unless a mixed girl grows up around black people she will always be clamouring to be accepted by her white counterparts that view her as a nikka, thinking a white boyfriend and lighter make up can hide the elephant in the room. seriously i see this almost everywhere.

I don't know why any of this woman's antics surprises anyone to this day? Why are black people surprised by these c00ns?:mjlol:

She wants to be white...let her go be white as fukk and eat Overnight Oats like most white people do. White people eventually drop them back off after they are done being with some "exotic" ass. Don't worry she will come running back soon after she gets her "nikka wake up" call. :francis:
The funny thing is, she already got her wake-up call and went on a rant in a magazine about how she's been denied numerous roles because she isn't "white" and how the white casting agents in Hollywood are racist towards her. She realized in that moment that she is still considered a non white no matter how straight she wears her hair or how many white boys she dated.

She got box braids and dated a mixed dude for a couple of months saying that was her way of "identifying with her blackness" but she mustve gotten uncomfortable, so she's died her hair blonde and got another white boyfriend.

She's a product of her upbringing - she said that her dad had her attend an all white private school in Miami - and her grandma Roxie married a white man :mjpls: and her mom :mjpls: She herself said that the white kids in her high school always assumed that she listened to rap and watched Tyler Perry films, so she felt like she had to prove them wrong by hanging out with them more :snoop:
It should've been fishy to everybody by her announcing this to the media. Most biracial folks who are down, you already know they are just be the folks who they hang out/associate with they don't need to make an announcement.

This. Black Men who have biracial kids need to raise them in a neighborhood or suburb with at least a notable black population, so they can grow up with & go to to school with other black kids.

or at least take them to African/Caribbean Sunday schools in summer regardless of the race of the parent who is the guardian they host them all over my country where black people(as a whole) are only the fourth biggest ethnic group. thing is so many white girls with black fetishisation issues think

" oh i want a mixed babeh cause their cute "

Then fail to understand the ramifications and challenges of actually raising a mixed race yute. they don't actually care about the world they bring their child in and how they will help their child get through it as someone who is in a quagmire of being a "nikka" but not black all they care about is if the baby has curly hair for them to play with.

TL;DR: some parents of mixed children and children in general don't actually think about the world they are bringing their child into and it's sickening.

On her identity as the biracial daughter of stars Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, the actress said she has only recently begun to identify more with her blackness. Growing up, she said attending a predominantly white school made her feel as though she was "just as white" as her classmates.

“I identified with white culture, and I wanted to fit in," she told Nylon. "I didn’t identify with black culture, like, I didn’t like Tyler Perry movies, and I wasn’t into hip-hop music."

“Unfortunately that is what’s fed through the media. That’s what people see. That’s what I saw," Kravitz added. The actress says she has since gained more perspective on being black, and realizes that black culture is "so much deeper than that."

For Kravitz, introductions to important black actors and musicians helped change her perspective on black identity. "I got older and listened to A Tribe Called Quest and watched films with Sidney Poitier, and heard Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. I had to un-brainwash myself. It’s my mission, especially as an actress.”

She is not biracial:mindblown:

Her parents are:snoop:
