Yeah, it was the old “she’s got Indian in the family” and I”m pretty sure it’s a white person who has no understanding of why people said that or how commonly it was a family story and how rarely it was true...also, white ppl like to think that all of us re 100% African and that biracial ppl are some kind rare blend.

She was not biracial. Not at all. You are just making up lies. And in her day, no one said black, they said Negro or Colored.

It’s funny that these ppl think Mildred Loving actually came from anything other than a Black family. I saw the documentary and she recited the family’s belief that they were “part Indian”. These white ppl have decided that means she is actually Black and Native when in reality she had no proof she was Native American…

So you guys know that black women have been having mixed race babies for 500 years. When you all talk about interracial relationships, the only thing that has changed is that a)people can legally marry and b)black men can now have sex with white women. One thing that annoys me with this topic is that it someone is…

Actually it was. The first time he met her, she was 11 and he was 17. He was fucking her when she was really young. It’s disgusting bullshit totally wrapped up in the idea that black women sexually mature early and honestly, this is how a LOT of recent racial admixture occurred, although it’s something no one talks…

That to. She met him when she was 11. I was always turned off by their story after I learned that part.

Thank you. I’m Black American and it isn’t lost on me. There is another biracial black British actress who reminds me a smidge of Sade who is another who falls in this category. If Gabrielle Union and Nia Long crossed the pond and started getting all of the work on BBC I’d understand if you guys wondered when you’d…

She was a black american woman who wasn’t biracial. And we have a right to “complain” about how we are represented and not be told to shut up.

They are being dense and trying to make Mildred Loving a special exotic black to make up for Hollywood once again missing a chance to use a black American woman. Aasha Davis from Pariah would have been a good choice. But you know, they like to pretend that everyone except biracial women, Zoe Saldana, and Beyonce are…

No, she was Black American and any racial admixture was the same shit that all of us have. She wasn’t a biracial woman. Both of her parents were black.

I think they’d made it law in Hollywood.

I actually care about it as a Black American woman. You may not, but yeah, it matters.

I wish they had. It’s interesting how (and this is pretty common), they tend to use biracial black and non American actresses instead of black American women for almost everything. And the usual argument of “we need a name” clearly cannot be used here.

One of my friends moved to Seattle and the white ppl in the condo building keep harassing her about why she is there. Serious microagressions and she’s had men demand that she tell them her unit number.

What I think looks crazy is that the dress does make it look like she just rolled in from clubbing. Like a sundress would not look weird to me. This just looks tacky.

Thank you. I was like, so no one is going to call her out for claiming she’d be a beautiful black woman when her ass isn’t exactly what anyone would call a beautiful white woman. It’s like when LD said she’d be hot in Detroit. Bish whet? While they do get put on by color struck MOC, WW need to have a seat assuming…

I’m waiting for someone to call out Joy for saying that she’d make a beautiful African woman. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t say she is a beautiful white woman so why does she think she makes a beautiful African one.

I was wondering if it started with the ripped blazer or if that was a consequence. Maybe someone spilled someone else’s mint julep?

I find that there is a certain kind of blond white girl that definitely gets worshipped and the only thing annoying about it is that the assumption is that all other people (including those of us who aren’t white and dont’ care about white beauty standards) are somehow jealous haters if we don’t agree. Nothing about…

She’s a white woman so the fact that she is being an asshole gets applauded here.
