Solange and Julez – Art Imitates Life

Sandra Rose November 3, 2015

So I’m watching this cute video of Beyonce‘s little sister Solange Knowles and her son Julez dancing, when it suddenly dawns on me who Kelly Rowland‘s character in Empire was inspired by.

The similarities are striking. Both Rowland’s character and Solange are singers from musical dynasties who have diagnosed mental issues. They both have mixed race sons with good hair who struggle to cope with their mothers’ mental issues while protecting them from outsiders.

That’s a tall menu for any child. Life can’t be easy for Julez. I wonder if he watches Empire and sees himself in young Lucious Lyon?

Juelz is so cute! He seems like such a well-rounded child.

Is it possible that Solange is not actually mentally ill but may be harboring anger and pain? Harboring such emotions can make you volatile…I was angry at the world when I was in undergrad and would go off at the drop of a hat. I can admit that I felt crazy, but it took my grandmother to tell me that I was angry and that I needed to make peace with whomever made me that way. I eventually did and I got better as a result.

I wouldn’t even take it that far. I just think Solange doesn’t care about her “image” being tarnished because of her putting someone in check.

My sis and her hubby are black. So are both sets of their parents. My nephew is nowhere close to biracial, yet he came out very fair, curly hair, and gray eyes. Genetics is weird, that’s why you can’t go by looks.

I was wondering why folks were saying he looks sweet. Those look like the same shorts the boy in the blue is wearing.

I’m sure he has, he still in the picture and on the Carter’s payroll
Greg: Less hate, more love.

I like Solange, she’s very authentic, talented and laid back. Also, there’s an article about some one on instagram calling her son ugly “Who does that, smh” she in turn responded and put that person in their place.

MotherOfDragons, GetOffMyENuts

This was cute. They enjoy each other’s company and Solange truly seems to be a mother first. She’s one of those women who had a child at a young age and were changed by motherhood in a positive way. Daniel Smith, the boy’s father, is black…so he’s no more or less mixed race than most of us black people.
Buttercup

At least once a week. Shoot, I learned how to dance during Saturday morning cleanup. Mama Butter would have us dancing while we tidied up. Well, some have questioned my sanity. I think it’s only because they weren’t expecting the reaction they got when they crossed me.

Yep! He’s often pictured w/the Carter’s

My son and I dance all the time and we’re perfectly sane.

No. His dad is not biracial. His dad is light skinned black. Jules does not have “good hair”. Hes a light skinned African American boy with light colored eyes and tight curly afro.

The boy playing young Lucious Lyon is either biracial, Caribbean creole, or South American.

Solange son is not biracial. His dad is black Sandra. I don’t understand why people think mental illness is a joke. It’s nothing to play with and I am disappointed about this post Sandra. You know better.

Lil Butter’s teacher give check marks when they misbehave. He got a check mark for cafeteria behavior one day. We asked what he was doing. He was SEW scared to tell us and tried to beat around the bush by saying he was doing things that he should do outside. He finally spit it out that he was, “whipping that Nae Nae.” Honey Dip and I couldn’t send him to his room fast enough so we could laugh.

Well.well$well

Both Rowland’s character and Solange are singers from musical dynasties… Your words not mine…You’re just looking for a reason to say that Solange is mentally unstable..

The article doesn’t SAY she’s bi polor but that people were speculating what she meant by saying she was physically and mentally exhausted. Nice try though….

From the article you just posted…

Knowles’ reference to sustaining her “mental/physical heath” raised a few eyebrows, which got speculators to speculate just what that meant.

My son looks nothing like his father nor me ( his father is dark-skinned and I’m slightly dark brown). Our son was born and is light skinned. However so if my father and he looks like my deceased father.

I think she is just perceived as mental because she’s a cancer. I’m married to one and they are a lil touched and he’s a man! Omg emotional out this world and when they get in their feelings (which is always) good luck getting them their crab shell. I read once it takes a special person to deal with a cancer mood swings and its sooooooo true. I almost threw in the towel but we just made 10 years last month and married 5. Off topic but we were also a 1 night stand 10 years later lol. I’m pisces btw… We are awesome!!

No.

African Americans want everyone to be black even when they are not. Biracial, multiracial, Caribbean creole, and South Americans are not black. The world is not just black and white. So are white people with kinky hair and dark skin black? Are white people who culturally and socially identified with being black not black?

Yet African Americans either resent biracial and multiracial people, are overzealously proud to claim having any semblance of or anything near biracial or multiracial attributes (eg. “my cousin’s cousin both parents blue black but he got soft blonde hair and light blue eyes”), are intrigued, obsessed and in many cases act in ways discriminatory, oppressive, envious, and cruel toward biracial and multiracial people. Not politically correct to say especially here but nevertheless true.

The child who plays young Lucious Lyon is not black and that’s perfectly ok. He’s beautiful nonetheless.

People who have hair that does not become dry, brittle, or a breaking mess from water and daily washing. Everyone is entitled to their own hair rituals for their hair type.
the guest

But I thought you just said wash and go leaves hair dry and a breaking mess. Yes, there are hair textures that can shampoo and go without leave in conditioner and have beautiful healthy hair. Not every hair type is relative to African American hair textures. And that’s ok because all hair is good right?
the guest

Exactly. ALL hair is good hair.
the guest

And happy to be nappy is beautiful.
the guest

Kinky hair is not curly hair. And it’s ok.
the guest

Many people can get in a swimming pool and get up and go. Many biracial and multiracial people can swim and go.
the guest

Chlorine does wonders with biracial and multiracial curls and waves. It’s a known fact. Take your kid swimming the day before picture day at school.
Buttercup

So what’s the diameter threshold for kinky hair vs curly hair. 0.5 inch, 0.25in, 1 in.?
Buttercup

Do me a favor and research the difference in race and ethnicity. Now, I’ve given you a start in order for you to gain a better understanding, but I won’t do the education for you. #YoureWelcome
Buttercup

Reading is fundamental, and comprehension is imperative. With the millions of youtube videos out here, you want to come to me with the nonsense. No one can heave healthy hair without at least applying a leave in conditioner- that includes a wash and go. I said what I said.
Lashawn

Ohhh you told me….lol (reading is fundamental)
ADHD……definitely a mental illness that means that her child is some how suffering….But you got it. You “spoke”.. Lol …Today was a slow gossip day.

Maybe Kelly’s role pulls from aspects

Of her own life…I mean her mom did allow her to move in with Solange and her family…who were living the good life sonto speak…if we are not considering them to be her biological sisters…js

Yeah without washing the chlorine out their hair? No they cant. If that’s the case so can I .
the guest

Thank you.
the guest

If believing your nappy hair is curly and if believing in the archaic definition of race and the slave mentality one drop rule makes you feel better about yourself then more power to you. But in reality there are other races than black and white and not everyone fits into those boxes. And for the record biracial and multiracial people don’t have to identify with you or care to be understood or accepted by you. But I won’t do the education for you to begin to even conceptualize the human continuum.

Many people can and do. For some European, white, Anglo Latino, biracial, multiracial, Asian people, conditioner makes their hair greasy. The whole human race is not referenced from African American hair texture and experience.

Astonishingly beautiful and rare! I’ve had a friend who is a lovely dark complected girl her eyes were an extremely dark blue almost missable but once you stare in you see them and she had long hair. I think she might have had Indian in her either Asian or Native American but her siblings didn’t inherit her eyes just hair.
Arrissasso

Lolzzzz! In my culture if the baby comes out looking more like one parent than the other it meant that one loved the other more!
Use_Coasters_aka_Sol_88

That’s sounds lovely!
I love a woman with dark skin & I know ppl just assume that isn’t her hair, swing it beautiful!
Arrissasso

I know right? It’s a ignorant assumption if you ask me she had that long hair even as a tot it was already down to her shoulders, we grew up together. As kids we loved to play with eachothers hair, she loved my wavy Asian hair I loved her soft tresses, her mama always kept on top of that hair too lol. When she sat in the sun her dark blue almost black looking eyes turn a fiery sapphire which I know had many a boy were hypnotized. He’ll even me I wish I had her gorgeous eyes.
Use_Coasters_aka_Sol_88

She sounds like a fantasy novel character Lol!

Well I’m glad to hear an undoubtedly beautiful woman is showing love to another.
Ppl like to think women can’t get along or are “jealous” of one another, I don’t believe that.
Arrissasso

She does right? But I truly think her mom has some Indian because she looks kind a like it and Asian Indians sometimes have beautiful green eyes Grey eyes blue eyes amazing eyes so I think that’s where her trait may have came from. But I was known as Tasha’s Little Chinese friend so I don’t know. Of course I think women should stick together you know and encourage one another and be positive for one another it just makes for such a sweeter kinder world. Man I wish I could find a picture of her I would show you such a pretty girl in with s voice like SWV’s coco oh my gosh we used to jam to that and that girl can sang.
Use_Coasters_aka_Sol_88

Awwww that’s so sweet!

I’m still friends with my girls since elementary & middle school. Where I live we have a lot of native Americans. My one friends is chocolate brown with light brown eyes & hair down her back. So you’re more than likely right.

& I use to date Asian guys Lol, so I know about how beautiful the faces of Asian women & men are.
Arrissasso

You’re just like me you admire people’s beauty and can appreciate it. We have too many low self esteemed kids these days and there is no harm that can come toward you for bringing them positivity and kind words. Oooh girl you are so open minded I love it, Asian men are one of natures most overlooked untapped resources lol. Girl when they are fine they are so stunning you gotta look away and they got money $$$$$$ they know how to treat a woman. And all the Asian men I know are so cool yet hood but professional when it counts.
