Omg! Brian's dad looks like the white version of T.D.Jakes!
My goodness -- you're absolutely right!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!
Right???!!!!
Yes! He really does.
So much so. He really does
haha he does.
As soon as his Mom said she is my ride or die had me immediately tearing up. If you marry into the right family you can acquire many soulmates! 💖💕
Yes indeed!
Yes, our son married a white girl...had been friends since elementary Christian school. Her parents have always been loving and accepting.
I love Brian’s father’s honesty and openness about race.
His candor was so refreshing and genuine. Love it!
I cried when Brian's dad got emotional 😢 this world is so closed minded when it comes to ethical heritages. Im so happy for this family for getting through this 💓 I'm so happy I found this channel 🙏 God bless you all ❤🥰 Both families raised great children, Aza is blessed 🙌
Brian's dad is so emotional...I teared up every time he did. What a loving family.
Yes! What a caring man!
Yesss me too. He seems so sweet 🥰🥰
You can tell that he really loves her as a daughter and does not want to harm her in away even if it’s out of his own ignorance. That’s maturity and a level of humility most can’t come to.
Yesss I did too!😢
He's so sweet. I wish more folks were like Brian's parents.
I am a black woman who really really appreciated this video. It was touching. Especially with your dad. You guys give us so much hope. Lord God, In Jesus Name, continue to bless and keep this family.😊
Love this . My hubby and I really love the honesty you all had. I've shared this with some friends who are also a intercultural family. Thanks so much.
Amen 🙏🏼
Yes, I agree. Mr. Cole (the father) really touched my heart.✝️ Much appreciated how the family love came together. I feel from listening to the family. That they see her as a loving person , and not the color. I ❤️ that. A very beautiful humble family. 💪 Message. 🛐💜
Why are ppl assuming that there’s the need of a god that blesses everything?
they are blessing themselves. Period
Mee too ..you said it all , Amen
Mom's voice is so beautiful-- earthy, melodic, and full. Very powerful. I need her to record an audiobook or something...❤❤
I was thinking it and then I saw your comment! Mom has a lovely voice🌸
Mom is actually a powerful preacher who growing up I would hear her speak in different revivals in and around Detroit. Such an encourager and woman who is literally love in action. I love this family!♥️
I agree very soothing
@@joyh.729 Really?? Where can I hear her preaching the word of God? Or find her on social media of course.
Dad made me cry. What he said about Lexi and wrapping his arms around her to keep her safe guarded is just amazing. You guys are incredible people. God Bless you all. 🕊🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽
The is EVIDENCE that LOVE KNOWS NO COLOUR🤗🤗
not sure i think love see color yet that doesn’t affect how it loves at all. God is love. He see our differences he knows them all he made us all! he loves us all immensely and our uniqueness doesn’t take away or add from that! Love acknowledges all colors and sees it’s beauty ❤️
Love sees color, but cherries each color.
To be honest- I can barely watch this for crying. This is a necessary story. Thank you Mr. Cole Sr for your vulnerability. This is what is needed in the world. When he talks about wanting to learn how to protect Lexi. Wow. Beautiful family ❤️
Thank you so much that means the world 🤎🤎
I am a 72 year old African American female and I sit here listening to you guys and your parents try not to cry. I find The Coles to be the most amazing people, TRUE CHRISTIANS. You’re so beautiful warm sweetheart. God bless you all 😀❤️
Brian”s dad made me cry. He truly felt hurt for not protecting his daughter. Thanks for being so open in this conversation.
Every person on this earth has prejudices because of our background. But, people that choose to live life to the full will grow. Nice to see the love between humans. We are all of the human race but have different cultures.
Great examples of patience, forgiveness, acceptance and love in a family.
They are a loveing family
I’m convinced that God uses multi-ethnic relationships like this to bridge racial tensions in the world. Not to say it’s for everyone. But when it is, it is. 🙌🏽 #married13years #momof3biracialkids
God bless you ma’am.
ItspriscillaB if you have heard of. Twin flames relationships that’s the whole point of that union... to heal and bring tighter the human kind and heal the universe....and most of these union are biracial...
Married 10. 2 biracial boys
Priscilla Marcia Awesome Priscilla! ❤️
BiKé Ojomo BLESS YOU! ❤️
Tears welled Im my eyes as I listened to your Dad explain the changes he went through and how he finally understood how Lexie needed to be protected. He was overwhelmed with emotion and so was I...that a white man with his background really really was able to understand the fear that black mothers and fathers have for their children daily. You are a very very special family and it is a blessing to see believers who actually “live” the word. Your conversation was totally honest and I was so blessed by it. I pray that God continues to watch over you all and protect your love for one another. Your daughter looks absolutely beautiful!!😇
When Brian stated - I was ready to war for this one. So sweet.
Wow. Every woman wants to hear that from her man
When Brian’s Dad started talking about the need to protect Lexi I just started tearing up! You all are such beautiful people!😭
Brian’s dad!!!:,)) I used to go to your church and he was always so kind to me(my mom included), always such a genuine person! I was quite young so I was incredibly shy, but he always made the effort to talk to me : ] much love to you guys!!!
I’m crying with your dad Brian .. Mr.Cole you’re the REAL MVP A MAN OF GOD !
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Awwwwe! He brought me to tears too.
He is really that sincere . This family is amazing. I love all of them from the bottom of my heart.
For real! 💕
I love you guys and the realness you show, continue to open the mine of others. Blessing on you guys
“We don’t know what we don’t know!” THIS! Being open and educating yourself is everything.
Yes agreed let's have a conversation
OMG I love Brian's dad! That's a real man. His love for his family brings him to tears. Love it!
Where do one gets inlaws as loving as Lexi"s? That was a beautiful conversation.
Me too
Definitely from Jesus, they gats to be saved by Jesus. The way they love.. you know you get parents in law like this from the Lord himself.
I usually don’t comment, but I knew there was a reason why I was subscribed to your channel. This is it! Not just because you are a Christian couple or that you’re a mixed culture family, but because of the love you two have for each other and the love that your families have for each other. I would love to have that one day. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I totally agree.
@Tacheigna, & you will have it one day just always remember to never lower your standards, always trust God & most importantly write down what you want. Be specific because you will have what you say 💖
Agreed Tacheigna
Same! thank you for this comment it echoes many of our hearts!
Yup. Well said!
This should have gone viral, great conversation.
We can still get it to go viral!
Oh my!!!!! I love her father in law!!!!! When he talked about wrapping his arms around her in protection, I could not help the tears....for so many reasons!!!
Mama said this my ride or die... I love it!
I love this videooo!!! I love your family....your dad made me cry!! Twicee!!
His parents are extremely loving people. We need more people like them in the world of all races🥰😍
I have to admit that Brian's dad getting emotional as he talked about being oblivious to Lexi needing to be protected made me cry. I had to take a pause and process that. Beautiful ♥️ family
I live in Michigan and this is the conversation that needs to be had with all people. I love your relationship and your willingness to have the "talk". I was shocked when your father-in--law said he was from Howell since its been know to be very racist. In a world full on so much hatred I applaud you for taking the time to do this and prove that its easier to love than hate. Keep spreading God's 2nd commandment to "love our neighbor as we love ourselves". Be blessed and be safe.
Thank God for her in-laws!!!. Glad they accept this union of two people that love each other and are happy!!!!!.
This was so genuine. I teared up when the FIL got emotional about protecting Lexi. This gives me hope that one day we will be treated equally.
Amen
Amen! I love it.
Amen I hope
This transparency is rich. Blessings to your family in Jesus.
I am watching this from Nairobi, Kenya. Over the past few weeks, I have been watching the racial tensions in the US on the news and was so saddened BUT am so touched by this family, truly living out their Christian faith. Choosing to LOVE each other regardless of their skin colors is truly a testimony to the the Kingdom of God! LOVE is a choice. May the good LORD shine His face upon you, bless you, keep you and protect you.
I love this family the in-laws are so genuine, honest, respectful, emotional, love god, family oriented, appreciative, accept & love their daughter-in-law. I pray for more families like them 🙏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾💙
Whoa, love the honesty of your parents especially your dad. He’s so sincere.
I'm five minutes in and I'm like okay Lexi! Give us hair, give us shoulder Queen. ❤
Faith_Hope_Love love her hair. like it more when it’s pushed back away from her face not covering her beauty
Girl, RIGHT!!!! I'm mesmerized when she wears the curly wear out loud.
I know right.
Yes Lexy is rocking her hair. Just beautiful 💖💖💖
The color of her sweater matches her skin tone perfectly!
Brian definetly has his mother's eyes. He's parents are beautiful on the outside and seem beautiful on the inside.
"The power of forgiveness and the power of an apology"Mr.Cole sir I tip my crown to you. Its an easy concept that people find hard to do. That is in the heart of Love which is God. To your family Well in peace.💜🙏🏾
Your dad made me cry, and I wish every white people can learn from your dad . Am a black woman and also a Christian ,I never ever question God but since last week I begin to question God why people hate my skin and I have been crying every day
Don't cry baby black is beautiful x
We (black) people are the Israelites in society
Nelly Mayavanga God is in control of every situation. Even in these dark times, He is still sitting on His throne, so don’t allow fear, anger or frustration to pollute you and bring you down. Remember who holds you and focus on Him. I will remember you in my prayers
@@MissDuch Thx
@@maxinehibbert1235 Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Your sweet daddy is such an emotional soul. You don’t have the Everybody Loves Raymond parents. Awesome! LOL
5:25 when the mother explains "the level of consciousness and sensitivity that's needed"
that was gorgeous, just gorgeous x
I teared up every time with Brian’s dad. He’s such an amazing person. Very beautiful family.
I really liked the video. Some things to bear in mind ( because you can never be 'too' aware). Systemic racism was not created by Black people, so please be cognizant of not burdening the Black people in your life with the emotional labor of "teaching," or explaining racism to you.. There are many tools out there that are accessible if you're open to learning! White Fragility is an awesome book, by Robin Diangelo (NYT's bestseller) Also, don't be afraid to research via google.... Though systemic racism is most adversely felt by POC, please remember that as white people you are also stakeholders b/c you benefit from it. Seek to dismantle it in your daily lives. If you hear problematic conversations at work, say something. If you get a little nervous or uncomfortable in groups of POC that you don't know...Examine where it comes from etc.It's all about checking implicit biases, and dismantling little inequities you see everyday.
Wow your comment is excellent. Thank you
Love this !
Wow, you said it expertly!
Brian and Lexi, I am in love with your parents.When your dad begins to speak there is a calmness he represents from God and your mother is an angel of God's love. Stay blessed and focused, the world loves all of you.💖🙏🏽💖🙏🏼💖🙏🏽💖🙏🏼💖🙏🏽💖🙏🏼💖🙏🏽💖🙏🏼
Such a Godly family 🙏🙏♥️♥️
I love Brian’s dad, wow, he humility and willingness to have those conversations 😭😭😭😭 God bless this family ❤️🖤
My God this family is what everyone would love to have in any race. Both parents are incredible and to hear a father-in -law wanting to protect his daughter-in-law warmed my heart immensely. So beautiful ❤️
Sniff, sniff..🥰..What Lovely in-laws/family unit!..and quite an eye opening conversation..I assumed 'white privilege' was common knowledge..This is a beautiful example of what could/should be in many homes..culturally mixed or not!
This family is so beautiful! It's so nice to see so much acceptance and love from one person to another, this is how the world really should be. I hope the generation after us has these kind of role models in their lives so they grow up loving one another regardless of skin colour, religion, or culture. Beautiful video you guys
so sweetly said wares thewolf
Love is beautiful. Enjoy one another. She is good enough for your son she is good enough for you all too. Love and understanding.
This was deep! I truly respect your parents and their love and protection of Lexi and Lexi's love for them.
I really have enjoyed this video because a lot of interracial couples never expose their parents inner thoughts about
African Americans being in their families. This was very enlightening and for His Dad to reveal his willingness to learn and protect Lexi is everything!
I am gonna need your dad to stappppppp! This is the second video I have watched that he made me cry. Such a gentle soul!
I am a black woman and I would love to marry into this family. I feel the love! 💗
Elder Dave Cole was my Sunday school teacher years ago at the churchin Highland Park. The best Sunday school teacher ever. Ive had the privilege of being Ministered to by Elder Mary Lou Cole as she was on the ministerial staff at my former church in Highland Park. She is one of the most anointed women doing it for God. I've learned so much from them directly and indirectly. Their love is rich.
Thank you to ALL of you for making this video! The WORLD needs it MORE THAN EVER right now!!! I'm an ex from an interracial marriage. None of these conversations were had before, during or after the marriage. His parents and sister loved me no doubt. However, the birth of my son REALLY had a HUGE EXTRA impact on us all as a collective family. I was raised to respect EVERYONE unless and until they behaved in a manner so as to disrespect me or threaten my welfare. Blessings to you all! Your dad cried like my son's papa whenever he was around his bleoved grandbaby, or whenever he talked about him. Love is Love! Again, thank you! Wishing you bliss, magic and miracles along this journey we call life!! You are a gorgeous couple and ...Girl I am HERE FOR THAT HAIR!!!!! LOL! One Love from beautiful BERMUDA!
South Africa loves you cole life.. now let me watch
Yes girl, we love them ! How I love Lexi. Wonderful family she is blessed and Brian family also they are blessed. What love the most they love God
Yes,true AMEN!
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Yes Homegirl, we love them(siyabathanda)

Love your parents. Their authenticity, candidness and love is so beautiful
Y'all are a Beautiful family very very Blessed.
Can you guy's do this with Lexi's parents as well it would be great to get another perspective of the other side since Mr Cole said they need each other for the family to be whole and for it to work. This was great
I would love to hear what Lexi’s family would have to say.
Brain,please do you have single and searching brother, because I'm single, phew!!! God knows I love your family.
Wow. To even be able to have such a deep conversation in this dynamic is incredible. It’s clear that ur parents have truly done their research and educated themselves. Amazing. Thank you for sharing your stories. I think we can all use a video like this during this time.
Grandma Mother's instinct never left. You can tell by the pat on the back that she as in remission waiting for her children to bring a grandchild home. I love this video. Your family is awesome!!
The mom called her “ my ride or die” 🥲😢😭❤️❤️This is love
😭😭😭 This is for every human, seriously! We are all learning and growing! Wow, such transparency, humility and vulnerability! Beautiful! Psalms 133
No words to explain how incredibile this family is! I have a different kind of love towards your family that I can't explain. I'm not able to describe it at all.🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This is love, willing to change, for their son. It is hard when one is not willing to change. Once a declaration is made, the universe opens up for you.
In light of the climate in America at the moment this is just a testament of what real love is all about regardless of race the most important race is the human race and this is the beautifully demonstrated in this video. I was so moved watching the transparency and emotion that Brian’s dad displayed when admitting his views growing up about the black people, it was real and authentic and I feel it’s made a beautiful difference to how the whole family interact with each other. This is a model that America needs to embrace to facilitate change, One family at a time willing to have hard conversations. 🙏🏿
I wanted to hug your dad when he started getting emotional. You guys are blessed to have amazing parents. I'd love to hear how your parents met.
I’m so happy to see this. Quite frankly these protest and seeing who’s out there marching has helped me keep my faith in humanity.
Yes!!
So freaking appreciate this video. I LOVE YOUR PAPA. I LOVE HIM!! Please hug him for me. This video needs to go viral. This video needs to play at every drive in movie theater. This video needs to be a freaking public service announcement. You did GREAT! So happy for you to show how America should be! WELL DONE! WELL DONE!! Amen. Amen.
Being from Michigan and hearing where both of his parents are from... Howell Michigan has a history. It’s kind of miracle that his parents met. I was blessed to hear the openness 💕#lovemichigan #family
Brian's dad is such a sweet person i love a man who show his real emotions
Brian your dad getting emotional made me tear up 😭. I love that they recognize and acknowledge the things that they learned from y’all being together. I feel like if we had more people like your parents in this world we could change the narrative on in-laws are or even how multi-ethnic families are
My favourite couple. They're Godly, professional and family oriented.
Bryant's pears are amazing how they explain their whole true feelings is just awesome now I would love to be part of their friendship.
Y’all are so very understanding of both cultures you can see the love ,beautiful I enjoyed the conversation.
This video really lifted my spirit. To know that there are genuine people out there who are willing to face difference hed on and learn from it. Much love
I would feel so blessed if I have inlaws as amazing as hers. Regardless of what race they're from, having inlaws that truly see you as their own and are willing to grow for you is a blessing.
LOL! Lilly white! I think it’s beautiful that Cole’s parents were open and willing for Lexi to open their understanding concerning white privilege! Not many people are willing to open up to this type of conversation it shows that your parents have an humble heart! Lexi you are one awesome daughter of God! You two are really an awesome couple!🥰💜
I love how emotional ur dad is omg 🙂 everytime he gets emotional tears come to my eyes 😪
Whew! Dad brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful Family 😍
They are bless to have each other and a understanding family that know she's a Black woman who married into a white family who love each other.
Once in a lifetime you can meet interracial parents who are very loving and caring and open-minded for their children. I must say I love Brian& Lexi's for been who they are, and showing the world that love see no colors, and all so want to thank his parents because this is one of a kind relationship that I think every interracial relationship wish they can have. You guys are awesome and keep up the good fight, and stay safe. I forgot to mention the baby girl she is beautiful. Thank you for sharing her with us.
Thank you for sharing so candidly. I know for a fact that all racially mixed relationships don’t turn out like that. My sister in law’s father stop speaking to her after she married my brother. He never wanted to meet his grandchildren. He died without knowing them. It did my heart well to see the willingness to change and to see the world with different eyes. There’s hope for country, one person at a time.
This was absolutely amazing. Transparency was definitely needed with such touchy subjects, so important to have it. Dad had me crying because I felt every bit of his emotions. In no way do I think you guys are perfect however I love your family dynamic.
Argh, I just love how your dad is so emotional. Brought a bit of tears in my eyes. The way I was smiling throughout the video, you guys are such a wonderful family and I pray that God keeps you and bless you continuously.
Yes,Mulalo i was also smiling,what a beautiful family and God bless them.
I will like to hear more of Brian's father's story. He is a bundle of experience and emotions. Am really touched
finally watching a wholesome video after this hurting time
This was such a beautiful video! I am new to y’alls channel and have already watch quite a few today. I am in an interracial relationship and have a similar family dynamic that y’all have. I am insanely close with my husband’s family and vice versa. We have just truly started to really get into the meat of talking about race with our parents together and seeing this video was very validating. Thank you for your content!
You can see that they are true, I love them all.
This was awesome. I do really appreciate this dialogue so honesty transparency and I thank Brian's parents was sitting there with open hearts and just pouring out to us and that's why we should not judge a person God told us to love each other and we let him do the judging so I thank them so much for for this conversation. You have one big loving family on both side. And through your love we see the Lord and how He is THE HEAD OF both Families. AMEN
Such a beautiful family 👏
I'm literally in love with this whole family
I love this Family, and this post! When Brian's Dad became emotional, that meant SO much to me. He had me tearing up right along with him! I Love the fact that All of you are willing to learn, grow, and love together. You have a Beautiful Family! God's continuous Blessings to All of You! Sincerely, Paula
When Brian said!! I’m FIGHTING for this one😭😭😭😭😍😍😍Your parents are amazing!! The real openness & conversation, is what’s needed in this climate we are in. Your LILY white dad made me 😭😭😭😭😭How he wanted to protect Lexi at all cost😭😭😭😭The dialogue is just so right🥰! I ignorantly thought all white people KNEW😞! I now apologize, cause here you are speaking your TRUTH, as you understand & learn & made changes!! O gosh I’m hollering all of this! This is how awesome a family we can all be, when Jesus is in this boat🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾for this fam🙏🏾FAMILY is EVERYTHING❤️❤️❤️
Such a beautiful God-fearing family. To that, I say Amen! Just beautiful you guys.
Love the talk on Race and Culture, thank all of you, when we just sit and listen and talk to each other we learn a lot that each persons is the same, Made by GOD and we are all GODS childrens
Frances thats encouraging
This was beautiful to watch. Especially Brian's dad!! He was so vulnerable and willing to change, for the sake of family!!! Just beautiful!
Dad melted my heart. What a wonderful loving family. 💖💖💖
I love your family; I would love to you see Lexis’ parents do a Q&A.
Brian's parents are soooooooo lovely !!
This video helped me to understand better and at a deeper level that ignorance is far from being always a sign of "bad faith" as I thought it was so far.
This CZcams channel has an educational and spiritual purpose far beyond what you guys can even imagine.
Thank you to all of you to shine the love of God
100% true
100%TRUE
When Brain's dad kissed the baby's head, CRIED!!!
Thank You Father for opening their hearts ❤️🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
