Yessss
@SP4MAA they are black
that would be amazing. i’m ethiopian and i would to see us (east african or just african in general) on the black topics. no hate to african americans tho💞
@SP4MAA they are
@SP4MAA I’d say they are black, I know some of them don’t think so and can be very anti-black
being adopted myself, and going through foster care like percy, i would be interested in a video about adopted people of different backgrounds and ages. i’d like to see how others were effected differently due to certain circumstances uncontrolled by the adoptees.
Same, I’ve been In foster care for the last 8 years and I feel like my experience compared to all my friends is so alien I just can’t ever talk about it openly and it’s even harder to find other people in foster care to talk to about their experiences and relate to
So sorry to hear this.
Love that Jordan was honest about his woman being the therapist. It’s a tough job that often goes unnoticed.
I think he said his girlfriend is his therapist. I don't think thats her actual profession.
I’m glad he recognized that he needs to see an actual professional. It’s not fair to subject a partner to the emotional labor involved in being a makeshift therapist.
@Love Charlie J Yeah I understood that. I just meant for them.
@Mochachina Rae'Chelle Exactly
@@jazzypanduh for who?
ngl the guy who said "zendaya"; read my mind. like i love her soo muchh but i feel like when casting black actresses, it really shouldn't be as hard as they make it seem to get other "pretty and dark-skinned black" women...
Its the unspoken truth about the business. I know all too well. -Percy
Lets be clear, zendaya is biracial, not black. Biracial women are cast in replacement of black women to the point of seeing the erasure of black women in media and seeing biracial women instead. And if they do have a black woman, she is playing the role of a negative stereotype. While there are black women in some positive lead roles they, are the same 5 black women. White women have endless opportunities. And biracial women have more than black women.
@@ifyouwantoreplyjustclickth5063 let's get one thing clear, i get what you're saying in terms of the erasure of black women in the media but zendaya is still partially black. biracial; sure but you cannot say she's not black. yes, she's mixed but who are you to erase part of her race??
@@ashschilly by calling her black, you are erasing her white side. Im against erasing her racial identity. Im for identitifying and acknowledg both equally. The only reason society calls biracial people black is because of the one drop rule which stemmed from the idea that racistbslave owners created. They literally believes biracial people arenrgood enough to be called white so they lumped anyone who has black genetics in together. Zendaya may identity with black culture but she is biracial not black. Unless you want to play the game, then i can say is white
@@ifyouwantoreplyjustclickth5063 you can't say you're for acknowledging both equally, if you're quick to say she's not black. being biracial doesn't mean you aren't any of the races you're mixed with, it simply means you're mixed. acknowledging the fact that you are mixed with one of the races you're mixed with, doesn't mean you're not the other/ that the other is less important.
this topic refered to zendaya's black side of her race, so that's what i'll refer to. she is black, don't say she's not. and saying she is doesn't mean i'm saying she's not also white.
Nah, this conversation was beautiful for real. The way that these men held each other accountable and the introspection that they collectively did was so great to see. I really enjoyed every single one of these men.
I'm glad Percy was honest about how colorism has subconsciously affected him. A lot of people wouldn't be willing to admit that.
I appreciate you! I definitely had to be real and honest because I know I'm not the only one who's felt that way -Percy
@@theprinceoffreshair1164 Hey Percy, you got an Instagram?
I love how open they are to therapy. It shows their willingness to be vulnerable for the sake of growth ♥️
I love, love, LOVE this video! The fact that these black men are being seen and heard and represented in an authentic way made this video a pleasure to watch. Per usual, Jubilee came with another great video! ✨😌
We need one for black male teens…..as a bisexual teen it is so hard to feel accepted just by black male alone. It is so bad when your emotions are guarded a shut down because your a male

Jared was so passionate and we'll spoken when concerning his emotions. I was in constant awe of the points he and Percy were making or describing
I appreciate you Rose. Im glad you enjoyed my perspective and enjoyed the video! -Percy
Whew this whole video was therapy!!! I genuinely want to be friends with all these guys. I would love the conversations that would organically happen with this group.
With the the pro-black topic, It’s when someone proclaim to be pro black. Once you announce that to the community the expectation from others become high. That’s why people will look back at you twice when you date outside your race. People need to realize what limits the put on themselves when they self titled themselves as pro black. Can you be for the black cause without the title? ABSOLUTELY!! It like being a woman and proclaiming yourself as a feminist but then you live a traditional marriage lifestyle and support the manosphear. Just support what’s right and reject what’s wrong no need to put a title on it. If you do,you got live it through to the upmost standers
Couldn't agree more. Relating to the specific prompt, you fall in love with who you fall in love with. You can be for the black community, and also be with someone who isn't black
LOL then pro black sounds like a condensed racist excuse to target a specific race and exclude other races in terms of dating
💯
@@itsnatemate7697 well problack ideology comes from black ppl doing what they saw fit in response to the racism they have faced. When you’re excluded from spaces you find community amongst your own. Which is much different than* white ppl excluding bc they felt superior…
I definetely agree. If you're black and love yourself and your people, then that is enough! There is no checklist to these things. You have nothing to prove, you're already black as it is.
14:21: It was painful at first, of course, as a black woman, to see Percy walk over to "agree," but ultimately, it was that much more refreshing and gratifying to hear his honesty and willingness to engage with the other men's questions. Because that kind of honesty and active back-and-forth dialogue is what it really takes to begin unpacking internalized anti-blackness.
I appreciate that. We have to be real and honest and I wanted to give people authenticity! -Percy
sis, go watch the video "the false promise of Black love" by Mahogany Pink. thank me later
I believe homophobia is an issue because of hyper masculinity. Many black men see it as being something that takes from their masculinity. At least it’s that way in inner and outer city communities.
Stop blaming masculinity
@ LOL read his comment again
Nailed it!
Or probably because they are allowed to have sexual proclivities they don't accept like everybody else
There isn't a thing as hyoer masculinity
I love the fact the guys were brave enough to have an other opinion than everyone else and discuss it without changing their own opinion and position they chose. that's what I call strong 💪🏽
I think this was probably the most eloquent jubilee episode of this series
This was one of my favourite to watch! Real chat, respectful and great people.
It’s Percy’s honesty and black men acknowledging the importance of mental health for me❤️
I appreciate you Leigh! Much respect to you as well. -Percy
"Not eligible for Rhode Island residents"
idk why but Kendra saying that with a smile had me rolling lmaoooooo
why did they have that rule i don’t understand??
Hearing what Percy has gone through is heartbreaking. He’s a gorgeous guy and I am glad he’s feeling himself now. His realness is refreshing. It is hard to hear as a dark skinned black woman but grateful he is real.
This was an amazing episode, so happy it was longer cause a lot of this needed to be talked about.
“Do all Mexican-Americans think the same” there’s a lot to cover there
“Are all Mexican Americans hypebeasts “

I know during these prompts, everyone answers and parts are cut out. BUT, I genuinely wish they showed more of Jordan’s answers. They rarely show him talking throughout the video, and it’d be nice to hear his takes more.
This is one of the best discussions that jubilee has done. Great video.
I liked how aggressive the episode was tackling specific stereotypes. I would love to see more episodes like this pertaining to other races with men and women.
notice how they were all ready to battle for being able to be pro-black and date a white person but then pretended to have a problem with colorism. Something doesn't add up...the only consistent person was Percy in that questioning. I also think one of the guys was unintentionally triggering the other guy who has a bad relationship with his father being like "I know parents can be toxic but maybe you should like try to reach out!" it may to have been his intention but that really places a lot of guilt and responsibility on the child to be the "bigger, mature, person" than the parent. It feels very "some people don't have parents so you should cherish yours no matter what!"
Thank you for understanding my perspective Black Queen. I appreciate you -Percy
BOOOO!! Just because you don’t see a problem with dating another ethnic group doesn’t mean you have a problem with colorism. False equivalence.
@@larrythesociologist I am a 100% cat lover. Then I go right ahead to get a dog as my pet.
Ummm... ok let me leave it there.
So was Avery. I do agree that some of them were probably not being honest in that question but just because you’re willing to date outside your race doesn’t mean you’re colourist or don’t date black women
I agree. Some people assume that they haven’t already tried to reach out. It’s an over simplistic solution to a complicated problem.
Church is not therapy. When you want your physical fitness to be better you don't pray it away, you go to the gym. The same can be said for mental fitness. My pastor has a therapist.
Many churches provide counseling services. I dont know if that's what he meant though 🤔
It’s his therapy tho… that’s what he meant. So yeah it can be therapy.
He didn't say church was therapy he said his faith was his therapy.
As a white dude who lived in Canada where there wasn't a single african american in my home town I sure learnt a lot. I'm also proud of who I've become, from that single minded small town person to someone I'm happy of.

@@roxarecool based on how you describe black people, you should
@@myoongi613 Aww, did I not fetishize their racial identity?
African Americans don’t live in Canada. They’re called African-Canadians. Like Rocky Johnson a black Nova Scotian. Also I don’t think you learned a lot from Jubilee. These videos are highly edited to make people like you think you learned a lot when you watch them.
You obviously haven't really grown that much. You just referred to Canadian black people as African-Americans.
Faux-virtuosity. Black folks, and all other folks for that matter, don't care to be as open minded about you as you try to be for them.
I love how they listened to each other so well and allowed one another to have their time to speak their truth
The dark skin guy with the cool afro needs help. I feel for him and wish him and many others in his situation the best.
Percy is his name
I don't think so, he was just more open and honest about his faults than the other guys. But best believe we ALL have faults. Percy was introspective, self-aware, and well-spoken. For all the trauma he went through, I'd say he turned out more than fine.
He still needs to heal and unlearn the toxic ideologies
