PLEASE FORGIVE THE BLURRY VIDEO!
Is it blurry? I think my eyesight is getting bad or something cuz it looks normal to me! 😂 I mean NOW that you mention it, I guess the picture isn’t as clear as usual but I am almost positive no one wouldn’t noticed. But you’re anal like me so I understand. I make the same unnecessary apologies on my videos.
Listen black people come in all shades. Just say you got a thing against light skinned people. That's your problem.
We can't just see darkskin people. Denzel is darkskin, Lupita darkskin their is your representation and they oscar winners.
Yes you a hater insecure got Darkskin people. And the Cosby had Lisa bonnet and she is light. But now Kenya got a few people light skinned people in show. And that is a problem
But damn Lauren London got Darkskin people pressed
@@annalackay9872 lol loud and wrong
@@Teemama15no girl I know you dark skinned so you feel a way about light skinned people getting some shine. But us light skinned people we also have to watch yall dark skin people but we never complain or hate.
So please learn to love your skin so that other peoples skin don't threaten you.
Someone commented on Shaderoom and said "If u say 'Lightskin' in the mirror 3 times, Kenya Barris will appear". I screamed!!!
I hollered 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfaooooo 😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀
Lol😂😂😂😂
Tell the truth! Biracial representation exists at the expense of Black women. Biracial actresses have nearly replaced Black women in films and TV. Biracial actresses account for over 70% of "black" actresses listed on IMDB. Meanwhile, black men are always cast as authentic black men. You rarely ever see a light skin or biracial man cast as a black man.
So true and soo sad..
They got away with it in Bridgeton because they know that the target audience is predominantly female so they wouldn’t have any pushback with the few minuscule men who watch the show
Yep, I’m side eyeing Zoe Saldaña.
Say it louder for the ppl in the back!!!! I would love to see a film showing two light skin parents parenting dark skinned 4c daughters, the outrage would be massive! Right now, everybody's all, 'well, you know two dark ppl can make a light child,' until the casting is reversed.
Exactly!
Kenya Barris is the Tyler Perry of colorism!! PERIODT. 🤦♀️
..😭😭😭😭🤣
Ooop!!
I mean just look at his dating history 😂 if it's not a white imitation he don't want it
Boom!
I hollered. 😂
The way I cackled when you called that show “light skin-ish”😂😂😂LMAO
Is “Mixed-ish” any better, though? 🤣🤣🤣
Baaaaaaaaaby, I rolled over on the floor. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😩😩😩😩
Casting a biracial actress as the daughter of two black people is played out. I can look pass an interracial relationship, it's 2022, but this "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" trope is tired.
@Lynn Xo What does MGM people mean?? I've never heard that term before.
@Lynn Xo ohh okay. Gotcha. I was wondering if it was derogatory or not. Thank you for clearing that up.
@@blasianbaddiex3 That's an interesting take. It definitely knocks ne out of the running.
Exactly. If you want to cast a biracial actress in a role, cool. Give her parents in an interracial relationship. Eddie and Tracee Ellis would make sense or Nia and Shemar Moore looking type father or a white dude but Eddie and Nia made Lauren??? 🙄 Like just stop…And before people tag me talking about “Black women have the Eve gene blah blah blah.” Yes, I’m aware. Black women can produce lighter children. However, that is EXTREMELY rare when their partner looks like Eddie. And even if they did have a lighter child, Lauren still looks mixed phenotypically as well as hair. She’s not just light skinned. None of this would be confusing if Black people stopped claiming mixed people as Black. Lauren has a white father and Black mother, she is biracial and that’s ok Black people. Let mixed folks have their own space, Black people have our own space and white folks have their space. Problem solved and everyone is represented appropriately and happy 🤗
That's what I thought of "Guess who is coming to dinner"
It's basically a remake of Guess Who, starring Ashton Kutcher and Zoe Saldana, which is the remake of the original Guess Who's Coming To dinner, starring Sydney Poiter. It goes to show that Kenya really doesn't have an original idea or creative thought in his head.
I'm so tired of these remakes those first two were fine let's leave them there.... That's all Hollywood does now wanna remake everything which most don't need to be remade at all🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Which is a remake of Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, starring Sidney Poitier.
The light skinematic universe. ☠️☠️☠️
LSU 🤭🤭🤭
Yes, sometimes lighter-skinned children can come from darker-skinned parents legitimately, however, I am so confused why there's not more shows that make sense as far as familial complexion makeup, like Family Matters for example. The parents and the children were darker skinned and some lighter skinned extended family members. That's just more likely to occur. Hollywood needs to get out more.
It doesn’t make sense to me either.
Yes, two dark skin parents can make a light skin black child. But, two dark skin parents can’t make a light skin bi racial child
@@shamrockshow8490 I blame The Cosby Show
Yea it happens my daughter literally looks like Vanessa Williams and Smokey Robinson or Michael Ealy she has blue green eyes brownish blond loosely curled hair and fair skin and me and her father a dark caramel skin fully African American. Nobody even believes she’s ours she’s definitely not biracial but i can understand the frustration of people that look like my daughter seeming to have light skin privilege and get all the roles. I hope colorism isn’t a huge thing anymore when she gets older.
@@brajeharris3091 Ma'am, shake ya tree. Thomas Jefferson might fall out.
I have noticed that when casting black children in shows overwhelmingly you see children cast that are biracial or mixed raced looking - It’s overwhelming in Hollywood
And the black "dads" are all too eager to go right along with it.
If they just made a good movie Instead of looking for a certain color of actor I think it could work lol but hasnt yet yeah?
..well,I mean it didnt work with the karate kid remake too well with that trumpet faced will smiths son,or how about how they keep changing the race of certain characters like fury,in the comics his skin is white,they keep changing the color of a persons skin far too often,what about the cast of wakanda forever,everybody was black bah one actor,where is the diversity? Considering diversity is rammed down our throats everyday,its the reason diversity is an absolute failure,diversity is being forced and that's the problem,everybody is talking about inclusion but didnt they see boys n da hood? Or above the rim? Poetic justice? Movies have been around with all black cast since the 60s 70s 80s 90s,so why is diversity eing rammed down our throats? In the Netflix categories theres a black movie section but no white movie section,how far is this so called diversity madness gona go before everybody realises it's a scam,the first black panther movie had proper racism in it,'look at those stupid white people' I know for a fact there would have been holy shit ifit was 'look at those stupid black people' can you imagine but you know no director these days is willing to upset a few people unless they are fucking white,todays version of diversity is a total fucking scam,this version of diversity is like 'hello everybody and fuck you white assholes' so as it is it's a big huge fuck you to diversity from me
Even the light skinned folks are tired 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I am also a full time hater. Tho it ain't exclusive to Kenya
we are lol!
That’s why I stay away from anything that man is involved in! Thanks for speaking on this Justin👏🏾
Me too. Won't be watching this.
Same here :)
Yes I don't watch any of them any time I see that type of setup I don't bother. On any show.
Im glad you clarified and said it’s not that “mixed races are a problem” but the over representation gives white supremacy. I agree with you on that. Mixed race will always exist but we can’t let blackness be wiped out especially coming from a history that has wanted to do that since the beginning.
I'm more mad that they want us to believe that Nia Long is supposed to be old enough to be Lauren London's mother. They don't even look as far apart in age as they are IRL so I'm not understanding the choice there.
Exactly! They are only 14 years apart smh.
Lmao funny since my mom and my older sister are 14yrs apart 🤣 ppl think they're sisters
@@cosmicbeauty5682 same with my aunt and cousin lmaooo.
On the Cosby Show the actress who played Sandra was 10 years younger than Phylicia Rashad 😬
The ageism against older women is to blame. Very common that they cast women that could be sisters as mother and daughter. Like just cast an older woman lol
Thank you for mentioning the commercials brah! I can't think of the last time I saw a whole black family on my TV!
It’s rare for me to spot them on TV😞💯
It really is! It’s shameful
Lincoln heights is a pretty good show, about a black family. It’s not a sitcom but it’s a bit of thriller, action, comedy and family friendly rolled into one show. If you like seeing stuff like “black excellence” that’s the show for you. The dad is a cop, mom is a nurse, the son is a singer, the youngest daughter sings and dances plus she’s super smart. And the oldest daughter is into art
And it’s so phony. America treats it like it’s a fad. While there are mixed race couples it’s not the majority of couples as they display it in commercials and tv shows.
I've been complaining about this for months.
I thought the exact same thing when I saw the trailer for the first time. I was like OK Eddie and Nia! Then I saw Lauren and I was like, "Hold on? Ain't she mixed? I'm pretty sure she was mixed in ATL. Why! If you want to cast light, at least do light skin black, not mixed! They love insulting our intelligence. As soon as I saw kenya, I was like, "Oh... he strikes again!". Funny how they say biracial is black, yet we never see black people cast for biracial roles😏
We could never play their roles but they get to play ours. It's messed up. Representation matters
@That Dope Anime Babe Dreya exactly! That "we all the same kinda black is a one way" street. At least cast a brown skin mixed breed. I'm partially mixed, not biracial, but if someone told me I can't play a role bc I look too oriental I wouldn't feel no kinda way. Nia is so gorgeous, and they are doing her wrong, pretending that's her non mixed baby. It's time we start gate keeping black. It's funny how white passing mixed never gets cast as white, but clearly mixed is fine for black casting. It's the mental gymnastics for me 😑
It’s because this trash ass black community keep saying “ bi racials are black”. Now y’all see the outcome! You don’t hear white people calling bi racials “white”, do you? Or saying dumb stuff like “ you are what your father is”
@Shamrock Show funny thing is no one ever calls biracial with a white dad white. When was the last time someone called Tia and Tamara white? It's bs. People are willfully ignorant to pretend it's all bs. When we were in biology 101, not once did they say that bs. What's so hard saying you are half and half. We are being ethnicly erased, and im tired of it. It's fine to identify with black culture more, but when it comes to getting paid for being black in any kind of position, a biracial should not be allowed to take up space. They get to play biracial and black, but people play dumb like they don't see the problem. If biracial is black, then why are their also biracial specific roles? The math not mathing.
@@AnimeBoysOnly Exactly. I always advocating proper Black representation on my platform and real life. Some people do not like when we call these things out, but I do not care. Proper Black representation is NEEDED✊🏾‼️
The erasure of blackness on television is what TH-camrs have been complaining about. We knew that this would happen. And until it happens to black men where biracial men are the new black male representative in television, sports ,until then nothing will be done.
Black men have always approved of biracials replacing true black women.
Exactly it's not a problem replacing black women with biracials but until it happens to black males it'll continue to be swept under the rug. But that's what the future is going to hold though they are going to be replaced by their biracial Sons and I'm telling you they're not going to take it as well as they are trying to force dark skin women to take it they're going to be kicking screaming and crying
Facts and I can't wait until it happens to them
Technically Biracials/Latinos and African Men have been replacing BM in Hollywood for yeaarrss but they don't have the common sense to know that these Men aren't BLACK lol!!🙃
Ikr...they also need to stop calling blk men blk who don't want be i.e Patrick Mahomes, Shahar Moore, and have you seen the lightening of the NBA???
That’s why I love the new version of The Wonder Years. The whole cast is pretty much dark and brown skin.
THIS! & the show is so amazing
Really? I have to watch this
Yesss I just commented this as well. I love the casting.
I like the representation on that show too.
need to check it out
my boyfriend is white & doesn’t get involved in these conversations or watch these type of shows (obviously), but even he said it didn’t make any sense when he saw the trailer. He literally said he noticed the cast is always a specific complexion & it’s hard to ignore.
Edit: I’m dark skinned and I don’t have a problem with lighter people, I just wish there was more rep for people that look closer to me.
Yes the networks use this when they are asked about black representation
Doesn’t get involved😂 yikes.
@@Junieb23 that took me out too. 😂😂😂😂
@@Junieb23 😂😂😂
unpost this
It’s sad. I have to watch African shows, like Africa on Netflix, to see some dark skinned people (and I’m regular black). And honestly, even the African shows are starting to follow the light skinned trend now. I love all of our people and wish Hollywood wouldn’t push a colorist agenda.
I literally been saying this for YEARS how he is and I stopped watching Blackish because of how they had the dark skin daughter they just made her so evil and I was done
I noticed she was very much a stereotype.
I never started, lol. Two episodes seeing how the dark skinned daughter seemed to be evil or something. Then, of course, all the other women are light skinned on the show. Plus, Blackish is LITERALLY a show to explain blackness to white people, it wasn't for black people. at all. Tired.
@@BooDotBoo exactly and why we got to explain ourselves to white people like no and I hated how they made her so manish but the rest are soft and weak like hell naw
Exactly! I notice that too.
@@BooDotBoo How is it that white folks didn't get that? And they didn't learn a d*&n thing after watching seasons of it.
I was ready to look past Jonah Hill being in it when I saw Eddie Murphy and Nia Long…then I saw Kenya Barris’ name and the Saw Hello Zepp music started playing. If there isn’t an adoption reference…
Tbh, I think this show could have worked with a different daughter. I'm not trying to come down on LL, I'm sure she's great, but she doesn't even make sense in the role, at all. She doesn't look like she would be Eddie and Nia's child (Nia and Eddie don't even look that old, so their daughter should be younger, honestly), but she also just doesn't fit with dating Jonah Hill. It's just all weird. I don't see it lasting one season.
Yes!!! I saw the trailer and was like whyyyyy….it doesn’t make sense at all and we are tired tbh overly saturated. I’m light skin and I know we exist but damn
Lol, he means Mixed-ish. But I agree,when I saw Rainbows mother in Blackish and then they made Tinka Sumpter her mother in Mixed-ish, I was like Que Que? 🤨
I am SO glad we are finally having this discussion… it had rubbed me the wrong way for a long time that in black family sitcoms and shows the wife is usually light skinned or mixed and the kids are usually bi racial … it’s like thru avoid full in blackness at all costs
I feel like such a chump for watching A Different World while growing up. I didn't see it then that well, but that show sent a HORRIBLE message about light-skinned women being the prize. Whitley was the preference and that show played it up to the max.
@@peral341 as almost every show has for black people since the beginning of tv and it’s done purposely
Honestly this is a very dated concept. Interracial relationships between Black and White men and women (and nonbinary) aren’t as taboo as they once were. What would have made the story more interesting if the explored the full black woman meeting an immigrant family from China or Korea. The discussion between the relationship between model minority versus Black people isn’t highlighted enough and there’s so much rich content to explore.
This. If we're going to do interracial, it'd be nice to see different mixes. I loved that one movie Issa Rae had where it was a black woman and a south east asian man. That was different and actually made it more interesting. We've seen enough black/white couples, and white/black men with asian wives enough, too.
@@BooDotBoo yes, I love Black and brown couplings 🫶🏾. Warms my little heart.
Yeah this sounds like a more interesting movie exactly... Definitely like to see this ...
I feel like a seen a movie similar to that or maybe im thinking of my crazy rich Asians
Our family wedding was a pretty good movie, that had humor and depth about the culture clash between a Latino and black couples relationship and family.
yes im lightskinned and my ass is tired It makes no since, commercials to.
I’ve been done all the commercials with black men non black women. The black woman in the commercial is single. The black children are biracial and they were all styled by the same hair stylist. I guess we have to watch house of dragons for our dark skinned characters even with the felt stick wigs 😢
It's wild because Entergalactic was an AMAZING Black love story! Could have been cause Cudi had such a huge role in the project. But if only he can do that with humans and not just cartoons lol
I completely love Entergalactic and yes thank God Cudi had an upper hand.
This is the first time I am hearing this work😭💯
@@JulianSteve it's really good and so refreshing to see Blackness in that way. Totally recommend!
@@JulianSteve you will not be disappointed you will identify with the characters trust me
No that was trash it was a fake spider man without the action just displaying toxic relationship behavior we can’t just give passes because they are black make good stuff like Jordan peel
Definitely check out The Neighborhood with Cedric the Entertainer and Tichina Arnold….everyone is dark skin or brown in the black family and they talk about race issues too. I really enjoy the show. Even one of the sons has a black fiancé and she is brown and natural
Thanks for this. I'll check it out.
I never heard of this but I love tichina and Cedric both of them are hilarious
I was waiting for this video at the door! Get into it, Justin!
And this is why I’m happy I canceled my Netflix subscription. Ain’t nobody got time for this shit 🙄🙄🙄
It's like the first season of my wife and kids the original daughter was dark skined and they changed her to a light skined Claire
I agree wit u king of reads 😢 I’m tired of the colorism, texturism, racism, featurism & anti blackness . Lik they just keep pushing this narrative & I’m just tired of it all it’s all promoted all over in fashion campaigns , commercials, movies , music , malls , schools, grocery stores & more like I’m tired of it all ..
So he basically made a updated " Guess Whose Coming to Dinner". The creativity is out the window.
LIGHT SKINAMATIC UNIVERSE?!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣Is he gonna have phases like marvel too? We on phase 4 of the LSCU 🤣🤣🤣
THE LIGHTSKINEMATIC UNIVERSE!! 😂😂😂Why is no one mentioning this?? I AM DECEASED. Why, Justin?! 😂
Lauren London is biracial; her father is Jewish. I agree with the points you've made. Kenya has become a one trick pony and I'm over it.
It's the legacy of cosby show casting. He started the biracial daughter casting and it never stopped. Netflx shows are even worse. You will never see a 4c black woman on a show unless she's 50 and up.
They want to convince us that biracial is the new black. We’ve been replaced and it started in the early 2000s with every tv show or commercial having the curly hair light skin Black kid
Lauren London is in fact biracial. She, in my opinion, should not represent a character who is fully black and has 2 black parents. Just my opinion. As a movie that is talking about the topic of interracialism, they should of gotten that correct but they didn't. Clearly, there is an agenda.
also Lauren London and Jonna Hill are too old to play a couple like this they are in there late 30's and 40's it don't go down like that they would have to be in there 20's for this to work
@@confessionsofajadedoptimist Yup. Look almost the same age as the parents!
@@greenbyrd3665 lol
@@confessionsofajadedoptimist I was thinking the same thing😂😂😂
@@TheEglaneI guess once you break thru you don't have to be good. You can just coast on the past work you did
I’m gagging at you calling it “Lightskin-ish” 🤣 I think you’re referring to “Mixed-ish.” I enjoyed that one but I can admit it was problematic and very on brand for Kenya Barris.
I am a light skin biracial woman and I agree 100%!!!
I say the SAME thing about like car commercials or some random paper towel commercial. Its always the dark skin wife with a white husband or the blonde,white wife with an olive tone husband. Then I play Devil’s Advocate and remember that as much as we may wanna ignore,society is getting more and more racially ambiguous.
it is there is no way around it
I have seen bm with yt women in commercials....I seen a blk couples in commercials noticed you didn't mention that
As of now, most of the couples I see on TV that are interracial couples are with a mono-racial Black man and White woman and/or non-black women. Or a Black man with a White man… Also, I am starting to see it with Black women, but it be a biracial (mixed with Black) woman in the place of a Black woman’s position. It’s too much, but what can we do? It’s the media’s agenda💯
Or the lgbt holiday romance films or some shit. It’s always a gay male POC and the boyfriend is name near ALWAYS WHITE. I see a lgbt romance film, I see the trailer, the man theyre chasing after is white.
But is it??!!!! Black people are the least likely to marry out: Latinos and Asians do.
We need better writers. The writers in the 70s 80’s and 90’s seem more inclusive and better story tellers. The shows from that era had people running home to watch them. There has not been a black show on the air that I have been committed to like the older shows. The writing along with the casting is not giving.
You said it! We are missing good storytelling with complex characters.
Yesssss omg there is a desperate need of better story tellers/ writers. Seem like They just all suck nowadays cause no one is running home tuning in!😂
Thursday nights on NBC was the highlight of the week. Couldn't wait to see The Cosby Show.
Yeah you have a point there, very few black shows from the 2000s... But I did watch Lincoln Heights, and The Wonder Years now but that's actually pretty much it... Most black shows are drama shows or reality tv🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I been saying that writers were creative with these stories back in the day who could have came up with terminator or look who’s talking or even the wizard of oz I guess there jobs depended on it more
I call him the biracial Tyler Perry
Or what they do is give you a black son and a biracial daughter. That one always gets me. It’s the erasure of the black female.
At this point, he need to make a remix Lightskin Avengers 😂 and create a light skin Marvel Multiverse while he at it.
😂😂😂
You are so right about this and I hope you open up the conversation about this.
I’m sorry but Lauren London can not act to me..like what is everyone seeing that I’m not??
Facts ! She’s so lack luster, no charisma. It’s the light skin privilege.
Light skin
Nia still got the Best Man series on Peacock, she'll be ok... she never goes without work for long.
You know what’s interesting. Over 10 years ago I used to work upstairs from the GAP in a tall office building. Each and every time there was a photo ad in their windows, it was allllways a biracial female woman or child, but they would use a non-biracial black man or child. I was, like, what the heck is up with that?? Are they saying a woman with two black parents isn’t attractive? Fast-forward 10 years later and NOW folks are finally noticing and calling BS!! This is a big issue all over the world. Granted there are shows (like the new Bel Air and Snowfall) that are hiring darker hued black people, but Hollywood has a lonnnnggg way to go. Golden Brown complected women who are Porsha Williams, Vivica Fox and myself won’t get many roles because Hollywood hasn’t grasped the hues that are in between. They’re going to either cast REALLY dark or REALLY light and/or biracial. The colorism has a lot to do with us black people. Many of us are still color struck in 2022. Btw, Justin, have you seen Riches??!! A LOT of melanin but, low and behold, they’ve tossed in a sprinkle of light skin or biracial folks, and then one of the main characters has a white boyfriend.
Yup media knows what the black men preference are and they confirm it for them when u constantly always see a mixed couple never just a regular black couple o
Als
I'm just so tired of this trope. Stop making interracial relationships (specifically black and white) so shocking. Uggh, most real-life mixed families just be vibin.
Came faster than this 😂 I just needed something from you ❤😅
“faster….THAN THIS!!!”😂😂😂I’m screaming!
Light skinematic is killing me😂
My sister is Lauren London complexion and my dad is darker then Eddie and my mother isn't light skin at all. It can happen. I get your point though.
The funniest part of this movie is Edie Murphy asking where all the black men are at the restaurant… like he doesn’t have biracial kids.
When I saw the title of the show, "You People" I knew it was trash clickbait. I didn't watch any of the ish'es and I wont be watching this either
Facts!!! I want a Mono Black family like the 70s sitcom "Good Times" 2023
Justin your hair is 🔥
Omg! Thank you! Someone who says EXACTLY what I’m always thinking. I’m tired!
“Light-skinnimatic universe” PLEASE
7:28 you was FED TF UP 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I feel you
Justin just about sums up everything about this new show. Light-Skinematic Universe, indeed!
😂 he has me rofl light-skinematic universe
You are so on point. Thank you for your perspective. I am in total agreement. Glad to see more of us putting the truth out there.
I'm subscribing my G, I'll put up with the out of focus vid because Your funny🤣🤣🤣 as hell and I agree one hun-id.
Half of Hollywood is biracial now
I’m glad you said something. First things first: The title. I mean he could’ve thought of something because it really annoyed me a bit. It isn’t enough we hear “you people” every other day no matter where we are. Second: Kenya Barris. Period.
He's Tyler Perry Jr.
Eddie Murphy is a colourist and is married to a white woman now, and how come black men endorse colourism and nobody calls them out.
Lauren London is biracial, Nia long is light skinned, and typical the black man had to be dark Eddie Murphy but we are not ready for that conversation.
We all know this is nothing to do with white people but everything to do with black men.
I bet everything, Eddie Murphy decided on the cast.
Colourism is endorsed by our own people and nobody else.
Laughed out soooo Loud, when I saw that Trailer, 🤣🤣🤣 2 fully BLACK Parents with a Biracial daughter, plzzzz, yes, Lauren London's Bio Mother is Black and her Father is Whyte, love Jonah Hill, but be fr, fr 😭😭
no but fr. At least cast an actual black woman to play his wife, how “black” do they think the child will look 🥴
I'm with you. I've been over since they decided to make mixed women replacements for brown skin Black women.
Lightskin cinematic universe cracks me up 😂😂😂😂
We got Zoe Saldana playing an African American woman on "From Scratch" on Netflix. I understand the African Diaspora, but she clearly reps for the Hispanic community. Remember Nina Simone???
That’s crazy it’s so many black actors that aren’t really working they could have used
Thank you thank you thank you. When I saw the trailer for that movie I was like no. Everything you said is soooooo true
I seriously had NO idea Lauren London was biracial. Learn something new everyday.
I'm starting to see it a lot on TV commercials too.
I don't know why, but "even the light skin people are tired...." cracked me up.
This video was everything I needed and more 😂.
Here for it
Love your hair. 😊😊
I was waiting on this
When I see Eddie Murphy in the trailer I knew his daughter was going to be light-skinned. He's never had a dark skinned girl/woman play his daughter in any film.
Sidenote: This is the same that dressed up as dark skinned black woman and perpetuated every negative stereotype there is about us. Please do not come under my comment being obtuse.
Huh? His real life kids are light skin. Also in Coming to America 2 his daughter was dark-skinned and his biological child played in the film as well.
@@shantelane2553 I said what I said. Enjoy your day.
I’ll pass on this 😂😂
I knew you was coming with a video 😂
“She’s biracial.. she’s biracial girrrrl.”
😂
@5:41 Yes, Lauren London is half Jewish on her fathers side, if I remember correctly.
I never knew this at all. I was today years old when I learned this information. I saw her mom and she looks just like her!
❤ new subbie!
Besides the skin color…..Nia Long is too young to play the mother of Lauren London. IRL they are only 14 years apart, they look only about 10 years apart so it’s not going to be very convincing…..
I'm tired too. And, Mr. Hill tan scared 😨 me.
I'm so glad somebody finally said it
Shout out to the black folk who reject the one drop rule. I’m 3 shades lighter than my mother and father, been in the sun and all, my skin won’t darken, but I don’t consider myself light skinned. My cousin calls me a light skinned red bone but I just don’t see it. She even admitted that she was jealous of me because I’m lighter than her and because she’s experienced a lot of colorism growing up. It sucks
🙄🤦🏿♀️
Wow your hair is flourishing
Okay this title is funny as hell lmaooo
I also feel like Kenya Barris exhibits selective colorism in regards to males, because season 5 of Grown-ish is supposed to be about Junior, the son’s, experience at college.
Yard Shahidi had four whole seasons of a spin off to herself, but they keep deciding to bring her back in the midst of Junior’s season. They don’t think that light-skinned Junior can carry a season all by himself but they need light skinned Zoey to save the day with her light-skinned antics.
EDIT: I would also like to mention how it’s suspicious that dark skin, Erin and light skin. Zoe are allowed to continue their relationship in junior season, but they made sure to never give Junior a chance with his dark skin love interest. 🤔
My older sister is the same complexion as Lauren London. And both my parents are darkskin. So let’s not act like that can’t happen. I do agree put different complexions of black people on tv.
KB and Tyler Perry need to go.
The crazy thing is that it ain't like light skinned black people with 2 black parents don't exist. There are plenty to pluck from. But they always need the daughter to be some version of Lisa Bonet.
I saw that trailer posted on YT, and INSTINCTIVELY knew to stay the eff away from it.
I have to watch...Nia Long and Eddie Murphy are my faves!
I'm watching because of the cast. I like them all
