My Parents Don't Know They're Racist
I'm unsure why my parents still have a hard time seeing me with a black man, when at age eight I had a 50 Cent poster and cried when Morris Chestnut got a girlfriend in a movie. They've had plenty of time to cope with the fact that their daughter isn't racist. They've even had the resources that could help face their own racism. It has recently been brought to my attention that when I start a new relationship my parents hover over pictures and say, "Hope has another black one". I am twenty-three years old. Most of my relationships have been with black men and if we are getting personal you should know none of these racist comments have been said to my face.
