Hey friends, Jamie Garris here and welcome to Wait It Out, a podcast all about dating, relationships, and other things worth waiting for.

So yesterday's episode was called a problem with interracial relationships, and we jumped right into it

when we just talk about what it truly means to love someone for their heart and who they are and their character and not instead of when you're single and when you're interested in pursuing a relationship with one, not going after someone in the context of like a fetish or an obsession,

or out of the lack of what you don't have in your own life.

So for example, saying, well, I want a black guy because, you know, all white guys guys are awful or I want to be with a white girl because I don't like the way black girls do this and so I also

mentioned in yesterday's episode that today's episode would be more so for the couples that are in interracial

relationships and interracial marriages and so it's very likely that you guys are

already you know past those those types of awkward conversations and

you're genuinely truly in love and I really want to talk

about that because unfortunately so many people have you know gotten like sent me messages

saying they're doing with racism either from their family or their

spouses out of the family or their you know fiance side of the family when it comes to

race and people are asking me what should they do and how should they deal with

this and you know it really breaks my heart I my

sister her husband is is white and I remember dealing with so much stuff even now

like people make so many awkward comments and ask me, so many awkward questions, like, oh,

did you feel like you had to be with a black guy?

Because your sister, you know, married a non-black guy.

All this kinds of stuff is just, it's so weird,

it's so awkward.

I just, I didn't grow up with my family having that kind of

mindset you know I didn't grow up thinking oh I have to marry this person of this skin
