She reminds me of a Barbie doll. Especially in the thumbnail. I don't mean plastic, I mean really beautiful.
I know she's beautiful
Agree 😍
Yeah, she’s ridiculously beautiful. She legit looks like a doll came to live. So pretty ❤️
Tika Sumpter is perfectly gorgeous tbh
She does look like a doll. She is so beautiful.
I love how she put all those books on the desk and hang up her university diompla.
lol diploma
I wish I had sturdied and got my diompla 😰

Heinrich Everson the correct spelling is “Hi whish”

“We did it without you” I would have been HEATED 😂😂
Still happens today...go figure
And then you would have been fired.
ArtemisScribe why? She didn’t say she’d do anything with the heat.
@@Ambereigh even if she did complain what's wrong with that? Isn't the STAFF supposed to be in the STAFF meeting?
sowhat I think your @ the wrong person
Funny how so many of us STILL do the most at work just to prove we belong and are still overlooked. Smh.
I hate when ur working and coworkers just goof of or create work drama .
Right? I was talking about this with a co worker.....its sad. We work 10x harder than white people and white people get to be mediocre
I'm not black but as a child of immigrants in Germany I can assure you that what you say is 100% true and can relate. It doesn't matter how hard you are working, it is never enough. I myself am actually someone who was just hired to be a quota and nothing more (even though my grades were better than those of my collegues). It really sucks:(
@@fischl2258 Thank you for that. I was hoping that others would see that "us" wasn't just black. I see it with other women of all races. Also, my manager is a gay white male. Extremely intelligent and more prepared than anyone in the room most times. He does the most to be noticed and advance and is overlooked. It's frustrating af that many get all the education and training and kill ourselves working hard and the ones in power don't notice or care because we aren't the stereotype of those typically in power. That's why we have to always work on owning our own businesses while we are working.
Not black, but I'm one of the youngest people working for my company and pretty high up the ladder. I'm 22 and I've been working since I was 16. I was promoted to a management position at 18. I work 10x harder than some of the older employees with my company and still get treated like a child. I've been passed over for a promotion due to "lack of experience" several times in my field, only to see an incompetent older male get the position and then get fired. Shit hurts.
What Bow said about Affirmative Action is actually true. The same can be said for Welfare. Even in 2019 people still believe that middle - lower class Black Americans make up a large percentage of welfare users but in reality middle - lower class White Americans are the large percentage of welfare users
This is accurate. Especially in the Southern states.
i never knew that...that it was created for white people
Isn't that only true because white are still the majority of the population compared to blacks. i'm no ecomist but i wonder what the percentage of people on welfare compare just using race percentage,
i mean just looking at blacks and white, what percentage is on welfare of the respective races
@UCmkNB4bHW_iixS-iZ4Irssw I never considered regional differences, in this made up investigation. Your right on it not mattering but i'm just the kind of person who wants to know the truth. For instants the truth is probably that more middle class white families are on welfare but i also know that whites are still the majority. So that number in relative comparison to everyone else could be skewed in some way
J.R. M and you can literally google this info! But they still lie.. bcz satans kids can’t tell the truth
I love the -ish shows, they teach while you watch and it's not so jarring while it's entertaining.
I agree.......and Ignore dumb Comments.....Some people have to find Chaos in any.....Little Thing
@@BOSSLADY-cu8vs the show ignores dumb comments?
@JONES Some people weren't taught or didn't give themselves reason to learn. Being aware of social issues like racism and its impact on society is something that, unless you're directly impacted by it, you have to cultivate your awareness of -- especially being that the secondary impact of racism in a society where racism is normalised is that you aren't aware it's racism in the first place. I'm saying this as a white British person -- racism works differently here, in that its history and impact is related to the American struggle, but with British imperialism, xenophobia and the Little Island isolationist mentality, applied in different ways. We have racism against people of colour (or BAME individuals (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic)), but also long-standing bigotry against Continental Europeans, political and social oppression of the Celtic nations (now the devolved countries of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and the county of Cornwall who have to answer to Parliament in England and allow their native languages and cultures to die out), and English Nationalism is its own bugbear. All that being said, we have to be aware of American racism because the UK still takes cues from the US on how it treats people of colour. I am not in any way defending the racism and bigotry of the UK in saying this, nor am I proud at all -- but to address it and change it, I have to own that it is a part of the social fabric right now.
@JONES Sadly, that's something that will take a lot to change. Black-ish and Mixed-ish tend to pitch their edutainment comedy to the white members of the audience (often with the children and Dre's white coworkers acting as audience incarnate) because otherwise the message would be lost by those who need to hear it most (because they don't understand the context yet). In general, studios and networks have a policy of pitching to the white audience, assuming that's the biggest portion, for profit and revenue -- and also because they believe that if it can appeal to white people, it can therefore appeal to everyone. It would take a lot of cajoling and trialling to make those networks see that shows aimed at black audiences can be appreciated by white audiences too and therefore wouldn't cause a loss in revenue. It's money, money, money at the end of the day.
What’s sad about this is that a lot of these scenarios play out today in the work force subtly ...
Bertha Kitt Very much so! I do like the show, I can’t relate to the experiences of a biracial person but I can relate to Alicia’s character. Something I couldn’t do with Bow on black-ish
Til this day..
Yes! I was looking at this and getting annoyed lol. Idk how I'm going to watch this show.
Bertha Kitt I’ve never seen this happen at any job where I’ve worked. The ceo of my company, a major health insurance company is a woman and many of the top level positions are held by women. The top level positions at my facility are held by women. Most of the managers at my center are women.
I have experienced this and honestly the best thing I could’ve done was to remove myself from the situation! This particular job wasn’t worth fighting for!
I recently left a job because of constant micro aggressions. And there was no one for me to complain to because there was no diversity or proper diversity training. So glad I got out of there.
Going through that now sigh..
SARA honestly, I really hope our generation does better.
My job just fired me without cause today and I was the only black person in that office...this shit is real and rediculous
Fay I’m so sorry that happened to you! You will bounce back. There are better places to work. Good riddance to them.
@@beew584 Could you expand on that? What types of micro agress.
I honestly like the grandfather from what I’ve seen.
FromTheSea yes he’s ridiculous and he knows it lol
Gary Cole is very good actor. Loved him in VEEP and in Brady Bunch movies.
I agree I think tika is the weakest link in the show
The grandfather is a douche but he's also funny as hell. Good characters make good comedy.
Yea he is the "my daughter in law is black" type of guy
LOOOOOOVVVVEEE HER OUTFIT (AND BEAUTY OF COURSE)..BUT MOSTLY HER OUTFIT..😀😁
She is gorgeous Njomane
@@2laniful Njomane?
@@sowhat... what is your question?
What's ironic is the grandpa invited Alicia to "Martini Tuesday" in an attempt to get her to connect with her colleagues and let them see her as "one of the boys". He was actually helping her, but she was so focused on trying to prove herself by her merits and hard work, that she didn't notice him trying to make it easier for her to be accepted. This is how wealthy people actually stay influential, by mentoring others and helping their relatives get connected and become part of the elite, upper class in society.
I appreciate that they didnt jump through hurdles to find an actress who's skin matches the mother on Black-ish but instead simply hired a solid, black, femalr actress
I wouldve taken that people knew he was my father in law 😭
Right, kiss my ass please 😂😂😂
Off topic, but wow she is stunning.
Glad they got a mom who fit the part cuz if the first mom was bows mom bow would be white as hell
I can’t be mad at him cause he is right!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah! I love this show so much!
Love this show!!! So many deep moments but entertaining as well.
I adore how she’s dressed!
Bows mom is soo pretty i cant stop staring when i watch the show
I feel for this girl it’s so hard working in a job where your the only minority
Sooo true
They had a meeting without her. Sad!
This a prime example of why we as black people have to work twice as hard to get half-as far. And I loved how she declined to do anything social with them, just keep it about business. This is a good example of being black in predominanly white businees environment. I never go to lunch or anything with my white co-workers, just keep it all about work. Good show.
Socializing helps in career, if you refusing to do so, no surprise you need to work twice as hard to get half-as far lol. You think this is all about race but maybe you just sucks at networking.
After just recently giving my exam on topic of diversity I finally understood what affirmative action meant
It's still a Mad Men world "Martini Tuesday and all that"
Jessica Victoria Carrillo so off topic but I love your profile pic. Ginger is so amazing
@@AngelLoveQuinnx Thanks!
I have genuinely seen you in a few comment sections, and I really love the fact someone out there is watching all the same videos as me. You’re rad as hell
Jessica Victoria Carrillo There’s always Wednesday martini 🍸 Lol
People gonna assume affirmative action😂😂😂
Love this show
I love this show
Tika 😍😍😍 I love her in everything.
Carol Mk she was on one of Tyler Perry the have and have not on OWN, has that been cancel or she is she doing both that and mix-ish?
"From all the Jazz Salts" lol sniff sniff
finally they call bi racials mixed and not black
Tawana Calamari the irony; they get to dominate Black spaces, while creating their own spaces that is sealed tight for them and only them
@@wantitwrite exactly, it's wrong.
Wow she’s grown sooooo much as an actress since OLTL!
This programme seems really good
She is so pretty
Love her ❤️
Did they explain why she ended up in a cult? She is an educated, strong & independent woman. So I find it hard to understand why she ended up in cult.
it sucks for her having to have to work hard just for the others to see that she does belong regardless of how she got the job :(
This show is going educate whites and blacks. I love it!!
right on!
Tika Sumpter is a gem.
❤️❤️❤️😩TIKA
I come from a country with almost no diversity and when I see someone different the only thing I feel is curiosity.
If they made me miss a important meeting no lie.Oh hell going to breack lose
God Tika is soooooo gorgeous
1:26 In the previous scene, the framed diploma was leaned against the wall, but now its gone
It’s like I’m watching my mother in law back in the 80’s😧
It’s weird seeing her play a person .... that’s doing a legit job.
Wait, is that candace from the haves and the haves not? is she rainbow's mum!
But her mum from black ~ish is practical white!!!
Thats becuase of the elephant in the show room. White supremacy.
My thoughts exactly.. failed continuity
Her mom is light-skinned in Black-ish. Yea they threw continuity out of the window. But it looks like Tika Sumpter is perfect for this role.
Im glad they changed it bc if Biws mom looked very white. Bow would have looked straight up white and not biracial like she is.
I really wish they'd do Girlfriends-ish now that Toni, Jon, Maya and Lynn were recently reunited
Wishful thing my friend.
kaztazable if that episode of blackish gets enough attention it may be enough for a reboot. Tell everyone to watch it this week!!
Dud anyone notice that Bow’s mother is light skin in Blackish? yet somehow she’s dark skin here. I’m happy Tika is playing her but still.
yeah I don't know what happened with that casting, And Tika is so different from who Bo's mum is on Black-ish who always has a pink eye 😂🤣😂
It’s because I don’t think they had a clue they were going to make mix-ish until years later after already casting Bow’s mom on black-ish. I most def noticed the difference but if it can work for Fresh Prince it can work for this show haha.
I did not notice because I do not see color
@@Coffeeisnecessarynowpepper That's not how that saying works. This was done because the family would be undistinguishable from a white family from a television perspective. So they gave the role to a darker woman who was needed to give the family more color.
It's a a reverse Aunt Viv. We can finally call it even now
Ohh educational
Gary Cole!
Offices in the 1980s look disgusting!! I hate cubicles but I’d cry just having to sit at those creaky desks all day while wearing pumps and shoulder pads 😭😭😭
Nothing is wrong with afirmative action levels playing field to bias
Yes!! I think it's crazy that POC are treated differently until it's application time then suddenly they pretend not to see color.
Exactly!
smell like bus people...got me on the floor😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Feel the same way...😑. 1:22
I would've to have a Father in law that.
Thats y bow works alot too and hard , and always trying to convince people who don't believe that she's a doctor .
It’s funny she ruled out nepotism. Cause in real life that’s how Diana Ross daughter has come up
I don’t know. Tracee’s worked extremely hard to distance herself from the fact that Diana is her mother. If nepotism truly played a part in her come up, she would’ve blossomed as an actress long before 1996 at 24 and long before her breakout role on Girlfriends at 27 in 2000. Most people didn’t even make the connection until Tracee acknowledged it. Up until then, people only knew Rhonda and Evan were her kids and that was because of Diana’s affair with Berry Gordy and that Evan was a rising star by then. So, if nepotism truly had a part in launching any of their careers, it would be Evan.
Dominique Deveraux well she did change her last name to Ross instead of her real Jewish name. And she never acted before girlfriends but got the lead role. And she the only one from that series who still work. She’s not bad but she’s benefited from it
I like when he said would a racist have brown grandchildren lol and gave them money but the youngest wanted more lol 😂
Really when did he say that? I haven't watched the show yet.
@Elle C it was the second episode
Colorism taught at a very young age.
She's beautiful
isn't her mom light skinned?
izzie me that what I said!!! Why didn’t they had a dark skinned from Blackish or kept the light skinned in Mixedish I will still watch it either way but we all going to notice
lol maybe she started to skin bleach down the line
jk but i don’t think continuity was such an important thing for them. more so they realized a woman of that complexion would give birth to white passing babies so they decided to fix that error to make it more realistic?
stella rivero exactly bow was darker than her own mother while she was 3/4 white lol.
Vitiligo ? Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. Michael Jackson had it. Or what is most probable, producers want Tika Sumpter to play the role and they don't care how dark or light her skin is.
Tika sumpter is gorgeous
I don't know. I think she should have taken up on that offer to go out for drinks. Father in-law is giving her an opportunity to be with the team and give her the chance to break the ice with the guys; to show them her merits. All she is doing is sulking in the corner office.
*wasn’t she’s a light skin woman in blackish and now she’s brown did she turn to bleaching or something because this isn’t adding up*
I thought her name was pronounced (A lee see ah)?
OK
This woman is an Ebony Godess. I am a White dude and I really love the beauty of the ebony woman. The beauty renders me speechless.
I get it, Black is Beautiful, but maybe don't refer to Black women by a porn category?
@@kevinfox298 you think the term ebony started in porn?
Wait a minute! Wasn't Bow's mom a white hippie on black-ish? What happened?
Did anyone ever find out that she was the daughter in law of the boss?
Told Sumpter is so beautiful, sexy, and hot!!!
Make sure those Cover Sheets with the TPS Reports go out!
*Tika Sumpter
Bow’s mom on Black-ish is light skinned, her in Mixed-ish is dark skinned... huh?
So while I can't help but agree with the issue this video presents it's done in the worst way possible. It seems like no one in the comment section knows how statistics work. The comment section quickly went to welfare so I'll address it by saying I'm not going to pretend that there isn't a large number of white people who believe the majority of welfare recipients are black. But in the comment section people 1.) keep trying using anecdotes in place of facts and 2.) don't seem to realize that more white people than black people using welfare doesn't mean there is a disparity. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of reasons that justify the disproportional amount (segregation, racial injustice, etc) that goes towards the black community but to deny that it is a disproportional just leads you open to criticism. But on to the issue of affirmative action. Yes, more white women than black women benefited from affirmative action but that's because there are more white women than black women in the country. But to the actual heart of the debate yes people did make unfair assumptions about black people/or really any minority after affirmative action and that's unfair. I know most people who watch this aren't going to care but this is something Clarence talked about that happened to him after he graduated from law school. Most people didn't want to hire him because they assumed he only received his degree because of affirmative action. And again that was unfair. But no one seems willing to admit that was the natural consequence of trying to artificially increase racial equality. It's not that there aren't qualified people of color for what ever profession was in question but trying to rapidly force that inevitably led to the lowering standards for people in historically oppressed groups.
Bow's light skinned mom is being played by a dark skinned woman.
Wow shes absolutly beautiful....wowww
Beautiful but not a talented actress shes too stale
Wait but in Blackish Bow's mom is mixed race though...
Viola Mulla they just corrected the casting of bows mom. Bows mom in this makes a lot more sense
I thought her mom was white....
Why is she dressed like Edgeworth?
1:44
Rainbow's mother is light skinned on black ish, so I dont understand why they decided to go with a dark skinned actress. I guess they really wanted Tika Sumpter for this show. Please dont come for me, I'm a dark skinned black women, I'm just wondering that's all.
They cast the mom way too dark compared to Anna Deavere Smith
It was intentional
Cindy99765 smh
Mik ish
IMO, Affirmative Action should be based on what your financial social status was growing up.
Stayathome mom Financial affirmative makes more sense, at least in the U.S. People experiences with race vary from country to country, but poverty is universal. Take a step off your American pedestal and look at the wider picture
Minority racial groups are more likely to experience multidimensional poverty than their White counterparts (Reeves, Rodrigue, & Kneebone, 2016).
They have to deal with discrimination and marginalization in education, health, society-on top of poverty. Model minorities and even affirmative action doesn’t negate this, that they have to work twice as hard just to be on equal footing. (As this clip demonstrates.)
Ref: www.apa.org/pi/ses/resources/publications/minorities
Stayathome mom IQ was actually invented by white men as well to differentiate between races and classes and still give the elite white people the advantage because they essentially hang out with other educated people all their live they turn out to be duh... much smarter than their peers that didnt grow up in that very same environment. Hence the IQ being used to day is “technically white supremacy”
Anastasia People like “Jacob” above dont have empathy to think about the bigger picture becuae they are about the “here and now” so they have no time to get into it. Hence no progress in reparations has ever been made, and only speaking points from actors who know only about assimilating to getting nothing in return because america now is broke.
@Stayathome mom Nice assumptions jackass. I am American, and affirmative action has deeply affected my family personally. My mother went to college on a full ride from affirmative action.
I don't think it's necessary that Tracie Ellis Ross narrate the show. Idk when Anthony Anderson does it, it's not so annoying. For me I just don't think it's needed.
I'm sorry and no offense to Tika Sumpter (she's n awesome actress!) but ABC did a terrible "skin tone" casting job of the character of Rainbow's mom on "Mixed-ish". I say this because in the original series, "Blackish", her mom is very "FAIR-SKINNED". Speaking as an African-American woman this goes to show that whoever did the casting truly is not "woke" and secondly "black people usually get darker as they get older and not the other way around".
Hopefully there is no bitter backstory of Bo's mother using vanishing/skin lightning creams as some still do present day.
Hey you've got a point and a creative mind! That's a great idea for a backstory because that was a very real situation for a lot of black people back in the 70's. I knew of someone who tried doing that. And you're right...it still happens today.
...and 80's
Lord Jesus being the only minority in all white work space is my biggest fear
Maybe because it IS a complement.
This is annoying another strong, dark skinned black woman trope. She has to go out to earn a living a support the family. Meanwhile here hippie, good for nothing white ass husband stays home doing whatever. Rolling my eyes🙄🙄🙄🙄. At least Tika Sumpter look gorgeous in this role.
#mygirlsfriends #thatswassup
One question why does tika always act in interracial relationships. No hate just want to know.
She doesn't. But what difference does it make. She is a black employed actress.
On ride along she's with Kevin Hart and her husband irl is white he played Justin on the have and have nots and she played Candace they have a beautiful daughter irl..
Gigi Smith I guess it’s art imitating life(?) Her husband is a white man, so it’s not like she can’t relate.
Is she supposed to turn down work? What would you have her do?...especially in an industry where it is already hard for a dark skin black woman to get work. If you could give her your expertise career advice, I'm sure she'd appreciate it.
@@theworldsonheroin tinka is a wonderful actress though.
This show is like everybody hates chris
Yet a whiter “brighter” version? With whites as allies not enemy’s? Coming out looking like they want to help?
"favored"? This show is ridiculous...
What a waste
Tika sumpter is the weakest link in this show if they were to replace her the show would be ok she just can't act
Buns are too severe for her face structure. She sometimes looks like a those hand talking muppets
Her face structure is beautiful. I have similar face structure. I wear my hair like hers. I get compliments on how beautiful my hair is. How you can see my beutiful bone features. You sound jealous. Matter fact. Iam wear my hair like that soon.
I like the show but where black people really that racist in 1985?
We have black-ish, mixed-ish. And when comes "white-ish"?
@Purplekitty LOOOOVE THIS RESPONSE LOL OMG
They wont. Everything is already white and what shows blackpeople get now are based through white writers and filter through white approval. Hence blackish was already mixedish since most of the characters half white or lighter than Meghan markle.
No silly! Gay-ish!
Dudes, that was ironic!!! Calm down...We all know that whites are the bad guys.
@StudentOf Affluence When you say that...
So...why we gotta call it a 'micro-agression'? Can't we just call it 'being a dick'?
