Drake would've won that beef against Push if he just said he was "coloured"

Maybe stop being so damn self centered and respect that other places have different value and different classifications of things

Here is the thing we know it has negative context in America but to say that she is distancing herself from her blackness by saying she's coloured which she is and she's not black which she isn't, how does that sound to you. Then the appropriation debacle, then the expectation of her accepting that she's black in America when she isn't. Is that calculator responding.

I respect it, i understand what your saying completely. But she wants to come to America and call herself coloured in a room full of black people

But she's a pop artist, diddy's debacle isn't under life is it

I've been saying she's not black my God lord jesus

She still black

Imagine if Obama called himself "coloured", he would not have won that election

Black was also created by the colonizers not black people so this stands.

and??

i don’t understand why people get so bent out of shape about how other people choose to identify. if this mixed girl wants to be called mixed/coloured, then i don’t see the issue

But she is omg they may feel some type of way but she's coloured.

give me a chance tyla

Idc anymore, she has her audience for this type of stuff, peace out

She is as black as she is Asian as she is European as she is Arab so when travels to these places she has to she's what they comfortable with instead of who she is boy please she isn't black

He's from America not SA

He is American

In reference to your other example given on this page, Drake is Canadian

They were socialized in a specific area of the world in which that term's usage is frowned upon, whereas in Tyla's birth country it has a specific meaning

Comparing two North Americans to a South African makes literally no sense unless you're just trying to get jokes off rn

She gonna check white on her Census, before she checks black

mods lock other threads quicker but leave ignorant s*** like this up

man you cant make this up

You serious? Lol

This my last time responding to you.

Whatever tyla wants to be called is fine. What isn't fine is you using using her identity to push a common racist stereotype which is that african americans are uneducated and couldn't name 5 african countries.

As someone who claims to be a "black african" you should understand that seeing how black African were seen as the african americans of south africa

How are you guys not getting this, like how and yall don't want to call her what she is because you not comfortable then not call her AFRICAN because you assume she's ashamed of her African roots but want to call her something she's not by force. Make that make sense.

Nice, a revenge thread

I get what you're trying to get at, but they would definitely be calling her Black in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East lol and likely be racist af to her the same way they are to Black people

I understand the stance, in South Africa, she considers herself "coloured" I get it. African Americans can take it or leave it, but to call herself "coloured" in America, as far as her image goes, is just saying she's not black(which she has confirmed).

Hate it or love it, you have to respect it, but im not a fan of the phrase.
