I Date Outside My Race and It's None of Your Business | FULL EPISODE | Ricki Lake 

THE 90S WAS WILD AF BUT ALSO AUTHENTIC AT THE SAME TIME 😂

The authenticity of this show is what is missing from television today

"Does he cheat on you?" "..Yea.." 😂😂😂😂 I lost it

“You raised her well” took me out 😂😂

When Greg came out the door twirling…I lost it 😩😂

The most shocking part of this show was those 2 grannies who said they were 35.😱

Lol Ricki be running thru that crowd for them questions n reactions booooiii 😂

“…I don’t think you’re 35” 😂😂😂 neither do we sis, neither do we.

The first mother looks like Hank Hill with Peggy Hill's hair.😂

A great man once said be careful who you hate because the same people who you hate might end up in your family, through your children.

"you raised her well" she ate that upppp lmaooo

This show was so out of pocket😂😂😂! Bring back this show and its audience!!😂

the ricki lake show is genius, thank God i grew up with it. still so relevant in 2023

“You raised her well.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mannn ricki lake was hitting some conversational topics back in 90 that still happen to this day

8:25 those stirrup pants!!!! I used to wear those back in the mid 90’s as a kid 😅😂 ahhhhhhh the memories!!

"You don't look 35." Let's be real, she just said what all of us were thinking 😂

35 back than looks a lot different than 35 today 😂😂😂😂

Dewayne had me bust out laughing. My coworkers looking at me like I lost my mind. It was the soul glo fro that did it to me.

I like how this was so much calmer than nowadays. We have lost the ability to calmly debate in today's time. There's nothing wrong with interracial relationships. Free your mind and the rest will follow. Be color blind. Don't be so shallow.

I love that people were able to speak freely

When the lady on the far right end said she is too young to be a Grandma and somebody said “you look like one” I died 😂 ⚰️

That side eye Adrianne gave when asked to be to be in her wedding took me tf out!! 🤣😂🤣

There needs to be a “Where Are They Now” version of this episode of “The Ricki Lake Show.” I’d like to know how these couples turned out. I don’t get the feeling these relationship were ultimately successful. Not because they were interracial, but because there are other issues going on (like the young lady who was impregnated by her boyfriend who was in jail for a “violation.”)

My family is like a buffet at this point. My sister in laws, aunts and uncles are black, white, hispanic, etc. I love them all.

And for the lady over here, “You ain’t 35 yrs.” Best part of the episode 😂

Bring back Ricki Lake again. Pleeeease.

Awww Greg is so sweet 🥹 I mean real sweet, not 2024 sweet 😊I like how he also asks the cousin to be in their wedding

My mom is white and my stepdad is black. They've faced discrimination in their life together and have been together for 25 years. They're soulmates and perfect for each other. I have no point just sharing.

I respect the honesty of the woman in the audience at 7:25. She made her point without being hateful.

Greg is real real real real sweet! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can't believe this was over 30 years ago. I used to attend tapings all the time. I loved that these topics were just as relevant then as they are now.....

My husband and I have been married for 44 years. We are Black and Hispanic.

Greg is gay honey! 😂😂😂

You raised her well 😂. BM were the best options for them. They treated them right 🤣

This world would be a better place if we all can just get along.

I'm not trying to be mean but does anybody remember in the 90s Ricki Lake was considered fat? It's weird now she just looks normal and super cute ❤

Hearing the say “shade” “tea” is so funny!!!

Man, I wish this show was longer. I lost it when that lady said the other one didn’t look 35 🤣

Watching these again remind me of how good her show was.

Ricki Lake rocking that 90s Gwen Stefani look. 🎶 Don't speak, i know just what you're sayin'🎶

Can we talk about how ABSOLUTELY Gorgeous the “friends “ are at the end of this episode??

As a teenager watching this back in the 90’s I remember being genuinely open mouthed watching this. The UK was totally not bothered about mixed marriages back then and we still aren’t. It’s heartbreaking to still read that there is such deep racial segregation in the USA. That’s one huge reason why Prince Harry’s marriage no one batted an eyelid. In fact not one person I know thought MM was mixed race. To call our nation and commonwealth racist is just mind blowing. It was the UK who actively called for the end of slavery and supported the civil rights movement. I just hope all of these families are now happy.

The 35 year olds from back in the days compared to now are completely different looking I remember thinking 30 year olds were old lol and now I’m 34 and think I’m still young 😂😂😂😂😂

My good sis said you are not 35 took me out! 😂😂😂

Thank you Ricki lake.I remembered watching your show in 1990 s and I was still in my junior high school

LOVE THAT PART!!! She started bobbing her head, "it's okay girl, don't fight it, he's a good guy. I get it. "who's gonna toughen up the child . Greg will teach him love and that will make him a "strong" man!

We have really been bamboozled about what racism really is. It’s more than just who likes who. A racist person can laugh and talk to people. I’ve seen them even have kids with the opposite race still practice racism. Happens every day. I have been called the N-word by white woman with a black stepdad and black children. Interracial sexual access does not mean you cannot be racist.. It’s all about the power to do what you want to group of people who you don’t like. These white women just happen to fall for Black men but honey they are many of the Karens today

The girl in the denim dress and Black turtleneck top was so pretty and she’s right that women did not look 35 and kept insisting that she is “too young “ to be a grandma, that’s perhaps why she was being clowned

"Oh wow, you raised her well." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know that's right!

RICKI LAKE TALK SHOW: 90’s: Ricki Lake has the grooviest theme show opening 🎵 🎼 🎶 love the drums and that funky bass guitar!

Love how authentic this show is!!!! Miss it

STRAIGHT to the comments when i seen greg 😂😂... Yall tha man is Gayyyy stop playing 😂😂

My white boyfriend and I were frequently stared at by most people-I also had a hispanic boyfriend; no stares, no one cared LOL

“Where’s the sheet with holes?”😭😂😂 Get out.

YOU DON'T LOOK 35!😂😂

“Do he cheat”? Well yeah 😂😂😂😂 …. I hollered 😂

Oh my God she don’t look 35 at all. I’m glad somebody said it.

"you dont look 35!" im rolling because she is absolutely correct

Aint no way Greg is marrying Nekisha. 😂

The lady said if she’s prejudice then so be it. As a man of color I applaud her. Own it.

"You raised her well" 😭😭😭 I didn't expect that

“You don’t look 35”!! 😂😂😂

Greg is adorable!!😂 she can’t even say no to him😂 it’s like saying no to a baby🤣👌

Say what you want about GREG . He won Adrienne's heart ❤ right there on the stage

6:53 "Where's the sheet n' the holes??" - omg exactly

I would love to see how these folks turned out.

I would love to see an update on these people.

I wonder if Greg "found himself" yet😂

Dang I feel so old lol, Ricki Lake was always my fave as well as Sally Raphael. Both legends ❤

I haven't seen Ricki Lake in many of moons. Used to watch this show all the time on cable TV 📺

i remember watching the Ricki show as a teenager and LOVING IT, it always had interesting topics….Looking back now at these episodes it seems like a completely different world. like the twilight zone how much as changed since then and how much has remained the same. No one could get away w/ saying this stuff on tv now, BUT trust and believe that doesn’t mean it isn’t still being said in private regularly to this day. i have black children, 18 and 13. We still have a long way to go. but they saw this and they were laughing thinking it was a skit or something like ain’t no way this was regular ass tv in the 90’s and they weren’t “cancelled”. 😂

I want an update on the black girl with the gay guy and how her sister told you so moment 😂😂😂!!! Pulleasseee😂😂😂

My goodness. I'm 34 and I wouldn't want to be a grandma at this age 😮

Greeeeegggggg! That walk had all the sauce it needed yes baby!

“You don’t look 35❕” 🫣😮‍💨🤭🤣

Ricki Lake, wow! This takes me back to high school. This has to be at least 30 years old.

Thank you for the “making the apple rot” comment.. her shirt was driving me INSANE the entire episode!!

The 90s was a time babbyyy! You hear me😂

As someone who's been in a interracial relationship for over 20yrs my opinion is: I can never familiarise myself with anyone other than my partner regardless of their complexion, it's about knowing little things such as the mole on their arm etc that's what love is, being familiar with who your partner is not their complexion.

That's the talk show brings me back to my elementary school memories ❤❤❤🩷💕🩷💕🩷💕🩷💕🩷💕❤️

"What do like about him" ? "Everything" "Everything" 😂

I can't imagine shunning my kids or the people they love based on race or nationality. ( I dated guy's from different backgrounds and never cared about what anyone else thought. ) Franklin is a handsome and seems like a very sweet man. I hope years later he and his wife are still together and happy.

My family is mixed race and multicultural and I love it. We’re all happy and successful and we have grand babies who are mixed race ☯️

OMG I remember this was one of my shows I watched back in the day growing up. It's so crazy to re-watch this and see how different things were back in the 90's compared today. Wow makes me feel old 🤣

Im watching this in 2024, wow!!!

The greatest challenge to interracial romances are friends and family to the two people dating. I've dealt with this exact problem in previous relationships.

Glad Ricki gave the 1 audience woman kudos for being both brave and honest

I have 2 bi-racial grandchildren and they are the most beautiful kids in the world ❤️ they are my heart ❤. I’ve always said I can’t wait until the whole world is mixed then what will we fight about. I had 23 and me DNA done and I’m 3 % Congo and I’m proud of that! Everyone should have it done and we’d realize that we are all connected!!!! Much love everyone ❤️

My husband is white, we've been married for 14 years.i have 2 black sons and we've been a wonderful family.

I can't believe I got sucked into watching this.😂

Greg is ZESSSSTYYYY

I feel these women's pain. I grew up in the 1990s in suburban Atlanta and everyone told me as black man I should not date or marry outside the black race. Even in college my black parents and my little brother told me not to date or marry outside the black race. Bottom line it is not just white people who forbids family to marry outside their race.

I agree with you u r right I suffered so much in a interracial marriage it's not only love it's everyone in the family ir community language barrier many factors

Does he cheat on you? "yeah" OMG, what I am watching?😂😂

I'm a young black man and content like this tickles me a lot 😂😅

The 90s press n curl! ❤🥰🥰🥰

Greg is the real Sheldon Copper 😂😂😂😂😂

“You raised her well” LMFAOO

“You don’t look 35.” 😂😂😂
