Normal that my family is keeping me away from my father & black ppl?

Well im a mixed race. My mother is caucasian and my father is african american. My parents divorced when i was really young. my mother and her family never wanted me to get to know my father. They said he was a dead beat dad, he was not to be trusted. Is this normal that they are keeping him away from me.

my mom made me go to a private school my whole life so i only knew a couple of black people. One day I realized my family disliked black people.when it was prom i was nominated for prom queen and so was this black guy who i liked. he asked me to prom and i told my mom and family about it and they disapproved. is this normal? do you think my family is racist against blacks? also do you think my family is trying to keep me away from african americans?

Is It Normal?

  • People are going to go crazy on the race issue but here are the facts. White people have "white trash" which they rightly ridicule. However, the black community has no sense of "black trash" as everything black must be cherished. This mean black criminals who hurt black people become "heroes". The end result is white people have no say in the matter and just accept being called "racists" when in reality, the problem is "nigger on nigger" violence.

    Race is not the problem. Criminal culture is.

  • If they were truly racist your mom wouldn't have married a black man and the minute you plopped out your mom's vaj she would have chucked you in a dumpster seeing as you're half black but technically you will be identified as black by other people no matter how "light skinned or fair haired " you are your family has been disappointed by your dead beat dad they are negatively associating all black men which is wrong hope they'll see the error of their ways

  • Your mom(yo mamma!) must think that your experience with him may turn out bad JUST because her's with your father was crap.

    She needs to let you live your own life and experience your own experiences.

  • Nothing you wrote is specific enough to prove that they are racist.

    They could be concerned about the reputation of the young man, not his skin color. They could also not want you to mix up with your father because he is not a good person, not because of the color of his skin. The fact that there are not many people in your private school that are African American also does not prove that they are trying to prevent you from associating with other black kids (most private schools are expensive and it's a sad fact that they have a dominant caucasian population).

    They love you and seem to care about you, so focus on that for now. Tell them how you feel, and not in an accusatory way because you could be wrong.

  • Wow this is such a hard question in that I know how you feel having a large family of many different nationalities in the mix. I agree with dannykanes in that something could have happened to your mothers family to make them think the way that they do and you should have a heart to heart with your mom about this. Please just think long and about you want to ask and then prepare yourself for the truth no matter how brutal, how ignorant, etc. You are going to see the world through their eyes and it may not be pretty. Any kind, shape, form of racism is never acceptable. It should not have a foot hold in this world but all to much it does along with prejudices. To many times it happens that people go through things and are heart by a person of another race and they say this will never happen again... So they lump every person of that race in with others that have hurt them. Or it could be taught just passed down from generation to generation. We can't blame Joe for what Harry or Linda has done(not real people just examples)... I encourage you talk to your family and always bare in mind that you can't change the world right away but you sure can talk out differences, help people gain new perspective, love those who hate sharing the message of love, and then my friend you will see the world changing one person at a time.
