How long have you been together?

You are considering marrying this broad but she has yet to meet anyone in your family?

How do you and your parents feel about Kwanzaa and Juneteenth?

Went to the park and saw goose on one side of the pond and ducks on the other.
In 20-fricking-18. Can you believe it? Those fricking bigots.

Call and tell them you're coming over for a family movie night. Rent "Guess Who" and get there before them, have your GF wait in another room. Sit down and watch the movie with them, when you get to the part where Bernie Mac realizes his daughter is dating a white guy, say "OMG mom and dad could you imagine if I brought home a black girl OMG that would be so funny Haha lol Haha omg so funny" (using basic bama language so they follow)

"No really I am dating a black chick and shes right behind you." At this point have her jump out and tell Hi Mom and Dad!

90% chance they have heart attacks and you get an early inheritance and don't have to worry what they think.
On the 10% chance they survive, report back here. The following story should entertain us

Tell them before they meet, don't let it be a surprise. And tell them if they make a stink you're outta there.

People need to get over it, I'm white , my wife is Hispanic, my brother is white, his wife is third generation Chinese American.

And here's the thing about grandparents, they'll be fine with her once she gives them a grandbaby

I have no advice on how to handle your situation with your parents. But I have one question..How are you treated in public..Do you notice stares? Do you feel mistreatment from others (White or Black)?
The only reason I ask is because I had a friend who dated a Black woman and he complained about this...but it was a few years ago...maybe 30 years ago.

While they do not have a problem with black folks they certainly think interracial relationships are very wrong. I've heard my whole life say mixing races is wrong.


SPOILER ALERT: They have a problem with black folks.

I know that when I tell them that their future daughter-in-law is black they are going to shite a brick. It's going to cause a strain in my relationship with them and could also strain my relationship with my girl.



How have you hidden what your girlfriend looks like in this day and age? My parents are 60, so I don't buy this bullshite. They should have found out months ago.

My stepdad is very racist and his daughter turns out to love the BBC and has 2 mixed kids. He won't have anything to do with them. She will show up for a while at Thanksgiving with them but never stays long because it's very uncomfortable. Last year my aunt accidentally let the N-word fly while talking about Obama in front of the oldest child(who is now 13). Things got kind of quiet for a while.

I know it's a long story, but something the OP should be ready for in the future.

It's like the reverse of that movie Guess Who, but replace Bernie Mac with Archie Bunker.

That's what I was thinking. The only thing I know about this situation is that hilarity is going to ensue and everyone is going to learn a valuable lesson about how we're not that different after all.

No. Ive justified it by telling myself they haven't asked. Honestly, Ive just been putting it off cause I dont want the conflict


You're probably going to want to give them a heads up before you show up for Thanksgiving if you decide to go that route. Take any blatant unnecessary awkward moments out of the equation.

They have no social media presence whatsoever? They haven't asked for a picture of her? No friends of friends around you? Please, most of us here have parents your age, and we know that they have the means to find out who she is. You're acting as if your parents are 85.

Just post a picture of you two on social media. They will figure it out and let them be the ones to address it if they choose to.

Only question you have to ask is whether the woman is worth losing your family over.
