Today, my mother yet again went on a long rant about how much of a loser I am as I have "never had boyfriend" and I'm 26. Truth is, I've been in the same relationship for over five years but it "doesn't count because he's black." FML

Your mom should be happy that you're with someone who is loyal to you and makes you happy regardless of his skin color. I hope you two stay together and have a long happy relationship.

Wow I don't even know what I can say to this OP. Your mother is a disgusting old relic from an age I wish we could leave behind, but the "stragglers" keep popping up. I hope you have other family and friend support, and I echo the sentiments and kudos that you turned out okay despite what I'm sure she tried to impress upon you. My husband is white and although I'm sure there are some opinions about this both of our families have always been supportive, and our friends more so. Good luck OP!

im sorry to say this but she sounds like a complete twat

Get him to tell her she can't have an opinion, she's white

So white people can't have an opinion?

So you make a racist comment on a story that exposes the ugliness that is racism? Ironic.

Good for you. It must be hard to know your mother does not support your choice in love. You might have to make the hard choice and cut her out of your life, at some point. If you decide to have kids, you would not want her around them.

Your mom needs to stop the hate. Tell her to stop being insecure.

How are there people still out there like that?

Good for you OP for having a lasting relationship with somone you love. I know how you feel, my mother is racist towards my husband because he's Native American. She even went so far as to ask if his Tipi collapsed yet. Don't listen to her or let her ruin your relationship. As long as you're happy that's all that matters.
