Listen, I am a Jamaican and let me tell you some of us just damn dark and ignorant. All I see from this vids apart from the nature or info you share, especially this one is the love between you both. I mean it's there in the way you look at each other and touch each other. I mean love is love no matter the colour of our skins

[@superchargecoach]

One race, one people, one love - who God bless, no man curse. Amen!

[@God_I.]

Very well said 🙏🙌💚

[@magnoliabeauty2954]

AMEN

[@yolandalores2748]

Very interesting conversation. My husband and I have been married for 45 years, as an interracial couple I understand you 100%.. his family did not accept me, but he made it very clear to them that I was the love of his life, and 45 years later 2 grown up kids and 2 grand children we still love each other very much. And thats all it matters, the love for each other ❤

[@simplyanicia8610]

The way she looks at him.its just so cute.aww

[@noellee1439]

So glad you two are still together. Please keep on loving each other. Love is love.

[@debbieannisaacs2778]

As a Jamaican I am very disappointed with the way you are both treated, I cannot imagine any Jamaican behaving in that way, we are usually very warm, open and friendly, we promote one love. Just know not all Jamaicans think or behave like that. Wish you guy’s every success in your relationship. Love you guys.

[@joannehurt6393]

What you have to make number 1 is the love you two have. I am 70 years old and Love Will Conquer All. Why? Because God's Will does not lie. I am a witness to that. Ms. Jo

[@iantheianthe846]

I am Saint Lucian and this is our perception of Jamaicans. Exactly what Alex described.

[@debbieannisaacs2778]

@@iantheianthe846 it is impossible for you to speak for everyone living in Saint Lucia. The fact of the matter is that we are not all the same. Anyway this was over a year ago and Alex is indeed married to a Jamaican woman, which proves my point that we not all the same.

[@nodgelyobo1]

To be honest there is an element of racism in every ever country (race)...l'm a white Scotsman and l moved to london over 40 years ago..l met and had a daughter with a girl whose father was Grenadan and mother from St Lucia..London of course is very open minded and we had no problem there...But when l tooK her up to my country Scotland l noticed a difference in people..lt's not that they were rude or anything..but because l come from a small village most of them hadn't seen anyone of colour in that area because they hadn't travelled..So it was more liKe curiosity and naive ignorance...Anyway to cut a long story short, my daughter has now a relationship with a Jamaican man and has given me 3 gorgeous brown grandaughters.....And although me and daughters mom have split up we still get on great with one another...Both of us are in our mid 60's now and it's been an amazing journey which we wouldn't change for anything...

[@j.oreardon9426]

I just found your channel and subscribed! You are a gorgeous couple and I wish you every success. I started dating interracially in the early 80s in the American south. The white people stared or frowned. Unfortunately, black men physically attacked me on several occasions. I was always able to handle it, but it shouldn't have ever happened. Things are better here now, but far from perfect. Just stay strong and know that your love is stronger than most. I pray for your relationship to grow and prosper

[@KemAlexVlogs]

We’re so sorry you had to face physical hurt for the sake of love 😕 it’s far from perfect as you say but as long as it’s getting better. People should never be judged and abused just because of who they love.

[@gunnarjonsson601]

This is not about racism but memories of our trip to Jamaica in 1979. We landed in Montego Bay and were picked up by a taxi driver who suggested we should spend a few days by his parents in s small village a couple of miles outside Montego Bay, and so we did. After a few days we took a walk in in surroundings. After a while walking we met a guy who looked at us and said "Hey, you look like you are from Sweden, do you know Peps?" Peps is a Swedish guy singing reggae songs och nearby there was house owned by a Jamaican reggae artist, cannot remember who it was but anyhow it is unforgettable.'

[@jamdown3567]

I'm in an interracial relationship. I'm Jamaican and my boo is Russian-American. I can't believe this crap. That's not my country Jamaica at all 😢😢😢. Most of us are so accepting and cool. Maybe because I've moved away many years ago, so it's now different.

[@jamdown3567]

@Mortal Silence well thank you ♥️♥️ and at the same time, I'm sorry to hear that. Keep your heads up.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I’ve had fears of dating out of my “race” and bringing a man to my family’s country of Jamaica. Your video confirms many things for me but encourages me and reminds me that love conquers all. Beautiful couple, I’m so happy for the both of you. Continue to be safe on your travels.

[@dorothyjones1036]

My son and my daughter each have white spouses. They've faced difficult situations due to racism. However they have been loyal to each other. They both love God which is the the strength, joy and peace in their lives. He provides opportunities, wealth, strength and safety for them.

[@carlswoolf4544]

Beautiful couple! My fiancé and I are an interracial couple and we have been together for 20 years. I’m Jamaican and he is white English. Luckily for us we live in a really diverse part of England. I’m actually born in England but growing up here I never really felt English because I wasn’t accepted. People always asked me where I was born then they would say ‘no but really where are you from?’ As my generation grew up there were more and more mixed couples. So much so that a third of my sons school friends are from mixed relationships. When David and I fell in love we didn’t see colour but I went to Uni in the north of England were things are very different from the south. That’s when I started noticing people watching us. My family love David and his family are very reserved but they accepted me. My family call him ‘the honorary Jamaican.’ He loves Jamaican food so my family love to feed him. I love your part at the end we are one race. Love is power. Stay beautiful. I still get followed around supermarkets when I go abroad. Greece was the worst. I had someone in a hotel ask if I was Indian or African because they don’t trust Africans because Africans steal. Can you believe that? I always get nervous when we go on holiday. I’m actually a mix of white, Afro Caribbean and Indian Caribbean but I only know Jamaican culture same as my grandparents. David gets really mad about racism but I guess I’m more used to it. Being black in England in the 1980s was not fun but I had a warm Jamaican family. Love can conquer all beautiful people.

[@carlswoolf4544]

@Kyle P.V I'm both. I'm born here so I am British and I have DNA ancestry here too. 30% or me is actually European...so my statement is correct ...and I do hold English ancestry and belong to that ethnic group as well as many others.

[@carlswoolf4544]

@Kyle P.V that's nice

[@kimopple]

It's sad that people pass remarks about killing and saying you stealing their woman. First of all, some Jamaican men just nuh ready yet, dem fi gwan and go siddung, and I said some, because you do have good Jamaican men, but child, we ladies have given dem so many chances and they blow it. Where is the law that you have to date your own race and your own country? I have given my own race so many chances that for the past year I'm desiring someone outside my own race. How am I selling out because I prefer someone different? Girl live your life. I tell People, happiness is key, once you happy do you. Life is too short to be staying with men/women who makes you unhappy and sad, sometimes that happiness is outside your race and country.

[@leewalters4393]

That's so true 💕 these some of these Jamaican men are playing games with women, they treat us bad and expect us to stay and keep being with people from Jamaica 🇯🇲 they don't own us. To be honest with you I really don't see myself dating a Jamaican man and I'm Jamaican. Yes there are good men in Jamaica but the majority is bad so prefer to date some not from my culture

[@leewalters4393]

Yeah seriously why would you want to threaten someone because they look different than you? Plus I think the schools and the government needs to do a better job in educating the people stop letting them think that white people are richer, more valuable, slave masters, more more powerful and racist. We are all equal

[@dixiematias3130]

You are so right,and i say the same thing

the fact that this also happens in jamaica blows my mind.

[@lydmarl.475]

[@daunwright458]

Yes it does

[@MariamArt_]

I’m unsurprised about the absurdly of how ignorant some Jamaicans are due to the fact that they’re a Black country in the Caribbean Islands. They have a history of British colonialism and Slavery. Due to slaves being imported from the Gold Coast (President-Day Ghana) to Jamaica as British Jamaica in their oversea colonies with the expansionism of colonial trade and policies towards the Passage Route through importation and exportation of slaves from Africa overseas through guidelines and regulations. Even the British Imperial Royal Navy has to abolish the slave trade due to heightening measures of supply stock, supply shortages, overall economic difficulties with managing their colonies due to endless wars and battles in Europe. They wanted the Transatlantic Slave Trade to be abolish. That is when European colonialism has to be established due to many African emperors and empresses still continuing the practice of the slave trade cycle through buying and selling African slaves to let them be exported and shipped to other countries. I thought Jamaicans do not see race. But they do see skin color but it is only when they culturally curious and have some sort of culture shock. All thought all my Rastafarians were welcoming of all ethnicities and sexes no matter nationality, creed, race, country of origin, and gender :(. ☹️☹️

So sad you guys had to go through that in Jamaica!! I’m actually so shocked, never expected that from Jamaicans maybe cos we’ve never experienced that there with Chris. You guys touched on some serious topics, sad how people can be. We are ONE race!

[@leewalters4393]

I think in Jamaica we stare because we don't see someone like him very often, also I think they stare because in some parts of Jamaica people think that people who look like him are rich, which is unfortunate because some Jamaicans think that, or think that you've hit the Jack pot or your gold digger 😑 it's sad. Jamaicans need to educate themselves , cause I'm Jamaican and I use to think like that until I started traveling. Love has no colour 💕

You guys, make your world what you want it to be, but always stay true to yourselves.

[@TonezOhh]

I watched to see how many points you mentioned I'd relate to. As I expected, I relate to most, though the extremity of being threatened with violence and death my partner and I have never experienced. I was wondering if there were some points that you were too shy to touch on though Kem. The experience in JA like you mentioned is much more explicit and often I personally feel like I don't fit in in either world (not in Switzerland where I live with my partner nor, sadly, in Jamaica anymore). The so called UPT people often see my partner as a souvenir to collect in a range of exotic foreigners they've met & can mention in their circles to prove their self importance. Oftentimes in these situations I'd be right beside him and they completely ignore me as if I'm not standing right there. Then on the other hand people give me an attitude when they realize we are together. It's veey often me who gets the brunt of their negative attitudes though. Like you said, they either now see me and him as an ATM or they say nasty things to me that in essence mean that I think I'm better than them (which I def do not). It just seems like I don't fit in anymore unless I visit JA by myself. I've cut off countless people for this very reason as it showed me who really were genuine and who were not. This is such a deep and nuanced topic to discuss as there are so many layers of emotion that come along with it & I'm just brushing the surface. There's a lot I could talk about in terms of the sense of identity (or loss of identity) associated with migrating and being in an interracial relationship. Anyway, thanks for sharing. It was interesting to see your perspective on the topic :)

[@KemAlexVlogs]

Wow! Wow wow.... we can relate so much. Kem too have been in the position where she had to cut off people due to the same reasons you mentioned.! But love wins all the time and as long as we know the heart of one self and the genuineness of our relationship we will win every time. Good luck to you and you husband!

I’m Just browsing and came upon u guys again, It’s just so sad that this racism topic is just so disgusting, people make their choices of who they want to associate with. I’m a Jamaican myself and I don’t see any issue with interracial couples. I live in the US and I find it sad that some people are stuck in a box. We’re living in much different times. I love u guys, u guys are so down to earth and so organic. Do ur thing and ignore as much as u can. In the US there is so much interracial couples, when I see an interracial couple I just smile and keep it moving. We have racism a lot in the US but it does not stop the individuals from getting together. Racism is just an uncomfortable topic.

Kem that kind of stare is simply b'se they admire u . I have taught ma self to accept the fact that black ladies r exptionally beautiful

Thanks you guys and keep up and never let anybody discourage you or talk bad of your relationship ... You did great sharing your story and many people need to hear that and break down their barriers. After all we are all human living in one world.

Thank you ❤️

Yesterday my daughter told me about your chanel. Today I can't stop watching. This is the first time I needed to react. It made me so sad to hear the reaction of some people about your skin color. I'm so sorry😢. I only can see the beauty in you as a couple. God bless and protect you. Greetings and love out of Aruba❤

[@gloriabrooks594]

Love you guys! You are so right Alex, we are just one race. Keep loving each other. God Bless!

I’m a black Jamaican going with a person from India and I get a lot of the same things and I live in the United States. I get more hate when I go to the Indian Sikh Temple’s and Indian community. Usually my Jamaican friends are happy for me and other Jamaicans are happy to see us together. I’m not bothered by it because I feel like that’s a part of being into and Interracial relationship so I just roll with the flow so if you love each other don’t worry about what other people think.

[@justcallmebon2684]

I’m black Jamaican and my husband is Indian. 💕

[@dante-vergil]

Indians are racist towards their own brown people😂. I have faced too. Enjoy your life coz barriers arr everywhere.

[@carmeliabost0n866]

Just found your channel. Love you guys. Can't stop watching.

[@StephJ0seph]

I wish there wasn't any music in the video so that I could hear you talking clearly😥 But I really appreciated hearing your perspectives 💕

[@feinantsnants2339]

I was very touched to hear and know that it happens in Sweden to other people too. On the other hand it was an eye opening. I was always wondering what I have done wrong.

[@dannieannie]

Yes, anyone who travel ppl feel like they have money...smh. That ATM point is too real!

[@tshidikhunou]

I must admit, this video hit me very differently because that is what i deal with also. The issues you guys have gone through, i have gone through them... Thank you for this video.

[@empresslaya2216]

I was surprised to find out you experienced so much racism in JA. My husband is Jamaican Rasta, and I am American. We have been back & forth to JA for 12 years and have only heard racist comments 2 or 3 times. I'm sorry to hear that is happening to such a nice couple. ~BLESS

[@browngirl313]

Thank you for sharing that y'all are such a beautiful couple. At the end of the day it's about love and that's all that matters.

[@Shakay]

They say we black people cannot be racist- I definitely disagree

[@KemAlexVlogs]

[@joejoebayoh6196]

we were taught to.

[@kamalarawson3200]

Amazing testimony chem and Alex ❤️
