Yes it is because you’re categorizing all black women on par with trailer trash and drug heads

Just an FYI....an interracial relationship is going to be a never ending battle for you. It'll be worse once you have kids. Do what makes you happy but just know you're always going to get those looks from people, comments, etc. from both sides.

I would think about what your kid would prefer. Would a kid prefer being a mixed blood? Having parents that don't quite look like them. Can't relate fully to the problems your kid will have growing up. Probably not accepted by any historical heritage group since it will be a mutt. Some of them look really weird. Some look fine. This could be a lot more headache for a kid than necessary.
Then there is the illness problems from having unique blood. If you need an organ or some such it is a lot harder to get a genetic match since you have a limited genetics pool.

Sounds like my parents although they'd never call one another. They'd just bitch about it to other family members

My question is if you've been dating her for this long, how the hell do you parents not know her already? Unless you never show her to your parents, which would be weird, shouldn't they know a ton about her anyway?
Regardless, you're a grown man (I'm assuiming). It's your life and you make your own choices, and your parents have to deal with the decisions you make for yourself. Do what makes you happy.

Honesty. Tell your parent's you love them and value the relationship you have them, but that you love your SO other as well. If they have a brain in their head, they will trust the job they did in raising you and believe you when you tell them that your SO is the one. I'm 55, probably close to your parents' ages, and if my kids came to me with that type of approach..... well, if I couldn't work with it, then the problem is clearly mine. Good luck with it.

I think he was serious baw. He started a thread, stated it ten times, and has participated for 12 pages. Since you asked him again, I have to ask. Did you think he was lying all those other times?

if this has truly been a long term relationship and your parents haven't met her, Just introduce her to them. They'll be happy she's female, because up until now, they thought you were lying about having a girlfriend and that you were probably gay.

I have a friend (cracker) married to a black woman and they went out to a black club when they were engaged. He had a suit on and the friends of hers that didn't know she was dating him kept asking him for drinks like he was the waiter

You can tell the ones that have not read much of the thread when they get this long.
Come on OP get it over with and tell your parents and drop back in to let us know how it went.
I am white and have 3 white boys and have told them on more than one occasion to pick someone that will love , respect and be good to my grand children regardless of color.

Come out and tell them you are gay. Then the next day call and tell them you are not, but you are marrying a black girl. They will turn somersaults.

Here's my advice.
Tell them you're gay.
Once the dust settles from that, tell them you were only kidding about the gay part, but that you're dating a black woman. Won't sting as bad then.

True. But, I reallt dont want there to be any conflict with this.
Dude, there's going to be conflict within your life regarding this situation as long as you're in it.
You can explain it to your parents just like you did in your OP. It's up to them to accept/reject it. Unless they're idiots, they may not like it initially, but will learn to love her. If they don't, that's a price that you will have to pay. Even if it's unwarranted.
There is always a cost of being outside the "norm." You have to decide are the conflicts worth it. Because there WILL be conflicts. Surely you've experienced some of them by now.

Sure as hell not gonna read 13 pages, but it's your life. Be with who you want. Either your parents will accept it or they won't. To me, it seems like a pretty silly thing to get hung up on (on their part), especially if she's a good person.
