Speaker 1: Did you see that post? People are talking.
Speaker 2: Here's what's trending on the Flicky Smiley Morning Show.
Speaker 3: Who knew a group photo of four high-profile couples at
Speaker 3: a charity event would start so much online controversy?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ricky, a viral photo of NBA legends James Worthy,
Speaker 4: Byron Scott, Michael Cooper and Robert Horry posing with their
Speaker 4: wives at a recent charity event has sparked online debates.
Speaker 4: But instead of people talking about the event, people start
Speaker 4: talking about the couples in the pictures, specifically several black
Speaker 4: men who were pictured with their white wives.
Speaker 1: Yes, Brad.
Speaker 5: People flooded the comments saying things like, quote, Lord, please
Speaker 5: protect black women. While another said, black queens forever. Some
Speaker 5: people call them sellouts. Somebody else questioned, if they had
Speaker 5: no money or fame, would you be with them? Asking
Speaker 5: for a friend. However, not everybody was quick to judge
Speaker 5: the couples. Another user said, I know what this post
Speaker 5: is trying to say, but I see happiness. Otherwise, they
Speaker 5: wouldn't be there.
Speaker 3: So this morning we want to know your thoughts. Is
Speaker 3: it a problem if black men date outside of their race?
Speaker 3: And does your partner's race matter to you? What are
Speaker 3: y'all's thoughts on this?
Speaker 4: Well, I just think love is love. I think wherever
Speaker 4: you find love, if that's what you find and it's
Speaker 4: going good and going great, then so be it. Enjoy
Speaker 4: your life. Put what everybody got to say.
Speaker 1: I'm with Brad on this one. At this stage in life, man,
Speaker 1: I have found that it's better to just find who
Speaker 1: you love and who love you. And I've been with
Speaker 1: my black wife for 30 years, but I ain't going
Speaker 1: to lie. If it ended today, I might try.
Speaker 2: To help her.
Speaker 6: See, that's intentional.
Speaker 1: That's not what we're saying. I hope she pull up
Speaker 1: and punch you in your throat. That's not what I...
Speaker 1: Come on, man. It's a lot.
Speaker 6: It's a lot.
Speaker 1: You're going to throw away all the seasoning out of
Speaker 1: your kitchen. Just clean that whole cabinet up. Ain't got
Speaker 1: no onion powder. Ain't got nothing but salt and pepper.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No garlic powder. You ain't got no paprika. No smoked paprika.
Speaker 1: No bay leaves.
Speaker 4: You ain't got nothing.
Speaker 1: Stove top stuffing all up in there. Oh my God.
Speaker 5: I will have y'all know I am married to a
Speaker 5: white guy who puts plenty of spices in the food.
Speaker 5: He likes spices.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good. But he's Polish.
Speaker 5: Polish people like spices generally. But you know what I think, Ricky?
Speaker 5: I think that i think you might have a problem
Speaker 5: with yourself if you only date one race like if
Speaker 5: you go out and you're like you know what i
Speaker 5: will only date white women and it's not your race
Speaker 5: that's kind of weird i think you know that's just
Speaker 5: my opinion uh but obviously i'm married to a white
Speaker 5: guy so i think love is love you know it's
Speaker 5: whatever i wasn't trying to marry a white guy but
Speaker 5: he was hot.
Speaker 1: How did you how did you come up on you.
Speaker 5: Know i'm gonna tell you something When Ciara said she prayed,
Speaker 5: so did I. I was like, I want to be
Speaker 5: attracted to him. I want him to be crazy about me.
Speaker 5: I want to not question whether or not he loves
Speaker 5: me more than anybody. But y'all know what I left
Speaker 5: out of my prayer?
Speaker 1: What was that? I ain't say he needed to be black.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 5: I was like, I want to be attracted to him.
Speaker 5: I want him to love me. At the time, my
Speaker 5: son was four. I was like, I want him to
Speaker 5: love TJ. And, you know, and I was like, and
Speaker 5: show me a sense of discernment. It was really my prayer.
Speaker 5: And God gave you what you asked for.
Speaker 1: And God gave me what I got. And how he
Speaker 1: get you though? How he get you? What was it?
Speaker 5: Let me tell you something. Uh-oh.
Speaker 1: I saw him at a party.
Speaker 5: Yeah he had on the worst shoes i was like
Speaker 5: i know he ain't got a woman but he was
Speaker 5: like guess guess what he said so we started talking
Speaker 5: you know he was like hey how are you so
Speaker 5: goofy like really goofy and so he's like you know
Speaker 5: who you look like you look like jennifer lopez i
Speaker 5: was like this man ain't never been with a black
Speaker 5: woman in his life Right. But he just he was
Speaker 5: just really kind. And I knew that he loved me.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you something else. On our wedding day, his
Speaker 5: mom admitted to me. She said, you know, when the
Speaker 5: night you met him, he called me and said, Mom,
Speaker 5: I met the woman I'm going to marry. It's a
Speaker 5: good thing he didn't tell me that because I would
Speaker 5: have been like, weirdo. But yeah, he knew immediately. He
Speaker 5: was like, yeah, he was like, I met her. And
Speaker 5: she told me that on our wedding day. She was like,
Speaker 5: he knew you were the one the day he met you.
Speaker 1: And you said her shoes was on the wrong feet.
Speaker 6: No, it was just awful.
Speaker 1: They were just awful.
Speaker 5: I was like, who would wear these? You cannot have
Speaker 5: a woman.
Speaker 1: What kind was they? They were like Doc Martens or something.
Speaker 1: Every damn time I get around you, I'm going to
Speaker 1: be looking down at his feet. I ain't going to
Speaker 1: be no more damn good. I got him now. I
Speaker 1: got him now. I buy his shoes.
Speaker 5: You got him on his shoes?
Speaker 1: Yes, I buy his shoes. Anybody else meet any spot
Speaker 1: that shoes is on the wrong feet? Walk it off,
Speaker 1: sleuth foot. Oh, my bad.
Speaker 5: Scuffed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome, man. Rock, when did you..
Speaker 3: You ain't got to answer the question right, T. You
Speaker 3: already know the answer. We knew you was going to
Speaker 3: marry her when you bought her the NBA All-Star when
Speaker 3: we went to Vegas. Me, you, me, you, hair crack,
Speaker 3: supposed to be a guy, should be going to.
Speaker 1: Vegas to All-Star.
Speaker 4: He brought sand to the beach.
Speaker 1: He brings, he brings crystal.
Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: And we're like, what you doing? I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he gone. He already gone. You should have stayed your
Speaker 1: ass in Dallas.
Speaker 2: At home.
Speaker 1: You should have stayed at home.
Speaker 7: Yeah, man.
Speaker 1: Sitting up there, everybody chilling, and then y'all, she come
Speaker 1: up there, we can't do nothing. Everybody, we got to
Speaker 1: be nice and respectful. She talking about the Lord and stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, y'all get out.
Speaker 3: It's 8669-R-I-C-K-E-Y.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. Good morning. Adrian calling from
Speaker 1: Fort Mitchell, Alabama.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think we were.
Speaker 1: Created to date outside of our race. Much less procreate
Speaker 1: outside of our race. I think those guys are sellouts.
Speaker 1: They sellouts. They just sellouts. Straight up sellouts.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is Linda from Baton Rouge. I don't want
Speaker 2: nothing outside of my race, and I told my sons
Speaker 2: the same thing. I think the thing that bothers me
Speaker 2: the most is I see a good-looking black man and,
Speaker 2: excuse me, with a fat, nasty, sloppy-looking white woman, and
Speaker 2: then here's a big, full-size, beautiful black queen, and you
Speaker 2: won't choose them. So, yes, I have a problem with it.
Speaker 7: I'm calling from Houston, and no, there's not a problem.
Speaker 7: There's only a stipulation.
Speaker 4: If you're going to.
Speaker 7: Marry someone outside of your race, you have to make
Speaker 7: sure your children are exposed to that other race, especially
Speaker 7: if it's a minority race and especially if it's black.
Speaker 7: You can't just marry outside of your race as a
Speaker 7: non-black person, especially, and not surround your children with their
Speaker 7: black family or their minority family.
Speaker 6: My name is Renee calling out of Louisville.
Speaker 1: Love is love.
Speaker 6: But however, when black men are marrying white women, they
Speaker 6: become slave to white women. White women are the ones
Speaker 6: that are beginning to all the money that they have
Speaker 6: going into their communities, their families, things like that. That's
Speaker 6: my opinion on that.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's some good stuff.
