Why Italy

Im a white male (italian) my mom forbids Interracial dating? She will lose it if i tell her.?

I lived in a mostly African American community growing up. I don’t know why I feel this way. But it could do with the first woman I ever seen nude was black, and the first woman I ever made love to is black. I also attract mostly black woman. I don’t want to keep it in the closet. Its going to come out some time, im 25 and I just graduated college, just moved back home. I got another girl friend and it feels wrong hiding her. My dad dated a black woman once, I don’t see what the big thing is with me, she forbids it.

1. Tell your mom to get over it - you're a grown man now and can make your own decisions.
2. She'll get over it. She is your mom and she loves you. If you love someone enough to let them into your life, another race or not, she will learn to accept her.
3. well thats poor you should date who you want
4. you should come out, your mom will understand
5. your mom probably will but she just has to get over the fact that you can do what you want because if you love someone it shouldn't matter what the race is
6. If she's sicilian tell her her ancestors where black.
7. Time to own yourself my friend..... Ignore your Mom & go with what's good for you...... She'll have to accept.....eventually
8. You're your own man, your mom cannot control you.
9. Your 25 years old..your an adult and although you want to please your moms wishes, she needs to realize that your happiness matters also. If you can talk to her and let her know that you are happy in a relationship with another race explain to her it willl mean a lot for her to understand. You wouldnt jus marry an itailian women for your moms sake and be unhappy the rest of your life, I doubt your mom would want to see her son like that
10. If you and and this girl really like/love each-other.... than follow your heart. everything else will work itself out.
11. tell your mom to stop being racist. race doesn't matter at all. black white red purple wide eyed, narrow eyed. non of it matters we are all one race- the human race!
12. she is rediculous. my dad is the same way. racist asses
13. you are a grown man. dont date people who your mom APPROVES of. she can't approve anything in your life now that youre an adult and old enough to take charge of your life. there is nothing wrong with interracial dating. your mom is stuck in the past and refuses to look past color. if you only go by what makes your mom feel good about HERSELF, then you really dont have a life.
14. You're an adult and your mom cannot tell you who to date or not date. She'll have to accept it--in the end it's not HER that is going out with the person...it's YOU.
15. First of all I want to say that hell hath no fury like an Italian mother. But all jokes aside, you know in the back of your mind you mom is going to freak and give you allot of crap if you bring a black woman home. Also you need to realize that since you are living at home, she calls the shots, not you. I know it's a bummer, but the only way you are going to do this without allot of talk from your mom is to live by yourself. I know you don't want to hide it, but if you want to let it be known and have your mom hound you, threaten to throw you out, make your future girlfriend uncomfortable, then be my guest. But all you have to do is just date but don't bring the girl home, and keep it under wraps from your mom. That's all, and as soon as you move out, you can call the shots and make your relationship known. I hope this helps. -Ty
16. your old enough and ugly enough (it's an expression, I'm not calling you ugly) to make your own decisions. Your dad will obviously understand, but your mum sounds a litttllle rascist. You date whoever you want to date and be happy with yourself for that. Your mum cannot choose your life for you, she will learn to be happy for you
17. a. interracial reltationship are much more common now that ever before and b. it is not illegaly to marry as it once was. shame that she is racist and fearful. the fact is that there are 25 mil biracial kids in the usa. no big deal. you cannot keep the blood line pure forever.
18. I'm the total opposite i'm african american but most of my serious relationships have been with girls of a different race my mom at first was not up for it but since she found GOD dshes kinda changed and thats cool now but try to explain but in the situation and in the end ur an adult now and ur mom should respect your judgement obviously if she didn't raise a fool she sholud know you have goooooood judgement.
19. Good for you, once you go Blk ya never go back. LMAO All jokes aside, you are a grown man now, Mom needs to get use to it. But whatever you do don't let your Mom discourage you. She can't make your decisions for you. If this is what you want then so be it. You shouldn't have to hide your woman. I think this is sad.I don't see what the deal is either, ALL women have the same thing in between their legs. (A Vagina) We all bleed the same when cut, no matter what color.
20. I have italian and german back ground and I know a lot of the europeans are still old fashion its like they want to carry the traditions of the italian blood and italian traditions.Now if yall get married and have kids she will come around and love those grandkids and now its either except it or not.But just tell her that you love this woman and you ahve to go with your heart and what u want and that its not to hurt here but it your life now.theres only so much you can do or say to her.
21. Get a full-time job, move out of your parents' house and you can do whatever you want.
