Black men are treated as a monolith. If one black man did them wrong then it's "black men ain't shyt" and they swirl, but if a black woman has done a black man wrong and he swirls then it's "not all black women are like that". They say it's never about color when they swirl, yet they go straight to the cac 99% of the time. That's because cac is the only race that can guarantee them the child they've always envisioned, any other race will just produce a version that looks like them with a few different features.

Black men do the same though, generalising black women at every opportunity while either playing the victim or using the classic not all black men whenever a black woman discuses her experience with black men.

At this point the black gender war is just two homeless people calling each other broke, the complete lack of self-awareness is just astounding.

Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas and Matthew Lawrence are in an interracial relationship, but that fact is a non-factor for the couple.

"If people of different races hadn't gotten together, I wouldn't be here — that's how I see it," Chilli, 52, who is Black with Bangladeshi roots on her father's side, tells PEOPLE. While Lawrence, 43, is white, "we are American," she says. Asked if they've ever discussed race she says, "No... we have so much in common."

For starters, they're both very family-oriented. "I love how close he is to his family. He was very close to his grandmother," says Chilli, whose own grandma helped raise her. "It's something about when a grandparent had a hand in raising you. You are different. They instill things in you that Mom and Dad can't."

Their moms became fast friends as well. "They talk on the phone now," says Chilli of her mother Ava and his mother Donna. "Matthew and I are both like, 'Boy when they get together, we're going to have to have security 'cause they're going to be out of control.' They’re foxy hot girls."

Another area of common ground for the couple is faith. Once, early on, "It was the Sabbath and I said 'I'm gonna pray — do you want me to pray for you?' And I was so nervous because if he came back with he's not religious or this or that, I was gonna cut him off," she recalls. Instead, she says, "He gave me a little list of things to pray for. I was like, 'Thank you Lord!'"

Chilli. Dayo x Chilli

And this isn't the first time she's dated outside of her race. "I had a white boyfriend in high school," says Chilli, "an Indian one, too. No big deal."

What is a big deal is how well things are going with Lawrence."When you're seasoned, like we both are, it doesn’t take that long to figure out a person. We want to protect [our love], nurture it and grow it."

For more on Chilli’s TLC journey and happy life now, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands everywhere Friday.

TLC Forever airs June 3 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime.

Makes sense. Reminds me of those people who ask “but what do a 40 year old and 20 year even talk about”

Like most people, they ain’t talking bout shyt. What went on today with them. What’s on tv. What’s for dinner. Frivolous bullshyt convos. People ain’t discussing these deep rooted convos 90% of the time with their partner

Nice try but you're wrong. BM don't play victims, we are victims. We're not allowed to speak unless we agree with whatever bullshyt gets thrown at us. Just look at at the constant bashing BM get on a daily basis, and whenever we "need to have a conversation" in the black community it's always about what us BM are doing wrong.

You have proof of that? If true, it's not a good thing and acting like it is, is pretty terrible.
