Because these biracial women know for damn sure they are not part of the Black race and they're taking up space in the Black community to be elevated due to their proximity to whiteness. Why must DSBW and unambigious Black women be erased to please the public? Everybody stay imitating Black women. Honestly all three women could have been on the track. It is ridiculous because white women and other races of women stay on code but Black women be caping and playing mule. Kmt

I found the original song and its just as fire. Jorja cannot replace the original singer. Amia makes the first video and has her visuals locked in history. And Enny has so much skill it's impossible to look past her. Out of respect the Amia should be brought back in. The song is about a bunch of black females with different skin tones. Let's not create division where none is needed. The song bangs hard and the women are top notch artists. Keep up the work sistahs.

The black woman (especially our darker melanated queens) is always leveraged in a very subtle way and often times it’s so subtly done it goes over our heads. It’s by the world, our own community and I asked myself the question, “can we address the divide by just saying there are different shades of black to spark unity when the reality is the divide exists bc of the obvious tiered placements of the black shades in society”. Enny tried to address something that she clearly didn’t think all the way through and it’s sad she doesn’t get that.

There's so much to say about this Eloho, and you're such an inspiration for doing the hard work of starting a conversation/forum like this for KZfaq audiences. As a mixed race, Canadian woman who's family is from the Caribbean, I think that race is more polarizing in America especially compared to Canada or the UK. It's unfortunate that due to the extreme racial inequalities, it's so much harder for black women especially, who are consistently ignored and deemed irrevelant by the larger white society. It's insidious, and something to be mindful of not replicating. Coming from a racially fluid place, like the Caribbean, and a more tolerant city, like Toronto, I dont have the same relationship to race- if we agree to colonial, superficial standards of where the line of blackness begins and ends, we are agreeing to be divided as a group of black people according to the lines colonialist have drawn- I think we can be a true rich, tolerant tapestry, that doesn't create borders based on superficial constructs. I can only speak for myself, and although I am part Indian I have always felt mostly black because of the ignorance of society's understanding of race. I have felt marginalized as a black woman, and I understand what that can do to someone; I feel warmth and love and solidarity with black people, (and people in general), and I agree with Enny that that experience cannot be negated based on my skin colour, because we should not turn around and oppress/exclude other people as we were oppressed, especially when we have a shared experience. There is also the larger problem of the modern simplification of race, and whiteness and blackness, (especially in America); they are short cuts to consolidate a lot of unknowns regarding family trees and migration, and people in general don't have to agree to these limitations. As for the artists, they don't have as much control over these decisions, so the real question is about for me is about the decision Colours and the label came to to remove the beautiful Amia, and unfortunately I think it comes down to both marketing and label representation. I think having 3 of them, Amia in the middle perhaps, would have been visually amazing, but I think unfortunately there is a bias against too much representation at one time. So, I think as people of colour, we need to create the situations to see change by starting our own labels, and becoming the people who make those decisions. And most importantly by speaking with our likes and views. The most crucial thing is that while it is easy to return the hate we receive, we should not agree to do this according to super imposed colour lines. Race or colour has never a barrier to me forming bonds with other black women, dark or light, and it would be so alienating to add black that to the list of communities that don't accept me based on superficial reasons. It's important to call these things out, and make change, but it is also to important to lead with positivity, and not tear ourselves down from within. The black diaspora is a generous inclusive space, and the larger world can be as well. We don't have to agree to be in super imposed silos. It would be fantastic if Enny, Amia, and Jorja did their own remix apart from colours and put it up. Of course they'd have to really feel it, because they all seem like generous artists who wouldn't do something they're not invested in. I would love for them to even chat about this with us, their fans- this topic makes for a rich discussion for sure.

The problem is that colorism is real and is a real problem. Us dark women need to stop buttering up mix or biracial races when it benefits them. 5 months in and colorism shows (ENNY and Amia version of song still at 2 million views while the version on COLORS with Jorja has 12 million views. If that's not evident enough idk what is. ENNY song preaches that dark skin women need to be treated equally and it's sad and pathetic that biracial women like to act and represent us dark skin women when it gets them to where they want to be. It's in come sense fake representation. Being realistic, mixed and biracial black girls don't go through the same struggles like us dark dark skin black girls, so it's unfair for light skin to be the representation of us dark skin in the media. I mean bless up to the few dark skin women in media that we do have but truth is we need more dark black skin women representing.
@willjackson65223 жыл бұрын
Tbf, Colors is a large platform that can bring a lot of attention to artists. So, the version on the Colors channel having more views kinda makes sense. And even then, Jorja is a lot more well-known and mainstream than Amia is, so would naturally bring a lot more attention. I agree that biracial people being represented as black is an issue, but presenting this as a way of putting DOWN biracial people, instead of lifting UP black people I believe is a wrong approach. Again, I agree that biracial women don’t go through as many struggles as darker skin women do, but it’s sort of being flipped to say that biracial women have no say at all in the matter and that they experience NONE of the same struggles. This is just wrong.

@Karmyn And Movies that whole “why do you care you’re light skin” question is because they don’t want you calling it out because they want that colorism sh!t to continue.

Queen you are absolutely right in all your points. The music industry is a crooked industry & they know exactly what they are doing. This is an Anthem to all of our Queens & the industry know exactly how to cause division amongst our people. I believe it was done intentionally not by the these Beautiful artists BUT by those in charge. All they think about is the Money. Enny is a straight up Queen and I pray to the Most High Yah that Enny will not allow the music industry to change her. Regardless of Jorga being mixed she belongs to us and she is our Queen. We can't allow the higher ups or the people above divide our people and treat any of our Queens as an outcast. I loved the video the video with Amia in it and to see our culture was a beautiful thing to see. Thank you for your breakdown on the situation. Much Love and Respect to all of our Queens. You are the standard of beauty. All shades of beauty. Shalom!!!

This song doesn't prove that biracial women erase DSBW, it proves that the people in positions of power in the INDUSTRY are erasing or minimizing DSBW in the media. Lets be specific here so that we can invoke Change. Too often biracial or lightskinned black women are given opportunities to be the primary representation of Black Women, which isn't fair (primarily done by men in this industry). Amia should have been kept on the song with Enny and add Jorja to catapult it. However, there are too many incredibly talented DSBW in music and entertainment that often go unnoticed or purposefully to the waist side that never get the opportunity to go mainstream, because they are not deemed "marketable" or "desirable" for record sells in the industry, due to archaic colorist ideologies. Thankfully, social media is giving underground artists more recognition to go mainstream but we still need to be cognized.

I remember Jorja did an interview about a year ago, she was asked about colorism. She literally laughed and said "People just love to hate on me, so idk", I was like GIRL WHAT?! They do not stand up for us, and it's a damn shame. If you want to get historical, yes we had the darkskin vs lightskin issue, HOWEVER, there were many white passing Blacks who purchased dark skin slaves so that they could free them. That solidarity has been lost!

Personal experience aside from the video which explains everything so well(sorry if i have errors). *Majority of the family on my fathers side are dark skin people. Aunts,grand parents uncles, cuzzos ect. My mother's side where her father is black and my moms side's grandmother is lighter with red hair. My mother is afro latina( and light skined) while my father is a dark skin man. I'm light with a huge pretty afro,big juicy lips and big nose. We are Puerto Ricans born and raised. I don't know if this has happend to lighter skinned black people but i have experienced racism my whole life. Where they have mocked my big lips "crispy bad hair" and big nose to the core. In Puerto Rico racism can be very brutal and even tho i'm lighter i have still...strongly.. experienced racism in my island. I have some cousins who are also lighter like me. I do have previlege on some ways but as a light skinned man in Puerto Rico,racism has been strong. I'm an almost 6 foot Puerto Rican man,shade like for example "Zendeya". This song (both versions) have really helped me in general,it has reached soul and cleared messages for me. I also have a brother who is a little darker than me,another one who is lighter and a sister who is like me,natural afro hair as well.
