I understand this was made to be “art” but we as Black people have to be aware of how our actions affect everyone. Dark skinned women have been historically left out and looked down upon. With Amia being left out we need to recognize the impact. The impact is more important than the intent.
@@mazal9895 Amia was definitely left out. An extra verse from a new artist is typically what makes a song a remix, not the complete removal of the original singer of the main chorus. What other songs have been remixed like that?
Y’all sound slow, if you’re lightskin and get pulled over you will be treated the same way. The more we have this narrative that light skin means you’re not black the more we will be on our own In our fight on racial injustice. Alienating bi racial people is pitiful and speaks on how insecure you must be to do such a thing. Black people come in many different shades this Is going too far . Yes you are not fully black if you’re mixed but the black dna is stronger than white so ultimately it shows more in your makeup than the white, regardless you black.
@@Kcanderson8508 so why do black people with dark skin get longer prison sentences if biracial people get treated the same as black people. Biracial people look the way they look because of their parents, not parent. Biracial people don't look completely white NOR completely black. These two women do not look the same.
@@ella4175 Thank you!! Agreed, Biracials are uplifted cause they aren't an exact copy of their black parent, rather a 'mix' of both. That's why a WW can 'black fish' in, but a LSBW can't 'white fish' in
@ONLY 4C A E S T H E T I C you’re using two examples of what it looks like to be mixed, but many still look black , you don’t just have to look black to be black that’s like saying “hey I’m Puerto Rican but I look white so imma just erase my Puerto Rican and call myself white” because many do look white. Same for native Americans that look Hispanic , do they just call themselves Hispanic cause that’s what they look like? No that’s retarded. Being black is more than just looks it’s your culture and you all seem to have forgotten that.
The piece about solidarity is 100% facts. As a light skin, a lot of light skin women need to truly get over themselves. You can’t claim blackness when it benefits you and then act like you’re superior to darker skinned women because being mixed and light skin is fetishized. That shit is trifling, and I’m glad more people are calling it out.
@@alliance8452 it’s the same mentality white people have when you call them out on all lives matter bs some light skins don’t want to admit they have privileges from colorism because they feel like it diminishes their blackness. They’re also always the center of attention so when it’s not about light skins they lose their shit. It’s pathetic.
@@MA-rw3ec thank you! You can acknowledge the privileges that come with being mixed while still keeping in touch with your black culture. As a racially ambiguous biracial girl (Latina Asian) I recognize that while there have been challenges that come with being biracial, I am also very privileged. Growing up in a mainly white and Asian area I wasn’t considered as pretty as fully white or fully Asian girls. But I was considered a socially acceptable version of a WOC and managed to avoid more overt forms of racism that darker skinned, unambiguous women face.
THIS!! they only claim it when it benefits them! Black women have so much power, everyone takes from us. The amount of people I have helped and they're silent when I needed them taught me so much, I just wish black women stopped caring for, teaching and helping everyone.
@@alyssapinon9670 exactly. My sisters are all darker than me, my biracial mother is even darker than me and more unambiguous, so I’ve been noticed the differences in how we’re all treated since I was a kid. Growing up I wanted 4c hair and darker skin like all my other siblings 😂 I’ve always thought unambiguously black features were the epitome of beauty and I hated being a light brite lmao
Im ( as a mixed girl) sorry for all the actually BLACK women still having to fight for their recognition... very very sad topic 2021 please let there be some change damn
@Proud Habesha there absolutely is! Me and my sister are both mixed but I pass for white and don't have black features really (mistaken for Italian, etc.), but my sister is lightskinned with a lot of black features. The way we are treated is NIGHT AND DAY, and we are literally the exact SAME mix. But all people see is how you look and treat you based off that, so she is "the black one" and I'm "the white one" 🙄🙄
why the f are you sorry? Enny WANTED jorja on the remix theyre a part of the same lable. Jorja has a larger fanbase off her supporters are going to be commenting as she hasn't dropped any music for a long time. This entire topic goes to show that the American experience is different to the UK.
It is. In western countries People only praise black women and especially dark skin black women in social media. Nevertheless, I am glad we (DSBW) recognize it now and face the truth. I'm done to be upset and now I'm playing the game as the same way that the others communities.
Enny's response is deffo wayward, jorja Smith is getting more recognition for HER song than she is and she's okay with a dark skin black woman being cut out of the remix while claiming to celebrate everyone and every tone...abeg 🙄
The song actively said y’all never wanna put us in the media, let’s be real black women aren’t psychic. People are choosing to ignore black womens issues. Like how can you listen to that and then put a phenotypically ambiguous women to sing/rap like cmon, this is purposeful at this point. It also shows how deep our indoctrination is because Enny really defended her teams decision.
These BM will not cop to what's really going on because it will ruin their chances with their "preference". They pit us against each other every chance that they get... and we sadly fall for it. If women stopped competing with each other, half of these dudes games would fizzle out!
EXACTLY! There’s way more dark skin men in the media than dark skin black women. I can name you quite a few dark skin black men that are constantly in the mass media, but only Lupita when it comes to dark skin black women constantly in the mass media. It’s like the world only allows one dark skin woman to trend per decade.
We have to check the reasons why they get their time in the light. Unfortunately, the racist ideas that black equals more aggressive, masculine, etc. can contribute to why black men are more visible, even if for the wrong reasons. We’ve got to keep it all in perspective.
Omg I thought the same thing. Because tell me why Jorja was getting the most recognition and attention of a song that isn’t hers? Dark skin women should be uplifted without the need of mentioning light skin women. It’s weird
Ironically not the first time either. Many folks think she's the original singer of 'Get It Together' and 'Superman' both songs belonging to unambigious black women. Not trying to deny her talent, just an observation.
I don't like Jorja at all!! I used to listen to her music a few yrs back but i saw a interview of her where the interviewer asked her about Colorism/Featurism and she totally brushed it off and gave an answer like it wasn't really a thing! I never listent to a song from her ever again after that interview
The “shes biracial so she’s black” thing never say right with me. Cuz of that’s the argument, she’s also white. If you’re biracial, you’re biracial you can’t just claim a side
You know who decided that mixed people are black ? White supremacists lol. In the mind of colonizers, white is pure. If you defile it with other races it's not pure white anymore. So yeah our standards are still white supremacists
@@neishachambers2719 a lot of afro americans are mixed with whites in the past but they still black right. Cause the look black, and thats why a lot of mixed kids are labeld as black
Exactly. I wish people would stop grouping light skinned mixed people in with light skinned black people. We have nothing to do with their biracial colorist antics.
@@porchmonkeypete9476 you don't know what you are talking about at all. Have you been to the continent? Nigeria, Namibia, S.A? Look at the Khoisan people? I do not know any great grand or ancestors that are white but here I am a light skin african woman. We are here and we're tired of the division tactic. When light skin women claim their race y'all always dragging colorism into it. Tf that have to do with us.
Exactly and controversy brings eyes and exposure to a product. They don't care about black folks getting in their feelings they just happy you clicked the video. lol
@@brownskinbeauty. but in the UK we dont claim mixed people as black. Thats why there was that controversy with Megan Merkel. Though i have seen some following in the steps of the US. But largely we dont.
@@SupergirlFaisa I never said you guys did, but this isn't a UK issue. It's a black issue, and we need to let mixed and biracial people have their own lane. Black girls are out here claiming people like Cardi B, even after all the racist comments she's made, but are quick to cancel full black girls with no problem. Then we turn around and complain when stuff like this happens 🤦🏾♀️ when in actuality we're promoting this nonsense
Idk what’s worse, the way society as a whole belittles dark skin black women or the amount of light skin mixed girls/light skin black girls who allows this. A good amount are happy to help dismiss dark skins black girls. Silence against the abuse we face is also violent.
Similar to white people, they like the privilege they receive from being lighter skinned and instead of addressing the privilege they have they like to ignore it. They don’t want to address it because that means they will lose it once they begin to be seen as equal with darker skinned women. Similar to white people, they will continue to act like it doesn’t exist as long as they benefit from it.
Rebecca I swear some of those accounts have to be fake because some of this crap is so obvious and whatever rock they live under or ignorance they choose to have over it, they are the ones getting screwed in the end and it’s sooooo obvious. it happens in asian countries too, just as much and more blatant so what could it be? do they think that if they play along with the destructive some how they’ll look good?
Realistically you cannot keep depending on light skin and biracials to come to your aid when it comes to colorism, majority of us understand that you guys suffer from it but there are some light skins and biracials who just cannot relate since we benefit from it an do not see it as our fight 🤷🏽♀️. They’re are light skin an biracial allies more than likely with darkskin family members so it’s easier for them to relate, but your better of expecting support from your fellow darkskins who can see colorism from the same lens as you an not one from a privileged stand point.
as white girl living in white country i never encountered any of these problems irl. This video was great and truly educational, and i agree with a comment saying: if bi-racial person isn´t considered white, it shouldn´t be considered black. (same goes for asian and other bi-racial)
It all stems from the 1 drop rule unfortunately. I think a lot of people that show disgruntlement about it don' t realise that it was something set up by "white" governments in order to set up a form of barrier between them and biracial people. So they made it so that once you add anything to white blood, it is no longer white. It stems from racism.
@Adam A. exactly !!! me having a white side and a black side, doesn't erase my blackness, I'm still black, I still face racism , I acknowledge my privilege and I fight for dark-skinned women and I want them to always shine...
@Adam A. you're half of each. it's that simple. the OP's point is that don't claim one side because you benefit from your other half (mostly for those who are half white + other)
@Adam A. In the majority of the history of humanity, we didn't really identified with both of our parents heritage but only one(mainly on the dad's side) so it's nothing new to only considering yourself as simply black or simply indian or whatever
I wasn't expecting any main stream youtuber to make a video about this but thank you for shedding light. I've been frustrated about this since it made it on Colours. Thank you, thank you.
I’m from the UK and when Enny and Jorja’s colors performance was posted on the blogs (on insta), all I saw from both men and women, were comments about how beautiful Jorja was etccc... Completely dismissed Enny and the lyrics of the song!! I didn’t even know that there was an original with another black girl 🥴
all jorja is really known for is her looks, not her music because she doesn't have musical talent. She is an industry plant fr, but most of the hip hop drake stans that fetishize her, dont know the damage she does cos they just wanna fuck and look at her insta.
It’s crazy that Black Womyn are always the only ones to embrace everyone but don’t ever get the same love in return. I be thinking that Black is just a default for folks to check an identity box/to be in the “black culture” rather than actually understanding their identity, blackness, and making positive improvements towards it.
I think people are confusing the Black race for Black culture/ethnicity. Because these biracial women know for damn sure they are not part of the Black race and they're taking up space in the Black community to be elevated due to their proximity to whiteness. Why must DSBW and unambigious Black women be erased to please the public? Everybody stay imitating Black women. Honestly all three women could have been on the track. It is ridiculous because white women and other races of women stay on code but Black women be caping and playing mule. Kmt
But if we are being honest it’s Ennys song. Amia was a feature just like Jorja. People do this all the time. Especially Nicki Minaj and different big artists.
As a mixed man this is definitely colorism, shit why couldn’t they both be on the track? Edit: Not y’all beefin in the comments! There’s too much division between mixed people and fully black people, this is exactly what the white man wants!
This is the reason people should stop classifying mixed race women as light skin. There are light skin women with two black parents. If one of your parents is NOT black then accept the term bi racial , nothing wrong with that.
@@s.houston3498 They are black. It just depends how much of each race you’re mixed with smh. They’re 75% black so they’re black. If they were like 33% white, 33% Native and 33% black, I’d call them mixed (I know it’s never exact like that but I’m just giving an example). Hope it makes sense
for me as a mixed girl i think this video is good for me and it educates me, because now i understand this topic better. i have always known that because i'm also half white i'm privileged and i'm thankful for the things that this world offers me but i also now because of this video i have seen that bw and mostly darkskin women have it so much worse than me and i want to be able to actually acknowledge that in life.
so this WHOLE time... you literally did not see it. no one who was a dsbw told you or you did see it but didn't acknowledge it??? I need specifics girly. the devil stay in them details!
@@FelicityGemini i was trying to say that i have always seen that bw and mostly dsbw have it worse then me but because i saw this video i understood the strugle more and more so yes i have acknowledged it before but i have never really thought about that they have it this bad so this video educated me and i wil do beter with acknowledging the fact that i need to step up for these bw and i need to be more thankful for my privilege
love and blessings to you. Altho mixed people will never identify with being white when they are not white passing, it doesn't mean that they dont have privilege.
Right, I saw it on IG the other day, and they only posted Jorja's part and saying how she was spitting facts. I didn't even knew that she was only a feature. They made it seem like it was her song, I was so unaware.
I don’t think the issue is ENNY and Jorja, I think it falls on the decision makers as Amia Brave stated. Jorja is a talented and well liked artist and I don’t think the song is poppin bc of how she looks, I think it’s bc of her fan base.
I don’t like how they kicked Amia Brave off the song when they could’ve just extended the length of the song if they really wanted Jorja Smith but instead they replaced her. Like Enny could’ve done the first verse, Amia the chorus, and Jorja could’ve done her remix verse. So they did erase her like that wasn’t the whole point of the song.
@@TM-kj9ib Hmmm. I’m a music management/industry major so that’s interesting... it’s crazy how they took her off the whole chorus tho like it was a verse.
just leaving out the original girl (amia) is messed up. I didn't find out that there was a remix with jorja until I asked Alexa to just play peng black girl. Bc Alexa automatically plays the remix not the original and that should tell enny something.
Enny is def not being honest in her response. She is riding the fence she wants to stay on the good side of her label and is enjoying the fact that the song took off while giving us a bs excuse to justify the dark skinned woman being replaced.
and that's the aspect I wish would come to light. it be men at the top making most of these decisions and I hate that black women always have to be blamed for it all either way
TBH blame the artist, why have her on the song when you know she doesn't represent it? It's titled: "Peng black girls" for a reason, the video is full of DSBW. Idk what either of these women were thinking , making this remix.
I think the label kind of pushed her into it, as well as Colours which has a history of colorism. But yeah, sometimes, it’s better to let your art grow organically which “Peng Black Girls » was doing, online, coz so many were identifying with it. Smith added nothing to it with her mediocre voice. The sound is about Black women, including light skin Black women who aren’t biracial/mixed. Enny is of Nigerian descent where you have light skin black women who are 100% black. My own mum is light skin by most standards but you sure AF know she’s black. Let alone when you see her parents.
@@yasminl8125 that’s what I’m saying. Everyone wants this to be addressed but she truly is just making music with her sis ENNY and people can’t just move on it they don’t like it.. trying to politicize a women NOT JUST A BW trying to just jam out with a FRIEND on the remix of a song they wrote and poured their heart into. Sad this is an issue.
@@yasminl8125 You are very pressed to be under so many comments trying to act nonchalant. Go listen to Jorja's verse while us black women discuss. Bye.
Which is a shame because there are full Black people that are lightskinned. Mixed folks are fair, medium, or tan. We dont see white people calling biracial people "dark-skinned white". Smdh let actual Black people represent Black people.
Exactly..that’s why I truly want to get in on some of the Afro inspired photoshoots representing all shades of black because there is always a super biracial girl and I’m like damn I’m full black, I can be the face for that shade without being mixed 😭
@@israeliana As a woman that's lightskin with two black parents, I agree with that because people assume that lightskin =mixed. Like did we all forget that slavery happened?
@@pandoraheartsvd are light skinned black people light skinned because of great ancestors who were white? I’m confused. Foreigners from countries like Nigeria look so dark when they come to the U.S
I just found your channel when I found this video. I also just heard of this song. I paused the video, opened Spotify and said “Peng black girl” and it went straight to the remix. So I understood the erasure thing... I didn’t even mention the remix
Of course their system is going to bring up the song with the more streams first. The original doesn't matter to them, they're going to show the more popular song.
@Karmyn And Movies that whole “why do you care you’re light skin” question is because they don’t want you calling it out because they want that colorism sh!t to continue. So basically they’re saying if it doesn’t negatively affect you, you shouldn’t be bothered by it. Some people or so full of sh!t. But they won’t have that same mentality when it comes to racism though. 😒🙄
Yes, I work with a BM Who is married to a DSW, and he told me she always prefers the LSW singers over the DSW... It's sad. He said, "I prefer Brandy over Monica," and my wife said, "why? Brandy is dark, Monica looks better because she's lighter." So sad to hear this. . .
@@CrazyBunniePanda He told you that?

Yesss!!! Some of my favorite dark skin artists are, Ari Lennox, Kash Doll, Kaash Paige, Deetranada, VanJess, Flo Milli, H.E.R, HoodCelebrityy, Keisha Shade`, Kodie Shane (she looks dark skin too me but y'all might disagree), Lizzo, Normani, Summer Walker, SZA, and Tierra Whack
The funny thing about this, is that she might be less than 50% black. Most black whether they are dark or not, may have some non-black in them due to slavery....most mixed-raced people, with one phenotypcial black parent are MORE white than black.

hey my somali sis. I agree with you 100% also, i'm kinda pissed off at Enny, how is she gonna Green light a non-black (mixed race) girl on a song called peng black girls. she's a tool in the erasure herself.
from a biracial woman: dsbw are too inclusive but it isn’t their fault. our society has brainwashed us to discredit, distespect and steal and take up spaces of blackness since slavery; and they’re just in the same system teaching it as us. same system, different effects of feelings. the same thing making light skins feel that entitlement towards ds is the same thing making ds women feel the need to be inclusive towards everybody. i get frustrated trying to tell people and exclusively be viewed as biracial because people think i DONT want to be identified as black. it is NOT that. i am not the representation of white, *nor should i be for black* i’m not full white im half, km not full black i’m half, i am my OWN RACE (if u wanna get technical with humanoids we could talk about how ethnicities like spanish start but i’m not gonna) anyway. when will people wake up and realize biracial being coined black is white peoples/systems way of trying to control/be part of and fetishizes blackness (because pure blackness is the most genetically evolved human, meaning we instinctually are more inclined to cater toward them). this has been happening since slavery wake up. edit: society has brainwashed us but demonic excuses for humans who excuse man made concepts around feelings of “pride, greed, ego” etc. they don’t want to lose their privileges because they are demons. i’m not coddling biracial and whites and other races. it is ultimately their choice and they are choosing to continue the system because they are not true humans; they are selfish demons who only care for themselves.
Whew, you said a whole word. And I whole heartedly agree and that part about “because pure blackness is the most genetically evolved human, meaning we instinctually are more inclined to cater to them” that went over some peoples heads but it was heard and felt by me 🙌🏾.

AND BY SOIRITUALITY I DO NOT MEAN MANMADE RELIGIONS MADE IN THE BODY OF ANOTHER HUMAN. notice who every people have, or have had, a recorded cultish mainstream book of belief based off a creation of themselves..

@@chidiogoikeh9516 thank you 🤎, my mission in this life is to help enable a world where this warrants no thank you because it is the norm. it’s unfortunate to say, but many light skin women (especially the ones with a bad ass attitude) are very mediocre, and suffer from their own insecurities; after all, subjectively we are so biased towards our own feelings typically. but a lot have issues, and like to use black women as comedic relief to take the attention off of them. they relate with black issues and their perception of colorism, featurism, texturism in compared to whiteness, but don’t realize that it’s stemming from the blackness. so if you’re experiencing that from 50%, common sense would enable you to understand 100% would = double, add feelings and perceptions because this has to do with concepts ass opposed to mathematics and now it’s a completely different reality and human experience, but many don’t, because we are selfish beings due to our leaders. do not cater to light skin women, just treat them how they treat u because a lot do have issues and even the ones who are nice and don’t, so much of this stuff is deep rooted and subconscious. it comes out in comments so keep a watchful eye. connotations always reveal the true meaning.
The original song is so good, I was so irritated when everyone was acting like this was Jorja's song or something. Her verse was good however, the song would've been just as amazing without her. ENNY and Amia deserve their credit as smaller artists and extremely talented black women.
This is colorism and disrespect to smaller artists at the same time. Intersectionality is a thing, people just don't want to listen to darkskin black women.
@@leilanidru7506 ...i believe BW are being vocal about it, it's the media that is fueling the problems. this is not going to stop until BP "secure" our own. the disrespect is real.
I remember Jorja did an interview about a year ago, she was asked about colorism. She literally laughed and said "People just love to hate on me, so idk", I was like GIRL WHAT?! They do not stand up for us, and it's a damn shame. If you want to get historical, yes we had the darkskin vs lightskin issue, HOWEVER, there were many white passing Blacks who purchased dark skin slaves so that they could free them. That solidarity has been lost!
Thats why I was so pissed she was featured on this song, because of that interview she did with Julie Adenuga, revealing her stance on colorism. Like come on man.

I remember a while ago, I was watching an interview of Jorja Smith and the interviewer brought up the topic of colorism, asking her of her role in it. She basically ignored the question and didn’t acknowledge her privilege. I never checked for her again since that.
@@talkswithali the thing is biracial people aren't light skinned they are mixed. Like there ain't dark-skinned white people. You either fair, medium, or tan if you biracial or mixed race cuz there are full Black people who are lightskinned, brownskinned, and dark-skinned.
We should as black women who started these trends and here comes every one from the sun using the dances we started ,trying to get our rhythm and our ryme and steal our culture every time.
Some biracial women do not want to give up their privilege in the black community. Those biracials might not have a black identity, but they won't tell you that.
@@jasminesmith1622 we’re talking about mixed people as a whole. when u talk about mixed people as a whole ur talking about dark skin mixed people to. y’all just think mixed is light skin with curly hair and blue eyes....
I’m dark skin but we allow them in our spaces. We coddle them just as much as black men and we somehow end up always defending them and coming to their rescue. I wish we would all just stop and be free in our spaces.
let me get this straight if you are biracial and have a black parent and another parent that is not black YOU👏🏾ARE👏🏾NOT👏🏾BLACK👏🏾 you are literally ignoring half of you e.g. saying ‘I am black’ when your father is white sounds crazy. THERE👏🏾IS👏🏾NOTING👏🏾WRONG👏🏾WITH👏🏾 SAYING👏🏾YOU👏🏾ARE👏🏾BIRACIAL👏🏾 it’s okay.
I'm Jamaican and biracial. Father black and mother indian. Please understand that everything is not simply black and white. Btw. No one could ever tell me I'm not a black woman.
What did your mother do that caused you to have such blatant hate for her, that caused you to want to shed all aspects of you that was of her ? Your poor mom. Imagine carrying a kid for 9 months, giving birth to them, just for them to not claim you.
Same sis... It's the same issue we keep seeing over and over and when we address the issue of colourism nobody listens to us... I am sooo done with the mainstream colorist media.
There's hope! My man KevonStage Studios has created a pro-black Netflix alternative app that is meant to replace Hollywood and give black creators their own unbiased platform. He's growing fast! You should consider getting the app. It's called KevonStage Studios.
Honestly i know it’s not their fault but i don’t know why ladies like Jorja Smith and Zendaya don’t make more space for dark skin women. They know fully well that colourism is so bad in their industries and have talked on it MULTIPLE times calling themselves the ‘acceptable’ black women of their industries. But i jus don’t see them doing nothing abt it. And if this was Jorjas attempt than it was hypocritical and ineffective. Not saying she needs to apologise but like a redo or something is needed.
@@laurettembabazi-mbaga3724 where r they. Not even being rude, where are they? There’s not much of an excuse for her playing full black women when she’s only mixed, and there’s always more to be done cos all i’ve heard is her speaking on colourism vaguely AND briefly
Right! I loved seeing all the dark skinned beauties and aunties in native attire. That alone was refreshing tbh, and to not see a single mixed girl. Literally thought the point of the song, based on the video too, was to shout out black women who are overlooked. meanwhile biracial women are hypervisible as is... Damn shame.
@@ClassyGyal had to rewatch the video and still I only saw light skinned black girls. Please put the time stamp. Jorja is mixed and definitely ambiguous looking.
Everyone just needs to make like South Africa and make biracial/mixed an actual race. It’s sad to watch this erasure of Black women. Can y’all stop coming under my comment with off topic/nonsensical responses. My comment wasn’t a question, I stated how I feel and that’s it. Don’t agree with it? Keep scrolling.
But that doesn’t help full black people...this occurs in Latin American and there’s still color-class hierarchy. If anything it would perpetuate colorism.
@Pheonyx Gaston I live in South Africa, yes there is colorism amongst black/colored community but there is absolutely no erasure of black women, no lack of representation and black women are the standard of beauty. So you’re wrong, it most definitely would do wonders for full black women.
Thank you for saying this!! It really irritated me when my non-Black friends & I were talking about the song & when I told them that it wasn’t Jorja’s song they were confused because they had only seen her on TikTok & not ENNY. ENNY deserves the praise for HER song! As well as this, I’m pissed that Amia is also not getting the recognition she deserves. I’m so glad I’m not the only one in thinking this; I thought I was being petty😩🙆🏾♀️
That's the thing about tiktok that pisses me off. Artists continue to not get credit for their songs and if they do, then they get the "tik tok song" label, which tends to water down some people's artistry.
@@mewmew6158 you got it, point blank. That’s one reason I don’t even have the damn app. You could even say it about Meg. Most of her songs blew up on TikTok & that’s unfortunately where a lot of people associated her from, even though she is bigger than that. Black people continually get side tracked & I’m sick of it.
@@porchmonkeypete9476 your telling a black woman to create her own platform(s) while being on a black channel yourself where we only talk about our black issues?? I could say the same to you. Go to a white channel then, You must be bored & wanted to come on here just to spew your nonsense.
🙋🏽♀️ I can. Any light skinned woman who denies that they get treated differently than a dark skinned black women is delusional. My mother is dark skinned and I remember all the stories she ever told me and yet I have never experienced them for myself. This is why I don’t date colorist black men or black men who date non-black women. I don’t even date outside my race. I tried it once. Wasnt a bad experience but I know if I ever get married I want a black husband.
Real talk. I'm a black man, I saw the colors joint first and I am new to both of the artists. But after I watched the colors session it made me want to go find more of ENNYs stuff. I found the original song and its just as fire. Jorja cannot replace the original singer. Amia makes the first video and has her visuals locked in history. And Enny has so much skill it's impossible to look past her. Out of respect the Amia should be brought back in. The song is about a bunch of black females with different skin tones. Let's not create division where none is needed. The song bangs hard and the women are top notch artists. Keep up the work sistahs.
i’m sorry but being biracial & having a white mom is another group. biracials with black mothers usually aren’t nearly as self-serving UNLESS that mother has some self-hate issues
I feel like it stems into this idea that ‘talent is for the beautiful’, and it’s often towards Eurocentric standards of beauty, which is totally wrong and unfair. And people like to scream black is beautiful, but the question is .... ‘is black beautiful’ or ‘a certain type of black is beautiful’. SMH things need to change 🤦🏾♀️
@@liawatson5789 People don’t pay attention to people’s talents unless they fit society’s expectations of “beauty”. Take Ariana Grande and Susan Boyle for example.
The ONLY reason why she is a “bigger artist” and the song with viral is simply because she’s light skinned, it’s the only reason why drake picked her up to begin with.🙄
Hoodie Beatz let’s be honest. SHE CANT SING FOR HER DEAR LIFE. Only gets hyped because of her skin tone. She’s no Beyoncé or Brandi. I can literally sing the same way as her! Not even joking.
Not going to lie when I heard the song, I was like yesssss love the message but I felt uncomfortable at the end and I could not understand why. I still felt like there was a disconnect in what i heard vs what I saw. The black woman (especially our darker melanated queens) is always leveraged in a very subtle way and often times it’s so subtly done it goes over our heads. It’s by the world, our own community and I asked myself the question, “can we address the divide by just saying there are different shades of black to spark unity when the reality is the divide exists bc of the obvious tiered placements of the black shades in society”. Enny tried to address something that she clearly didn’t think all the way through and it’s sad she doesn’t get that.
There's so much to say about this Eloho, and you're such an inspiration for doing the hard work of starting a conversation/forum like this for TH-cam audiences. As a mixed race, Canadian woman who's family is from the Caribbean, I think that race is more polarizing in America especially compared to Canada or the UK. It's unfortunate that due to the extreme racial inequalities, it's so much harder for black women especially, who are consistently ignored and deemed irrevelant by the larger white society. It's insidious, and something to be mindful of not replicating. Coming from a racially fluid place, like the Caribbean, and a more tolerant city, like Toronto, I dont have the same relationship to race- if we agree to colonial, superficial standards of where the line of blackness begins and ends, we are agreeing to be divided as a group of black people according to the lines colonialist have drawn- I think we can be a true rich, tolerant tapestry, that doesn't create borders based on superficial constructs. I can only speak for myself, and although I am part Indian I have always felt mostly black because of the ignorance of society's understanding of race. I have felt marginalized as a black woman, and I understand what that can do to someone; I feel warmth and love and solidarity with black people, (and people in general), and I agree with Enny that that experience cannot be negated based on my skin colour, because we should not turn around and oppress/exclude other people as we were oppressed, especially when we have a shared experience. There is also the larger problem of the modern simplification of race, and whiteness and blackness, (especially in America); they are short cuts to consolidate a lot of unknowns regarding family trees and migration, and people in general don't have to agree to these limitations. As for the artists, they don't have as much control over these decisions, so the real question is about for me is about the decision Colours and the label came to to remove the beautiful Amia, and unfortunately I think it comes down to both marketing and label representation. I think having 3 of them, Amia in the middle perhaps, would have been visually amazing, but I think unfortunately there is a bias against too much representation at one time. So, I think as people of colour, we need to create the situations to see change by starting our own labels, and becoming the people who make those decisions. And most importantly by speaking with our likes and views. The most crucial thing is that while it is easy to return the hate we receive, we should not agree to do this according to super imposed colour lines. Race or colour has never a barrier to me forming bonds with other black women, dark or light, and it would be so alienating to add black that to the list of communities that don't accept me based on superficial reasons. It's important to call these things out, and make change, but it is also to important to lead with positivity, and not tear ourselves down from within. The black diaspora is a generous inclusive space, and the larger world can be as well. We don't have to agree to be in super imposed silos. It would be fantastic if Enny, Amia, and Jorja did their own remix apart from colours and put it up. Of course they'd have to really feel it, because they all seem like generous artists who wouldn't do something they're not invested in. I would love for them to even chat about this with us, their fans- this topic makes for a rich discussion for sure.
Im tired of people grouping light skin black women with light skin mixed women. That's getting old and always annoyed me too. One is black and one is both, black and white (whatever else). A subculture to blackness.
I'm kinda tired of this conversation. As a biracial woman, it annoys me to no end to see clearly mixed looking people still identifying as black. It also pisses me off that so many black people are fighting on our behalf for our right to identify as black. Everyone, say it with me: 🗣️MIXED AND BIRACIAL IS NOT A SLUR 🗣️
As a mixed biracial this annoyed me because in the UK we don’t follow the one drop rule. We *typically* are called and perceived as “mixedrace” 80% of the time so i don’t understand why they put a visibly mixed-girl in and undermined their message and (corrective) promotion. And yh it’s weird how Black and mixed americans act like calling a spade a spade is a slur lol. *Mixed and biracial is not a slur* 🗣🗣🗣
Why they try to tell us that we have to accept mixed girls as one of us? No other race does, so why we the scapegoat?. they truly need their own spaces. Biracials👏🏾are👏🏾not👏🏾us. Feel how you feel abt that, cause we feel how we feel abt it
we’re not white enough to be white but we’re not black enough to be black ?? this literally creates more divide and is a very toxic mindset to have. yes us biracial people have privllage but we will never be accepted by white people. we’re still viewed as “black”. i don’t understand why we’re dividing within our own race. we should be coming together not ripping eachother apart it’s litteraly toxic. we should all be standing together as a whole not dividing. as long as us biracial people undertand our privlage we have, and aren’t colorist, there is no problem. black girls come in all shades🤝some of us have more privlage then others based off the color of our skin, but as long as we uphold that, there shouldn’t be any sort of division. i undertand where your coming from but it’s litteraly making things worse for the black community as a whole. we’re focusing on the wrong things here.
@@lexi.s1678 There is nothing wrong with identifying as biracial. Society has made it the standard for mixed people to be considered as black entirely, which is wrong. Mixed people are that, mixed. There aren’t many spaces for biracial people only, but at the same time, the space for black people is not the place for mixed people. Does that make sense? There should be more recognition of being MIXED, instead of black or white. Just my personal viewpoint, but I understand your point about not being ‘enough’.
@@lexi.s1678 I'll never except Biracials as equal to fully _black_ women&girls; alot of us feel that way. we don't have to explain it we tired. Don't share the same experiences &it is what it is.

Queen you are absolutely right in all your points. The music industry is a crooked industry & they know exactly what they are doing. This is an Anthem to all of our Queens & the industry know exactly how to cause division amongst our people. I believe it was done intentionally not by the these Beautiful artists BUT by those in charge. All they think about is the Money. Enny is a straight up Queen and I pray to the Most High Yah that Enny will not allow the music industry to change her. Regardless of Jorga being mixed she belongs to us and she is our Queen. We can't allow the higher ups or the people above divide our people and treat any of our Queens as an outcast. I loved the video the video with Amia in it and to see our culture was a beautiful thing to see. Thank you for your breakdown on the situation. Much Love and Respect to all of our Queens. You are the standard of beauty. All shades of beauty. Shalom!!!
This same argument could be said about British black actors replacing American actors especially when you said" let me jump on not let me replace." That's exactly the frustration Black Americans have with Hollywood blatantly replacing us. I hear what you are saying in this conversation and I agree 100% I wish we could generalize this thinking for other issues in our community and not call the people who bring up erasure, divisive!!!!!! whether it's dark-skinned black women or Black Americans.

On instgram people were listing black actors they wanted to see play Miles Morales (Spider-Man) and people really said “but he’s mixed”. .....so it’s okay for mixed people to play black characters but black people cant play mixed characters. Interesting....
LOL Miles is dark as hell in his own comic books. He was inspired by Obama but the writers made him look fully black in the comics. Childish Gambino campaigned to play the character for years and marvel started emulating the character after him. He even voiced the character in ultimate spiderman. Besides Puerto Rican or Hispanic is not a race but a location and culture.
@@markeyap2537 right, but they’re saying that Biracial and mixed people play fully black characters all the time. Biracial’s play characters with two black parents all the time and they’re fine with that. But when it comes to fully black people playing biracial or mixed characters THEN it’s a valid problem.
Maybe because she’s the most famous one out off the two artists? I mean idk plus the part of the song that went viral was jorja’s so it also explains why people kept her in mind and not ENNY
Yes it is. Let's not be obtuse.No one is saying her popularity is not a factor but colour ism also is. Personally Idek who Jorja is lol and I haven't heard any of her songs. She's not That popular . A lot people hype her mainly cuz of her looks too so let's not pretend that's not a factor in why she gets clicks .
Two things can be true at once!!! Mixed/light skinned people ARE black and mixed/light skinned people need to do more to educate themselves and take action against colorism.
I understand this was made to be “art” but we as Black people have to be aware of how our actions affect everyone. Dark skinned women have been historically left out and looked down upon. With Amia being left out we need to recognize the impact. The impact is more important than the intent.
Yes!!
But it was a remix.. remix’s are normally different from the original. So Amia wasn’t left out.
@@mazal9895 Amia was definitely left out. An extra verse from a new artist is typically what makes a song a remix, not the complete removal of the original singer of the main chorus. What other songs have been remixed like that?

Alienating bi racial people is pitiful and speaks on how insecure you must be to do such a thing. Black people come in many different shades this Is going too far . Yes you are not fully black if you’re mixed but the black dna is stronger than white so ultimately it shows more in your makeup than the white, regardless you black.

@ONLY 4C A E S T H E T I C you’re using two examples of what it looks like to be mixed, but many still look black , you don’t just have to look black to be black that’s like saying “hey I’m Puerto Rican but I look white so imma just erase my Puerto Rican and call myself white” because many do look white. Same for native Americans that look Hispanic , do they just call themselves Hispanic cause that’s what they look like? No that’s retarded. Being black is more than just looks it’s your culture and you all seem to have forgotten that.
The piece about solidarity is 100% facts. As a light skin, a lot of light skin women need to truly get over themselves. You can’t claim blackness when it benefits you and then act like you’re superior to darker skinned women because being mixed and light skin is fetishized. That shit is trifling, and I’m glad more people are calling it out.
@@alliance8452 it’s the same mentality white people have when you call them out on all lives matter bs some light skins don’t want to admit they have privileges from colorism because they feel like it diminishes their blackness.

@@MA-rw3ec thank you! You can acknowledge the privileges that come with being mixed while still keeping in touch with your black culture.
As a racially ambiguous biracial girl (Latina Asian) I recognize that while there have been challenges that come with being biracial, I am also very privileged. Growing up in a mainly white and Asian area I wasn’t considered as pretty as fully white or fully Asian girls. But I was considered a socially acceptable version of a WOC and managed to avoid more overt forms of racism that darker skinned, unambiguous women face.
THIS!! they only claim it when it benefits them! Black women have so much power, everyone takes from us. The amount of people I have helped and they're silent when I needed them taught me so much, I just wish black women stopped caring for, teaching and helping everyone.

I can name you quite a few dark skin black men that are constantly in the mass media, but only Lupita when it comes to dark skin black women constantly in the mass media. It’s like the world only allows one dark skin woman to trend per decade.
We have to check the reasons why they get their time in the light. Unfortunately, the racist ideas that black equals more aggressive, masculine, etc. can contribute to why black men are more visible, even if for the wrong reasons. We’ve got to keep it all in perspective.
Also, what I forgot to add is, something similar happened with the song B.S by, Jhene Aiko and H.E.R. When Khelani got on the song, they removed H.E.R

Similar to white people, they like the privilege they receive from being lighter skinned and instead of addressing the privilege they have they like to ignore it.

Why do we do this to ourselves
Rebecca I swear some of those accounts have to be fake because some of this crap is so obvious and whatever rock they live under or ignorance they choose to have over it, they are the ones getting screwed in the end and it’s sooooo obvious. it happens in asian countries too, just as much and more blatant so what could it be? do they think that if they play along with the destructive some how they’ll look good?
Realistically you cannot keep depending on light skin and biracials to come to your aid when it comes to colorism, majority of us understand that you guys suffer from it but there are some light skins and biracials who just cannot relate since we benefit from it an do not see it as our fight 🤷🏽♀️. They’re are light skin an biracial allies more than likely with darkskin family members so it’s easier for them to relate, but your better of expecting support from your fellow darkskins who can see colorism from the same lens as you an not one from a privileged stand point.
as white girl living in white country i never encountered any of these problems irl. This video was great and truly educational, and i agree with a comment saying: if bi-racial person isn´t considered white, it shouldn´t be considered black. (same goes for asian and other bi-racial)
It all stems from the 1 drop rule unfortunately. I think a lot of people that show disgruntlement about it don' t realise that it was something set up by "white" governments in order to set up a form of barrier between them and biracial people. So they made it so that once you add anything to white blood, it is no longer white. It stems from racism.
Exactly!! Thaaaank you!!!
@Adam A. exactly !!! me having a white side and a black side, doesn't erase my blackness, I'm still black, I still face racism , I acknowledge my privilege and I fight for dark-skinned women and I want them to always shine...
@Adam A. you're half of each. it's that simple. the OP's point is that don't claim one side because you benefit from your other half (mostly for those who are half white + other)
@Adam A. In the majority of the history of humanity, we didn't really identified with both of our parents heritage but only one(mainly on the dad's side) so it's nothing new to only considering yourself as simply black or simply indian or whatever
I wasn't expecting any main stream youtuber to make a video about this but thank you for shedding light. I've been frustrated about this since it made it on Colours. Thank you, thank you.
The original is far more brilliant than the remix tbh.

@Chloe Styles But guess what....just guess.
🌈Nobody cares🌈
@Chloe Styles 🤦🏾♀️
I’m from the UK and when Enny and Jorja’s colors performance was posted on the blogs (on insta), all I saw from both men and women, were comments about how beautiful Jorja was etccc... Completely dismissed Enny and the lyrics of the song!! I didn’t even know that there was an original with another black girl 🥴
Lies
In my opinion the original is so much better. Enny’s second verse is my favorite, the one jorja replaces.
all jorja is really known for is her looks, not her music because she doesn't have musical talent. She is an industry plant fr, but most of the hip hop drake stans that fetishize her, dont know the damage she does cos they just wanna fuck and look at her insta.
Becky Boo yes she does is that why he remix has way more than the original your very stupid
Jorja ass crazy tho 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
It’s crazy that Black Womyn are always the only ones to embrace everyone but don’t ever get the same love in return. I be thinking that Black is just a default for folks to check an identity box/to be in the “black culture” rather than actually understanding their identity, blackness, and making positive improvements towards it.
Perfectly well said.
I think people are confusing the Black race for Black culture/ethnicity. Because these biracial women know for damn sure they are not part of the Black race and they're taking up space in the Black community to be elevated due to their proximity to whiteness. Why must DSBW and unambigious Black women be erased to please the public? Everybody stay imitating Black women.
Honestly all three women could have been on the track. It is ridiculous because white women and other races of women stay on code but Black women be caping and playing mule. Kmt
Its not just BW sweetie its all of our people across the Globe

I don’t think the issue is ENNY and Jorja, I think it falls on the decision makers as Amia Brave stated. Jorja is a talented and well liked artist and I don’t think the song is poppin bc of how she looks, I think it’s bc of her fan base.

You're obviously clueless. Shine your eyes babe.
I don’t like how they kicked Amia Brave off the song when they could’ve just extended the length of the song if they really wanted Jorja Smith but instead they replaced her. Like Enny could’ve done the first verse, Amia the chorus, and Jorja could’ve done her remix verse. So they did erase her like that wasn’t the whole point of the song.
I’m from the uk and typically (within uk music) when a remix is done, the artist that is featured on the original song isn’t included on the remix.
Yeah i do think they should have just added Jorja instead of replacing Amia but 🤷🏿♀️
@@TM-kj9ib Hmmm. I’m a music management/industry major so that’s interesting... it’s crazy how they took her off the whole chorus tho like it was a verse.
@Chloe Styles Yeah but I’m talking about how she wasn’t included in the remix that’s what I meant to say.
@Rae Golden100 yeah fr I agree. There’s so many songs with a lot of artist on it for remixes in the U.S. lol.
just leaving out the original girl (amia) is messed up. I didn't find out that there was a remix with jorja until I asked Alexa to just play peng black girl. Bc Alexa automatically plays the remix not the original and that should tell enny something.
Enny is def not being honest in her response. She is riding the fence she wants to stay on the good side of her label and is enjoying the fact that the song took off while giving us a bs excuse to justify the dark skinned woman being replaced.
Imagine writing a song and then doing the very thing the song is based on... she can’t be that dumb, she just sold out for exposure and profit
I agree. She knows it’s wrong but she’s blowing up because of the song. It’s crazy how money and fame can make people forget their values
@@teniseuna That part! Make it make sense.
she will get replaced herself
and that's the aspect I wish would come to light. it be men at the top making most of these decisions and I hate that black women always have to be blamed for it all either way
TBH blame the artist, why have her on the song when you know she doesn't represent it? It's titled: "Peng black girls" for a reason, the video is full of DSBW. Idk what either of these women were thinking , making this remix.
I think the label kind of pushed her into it, as well as Colours which has a history of colorism.
But yeah, sometimes, it’s better to let your art grow organically which “Peng Black Girls » was doing, online, coz so many were identifying with it.
Smith added nothing to it with her mediocre voice.
The sound is about Black women, including light skin Black women who aren’t biracial/mixed.
Enny is of Nigerian descent where you have light skin black women who are 100% black. My own mum is light skin by most standards but you sure AF know she’s black. Let alone when you see her parents.
I think the song got more exposure because of jorja since she’s the bigger artist but I love the first version

If Jorja wanted to collaborate with me I would, it boosted her majorly I understand why she had her on the song

Of course their system is going to bring up the song with the more streams first. The original doesn't matter to them, they're going to show the more popular song.
@Karmyn And Movies that whole “why do you care you’re light skin” question is because they don’t want you calling it out because they want that colorism sh!t to continue. So basically they’re saying if it doesn’t negatively affect you, you shouldn’t be bothered by it. Some people or so full of sh!t. But they won’t have that same mentality when it comes to racism though. 😒🙄

from a biracial woman: dsbw are too inclusive but it isn’t their fault. our society has brainwashed us to discredit, distespect and steal and take up spaces of blackness since slavery; and they’re just in the same system teaching it as us. same system, different effects of feelings. the same thing making light skins feel that entitlement towards ds is the same thing making ds women feel the need to be inclusive towards everybody. i get frustrated trying to tell people and exclusively be viewed as biracial because people think i DONT want to be identified as black. it is NOT that. i am not the representation of white, *nor should i be for black* i’m not full white im half, km not full black i’m half, i am my OWN RACE (if u wanna get technical with humanoids we could talk about how ethnicities like spanish start but i’m not gonna) anyway. when will people wake up and realize biracial being coined black is white peoples/systems way of trying to control/be part of and fetishizes blackness (because pure blackness is the most genetically evolved human, meaning we instinctually are more inclined to cater toward them). this has been happening since slavery wake up.
edit: society has brainwashed us but demonic excuses for humans who excuse man made concepts around feelings of “pride, greed, ego” etc. they don’t want to lose their privileges because they are demons. i’m not coddling biracial and whites and other races. it is ultimately their choice and they are choosing to continue the system because they are not true humans; they are selfish demons who only care for themselves.

@@chidiogoikeh9516 thank you 🤎, my mission in this life is to help enable a world where this warrants no thank you because it is the norm. it’s unfortunate to say, but many light skin women (especially the ones with a bad ass attitude) are very mediocre, and suffer from their own insecurities; after all, subjectively we are so biased towards our own feelings typically. but a lot have issues, and like to use black women as comedic relief to take the attention off of them. they relate with black issues and their perception of colorism, featurism, texturism in compared to whiteness, but don’t realize that it’s stemming from the blackness. so if you’re experiencing that from 50%, common sense would enable you to understand 100% would = double, add feelings and perceptions because this has to do with concepts ass opposed to mathematics and now it’s a completely different reality and human experience, but many don’t, because we are selfish beings due to our leaders. do not cater to light skin women, just treat them how they treat u because a lot do have issues and even the ones who are nice and don’t, so much of this stuff is deep rooted and subconscious. it comes out in comments so keep a watchful eye. connotations always reveal the true meaning.

Some biracial women do not want to give up their privilege in the black community. Those biracials might not have a black identity, but they won't tell you that.

I’m dark skin but we allow them in our spaces. We coddle them just as much as black men and we somehow end up always defending them and coming to their rescue. I wish we would all just stop and be free in our spaces.

What did your mother do that caused you to have such blatant hate for her, that caused you to want to shed all aspects of you that was of her ? Your poor mom. Imagine carrying a kid for 9 months, giving birth to them, just for them to not claim you.
Colorisim ain’t never gon stop, and da media ain’t never gon give us a chance to shine, I gave tf up🙄

There's hope! My man KevonStage Studios has created a pro-black Netflix alternative app that is meant to replace Hollywood and give black creators their own unbiased platform. He's growing fast! You should consider getting the app. It's called KevonStage Studios.
It's the UK, where there plenty of colorism and racism. What do you expect?
What does comment do? What is it meant to contribute to the conversation 😭
Honestly i know it’s not their fault but i don’t know why ladies like Jorja Smith and Zendaya don’t make more space for dark skin women. They know fully well that colourism is so bad in their industries and have talked on it MULTIPLE times calling themselves the ‘acceptable’ black women of their industries. But i jus don’t see them doing nothing abt it. And if this was Jorjas attempt than it was hypocritical and ineffective. Not saying she needs to apologise but like a redo or something is needed.
Uuum don't come for Zendaya. I get your point but she is def not like that Jorja girl. Receipts are available.
@@laurettembabazi-mbaga3724 SMH SMH.
Nah Zendaya is a true ally
Cause at the end of the day nobody wants to mess with their bag, not even Enny.
@@laurettembabazi-mbaga3724 where r they. Not even being rude, where are they? There’s not much of an excuse for her playing full black women when she’s only mixed, and there’s always more to be done cos all i’ve heard is her speaking on colourism vaguely AND briefly
Lmaooo not a single girl looking like Jorja was in the original music video
Right! I loved seeing all the dark skinned beauties and aunties in native attire. That alone was refreshing tbh, and to not see a single mixed girl. Literally thought the point of the song, based on the video too, was to shout out black women who are overlooked. meanwhile biracial women are hypervisible as is... Damn shame.
Jorja had the best part
There was, you just didn't look hard enough. Mixed race or light skinned black girl with curly hair in the circle on the grass👀👀👀
@@ClassyGyal had to rewatch the video and still I only saw light skinned black girls. Please put the time stamp. Jorja is mixed and definitely ambiguous looking.
@@safe2738 look again 0:16 100% mixed race.
Everyone just needs to make like South Africa and make biracial/mixed an actual race. It’s sad to watch this erasure of Black women.
Can y’all stop coming under my comment with off topic/nonsensical responses. My comment wasn’t a question, I stated how I feel and that’s it. Don’t agree with it? Keep scrolling.
Exactly that needs to happen and I think it will happen soon.
for real ! the fact black Americans are really hold on to this rule is sickening
In England, mixed race is the their own category. But now they seem to be implementing American politics
But that doesn’t help full black people...this occurs in Latin American and there’s still color-class hierarchy. If anything it would perpetuate colorism.
@Pheonyx Gaston I live in South Africa, yes there is colorism amongst black/colored community but there is absolutely no erasure of black women, no lack of representation and black women are the standard of beauty. So you’re wrong, it most definitely would do wonders for full black women.
Y couldn't they both be on?
Thank you for saying this!! It really irritated me when my non-Black friends & I were talking about the song & when I told them that it wasn’t Jorja’s song they were confused because they had only seen her on TikTok & not ENNY. ENNY deserves the praise for HER song! As well as this, I’m pissed that Amia is also not getting the recognition she deserves. I’m so glad I’m not the only one in thinking this; I thought I was being petty😩🙆🏾♀️
That's the thing about tiktok that pisses me off. Artists continue to not get credit for their songs and if they do, then they get the "tik tok song" label, which tends to water down some people's artistry.
@@mewmew6158 you got it, point blank. That’s one reason I don’t even have the damn app. You could even say it about Meg. Most of her songs blew up on TikTok & that’s unfortunately where a lot of people associated her from, even though she is bigger than that. Black people continually get side tracked & I’m sick of it.
@@porchmonkeypete9476 your telling a black woman to create her own platform(s) while being on a black channel yourself where we only talk about our black issues?? I could say the same to you. Go to a white channel then, You must be bored & wanted to come on here just to spew your nonsense.
@@kentuckycriedfricken_ thank you for this💞
@@rengalicious your welcome ❤️❤️ It burns me up how they infiltrate our spaces and talk crazy. Nope I’m calling it out every time lol
Honestly speaking. How many of you LSBW / Biracial women can admit that you have privilege?
(Biracial teen) Me🙋🏽♀️
🙋🏽♀️ absolutely. (LSBW)
Yup! 👏🏼
🙋🏽♀️ I can. Any light skinned woman who denies that they get treated differently than a dark skinned black women is delusional. My mother is dark skinned and I remember all the stories she ever told me and yet I have never experienced them for myself. This is why I don’t date colorist black men or black men who date non-black women. I don’t even date outside my race. I tried it once. Wasnt a bad experience but I know if I ever get married I want a black husband.
So my next question is should LSBW/Biracial women fully take on the role of standing up for DSBW?
Real talk. I'm a black man, I saw the colors joint first and I am new to both of the artists. But after I watched the colors session it made me want to go find more of ENNYs stuff. I found the original song and its just as fire. Jorja cannot replace the original singer. Amia makes the first video and has her visuals locked in history. And Enny has so much skill it's impossible to look past her. Out of respect the Amia should be brought back in. The song is about a bunch of black females with different skin tones. Let's not create division where none is needed. The song bangs hard and the women are top notch artists. Keep up the work sistahs.
I was saying this when I saw the Colors remix video views were so high. It's a subconscious thing at the point people associate beauty with tone 🙄🙄
Chile...🇬🇧why am I not surprised ...English mother.🤷🏾♀️ --BIRACIAL IS ITS OWN GROUP!
STOP THE ONE DROP RULE!
I understand white passing biracial people being included in that. But I am still visibly black despite my proximity to whiteness

I feel like it stems into this idea that ‘talent is for the beautiful’, and it’s often towards Eurocentric standards of beauty, which is totally wrong and unfair. And people like to scream black is beautiful, but the question is .... ‘is black beautiful’ or ‘a certain type of black is beautiful’. SMH things need to change 🤦🏾♀️
'talent is for the beautiful’ That's an interesting phrase. What does it mean?
@@liawatson5789 People don’t pay attention to people’s talents unless they fit society’s expectations of “beauty”. Take Ariana Grande and Susan Boyle for example.
@@bisolasoutlet9371 okay thxs
@@bisolasoutlet9371 your on point 🎯
The ONLY reason why she is a “bigger artist” and the song with viral is simply because she’s light skinned, it’s the only reason why drake picked her up to begin with.🙄
Hoodie Beatz let’s be honest. SHE CANT SING FOR HER DEAR LIFE. Only gets hyped because of her skin tone. She’s no Beyoncé or Brandi. I can literally sing the same way as her! Not even joking.
@@zamorapetals7996 She can sing. Just because she isn’t Bey or Brandy doesn’t mean she can’t sing. If you can sing as well go start your own career.
Her voice is mediocre compared to Ray BLK. I think Mahalia deserves her spot tho, she has very good music and vocals. Jorja is overrated.
Don't have to drag someone down to big someone else up. The original artist can still bang without you having to call into question Jorja
Bee you’re in denial my friend. SHE CANNOT SING!!! There’s no tone in her voice. No melody. Nothing. THATS MY OWN BLOODCLART OPINION
Unpopular opinion: Eloho should’ve been on the remix😂
Not going to lie when I heard the song, I was like yesssss love the message but I felt uncomfortable at the end and I could not understand why. I still felt like there was a disconnect in what i heard vs what I saw. The black woman (especially our darker melanated queens) is always leveraged in a very subtle way and often times it’s so subtly done it goes over our heads. It’s by the world, our own community and I asked myself the question, “can we address the divide by just saying there are different shades of black to spark unity when the reality is the divide exists bc of the obvious tiered placements of the black shades in society”. Enny tried to address something that she clearly didn’t think all the way through and it’s sad she doesn’t get that.
There's so much to say about this Eloho, and you're such an inspiration for doing the hard work of starting a conversation/forum like this for TH-cam audiences.
As a mixed race, Canadian woman who's family is from the Caribbean, I think that race is more polarizing in America especially compared to Canada or the UK. It's unfortunate that due to the extreme racial inequalities, it's so much harder for black women especially, who are consistently ignored and deemed irrevelant by the larger white society. It's insidious, and something to be mindful of not replicating. Coming from a racially fluid place, like the Caribbean, and a more tolerant city, like Toronto, I dont have the same relationship to race- if we agree to colonial, superficial standards of where the line of blackness begins and ends, we are agreeing to be divided as a group of black people according to the lines colonialist have drawn- I think we can be a true rich, tolerant tapestry, that doesn't create borders based on superficial constructs. I can only speak for myself, and although I am part Indian I have always felt mostly black because of the ignorance of society's understanding of race. I have felt marginalized as a black woman, and I understand what that can do to someone; I feel warmth and love and solidarity with black people, (and people in general), and I agree with Enny that that experience cannot be negated based on my skin colour, because we should not turn around and oppress/exclude other people as we were oppressed, especially when we have a shared experience. There is also the larger problem of the modern simplification of race, and whiteness and blackness, (especially in America); they are short cuts to consolidate a lot of unknowns regarding family trees and migration, and people in general don't have to agree to these limitations.
As for the artists, they don't have as much control over these decisions, so the real question is about for me is about the decision Colours and the label came to to remove the beautiful Amia, and unfortunately I think it comes down to both marketing and label representation. I think having 3 of them, Amia in the middle perhaps, would have been visually amazing, but I think unfortunately there is a bias against too much representation at one time. So, I think as people of colour, we need to create the situations to see change by starting our own labels, and becoming the people who make those decisions. And most importantly by speaking with our likes and views.
The most crucial thing is that while it is easy to return the hate we receive, we should not agree to do this according to super imposed colour lines. Race or colour has never a barrier to me forming bonds with other black women, dark or light, and it would be so alienating to add black that to the list of communities that don't accept me based on superficial reasons.
It's important to call these things out, and make change, but it is also to important to lead with positivity, and not tear ourselves down from within. The black diaspora is a generous inclusive space, and the larger world can be as well. We don't have to agree to be in super imposed silos.
It would be fantastic if Enny, Amia, and Jorja did their own remix apart from colours and put it up. Of course they'd have to really feel it, because they all seem like generous artists who wouldn't do something they're not invested in. I would love for them to even chat about this with us, their fans- this topic makes for a rich discussion for sure.
Take off the capes for biracial women!
Agree. They are Biracial they should have there own designation just like Black or White.
I need this on a t shirt as well
Yessssss 💯💯💯💯💯
Im tired of people grouping light skin black women with light skin mixed women. That's getting old and always annoyed me too. One is black and one is both, black and white (whatever else). A subculture to blackness.
I'm kinda tired of this conversation. As a biracial woman, it annoys me to no end to see clearly mixed looking people still identifying as black. It also pisses me off that so many black people are fighting on our behalf for our right to identify as black.
Everyone, say it with me: 🗣️MIXED AND BIRACIAL IS NOT A SLUR 🗣️
As a mixed biracial this annoyed me because in the UK we don’t follow the one drop rule. We *typically* are called and perceived as “mixedrace” 80% of the time so i don’t understand why they put a visibly mixed-girl in and undermined their message and (corrective) promotion.
And yh it’s weird how Black and mixed americans act like calling a spade a spade is a slur lol. *Mixed and biracial is not a slur* 🗣🗣🗣
I agree with Eloho she is speaking truth
Why they try to tell us that we have to accept mixed girls as one of us? No other race does, so why we the scapegoat?. they truly need their own spaces. Biracials👏🏾are👏🏾not👏🏾us. Feel how you feel abt that, cause we feel how we feel abt it
we’re not white enough to be white but we’re not black enough to be black ?? this literally creates more divide and is a very toxic mindset to have. yes us biracial people have privllage but we will never be accepted by white people. we’re still viewed as “black”. i don’t understand why we’re dividing within our own race. we should be coming together not ripping eachother apart it’s litteraly toxic. we should all be standing together as a whole not dividing. as long as us biracial people undertand our privlage we have, and aren’t colorist, there is no problem. black girls come in all shades🤝some of us have more privlage then others based off the color of our skin, but as long as we uphold that, there shouldn’t be any sort of division. i undertand where your coming from but it’s litteraly making things worse for the black community as a whole. we’re focusing on the wrong things here.
@@lexi.s1678 There is nothing wrong with identifying as biracial. Society has made it the standard for mixed people to be considered as black entirely, which is wrong. Mixed people are that, mixed. There aren’t many spaces for biracial people only, but at the same time, the space for black people is not the place for mixed people. Does that make sense? There should be more recognition of being MIXED, instead of black or white. Just my personal viewpoint, but I understand your point about not being ‘enough’.
@@lexi.s1678 I'll never except Biracials as equal to fully _black_ women&girls; alot of us feel that way. we don't have to explain it we tired. Don't share the same experiences &it is what it is.

Been watching your videos for a while now loveee your videos love from London
❤️ thank you ❤️ I miss London
Queen you are absolutely right in all your points. The music industry is a crooked industry & they know exactly what they are doing. This is an Anthem to all of our Queens & the industry know exactly how to cause division amongst our people. I believe it was done intentionally not by the these Beautiful artists BUT by those in charge. All they think about is the Money. Enny is a straight up Queen and I pray to the Most High Yah that Enny will not allow the music industry to change her. Regardless of Jorga being mixed she belongs to us and she is our Queen. We can't allow the higher ups or the people above divide our people and treat any of our Queens as an outcast. I loved the video the video with Amia in it and to see our culture was a beautiful thing to see. Thank you for your breakdown on the situation. Much Love and Respect to all of our Queens. You are the standard of beauty. All shades of beauty. Shalom!!!
Is anyone still surprised by this? Not I.
This same argument could be said about British black actors replacing American actors especially when you said" let me jump on not let me replace." That's exactly the frustration Black Americans have with Hollywood blatantly replacing us. I hear what you are saying in this conversation and I agree 100% I wish we could generalize this thinking for other issues in our community and not call the people who bring up erasure, divisive!!!!!! whether it's dark-skinned black women or Black Americans.

On instgram people were listing black actors they wanted to see play Miles Morales (Spider-Man) and people really said “but he’s mixed”. .....so it’s okay for mixed people to play black characters but black people cant play mixed characters. Interesting....
LOL Miles is dark as hell in his own comic books. He was inspired by Obama but the writers made him look fully black in the comics. Childish Gambino campaigned to play the character for years and marvel started emulating the character after him. He even voiced the character in ultimate spiderman.
Besides Puerto Rican or Hispanic is not a race but a location and culture.
