00:00Bullies, she even started crying about it, the interracial relationships.
00:03Some people say that I am in an interracial relationship, even though my husband is black.
00:08And I'm black, but I'm mixed.
00:10So I'm black and I'm white and my husband's black.
00:13But to be honest with you, a lot of people don't want to believe that racism still exists.
00:20But my dad is white and my mom is black.
00:24I see it all the time.
00:25And there's one incident that I will never forget.
00:30It was about maybe 10, 12 years ago.
00:32My mom, we, you know, were buying a house.
00:36And my mom went in.
00:37It was this affluent neighborhood.
00:39My mom went in, you know, kind of like the stage homes or whatever to get an application.
00:45And they said, oh, I'm sorry, we're sold out.
00:48Then my mom sent in my dad, who's white.
00:52And I will say, my mom now has that house.
00:55Wow.
00:55So, yeah, so I do believe that it still exists.
01:00I mean, do you?
01:01Very much so.
01:02I was in an interracial marriage.
01:03I would never think to have to say, oh, by the way, my husband's black.
01:07So when he comes in, don't let your jaw drop.
01:09Yeah.
01:09When I moved to Dallas was the first time that was thrown in my face.
01:12Yeah.
01:12But also with my dad, I remember because my dad defended OJ in the OJ trial.
01:17That's for the first time I really experienced a ton of racism.
01:21We would get kicked out of restaurants because my dad was defending OJ.
01:24Or just really crazy things.
01:27Yeah, it was really intense.
01:28That's crazy.
01:29And as kids, you don't understand.
01:30And in my household, I was never allowed to describe a person for weight or color.
01:36Always just like, oh, the girl.
01:38Like, I would have to give like a personal characteristic.
01:40I was never allowed to say, oh, the chubby girl.
01:43Like, I could never say that.
01:44That's, yeah.
01:45Like, my dad was super strict about that.
01:47So, but yeah, racism is real.
01:49Yeah.
01:50I grew up.
