Hey everyone! I went to a karaoke bar with my family after thanksgiving and I met this really cute and kind boy there. We talked and then he asked for my number. I told my mom and my brother that I was gonna ho out with him and they are doing everything they can not to let me go just because he is a POC. This breaks my heart and I don’t know how to react since I quite like him.

Wow. That’s very racist of them.

If your family is racist it's time to set boundaries and not tell them about your personal life. Keep it private. You should still go out with him and tell them you're doing something else.

Personally I think you should stand up to them because they’re being racist. You’re not their property there is no such thing as them “not letting you go”.

I stood up to them and said I was still going out because I’m not racist like them and they started slut shamming me and that I was gonna get raped. I think it’s best to start saying that I’m gonna be hanging out with friends instead of opening up about this

Your parents sound toxic.

That’s honestly just so sad, that they’re basically labeling him because of his skin color… but I’m kinda glad to see you’re not letting that get to you & you’re still deciding what YOU wanna do. Gotta give you props for that 🫰🏾

Wow. I’m so sorry you have family that had those types of reactions to your choices. I’m proud of you for standing up for yourself. I hope you have a great time with him.

@Leolea they are awful people, I hope you can move out sooner rather than later. You should be proud for having the courage to stand up for yourself and others!! I hope you have a great time with him xx
