  1. Just WOW….I am blown away by this, I have ALWAYS loved Mariah as an artist but she seemed like a prima donna and full of herself whenever she would be on shows and such. I CANNOT believe how much we have in common, this is so inspiring to see she made it through all the hurt and pain. I am biracial born to a crazy mother who LIED about her ethnicity ALL MY LIFE. She had my siblings and I believing she was half black and half Italian. Our fathers are black so we always thought we were 75% black and 25% Italian. It wasn’t until a couple years ago when I went with her to visit her family whom I had NEVER met, the discussion came up about her ethnicity and her family revealed to me that my mom is 100% Puerto Rican. I guess I probably should have known something was up with her maiden name being Vasquez and all but anyway, I say all this to say that I COMPLETELY understand that feeling of not really belonging because you don’t lean too heavily to one side or the other. I grew up with my father’s family who are all African Americans. Because of my light skin and curly hair I got called “white girl” plenty of times growing up by mean kids. I was never really black enough I guess you could say. To make matters worse, intelligence runs on my father’s side. Many of my relatives are very intelligent and some have even graduated school early. I, myself have above average intelligence according to IQ tests I have taken. So in my head, I am a black woman because being around black people and black culture is all I know and have known my whole life but when some ignorant black folks see me and my Puerto Rican features and then when they hear that I can talk properly and may use words they’re not used to hearing or may do things different than what they’re used to NOT because I haven’t been exposed to the “black way” of doing things because believe me, I have but because I think for myself and if certain things that were done “the black way” when I was growing up didn’t yield good results then why not try something different? (example: my SO’s sister who’s AA came over one day while I was potty training my 2 yo. I had her bottomless instead of a diaper or a pull up because I wanted her to feel the pee on her if she had an accident so that she’d know she is not supposed to just pee on herself, I mean even little kids don’t like urine flowing down their legs or having to stand in a puddle of it. It was just family in the house but his sister sat in my living room thinking I couldn’t hear her and asked her brother, my SO “what’s that, the white way of potty training having her run around with no panties on?” This was my third time having to potty train so I knew what I was doing and it took my now 3 yo I think 1-3 days of accidents and she was FULLY potty trained and has had ZERO accidents since. Now I know the “black way” of potty training because I have been blessed/cursed with a very vivid memory, I can remember some things back to when I was 2 yo. I remember being in the bed with all my cousins and having an accident while I was sleep. My uncle brought me to my grandmother and I remember her bending me over her knee and spanking me for said accident. It may have worked because I don’t remember having any other experiences like that after that day but I’ll be damned if I’m going to spank my potty training child for having an accident or even shame her for that matter.) But anyway, when some people in my community see my appearance and the way I talk and conduct myself, as sad as it is to admit I have had grown black women call me “white” and little do they know nothing could be further from the truth. I grew up in a black neighborhood with black family my entire life. So I know that sense of not being white enough or black enough and not really belonging. When Hispanic people see me they automatically recognize me as one of them but then the language barrier comes into play sometimes because aside from what I’ve learned in school, I don’t speak Spanish. I did not grow up with that side of my family so I can’t really relate to them culturally either. My mom was also a full blown narcissist and it sounds like Mariah’s mom is definitely a member of that group. This video was so inspiring, I would have never thought she came from such a background.

  2. I have so much respect for Mariah because she has lived through so much trauma in her life I'm glad that she has found not only the success but the love that she rightfully deserves

  3. People who are only just realizing Mariah dark past trauma all I want to say is that Mariah has never hid her past trauma she’s expressed them and even hinted the fact that she grew up with toxic family members for example she dodged David Letterman’s question when he asked Mariah if she has any siblings and some of Mariah’s songs even hinted the fact that her family is toxic.

  4. Mariah has been threw soo much but my god the lordt blessed her with such a gift to give to the world!!! I love Mariah since the 90s!!! She had such a hard life but overcame it all!!

  5. I remember watching the Barbara interview once the story broke and Barbara always got the first interview and if she didn't it was Oprah. She did a lot of interviews during this time because of who she was and who he was and to this day he got away with it without any backlash. Goes to show you if you are at the top and you've discovered artist after artist you could kill people and they'd still come to you and beg you for a record deal. Speaking of someone who did that was Oprah. She didn't care what the person had done that gave her a lift and that's why she was always so over the moon about Harvey Weinstein. She sat beside him at award shows with Meryl Streep and it's just disgusting especially after she told her own story about what happened to her growing up. She always promoted women while turning her back on them because she knew the stories about him just like good ole Meryl did and said nothing and was under him to get what she wanted more fame and money. I've often wondered what other women Oprah so called loved like Mariah and Whitney thought about her being close with this man knowing the stories because one thing Hollywood does is talk? If I was Mariah I would feel turned off by Oprah but we don't really get to know anything like that unless that "star" gets in trouble or some major issue. I knew that Hollywood and the music industry was gross with so many issues for women and men because believe you me they like the guys too and they like them very young and more and more they like them way underage and it's always been that way and will continue to be. Then all these people come out in support but yet nothing ever changes. I do hope Mariah has come to peace with her past and not just the top layer of peace but truly free from the baggage she's carried.
