Father's Racist Letter

If it wasn't why would she put up the letter

 

So being disowned by your parents is no big deal? Got it. Tells me a lot about how some of you think about your parents.

Just because it doesn't happen in your world doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

 

What I'm saying is if they're willing to disown their child over who they date they didn't value the relationship to begin with.

I have a great relationship with my family and anything short of a horrific crime they wouldn't disown me. They actually love me and want me around.
Would you ever disown your son?

 

Also here's an excerpt from the article......

Stephanie's boyfriend later added a post on his Twitter account, reading: 'My girl's dad wrote that letter and once I read it I felt as though the mature thing to do was to end the relationship, I'm not about to see my girl homeless.'

But he said that Stephanie didn't want to split and instead told her parents they had broken up, but when the post of her letter went viral her family realised they were still together.

It is not known whether her father followed through with his threat.


Messages of support for the pair have flooded in on Twitter.

_--------------------------

So it did bother her. Did you read? Hell I didn't have to read it to know she was upset over it.

 

That's not the point. The point is she was catching hell from her patents. She was getting grief from her parents. Do u get that?

 

Again so the fuck what. If this is what it takes for them to give her hell they don't care too much about her. It's like dealing with an abusive spouse theyll be your ass over anything tonight it just so happened to be dishes left in the sink. Would you say don't ever leave dishes in the sink again or realize you may need to get away from this crazy person. The dishes didn't cause a thing that person is just unstable.

 

TDK, some folks are just very entrenched in their beliefs. My parents do not get it. The believe white should be with white, black with black, etc. To them, this is like a dog mating with a cat. Unnatural. Wrong. So it embarrasses them. They take it as an affront to the way they raised me. That doesn't mean they don't love me. It would be the same if I were gay. Some folks will take it far enough to cut off their kids because they just simply can't support them. Does not mean they don't love them.

To their credit, my parents have come a long way. I asked my mom last week if she and my dad would be truly disappointed if I married outside my race. To my surprise, she said no. Actually, I'm not that surprised, because I do believe their love for me would trump their hesitation as long as I was with a man who truly loved me.

But my gf's father wouldn't be so understanding. He would cut off communication with her.

 

So if her parents value her that little, that they'll disown her because she's dating someone with a darker skin tone, that's a relationship she should compromise her morals and beliefs for?? I'm like a five year old girl when I'm around my father and/or step father...true daddy's girl in every sense of the phrase and you know why?? Because they've loved me through thick and thin. They've stood by me when I've messed up and they've been by my side for every accomplishment. They would NEVER treat me as anything less than their little girl. They've accepted and welcomed my boyfriends and never gave a thought to the color of their skin. THAT is a relationship worth fighting for. Sharing DNA doesn't make you a parent, your day in and day out support and actions makes you a parent. This father is showing his true colors, it would benefit her to remove that cancer from her life imo.

 

Look I'm Jamaican I think the only people who beat us on the homophobic scale are hardcore Middle Eastern Muslims they behead gays there in Jamaica they stone them.
My uncle has twin daughters who are both gay and were very scared to tell. All the cousins knew but we didn't dare tell theolder generation. They came out last Christmas and to my surprise no one batted an eye. Know why? Because we fucking love each other. So screw all that culture excuses. People who love you simply won't disown you.

 

Again is she stressed about it?

Are they giving her a hard time about her dating a bm?

Did you read the article? Did you read the excerpt from the article I posted?

 

Man love Thursday.....

 

I'm not here to talk bad about your parents, but it sounds like they have no interest in broadening their horizons. I get that folks can get stuck in their ways, but I don't think it's an excuse for this or any type of intolerance. It sounds like no matter what they'll hold on to whites belong with whites, and black belong with blacks.

My g/f's dad passed away a few years before we met. She was telling me how he didn't want them dating black guys when they were teens, but in his later years. He became very close to the neighbor (a black family), and he let those old feelings go. She said that her dad's postion evolved into... "As long as the guy treats you well, and you're happy... He'd happily accept them. I think it's a good example that we're never too old to learn (and evolve).

I've only had to deal with one racist cousin in my family so far. He thinks I'm a sellout, and he refuses to see that he's a racist. My feeling is... If he can't deal... screw him. This is my life.

 

And trust me your cousin will get over it. The interesting about this day and age which is sometimes just as bad as it is good is that no one is that married to a belief anymore. Trust me they all usually just go with the trend.

 

Here's the question. Is it or is it not something tough for the woman to be disowned by the family for dating a bm?

 

Oh, I'm sure it's tough, hurtful and so on. I'm sure some bow to the pressure from family, and that too is sad.

 

But that's the thing him being black isn't really the issue here
