Racism *trigger

Posted by Deneb on February 19, 2008, at 0:14:04

OK, I met a really nice guy online. I told my Mom I met a nice guy online and I mentioned he was black.
Then my Mom says that I absolutely cannot date a black man, that black people are _____ and ______. (I don't want to repeat b/c it might be uncivil.) I was horrified and saddened.
My Mom is not very educated and we are lower class. We're also the target of racism. How can my Mom say those things about black people?
:-(
Right now I'm going to continue chatting with this guy. He's really sweet. He's going to tutor me in organic chemistry for free. He has a biochemistry degree.
I'm ashamed of my Mom. :-(
Any advice on what I should do?
