  • 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! 👏🏾
  • 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.

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

    I am a black woman and I support you 100 percent because love has no color. God is love we should love each other as God loves us
  • 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. ❤

    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.

    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.

    Well I'm a black man and momma and poppa raised me right!...I SEE NO AND THERE IS NO WRONG WITH Y'ALL BEING TOGETHER!...I STAND WITH Y'ALL! 💯...
  • 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.

    What Keisha said at the end was so real and honest, that should definitely be a whole new topic for a podcast 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.
  • 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 ❤

    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?
  • HI, TRAY AND KEISHA. I LIKE THE PODCAST. I HAVE BEEN WITH YALL SINCE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR YOUTUBE 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 🙂💖🙏🙏🙏
  • Tray and keash you guys did great. Tray you need to be an inspirational speaker. You break things down very well.

    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 ❤
