Today, my grandmother called me in a fit of panic because her new neighbors are black. So is my fiancé, whom she is supposed to meet tomorrow. FML

That sucks. It's similar to the feeling "oh shit my boyfriends parents are hardcore Catholic and I'm Wiccan." But in the end if you love him then I wish you two a good life if your grandma approves or not.

Sad that racism is still so prevalent in the US today

Racism will die out with the older generation. Until then things will be kinda complicated.

A nice sentiment, but unfortunately, the older generation teaches that stuff to their young, and isolation re-enforces it.

Some people just can't change no matter how hard you try sorry about the trouble but your going to have to ease her in it, it's not the color grandma it's the person inside did you know most serial killers are white like 90 something percent

I'm not saying your grandma is racist but it sounds like she is. My stepfather, I'm pretty sure, has a mother and grandmother who are racist. If you two (you and grandma) get along then I hope everything works out for the best OP so hopefully she'll come around. But if she goes all pissy and rude against your fiance then tell her that she doesn't deserve to be invited to the wedding if she's going to act that way.
