Tyla pleads the 5th about coloured Vs Black on the breakfast club. Her PR person jumps in.

[Geode]

He did. He was better prepared.

Also his story is a more simplified. He is biracial.

I don't know what this young lady's family background is. Also not bothered by it. Can't make a her definition of ethnicity or race fit into a (AA) culture she's not a part of.

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

You literally just repeated my point but with a bunch of needless analogies

Cmon, be nice

 

[Apprentice]

And before this thread pop off I gotta say this really isn’t an important topic at all

 

[Nabs]

I wish this could be a teachable moment from people like Charlamagne (on how race is a social construct, and how SA developed a racial caste system), but he tried to hit her with the gotcha. Oh well.

 

[Doobie Doo]

I read an article she already answered the question before

Then she should've READ what she wrote or she could've been a smart azz and told them to read what she said in the article.

Understand when it comes to radio, silence is like the worst shyt you can ever do. SOMETHING, ANYTHING is better than silence. For her PR to step in, it makes her look unprepared and naiive.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Cmon, be nice

I mean, how you wrote that long post making the same point and end with “hope that makes sense” like you just schooled me

 

[GreenGhxst]

You know people will still jump on here no matter how she said it

You understand that right?

I understand that clarity is important and looking back at another person will never sit well with me

I personally don't care but that's not how you bring clarity

Are you above simplifying and explaining

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

She's a real industry plant. I don't fukk with her

We’ll see how the people react but I don’t really expect people to care

I agree wit u tho they coulda took other routes

 

[Canon]

PR person jumping in mid interview is wild stuff

 

[F*ckthemkids]

You angry at me or are you going to point out if anything i said was incorrect?
negged
All i did was explain how it works over here.
but if i were to address how they do it, my opinion is they aint slick. you don't create a new race just by mixing two different ones.
You are just a member of more than one race. You would be black and white. Trying to distinguish your mixed blood as something distinctly its own group is only done by people trying to deny their african ancestry. Nobody who is half asian and half white is calling themselves coloured.

My brotha it's much more complex than that. It's not simply one generation of mixed kids denying one side or the other. This is generations of structured procreation. It's like the Pardo people in Brazil... You wouldn't call them black, but they have African Ancestry in various degrees.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

I figured you wouldn't have a way to validate your point. Just mad
simply saying you don't understand how they do it, is a deflection tactic not an explanation for anything, and is also making the assumption we don't already know and simply disagree. Which is actually the case.

Breh, these definitions been in place for a century now. Latin countries have multiple definitions of groups as well such as moreno, mestizo, pardo etc. You sound entitled AF to be telling them they’re doing something wrong or denying heritage because they don’t subscribe to the US’s racist definitions.

 

[How Sway?]

In most parts of Africa light-skinned mixed people are just seen as simply mixed/half-caste/mullato.

some even consider them to be just WHITE.

But only Americans being as self centered as they are expect everybody to their concept of racial categorization.
