Okay I really like this girl and she likes me, but one problem.

[Rolling Thunder99]

She is Black, and my family is pretty racist calling them monkeys, and other horrible things. How should I deal with it? I surely would be shunned if I go out with her.:confused:

Oh BTW I am white.

[Lost in the Echo]

That's horrible, a racist is a terrible thing to be.

Don't care about what they say, she's a human being, not a "monkey".
If you really do like her, then ask her out.
If your family loves you enough, then they will support you wanting to be with this girl.
Do whatever makes you happy, it's your life, not theirs.

Well love is love! If she likes you a lot too, then together both of you can face your family for a while. It's just a huge obstacle course that you and her will go through that if you both stay together, will both make you stronger in the end! But if it gets too much, then you need to talk to your family telling them that you actually really like this girl, and they should treat her like any other white person they treat!

We're in 2013, are you serious? Tell your parents to get out of the Stone Age and get over themselves.

And just a note, arent black and white skin pigmentations, not races?

[Synyster Shadows]

If you two like each other, to hell with what your famiily thinks. Like it has been said, it's your life, not theirs. Go for it.

[JustinPCGamer]

Racist, really? Go out with her.

[somegirl]

I wouldn't let your parents get in the way. Not sure how old you are but depending on your age, they could prevent you from seeing here until you are 18.

[PinkFloyd]

I don't know your family. I don't know how they'll react to this. But; You need to have a serious conversation with your family. You need to tell them that she is a human being and that the color of her skin means absolutely NOTHING. Ask them why they care so much about racial characteristics. ABove all, you need to warn this girl about your family.

My family made fun of me for liking a black girl dating i had Chocolate Fever. It gets

And people say our generation isn't post-racist?

Good for you! The heart wants what the heart wants.

So, I say, eff them! Tell them to get out of the 19th Century and join the modern world.

And be prepared to be shunned. But love is... patient, kind, etc...

[Kriss41]

If you like her, prepare to be shunned.
My boyfriend is native american, and my great grandparents hate anyone with so much as a tint of color on their skin. So they don't like him, even though if he's not tan he's whiter than an Irish person.
If you love someone, you're willing to prove it. Don't worry about the color of her skin or what your family says. Instead, think of her and yourself. I think if you do, you'll find what's more important- being like your rasist family or loving a girl, no matter her skin color.

Your parents aren't going to make the relationship any easier, but the sound of it, but which relationship didn't face hurdles? My parents kind of faced a similar thing when they first got together - my dad's parents would say crude, racist comments about my mum and her family, but never while she was around. In the end they got used to the situation and accepted it and the fact of her race wasn't an issue any more, but it would have taken time, I guess.
