I was wed to a black man 30 years, I regrect nothing, I miss him after he passed 6 months ago. I adored him. My soul mate.
My Bimmie past last year, I miss the shit out of him. He was Polish and I am Mexican.We never realized we were an interracial couple, until other people pointed it out. Sadly we were unable to have babies.I would have loved to have his children. I may have even had grandkids by now.I will never find any else like him.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Alicia Ortiz. Mexican is not a race. It's a nationality.
God Bless
First of all Keren my deepest sympathy.
the fact their last name was Loving is even better. it was like a message from god, in a way
Righttt
It’s definitely symbolic
I know
YES IT TRULY IS BEAUTIFUL NOT A COINCIDENCE
HARD AGREE
The fact that Bill matched his tie to his wife’s purple outfit is the sweetest, classy and elegant 🥺🥺💕💕💕 much love to all these couples and all others
I like Bill Cohen, as a Senator and as Defense Secretary. He’s an honorable guy. I’m honestly surprised that I didn’t know about his wife.
A woman's eye ,I never would have noticed ,you guys really do notice stuff better than us 👍🏽
@@rattatouilletherat I didn't know about her, either, until a few years ago. She was referred to fondly and respectfully as the First Lady of the Pentagon during his tenure as Defense Secretary. She has such charm, intellect, beauty, poise, and innate class that I believe most people were totally disarmed by her and her (understandable) fear of undermining her husband's career likely would not have happened. I'm just glad to see that he was determined and patient, knowing she was his soul mate, in spite of her fears and the external pressures I'm sure they each faced (her father apparently highly disapproved of the match not because he was White but because he was Jewish, which is like WTF for me).
I took notice of that also. I like seeing couples do this with the man matching his tie with the same color as his wife’s outfit. 😍
@@rattatouilletherat me either !! I been watching his views on this war he's been doing and was shocked to see him in this !! And more in awe of him !! Supporting his black queen . What a man
The fact that her husband is not welcome at her family’s home is heart breaking. This is unacceptable. How people can still think this way is bizarre. Racism is bizarre. People are people, period.
not bizarre at all, it's human nature right down to the bone it's straight up tribalism
Same for me as a gay person. I can never, no matter how much I love someone, bring them to meet my parents, because all they will see is their gender.
@@panadocoughsyrup I’m so sorry about that:( As a Christian I think no matter what my children’s choices are, my God says I’m to be committed to love them. Not to change them but love them. Praying your parents realize before it’s too late that they’re missing out on loving you, and your partner too:(
@@panadocoughsyrupadopt don't do surrogate it's exploitation
😢💔 Really could never understand any kind of prejudice. The only time I dislike someone is if they're mean-spirited, selfish, deceptive, dishonest and cruel. The rest is just plain ignorance.
The fact the lady in the purple said no to marriage 3 times because she was afraid for her partners career going down just shows how much she loves him
1.4K likes and no replies? Well, I'm first; and true.
Second.
I know!’!!!!
True and the fact that he kept askting her despite the possible consequences to his career shows how much he loved her. True love from the both of them.
That’s true love
as a Christian, I am disgusted that Gail's family was praying for them not to get pregnant I just don't understand how so many people who consider themselves religious get Christianity so twisted in their heads!
J. L. Right?To which God smh
J. L. God won't answer a prayer like that, they ought to be ashamed of themselves.
I normally don't reply to comments but I felt impelled to say I agree with you 100%. I wish I could give your comment a thousand thumbs up! People who have such a disdain for others because of their skin color or nationality aren't true Christians. Period.
Katie Garcia I’m Mexican like you
J. L. God will not listen to those prayers 🗿 don’t worry. It’s just pure hate
when she said “I am the same age as Emmet Till” my heart stopped.
Me too. 🙁 AND Emmett was innocent.
dang.
Tell god I said hi.
So glad she said that. People make it seem like his murder was so long ago and as if that kind of racism, and those kinds of acts, are long dead. Not so.
Emmit was a would be rapist
The way John said nothing and stared lovingly at his wife until she’d finished talking was so sweet
That almost had me in tears 😄
I legit cried lmao
Can we just talk about the lady in purple.. Omg she is the definition of beauty and elegance
She Is,i noticed right away
she is gorgeous and so sophisticated
Pure Beauty & Elegance!❤
And I love that his tie matched her jacket
Right! She’s so beautiful
I can’t believe some people STILL have a problem with interracial marriage. What an embarrassment. Praying for no interracial child? God damn. What trash.
@Jack Bones mainly conservatives have a problem with both interracial marriage and gay marriage. Conservatives are just anti freedom.
And not only white people, black and asian also do not like and accept it sometimes. It is trully disgusting how we can not just accept love
Also I don’t know how genes mix but interracial people are incredibly beautiful
Yeah me to
@@Bergen98 True unfortunately, though not when it comes to my family. Almost a dozen of my little cousins are mixed.😄
My wife parents r from West Virginia when they found out she was dating me they wasn’t happy at all. For a year my wife and her parents didn’t talk. My wife got pregnant and I still remember to this day remember my father in law and mother in law came to the hospital for the delivery. I remember they held r lil boy and they both started crying saying that r ashamed of the way they acted. We been married for 10yrs now. My father in law is probably my best friend now
I’m so happy that they realized how wrong they were.
I'm happy for you and your family ❤
Aww congrats
My partners family is from West Virginia (I’m mixed and he’s white), been there many times to visit. Thankfully they are kind people. But going out around town, it’s like you’re an alien.
@@asia8264 I'm confused. Are you saying when in public they look at you as an outaider.
I have always loved the sort of symbolic coincidence in this case: Their name is literally "Loving." Love transcends any race, culture, or any other bullshit you can come up with to divide the people. Love is the primary cause of marriage. So how fitting that the case that codified interracial marriage be named for "Loving?" As in, loving is bigger than hating!
Beautifully said. 🌷
Yes 👏
Absolutely! Thanks for this. 🍻
Hats off to the senator. He sure knows how to pick a wife. She is lovely.
She is stunning
They have amazing class,both of them are extremely amazing with their speech and emotions
A beautiful black Queen
@Carol I have seen more well spoken black women than any other race. Everything about black women is queen worthing and the fact that you disagree shows your ignorance especially in this day and age.
@Carol Karen, please shut up. I bet you can count the number of black women that you know personally on one of your hands. Your opinion is invalid.
To that couple who’s family are praying you don’t get pregnant, i pray you do! And your baby is healthy and happy 😊
Iyrah Russell Amen!
me too!!
In Jesus name Amen
Iyrah Russell whose (not who is), I not i, and your (not you are), but agreed.
@Helder Monteiro for black people
I’m the child of an interracial couple and it breaks my heart to hear the story of the woman whose family prayed for her not to get pregnant. My life as a mixed person has been incredible and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s amazing to be able to access two cultures and I also think it’s made me a more tolerant person. When the other woman said “I don’t do they,” it really resonated with me. I can’t “do they” either and I’m so grateful for that.
I'm black and have access to two cultures too. If I have children I wouldn't want to raise them in a predominately white country due to the struggles they will have. And yes, I have seen many bi-racial people struggle with identity and acceptance of themselves but this tend not to be the case for bi-racial children from black mothers.
My son with KENYA morher stresses me he is 10..
i think many bi racial children suffer growing up because other children make them pick sides which is so so wrong and its always mainly black children that have made them pick. its also a sad reality that black fathers are never held accountable for not educating their own children about who they are, family ect as much as white mothers not educating themselves on certain things when they have mixed raced children i think as parents they need to do more to install self love ect. into their children to make them feel less pressure and more proudness of who they are.
I am multi racial and the White, Hispanic and Black race all tried to make me pick one . I picked me. I hung out with the outcasted that didn't have requirements for friendship .
@@Beautyinart1 read the poem by robert servis THE MEN WHO DO NOT FIT IN....
I was the product of miscegenation (my mom was Native American, and my dad was Japanese). If I hadn't been born premature I would have been born after Oklahoma finally took miscegenation laws off the book. My mom so desperately wanted me to be treated fairly that she asked one of her best friends who was white to go to all of my teacher-parent conferences and such so I could pass as white more easily. She pushed me towards academic goals and I know how much she would have given to hear directly from my HS and College professors that those goals were met.
These laws needlessly hurt so many people and families. And, their legacy still continues to hurt innocent people 💔.
Can you explain a little bit? Oklahoma has laws against it to this day?
@@TrueBeelzebub No.
@@TrueBeelzebub No, miscegenation laws are banned in Oklahoma currently.
Yes, you are right. It's the laws that cause the problems. Most of these laws date back to the era of slavery in the US and Jim Crow segregation. And also, the ridiculous idea of what makes a person black, the one drop of black blood idea.
I am not familiar with the American history and so I tried to search about this online, but unfortunately I couldn’t comprehend it entirely. If you’re comfortable with it, then can you please explain this miscegenation law in simpler terms?
Imagine hating someone's skin complexion so much that you pray to God (the God who created them) for their demise... they need to be educated and prayed for themselves.
Exactly. I cannot fathom that kind of deep, entrenched bigotry.
Jesus won't listen to those racists. You have nothing to worry there.
Right, that part broke my heart.
I like your name
Agreed
I’ve been with my [white] husband for 30 years, yesterday. I remember his father and step mother asking “what about the kids?” And my husband said “well what about it?” When we went on our honeymoon and ate at a particular restaurant with everyone there staring at us, and he announced “I guess you’re staring at how beautiful my wife is. She IS beautiful.” 😉
God bless you both I wish for you another 30 year of marriage
Wo...this was so loving it made me cry.
Love his answer!!!
You knew you had a keeper 🙂
Awwwww ❤️
My mother was white and my dad is black. I’m almost 40, and I don’t have any contact to my mother’s family. They rejected my mom and us of course. I’m not mad or sad anymore. They’re loosing something, not I. So, very touched to see this 🙏🏽
You are a beautiful human being. They might come around but if not, it's their loss. Continue to carry on.
@@Mayousse 🙏🏽🥰
I cant even understand how little brain need have somebody to not understand that black or white skin is the same 😱😱😱its just a colour 😱😱😱 how somobody need to be so stupid to feel better becuse of colour of skin!!!??? Anyway dont worry. You dont loose nothink if ypu dont have contact with them. They are not smart snd maybe toxic so you need to be happy 😁😁😁
I've heard of a similar story too.
When one your white relatives needs a kidney they will come around.
“Knowing” your an interracial couple when you go out is so true. Recently married my soulmate and we get looks almost everywhere we go especially when our kids are with us. 90% of the time I think it’s funny but there are times you can tell people don’t approve or we feel we get treated differently
If you love each other that's all that matters.
Really? Where do you live? Come to California, most people here don’t care. It’s normal here. Well, I’m Mexican and Native American, so I always assumed that’s normal, but maybe majority of white peoples still have problems with it. My family never has.
I'm married interracially and no one cares. Never had guff from anyone for it, or weird stares, or even stares. Don't know where it is you're living.
Honestly, I made this stupid mistake years ago. I am white South African and interracial couples are rare here.
I was into collecting t-shirts and saw a white man with an awesome looking one on. So, naturally, I stared at the design. Until I noticed his black girlfriend or wife glaring at me. Honestly it was just his t-shirt
That first lady; Janet, is RIDICULOUSLY GORGEOUS!
And a smile that could end wars.
She is
Yes
she is he looks so sour.
She looks biracial to me
The woman in purple is STUNNING!!!!
I said the same thing!
Yeah. She used to be a model before she started a career as a journalist and anchorwoman.
Oh yeah she is in deed :) And why can not all people, just SEE that it does NOT mather! What colour a person have, cuse when it comes 2 love, attraction, soul mate, it has nothing 2 do with race, etnicitet.
I was thinking the same thing! She's amazing looking!
Belsnickel too much botox to me
I loved the kid who defined herself as "orange" 😂
I'm mixed race, my father is black and my mother is white. Even living in the most mixed-race country in the world, people have a hard time understanding that we're both, in sense of culture and ancestry, but people insist on wanting to reduce us to our skin color.
The irony is this...through all generations in US even since pre-colonial days there has been mixing of the races, all races including Native Americans. Now, you cannot look at someone and "know" their heritage. We have to test for it to find out about ourselves!! I'm glad God is blind to all that.
@@drose1526 Americans should be Americans only by now, or it should be an option. Ppl who has more African ethnicities will say they African American, when that's a continent l. They multiple ethnicities from Africa and many have 20-45% European ethnicities but ignore them or blame it on slavery. If America didn't generalize ethnicity into continents, we would all technically be like places that Identify as nationality only.
@@kaya856 è porque ela è latina ,brasileira
I think a country like Brazil is actually more mixed race than the US
I live in Norway, my dad is Tamil and my mom is Norwegian. My moms father has never met my dad, and has said he never will. He doesn’t want to meet him because he is not white and an “immigrant”, my dad is very dark skinned so I’m pretty brown too. I didn’t know this until now (I’m 16) and I’m very sad about this thing with my grandpa. He didn’t come to my mothers marriage or my baptism in church, he didn’t attended my brothers baptism either. This is making me especially sad because my aunt (my moms sister) is getting married to a white man, and my grandpa showed up to the marriage and the baptism of both of my cousins. And it’s weird because my grandpa is very nice to me even though I am not white in the skin, so I don’t understand why he still refuses to meet my dad. I also remember asking my dad why he never came with us to family dinner and he said “your grandpa doesn’t like me”, I asked him why and he said I should ask my mother. So I asked her, she got upset with him and told him to stop saying that to me and my brother. My mom always came with us when my father had family dinner, so it was confusing to me. Anyway, I am very proud of both of my cultures. So proud of having a bunad and a saree hanging next to each other in my closet.
4:44 she was born in 1941 and still looks that good???? Black rlly don't crack lmao
chris Black don't crack lol or people just age well
chris blacks smoke alotta crack
Joe Shmoe why did I find this so funny 😂😂🤦♂️
and so the race wars begin may the odds be ever in your favor
chris It's that melanin
I'm black married to a white man. His mom hated me at first and his dad's side of the family wouldn't shake my hand and some wouldn't even acknowledge me when we met. That was the first and last time I saw or talk to them. We married in 08 and We are going on 12 years of marriage and I don't regret a thing.
That's beautiful. Not that they didn't like you but that despite that your relationship was not affected by it.
I'm telling ya, couples like yours who thrive on love for each other is the only end to racism for the future.
No law, no protest, no speech is ever gonna make racism go away, only examples of love and friendships will instil the deeper understanding of life in the coming generations.. You're a part of changing that future. Wish you both the best 💪 Salute from Norway 🇳🇴
@@infinite10045 Did I say mixed children will be the end of racism? I said examples of love and friendship will instil a deeper understanding of life in the coming generations. Kids who grow up seeing and learning DIFFERENT, hearing different, thinking different, than what has been going on for so long.
Your "deal with it head on" attitude is like picking a scab of a wound again and again and it'll never heal, racism isn't a physical thing that'll be erradicated with force it needs to be broken down on an individual basis. Otherwise you'll end up right back where you were..
@@infinite10045 And.. you think because I'm white I haven't experienced racism? Lol and now we're seeing some underlying psychological and philosophical problems surrounding racism right there.. 🙄
But you know what, maybe you think you know of a good way of handling racism around you personally, and I say go for it ;) But I have my own way
@@infinite10045 Ah I see, you're one of these types that think it's impossible to be racist towards "white people"..
Well well.. That's a bit of a problem isn't it 😅
I'm afraid you might have already turned yourself into a racist. Maybe a "mild" one but a racist none the less.
I can understand now why your first answer was what it was though.. Listen, I hope you find some peace of mind one day, I'd give you one little advice though. If you're looking for something resembling peace and equality then you'll never find it in the rabbit hole you're in now, that is an absolute certainty..
Bless ;)
Freddy BayBay it’s not that you can’t be racist towards white people, the impact just isn’t as much compared to the other way around, that’s all.
I’m from LA and I’ll never forget taking a trip to London in 1991 and noticing how interracial couples were much more prevalent in the UK compared to what I ever saw in the USA. Even to this day. I rarely see interracial couples here. But in London I swear I’d see them daily. It was just one of many experiences while abroad that made me feel as if Europeans in general were more advanced than Americans.
@Beautify em : The recent shooting in Buffalo NY would seem to say the racial divide appears to be growing. With the shooter acknowledging what Fox News hosts have been saying about the Great Replacement of whites with minorities. But then there’s the viral video of the Lyft driver who declines to be the ride for a white couple in Pennsylvania when the woman gets in the car and declares “Oh you’re white, you’re normal and can speak English!”. The Lyft drivers response is perfect as he refuses to give them a lift home. Unfortunately that was an isolated incident. Whereas Fox gets televised all across the states :-(
Yep we still have a long way to go. Too many people here have chosen not to use critical thinking for all decisions they make.
@BeeHereNow racism persists everywhere. But my experience was mind blowing eye opening the acceptance of blacks overseas compared to the USA. Historically too. Black entertainers have always been welcomed with open arms in France. There’s always going to be a racist in the crowd but compared to the USA Europe is far ahead in general.
When you no longer are happy to be home, that's when you realize there are other places for you. So far, I am always very happy to get back home after a trip abroad.
This is like saying from a perspective of german emigres in the 1930ies, a couple where one is catholic one other jewish, that its so surprising seeing couples of mixed religions, one jewish one catholic or protestant in England, France, Russia or Austria. But in truth Germany in the 30ies was a deviation from history like america was a deviation. But the german case only existed for 12 years.
@@middleclassic in europe there is xenophobia.
My heart goes out to Vaughn, my German in-laws have been awesome with me. To everybody who is not accepted, stay strong and make the best of your relationship or marrige, you are not alone I am here standing by your side!
Omgggg.. The black women in purple is absolutely beautiful. Wow.

Yeah, she looks so elegant and classy. Wow💖
I swear people are miserable. WHY IS IT ANYBODY'S BUSINESS WHO a person marries.
They're probably inbred, miserable a$$holes with nothing to do
Rai Jo exactly like mind your own business damn
Exactly, misery loves company.

I am black, but my uncle's wife was white; he was married to her until the day she passed away - about a quarter of a century. My full blessings to these folks and to all interracial couples.
My son couldn't believe that such laws existed before. I'm Mexican and my husband is Filipino. When I was engaged to my husband I had to deal with hurtful comments from a dear family member and at that time it was very painful for me. I knew that the man I was going to marry was a good man who's love for me was genuine. We've been married 21 years now and that family member now gives us an anniversary gift every year. Witnessing true love can help to change people's minds!
Notice that you didnt mention any races..Maybe, learn the differences between race, ethnicity, and nationality love
The couple that said their family were praying for them not to have children, wow that is just Evil as evil gets. That is not a family that is an enemy.
Fortunately, GOD does not hear the prayers of the wicked.
Well I renounce those demonic prayers in the name of Jesus! May they conceive before this year is over and may they carry to term and have a healthy baby. May they have multiple pregnancies and may all of them be successful.
Some family isn’t blood. You learn that quickly when you develop your own values
some Christians they are.praying for God to sabotage someone's marriage isn't Christian at all.and what's worse is they don't even realize that.🤦
@@quontonnoodles Well said.
I'm Asian and my husband is African-American. We got married in 1979 and produced two beautiful daughters. We are still married to this day. To me, it does not matter who you married to, what matters is your love and respects to one another.
👍👍
Amen Sister
SO TRUE
Preach it :D
@Jay lit I hope you are still in middle school w/ that kind of talk & spelling LOL
Can you imagine our employees, i.e. politicians, thinking they have the right to prevent people from marrying based on anything but the ability to consent? It's amazing that this kind of crap still happens in a "free" country.
LOOOOOVE THIS VIDEO and the conversations... AMAZING!
My wife and I got married in 1978 and we are still going strong. 42 years this year.
May God bless you more .
Congrats! 😄
God bless you I wish you 42 more years of marriage
Us too !!!
@Warren552011 Hello, there 👋. You seem like an open-minded person. My wife and I made a trip to her faraway homeland 🌍 and I'd appreciate if you would take a moment to check it out: ruclips.net/video/E1XNeg-7aYI/видео.html Thanks! ✌
The fact that the one couple is still not welcomed at her parents house is REALLY REALLY SAD! And I pray that one day they are welcomed with open hearts and there children too.
Sometimes family is not of blood. I'm sure they will find others who will embrace their love and they will be called family.
And it seems the youngest coupe
I don't get why she's still talking to this supposed "family" of hers. She should have disowned them.
@@celestejacobs7386 Exactly. Wouldnt wanna be associated with that at all.
If they had children, they'll be welcome by now.no grandparents would stay away from there grandkids,the fact that they are praying for them to not have kids says it all,they know if kids are involved they'll have to meet there son in law.
The fact that over a thousand people could dislike this video is heartbreaking but won’t focus on the negative. Beautiful couples!
My grand children are of mixed background & I have witnessed their racial hurts as they have grown & I feel so inept that at 81 I can't fight all the fools or be there for them always. I has brought home to me just how unreasoning is hate, but also how strong love can be
They're lucky to have you
The woman in pinks husband looks at her like shes the most amazing human
He was looking at her like "man I'm lucky to be with such a strong woman" 🤗💕🙌🏿
I was wondering...does he talk?
or does she let him talk?
@@youdontsay2181lol I feel you. But he is just at peace and happy as hell. The way he is looking at her with all that adoration and love he just waiting to get her in private.
She is awsome and sexy. Of course. I dream of a relationship like this
Totally - eyes full of adoration
*Janet:. "... I could go on loving him, without marriage certificate" 😭 Man that's true love!*
Actually, that is how it suppose to be.
The certificate is just the government understanding your commitment.
(I lived with my wife for 6 years, together, inside a residence, 2 kids. Then we got married.... nothing changed except that we now had rings and a piece of paper)
For real like why do we have to get this piece of paper? Can't I love you without it? I appreciate the TIME you spend with me, cuz you can go divorce and get it annulled but you cant get time back
For sure! That's is the ultimate unconditional LOVE! It's a beautiful thing to say, when she shouldn't have had to begin with. Amazing woman!
1. It's a contract
2. The government wants an excuse to tax couples.
That's my take anyway..
My friend went through this with her dad. We aren't even 40. He dad died a few years ago in his early 50s and still refused to make amends with his daughter because she married a black man. He made amends with the rest of his children who refused to help pay for his funeral and my friend's husband is the one that paid for it even though his father-in-law hated him simply because of his skin color. Her husband and I convinced her to go to the hospital she was conflicted and I said you don't want to regret not going even if nothing resolves you will still have that regret on your heart and you don't want that. I went with her to pick her father's ashes up and it was very sad because the father she had known growing up was not the loving caring man that she remembered. And I felt so horrible for her husband who his only sin was his skin and yet still had such a heart that he was not going to let some man that hated him be buried in a pauper's grave.
My boyfriend and I are a gay interracial couple. He’s Filipino and I’m Italian and I love him more than anything in the world. The people in this video are all about love and fighting for that love… and that’s beautiful 🙏 Never let race, politics, religion, or anything like that stand in the way of happiness. We are more than those things. If you stripped us of them and put us into a different body, we would still be us. The soul is what’s really important and there’s no better food for the soul than love itself ^^

WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO GET PERMISSION TO MARRY WHO THEY WANT TO
The Delaveau's That was the culture and condition of America at the time. And still in many ways, these relationships are still somewhat frowned upon.
It was not legal in the US at that time to marry someone of a different race, just as same sex marriage was not permitted until recently.
well unless you want to marry a child of course, but if its a tree go for it
The Delaveau's doesn’t matter love would conquer it’s has in my home for 24 years
maybe not seek permission but you still care about those closest to you (mom, dad, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt, cousin) and you want them to like your partner. It always hurts someone when a barrier forms between you and your family because of your choices but many countries have made it clear now that a choice can prevail and you can just go on and do what you think is right (even if your family doesn't like it). I myself have suggested the possibility of marriage outside our circle, beyond that of our common practice which is endogamy. We have tribes in our country and people prefer to be in an intimiate relationship with the those of the same tribe. I don't mind it but I don't want my life to be planned or certain choices to be expected so marriage outside our group would be interesting to me.
Their last name makes for an iconic court name. Loving v. Virginia, kind of telling that....
Right
Idk if you're dumb or creepy prob both! Never heard anyone compare names to supreme court case! This girl is shady #getlost
@@joefountaine5547 are you okay?
@@weirdrelationz3444 fine.. did I miss something?
Joe Fountaine just that their name, Loving, was so apropos to this case.
As a mixed race child I can say that this still goes on. It started with my Grandparents, my grandmother was a Greek-Cypriot, she married first another Greek man who use to beat her black and blue, but that was considered fine with her family because he was Greek. When she found the courage to leave and eventually divorce him after he threated her life at knifepoint she was shunned by her family (this was in 1930s England). She met my Grandfather, as English as they come and fell in love, but because he wasn't Greek they hated him and told my Grandmother to her face, we want nothing to do with you. She married him regardless, because he made her happy. (Many stories from my mother of laughing while cooking together and sweet little footnotes on baking recipes).
My mother was raised in a primarily Greek household (Greek traditions, foods, spoke Greek at home) but sadly my Grandfather died of Lung Cancer when she was little, so it was only my Grandmother and mother. According to stories my mum's told me, no sooner after a week of my Grandfather's passing my Grandmother's family wrote to her telling her she deserved what had happened to my Grandfather. How she stayed so strong for my mother throughout it I don't know. Sadly, she followed my Grandfather not too long after, passing of breast cancer when my mother was sixteen. Unfortunately that meant she was forced to stay with my Grandmother's family (Grandad's family weren't as bad but cut ties with him for marrying my grandmother). They took every opportunity to make sure she married a Greek man, taking her on supervised dates with potential matches, not allowing her to have any male friends of a different race, etc.
When my mother fell in love and married my father, they threw a hissy-fit, tv's plates, forks were thrown at her. He's as Irish as they come and the racist remarks that were thrown his way, oh boy! He'll be out drinking every night, he's gonna beat you, he'll get you pregnant and then leave you, etc. Yet much like my Grandmother, my mother loved my mother and married him anyways. And that resulted in me.
Unlike my siblings I'm a lot darker in skintone, more-so than my mother, having a complexation closer to my Grandmother. Whereas my siblings are white-passing (I.e., they look Irish at a glance). When I met my partner's parents for the first time, the first thing they asked was how good is my English. Followed by a rather invasive question of, if we were to have kids (me and my partner) who would be the donor (I'd give them the benefit of the doubt, but the way they said it, in tone and how it came across meant "we don't want dark grandkids"). Thankfully, I found my own pillar of strength in my partner like my Grandmother and Mother before me, he was quick to call his parents out much to my surprise as he's usually a very quite and even somewhat shy person normally.
You aren’t mixed race, Greeks are white.
@@Lakata125 Being mixed raced also refer to a mix of ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. In my case, my grandmother is Greek-Cypriot, my grandfather is English, and my father is Irish. These diverse cultural influences make up my mixed heritage, for example, I grew up speaking Greek and English at home. While Greeks may be considered part of the broader 'white' category, being mixed race is more about the combination of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds within a family. Hope this helps you understand better :)
@@svtfoesuperfan7438That is the best 'educate yourself' comment I've read, W comment my guy! 😂😂😂
@@Lakata125Bruh, imagine trying to insult someone by telling them how to identify with their heritage and not understanding how genetics work 😂🤡
@@svtfoesuperfan7438 Culture ≠ race. The genetic difference between Mediterraneans and Anglos isn’t big enough to be considered mixed race, but if you want to identify as such then I’m not gonna stop you.
My goodness, the first couple, the woman in the purple blazer, she is just breathtakingly beautiful. I wish I could see a picture of her when she was younger. Don’t get me wrong, she is the epitome of gorgeous even in her older age, but I can’t help but want to see their wedding photos! A truly beautiful woman!
Repeate those words please.......
As a white man who is married to a black/Mexican woman who has given me two beautiful children, I will say this - there is only one race... Human. Know it, live it, love it, embrace it. :)
Louis Mazzei can't find your own so just take what ever in front of you.

thank you and that is coming from a black woman married to a white man for 25 years
You’re very lucky to have love in your life
What a lucky lady, she is to have you 😄
As a white man going to marry a black woman, I can never watch this enough. My own Polish-born father had some hesitation at first, I think, because it was so different for him. Fast forward almost 4 years. My family absolutely adores my girl.
Don't you mean your woman?
@@Armistead_MacSkye both! She's both like my grade-school crush and my badass woman forever.
@@stevej.7926 wow!always love her💯
Steve J I remember dating my now polish ex and his father hated me with a passion. He tried to get “ suitable polish girls with blonde hair and blue eyes” for him but I guess he found out it wasn’t a phase. That was 10 years ago. He is now married to black woman. And I’m married to a white Italian man.
@@doreensika837 People can evolve! And Polish people are particularly understandably tribal given their history. But the soul is ultimately what matters most.
Very very touching. I couldn't watch this with dry eyes.
What a beautiful video. I wish these couples nothing but love and happiness 💕
My grandmother remarried in her 40s to a white Man and he’s the best and only grandfather who has been in my life consistently. ❤️❤️❤️ love is love 😍
Genie Love What a sweet thing to say! God Bless you!
Genie Love 😍😍😍 i’m white (i dislike my skin it’s not beautiful) I’ve always wanted to have a tan skin. So when I see people avoiding mixing races , i just wanna say that nooooobody would have my skin during summer haha .
Btw your message is so cute , mixed families are so beautiful 😍 it’s just a color it’s not a big deal I’ve never understood racism I swear 🙄

Laure Crp Don’t dislike your skin because you are white. Be proud of yourself. This kind of white shaming and white guilt is destroying our people.
I am a black woman living with my white husband in Canada. We have been married for 24 years and we’ve never had a problems. I would not change a thing. We have a wonderful life with 3 incredible boys.
I'm glad you were in a nice part of Canada. I've heard some words thrown at some people there.
Bless you and your family. ❤️
Beautiful! :))
@@indrishahdorval3094 I'm guessing by the comment you never been to canada? Lol she may have just been lucky in the right area but Canada has plenty of racist on black and white side just as USA does.
You never had problems because it's Canada... United States are so wrong in many levels. My mother is married for 20 years with my step father who is a white man. Everyone compliment at them because they were so beautiful and in love together. Then, few years ago they traveled in USA and a couple months and they told me they never saw an interracial couple at the street. Strangers was staring at them on the street as if they were aliens. That says a lot... United States is on a downward slope.
I find this being an issue so boring. Not in a disrespectful way. I just think people who are racist are the lamest people in existence. Two consenting adults should be able to love each other however they want.
What a wonderful uplifting story board - I love it! Thank you for sharing
I’m married to a black woman. It’s the best thing that’s EVER happened to me. All the people in this video are beautiful stand up human beings. Love doesn’t care about color.
I'm black married to Asian, I love my black people and all races I just fell in love with an Asian. -Our kids are beautiful family reunions are the best. -I'm happy for you man, lets get rid of these Racist from our society so the human race can get to the next level and travel the stars.
Daso1n thank you so much for your kind words. Love is love. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not always easy. The cultural stuff pops up every once in awhile and kicks you in the ass but I’m a better human being because of my wife. Again thanks!!!!

My grandma told me "have fun in college, but do NOT bring home a black man"... that ignorant statement (or request) has haunted me since then, and calling her out on her racism has lost me my relationship with my entire family. They are in denial. Major denial.
I'm mixed race myself and my mom told me how much discrimination she had to face back in the 80s when she had my oldest sister and being married to a black man while being a white woman with a mixed raced child. This was also in Germany and mind you, my German grandparents were 16 and 13 when world war 2 ended (so very much grown up with the Nazi mindset). To say they weren't happy that she had 4 mixed raced kids, is an understatement. Growing up in Germany, it took me a long time to accept my skin color when my own family treated me like I was inferior to them.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that❤
" I could go on loving him, without marriage certificate. " Damn!
the fact that their last name is “loving” speaks volumes. 💟
Yes! Perfect name that got this started!💙💗

I can’t believe we’re still having a race discussion in 2020.
Join the rest of us in reality.
I could...
I love how the age of social media shed light on issues that we knew never went away
We have a Nazi as a president and Congress still cosigns with Jim crow laws.
Unfortunately, racism is as American as apple pie.
Ms. Loving has a beautifully simple morality. Untouched by bias and well...the bullish of this dived and conquer world despite feeling it herself. Shes was really something special and Mr. Loving sure knew how to pick em!🙌❤
i love interracial couples/marriages so much and i love how this video displayed many interracial couples, just one note that interracial couples aren't just with a white & black person, there are many other versions of interracial couples and i kinda wish that this network would've shown that but it's all good, have a great day y'all!
My husband is black and I am Korean and Hawaiian and we have been married for over 20 years!!!!! We have 4 children. Color could never stop the love we have for each other. Still in Love til this day!!!!❤

Hawaii likely has the highest % of mixed population of any of the states.
Lady in purple looks even better at her older age than when she was younger.
Her and her husband are a very classy, they would turn heads due to their elegance.
@Nina Sincheta 🤣😂🤣 girl
They never showed a younger version of her. What you saw was a video of the Loving family. The woman is Ms. Loving.
Lady in purple clearly had some work done on her face but it's very well-done and understated. She's definitely had a face-lift and botox but it doesn't look awful (we've all seen pics of celebs who overdo their plastic surgery). Her surgery complements her existing appearance and streamlines it, instead of creating features that were never there.
Nevada Polite its not the lack of wrinkles genius, it is the obvious cheek fillers. The way the perioral area stretches to the filled cheek area is a classic "fixed up" look.
But like someone said, it doesn't look that over the top on her. Looks good on her.
I remember walking through a park with my boyfriend (Spanish) and me Jamaican and a group of black guys looking at us strangely in 2021…Even my own mother has a problem with my relationship and other family members’ interracial relationships. People are still very much closed minded and it’s very pathetic.
Noone in the world has a notion "interracial". In other countries than US they say he or she is together with a foreigner, and the more exotic the foreigner the more suspicious. And people dont like foreigners. But its another category
than caste racism.
Here in New Orleans interracial unions are not even blinked at. When I see a 'mixed' couple on the street, invariably their kids are absolutely gorgeous. As for them - they are just getting on with their lives - being normal folks. Minding their business, (something we might wanna consider doing.)
Probably because of the influences of the French colonizers that New Orleans does not care about intermixing. The French unlike the English accepted mixed kids.. I am from Haiti, during colonization, the children of slaves had rights and were regarded as humans unlike English and Americans.

Your kids will be black
@@shonajordan1553 I meant "mexican" or "latino" is not a race. There are black mexicans (a few), mestizos, asian mexicans, blonde mexicans, redhead mexicans, etc...

Lovely. What a great video. "everyone takes note when you enter a room". Boy that is true. No one ever forgets me and my wife.
Klara being very transparent about the racial divide is so prevalent and true. Im mixed and my grandmother recounts her upbringing and its very apparent my moms side of the family was/is very uneducated about just how unaware white people are of the society they set up.
Not seeing color or not caring the the sexuality of people is NOT acceptance. Its not diversity, its not anti-racism. Its very refreshing to see interracial couples where the white counter part is very aware of the complexities that come with being a person of color, because so many people think that just because they arent in the kkk or aren't advocating for our death does not mean they arent racist or making the world safe. My mother has only mixed kids and she is so uncaring and unaffected by how we grew up in a hyper white community and the issues we faced. She never thought through moving us away from our other side of the family, never gave us opportunities to connect with our culture, and only learned about what it meant to be mixed by white people's interpretation....in the deep south.
We still have such a long way to go with racism.
My hubby is Nigerian and I'm Australian. My family have always been so welcoming and accepting, I found it has been my "friends" and work colleagues that have been unacceptabing and judgemental. Prejudice still exists and it's so upsetting.

Cynthia Dickerson I do agree with you.. if it was me i would told my parents if he ain't welcome at the table then neither am i. And would turn around and walk out the door.. and that would been last they see of us ..👏👏👍
Amarilis lady shut up
My fiancé is Mexican-American and I am white. We also have a 20 year age gap, so when the man said that everywhere he goes, he is intimately aware that they are an interracial couple, I felt that. However, all of his family and friends have welcomed me in, like I’ve been a part of the family forever. This should be a non-issue, but unfortunately, it could be brought back up again with the current composition of the Supreme Court
Mexicans aren’t racial, 99% of us aren’t! Mexico itself is an interracial country since the 1500s! The Catholic Church and Spanish empire allowed inter racial marriages since the mid 1500s in Mexico and all Spanish America! A Spanish man could marriage an African, Filipino or black woman or vice Versa. Mexicans are very accepting of everyone, as long as they are nice to us we are usually nice to them. I’m Mexican/Native American, 56% Aztec genetics and 44% Spanish European! Mexico is basically a mixed race country, with 80-90%+ of the population being European and Native American, and African mix!
@@LewisC-iu3hhthis!

JMlifestyle tv that’s so sad they wishing negativity on their marriage
That's sad for Gail's family to pray she doesn't get pregnant. Some people will never accept interracial relationships and that is there choice. When you use God to hide behind it, that is just too much.
Her family might see the light eventually. I hope they do.
Taura Helms unfortunately that is a sad truth and happens more than you know. Happened to me as well.My spouse is white.
Thank you for what you have said. God loves all people regardless of what racist people think is the truth from the bible. Peace and love forever!
You don't know if that's the entire story. My mom has a friend that was in an interracial relationship that her parents didnt approve of, but it's mostly cause the guy was a recovering drug addict and couldn't keep a steady job. They probably would've been more accepting if the guy wasn't so troubled. They eventually divorced, but I'm sure he probably goes around telling people they hated him just because he was white.
Amina Melancon SO THAT BLACK GIRL WENT WITH A DRUG ADDICT WHITE MAN??? AND THEY HAVE THE BALLS TO SAY BLACK MAN IS NO GOOD, SOME OF THESE BLACK WOMEN HAVE TO SHAME AT ALL....LOL
