None of you pissed me off last night any more than usual.
Again, if anyone cares.. Some of you know about this boy- I'm calling him Red- who I have loved for three years. He's handsome, intelligent, sweet and loyal. He is an aspiring writer. He is tolerant, willing to learn, motivated.. He respects himself and those around him, so while he won't be senselessly rude to anyone, he won't tolerate if anyone is to him. He has a beautiful f---ing smile and he's asked me out on a few occasions.
Now, a while ago, I complained that there is this perfect boy who I love that loves me as well but that my mom doesn't like for some reason, so I couldn't date him. That reason is because I'm white, and he's black. My mom says she has some grand reason as to why she's against biracial relationships, that she's just trying to spare me whatever she went through to come to the conclusion that racism was alright. I've told her how much I love him. I told her that he likes me back, and I've told her this twice now, but she won't let go of her stupid beliefs and let me date him.
I got over that when I realized I couldn't change her mind. I told him hat I really liked him, but that my mom was against it, so I couldn't, and he accepted that. I let it go after that. It's just another testament to the character of the people around me.
Yesterday, my mom had some friends over. One spent the whole day making incredibly racist and sexist remarks and being generally drunk and unpleasant. I was irritated, so while they were all out back, I stayed inside to calm myself down for a little while. I rejoined them outside, and within five minutes, the conversation they were having turned to my sisters or I dating black men.
The sexist said to Angel, "You wouldn't want your sister dating a black guy, would you?"
Angel said, "I don't really care as long as he respects her and doesn't hurt her."
The sexist and my mom answered in stereo, "I would."
I got pissed and made that post last night, then sat around in the front yard until I was done being upset again. I started cleaning the kitchen to distract me and to keep them from trying to make conversation. Maybe her friends don't know, but my mom had to know what she was doing. IT's one thing to keep me out of a potentially perfect relationship because of her own personal beliefs. She had to go ahead and rub it in when she got the chance and later couldn't seem to understand why I was so angry.
And that, if anyone cares, is why I was pissed and crying like and idiot yesterday. Thank you for your time. -
I'm so sorry about that..
-
Oh.. I'm so sorry, Maru. I'm not sure if you want comfort or if you need to get anything else off your chest, but if you do, I'm here now.
I would talk s--- but I don't want to be rude so -
f--- her to hell. :P
-
That's horrible. I can't believe people can be so ignorant.
-
Aww...my mom is like that too.. :/ So I understand...
-
Damn, Maru. That is so mean of your mom. And your sister is right. As long as he doesn't hurt you.
-
Thanks.
I don't know. I'm just tired.
Or you could not.
Well. It's always been like this. She insists she's not racist.
Sorry about that. -
*Angel is my brother.
-
Did you get enough sleep?
-
Oh, sorry. I thought Angel was your sister. I'm sorry for making a wrong assumption.
-
It's okay..
-
She's racist as hell. Reminds of my grandmother.
-
That's not what I meant. I'm just tired in general. It's okay. I'm done with my dramatics for a while. How are you?
It's fine. It's part of his username here. I thought most people would recognize it.
I know she is. -
Reminds me of Segregation in the 1960's.
