Question Posted Saturday September 27 2008, 5:18 pm
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.

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,
