When did she talk about it i wanna see
She was recently interviewed by I think business insider, someone then screenshot the article specifically that part where she says she's coloured SAn not black SAn the boom the entire thing started.
Nov 24, 2023·1 replyYeah, imma listen to actual South Africans on this topic, not American blacks projecting their experience onto something they're too lazy to Google
Nov 24, 2023·1 replyStabane101White people from South Africa call themselves African too all races here do because we, don't reach sis literally speaks Zulu and has some xhosa lineage her actively embracing it why would she be ashamed of that.
Ok, totally understand, thats my bad, being African is definitely not a specific race, more of a nationality. Im just saying, as the artist, its more important for Tyla to educate herself on black culture in America, then it is for her to try and re-educate black Americans on what the term "coloured" means in America.
We're African Americans, try to understand us so you can make better art for all.

black hedi slimaneconversations like this are so hard because people want to ignore this on one side
others want to ignore the legitimacy of people choosing to identify with names / identities that encompass all of the history that makes them them.
you can’t ignore the reality of racism, but you also cannot force people to identify as black when at the end of the day, they simply are not all black.
same issue is kicking the latino community in the ass and honestly i don’t think there’s one right answer for how someone should or can identify
i like to be loud and proud of my puerto rican heritage, but at the end of the day, i navigate the world 100% as a black man. the history of puerto rico as a U.S colony means that most of us who are generations deep are completely assimilated. the elderly population of P.R is dying, many young people moving to the U.S, many gringos moving in…
the sad reality is that it’s imperative for puerto ricans, island born or not, to identify as puerto rican first, and not american black / white / indigenous, because very very few of us are 100% any one race.
Sometimes I wonder how it would be if Americans had this mindset of identifying as American first before being white/black/asian or whatever. Like you only see white dudes really repping the flag. From the outside looking it it seems like Brazilian niggas claim their flag heavy.

She can go back to South Africa, and sell her music specifically in South Africa, if she feels the need to call Americans "wrong". Why do artist feel like the consumer has to bow to them?
Nov 24, 2023X7JQ9L2MF4A8Z…that’s not even remotely comparable…
How is it not?
