I'm attracted to black guys and my parents think I'm disgusting?
I'm a white girl. I'm 18. I live at home. I work 3 fantastic jobs. I go to college full time. I manage a 4.0 gpa. I don't party, drink, or smoke. I'm just attracted to black guys. I dated a black guy for 2 years in high school and the summer before college my parents told me I had to break up with him if I want to live with them and be accepted by my family. They said they had enough of my "nonsense." So I ended things with him and I was heart broken. I've tried dating numerous white guys. I even have gone out with guys my parents hand picked for me. All of the white guys are handsome, kind, and treat me like a princess but I'm just not attracted to them. I recently met a black guy who is a senior in high school. He has a full ride to college and is about to graduate at the top of his class as valedictorian. He's also playing division 1 football at a Big Ten school and is on espn's list for being one of the top football recruits in the nation. He treats me great and makes me very happy. We recently started getting more serious, but my parents don't even know he exists. I have to sneak around to see him. I like him so much. I couldn't ask for a better guy in my life. But when I come home to my family, their racist comments about things they see on television or in public hurt me badly. They used to call me disgusting for dating the boy I dated in high school and that I should be ashamed of myself. I don't know what to do. I'm not attracted to white guys like they want me to be. My parents even told me they'd rather me be lesbian. I don't do anything wrong. I follow all their rules and do everything they ask. I just like black guys. I try my best to be their perfect daughter but apparently me being attracted to black guys makes me a bad kid. How am I supposed to tell my parents I'm attracted to black guys and that I have a new black boyfriend? I can't move out because every time I've tried they take the keys to my car and my phone and lock me in my room. I'm sick of being single and dating people I don't want to date to make my parents happy. It hurts me so badly that I can't make my parents happy or proud just because I dated a black guy. I don't know what to do. I'm confused and frustrated. Its pushed me to a point of tears. I can't control this attraction. How can I get my parents to understand me?
Its not that I'm racist towards white guys, I'm just not attracted to them. I'm not eliminating them as options, but even some of the nicest and best looking white guys haven't really caught my attention. I'm not racists towards any particular race. I just am more attracted to black guys than white.

there is nothing lower than you....seriously.
why do you call yourself white at all?
the fact that youve dated out... you ALREADY know that the overwhelming majority of white men find you repulsive. you know this. the idea of "preference" is what lets you delude yourself into thinking you have a choice in the matter.
the fact that you say..." I'm not eliminating them as options" is just you clinging to that delusion
you will never...ever in your life get into a long term loving relationship with a normal white guy... the only "option" available to you would be a bottom of the barrel dysfunctional white guy who himself has dated interracially.
this is what drives your behavior... but you dont want to admit or acknowledge it, you would rather denigrate and offend all other white people... normalize your severe dysfunction so you could pretend to be "like" other white people.
again...nearly every single white guy on the face of the earth...will look at you with disgust on revulsion. this is it for your entire life....
you know this... can you imagine meeting up with a white guy, getting along and all that... you know what will happen when he learns youve dated out... you know, in your heart. that nothing you do will stop that look of disgust.
why yes, you can imagine it, youve probably experienced it already... is it any wonder why you have to work so hard to normalize, rationalize, and justify your so-called "preference".
yes.. its very "mysterious" why you just cant seem to click with a white guy... they "cant" catch your attention? face it... you fear it. you terrified of it. sooner or later, hes gonna find out. and youll have to see that disgust again. youll have to confront just how low you are. you know this.
A self loathing black guy on the other hand? your always going to be "white" , a prize even, .... white worship is a hell of a thing in that regard.
man, what a nightmare it would be to have someone like you as a family member.
your parents will understand you just fine... what you want to know is how to emotionally rape your parents, guilt them into denigrating themselves as much as you already have.
As for being racist... every single time you refer to yourself as "white", you denigrate and express hatred for the racial community you are not a part of.

Sweetie, You love who you love and your parents need to accept that! I say follow your heart because nothing else can or will do. This is your life and the guy you're with is a good one! He's smart, he's going places it sounds, he's cute and despite his skin color, YOU LIKE HIM! Parents and other people in general need to accept the World as it is, not the way they WISH it were! Sorry, but by living in a fantasy world of make believe, they can never accept things in reality. You don't live inside their bubble, you are just who you are and not what they wish you could be. Other than that, keep up the good work, don't cry and love who you love. All the best and good luck to you and your guy

Okay we got it for the upteenth time, you like black guys. I don't care.
The only thing of interest is that you are 18 and claim they take away the keys to your car and lock you in your bedroom. If the car is in your name and you are making payments, that's illegal. If they lock you in your room at 18 years of age, that's illegal. Go rent a studio apt. and when they are at work you load up the car and a friend's car and you beat feet to the new place. No car, start saving for a used car and make your goal to move out.

Since you are the dominant race, your parents may view themselves as superior to the subordinate race. Although our physical differences are obviously different, we are not truly like this. We all were born in heaven. And through sin we have been born in Earth a prison to serve our death sentence. Do not look at your boyfriend as black but as a spiritual brother who you want to be on Earth with until your death. Do not let your parents conventional views hinder true love. Stand up be strong and show them that you are proud to be with him and plan to for holy marriage.

You're 18, an adult, so you should just talk to your parents and say that it's not good for them to be racist. If they won't listen, have you considered moving out? It's your life, and if you want to date black guys, you should date black guys.

Sounds like your parents are set in their ways and changing their minds may not happen.
If/when you marry a black guy, you will need to decide how much contact you will allow your parents to have with you, husband, kids.

wow your parent are really wrong !
you are an adult, you can move out even if you have to go with just the clothes you are wearing
but this is not fair for you, you deserve to be treated with love and respect, specially from your family
