Love is color blind. I no longer listen to others and their opinions, if I did, I'd be very screwed up. Maybe it's time you and your mate leave, and start a life elsewhere. Don't let them be a divisive tool in your life.

I know that i will most likely get thumbs down for this but here is the truth. Your parents are right. You are stepping into a lot of trouble. If you marry this man you will be a outcast I am sure that somewhere along the way your parents will accept him but then again they may never. You won't be accepted by the blacks either. You will be neither here nor there' you will always feel unaccepted. I understand what your parents are trying to do because i have been there and lived it. It's bad when you feel like you don't belong any where. That's where you are headed. In the end it's YOUR decision and your life. You have to live it.

And people say race doensn't matter anymore. A lot of white parents have a problem with there little girl dating a black man, unless he has a small fortune. I don't know if there is anything you can do. You can't change peoples opinions. If the guy is educated, has a good job, nice and they STILL won't accept him, I am not sure what you can do about that. This is definantely a test, and it will make or break your relationship. Good Luck.

Well, I assume you are not dependent on your parents at age 27. If you are not, it is simply a matter of deciding who is more worthy of your loyalty-your parents or your boyfriend. You cannot change the way your parents think or their beliefs. You only have the power to make your own decisions. As I see it, it's up to you to simply make a decision and to live with it. It won't necessarily be an easy decision, but you will probably just have to choose, because you or your boyfriend will not likely gain your parents acceptance anytime soon, if at all.

I'm from new york and I knw what you mean because us Morenos love us some Dominican women but their parents forbid any race mixing. anyhow you are old enough to make your own decisions and live the life you want. I know you want your parents blessing but in the grand scheme of life that doesn't matter. As long as you have God's blessing you're going to be OK. If you marry him and he treats you right they will be proved wrong and you'll be happy. What will happen if you let this good man go for them. They're already married they cant help you.

If your parents have not accepted your boyfriend after a year of dating, chances are they might not ever accept him. If you love him, tell your parents that you want them to accept him, but if not, you are just not going to come around and let them get you all stressed out. Follow your heart. Your parents are being very unfair in this situation because they are making you choose between them and your boyfriend and that is a sad thing. Good luck. Stay strong. You deserve to be happy....

Follow your heart. If you love this man, he is good to you, and is everything your parents would want in a "white" future husband for you, they should have no complaints. They will either come around or they won't. Don't stress out about it, if you are happy in your relationship with your boyfriend, let your family do all the stressing. You can't force them to accept him, so let them stress about it. They will eventually realize what is important. Tell Sweetie to stop working so hard to be accepted, if they can't accept him the way he is, it's their loss. Build a life for YOU, not for your family.

First off ,if you are 27 any woman that old should know by now they don't dates outside their race and the ones that do are either looking for or want the attention that they receive when they are with their black partner ,in this case... its not cool.. your parents are right they know the out come,They love you and want to look out for you regardless of your age... mixed mar rages just don't work. many have tired and failed you will just become another statistic with 2 or 3 black children to care for ... go to your local super market walk around and see what your life will look like.. You will find welfare mother's that thought just like you do now .. they were beautiful just like you, and had dreams of wedded bliss just like you.. your parents will be ashamed to be seen with you, you will be shunned by your friends and family.. I'm sure your boy friend is a nice guy ,but his family feels the same as your mother and father.. don't want their son to be married outside his race either .. both of you will be doomed from the start .. good luck with what ever you decide you are going to need it...

Look to God for your answer. God's Holy Word should help you with what is right and wrong. I do not know if it's right or wrong to date another race besides your own or not bibical wise but it's in there. I don't know what to say. I kno w how I feel but that's not the point. Some parents can't be happy no matter who you pick.... I got lucky my family loved my boyfriends but especially my husband when I brought him around. In fact I think they like him sometimes better than me hahaha... Not really but they do treat him well.... I don't know the best source is the bible

If you care for him you will fight for him. Your parents shouldn't care about his skin color because it's not on the outside that matters; it's what's on the inside. If they don't like him tough luck. Tell them to get over it. You are 27 meaning you are capable of making your own decisions. Your decision and your future. Don't let them or anybody else get you stressed. And when they ask you are you going to break up with him say no and walk away. You don't owe them an explanation because you're grown. They should be happy that he makes you happy.
