Actress and singer, Keke Palmer was on the cover of Vixen Vibe magazine. During her Interview with the magazine, she talked about her history and the black culture. See more photos and read what she wrote after the cut..
I truly am thankful for this interview. The journalist, Marjua Estevez, truly took time to get my story across and I feel so much gratitude for that. I would like to say as I've continued and will continue my journey on knowledge of self that I have learned that while some are, not ALL blacks are "African American". Let me explain, some blacks are native to the American land such as "Native Americans". We all know that all humans came from Africa at first and moved all everywhere else developing different appearances and cultures. Through research I'm learning that the idea that ALL BLACKS in America were slaves is simply not true. Just as Angela Basset says in "Jumping the Broom", "My ancestors weren't slaves, they owned slaves." I remember during TJVP my white teacher tried to tell me also that some blacks owned slaves. The idea had hurt me so that I immediately decided she was a racist and putting the blame on other blacks. As I've grown and gained more knowledge I realized how great of a "gag" it would be if someone could use a phrase and a skin tone to control a people's psyche by creating emphasis on only one part of history. If you assume simply because of the color of your skin that you should carry only ONE side of your cultural AMERICAN history that falls under the ideology of what it means to be an "African American", I wonder how you would perceive your life and your possibilities 🤔. That would be like a Korean person taking on the history of a Japanese person simply because they have similar features. I'm reading .. I'm learning .. I'm questioning .. I'm processing. Thoughts?

Joke: confused.com?
A lot of West Indians and Black Americans are as ignorant as Keke Palmer on their ancestry. Black History should be taught in high school and secondary school for starters or even in Primary School. Keke should get her DNA done if she wants to find out if she is from Africa or not and stop miseducating people.
It does not matter where you really come. Let by gone be by gone. What you make of yourself and how you treat people is what really matters. Some black people are even claiming that Africans enslaved their ancestors therefore they 'hate' Africans.
Shut the fuck up
Please define bad life...miss/Mrs standing boobs
Wow you think people's breast fall because of bad life.you did not think that God greater us differently. Have you not seen a prostitute(whom we shouldn't judge) that her breast hasn't fallen. Why do we women be the first to bring each other down and then cry that men do not respect us. What we think of people is what people think about us.
spoilt brat see how ur boobs are falling jus keep copying riri
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
If e go pain u go do ur own interview
What about her ancestors ancestors? Did they drive themselves to America? Were they not slaves before they started owning slaves. Whatever she says doesn't make her less black. She is a black as any African. Self inflicted delusion.
Black/African Americans are one group that think they are super superior to any African.
Maybe her ancestors never wore clothes too... Maybe there mammary glands fell before they clocked 30.... Maybe you shut up and put some clothes on
Beech!! Is it your business!?? Though I blame her for always being exposed!! But please Beech,notice something good for once... Those books are better than your face. Bitchy!!
Never seen her dressing like a human being.
I'm confused. So where did she say her ancestors owned slaves. She quotes Angela Bassett's character in a movie and says it would be a gag to be able to say that. You no be journalist sha, Linda...
She always have an opinion
the headline is misleading. she never said so, she was quoting someone else
I'm getting KOLO by the day! KOLO loading!
Which curriculum are they going to use to teach that Black history when none of them can agree to one story..everyone saying and teaching their kids their own version as it suits them buhahaha confusion is the beginning of community issues!
Drugs and alcohol if u wanna know does that to their looks and body.
Can't believe this is the same supposed smart kid in "Akeelah and the Bee" Smh
