My girlfriend and I have been dating 6 months now. She's white and I'm black.. Throwing that out there for clarity purposes in the story to come. She recently told her step father who has raised her and her sister since the age of 8 (she's 19 now) and he went ballistic. Maybe for the best, but she will not tell me all that he has said to her about us and what he thinks on the situation but she has filled me in that he punched a hole in the wall. The next morning after that he threatened her mother with a divorce if her daughter didn't leave me. Mind you all. He simply only knows my skin color and my name... Speaking of my name he found me on Facebook and sent a couple of messages to me about the situation. Sufficed to say, they weren't G rated. Now three days later after ignoring the mother and my girlfriend he leaves a note on the kitchen table before going off to work, presumably a klan rally at this point, with things written down such as tuition, car note, insurance, phone bill and a few others followed by "if you don't leave that n*****... These are all gone."
She text me saying after she talks to him tonight we have to talk. I already know that she won't choose me over stability.. Am I a bad person for praying that she does?.. She can attend a junior college, take out a student loan to pay for it and I've offered her free shelter in my apartment. But she's too dependent on his money.. And she's in love with me and I her but that isn't going to change her forthcoming decision. I'm currently sitting at working balling my eyes out over her.. But I know there's nothing I can do and the things I say will only make it harder for her. I wonder if he'd be ok if she dated an abusive, heroine addict with less of an education but as long as he's white, it's ok. I can't believe people still think supremacy exists.. My heart is seriously broken. Yes by her but also but humanity.

Is it bad that all I can think of is: Why on earth come here with that magnitude of a problem?

In terms of advice, you should turn to those closest to you; whom might offer ACTUAL guidance.

This section is called the rant and that's what I did. You don't have to patronize me. Gamers don't have problems..?

Ugh, this is becoming a habit.

Your "rant" is not something anyone educated would care to dabble in. They do not know you, your girlfriend, her dad, and I can almost guarantee they haven't gone through the same thing

My comment was in no way malicious and ironically probably the best "help" you'll get here.

This may be a long shot, but ask your girl to let you and her father to actually sit down and talk about things and actually show him you're not what he thinks of you or whatever. Since he only knows you by your color, show him the real you and whats on the inside. Sounds corny, I know.

I suffered similar with one of my ex girlfriends.
Roles reversed. Im white and she is black.

Her parents did pretty much the same as the idiot father in your case.

Sadly there is not alot you can do.
It does seem it will be pointless to try and reason with him.

Doesnt look good for you man. Its down to her choices now

that seems to un real man. Thats not cool, I actually had the same situation sorta happen to me. Im white (latino) and I was talking to a black girl. And for some reason her brothers were like "dont date that cracker ass white boy" "if you keep talking to him imma beat his ass dead" and I really liked her, but oh well.

Kinda sad how her family is treating you. I will keep you in my thoughts man.

Family comes first.


If her dad is so hateful towards you because he is a racist, there ins't much you can do but move on as hard as that may be. Because, without his approval his daughter won't be around you.



Racism is bad, hurts everyone and in this case you, but if dad doesn't approve, it isn't going to happen. Sad to be the one to say it to you though.

I second the idea to sit down with her father and show him who you really are. It sickens me when a parent or parents give their daughter/son ultimatums because they don't like what their child is doing with their lives or don't like the person their child is dating.

I would have confronted the father myself, but that's a hard thing to do. I would still continue to see her if I was you, just keep it secret until things cool over.

Ditch her, women cause nothing but troubles. Stay single, be with as many girls as you want. Profit.
