My first hand experience with racism

thesecretlifeofhappy:

It’s never cool when you’re family emotionally, mentally, and threatens to also physically abuse you, all because of who you are dating.

Some info about my boyfriend:
• Always smiling
• Knows how to cheer anyone up
• Buys me things
• Plays with my hair
• Constantly reminds me about how much he loves me/how beautiful I am
• Loves to call me his baby
• Graduated high school with a 4.2 GPA
• Made it into the honors society in his university
• Loves animals just as much as me
• Great dancer

BUT none of that matters, since he’s black.
That’s how life is with racist parents.

My soulmate has dark skin, and I do not, and because of that my parents are against us ever being together. I have been threatened, my boyfriend has been threatened, and we constantly live in anxiety in attempt to be accepted by my family. But I am fed up.
Family shouldn’t dislike with someone just because of the color of their skin. They should dislike someone because of the content of their character.
I am tired. I am annoyed. I am fed up. I am angry. Love shouldn’t be dictated by color. It’s 2016, get it together world.
