Definitally tell your mom that you have been with someone of diffrent race. If you really care about him then it doesnt matter what color, height, weight, or anything he is or may not be! Be truthful..and if they are going to be all racist on you be sure to speak your mind and tell them hes not like that and you really care about him! Get to know him before judging him!

Let your family know you truly care for this guy... and that if they cant accept that fact that hes black then they must not care about you enough. best wishes
good luck

you should talk to your parents about it and tell them that this guy is really a great guy and not involved in any drugs or anything, so i would hope, and maybe have yor family meet this guy so they can see for them selves. Tell them that you really care for this person and that they would be doing YOU this great favor by just giving this guy a chance.

hey, i have had this same problem. talk to your parents bout this situation and try to convince them that he is a good guy and he isnt like that one who was brought into ya family. If they dont approve ask ya self if ya family is worth giving up and not havin them approve of what u do. and if they approve go for it, but think long and hard if they dont.. just go with what ya heart tells u to do. hope i helped

oh man, if you really do love your boyfriend, try telling your parents that. I can't control what they say, but tell them he's a good person and do the best you can.

They're not racist, but they don't approve of interracial dating? Sounds pretty racist to me.

ohh my!! i can relate to this question sooo good. well i have a boyfriend, and he's also black. my dad had a problem with it. so i had my b/f and my dad meet... and my dad thought he was actually a pretty nice kid... don't let ur family get involved with who u date because it's how u feel that really matters... and yes, to a white family... sometimes a black man is treated bad... considering they think he's involved with drugs or just there to use u. but its not true! talk to your parents about how u feel. race shouldnt matter!! good luck!!!!!

i'm NOT racist or anything but i mean some things in life just aren't fair. our parents grew up in a generation where it wasn't right for different races to marry and stuff. i think my parents would be the same way about something like that. you should respect there decision, but they should also respect yours. if you really love him they should look past his color & let you continue the relationship. hope things work out <3...

First ask your family if you can invite your boyfriend over for a nice sitdown family dinner, then tell them exactly how you feel about your boyfriend and that you'd love it if your family would support you with this decision, then tell them that he's black. Watch their reactions, hopefully they'll be okay with it, just make sure that you and ur boyfriend are on your best behavior!! (and have him dress nice, extra points if he brings ur family flowers or something, it'll help score points with ur parents) hopefully everything works out!!

Clairabelle answered Sunday August 29 2004, 5:51 pm:
Before you introduce him, tell them that he is black. That way they won't be shocked when they first meet him. Tell them about his good qualities. Tell them if he's a good student, what sports he plays, what clubs he's in, etc. Tell them that you really like him and that you don't have a problem with him being black, and you hope that they don't either. Ask them if they have a problem with your relationship, and if they do, don't introduce them. Tell them that what really counts is that you care for each other, and it doesn't matter what you look like.

it`s only a color.. if u really like him thats all that matters .. parents usually teach their kids to grow up not judging ppl by how they look.. after all its only a skin color it doesnt affect the person within.. and wow ur question sounds like my life ahah.. but yeaa parents told me not to judge a book by its cover so dont judge a person by the skin color.. need i say more? if u love him or like him then dont listent to ppl its ur life do what u want with it. were all human beings
