WEBVTT - What’s Trending | Does Race Matter in Relationships  

0:00:01.110 --> 0:00:04.370
<v Speaker 1>Did you see that post? People are talking.

0:00:04.890 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Here's what's trending on the Flicky Smiley Morning Show.

0:00:09.340 --> 0:00:14.300
<v Speaker 3>Who knew a group photo of four high-profile couples at

0:00:14.350 --> 0:00:17.849
<v Speaker 3>a charity event would start so much online controversy?

0:00:18.110 --> 0:00:21.689
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Ricky, a viral photo of NBA legends James Worthy,

0:00:21.730 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 4>Byron Scott, Michael Cooper and Robert Horry posing with their

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 4>wives at a recent charity event has sparked online debates.

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.780
<v Speaker 4>But instead of people talking about the event, people start

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:35.380
<v Speaker 4>talking about the couples in the pictures, specifically several black

0:00:35.420 --> 0:00:37.510
<v Speaker 4>men who were pictured with their white wives.

0:00:37.890 --> 0:00:38.750
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Brad.

0:00:38.770 --> 0:00:42.010
<v Speaker 5>People flooded the comments saying things like, quote, Lord, please

0:00:42.050 --> 0:00:46.129
<v Speaker 5>protect black women. While another said, black queens forever. Some

0:00:46.150 --> 0:00:49.580
<v Speaker 5>people call them sellouts. Somebody else questioned, if they had

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 5>no money or fame, would you be with them? Asking

0:00:52.700 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 5>for a friend. However, not everybody was quick to judge

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 5>the couples. Another user said, I know what this post

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.730
<v Speaker 5>is trying to say, but I see happiness. Otherwise, they

0:01:01.790 --> 0:01:02.570
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't be there.

0:01:03.190 --> 0:01:05.530
<v Speaker 3>So this morning we want to know your thoughts. Is

0:01:05.569 --> 0:01:08.150
<v Speaker 3>it a problem if black men date outside of their race?

0:01:08.690 --> 0:01:12.149
<v Speaker 3>And does your partner's race matter to you? What are

0:01:12.170 --> 0:01:13.330
<v Speaker 3>y'all's thoughts on this?

0:01:13.910 --> 0:01:16.869
<v Speaker 4>Well, I just think love is love. I think wherever

0:01:16.890 --> 0:01:18.569
<v Speaker 4>you find love, if that's what you find and it's

0:01:18.630 --> 0:01:21.030
<v Speaker 4>going good and going great, then so be it. Enjoy

0:01:21.069 --> 0:01:22.990
<v Speaker 4>your life. Put what everybody got to say.

0:01:23.290 --> 0:01:26.110
<v Speaker 1>I'm with Brad on this one. At this stage in life, man,

0:01:26.290 --> 0:01:28.270
<v Speaker 1>I have found that it's better to just find who

0:01:28.310 --> 0:01:30.810
<v Speaker 1>you love and who love you. And I've been with

0:01:30.850 --> 0:01:32.790
<v Speaker 1>my black wife for 30 years, but I ain't going

0:01:32.810 --> 0:01:35.740
<v Speaker 1>to lie. If it ended today, I might try.

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.940
<v Speaker 2>To help her.

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 6>See, that's intentional.

0:01:39.140 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>That's not what we're saying. I hope she pull up

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.709
<v Speaker 1>and punch you in your throat. That's not what I...

0:01:45.590 --> 0:01:48.610
<v Speaker 1>Come on, man. It's a lot.

0:01:49.110 --> 0:01:49.550
<v Speaker 6>It's a lot.

0:01:49.570 --> 0:01:51.490
<v Speaker 1>You're going to throw away all the seasoning out of

0:01:51.530 --> 0:01:54.750
<v Speaker 1>your kitchen. Just clean that whole cabinet up. Ain't got

0:01:54.780 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>no onion powder. Ain't got nothing but salt and pepper.

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.420
<v Speaker 1>No garlic powder. You ain't got no paprika. No smoked paprika.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>No bay leaves.

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 4>You ain't got nothing.

0:02:06.300 --> 0:02:09.940
<v Speaker 1>Stove top stuffing all up in there. Oh my God.

0:02:10.180 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 5>I will have y'all know I am married to a

0:02:13.180 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 5>white guy who puts plenty of spices in the food.

0:02:15.900 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 5>He likes spices.

0:02:16.820 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's good. But he's Polish.

0:02:18.419 --> 0:02:21.780
<v Speaker 5>Polish people like spices generally. But you know what I think, Ricky?

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 5>I think that i think you might have a problem

0:02:24.220 --> 0:02:26.459
<v Speaker 5>with yourself if you only date one race like if

0:02:26.500 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 5>you go out and you're like you know what i

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.540
<v Speaker 5>will only date white women and it's not your race

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.100
<v Speaker 5>that's kind of weird i think you know that's just

0:02:34.150 --> 0:02:36.990
<v Speaker 5>my opinion uh but obviously i'm married to a white

0:02:37.010 --> 0:02:38.730
<v Speaker 5>guy so i think love is love you know it's

0:02:38.770 --> 0:02:41.170
<v Speaker 5>whatever i wasn't trying to marry a white guy but

0:02:41.210 --> 0:02:41.930
<v Speaker 5>he was hot.

0:02:41.750 --> 0:02:45.150
<v Speaker 1>How did you how did you come up on you.

0:02:45.050 --> 0:02:48.450
<v Speaker 5>Know i'm gonna tell you something When Ciara said she prayed,

0:02:48.950 --> 0:02:51.070
<v Speaker 5>so did I. I was like, I want to be

0:02:51.110 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 5>attracted to him. I want him to be crazy about me.

0:02:54.060 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 5>I want to not question whether or not he loves

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 5>me more than anybody. But y'all know what I left

0:02:58.560 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 5>out of my prayer?

0:02:59.190 --> 0:03:01.650
<v Speaker 1>What was that? I ain't say he needed to be black.

0:03:01.669 --> 0:03:01.709
<v Speaker 6>No.

0:03:03.250 --> 0:03:04.989
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I want to be attracted to him.

0:03:05.270 --> 0:03:06.669
<v Speaker 5>I want him to love me. At the time, my

0:03:06.710 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 5>son was four. I was like, I want him to

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.220
<v Speaker 5>love TJ. And, you know, and I was like, and

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 5>show me a sense of discernment. It was really my prayer.

0:03:13.980 --> 0:03:15.470
<v Speaker 5>And God gave you what you asked for.

0:03:15.500 --> 0:03:17.810
<v Speaker 1>And God gave me what I got. And how he

0:03:17.830 --> 0:03:19.090

<v Speaker 5>I met the woman I'm going to marry. It's a

0:03:59.870 --> 0:04:01.230
<v Speaker 5>good thing he didn't tell me that because I would

0:04:01.250 --> 0:04:04.930

<v Speaker 2>At home.

0:05:12.170 --> 0:05:13.490
<v Speaker 1>You should have stayed at home.

<v Speaker 7>Yeah, man.

<v Speaker 1>Sitting up there, everybody chilling, and then y'all, she come

0:05:16.630 --> 0:05:18.620
<v Speaker 1>up there, we can't do nothing. Everybody, we got to

0:05:18.660 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>be nice and respectful. She talking about the Lord and stuff.

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:22.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:05:23.580 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, y'all get out.

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.419
<v Speaker 3>It's 8669-R-I-C-K-E-Y.

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.900
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the phones. Good morning. Adrian calling from

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Fort Mitchell, Alabama.

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.380
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't think we were.

0:05:35.260 --> 0:05:38.650
<v Speaker 1>Created to date outside of our race. Much less procreate

0:05:38.750 --> 0:05:42.730
<v Speaker 1>outside of our race. I think those guys are sellouts.

0:05:42.870 --> 0:05:45.450
<v Speaker 1>They sellouts. They just sellouts. Straight up sellouts.

0:05:45.910 --> 0:05:48.950
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this is Linda from Baton Rouge. I don't want

0:05:48.970 --> 0:05:51.630
<v Speaker 2>nothing outside of my race, and I told my sons

0:05:51.650 --> 0:05:54.150
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. I think the thing that bothers me

0:05:54.190 --> 0:05:57.550
<v Speaker 2>the most is I see a good-looking black man and,

0:05:57.630 --> 0:06:00.969
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, with a fat, nasty, sloppy-looking white woman, and

0:06:01.010 --> 0:06:04.690
<v Speaker 2>then here's a big, full-size, beautiful black queen, and you

0:06:04.730 --> 0:06:07.410
<v Speaker 2>won't choose them. So, yes, I have a problem with it.

0:06:08.010 --> 0:06:11.219
<v Speaker 7>I'm calling from Houston, and no, there's not a problem.

0:06:11.260 --> 0:06:12.780
<v Speaker 7>There's only a stipulation.

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:13.500
<v Speaker 4>If you're going to.

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 7>Marry someone outside of your race, you have to make

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 7>sure your children are exposed to that other race, especially

0:06:19.140 --> 0:06:21.580
<v Speaker 7>if it's a minority race and especially if it's black.

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 7>You can't just marry outside of your race as a

0:06:25.700 --> 0:06:31.550
<v Speaker 7>non-black person, especially, and not surround your children with their

0:06:31.580 --> 0:06:33.510
<v Speaker 7>black family or their minority family.

0:06:34.589 --> 0:06:37.370
<v Speaker 6>My name is Renee calling out of Louisville.

0:06:37.490 --> 0:06:38.169
<v Speaker 1>Love is love.

0:06:38.270 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 6>But however, when black men are marrying white women, they

0:06:42.220 --> 0:06:45.620
<v Speaker 6>become slave to white women. White women are the ones

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.910
<v Speaker 6>that are beginning to all the money that they have

0:06:48.970 --> 0:06:52.050
<v Speaker 6>going into their communities, their families, things like that. That's

0:06:52.290 --> 0:06:53.230
<v Speaker 6>my opinion on that.

0:06:54.250 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's some good stuff.
