This is why it's so funny to see black people so pressed to have biracial children. Don't people realize that regardless of who the other 50% nonblack race is, those kids will always be more proud to have that in them?
That Armenian shyt is ALL because they're speaking to Armenian Weekly. It's 2013 and most people in this thread (and in the world at large) had no idea they were Armenian. If they were really more proud of their Armenian heritage wouldn't they have trumped this up long before now? Surely, during the Menace II Society and Dead Presidents days I can see why they'd repress this pride, but as they tried to get more mainstream with movies like From Hell and Book of Eli....why didn't they trump up their beloved Armenian heritage then?
As far as not wanting to be pictured with Black photographers, I think they stated exactly why: they found it to be offensive. And they have a legit beef there. Hollywood, probably more than any other industry is good for typecasting and pigeonhole-ing people into certain roles and genres.

They are mixed kids that was most likely raised to deny Thier black side growing up. When they became adults they wants to explore it. Made a bunch of black movies exploring and exploiting it. A few guys from American pimp said something was off about them too.
So in order to "fake" pride for the Armenian weekly they decide to shyt on their black half? They refused to pose with black directors because it was disrespectful to their white half but when they're dealing with their white half, they had no problem disrespecting their black half. Like it's so fukking hard to show respect for both cultures even when dealing with only one.
That shyt was wrong and your defense of it is weak.
First, I'm not saying their pride is fake. I'm saying it appears overstated because they're speaking to an Armenian publication who undoubtedly asked questions centered around their Armenian heritage. Who are you to tell them their feelings of unwelcomeness from Black folks never happened? Sounds like they were asked to contrast the two halves.
They refused to pose with black directors because they felt it was disrespectful to BOTH halves. They felt it ignored their Armenian half (dumb reasoning, IMO) and they felt it was pigeonhole-ling to their Black half (legit gripe).
well they're right they aren't black.
Sounds like they were trying to show how much more proud they were to be half Armenian. It's quite obvious and regardless of what questions they were asked, any person who has any sort of pride or respect for that side of their family would never throw them under the bus because they were asked a fukking question. Like they had to answer it. That's another weak ass excuse. You sound like a c00ning ass negro. Go suck a white titty.
