Summary

I recently saw a TikTok of a woman who said white people need to “be an ally” and “be aware of their privilege” in interracial relationships. Speaking as someone in an interracial relationship myself, there’s an important distinction between simply dealing with cultural differences versus introducing an ideology of victimhood and oppression into a relationship. Let’s talk about it.

If you are the light partner, you need to be an ally because you're not just dating this person because they're beautiful.

0:06.5

You're now associating with somebody who doesn't live in that same privilege.

I found an interesting leftist take on interracial relationships and as somebody who is in an interracial relationship myself, I figure why not react to it? Let's talk about it.

Young Apollo with the hood!

Guys, before we get into this leftist hot take, please like and subscribe. I want as many people to find this channel as possible so you know what to do.

A little bit of background, I myself Amola Epinobi, I'm in an interracial relationship with a white man.

0:35.5

AHHHHH! No! No!

0:37.5

The horror, you know, it must be because of my internalized racism that I've sought out a white man today, but we'll talk about that another day.

Let's get into this leftist hot take about acknowledging race and being a white ally when you are in a relationship with a person of color.

I don't think it's a coincidence that you see a lot of black, black dad white mom, and I honestly like haven't unpacked it fully within myself and like my family, but...

1:01.5

I wish she would go on to explain why she doesn't think that's a coincidence. What do you mean?

1:07.0

I see a lot of black women white males, I see a lot of Asian women white males, I see a lot of mixing of all different races and not just white pairings with other races.

1:16.5

I mean Hispanic people with Asians, Hispanic people with black people, it doesn't matter. I mean we live in an age now where I think race is not really a big factor in relationships anymore, which is why you see so much mixing, so many biracial children running around, so many little mes around the world.

1:32.0

I think that like for anybody who's in an interracial relationship whichever way it goes, I think it's important to realize that if you were the white partner and not...

1:50.0

It's never like Asian black, Hispanic black, anything like that. It's always what is the white person dating, which isn't really interesting, maybe a 40-in-slip there.

You need to be an ally because you're not just dating this person because they're beautiful. Obviously you are, you're attracted to them in some way, but you have to understand that with that and whether this is like a black person or any other person of color, you have to understand with that comes maybe some baggage that person is not even aware of?

2:20.0

Oh, re-chain!

2:22.0

I was wondering how she was going to address that. First, she reduces down interracial relationships to just white mixed with X, Y, and Z. Then she says, you know, you're not only dating the person because they're beautiful.

2:32.0

Dammit, you are handsome!

2:34.0

It's not mentioning anything about your, you know, internal characteristics, your personality, your morals, your values.

It's my integrity and my character.
