O’Brien, who is multiracial and [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] identifies as "black," spoke out about her own racial identity and why it matters to viewers watching "Black In America."
"You know, white people really have a luxury in that they get a range of stories, that they’re not defined by five stories," she explained. "So I think that the [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] difference with ‘Black in America’ was the filter [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] did matter. That there are only going to be five stories and we want to know exactly who you are and what your credentials are to be telling our story."
She said that she "used to take great offense" at questions about her ethnic background, but no longer does. "I think I was part of "Black in America" even in the con**** of who is the filter of the [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] story and so it became relevant, so I really stopped hating answering that question because I felt like my job is to elaborate and explain for people who I am," she said.
