Lisa Bonet’s Daughter Explains Why She Couldn’t Connect With Being Black

[sunny80]

Neither could her parents, which is why I could not understand the praise they received from black audiences. They relate blackness to stereotypes. They do not categorize themselves as black, yet take black roles and fill black spaces.

That movie "dope" was CORRRRRNYYYYYYYYYYY

I don't play that biracial ain't black shyt. IF it were before 1865 they'd be slaves like us. If Lenny Kravitz and Lisa weren't famous and we didn't know they background we'd assume they was light skinned.

Being a slave doesnt make you black. And there were numerous biracial people pre 1865 who were not slaves and actually served as a buffer class between blacks and whites in many states. Look at places like Louisiana

It's her parents fault

Well explain to me how white society treats them different from us? They don't, only we treat and view them differently.

Well explain to me how white society treats them different from us? You think biracial blacks get a pass from cops?

Non Black hispanics dont get a pass from cops does that make them black now?

Have more respect for yourself


Unless youre biracial yourself

This my whole problem with their stance.

They themselves relegate blackness to being something evil or bad....

“Cookout”

 

[Slangtonomo]

I used to be one of the ones trying to force people to be black. Then I realized how weak it look as a group for us to be begging people to come join us in blackness.

A mulatto is a mulatto! They can CHOOSE to identify with their black part, but they're NOT black.

Mulatto needs be made it's own official race.

Admit it. A lot of yall was raised the same way

Nope, I was made aware of my ancestry
