are you facing a challenging dilemma in your life right now the dilemma is a new jubilee show and
we're looking for people who are seeking advice willing to be vulnerable and anonymously sharing
their dilemmas on camera click on the link in the description below and share your dilemma what are
we ranking it off right now look i'm like one or two no count really yeah i'm black bro for real
if you had to rank yourself against others based on a specific trait what would it say about how
you see them and how they see you to find out we brought together seven people and had them rank
each other based on perceived blackness then we had them complete a dna test so we could
compare the results this is ranking what makes someone black being black is just you identifying
yourself as a black person and realizing that you do have plights and experiences that can sometimes
make life harder for you i think someone who is darker in general is going to have a different
experience than someone who's light-skinned and that's going to constitute how they walk through
the world and their blackness doesn't affect how you see yourself but it does reflect how the world
yeah yeah i agree i know for a fact there are experiences that i'm never going to experience
because i am lighter that's something that i've acknowledged my whole life but also
having a mother who is much darker you know we go out in public and i see how they treat her
and i feel you know the same rage but i know that i'll never experience it myself especially
for me being down in orange county where it's predominantly white people when it comes to white
people it's more like okay you're one of us but there's a little inkling of darker skinned people
who will look at me and kind of tell like okay you're not just white you're mixed with something
my mom's side they always make fun of me you sound like a white person
i don't use african american vernacular not that that is what makes a black person um you
can be very well spoken i feel like i just like switch it up like if i'm around you know life
i'm like oh hey how are you like i speak differently for sure a hundred percent
because yeah yeah yeah so coaching is me i definitely feel that though because like
it's like it's kind of second nature because you go home you're like you have your people
and then you go to school it's like you kind of have to like switch it up just in order
to even be like accepted and even like get certain treatment from your teachers yeah
like i didn't really feel like i fit in anywhere because i was cool with the white kids i was cool
with the black kids i was cool with every like nationality but i felt like in order for people to
take me serious i had to put on like professional maybe because people would look at vernacular like
you said and look at it as unprofessional or you know yeah being around some white crowds like i
definitely feel like i had to you know reserve parts of myself just because i felt like i was
being judged like they could clearly tell you're not like just white and i think that's why i've
stayed so far away from being around white people and why i do kind of have you know that kind of
like i don't really know you like that like you know just because i don't like feeling like that
i fully expect to be at the end of the line me too
i definitely came into it looking at the physical features first i'm gonna make my way down here
like i'll switch with you actually come on come on i might switch off too no no no y'all too yep
the three of us we we have one white parent one black parent right we're both my parents
are black both your parents black okay they just happened to be the two like brightest that got
together you know i did think of him like oh he's biracial then he said he had two black parents and
i was like huh she and i i kind of want to switch between us okay hear me out i feel like hair is
also a big part in that you know and my hair is very white like i have white texture hair like
the thin straight like there's no nothing to my hair i see what you mean because usually
if i straighten my hair the texture just does change a little and then i appear to be more
caucasian what are we ranking it off right now looks are we going off is it basically right now
because i would put myself but like i feel like one more i think i'm like one or two no count
really yeah i'm i'm black brother real like i'm black for real it don't look
like my sword of god i'm black i mean as far back as i can go bros black yeah
the reason why i feel like i'm here is because my mom and dad are both reaching so like i know where
you know where we stem back from so i feel like that's why i feel like i can be here
that's valid i think that's very bad yeah that's super valid i was more sure about my my dna than
the rest of them i think i feel like i'm right here on the low i think i'm where you should be
really why tell me why i because wrong but i don't know i just i have a feeling yeah okay
i disagree with that feeling it's only based off you know like literally just based off
skeptics because i don't know what else i'd rank at all right i feel like eye color you
look like yeah i have light i have light i have very light eyes black is a nice guy no
explanation that's what i'm saying there's got to be some drop in there it's so deep in there though
like what do you have that he doesn't have yeah i got the same hair texture as you said
same hair texture eyes dark as hell i was low-key slightly gaslighting to try to be second so i was
talking about his colored eyes everything like oh it's me bro i would go one two three three four
four four all right okay why'd you put yourself in the middle so you could get a good thing honestly
i told you i wanted a good shot of myself they're trying to put you in the middle that's what it is
i don't know i don't i don't think she's not little i don't
think she's in the middle of the show it's like he in the middle
bro i think you're in the middle bro i'm not gonna lie okay no that's fine
you're getting sick to be crazy bro no don't do it like that bro i have a call that's some questions
somebody cheated somebody not bro i don't know the confidence it's the confidence as
well yeah she knew where she at yeah i agree the confidence is very convincing yeah and
but like i've definitely encountered a lot of black people who are 100 black with very fair skin
so it's like it's not like it's impossible you know like people say like oh no we're not basing
off skin color that's outdated but you saw what they were like well they were trying to put me
in the middle i think we should do some cultural like stuff yeah some experiences okay if that's
the case then i'm not here i can't be here wait it's weird then yeah yeah you can see what i'm
saying but that's a part of blackness i don't mean like genetically blackness yeah it still does yeah
your experience yeah hundred percent cause i could have been raised in some random video
every single white person ever and be completely different it's this environment like i don't think
it matters because i mean we spit in a little thing like that has nothing to do with me i'm so
yeah but then the villain is like we don't know each other's genes we only know
ours yeah so we have to base it off of something that we can all agree on experience shapes our
blackness how it's seen by the rest of the world regardless like your dna can say one
thing but how you experience and go through the world it's kind of completely direct i like that
it's just it's a factor i have a question to define your blackness do y'all keep plastic bags
when your mom called you to take the chicken out the freezer when did you do it never yeah
learning that no matter how much black we had in us we had common experiences uh
community and things like that i think that was really cool what's up with some
black stuff oh y'all i'll tell you your spaghetti you put brown sugar in it come
on now use it brown sugar spaghetti i don't know what oh my gosh take it to the right
no that's a black thing bro brown sugar spaghetti trust me bro yeah no i've personally never heard
of that maybe white sugar you know i'd rather eat dirt i don't know if that's like a common
black thing it's like my mistake but i feel like we locked in okay that brown no i i almost i had
the plight but i'm like you know what she probably the second blackest but then she said brown sugar
that's a black thing bro brown sugar aside i think she should stay low-key yeah i would
i would leave it i never heard about brown sugar anymore i'm kind of torn i might switch them to
and then we'd be cool just for that i'm not mad at it i mean i guess i would still switches
wayne do you know anything about your background and stuff both my great-grandparents is
uh caucasian wait we're interested okay wait a second my great-grandparents i have a great
grandmother who's alive and black like she's a black woman oh no no no i'm like her name karen
for real they were talking about the brown sugar kind of put me in the middle and the homeboy great
grandparents not even full black like we got to take we got to change this something has to
change that thing look my great grandparents are both black both sides i think y'all should switch
yeah jocelyn go ahead yeah look at y'all i'm basing me on my skin color no but wait no
younger too what about your grandchildren there you go back to how we were right based
on my skin color i'm sure they didn't have any indication that i might have white in my dna
i think this is drinking i think this is the closest we've yeah i think so accurate
were the two people whose results did not come in again okay of course wow
i'm going to call out the order of the people i do have so jonathan 89.6 oh that's high yeah
yeah i have black because it's high yeah so color dies do not matter at all because that
boy black and then wayne 67 wow and then steve 56.5 percent yeah that's being right next to me
39.3 whoa
it's giving very i'm rocking my mark because mark rocking with us you know
you are freaking african-americans plus mark
i'm gonna say 98 actually just in case cause you said 89 and then 67 right yeah i think that's
that's a good 20 something percent you two fall in between the 20-something percent i feel like
we got everything else right like i feel like we did it oh god i guess i kind of disagreed with
what our final ranking was i wanted to switch with jocelyn because i just felt it uh the first thing
that stood out to me the most was probably jocelyn jocelyn jocelyn i'm going to start with serena
who's not here but she is in the correct spot she's at ninety nine point eight percent oh wow
two true blood right there then jocelyn is coming in at 75.8
oh we were so close that puts her right after wayne that means jonathan you're actually second
so i don't i listen jonathan hasn't messed up i thought it was interesting like
she was very confident about it yeah i just think her confidence in the fact
of who she is is really admirable there's no one right way to be black
and just because she might not have had the same experiences as other black people
or have more melanin than other black people like i don't think that invalidates her blackness at
all i know i don't know y'all like that but a few days after we shot i found out i was pregnant so
thank you
