I'm an African, growing up my mom would blast Tina records as we cleaned and stuff, we used to sit n watch her biopic and have little mother to daughter chats about life and relationships, she was an inspiration to me...seeing this video hurt my soul a little bit, I would have never thought that she, who had her power stripped away from her would label other victims of abusive power "weak".
I still love her music and admire her strength of spirit to survive what she has but I don't view her the same.
she also called africans lazy
@@pixie77531 Ironic considering many Africans call black Americans lazy. She meant slow-paced not refusing to work. She was in a rural area it seems and she said she liked to go out and go shopping etc.
"Honorary white"! I would consider it a curse to be given that title...
Entertainers are not leaders, that's not to say we wish ill, Malcolm X warned us about them.
I knew of many artist including the O’Jays who toured South Africa even knowingly of its apartheid policies, then there were some Artist although not as affluent and popular as the Tina and O’Jays head the call not to perform in SA …The Hon Robert Nester Marley (Bob Marley) Peter Tosh Jimmey Cliff and others…they weren’t naïve!!!
The PIMP Tina Turner was not naive either, she was a TRAMP that made it big, and was well aware of the situation in Africa period. Every entertainer finds out a little about the Country they are going to perform in, it is simple common sense to know where you are going.
In this world no one is innocent, everybody makes mistakes rest in paradise queen ,you will never be forgotten tina
The fact that she was designated an honorary white tells you exactly how ridiculous apartheid was. I hope Tina got a big fat check!
We all have something in our life we regret,! MOST important she acknowledged her mistake and apologized!! They're lots of AFRICANS & Black diasporas who won't even admit they're have any connections to Africa!!
So many Uncle Toms even today!!
May she rest in peace, she was a fighter and surviver 😢😭❤️💞💖
She never apologized for calling us lazy and denigrating our food, but OK.
Bullshit, the PIMP never regretted, she was uneducated deliberately about Africa, and the contribution Africa brought to DIRTY Europe at the time, sciences, arts, health etc, this know history....so she preferred Europe, BUT OF COURSE, she was a former PIMP, neon lights and the who NINE. I know plenty of people will have cognitive dissonance (rather unfortunate) she was a sell out in the END. 👎🏾👎🏾
why are you lying she never apolgized
@@SaiSaiGre I don't think she meant lazy in the same way. She meant like slow-paced not refusing to work.
I didn't know about that! 😢 Thank you for the info!
❤ Tina will always be Tina
correct, the PIMP.
She called Africans "LAZY" and dissed their food too. She had disdain for Africans
Yes I just recently found out about this because many are not only speaking about it but has depicted her as no role model that their children will looking up to though she's now @ rest
The African food is not appealing to black Americans 🖤 no disrespect to my African friends ❤😂
WELL, I can't eat there food smh they should have a variety of food instead of only African food visitors are not accustomed to eating there diet of there food preferences smh😢
@@tinaanderson200 Speak for yourself. I'm a Black American and I love African, Caribbean, and soul food.
I mean… African food isn’t really appealing. I’m just glad that us Caribbeans took it’s dna and made beautiful cuisines from it 🤣
I once read about two British 🇬🇧 dancers - one black, one white - involved in a car crash in SA 🇿🇦. Only the white guy was flown to the hospital in a helicopter 🚁 but the black guy was left behind, and remained in that state for hours until a black ambulance 🚑 service arrived. He was denied proper treatment at the hospital 🏥 because of his race, and by the time he was given honorary white status it was too late. He lost the use of his legs, which put an end to his dancing 🕺 career.
I think at that time she had a case of the "Stockholm syndrome" It's a shame she never preformed in Zimbabwe though.
That's so beautiful she my black goddess ❤🌺
A goddess who hho hated to be black. Black goddess my foot.
She was a legend she paid the price, but after she left lke she was 💯 percent white orientated, you have to give her props, but I was never a fan. RIP 🙏🏾☝🏾
Not true, Tina was very pro black. She went with several bm who uses and abused her. Can't blame her for bm not valuing her that why she sang that song "What's love have to do with it". Stop being a mammy!
I said what I said, but mammy help me with that please, because that went over my big head?!?!
@Ann Esther there was many black people who performed in SA during Apartheid SA besides Tina, what does that make them, we're they also white oriented?
@@rafaelw8115 your facts are wrong, Tina never once messed with her skin tone, not ever, I used to think she was lighter until I met her, she was considerably dark in person, she's also never worn blonde wigs if I have to be pedantic, they were more of a brown tone. Of course her image changed after Ike but it changed to fit the type of music she was getting into at the time, for a longtime she wanted to be a rock icon like the Rolling Stones and fill stadiums, her image had to obviously fit that, only makes sense and she has since lived in a white world for obvious reasons, her music is predominantly white, her fans are white and she desperately wanted to leave America so that she never ever bumps into Ike again. Her new world in Europe is a world dominated by white people but the notion that she went into that world because she didn't wanna be black is myopic and silly, it's very important to understand her decisions around the context of her life
@@edmundsishange3608 my comment wasn’t on her visit to South Africa but overall in general, she focused on pleasing white people.
She was a descent human being to admit that she regrets it.
RIP LEGEND ❤️ 🙏
Check your history before you say anything.
Bullshit, decent my ass, TINA THE PIMP Turner. 12 Grammys; wonder what she did to earn those ? not music, Grammys are given by votes, black people are now knowing this, so it was not votes.
Well, it’s alleged she moved to Switzerland not only for Love but also no longer wanted to live around black people. It’s alleged she also stated she preferred light skinned black men or a white man. She’s a colorist what do we expect,
The damage has been done. May your soul rest in peace,Amen
May her gentle soul rest in peace.. Rest in peace Tina Turner 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
gentle soul??? she called africans lazy someone with a gentle soul would not do that
However Tina was welcomed with Open Arms at the Time - should have not had regrets -Politics' & Music do not Mix
This is a complete misunderstanding of the system u live under. If politics and music didn't mix, radical revolutionary music would play on the radio. The Roots wouldn't need to water down their former radicalism to be mainstream
Rubbish
Tina Turner l Love you so much miss you so much rest in peace ❤️🙏🌹🥰😢😭
Miss TT should have not been mistreated by South Africa when she performed There but I can clearly see y Tina Turned down offer's To perform ever again In South Africa I don't blame her one freaking bit for doing so
She had a turbulent life and had grown to be aloof to the geopolitical meat grinder that was in South Africa during the Cold War. She had a white partner and certain things deviate one from who they are. It’s all done now,she later toured South Africa after Apartheid and was happier after fall of that brutal regime that enjoyed support from US govt during the Cold War. It’s a lesson to us to embrace who we are and refuse such demeaning classifications as “honorary white”.
This reminds me of a very infamous incident in sport when New Zealand rugby team used to tour Aparthied South Africa,they would drop all their players who had Māori blood and only select white players,so they can appease the host regime. One day they selected a dark skinned Fijian guy and since he was so good in Rugby,they insisted on picking him to play. After some tense negotiations with govt officials,he was classified as honorary white and the matches went ahead. Needless to say,that Dark skinned Fijian guy dazzled during the matches,scored tries and helped New Zealand beat South Africa,he also won over the black South African fans who rooted for him with passion. That turned out to be his last tour of South Africa as selectors could not pick him again on such a tour as it stirred passions amongst blacks. Many years after he retired,after apartheid had collapsed,he visited South Africa again and got a hero’s welcome,he is proud of having made such an impact during tough times,as blacks idolised him.
When Australia toured South Africa in 1992,they also selected a Tongan born player called Willi Offahangue and he immediately became a hit among black South African fans who always rooted for opposition teams. I remember watching a documentary about those 2 rugby players back in 1999,it was a great documentary. Hope someone can upload it on TH-cam and this channel must share it. That truly puts into perspective how horrendous that apartheid regime was.
Thank you for that history lesson 😊👍🏽
And now we walking sewer in South Africa. People still starving. No electricity etc etc. 35% unemployment if not more. At least she saw a working South Africa. Now it's rotting away like the rest of Africa, murder, corruption, robberies you name it we got it. CHOLERA! In this day and age we got it too.
When people show you who they are, believe them. 🥳
#SimplyTheBest #TT #legend #powerwoman
THis is a Tina Turna PR video. HOW can you talk about her visit to afrca without mentioning what she said about AFricans being lazy and uninspiring? So dishonest.
She was born and raised in the Jim Crow/apartheid south and supported the very same system of racial oppression in Africa.
LET TINA RIP NO ONE
IS PERFECT. TINA IS NO
LONGER HERE STOP TALKING DISRESPECTFUL ABOUT HER. NO ONE IS
PERFECT. SHE WAS A KIND INTELLIGENT BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WHO DID IT HER WAY
AND ASKED FOR NOTHING IN RETURN.
BUT LOVE AND HAPPINESS SHE FOUND IT WITH HER
HUSBAND ERWIN BACH. I AM GLAD SHE
WAS HAPPY .
Glad I'm not put out there because we all say things that other's do not like. However if she did not like going to South Africa then sobeit. What other people eat don't make me poop. She returned to perform in the 90s. Stop the madness and live your own lives my suggestion😊
Tima played the game well and won but in the end karma always prevails. Rip
You can say that again Tanis. She certainly did not get away with her game and paid dearly. Just a pity that Ike was left in dirt although it's all coming out now. You just have to delve into utube and find it. 🐝
Rip
Leave her be what's done Is done let our legend of rock and roll be in peace x
Honorary white? What in the name of gawd…
Bophuthatswana was a Bantustan established by the Apartheid regime in 1977 and reintegrated into South Africa at the onset of Majority rule in April 1994. The British Protectorate of Bechuanaland birthed the Republic of Botswana in 1966.
We are still waiting for apaul Simon’s regret for breaking the artist ban and chose money over morals
Watch his Graceland documentary. I don't remember the name but I known it has Graceland in the name, but Simon speaks on it with Dali Tambo and he expresses his regret and Tambo holds him accountable. I'm not defending Simon coz I don't remember if he actually apologized; I just remember that they spoke candidly on it. Also, it's just a good documentary
She was born and raised in a country that had an apartheid segregated system. Why single out SA or Tina for touring there during the apartheid days. Work is work entertainers shouldn't be used as political pawns.
I would say that, in 79 Tina needed money to get on her feet. I think her divorce was finalized in 78, and what money she made was taken before she got it to pay a huge debt cause be Ike. I can't blame her for the choice she made to survive to do what SHE needed to do, because no one else was going to do it for her. At that time, she was considered a has been and washed up.
I read a comment below about Tina saying that Africans were lazy, which I've seen that interview, and sensed no malice in that remark. Tina was from a time where black women and men had to work hard and there was no such thing as sitting on you ass taking it easy.
Rip 🪦
I didn't even know she passed, her death wasn't hyped at all what happened? The WS took her out so he can enjoyed her dough? May she rest in peace.
Thats not true she left most of her wealth to her black family. Google Tina Turner settled her estate before crossing over. She had interviews about this was paramount with her.
@Juiet Kumasenu she's just died 3 days ago and there's definitely hype over her death, it's all over international media
Where you sleeping? Her death was discussed worldwide, and tributes have come in from the same.
why did yall not put the part where she called africans lazy 😒
Oh but more than happy to. Perform in Apartheid lsrael
Israel and South Africa pre 1990 two of a kind.
Shame on her
Either misinformed or money was the driving force for her decision.
Mind you, am not giving her a free pass.
Or, was not Black Conscious.
She also said disgusting things about Africans
Ok so the more I see about this the more the “naive” thing makes sense. It’s not an excuse but I can see where being so far removed from the every day person and listening to people you consider friends can have you looking crazy. Yeah she got it twisted.
A true sellout
Of the HIGHEST order
A sellout because she is not a Marxist like you.
Straight up bed wench.... Sold out for zaddy. No sugar coating it..smh🤔
Republic of Bophutatswana (Botswana)...???
Still a chronic victimhood mentality issue. Sad really. Effective, affective
A victim is a victim whether u agree with their victimhood or not.
@@SaiSaiGre chronic bastardization victimhood syndrome of a SMASHED culture
Go find your dad and let the adults talk
Nice wig. It luk guut on u
3:44 what does Ike being an a**hole have to do with Tina?
Because he was in control of her of her life and if she didn't do as he said she got beat up by him.😢
Hope she finds peace indeed, but we must not forget she had no problem abandoning her roots for white acceptance. There was a reason why black radio would not play her music.
Exactly! They would have nothing to do with her., 🐝
She was probably broke in 1979.
She was! Had to work as Ann Margaret’s maid when she left Ike penniless.
yup. broke and in heavy debt
That's what happen when being with certain bm they will use and abuse bw.
@@incognitoyo8606 Tina did NOT work as Ann-Margret´s maid!! 😅 Ann-Margret helped Tina because they were friends, was she ran from Ike, so did Wayne Shorter and his wife Anna Maria. Tina stayed with them too for free, and when they were gone during the day, Tina cleaned their houses because she wanted to. She enjoyed doing that, to do something for their hospitality.
@@planetthunderstorm okay so that was an exaggeration.
Never care much for her
me too i liked a few of her songs but i never cared that much for her either and the comment she made about africans made me care even less for her im glad she is gone i hope she is in hell right now i see now why ike beat her
@@pixie77531Если ты тоже ешь кошек, то ты тоже будешь в аду. У меня их много, я их спасаю, я их вылечиваю, у них душа лучше , чем у некоторых людей, как можно их есть, они для любви и ласки. Я плачу...
i see now why i never cared for her music
yes, that was a mistake.
TINA LIVED 2 LIFES ! ONE REGRETTING SHIT FOR ATTENTION THE OTHER HIDING FROM HERSELF!
Damn@ luckydube u act as if u knew her personally. U and everyone else who's on here talkin shit about someone who has passed away should be ashamed of yourself. Yall are judging but in reality yall wish yall had her money and her life so get over yourself you are no better then the next person
Then the is nothing good about her because she would have refused for humanity special she was a black lady
No one was paying her bills and she isnt political
