Smacked VoodooI 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
Not in all those places trust not in all, she could go to the middle east and a lot of parts in Asia and be considered one them. Also in alot of parts of Europe too.

And she would be considered middle eastern and Asian in those regions cause she's coloured, not black. If she was black, she could never

bigbeltsThis 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
The last part is definitely not true at, high cap, black Africans are considered the African American of SA 💀 that is goddamn lie wow.

"Pass laws and apartheid policies prohibited Black people from entering urban areas without immediately finding a job. It was illegal for a Black person not to carry a passbook. Black people could not marry white people. They could not set up businesses in white areas. Everywhere from hospitals to beaches was segregated. Education was restricted. And throughout the 1950s, the NP passed law after law regulating the movement and lives of Black people"
We know the history of south africa dumb b****. What you think apartheid was lmao

Nov 24, 2023·2 repliesgnarlynastyI 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.
Idk it’s weird to me because even in America we have so many words to describe people that are mixed…”blasian” “mulato” etc.
Considering the history behind it here it’s understandable to look at it and feel a way but to go as far as calling her and anyone out there that choose to identify that way anti-black is wrong.
Being that this is more common out there in SA than here I don’t think it’s fair to just get on her about the fact that she knows and appreciated her ancestry. She spent more time in the videos talking about her African heritage than anything.
The outrage over the word seems to be misplaced since it’s not just something she made up to be quirky, it’s how people identify themselves.

Boy you said black Africans not black South Africans there's a difference. Smh. Don't tell me apartheid I know very well about probably more than you.
I know about the pass laws, I know about the bantu education act. Ik all about it, and i know very well how we were framed but know that's not the case at all because the biggest problem we face rn is financial but not intellectual.With this tyla situation black folks were responding to this but weren't willing to listen to giving dumb responses even when corrected. I'm looking at this as the entire American education system not the individual race itself because it's not designated that way now the lack of understanding that things work differently elsewhere and not comprehending such one has to question. If you take it personally that's you, because all everybody has been saying is that she's black when she is not but are forcing to say that she is because she presents as such in America💀☠.

At this point, I can't do anything but respect it. But Mullato and Blasian are just phrases, most mixed people in America identify as black. I'm pretty sure thats whats on their government/social security, lets not get it twisted.

An intelligent man could have made the connection that we were talking about black south africans in... south Africa.
You are still harping on the tyla and not you using stereotypes about african americans by white people

If you were looking at it as the "entire american education system" you wouldn't have singled out african Americans and say they don't support other black groups and can't name 5 countries in africa.
That ain't got s*** to do with tyla but your hate for african Americans

You wouldn’t see an blasian or mulatto say they aren’t black though.
all I’m saying is there is more nuance than just being black or not.
And from what I saw that’s all she was describing when talking about her ancestry.
Like I got about as much Native American in my blood running through me as African as well as other things and I identify as black but would it actually be accurate to my full make up?
Just because the one drop rule said that’s how it is all those years ago?

Bro in SA if you say black Africans that's automatically assumed as black foreign nationals. I'm keeping it in the Tyla situation because this is what this thread is about.

I understand that but phrase or not we definitely use different identifiers out here that they probably don’t use out there, for obvious reasons.
What does a SA census look like? I’m curious lol

We seen so many times being asked to name African countries there and people failing to do so, failing to spot and name European countries, don't know where the equator is located. Folks from there thinking the entire world shares the same season times. Failing to comprehend simplest things, that does make your education system questionable to the world at large.
Nov 25, 2023gnarlynastyI 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
Fam she made a SA song that happened to cross over to American audiences. She wasn’t making American pop music. So this perspective that she needs to be the one to make changes is asinine. From a marketing and business standpoint sure, but from a personal one no not at all..

Have you read the things people were retweeting and commenting on this, matter I'm sure you would question your people too.
This thread has always been about tyla but ppl were saying she's black when she isn't, with all the information I provided I'm pretty sure they didn't read or watch it and I was just responding to messages, also these types of videos where people are asked to name countries is out there to watch for entertainment 💀 - Nov 25, 2023·1 replyStabane101

Once again, you singled out african americans, not Americans. If you are ignorant to why an african american would take offense with you saying that then just say that.
The world view of africa isn't all that respectable either but i would never use it as a generalization for africans because i am educated enough to know better

Where in this reply did I say black Americans, I specifically said the education system is questionable.

that alot of American black ppl dont even know what has happened and whats going on to black people outside of America, we seen this with lack of support of black causes internationally, when the rest of us pull up to support your causes.
