"The human race began with black women."

Jada gets triggered by blonde women yet dyes her hair blonde. SMH.

Imagine white woman talking in the terms that these woman are talking in. There would be a call for blood.

[bellebooth]

they talk about racism, but they’re racist themselves? How are we ever going to get equality and to END to racism if people talk like this. I am a white woman. I am in no way shape or form racist and actively campaign against it. However, by saying ‘all white people’ you are generalising a whole race. You simply CANNOT do that and expect your point to have any validity? Just real quick, watch this video and replace the word ‘black’ with ‘white’ and see how it sounds. This video would be taken down for racism. If we want equality, these pitiful double standards should not exist.

How can you be racist with kindness and consideration? Racism is racism and evil is evil.

My brother doesn't understand that this type of stuff with this famous of a person, influences racism.

[khalishasnest]

Yup that’s right !! Race is a concept (social construct) not an actual or at least that’s what my professor

Btw my mom raised my not to see color, that everyone was/is the same, I’ve always embraced people of all kinds of backgrounds, BUT as I got older and came into the real world I see that people really do see you as different because of the color of your skin. that’s a shame ain’t it ??

[garycobiak]

"There's no such thing as race. We all came from black women."lmao

[veronica-]

[kimmyball]

I would really like to hear more about this! Btw....her mother is beautiful!!

[kaseywatson]

I'm not a white women im a faded black person? 😬😂😂😂😂😂

[frummel]

Sorry for triggering you Jada! I sincerely apologise for having blonde hair. Lmao that's sad. But good for her for acknowledging her bias. I guess we all keep learning huh

[LarisaBayaMomo]

wtf are these women on about....the mom is blond...why...why not just rock proudly your god given dark hair. And shes light skined, so is Jada, and Jadas eyes are light. WTF! ???

[donkeydeck]

"I found out I have an unconscious bias against white women"
(5 minutes later)
"Feminism does too much for white women"

You think she's going to make the connection?

[denisestampley]

Smh, Blacks like Jada are still delusional in 2018. Talking hasn't done anything 400+ yrs later.

[irenakuki]

I'm so glad I live on a tiny island with only 150 000 pp and 56 different nationalities. We are so redicilously mixed that we use 4 languages even, nonstop ( 3 are official by the law even). We have way less drama than in the US and no one is walking on eggshells over every little thing regarding race & trying to be "politically correct". Just do normal.

[robertsellwood]

Its important to be proud of what u are i am ( im a handsome white working class guy) and i talk up my community not put others down

[tanmaxwell]

JADA directed THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES (2008) - one of my favorite movies about racism.

[Miscreance]

Ummmm CAN I HAVE Y’ALLS ANTI AGING SECRETS

[MS-rjdp]

This is interesting.... me, as a white woman, I don’t think about race but I also can understand a lot of what they are talking about. That said, I think “triggers “ and “prejudice “ are two separate things. I have epileptic seizures triggered by stress. I have figured that out through 40 years of never having my seizures controlled. And that is common for a lot of Epileptics. It’s something that is uncontrollable and you can’t pull yourself out of. Prejudice you know what to base it off of and you can work to overcome it. I think a lot of younger people (black or white) haven’t seen the aggressive hatred of race the way it use to be so I think a lot of it has to come with tradition and a lot of the women connection issues is because we as women want to be seen as “perfect” and not let our vulnerabilities show, not realizing that everyone has issues that run deep... whether it’s race issues, medical issues, sexual abuse issues... we need to come together and share our imperfections and help each other and understand each other better.
