What's race got to do with love?

Question

Mom says interracial couples are a crime against nature and she's making my life hell.Have you ever heard of such bullshit? **** her and her racist jokes and curses.Just because I'm under age .it doesn't mean that she has the right to stand between me and the love of my life

Answer 1

You're absolutely right...don't let your mother's retarded way of thinking or ideas get to you. She's an idiot....sorry, but it's true. Love has no color

Answer 2

Well, sorry to say your may may be a racist, I'm sorry. Race only impacts love by culture. If two people have different cultures, no matter the race of the people, that can be hard. Where you are wrong is that if you are under age, your Mom does have the right to effect what you do and who you see even though she may be wrong with the reasons.

At the very least this can have some positive effects. First it is a lesson we all learn. Our parents are far from perfect. They are human and are apt to be imperfect just like the rest of us.

Second, the impact of your Mom being a racist will have a good impact on you. You will know what you never want to be like! You will live a better life and effect others in the same way.

Answer 3

She Does have the right
to stand between You and "the love of Your life"
If The "Love Of Your Life" Is An ILLEGAL ALIEN
And If He's Committing Statutory Rape



Grow Up, Girlie

Pay Attention In School And Listen To Your Mom

She's Not Doing This To Hurt You
She Has Your Best Interest At Heart

And Even Though You Dont Agree With Her
She's Doing The Right Thing

Answer 4

Your mother should take a more responsible stand, and except the fact that you have found a friend of another racial culture. The jokes, and curses don't help matters at all. That is something you would expect in the 40's, and 50's.
As far as the love of your life, slow down girl. You haven't said how UNDER AGE you are, but the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE MAY LOOK LIKE THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE TODAY, but what about tomorrow, when you are pregnant, and unable to reach your dreams because now you have a child to take care of?

Answer 5

Darling you are so young. I mean come on marries and has babies at 17? Trailer trash is who. Your mother has dreams and aspirations for you. I am sure your interracial stud, is your first man. Why not grow up go to College, date a football player at USC? Or become a Show Girl In Las Vegas, A Model, A Actress, then all men will crave you and adore you with bling. Baby cakes your mama is right,

Answer 6

Race has nothing to do with love. Don't let how other people feel affect your actions. So your mom is ignorant. So are other people. Whatever. I understand your issue being underage but you'll have to tough that out. Sorry that you are having such a tough time. Try to educate and let time prove itself.

Good luck.

Answer 7

To the two people in love, race has nothing to do with it.
To closed minded and bigoted people it is a negative amalgamation. You can’t change or explain their way of thinking.
You can not determine you will garner your attraction. You like who you like. Just be prepared for the repercussion, because that union deviates from the social norm of your culture.
It is unfortunate, for whatever reason, your mother does not agree with your choice in a mate. Is it solely because of race or does your age factor into her reactions. She may be more concerned that her little girl is falling in love. Your mom in her excitement may have been overzealous with her comments. I am in no way condoning her racial epithets (or those of the answers you’ve already received), but she may not know how to express her displeasure in your choice of a mate. Is he typical of the type of guys you date? Does he have any personality traits or characteristics that she totally abhors? As a parent she wants the best for child, so remember that when she goes into her next tirade. She means well.

Now if she’s just a total racist and bigot, there is no way to explain her ignorance (no disrespect intended). She has her views and I really doubt you can change her racist beliefs. Honor, love, and respect your mom. However, if you disagree with her values that may be a good thing for you. That means your kids will have a more open view of society, not to mention that [your mom’s] family trait will not be passed on.

Good luck!

Answer 8

Race doesn't make a difference when it comes to love. The only reason that interracial couples have a hard is because of people like your mother. You should tell her that it is actually very natural for people of different races to date and marry each other, it's happened throughout history for a reason.

Answer 9

Interracial dating is not a crime against nature. You should be able to date whoever you want not based on their race or works. It would be different if your significant other was hurting you or cheating on you or something, but race should have nothing to do with it.

Answer 10

It's got nothing to do with it all,no matter what your race is opposites do fall in love,and have very happy relationships or marriage,but maybe your poor mum is just worried because you are under age,and as you are I'm sorry to say that she does have her right to interfere,so why not just cool things down a bit until you are old enough

Answer 11

Hi.sorry you are going through this.I know what you are going through,I understand I have a daughter that is married to a Africa American and it took me a long time to except it but I could not change it so I had to except it. I have 3 beautiful grandchildren that are mixed pretty est kids you ever seen.I don't try to encourage interracial relationships.don't get me wrong.but I don't panic over them either.you know it is the eye that sees color not the heart.so all I can say is I hope everything works out for you and your mom trys to understand.good luck.
