No one from our generation played both sides of the fence better than Mariah Carey

[Yo Mama]

Nobody thinks Jay-Z is ugly because he looks too negroid. He's just ugly.

Jay Z is an "old" man in his 40/50+.
Was he considered ugly by non-c00ns 20/30 years ago? Coz he looks decent in his pics as a young man.

Classically handsome? Pretty? - No.

Ugly? - No.

But I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.

But if you read the online insults it's definitely mostly his lips and other "black" features people have issues with.

U need to go read that book before speaking.

Wasn't no "biracial men who look more like their white half/third/quarter" technical terms. The mom was negro the baby was negro and they treated him as such. There's a scene were both of the kids are now adults and massas' son who believes he is Black is the servant of the son who is really the ex slaves. And massas' son is abused as a servant by the exs slave son.

SMH.

You are delusional.

I think we sometime have short-term memories. People did question Mariah's blackness and authenticity. It was even well-known that Mariah did not even consider herself black growing up (although she didn't consider herself white either). She was on some, "I'm not black, I'm OJ" steez.

This. I also didn’t know Mariah was considered Black early on. I thought most people thought she was White until she came out about her dad being Afro Venezuelan.

Nah. Jay is and has always been ugly. Has nothing to do with his “Black” features. Lol. My man’s is just ugly.

Elaborate. Dont make an empty statement.

Did you read the book Puddinghead Wilson?

 

[CinnaSlim]

I never considered her black but I was an barely born during the start of her career.

 

[Yo Mama]

Delusional about a full black person with zero white/other admixture looking white.

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

[Booker T Garvey]

not sure I fully agree with the premise of this post...she never really hid that she was black/mixed

one thing I did pick up on was that she would do a video and song that looked and sounded white as hell

then do a hood ass remix to that same song for us...always found that peculiar

 

[satam55]

No.



I'm talking all thru out their careers. Once Mariah started fukking with Puffy ODB and Bone Thugs. Her Black card was forever sealed. None of that questioning of what is she doing for the Black community was pushed on her like we currently see with Beyonce. We didnt see it in 97, 99, 2001....None of those years. In 2005 Mariah had a rebirth and took the spotlight one last time before Beyonce would start to dominate. That "We Belong Together" song shut the game down for a good minute. When that song was hot the critics were nagging about Beyonce wearing weaves while bopping their heads to Mariahs hit.



off topic..after Mariah dropped Tommy and started getting that melanin dikk down on the regular, her whole appearance changed.

Who she been with besides Nick Cannon?

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

End od the day, we claimed her, both in the 90s and 2000s.

You ae

What the hell are u talking about? Are your Jerrys kid? What you are talking about has absolutly nothing to do with Mark Twains story. You are talking about something comepletly different.

 

[J-MIL]

Always considered her a cac tbh

This. I'm a 90s kid and even I remember Mariah's lineage being questioned and doubted a lot. Her being fully accepted as a "black woman" is a relatively recent invention. As far as a lot of black people were concerned, she wasn't "black" but she had "soul" and therefore earned a seat at the table ala Teena Marie.

And it's not even that she was on some "I'm not black I'm OJ" type shyt" iirc, she just road the wave of being thoroughly mixed and 'racially ambiguous' way before it was a term in the modern lexicon. AFIK, in the late 80s and 90s, she was happily parading around as an AA/Venezuelan/Irish (or maybe German) mutt.

That’s what she is
