So in april i met my current man, hes black im white. and my dad jus happens to be racist. my mom knows about my boyfriend and i know she would like him if she met him..my dad jus doesnt open up to anything really and one day when i tell him or he finds out its going to tear the family apart. We already dont talk, and he knows i dont like him. The only reason i stay here is for my mom, plus im underage. I am in love with my boyfriend and there isnt really anything i can do at this point. i feel lost. Help?

Sometimes it's hard to ignore little comments especially if their from your own parents.
Since your underage, unfortunately they can stop you to an extent from seeing him. I would sit them both down and explain to them everything. Before you do this, you could invite him over for dinner and tell them he's a friend until they open up more.
If they still don't like him, that's when I would tell them that you're dating. Sometimes you think that the news you have, will most likely make your parents go off, but sometimes it's the opposite.
