It’s been a little minute since our last audio hug podcast episode. So when I saw Amber Rose on Shannon sharpes most recent episode discussing her biraciality & relationship to black culture I thought, lemme go talk to my homies about this 😇

I’m not in community with Black-white biracial people much anymore (I went to a school for the children of the elite class on a Caribbean island), but my experience is that their political beliefs are only incidentally pro-Black by way of liberal multiculturalism. But that’s clearly a function of who their parents are.

My mom is white and my dad is Black same situation w my wife and we were born and raised in a very white country, we both identify as Black. I personally am not even a fan of the term biracial, because in my opinion if you’re Black, you’re Black. You can’t be ‘half’ discriminated, even though obviously colourism plays an important role too. I get where you’re coming from and watching Amber say that made me… uncomfortable to say the least. Like wtf do you mean girl.. maybe it’s cause I don’t know what it means to be white passing. On a side note, I adore my mother and all, but there is a huge gap between us because she doesn’t understand the experience the rest of our nuclear family is going through and it’s hard for me to picture how you can identify with ‘whiteness’ and white uncles or whatever (who are racist btw!) in the same way as your Black family. And don’t get me started on white people food…🫣

Somewhat off topic but I get told me and Amber favor (we really don’t I just also have short blonde hair and a big ass) but I remember this one time this like 80 year old white lady kept saying I reminded her of someone and it turned out to be Amber Rose. I was gonna say that at first but I assumed she wouldn’t know who that was. I didn’t know Amber was famous enough for geriatric rural white people to know her so I was shocked 💀

Biracial here. I like how you treated this topic - you acknowledge the raised concerns of prominent biracial people with a certain phenotype while explaining why they may feel that suspicion from monoracial people. Based on discussions with my husband (monoracial black man) and your earlier comments, biracial people aren't unique in undergoing a certain vetting. One thing I do wish is that we would pause before using race or skin-tone to explain deviant behavior, though. For example, when I called Child Protective Services on my abusive mom, I was seen as trying to escape a black experience of being disciplined in an authoritarian way to live with my (mixed, but white presented and upper middle class) father. I know these issues are intertwined with a whole lot more than race and color (and I'm absolutely willing to dismantle racism, colorism, and the systems that led to them), but some felt like unless I was willing to be under that hierarchy, I wasn't black. I had a lot of anti blackness myself at the time, so I'm not blameless. It just didn't help. Done ranting

The thing biracial people tend to not understand is that it's not about blood quantum, it's about their proximity to power that has been and continues to be weaponized against monoracial Black people either by them or white supremacy using them.

I appreciate you bringing this up as a black east African. I have always wondered where people who look like me fell into place in black discourse colorism. I always felt semi-invisible in discourse surrounding blackness. I say semi cus I am still very much a black person and many black experiences are very relatable to me but lack the ethnic/cultural nuances addressing the experiences of a foreign nigress like myself.
