 My dad is racist and...
... Im kinda seeing this guy and he is black. My dad still lives in the 1950's where he thinks its right that he can verbally attack black people. It really annoys me, not just because now im falling for this guy but I have done for a while and its only recently that Ive been fighting back. He is not a stupid guy so I know he knows that something else is influencing my reactions.
I really dont think that he relises what he is saying though sometimes. Its so nasty some of the things that he says. I dont understand how someone can be so against someone for something that they cant controll. We are all the same people. It just makes me angry just thinking about some of the things he says.
I supose my real question is what am I meant to do? Im 18 I am able to make my own decisions however, im still living at home untill I go to Uni next year. I want to change his mind but i really dont think I can. And Luke is a really nice guy he makes me laugh and its nothing serious defo not but its at that stage where everything is nice and I want to be able to share my happiness with my parents becuase I know they want to see me happy but my dad wont see it like that.
His views of people are so nasty and I really do hate it, I cant stress that enough. I wouldnt care if I didnt love my dad but even though he has so many faults, dont we all I love him becuase he is my dad. He isnt perfect but oh well. But this one issue makes me mad to think that people after 100's of years of hurt can still have views that are now seen as barbaric. He votes for BNP for christ sake. I really want to change his mind, I dont think he relises what he is doing when he says some things. Should I just let him get on with it let him meet Luke then make time change his mind.
Ive told Luke this and I couldn't look at his face becuase the tone of his voice said everything when I told him. My gosh it was like a kicked him in the balls. I cant even imagin the thoughts that were going through his mind. "My dads racist. but i really like you." What a line you want to hear. I dont think I should have said anything. Ekk.

My mom is biased against white people. Lo and behold I started to date a white guy. My brother started dating a white girl. It's so funny that it happened because she actually didn't change her mind until my niece was born. She is mixed and so is my son who was born a year later. You can't change his mind about how he feels. However, you can tell him that the things he says hurts you. Don't attack him but just tell him, "Dad sometimes the things you say about black people really hurts my feelings." If that doesn't work, I recommend keeping the new boyfriend away from family gatherings.
