In this episode we discuss our experiences as an interracial couple, from how our parents reacted to dealing with racism from strangers. #RushLifePodcast #podcast
I just proposed to the love of my life...a beautiful black lady. Caucasian man here. My first-ever marriage at age 52. We will stand proud regardless. This vid gives us an excellent heads up. Be blessed 🤵🏼♂️👰🏾💒
As a black woman, racism doesn’t bother me at all. It’s a “them” problem. It has not ever stopped me from achieving anything in life I want. My faith & my God are waaaaay bigger than someone else’s dumb misconception about others.
@@wisebo8226so because you’ve never experienced it (you’re delulu if you really believe that), doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. In fact it’s intellectually dishonest of you to even say it! The fact that so many Floridians still support tRump says it all. I’ve been to Palm Beach, Miami, Ft Lauderdale & West Palm as a Canadian and racism exists there!
@@donnapugbeen in south Florida all my life and I’ve never had a problem. And I’m in a interracial relationship. You’re the delusional one and I support Trump lol you’re dumb if you think only white people support trump 🤣🤡
@@wisebo8226i agree, been in South Florida my entire life and never experienced outright racism. Yes, people will look, but if you're an attractive couple or well put together people are gonna look at you... the looks may have nothing to do with race. I've experienced more instances of racism while married to my dark skinned black husband. If you go into central and north Florida the vibes can be different towards blacks. I am black and voted for Trump so mofos really need to stop the backhanded discrimination and racism. In regard to the video, black families more often that not will welcome any race into their home if you vouch for them and the person is respectful. I went to predominantly white schools growing up. I had white friends that I hung out with on a daily basis. I remember going to their upscale homes when their parents were out or out of town, but my bestie could freely visit my house anytime. One of my best friends dated a white guy in high school for like a year. He asked her to prom and when he told his father his father told him he won't be putting no n9gga in his car... they still dated but didn't go to prom together.
Together 31 years and married for 28 years, too busy getting on with our life to be bothered what people have to say or do. We are so beautiful together and blessed to have the blessing of God even in the challenges of life.
As a Blasian woman, I’ve seen it/felt it from all sides…especially being brown skinned. Most black people can tell I’m mixed but going to Korean stores w/my mom as a kid and now, we/she def gets “those looks”. Don’t let me get started on some other folks. Keep your heads up in raise your babies to be aware but happy and fulfilled. ❤
Smh it's a issue within human beings. As a dark skin black women literally every race of person notices me and sometimes stare at me in public. Especially when I'm by myself.
Asian stores are notorious for that. I don't even bother spending my hard earned money in their stores anymore. Why do they also open stores in areas were there are mixed and black people and also sell black and mixed people's productt. They just want your money and don't give a shit about people that don't look like them.
I'm Japanese-American, male, born in 1973 in Seattle. My ex-wife (wonderful lady) is Black/Cherokee/White. Our daughter was born in 2013. Maybe, we've been lucky, but neither of our families have ever given us a hard time. I actually get a little bit irked when people label my daughter as Asian, because she's also Black, Native American, and White, and her mother's background shouldn't be ignored. I mentioned all of this more in detail on another post on this video, but my daughter does get some teasing for being Blasian: "Mongol Negro," "Chinese Black girl," "Black girl with Down Syndrome, "Chocolate rice cake." But, she reasons, "Well, everybody gets teased about something. Lucas, a White classmate, has a big nose, and he gets teased about that."
Interracial relationships will always exist. That’s how it always was way back in the days. We’ve had kings and queens in interracial marriages all around the world.
This was a great podcast. I was married to my husband for 18 years before he passed. We had three beautiful sons together and he was a black man I was a white woman and we never experienced hate from the family, but when we traveled and was out and about you can see the hate and I live right here in Miami. I hate to say it, but there is a ton of hate right here in Miami. I will give you one Major incident that me and my husband experienced at Disney, which we never ever went back to again and my kids never wanted to go back to. I stepped away for a few moments to go to the restroom and grab the kids something to eat, and my husband was along with his kids and was approached by a cop saying that my kid looked afraid and that he Kidnapped my kids. Long story short we had to prove that theses were his kids. To long of a story to get into. My kids and me and my husband had to go to counseling for years to overcome this but to this day, even though my sons are grown now and there dad in no longer here, and they know not all cops are bad. They still look over their shoulder when they see a cop. I’ve been asked after losing my husband will I ever date another black man after everything we been through and the answer is yes I will. There is not enough hate in the world can stop me from what I’m attracted to. Thank you guys for sharing your stories.
Please don’t allow evil society throw salt on your relationship. You have my support and this is the first time I’ve ever laid eyes on your podcast. I never knew you existed. I am a black woman and you have my blessing. 🥰🥰🥰
This was great discussion. When Tray was talking about the road trip that him, keisha, and his friend took to that town outside of Toronto and they went into that restaurant and everybody winded up clearing out. That sounds like they stumbled upon "Sundown Town" because that is beyond creepy. They actually did a study on interracial dating that I was reading and discovered that 59% of mixed and biracial people actually felt that they more culturally accepted by their black family or the black community more often then their white families.
In Toronto I feel like there are way more blended and interracial relationships with so many blended cultures. Your upbringing definitely plays a pivotal role in racism. Kids are innocent, and are taught.
@@DrUmarJohnson1 personally I believe in the bible and race is not real or apart of the bible when it comes to division… everyone is ONE race, your skin tone does not change your race.
@eduardooliveira8230 First, Africa is a continent with many different ethnic groups. Second, race is a species. The only race is the human race, and the human race consists of many different ethnic groups. There is no such thing as "racial purity"
Randomly stumbled upon this and think you guys are adorable! I’m black and date all colors. One of my biggest pet peeves is insecurity in many blacks that think dating white is dating up, and they completely lose their identity and self pride, while also not having many standards other than that the person is just “white”. The second is flat out racism from whites who won’t admit they’re racist, but quickly deny any positive characteristics or compatibility because they reject skin color. You two remind me of my interracial relationships in that I am myself, and that person is who they are. I love the video, will check you guys out more, and hope y’all continue to speak on this topic, because we are still experiencing tons of problems and racism today with this, and folks dating folks for the right reasons needs to be “normalized”.
You guys are AMAZING! UNFORTUNATELY, MOST COMMUNITIES DON'T SUPPORT THEIR OWN. FOR ME, I FEEL THAT PEOPLE LACK KNOWLEDGE WHICH CREATES IGNORANCE! WE ARE ALL ONE HUMANITY EXISTING ❤ LOVE Y'ALL. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE ❤
I think this was an important episode. You two are blessed to have found each other. You have a beautiful family. I enjoy you guys as a family and the pod casts. Keep doing you.
HI, TRAY AND KEISHA. I LIKE THE PODCAST. I HAVE BEEN WITH YALL SINCE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR UA-cam JOURNEY, SO I HAVE SEEN YOU BOTH GROW UP INTO ADULTHOOD AND BEING PARENTS, SO I DO REMEMBER IN YALL'S EARLIER VIDEOS TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE RACIAL THINGS YALL EXPERIENCED. THE WORLD IS FULL OF PREJUDICE AND I DON'T THINK IT WILL EVER CHANGE BECAUSE OF WHAT YALL SAID IN THE BEGINNING, IT'S THE WAY CHILDREN ARE BROUGHT UP IN THEIR HOMES, NOT ALL, BUT DEFINITELY A MAJORITY. I'M SO HAPPY FOR ALL OF YALL'S ACHIEVEMENTS AND WHATEVER ELSE THAT YOU WILL PURSUE IN THE FUTURE. YALL'S CHILDREN ARE SO BLESS TO HAVE YOU BOTH AS PARENTS. I LIVE IN VIRGINIA, SO I HAVE DEFINITELY EXPERIENCE THAT NEGATIVE ENERGY, TOO, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. MAY GOD BLESSINGS ,COURAGE, WISDOM AND STRENGTH BE WITH YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS 🙂💖🙏🙏🙏
Best episode this far! When you guys were asking each other questions.. that was so interesting because we were able to see you guys have an actual real conversation vs. Talking to us… love seeing you guys talking to each other… when Keisha said do you think it’s because we were raised in Canada, my mouth dropped!! 😱 she is getting to something hereee. touchy subject. When you guys talked about the community backing I thought that was interesting. definitely sheds some light!! and shows that all communities need to step up and show more love to you guys!! I love how this episode was very long…. Would love to hear more about your move from Canada to Florida, would you ever live in Canada again after moving to Florida? would love to hear more about you guys first biggest pay day and how that felt?
I had to subscribe! You guys are professional about this podcast, the way in which you guys chronologically reason definitely make it easy to follow the conversation. Anyone could start listening to the podcast at any time stamp and would be able to pick up whatever they missed.
Omg I’m so excited you guys started a podcast!!!! Your family is THE ONLY!!! Family I can watch with my kids and actually like it lol my babies love you guys!!! ❤️❤️
My 10 year old son introduced me to u guys. Ur a beautiful couple, great episode. Im a black woman St.Lucian and Dominican ethnicity i live in London. My first boyfriend was white and we experienced a lot of verbal abuse it was about 17 years ago but it was quite bad. Anyway, i'll definitely be watching more vids
Tray & Keisha, I just love you guys. I will support you both in anyway I can. I love your family channel & now your podcast. Best of luck on this new journey.❤
My son is huge fan of the family and I love this side of you-adults and all the things that come with being parents, couple and definitely interracial. I agree with you both, ignorance is taught not born. ❤ the fam!
Y’all (in Keshia’s voice), this episode, yes. You two show a true example of love, regardless of your skin color. Prayers to y’all’s continued success no matter the “hate” thrown your way. Blessings…
I love watching you two. You've come such a long way and it's amazing to see how you've grown and evolved as individuals and as a family. Love getting to hear your perspectives from your podcasts. Also y'all are looking fabulous. Tray's looking like his handsome old self. (I know that sounds shady, but I mean it in the best possible way). Y'all are both naturally good-looking. ❤Sending you love from Toronto.
Well done, great conversation, the podcast has been a long time coming! Really really smart couple, been following silently for years, always like your videos though 😂 I can’t wait to see what else you guys diversify with. Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
You guys were the 2nd UA-cam couple I watched. Initially, it was the 2 little ones, Cam n Cali, that made it fun to watch. Shortly after, you as a couple and your wonderful attributes took over. Your channel quickly became the only one to watch, IMO. So many I don't watch nearly as often as Rush Fam anymore. I love you guy's content, always interesting, fun, honest, and many times relatable. You both are so smart. I also think something wonderful is happening with all the interracial couples. I think it's God's plan to unite us more as people. We'll all look more alike, promoting less bias bringing more inclusion.
Hey guys, this video resonated with us so we definitely had to drop a comment and Wow! Keshia hit the nail right on the head! Because we are in interracial relationships, we don’t get the 100% support that we would if we were dating our same race. It’s so unfortunate because it’s certainly a challenge that we face as interracial couples. Thanks for keeping it real and speaking your thoughts. We’ve been supporting y’all since day 1 ❤
Just got a chance to watch this. As a strong black woman I can not understand why the outside matters. The heart is what counts. Anyone that judge based on colour, race etc is ignorant. Get to know the heart before deciding whether or not to like or dislike someone. You guys are beautiful together so focus on the support and leave the haters to be miserable. Love you guys❤
Great talk. I still will never understand the problem people have about two people ,who fall in love and are attracted to each being together. It's all about fear of something being different and also ignorance. The most important issue is, that inside we are all alike, no exception. Racism is a learned behaviour. So what is learned can be unlearned. But for many it's so ingrained, that they cannot go beyond it. An example I always use is: you meet someone on the phone and you hit it of, you have a lot in common, you enjoy the same things, you have the same principles.,etc.You talk for hours and look forward to the next phone call.You've never seen each other. This goes on for months. One day you decide to meet and realize you are from different races. If your energy was so connected all those months, why should it make a difference, that one is Chinese, Norwegian, African or Philippine? I applaud your generation, you don't let any of these things stand in your way .This is evolution and no one can stop that. Keep up the good work.Many of those racist will never accomplish what you have and will keep accomplishing.Keep looking upward and forward.Blessings.
Absolutely, a wonderful new dynamic with the interracial community! A powerful universal, SHIFT!🌺 It's only getting BETTER! New opportunities for community love and business SUCCESS!🌹🙏
This episode was amazing, so important and enlightening! I am a Black American woman who has had negative feelings toward interracial couples. However I came to believe that love is love. I have adored your family AND you as a couple since day one. It’s really helpful to hear your experiences with racism from both sides because that’s not often shared. I think interracial couples keep their head down and don’t share much of what they go through. Keisha saying that you all don’t get that push that you would if you were a single race couple was insightful. Much continued success. What’s for you is yours! And Keisha, that outfit is 🔥on you.
I came across your channel by chance and listened to this really interesting Podcast. You are blessed that as a couple that during those awkward situation you have both recognised it for what it is, e.g.the death stare. In some interracial relationships, where the white partner is male it is like they do not either recognise the signs of racism or do not want to address it in the moment, therefore leaving the black partner feeling unsupported. Starting a Podcast with a friend soon. Going to send this video to her to listen to.
Love this video. It was totally very informative and on so many levels Educational. Stay strong because what you guys have is definitely beautiful ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Enjoying your podcast been a subscriber from beginning. Just one comment it’s important that we remember Love is a choice (not just an emotion) all the other stuff is pluses. Keep talking 🗣️🎙️. Peace ✌🏽
That’s Y is important for biracial to own their identity which create communities instead of trying to be accepted by yt or blk community. Nice podcast u guys have come a long way.
Happy mother's day and love you Keshia,I would let you rest till you get better I'm glad you are back, hope y'all are having a wonderful sunday and stay safe out there ❤️🤗❤️🤗
I’ve been a fan since “How we met” video years ago! I LOVE you guys and I learned so much from you two and your growth. You both compliment each other perfect. I send you two love and encouragement y’all are on the right path. Congratulations on everything.. Keisha you are one of my idols you are so different. Alien superstar. I love me some Rush Family!❤❤
I think this world need to stop all this hatred in there heart I look at you guys family to me. I don't see color. We all bleed the same. Why can we as a diversity world come together and be unity be one. I love you tray and Keyshia. You guys keep being your best self. If people don't like yall take a lick and keep on ticking bro. Ya'll family is legit the best. I love interracial couples. I love or would like to have the pleasure to date outside my race. I get to the point I don't care what people think at all. Lets goooooooo Fam.
I’m in an interracial relationship too. Pretty quickly it just feels like a normal relationship. The only time we think about it is when others comment or look at us weird.
Awesome discussion, thanks for sharing y’all! God definitely created us to love one another no matter what our race is, and more importantly to worship HIM!
I a thousand percent agree with Keisha. I was in a interracial relationship with kids father for 7 sevens and we tried to start our own business and was knocked down by racist people the black and white community because we were together. We also met at 18 . Then we divorced and I’m with my now husband who is black, and boyyyyyy!!! Lol when I tell u the support we have now? It’s mind blowing lol but that’s how it is and that’s sad
Love the episode and Tray is right the interracial community is growing not sure if you've seen more and more ads with blk women white men and other non blk men so the future generations will look different from what we're use to now. I also wanted to point out you all being from Canada the US. Has a long painful history with chattel slavery and has had an effect on particular blk women dating out because of the things our women ancestors went threw. It's also discouraged particularly for blk women in the blk community in America because the blk woman is the back bone of the family. Although in the last 10 years a growing number of blk women in America are now open to dating out and the stats success rates are the highest with white men blk women couple's. In the last 10 years things are changing your family is a great example of this some blk women are scared and worry to much what people think particularly in the blk community that is now fast fading thank God.
Thank you for addressing racism and doing it honestly. I am a white mom of 9 kids...1 Native American, 1 Mexican, and 7 black kids. Tray, you and I know how differently we're treated when we're alone. I've also dated interracially. I've been so tired of UA-cam interracial couples say they never have problems when they've been asked. I just quit watching and supporting those channels. I have so many stories, from my LEO son being stopped and needing to assume the pose as his off duty gun was strapped to his ankle, to a cross burned in my yard, to the KKK leaving business cards on windshields of the NAACP convention cars and my attempted murder that night. (I'm writing a book. The Next 20 Years) I don't ever watch podcasts. I'd rather watch the conversations in 'real time' everyday life. BUT...I saw the title of your podcast and listened to it all. I really enjoyed it. I wish other interracial families would do the same and be honest. It's rough out here. THANK YOU AGAIN! :)
I just found you guys and think you are am awesome couple! I’m older and have 2 interracial marriages. I’ve dealt with some pretty crazy things also. I don’t know if I will ever get married again at this point but you never know I wish you guys the best I think it’s beautiful. Oh, and I do think it how you were raised..
You guys are great, I am so happy for both of you and your family. Great podcast. Both of you are great and a loving couple. Congratulation, keep the positive, keep the faith and most of all be safe. God bless you both.
My husband is white, and I'm black. He's from Connecticut, and I'm from NY. We both now live in Florida, where he retired from the military. From experience, I know racism exists throughout the USA, especially in the South. Research and reading about the South helped me understand how ignorance can be perpetuated from one generation to another generation by both black and whites. I wish that people would wake up and realize that love is color-blind. We have decided we were more comfortable living in New Egland and decided to move back to New England. Florida is very scenic, but other than that, it's not for us. God bless you and keep up the good work.❤❤❤❤❤
Hey guys , you exactly got me today in your subscribers especially because im in an interacial couple (african man and Québec women) , im in the third month of my relashionship so I didnt have face all the things you are talking about. Thanks in quebec people tolerate more. You have an community.
Wow this podcast was great. Thanks so much for sharing. This is crazy , the difference between the US and Canada is that Canada is very quiet with being racist for lack of a better word. God bless you both.
Yess this right here sis . They portray this image as being so nice but the passive aggressive and micro aggression behaviour towards blacks is real real . I live it every day.
loved the episode! Would love to learn more about moving from Toronto to Florida, the vibes, the process etc. Me and my bf are thinking of making the move
I'm a newbie know your channel and I like you two together. Keep on keeping on. You are cool. Haters will always be there. Don't let that get you down.❤❤❤
I am a black Jamaican married to a white man. He has 3 children from a previous marriage. His ex-wife told her kids to call me nigga, monkey etc, and told them I was living off the government. I went to the table with my own house, own car businesses also I am a realtor,the thing is they didn’t know anything about me is daughter get in an argument with her dad and told him he was just a nigga lover. If it wasn’t for God!!!and coming from a strong foundation. I would have left. One day, I overheard a conversation between my husband and his mom. Her granddaughter called her and asked, how do you feel about your son dating a black woman???? Her response was," whatever makes my son happy, even though I am against black people dating white people, mind you, I was extremely nice to this lady. I loved everything about my mother-in-law. When I overheard that conversation, everything in me shattered. I have become bitter because we were newlyweds also. This situation has me praying more. I was so hurt. I talked to my pastor about the situation. My pastor went clean off on my husband and told him to stand up for your wife. Do not let your family come in and treat her like that. I was bitter and angry, it took me a while because god proved them wrong. I didn’t want anything from my husband because I came with a lot at the table. The only people that were accepting of me was is Dad and brother. I don’t talk to my mother-in-law anymore, I don’t even acknowledge her.
It’s hard to read your comments when it has zero punctuation. I’m Jamaican too and was interested in reading your story but had to stop because it was hard to read.
Also, coming from a good foundation has nothing to do with tolerating overt anti-black racism. You don't have to abandon yourself and your humanity to be with a person who isn't safe and doesn't practice anti-racism. It’s only going to affect your mental health, and it probably already has. If he’s previous wife and kids are racist, then trust me, so is he.
This was a great topic to address guys. I have been I'm an interracial relationship for over 15 years and find I didn't really notice anything untoward. I think that maybe because I'm black but quite lightskinned so I think alot of people couldn't quite work me out. When abroad they would ask are you Brazilian or something to that effect, I would say no Jamaican, they said really but it was good vibes though. They would start dancing saying aah Bob Marley, hope that was legit and not some other meaning.
Being from the East end I cannot even imagine either of those interactions with police but honestly at the same time I shouldn’t be shocked. Also lowkey sad you guys aren’t telling me where the diner was!!!! I need to know, being from here it’s so rare we get to hear stories about places we actually know 😭
I have a podcast idea for y’all. Speak about dealing with conflict resolution in marriage and otherwise, I think it would be v.insightful . Love from CT❤ been riding since Today With Tray 😂
I just proposed to the love of my life...a beautiful black lady. Caucasian man here. My first-ever marriage at age 52. We will stand proud regardless. This vid gives us an excellent heads up. Be blessed 🤵🏼♂️👰🏾💒

“It’s not where we were raised, it’s how we were raised” so so true, absolutely! 👏🏾
I don’t understand how you date the people that took your culture and language and history. Your history is slave and boats.
Yes you're very right I'm white my wife is black we've been together 22 years and it is the way you were raised
As a black woman, racism doesn’t bother me at all. It’s a “them” problem. It has not ever stopped me from achieving anything in life I want. My faith & my God are waaaaay bigger than someone else’s dumb misconception about others.

Facts!
Oh no. Please don’t eat where you are not wanted. Doesn’t matter what town you are in.
real talk!

I find that black couples are slower to rise on UA-cam.
Exactly. Never even understood the sit ins during the civil rights movement🤦♂️
@@trudytriad4574 right! I prefer they be upfront about not wanting me to eating there. Please let me know you’re going to tamper with my food.

What Keisha said at the end was so real and honest, that should definitely be a whole new topic for a podcast episode
In Toronto I feel like there are way more blended and interracial relationships with so many blended cultures. Your upbringing definitely plays a pivotal role in racism. Kids are innocent, and are taught.
Truth
Africans MUST practice racial purity!
@@DrUmarJohnson1 personally I believe in the bible and race is not real or apart of the bible when it comes to division… everyone is ONE race, your skin tone does not change your race.
@eduardooliveira8230 First, Africa is a continent with many different ethnic groups. Second, race is a species. The only race is the human race, and the human race consists of many different ethnic groups. There is no such thing as "racial purity"
@@FredaAninkorah amen to that 🙏
Tray and keash you guys did great. Tray you need to be an inspirational speaker. You break things down very well.
To educate the white community about the weight of carrying hate n evil in their hearts
Randomly stumbled upon this and think you guys are adorable! I’m black and date all colors. One of my biggest pet peeves is insecurity in many blacks that think dating white is dating up, and they completely lose their identity and self pride, while also not having many standards other than that the person is just “white”. The second is flat out racism from whites who won’t admit they’re racist, but quickly deny any positive characteristics or compatibility because they reject skin color. You two remind me of my interracial relationships in that I am myself, and that person is who they are.
I love the video, will check you guys out more, and hope y’all continue to speak on this topic, because we are still experiencing tons of problems and racism today with this, and folks dating folks for the right reasons needs to be “normalized”.
Most of those who do that typically date down when dating white, Christian Obumseli learned the hard way
You guys are AMAZING! UNFORTUNATELY, MOST COMMUNITIES DON'T SUPPORT THEIR OWN. FOR ME, I FEEL THAT PEOPLE LACK KNOWLEDGE WHICH CREATES IGNORANCE! WE ARE ALL ONE HUMANITY EXISTING ❤ LOVE Y'ALL. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE ❤
😢🎉😮😊
I think this was an important episode. You two are blessed to have found each other. You have a beautiful family.
I enjoy you guys as a family and the pod casts. Keep doing you.
HI, TRAY AND KEISHA. I LIKE THE PODCAST. I HAVE BEEN WITH YALL SINCE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR UA-cam JOURNEY, SO I HAVE SEEN YOU BOTH GROW UP INTO ADULTHOOD AND BEING PARENTS, SO I DO REMEMBER IN YALL'S EARLIER VIDEOS TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE RACIAL THINGS YALL EXPERIENCED. THE WORLD IS FULL OF PREJUDICE AND I DON'T THINK IT WILL EVER CHANGE BECAUSE OF WHAT YALL SAID IN THE BEGINNING, IT'S THE WAY CHILDREN ARE BROUGHT UP IN THEIR HOMES, NOT ALL, BUT DEFINITELY A MAJORITY. I'M SO HAPPY FOR ALL OF YALL'S ACHIEVEMENTS AND WHATEVER ELSE THAT YOU WILL PURSUE IN THE FUTURE. YALL'S CHILDREN ARE SO BLESS TO HAVE YOU BOTH AS PARENTS. I LIVE IN VIRGINIA, SO I HAVE DEFINITELY EXPERIENCE THAT NEGATIVE ENERGY, TOO, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. MAY GOD BLESSINGS ,COURAGE, WISDOM AND STRENGTH BE WITH YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS 🙂💖🙏🙏🙏
Best episode this far! When you guys were asking each other questions.. that was so interesting because we were able to see you guys have an actual real conversation vs. Talking to us… love seeing you guys talking to each other… when Keisha said do you think it’s because we were raised in Canada, my mouth dropped!! 😱 she is getting to something hereee. touchy subject. When you guys talked about the community backing I thought that was interesting. definitely sheds some light!! and shows that all communities need to step up and show more love to you guys!! I love how this episode was very long…. Would love to hear more about your move from Canada to Florida, would you ever live in Canada again after moving to Florida? would love to hear more about you guys first biggest pay day and how that felt?
I had to subscribe! You guys are professional about this podcast, the way in which you guys chronologically reason definitely make it easy to follow the conversation. Anyone could start listening to the podcast at any time stamp and would be able to pick up whatever they missed.
Thank you guys for this video… this was so needed! ❤❤❤❤
Omg I’m so excited you guys started a podcast!!!! Your family is THE ONLY!!! Family I can watch with my kids and actually like it lol my babies love you guys!!! ❤️❤️
It’s ironic that you’re discussing this topic but you moved to Florida. A state at the pinnacle of racism.
The weather and no state taxes is undefeated.
I found you guys cause my kids absolutely love you guys! Definitely enjoyed this episode it’s cool seeing this side of you guys!
My 10 year old son introduced me to u guys. Ur a beautiful couple, great episode. Im a black woman St.Lucian and Dominican ethnicity i live in London. My first boyfriend was white and we experienced a lot of verbal abuse it was about 17 years ago but it was quite bad. Anyway, i'll definitely be watching more vids
Can’t wait to watch this! Love the podcasts. Another great topic!
Tray & Keisha, I just love you guys. I will support you both in anyway I can. I love your family channel & now your podcast. Best of luck on this new journey.❤
My dad is mixed and mom is black thank God for interracial relationships 💗
My son is huge fan of the family and I love this side of you-adults and all the things that come with being parents, couple and definitely interracial. I agree with you both, ignorance is taught not born. ❤ the fam!
Y’all (in Keshia’s voice), this episode, yes. You two show a true example of love, regardless of your skin color. Prayers to y’all’s continued success no matter the “hate” thrown your way. Blessings…
I don’t understand how you date the people that took your culture and language and history. Your history is slave and boats.
Just discovered your podcast and family randomly today ! Man this was so good! I’m looking forward to more episodes
I love watching you two. You've come such a long way and it's amazing to see how you've grown and evolved as individuals and as a family. Love getting to hear your perspectives from your podcasts. Also y'all are looking fabulous. Tray's looking like his handsome old self. (I know that sounds shady, but I mean it in the best possible way). Y'all are both naturally good-looking. ❤Sending you love from Toronto.
Well done, great conversation, the podcast has been a long time coming! Really really smart couple, been following silently for years, always like your videos though 😂 I can’t wait to see what else you guys diversify with. Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
You guys were the 2nd UA-cam couple I watched. Initially, it was the 2 little ones, Cam n Cali, that made it fun to watch. Shortly after, you as a couple and your wonderful attributes took over. Your channel quickly became the only one to watch, IMO. So many I don't watch nearly as often as Rush Fam anymore. I love you guy's content, always interesting, fun, honest, and many times relatable. You both are so smart. I also think something wonderful is happening with all the interracial couples. I think it's God's plan to unite us more as people. We'll all look more alike, promoting less bias bringing more inclusion.
Hey guys, this video resonated with us so we definitely had to drop a comment and Wow! Keshia hit the nail right on the head! Because we are in interracial relationships, we don’t get the 100% support that we would if we were dating our same race. It’s so unfortunate because it’s certainly a challenge that we face as interracial couples. Thanks for keeping it real and speaking your thoughts. We’ve been supporting y’all since day 1 ❤
Just got a chance to watch this. As a strong black woman I can not understand why the outside matters. The heart is what counts. Anyone that judge based on colour, race etc is ignorant. Get to know the heart before deciding whether or not to like or dislike someone. You guys are beautiful together so focus on the support and leave the haters to be miserable. Love you guys❤
Great talk. I still will never understand the problem people have about two people ,who fall in love and are attracted to each being together. It's all about fear of something being different and also ignorance. The most important issue is, that inside we are all alike, no exception. Racism is a learned behaviour. So what is learned can be unlearned. But for many it's so ingrained, that they cannot go beyond it. An example I always use is: you meet someone on the phone and you hit it of, you have a lot in common, you enjoy the same things, you have the same principles.,etc.You talk for hours and look forward to the next phone call.You've never seen each other. This goes on for months. One day you decide to meet and realize you are from different races. If your energy was so connected all those months, why should it make a difference, that one is Chinese, Norwegian, African or Philippine? I applaud your generation, you don't let any of these things stand in your way .This is evolution and no one can stop that. Keep up the good work.Many of those racist will never accomplish what you have and will keep accomplishing.Keep looking upward and forward.Blessings.
Absolutely, a wonderful new dynamic with the interracial community! A powerful universal, SHIFT!🌺 It's only getting BETTER!
New opportunities for community love and business SUCCESS!🌹🙏
Amen 🙏
Was waiting for a new episode. I really love the podcast, y’all are amazing❤️
Wow… I was almost in tears. I’m glad you guys are strong mentally and that your love is strong
Refreshing listening to you guys stories as a couple after watching you for years ❤️
I don’t understand how you date the people that took your culture and language and history. Your history is slave and boats.
So glad to see you both still together. Haven’t seen your channel in yeaaarrrss. ❤
Loved this! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏾
You guys are an Ace couple we thank God for you both. Colour is just Colour you are both great communicators love this Podcast. Love is love.
Great Podcast. Love positive vibes. Remember love has no color. ❤
This episode was amazing, so important and enlightening! I am a Black American woman who has had negative feelings toward interracial couples. However I came to believe that love is love. I have adored your family AND you as a couple since day one. It’s really helpful to hear your experiences with racism from both sides because that’s not often shared. I think interracial couples keep their head down and don’t share much of what they go through. Keisha saying that you all don’t get that push that you would if you were a single race couple was insightful. Much continued success. What’s for you is yours! And Keisha, that outfit is 🔥on you.
I came across your channel by chance and listened to this really interesting Podcast. You are blessed that as a couple that during those awkward situation you have both recognised it for what it is, e.g.the death stare. In some interracial relationships, where the white partner is male it is like they do not either recognise the signs of racism or do not want to address it in the moment, therefore leaving the black partner feeling unsupported. Starting a Podcast with a friend soon. Going to send this video to her to listen to.
Love this video. It was totally very informative and on so many levels Educational. Stay strong because what you guys have is definitely beautiful ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm behind you all. LOVE your content. Appreciate you and your beautiful family ..All the way here in ARIZONA
I’ve been watching y’all since the channel was TodaywithTray, love listening to these podcasts 🔥
I love the transparency of this topic yall should do one on assumptions yall go through as a interracial couple
Enjoying your podcast been a subscriber from beginning. Just one comment it’s important that we remember Love is a choice (not just an emotion) all the other stuff is pluses. Keep talking 🗣️🎙️. Peace ✌🏽
That’s Y is important for biracial to own their identity which create communities instead of trying to be accepted by yt or blk community. Nice podcast u guys have come a long way.
Happy mother's day and love you Keshia,I would let you rest till you get better I'm glad you are back, hope y'all are having a wonderful sunday and stay safe out there ❤️🤗❤️🤗
I’ve been a fan since “How we met” video years ago! I LOVE you guys and I learned so much from you two and your growth. You both compliment each other perfect. I send you two love and encouragement y’all are on the right path. Congratulations on everything.. Keisha you are one of my idols you are so different. Alien superstar. I love me some Rush Family!❤❤
LOVE U GUYS❤❤❤❤. I have been following u from your 1st video. I just hang in the clouds. God Bless you entire family ❤❤
This was GREAT 🙂 I just LOVE YOU 2 I've been an ATL TSQAUD FAN since day 1 AYEEEEEEEEEEEEE- MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS ❤❤
This is lovely. I appreciate you guys.
I think this world need to stop all this hatred in there heart I look at you guys family to me. I don't see color. We all bleed the same. Why can we as a diversity world come together and be unity be one. I love you tray and Keyshia. You guys keep being your best self. If people don't like yall take a lick and keep on ticking bro. Ya'll family is legit the best. I love interracial couples. I love or would like to have the pleasure to date outside my race. I get to the point I don't care what people think at all. Lets goooooooo Fam.
White supremacy doesn’t care what u say my guy
I'm so happy to see you guys again welcome back to the channel 😊
Watching from Detroit...i enjoyed this especially being biracial..great topic..love always win❤
I’m in an interracial relationship too. Pretty quickly it just feels like a normal relationship. The only time we think about it is when others comment or look at us weird.
Awesome discussion, thanks for sharing y’all!
God definitely created us to love one another no matter what our race is, and more importantly to worship HIM!
I really loved the ending part, it is and also will continue to get bigger and bigger.
I a thousand percent agree with Keisha. I was in a interracial relationship with kids father for 7 sevens and we tried to start our own business and was knocked down by racist people the black and white community because we were together. We also met at 18 . Then we divorced and I’m with my now husband who is black, and boyyyyyy!!! Lol when I tell u the support we have now? It’s mind blowing lol but that’s how it is and that’s sad
I don’t understand how you date the people that took your culture and language and history. Your history is slave and boats.
Love the episode and Tray is right the interracial community is growing not sure if you've seen more and more ads with blk women white men and other non blk men so the future generations will look different from what we're use to now.
I also wanted to point out you all being from Canada the US. Has a long painful history with chattel slavery and has had an effect on particular blk women dating out because of the things our women ancestors went threw.
It's also discouraged particularly for blk women in the blk community in America because the blk woman is the back bone of the family.
Although in the last 10 years a growing number of blk women in America are now open to dating out and the stats success rates are the highest with white men blk women couple's.
In the last 10 years things are changing your family is a great example of this some blk women are scared and worry to much what people think particularly in the blk community that is now fast fading thank God.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview. You are a beautiful couple. Blessings
Absolutely love your relationship, so honest
Thank you for addressing racism and doing it honestly. I am a white mom of 9 kids...1 Native American, 1 Mexican, and 7 black kids. Tray, you and I know how differently we're treated when we're alone. I've also dated interracially. I've been so tired of UA-cam interracial couples say they never have problems when they've been asked. I just quit watching and supporting those channels.
I have so many stories, from my LEO son being stopped and needing to assume the pose as his off duty gun was strapped to his ankle, to a cross burned in my yard, to the KKK leaving business cards on windshields of the NAACP convention cars and my attempted murder that night. (I'm writing a book. The Next 20 Years)
I don't ever watch podcasts. I'd rather watch the conversations in 'real time' everyday life. BUT...I saw the title of your podcast and listened to it all. I really enjoyed it. I wish other interracial families would do the same and be honest. It's rough out here.
THANK YOU AGAIN! :)
Love it! Love is Love! 🥰🥰🙏🏾
I just found you guys and think you are am awesome couple! I’m older and have 2 interracial marriages. I’ve dealt with some pretty crazy things also. I don’t know if I will ever get married again at this point but you never know I wish you guys the best I think it’s beautiful. Oh, and I do think it how you were raised..
Great discussion. Love your podcast ❤
You guys are great, I am so happy for both of you and your family. Great podcast. Both of you are great and a loving couple. Congratulation, keep the positive, keep the faith and most of all be safe. God bless you both.
I support you guys. Keep doing you!! Blessings😊
My husband is white, and I'm black. He's from Connecticut, and I'm from NY. We both now live in Florida, where he retired from the military. From experience, I know racism exists throughout the USA, especially in the South. Research and reading about the South helped me understand how ignorance can be perpetuated from one generation to another generation by both black and whites. I wish that people would wake up and realize that love is color-blind. We have decided we were more comfortable living in New Egland and decided to move back to New England. Florida is very scenic, but other than that, it's not for us. God bless you and keep up the good work.❤❤❤❤❤
The husband has a lot of GOOD sense.
s/o to both of you its takes courage and true love. I love it.
We ❤ you guys interracial or not it is what it is. Love who loves you back. And genuinely.
Yes indeed. My Fiance and I get it. Babe, we keep living and loving.
It’s nice to know y’all are still together I used to watch y’all when I was 16 I’m 24 now
Hey guys , you exactly got me today in your subscribers especially because im in an interacial couple (african man and Québec women) , im in the third month of my relashionship so I didnt have face all the things you are talking about. Thanks in quebec people tolerate more. You have an community.
Wow this podcast was great. Thanks so much for sharing. This is crazy , the difference between the US and Canada is that Canada is very quiet with being racist for lack of a better word. God bless you both.
Yess this right here sis . They portray this image as being so nice but the passive aggressive and micro aggression behaviour towards blacks is real real . I live it every day.
Same as the brits.
God bless you both ! Ive never had any problems with interracial relationships. Love who you want to love.
loved the episode! Would love to learn more about moving from Toronto to Florida, the vibes, the process etc. Me and my bf are thinking of making the move
yes I 2nd this
I'm a newbie know your channel and I like you two together. Keep on keeping on. You are cool. Haters will always be there. Don't let that get you down.❤❤❤
I am a black Jamaican married to a white man. He has 3 children from a previous marriage. His ex-wife told her kids to call me nigga, monkey etc, and told them I was living off the government. I went to the table with my own house, own car businesses also I am a realtor,the thing is they didn’t know anything about me is daughter get in an argument with her dad and told him he was just a nigga lover. If it wasn’t for God!!!and coming from a strong foundation. I would have left. One day, I overheard a conversation between my husband and his mom. Her granddaughter called her and asked, how do you feel about your son dating a black woman???? Her response was," whatever makes my son happy, even though I am against black people dating white people, mind you, I was extremely nice to this lady. I loved everything about my mother-in-law. When I overheard that conversation, everything in me shattered. I have become bitter because we were newlyweds also. This situation has me praying more. I was so hurt. I talked to my pastor about the situation. My pastor went clean off on my husband and told him to stand up for your wife. Do not let your family come in and treat her like that. I was bitter and angry, it took me a while because god proved them wrong. I didn’t want anything from my husband because I came with a lot at the table. The only people that were accepting of me was is Dad and brother. I don’t talk to my mother-in-law anymore, I don’t even acknowledge her.
It’s hard to read your comments when it has zero punctuation. I’m Jamaican too and was interested in reading your story but had to stop because it was hard to read.
Wow, sorry sis that's horrible! Really hope you're in a better situation now.
@@876me7 🍆 head
Leave him! Why are you tolerating this?
Also, coming from a good foundation has nothing to do with tolerating overt anti-black racism. You don't have to abandon yourself and your humanity to be with a person who isn't safe and doesn't practice anti-racism. It’s only going to affect your mental health, and it probably already has. If he’s previous wife and kids are racist, then trust me, so is he.
Great podcast today!👍🏾
Thank you for everything❤
This was a great topic to address guys. I have been I'm an interracial relationship for over 15 years and find I didn't really notice anything untoward. I think that maybe because I'm black but quite lightskinned so I think alot of people couldn't quite work me out. When abroad they would ask are you Brazilian or something to that effect, I would say no Jamaican, they said really but it was good vibes though. They would start dancing saying aah Bob Marley, hope that was legit and not some other meaning.
Being from the East end I cannot even imagine either of those interactions with police but honestly at the same time I shouldn’t be shocked. Also lowkey sad you guys aren’t telling me where the diner was!!!! I need to know, being from here it’s so rare we get to hear stories about places we actually know 😭
I have a podcast idea for y’all. Speak about dealing with conflict resolution in marriage and otherwise, I think it would be v.insightful . Love from CT❤ been riding since Today With Tray 😂
As an interracial couple, we hope the world will change for the best❤
I don’t understand how you date the people that took your culture and language and history. Your history is slave and boats.
We are one race the human race🎉
Yes we are, so the question should be how many white or black people did u date 😍
Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience
Great episode!
appreciate this video!
I LOVE AND SUPPORT Y'ALL
I love you guys...celebrate love❤🎉
