My mom is a bit obsessed with Black people?

Question

her parents were both half. Her dad is half Indian and half black and her mom half black have White(Jewish)

I have nothing against it but she's mad at me because I don't have a fave. black artist..I didn't watch the show black in America. Mad because I don't want to get extensions, perms or relaxers. & one day I herd her saying me and my brothers have to marry a black person, I have nothing against it but what if we fall in love with someone who's something else?

..When I went to a Coldplay concert and came home that morning she asks what were black people wearing, I mean why does it matter ? I had a good time that's what should matter right? Oh and she wants me too go to an all black college. Its weird my dad is black (Well he's mom is half white) and he doesn't care much about race at all, people are people that's what I see.

Is it wrong that I would like to go to a diverse college?

Is it wrong that I like a white or anything else guy?

Is it wrong that I dont like being called back, I rather just be called my name instead?

She also says that almost all white people are racist... wtf

Answer 1

Answer 2

it's your mom's issue, don't make it yours.  

Most likely she grew up in a neighborhood where people told her she "wasn't black enough"  (whatever that means) and she's playing out some psychodrama from her childhood.

growing up I had plenty of friends who were mixed and once in a while I would hear someone insult them by calling them an oreo or tell them they weren't being black and behaving white.  Fortunately for them they knew who they were and the names while they might hurt, didn't keep them down.

Answer 3

Don't bottle it up, tell her that she is blowing this way out of proportion. It's okay to be proud of who you are, but that kind of pride comes across conceited. If you want her to pay for college or help then I would suggest following her instructions, but after that do what you want, and love who you want. You absolutely cannot help who you fall in love with.

No, that's what names are there for.

"Almost all white people are racist"...ooh, that's racist.  

You have a very pretty skin tone!

Answer 4

I know other people like your mom. They just need to get over themselves and realize we are all unique. No two people are alike. Even identical twins have different tastes and different opinions. Tell your mother how you feel and maybe your Dad could be a little more helpful. Good luck

Answer 5

Your mom's wrong. Not all white people are racists. Next time she starts up with that, point out that her own parents have at least 1 white parent each. That should prove alot there.

And no, you are not wrong in wanting to just be YOU.

Too many people make a big deal of races these days that they forget, people are just people. I say, do what makes YOU feel good about being you. Be yourself, and ignore the ignorance of others. When mom starts getting to ya, tell her that you're simply embracing ALL parts of your life. Just as you should be doing. That what may be right for her, may not be as "right" for you. I'm sure no matter who you do end up falling in love with, your mom will be accepting as long as they make her girl happy.
