Q. My question is simply this. If you love someone from a different race,
how can you convince your loved ones (parents and siblings) to love
her and eliminate their narrowmindedness?
A. The answer to that is not very easy. I can only tell you what I have done in situations
such as yours. It really is about the only thing that can work. You need to have a meeting
with your family, your girlfriend, and yourself. Explain to them what your girlfriend means
to you, what she does for you, and the goals she has for herself. Then explain how it makes
you feel that your family doesn't like her because of her color. Odds are that there will be
some yelling, and feelings may be hurt, but you need to try to remain calm. After you have the
meeting, it's really up to your family to change. They need to want to change. If had two meetings
with my girlfriends parents. The went very well, and things changed afterwards. We discussed our
feelings and came to an understanding. GOOD LUCK! Please let me know what happens.
