Love to my nonwhite people everywhere regardless

This such a golden opportunity for her to raise awareness and i know she will but look at the material when she decided to. A whole mess

I feel that

American cultural export has led to the world thinking every racial convention is just white/black etc etc etc etc

OP, these are different labels you are trying to force into unison, it's unnecessary and Cumbersome, as long as her music is blooming, I don't expect her to bore niggas with "I'm actually colored" interjections, let her rock out

Oh my word dude im a black african, She is a coloured african how did you come to your conclusion

That goes both ways, there is a reason why Americans are having the reaction that they're having to hearing this woman call herself "colored"

but we are talking about black ppl here black people call anyone black here too that includes indians and coloureds too.

How does that change the fact that there’s American r&b type chord structures/progressions and jazz solos in the music lol

The way I see it, America is still in a state where white people dictate s*** on some white supremacist s***

That include race and how you get treated because of your race

We can argue about biracial people or the shade of melanin you have, but if white people just recognize you as black, they will discriminate you as such

how did you come to your conclusion

This entire thread lmao

COLOURED PEOPLE HAVE THERE OWN HERITAGE THAT IS EXCLUSIVE TO THEM CALLING THEM BLACK MAYBE THE SAME AS CALLING THEM ASIAN, EUROPEAN, KHOISAN AND ARAB

He would be considered coloured here but in terms of being just mixed but not in terms of heritage so in American standards he is black tyla (NO)

Hence culture intercepting

The world isn't ready for the topics in this thread to be discussed seriously, hence the s***flinging from both sides. I'm surprised she's willing to use that term though, considering it has considerable stigma. "Coloured" is a weird term to begin with since it implies that not being pink/"white" makes you not normal. It's a relic of a racist recent past 300 years or so.

Race is mostly meaningless and a also a social construct anyway. As proven by the ever moving boundaries of what is defined as white (Irish and Italians weren't considered white in American until recently). Are people with albinism counted as black? These questions will get different answers since race is made up by people to justify discrimination, looting and othering. Ethnicity is what is real.

When I'm sitting in a room of black men, I don't go thinking, "oh I'm in a room full of black men wow, look at us". I think, I'm Jamaican, Muhammed is Nigerian and Muslim, Jerome is ethnically Ghanian and Abel is Ethiopian (lol). And we all have our own unique cultural backgrounds, but we also have the unique tying factor of being visually brown skinned, so to most people we're thrown into the bucket of "black". So we experience life similarly in many ways too.

Please don't start that one, do not open that hell gate if you have no awareness of the South African electronic music scene, don't.

You just typed this huh?

IN AMERICA

I think nobody will care unless she says “im not black”

But it will sound better if she said im not just black im also etc. etc.

The feature made no f***ing sense.

Ask him when we getting season 2 bro

Someone who looks like Tyla would be considered black in America. And many Americans that look like her would consider themselves black.

That’s why this conversation is so polarizing. Y’all can educate niggas on your dynamics over there and many people like me are understanding and accepting of it but the problems start when y’all get on here and try to vilify black Americans.
