7 - Interracial Relationships & Being Pro Black

June 21, 2019

Say it loud! This episode, we discuss being pro black and interracial relationships. Is it pro black to support and fight for the black community while dating a non-person of color?  We share our experiences of growing up in Georgia and the hard lessons we learned in racism. We explain what an interracial relationship is and explore the troubles that may arise outside of the relationship, such as racist friends and family disapproval. We explain how a non-POC can make themselves an ally and "do the work" with their partner and themselves. We debate on whether the LGBTQ community is more accepting of race and interracial couples than the black community. Do you think you can be pro black and in an interracial relationship? Do you think it requires too much work? Let us know! Share your questions and comments on our Instagram @collectivelypodcast, on Twitter @CollectivelyPod, and at CollectivelyPodcast@gmail.com.
