I began a relationship with an Indian woman about 10 months ago and it’s been the best thing that has ever happened to me. Similar to you and your husband we feel so similar and so on the same page that we’re taking the relationship more and more seriously. Currently her parents are reacting the way yours did and your story about standing your ground and fighting for your right to love is inspiring and gives me hope that in due time (and being a good significant other to her) the animosity, racism, hate, and fear will go away. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
sam Anonymous strongest men. Black men. Greatest sportsmen. Black men. Fastest long distance runners. Black man. Greatest voices. Sing like angels, sweet, rhythmic and melodic. Black people. Can dance in time, have natural rhythm. Black people. Brilliant at anything we do. Black people. Little coolie man go and sleep yuh hear me.
sam Anonymous u could never be us u are not black for sure but u damn well ain't white. U want to be but u are not. U are failures from a stinky shithole country trying to be 1st world but still pooping in public places.
sam Anonymous hmmmm all the coolie doctors could not save the coolies who committed suicide with poison. An African doctor with the secret knowledge of herbs and dirt used to save these coolies useless lives. They drank dirt from the hands of a black man and lived.
sam Anonymous let me cause you nightmares....google Mandingo, Lexx Steele, Jack Napier, Mr. T, Brian Pumper... U will cry trust me. Outta your league son.
In the United States its common for Indian woman to be with black men. I'm Indian and I married a Black man and we have a beautiful 21 year old daughter.
LMAOOOOO you’re joking right, very few Indians (as of right now because most Americans with Indian ancestry are children of immigrants) have interracial relationships, and even fewer have Indian women, and almost zero are with blacks.
+Roney Binning she wasn’t being racist at all. She was simply pointing out an evident aspect of truth. +T-NRP Common doesn’t have to mean that something’s popular just that it’s not out of the ordinary, meaning that yes this is something that happens. She’s basically pointing out that this kind of relationship exists in the United States too. Just like the phrase “Common Man”; I don’t know if you’ve heard that phrase, but of course we’re not all men but it is a phrase that encompasses all individuals woman and man alike or what we would commonly refer to as human beings. She shouldn’t be attacked for a viewpoint that wasn’t implied. This is a video specifically focusing on an Indian woman’s relationship with a black man she was just expressing an observation she noticed based off it. But sorry for the long rant I just had to comment and say this because I simply hope for the peace n love between my fellow human beings without us always feeling the need to attack one another especially over the simplest things or things simply misunderstood. I simply wish everyone Peace and Love +Jane Doe, +Roney Binning, + T-NRP
That is awesome, as an African man married to my wonderful Japanese darling for almost 20 yrs & with 2 incredible kids, I salute you. As you already know, kids don't see color. Only good or bad people. Be blessed.
I mean...so what? Both of you are black anyway! There's African girl that are even fairer than her. You should talk about culture here its all about the culture. God bless you all
Indians can be as black skinned-& even darker- than black people. Who are they to discriminate black??? Dont fool yourself that you are better because you have straight hair. The mirror does not lie.Black is original & great.
utube Being considered Black is not merely about skin colour but also about ancestry, hair type, facial structure etc. This whole racism thing is just simply demonic.
Hmmmm, Indians are people of color as are Africans, and pigmentation is not a race, so I feel in many ways this video continues to perpetuate the ignorance and mindset of many
I'm very happy to hear your family has gotten over racism. I hope your marriage grows strongly and is an example to others to be more positive and accepting of each other.
Luc Desprets he is probably taking care of her entire family with his money. That's the compromise for marrying a black man. They are racist to the core.
Wow! There is hope for South Africa. I am Black Southern African with a daughter of mixed heritage (the mother has North African Arab heritage) and am worried what living in the racially charged European environment will do to her. The narrative is that there is more freedom but I generally find that African women are stronger and much clearer in thought than European women. For instance, the way you assert yourself as a woman without putting down men but addressing the issues is just so powerful. I hope my daughter gets that level of confidence in who she is and what the issues are and where she stands on them. Thank you for saying and communicating a lot in a very short video.
Adrian Lunga Damn! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! ARAB PEOPLE ARE FULL OF SHIT. READ your own damn history of what the Arabs did to African people especially African women. Their slave trade was worse than the European slave trade to America and the rest of the world.
"Regardless of colour of our skin" I'm sorry but I class "us" Indians, pakistanis, srilankan and Bangladeshi as black.. both of your colour is not much different but you may be from a different background!!
Shabnam Khan the skin color is the same true when looking at Indians and South Africans, but race is not just about skin color, it’s also about ethnicity, culture and family background.
Shabnam Khan well said! I would say the same. No matter the skin colour we all bleed the same when we are cut and came into the same world and we are all going to leave the world and go to the same place when we all die. Everybody is different but we are all Equal!
I AM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH. THE FACT THAT YOUR BLACK AS WELL IN COLOUR, SHOULD MAKE IT EASIER AS IF I SAW YOU GUY'S I WOULDN'T EVEN NOTICE AS YOU YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN. IGNORE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY. YOU MAKE A LOVELY COUPLE. GOD BLESS YOU.
I happy for u guys my dad is indian my mom is black so i am a beautiful mix of black an indian in the caribbean on the beautiful island of St Vincent and the Grenadines where i live they call us duglah so i wish u both and your daughter happiness
All these comments... clearly they don't know anything about south Africa and how we as south Africans do have our own race, and every race has it's own culture and Indians are not black in south Africa. She is completely right. I'm proud of you. #proudlycoloured.
God bless you and your family . We in Trinidad , West Indies , are of mixed races . So many different races . So many people of mixed races . You people who made racial comments , come and see us living together and come and celebrate our Carnival . P.ay mas with us . Hatred is a burden to your soul . If you haters knew Jesus , you will hate no more .
We're humans at the end of the day so whoever a person choose to love, that's their choice and society need not be so taboo about relationships. I support interracial dating ✊ ✊ ✊ ✊ ✊
This is such a wonderful story, I'm so glad that people are seeing beyond the false teachings. Love is a good thing no matter what color, You both are beautiful Enjoy each other to the fullest. Happy is Happy no matter what anyone says.
I think I understand what you have said, although it would be helpful for you reconsider some of the phrases you use, such as 'different races', 'he is black', etc. I see very little, if any difference between your skin and that of your partner. If there is any differences between you and your partner, it is more of a cultural/ethnic difference than anything else. You all belong to the only race which exists; the human races. You are all humans
Taku2u - OWOHROD. The human race ideology does not work with Indians. Have you ever looked at the caste system the inflict on themselves back home? I say Idi Amin the lot of them express delivery.
Taku2u - OWOHROD. She shouldn't have said "the colour of our skin". I think the both of them are the same colour; instead she should've said, Indian and Negro. We are all humans, and that's true, but you seemed to not know, that there are different races.
Nice1 EvenBetter Yes true. I am Asian myself and find the caste system the shitest problem. Indians are racist to themselves there is self hate in some of them not all! divide and conquer It's what the British taught them when India and south asia was under the British rule back in the day it's still in Indian people's minds nowadays very sad.
As a Man of Color, I say date who ever you like, just remember this... You can’t criticize what you’ve NEVER experienced. Unfortunately, I don’t see or hear about many African-American and Indian couples and it’s really sad that people would allow false narratives, stereotypes and misconceptions to dictate their dating options. Love is Love and should not be tainted by the aforementioned negatives, however it takes a strong minded individual to step outside of their comfort zone in order to truly experience life to the utmost extent. Indian Women... please do not think that white is the end all be all of excellence. This is one of the biggest false narratives that you could ever fall for. Please exercise your intellect, use logic and snap out of the myth of Caste or Color being a factor in whether you should date someone or not. (If it happens to present itself as a factor.) It’s 2018 and its time to be who you want to be and not who you family expects you to be. Your parents will always be your parents. They may be shocked at your decision to bring a man of color home initially, because is conflicts which their preconceived social norms and they might even feel embarrassed based on image or any other preconceived notions regarding men of color, however those are their respective feelings and that is their life. You can not live for other people’s feelings or wishes. Parents may even issue guilt trips or even temporarily reject you, but the power of love will eventually overpower those temporary emotions. In conclusion, lose the lame labels, misconceptions, stereotypes, false narratives and preconceived notions of INDIVIDUALS, simply based on Caste or Color and enjoy your life on your own terms and not the terms of others. Stay Beautiful.
You're missing the point. She is a different race and she is proud of her Indian heritage w/o putting down another race feel worthy. And there is absolutely nothing wrong. What I don't appreciate is some Indian tendency to look down on African in order to feel their self worth.
It's not about color. In Kenya, some tribes do not intermarry because of different cultural backgrounds, even though they maybe the same color. Love ofcourse conquers all at the end of the day and it's about compromise and sacrifice if you love each other.
MINDASIE HA HA THOSE RACIST INDIANS REALLY FEEL THEY ARE WHITE. I LIVE IN THE CARIBBEAN NAMELY TRINIDAD AND THEY ARE REAL RACIST. THEY PRACTICE APATHIED . THEY DONT LIKE AFRICAN PEOPLE. THEY HOWEVER LIKE TO USE US. SURE THAT AFRICAN BROTHER NOT BEING USED FOR SOME REASON??????????????
I'm married to a brown-skinned beautiful Indian woman. Me and my wife talk about this from time to time and we both agree that the one thing Indians got to get over is this post-colonial hang up with skin tone. Indian people are obsessed with that nonsense and I don't see why . You are beautiful people dark or light and should be embarrassed to be so shallow about skin tone. People using Fair and Lovely when it's a fact that changing your skin tone does not make you attractive. Lol. Sorry but it doesn't. Lighter skin does not equate to beauty. Beauty is about facial symmetry and how well a woman takes care of herself. I've seen extremely gorgeous light or dark skinned women and some unattractive ones whether they are black, Hispanic, Oriental Asian or Indian. Beauty has nothing to do with skin tone. If you guys don't begin to see this, as the world globalizes more, outside men will increasingly take your dark/smooth/silky skinned gorgeous Indian women as wives because we see them as exotic and sexy. Black, white, Hispanic men all see the beauty in them but not most Indian men. You guys are 200 years behind on this while the world has evolved as far as beauty standards are concerned. I've even heard of Indian men that are ashamed of their own children because of their skin tone. Now that's sick. Get over this pigmentocracy nonsense. It destroys the self esteem of your girls until they meet one of us.
Namaste! I met Nisha in 1999. We have dated under a veil of secrecy for years. She is a strict vegetarian Hindu while I am a non vegetarian Baptist man. She was caretaker here in NYC for her now deceased father who never knew. When her mother came she told her about us. Her mother said "Why now?". That was in 2010. Her mother has come to care about me even though I can't go to the home. She even does Puja for me. Her mother has cancer and Nisha is devoted to her. We are passed child bearing age. We are so deeply connected and in love I don't mind the wait. Sometimes I wish she was like you but then she wouldn't be Nisha. She has overcome the stares and comments as we are not overly physical. I just wanted to write because as you know, you are not alone. When we're able to marry I will send you an invite. God bless you and the family. Thanks for posting. Namaste.
the reason why i replied ws to know the nature of the issue...we have this in the caribbean also...everyone is trying to identify everbody and really we are just GOD'S children and at the end of it we are all just here for a little time so we should be able to support each other....Bless up
Alex gilliam if you were a white man you would have been given her blessings. U sound crazy. I am not loving nobody whose family cannot accept how GOD made me. U torturing yourself for what ? Love ? Fool.
Marriages like this are common in the caribbean. My Grandma was 3/4indian and 1/4 Scottish and my granda was black Grenadian. It is what it is. My children are whatever I am and Bengali we arn't getting on.
@yes my child narendra koomar, after we ALL men of India(actually when we were young) left your mom after enjoying, she married your dad....so you have the right to say about your whole family & generations.
Indian dude living in SOUTH Africa the land of Nelson Mandela and the heart of Africa saying no to a black african man to marry his daughter really? Unbelievable! !!!
Just a precision, during the apartheid, the Indian community boycotted the elections bringing to the creation of 3 separate parliaments (white, black, half-blood), while the community half-blood called to vote for the text.
im shocked when you say you was afraid of what your family will say dating a man of a differenat skin color, he is the same skin color as you! or close to yours hehehe. If you was dating a white man then the color would stand out, but your african boyfriend and you are not that far off in skin shades so you both dont stand out if in public. If you are in america no one would know your are from india unless your start to speak. You should be fine in society without racism, especially in america lol
I am a Black/ African American womem and iam married to a Indian man. We have been married for 5 years this coming july. I have gotten nothing but kidness and love from my husband's community, family and friends i find i have gotten more hatred and disapproval from Americans. They have done all kinds of things from staring to nasty coments. Which i find pathetic, closed minded and just a shame. For me if it wasn't for my family and my husbands loving family and friends a the support of such a beautiful Indian culture and its people it might bother me more what others think but it don't
Pradeep who are you to tell me who or what my racial background is, what you want a picture. Like i said I am a America/black women with a wonderful indian husband. But I'm give you a life lesson don't judge people by a surname sweetie. My mother was married to my stepfather who was bi-racial who's surname of Scott I was given as a child. So honey next time you want to try and speak your mind make sure you know the facts first.
PATRICIA SCOTT , Thanks for clearing the surname thing sweetie. If it wasn't for your way of expressing anger, I would still be thinking that you are a white women. Anyway, I wish you both a happy and prosperous life ahead👍
Pradeep 😆 your funny to tell the truth i wasn't going to reply at first but it was the fact that you thought i was a white woman that lit the fire. I have no anger or disrespect for you i understand the need to protect the Indian man but i thought did she just call me a white women. I have nothing but respect thank you
PATRICIA SCOTT , As you said, your surname is borrowed so hence I was right to think you are a white women which is not, after you explained. You should protect the black man as they are not able to invent and do the needful to bring up a complex society. There is no doubt that black women try their best to control their men, but it is not enough. I think you are not a 'she' but a 'he'. You have that fire sweetie😆. All the best.
Yes, you having a lot in common and loving each other is what really counts. It is not about family, etc, your family cannot live your life for you and it is not reasonable for a family to expect a member of the family to live their life for the family!
I don't see a problem here, I don't understand your objection. When talking about her husband, you have to look at it in terms of race. The comment "you are not even white" is kind of puzzling to me. Do you think one has to be white to say she is married to a black SA? There are other races besides white and black. Indians are dark, but they don't consider themselves blacks as black is usually viewed as "black Africans"
The Earth Day will be that 'GREAT DAY' when all races will be mixed and blended to complete the creation cycle, which has put everyone in this melting pot!
For those who pretend to not know, the word black is used to mean people of African descent, or do they still think everyone is African (theory debunked) lol.
Arnold baboola, you're quite right that black usually refers to black African or people in the diaspora of African descent. However, Indians tends to run away from "black" as characteristic of skin color. It is also true that there is a large portion of Indian population whose skin color is black , same as Africans or people of African descent. There is nothing to debunk here. It is true that a large population in India is I black. Trying to argue that because they are NOT African, therefore their skin cannot be referred as black is a false argument that has no merit.
I never really understood the challenges SA faces in molding together a society. Listening to her describe very subtly what the former apartheid government did to the psyche of its citizens is illuminating. It took them years to get to the marriage stage but watching her, she had him from the start. I really like her accent.
Your passion for fairness will serve your family. You child and husband should consider herself lucky to have you. It is also refreshing to see how candid you are, it comes through in your talk.
R Guled Of course there is nothing wrong with it. But I am not brown and I am not white. What would u call me then? U can see me in my vid. Just curious now.
This woman's family attitudes are no different than any other non-black race of people. The funny thing is many Indian's skin tone is just as dark as black people's. If she and her husband were to walk down any street in America no one would no the difference until they open their mouths and heard the accents.
Until few minutes into the video I thought you are indian from the country india but you are South African and so is your husband..so what is the big deal? And no offense your skin is not different from most black people's skin so I don't even know why you kept mentioning skin color🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️I am happy for you guys though..
I wish you both a happy married life don't mind what people think if you both are happy with each other people and opinions mean nothing God bless both of you just wondering what country you're from because I'm Indian as well T&T...
As much as am happy for you finding true love I would want you to realise that you are black as well because judging from the way you talk it seems you are kind of confused of your racial identity.

U south are beautiful people , your daughter just show you color true eyes of child , I love what are you saying . BTW im white . Happy New Year and STOP seeing colors :) We all HUMANS .
Wow you are such a brave woman thumbs up to you. Its not about apartheid but a long established taboo that Indians marrying blacks is a no go area and its the world over even in America and Europe. Your husband is a lucky lucky man! Wow
You can go to Suriname and people don't care. You are talking like you are the 1st Indian women married a black man . In Suriname you will see alot of them
Sweet life to you both. Such a beautiful, intelligent lady! May you be blessed with good health, long life, wealth and many happy, healthy children! Texas, U.S.A.
Sabh Restman I am part African and part Indian but I have dark skin and full African features The Indians that are in my family are light skinned and have long straight hair (obviously)..so.....i know there are many different types of indians...but I just want to figure out the type that my family is comprised of...can you help?
Sabh Restman My great grand parents are full blooded Indians on both of my mother and father's side. I also have full blooded Indian aunts and uncles and half blooded aunts and uncles I am from the Caribbean...from the island of St.Vincent and the Grenadines My mother told me that i have families in India but they would not know who we are....because my great grandfather (x times) and his family are all from India, that is why she told me that. Plus I look more African than Indian because the African genes took over ..only difference is that i have very loose hair.
Sabh Restman I dont understand..lol I was born and raised in St.vincent So how could I be those things you said I am? People would view me as an African despite my Indian background.
So you are saying you are not black....poor you, am sure my country in the Caribbean has a lot of Indians and they can never call themselves anything but black. The problem is your old ancient culture and out dated practice....buy black woman
The worst thing is their daughter according to her says she's not African but a bit of this and bit of that. Notice she never said but I'm not Asian. Even at that age being African is discounted.
Happy for you both but just got turned off when you talk about the color of your skin. You are just as black as your husband my dear. No offense to you but I don't know why Indian people think for moment that they're white including you. Again you are not a white woman and you're not making any sense to me. I am black and very proud to be.
This happens in my country also the Indians don't really accept their children with someone of African race. They don't mind any other race but not African.
I began a relationship with an Indian woman about 10 months ago and it’s been the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Taku2u - OWOHROD. The human race ideology does not work with Indians. Have you ever looked at the caste system the inflict on themselves back home? I say Idi Amin the lot of them express delivery.
Taku2u - OWOHROD.
She shouldn't have said "the colour of our skin". I think the both of them are the same colour; instead she should've said, Indian and Negro.
We are all humans, and that's true, but you seemed to not know, that there are different races.
Nice1 EvenBetter Yes true. I am Asian myself and find the caste system the shitest problem. Indians are racist to themselves there is self hate in some of them not all! divide and conquer It's what the British taught them when India and south asia was under the British rule back in the day it's still in Indian people's minds nowadays very sad.
As a Man of Color, I say date who ever you like, just remember this... You can’t criticize what you’ve NEVER experienced. Unfortunately, I don’t see or hear about many African-American and Indian couples and it’s really sad that people would allow false narratives, stereotypes and misconceptions to dictate their dating options. Love is Love and should not be tainted by the aforementioned negatives, however it takes a strong minded individual to step outside of their comfort zone in order to truly experience life to the utmost extent. Indian Women... please do not think that white is the end all be all of excellence. This is one of the biggest false narratives that you could ever fall for. Please exercise your intellect, use logic and snap out of the myth of Caste or Color being a factor in whether you should date someone or not. (If it happens to present itself as a factor.) It’s 2018 and its time to be who you want to be and not who you family expects you to be. Your parents will always be your parents. They may be shocked at your decision to bring a man of color home initially, because is conflicts which their preconceived social norms and they might even feel embarrassed based on image or any other preconceived notions regarding men of color, however those are their respective feelings and that is their life. You can not live for other people’s feelings or wishes. Parents may even issue guilt trips or even temporarily reject you, but the power of love will eventually overpower those temporary emotions. In conclusion, lose the lame labels, misconceptions, stereotypes, false narratives and preconceived notions of INDIVIDUALS, simply based on Caste or Color and enjoy your life on your own terms and not the terms of others. Stay Beautiful.
GREETINGS FROM INDIA, A VERY STRONG PERSONALITY YOU ARE AWARE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO , I CAN UNDERSTAND FROM YOUR SPEECH , GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY
The people on this site that make neg comments need to travel more to understand your point. In my eyes it's love.❤💚💜💙
U are black Indian and he is black African ......so what ?
She is black/darker skin though! I don’t see no difference between actual black skin color and her color! Smh!
You're missing the point. She is a different race and she is proud of her Indian heritage w/o putting down another race feel worthy. And there is absolutely nothing wrong. What I don't appreciate is some Indian tendency to look down on African in order to feel their self worth.
I don't understand, do all Indians feels white? She is black! "The Colour of my skin!" What a feeling it is!
Minasie Gessesse hahaha
Minasie Gessesse ha ha yeah....she talks lime she is white. There are many Indians who are darker than Black Folk.
It's not about color. In Kenya, some tribes do not intermarry because of different cultural backgrounds, even though they maybe the same color. Love ofcourse conquers all at the end of the day and it's about compromise and sacrifice if you love each other.
Psssssst she is Dark White 🤣🤣🤣
MINDASIE HA HA THOSE RACIST INDIANS REALLY FEEL THEY ARE WHITE. I LIVE IN THE CARIBBEAN NAMELY TRINIDAD AND THEY ARE REAL RACIST. THEY PRACTICE APATHIED . THEY DONT LIKE AFRICAN PEOPLE. THEY HOWEVER LIKE TO USE US. SURE THAT AFRICAN BROTHER NOT BEING USED FOR SOME REASON??????????????
If you're a Tamil Indian then you're of African descent.
I'm married to a brown-skinned beautiful Indian woman. Me and my wife talk about this from time to time and we both agree that the one thing Indians got to get over is this post-colonial hang up with skin tone. Indian people are obsessed with that nonsense and I don't see why . You are beautiful people dark or light and should be embarrassed to be so shallow about skin tone. People using Fair and Lovely when it's a fact that changing your skin tone does not make you attractive. Lol. Sorry but it doesn't. Lighter skin does not equate to beauty. Beauty is about facial symmetry and how well a woman takes care of herself. I've seen extremely gorgeous light or dark skinned women and some unattractive ones whether they are black, Hispanic, Oriental Asian or Indian. Beauty has nothing to do with skin tone. If you guys don't begin to see this, as the world globalizes more, outside men will increasingly take your dark/smooth/silky skinned gorgeous Indian women as wives because we see them as exotic and sexy. Black, white, Hispanic men all see the beauty in them but not most Indian men. You guys are 200 years behind on this while the world has evolved as far as beauty standards are concerned. I've even heard of Indian men that are ashamed of their own children because of their skin tone. Now that's sick. Get over this pigmentocracy nonsense. It destroys the self esteem of your girls until they meet one of us.
B J please ! And black men hate their own women. Spare us the lies and bullshit.
Namaste! I met Nisha in 1999. We have dated under a veil of secrecy for years. She is a strict vegetarian Hindu while I am a non vegetarian Baptist man. She was caretaker here in NYC for her now deceased father who never knew. When her mother came she told her about us. Her mother said "Why now?". That was in 2010. Her mother has come to care about me even though I can't go to the home. She even does Puja for me. Her mother has cancer and Nisha is devoted to her. We are passed child bearing age. We are so deeply connected and in love I don't mind the wait. Sometimes I wish she was like you but then she wouldn't be Nisha. She has overcome the stares and comments as we are not overly physical. I just wanted to write because as you know, you are not alone. When we're able to marry I will send you an invite. God bless you and the family. Thanks for posting. Namaste.
Alex gilliam bless you both....life is short I hope you both make it happen x
Live it
the reason why i replied ws to know the nature of the issue...we have this in the caribbean also...everyone is trying to identify everbody and really we are just GOD'S children and at the end of it we are all just here for a little time so we should be able to support each other....Bless up
Alex gilliam if you were a white man you would have been given her blessings. U sound crazy. I am not loving nobody whose family cannot accept how GOD made me. U torturing yourself for what ? Love ? Fool.
Marriages like this are common in the caribbean. My Grandma was 3/4indian and 1/4 Scottish and my granda was black Grenadian. It is what it is. My children are whatever I am and Bengali we arn't getting on.
Wish you a long and happy life together.
Sister may God bless you and give you strength to love educate people who don't know better thank you
God Bless Both Of You Love From India.
Narendra Kumar you’re pathetic. It’s her life and a grown up woman therefore she does whatever she wants to do.
@yes my child narendra koomar, after we ALL men of India(actually when we were young) left your mom after enjoying, she married your dad....so you have the right to say about your whole family & generations.
I'm dating a black guy. our relationship is growing day by day .God blessed our relationship .Getting married to soon
Indian dude living in SOUTH Africa the land of Nelson Mandela and the heart of Africa saying no to a black african man to marry his daughter really? Unbelievable! !!!
whathappenseveryday lol that is the crazy thing.
but she is Black afterall
Just a precision, during the apartheid, the Indian community boycotted the elections bringing to the creation of 3 separate parliaments (white, black, half-blood), while the community half-blood called to vote for the text.
Sunday Ashiedu idl Amin idiot go back to nursery school.
whathappenseveryday Say that again 😷🇬🇲
Sister God Bless You Love From India.
you are not mixed race but mix culture.
im shocked when you say you was afraid of what your family will say dating a man of a differenat skin color, he is the same skin color as you! or close to yours hehehe. If you was dating a white man then the color would stand out, but your african boyfriend and you are not that far off in skin shades so you both dont stand out if in public. If you are in america no one would know your are from india unless your start to speak. You should be fine in society without racism, especially in america lol
Nii Cole Thank you Indians don’t see that it’s very funny 😁. They think they’ve got different skin colour from Africans how silly 😝 is this.
+sam Anonymous 2019 sleep on it heathen
Congrats, be happy and live life!
Your not white or pink..
Truly Mandela would be happy to see this in the rainbow nation. This brings a big smile to humanity
I am a Black/ African American womem and iam married to a Indian man. We have been married for 5 years this coming july. I have gotten nothing but kidness and love from my husband's community, family and friends i find i have gotten more hatred and disapproval from Americans. They have done all kinds of things from staring to nasty coments. Which i find pathetic, closed minded and just a shame. For me if it wasn't for my family and my husbands loving family and friends a the support of such a beautiful Indian culture and its people it might bother me more what others think but it don't
PATRICIA SCOTT , You are nothing but total bullshit. Never seen a black women with the surname Scott. You are likely a white women with propaganda.
Pradeep who are you to tell me who or what my racial background is, what you want a picture. Like i said I am a America/black women with a wonderful indian husband. But I'm give you a life lesson don't judge people by a surname sweetie. My mother was married to my stepfather who was bi-racial who's surname of Scott I was given as a child. So honey next time you want to try and speak your mind make sure you know the facts first.
PATRICIA SCOTT , Thanks for clearing the surname thing sweetie. If it wasn't for your way of expressing anger, I would still be thinking that you are a white women.
Anyway, I wish you both a happy and prosperous life ahead👍
Pradeep 😆 your funny to tell the truth i wasn't going to reply at first but it was the fact that you thought i was a white woman that lit the fire. I have no anger or disrespect for you i understand the need to protect the Indian man but i thought did she just call me a white women. I have nothing but respect thank you
PATRICIA SCOTT , As you said, your surname is borrowed so hence I was right to think you are a white women which is not, after you explained.
You should protect the black man as they are not able to invent and do the needful to bring up a complex society. There is no doubt that black women try their best to control their men, but it is not enough. I think you are not a 'she' but a 'he'. You have that fire sweetie😆. All the best.
Yes, you having a lot in common and loving each other is what really counts. It is not about family, etc, your family cannot live your life for you and it is not reasonable for a family to expect a member of the family to live their life for the family!
Vice versa He's married to a black Indian. Why you said married to a black SA and you are not even white
I don't see a problem here, I don't understand your objection. When talking about her husband, you have to look at it in terms of race. The comment "you are not even white" is kind of puzzling to me. Do you think one has to be white to say she is married to a black SA? There are other races besides white and black. Indians are dark, but they don't consider themselves blacks as black is usually viewed as "black Africans"
Have to admit that THIS MAKE YOUR LIFE VERY INTERESTING AND WORTH LIVING.
What does color Got to Do with It you should marry who you love. Not the color
Why don't you just say, indian lady and african man? So indians are also white people?
Your daughter is beautiful.
Black is beauty. Am proud to be
The Earth Day will be that 'GREAT DAY' when all races will be mixed and blended to complete the creation cycle, which has put everyone in this melting pot!
Good bless you both but you are black. There's nothing much there. She's black and the family is all back.
She is dark skinned, maybe qualify to be called black skinned, but she is not negroid. And that's what she is implying.
EVERY DAM BODY 😭😂🤣
Amazing! What South African, Asians and Blacks have in common in South Africa??........Is Cricket! Playing it and loving it hahaha.
For those who pretend to not know, the word black is used to mean people of African descent, or do they still think everyone is African (theory debunked) lol.
Arnold baboola, you're quite right that black usually refers to black African or people in the diaspora of African descent. However, Indians tends to run away from "black" as characteristic of skin color. It is also true that there is a large portion of Indian population whose skin color is black , same as Africans or people of African descent.
There is nothing to debunk here. It is true that a large population in India is I black. Trying to argue that because they are NOT African, therefore their skin cannot be referred as black is a false argument that has no merit.
Leave people and follow God
Enjoy your family
I never really understood the challenges SA faces in molding together a society. Listening to her describe very subtly what the former apartheid government did to the psyche of its citizens is illuminating.
It took them years to get to the marriage stage but watching her, she had him from the start. I really like her accent.
AlkebulanLion67 tuuu
Dont forget indians are n ot white.there are so many black indians.i dont get .it.
Your passion for fairness will serve your family. You child and husband should consider herself lucky to have you. It is also refreshing to see how candid you are, it comes through in your talk.
You are also black don,t forget your skin
Elias de silva She s brown.
Then the husband is dark brown.
ether you are black or white in this world, and nothing is wrong with that. she is black afterall
R Guled Of course there is nothing wrong with it. But I am not brown and I am not white. What would u call me then? U can see me in my vid. Just curious now.
R Guled what a stupid comment! Then what is everyone in between!? Also this woman doesn't look Indian. South Indian maybe...
This woman's family attitudes are no different than any other non-black race of people. The funny thing is many Indian's skin tone is just as dark as black people's. If she and her husband were to walk down any street in America no one would no the difference until they open their mouths and heard the accents.
There is only one race. The human race. The rest are illusions
Lovely!!! but how did you settle the dowry issue? in your culture it's quite complex......
Until few minutes into the video I thought you are indian from the country india but you are South African and so is your husband..so what is the big deal? And no offense your skin is not different from most black people's skin so I don't even know why you kept mentioning skin color🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️I am happy for you guys though..
I wish you both a happy married life don't mind what people think if you both are happy with each other people and opinions mean nothing God bless both of you just wondering what country you're from because I'm Indian as well T&T...
As much as am happy for you finding true love I would want you to realise that you are black as well because judging from the way you talk it seems you are kind of confused of your racial identity.
U south are beautiful people , your daughter just show you color true eyes of child , I love what are you saying . BTW im white . Happy New Year and STOP seeing colors :) We all HUMANS .
My mums two sisters are married to Indian men ,their kids are mixed and looks black with just softer hair but that's about it .
Well U BLACK SOOOOOOOO
IM CONFUSED
El ' Choppo E that's what I'm saying
You are also black Indian woman
What i don’t understand is if you don’t like A certain race of people why come to their country or land?
Wow you are such a brave woman thumbs up to you. Its not about apartheid but a long established taboo that Indians marrying blacks is a no go area and its the world over even in America and Europe. Your husband is a lucky lucky man! Wow
Homer J Simpson
Why didn't you say that both of them are lucky or she's a lucky, lucky woman, instead of saying "your husband is a lucky, lucky man"?
Doonwati Singh It is generally unusual for Indian women to marry black men in Africa. Thats a germ mate so i consider this guy very luck to get a germ
Very inspirational and moving
Beautifully narrated
You can go to Suriname and people don't care. You are talking like you are the 1st Indian women married a black man . In Suriname you will see alot of them
Just to clarify, Azania is not Kiswahili for "God is hearing us". The Swahili for that is " Mungu anatuskiza".
Lovely story
Girl it's all about love it does not matter stay close to God and he will keep u guys together
Hooo Black Asian married to a Black African,not Bad at all
I'm a black man that supports your marriage....
Sweet life to you both. Such a beautiful, intelligent lady! May you be blessed with good health, long life, wealth and many happy, healthy children! Texas, U.S.A.
I respect all races but dating Indian man?? No thanks I'll pass. I like my Caucasian and black man 😄😉
Sabh Restman that's great 😑
Sabh Restman
I am part African and part Indian
but I have dark skin and full African features
The Indians that are in my family are light skinned and have long straight hair (obviously)..so.....i know there are many different types of indians...but I just want to figure out the type that my family is comprised of...can you help?
Sabh Restman
My great grand parents are full blooded Indians on both of my mother and father's side.
I also have full blooded Indian aunts and uncles and half blooded aunts and uncles
I am from the Caribbean...from the island of St.Vincent and the Grenadines
My mother told me that i have families in India but they would not know who we are....because my great grandfather (x times) and his family are all from India, that is why she told me that.
Plus I look more African than Indian because the African genes took over ..only difference is that i have very loose hair.
Sabh Restman
I dont understand..lol
I was born and raised in St.vincent
So how could I be those things you said I am?
People would view me as an African despite my Indian background.
Sabh Restman
So what are north Indians
are they Caucasians?
The child is smarter. .to not care ..adults should learn from them. .
So you are saying you are not black....poor you, am sure my country in the Caribbean has a lot of Indians and they can never call themselves anything but black. The problem is your old ancient culture and out dated practice....buy black woman
The worst thing is their daughter according to her says she's not African but a bit of this and bit of that. Notice she never said but I'm not Asian. Even at that age being African is discounted.
Which black person have you ever heard call themselves NEGRO?
Happy for you both but just got turned off when you talk about the color of your skin. You are just as black as your husband my dear. No offense to you but I don't know why Indian people think for moment that they're white including you. Again you are not a white woman and you're not making any sense to me. I am black and very proud to be.
You r part of that same race , little do u know.
This happens in my country also the Indians don't really accept their children with someone of African race. They don't mind any other race but not African.
Excuse me, very nice that you married to him, but you also a black lady, what is this" from my side and from his side" Come On!
Absolutely Beautiful.
