Ok so im sure youve gotten a lot of questions about relationships...but maybe not like this. ok, so i have a black boyfriend. i'm not black but im mixed and have been brought up into a white family so yeah.
Im pretty sure my moms boyfriend isnt racist but when i asked her if he could come over here, she said he'd throw a fit and that it was a completely different ballgame just because he is black. the way i see it, is boys no matter what skin color are all basically the same in general.
So ive already been to his house after convincing her i could and she said not to tell him about the whole situation. So yeah, my boyfriend and i are almost to a month and arent like in love yet but i mean we do like eahcother alot and i just dont know what to do. And eventually my moms boyfriend is gonna have to meet him. (link)
Hi,
that's a tough question. It's hard to say if someone is a racist or not without meeting them, but according to your question it seems that he may very well have a certain dislike for people who aren't white.
You should probably talk more to your mother about it and just ask her why he would have a problem with your boyfriend coming over. Also ask her if she is in agreement with his decision considering the fact that you are mixed.
I agree with you that everyone is the same no matter what color their skin is.
I don't know if you want to choose between your boyfriend and your family. YOu have to ask yourself if he is that important to you.
I hope this helped.
Good luck with your boyfriend and your family,
Ediemarie

Hey thanks for answering because as you can see this is a really tricky situation. So ok, i have talked to my mom even more recently and she said that when he goes hunting,that is when he could come over. but the bad thing is, her boyfriend is starting to become curious and ask questions about him. And another thing is that we might be going to homecoming together so yeah. I really dont wanna have to choose between him and my fmaily but it it did come down to that, id choose my family. I mean hopefully it wont get to be that serious of a problem but just saying.
