Do you have any racist family members?

Yes. I was told I would be disowned when my mother found out I had a black boyfriend and that my grandfather would never speak to me again (this was her way to scare me)
I also was told I could go to my best friends goodbye sleepover as she was moving to another country. A few days before I decided I should simply tell her my best friend was black. .because she surely would not have an issue with a black friend who was a girl...I was wrong. I was forbidden to go. I never spoke to my best friend again. Her father was in the military...this did not seem to matter much to my mom they were black.
As a small child my mom and her best friend used to tease me about having "little n****r boyfriends to which I would plead no and sometimes cried about it...they thought it was funny.
What I am most glad about is that I was able to see that what they were doing and saying was wrong. I had enough of a mind of my own and was taught properly in school ...I am grateful for this.

I'm so sorry! I'm glad you are open minded! What a horrible thing to have to hear from a loved one ugh. The worse part is, you can't escape it! @JaggedLittlePill

@xRockGlossPrincessx My mother has come a very long way over the years. She became close with a few ladies she worked with and this really opened her views far more..but before that, my senior year of highschool she did help me and my first love with plane tickets issues as I was going to be flying to utah where he now lived, to visit. He was black and I hid that I had bought a plane ticket. He lost his wallet and his ticket and I took the chance and told her and she ended uo helping him get a new one for very cheap and actually had a conversation with him and met him before we left. This was a huge thing for my mom and I...so I can say people are capable of changing their views...they just have to want to.
