So, I'm talking to this guy & he's black. He's honestly the sweetest guy I have ever met. I know that if we were together, he will never hurt me. Doesn't do drugs, smoke, drink, etc. He's really polite and knows how to actually treat a girl. But the thing is, my parents despise black people. Especially my dad. He talks so much mess about them, saying a whole bunch of racist things & it reeeaally annoys me. I see nothing wrong with black people, they're human beings just like us. My parents say they don't want me to ever have a black boyfriend, which drives me crazy because I really like this guy and I want to be with him. I don't want to date this guy behind their back because I've learned my lesson about that from my previous relationship. They lost their trust in me and now, they're on my *** whenever I go out. (GPS on my phone, calling me, texting me) it's ridiculous! So if I do end up with this guy, I don't want to keep it a secret. But the thing is, I think I'm gonna have to go behind their backs to see him because I know for a fact they're not gonna accept him because he's black. I don't even think they'll give him a chance. I don't know what do. I know I can't change their minds but I reaally want to be with this guy. He makes me so happy. We're talking about getting together, so we're getting pretty serious. How can I talk to my parents about it? I'm gonna tell my mom first because she's more understanding and she'll listen to me more than my dad will. I have no idea how they'll react & I'm scared they're gonna make me not see him anymore. WHAT DO I DO? HELP.
