Zoe Kravitz: " I've recently begun to identify more with my blackness"

[YouMadd?]

There is big difference you dont have lightskin that connotates some heavy racial mixture. You also dont have to wishy washy half breeds as parents.

You don't know what I look like

Second part is true though...

 

[YouMadd?]

Why the incorrectly overused ellipses, though? Soon as I see "..." I already know who's typing.

Bad habit...........


I break out into convulsions when I have to actually type business related emails

Lol pls enlighten me on this chunk of african american culture im missing? Bruh you know im right, there was jazz but they stole that. I stand by what I said, african american culture for the past 20-30 yrs has been exactly those things.

Im curious at what other pieces of African American culture I supposedly didnt include btw.I didn't even diss yall, you're just being defensive.

What do you label as culture. The only thing we don't have is language

I like her. She's starting to understand it and really its her parents fault. They kept her away from that and she grew up privileged and so far removed from poverty and the black existence. Even though she is mulatto, she still has black lineage. Good for her. It's a struggle for biracial people.

So you think to appreciate black culture you have to grow up in poverty?

 

[keond]

Everyone gotta get that wake up call eventually . Glad she woke now

You're the type of black person that perpetuates division tho. I'm promoting black unity. The practice being used against us is systematic white supremacy. You want to take your frustration with WS out on lighter skinned blacks when that only causes division. If you want to look at blacks in amerikka as a tribe, then you have to acknowledge that our tribe has been diluted from it's inception. They started raping Africans producing mixed blacks as soon as they took the people from Africa. Don't reject mixed blacks, reject those who perpetuate white supremacy regardless of their skin tone.

You already know that I'm against blacks going IR so I don't know why you insist upon trying to make that false leap. Being against IR has nothing to do with accepting that mixed/biracials who are visibly of African descent are black. A mixed person has nothing to with their parents decision to get together. Just because a mixed person is the product of a c00n doesn't mean that he/she will be a c00n too.

You keep saying that other groups don't accept biracials illustrating that you don't get racial politics. You ignore all the clear evidence to the contrary. We all saw whites accept, support, and protect George Zimmerman despite his mixed racial heritage. We all saw Hispanics groups who normally don't even get along unite to protect/support Mexicans against Trump. Island Hispanics and Central Amerikkkan Hispanics don't usually get along but they come together to unite under the broad/general term Hispanic because they understand that there's strength in numbers. White is also a general term full of people with mixed racial heritage. A lot of people from Southern Europe have mixed heritage. Northern Africans are classified as white.

Thank you man. Finally some intelligence around here. Jokers stay pushing that others don't accept mix folks. These fools out they got damn mind when white Jews been doing this for 100s of years. All they care about is if you down for their cause.

Imma get hate but she's right about what black culture actually is Tbh. Im talking about African American culture btw. Its not like yall have languages (i pray noone counts Ebonics as a language) cultural dances etc. Its pretty much southern food, hip hop and modern youth pop culture (nae nae, or nah, whip).

You make a good point, but riddle me this...what the fukk does AAs and our culture have to do with a half Black carribean half jew denying her blackness?
Why couldnt she get in touch with Caribbean people and cultures seeing as those are her people?
Why do non AAs always try and use negative sterotypes about AAs as a scapegoat for their self hatred?

Lol they keep trying to downplay AAVE yet they cant help but to use it even though many of them arent even AA.

the Caribbean part of her ancestry is negligible

 

[kayslay]

No its not.
Her father makes a trip to the caribbean at LEAST once a year.
You mean to tell me he never took her with him?
SHE IS NOT AA so wtf does our culture have to do with her embracing her Blackness?
She needs to get intune with HER peoples.

She has ONE great grandparent from the Caribbean. She AA

 

[Box Cutta]

******. Wake. Up. Call.

This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen her speaking about race in the past year.

She was running around on some hippie shyt....but Hollywood isn't giving her the opportunities that they are giving these young white girls...

And there are LEVELS to this shyt...because she can't have the career of a Jennifer Lawrence due to racism...but somebody like Keke Palmer can't have her career due to colorism. I hope she's aware enough to recognize that as well.

Im not mad but you are.
She has more ties (e.i. her father) to the caribbean than the AA community but she literally acts like they dont exist.
