Actress Yara Shahidi: I'm NOT Lite Skinned . . . And I Want Black People To STOP Calling Me THAT!

[96Blue]

I don't know what she is or what to call her... But, I know what race she isn't.



I'm telling y'all, a lot of the biracial (half-Black) people that I've met don't identify as being Black. They're claiming their mixed heritage, which I don't really have a problem with.

Be on a show called Blackish, and fit the title to a tee, yet stay mad about it, brehettes.

Why does the whole black community have to take blame for some black people's actions?

 

[JLova]

Differs, to some she's light, others she's brown.

She's in the middle

She’s light... just not high yella! She like most other woke light skin people just doesn’t want to be put in a box or resents the negative connotation that comes with being light skinned.

Me and her are relatively the same shade. At worst close to each other and I'm considered brown/lightbrown. So to some she maybe seen to.

This differs on person, to some she's light to others she's light brown/caramel

Meh.

And I'm sure she and other Black Biracials are losing sleep over your opinion

 

[Virtuous_Brotha]

[WaveGang]

Hoe babble

 

[Negro Caesar]

[Kilgore Trout]

Will Smith is the darkest you can be to be considered light skinned

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

People gotta stop caring about what people say about them
