Our journey as black dancers wouldn’t be what it is if skin color were irrelevant. It wouldn’t have taken til 2019 for Charlotte to be the first. Until u’ve fought our fight and walked in our shoes, it’s disrespectful and devastating to hear a flippant comment like this.

@mistyonpointe So you're black only when it's convenient to you, like being on black girls rock and even considering yourself a black ballerina. If both your parents are biracial being half black that doesn't directly make you biracial having two biracial parents who are a black descent. Mixed?
