My child is half mexican and half black. His grandparents told his father that they did not want a black child to carry their Montez name and the rest of the family would not accept him. So he moved back to Houston saying he would not be accepted in the hispanic community in Houston or his family and it was best if we stayed in another state. Of course he moved back with his family to Houston . Am I the only one who think this is bull, Are the Mexican families in Houston or other areas really like that? Is there soneone going through something similar?

Yes, this is bull. Not all Mexican families are like this, but it is not just Mexican families that behave in this manner. What is really bull is that the father of this child has abandoned him. There is no excuse for this. This is not a man you want in your or your child's life. He is not standing up for his child or his relationship with you. It is better that he is in Houston where he can live in a cloud and allow you and your child to spread your wings elsewhere.

I was watching Tyra the other day, and they had different women of culture on there and each one was explaining about their thoughts on women of another culture:
For instance the woman of color was giving her thoughts on the white woman, the Asian woman, etc.. Sadly, it was an equal consensus through all of the panel guests that when you are of a mixed race (regardless) and your skin happens to be darker then what is socially acceptable, that you tend to not only get rejected by your own race, but by other races as well.
My nieces are mixed (black and white) one niece is very dark brown- with ethnic hair, and the other is very light skinned with fine hair - and I can HONESTLY say that in public, the lighter skinned girl gets all of the attention, although to me the darker skinned girl has all of the personality...
It's bad enough that your child will be exposed to experience racism from strangers, but when his own family doesn't want to accept your child because of the color of his skin, or his African American heritage -
I'm sure that this will ruffle some feathers, but I have always thought that Mexicans, were very racist, even quick to separate themselves from Spainish (spain)- or Cuban, or Philipino... there is nothing wrong with beign proud of your heritage, until you hurt a childs feelings for having different heritages...

Not many Blacks live in Mexico. They were probably all chased away, or more to the point, the Mexicans themselves were the slaves, so no one saw any need to import Africans. They paid a huge price not to have to live amongst Blacks, and were thus thankfully spared the horrible social disorder that we have over Black/ and White. Then they come to America and there it is.
If you really want to try, you can probably win them over somewhat, but don't ever expect them to treat you like they are colorblind. They probably have enough problems not to deserve having you thrown into the mix as well. How I'd see it anyway.

they are ignorant. Afro-Mexicans do exist.
i do spend time in the Houston area and have not encountered any situations like that.
All that it counts that theres love between you, your significant of other and your child. Don't worry about the rest of the world.

No not every Mexican family is that way. And just by saying that only shows how ignorant you are yourself. By having a child outside your ethnic background whether its white/hispanic/black/asian will always cause problems at least with one or more people in your family. Remember that's their problem not yours. Love your family! that's all I can say.

Don't generalize all Mexican people, just because your husband's family does not want to accept your child.

Any thinking adult that does not love a grandchild unconditionally, their own flesh and blood, has problems deeper than racial issues.
Bless the innocent child. Forget these people. Move Forward and hold your head high...

I have never seen this, and I know a bunch of blaxicans. Some people are just idiots, to deny their own blood... get him for all you can in child support.
