\u201cToday my daughter changed her profile picture. After maybe 5 minutes I get a text \u2026\u2019 I didn\u2019t know she was dating a black boy, did you?\u2019<\/p>\n
It took me all day to think up a response, which I didn\u2019t send personally but thought I would share for anyone else that \u2018may not know\u2019.<\/p>\n
Yes in fact I did know, but the color of his skin doesn\u2019t define who he is. What does define who is he is how he treats my daughter.<\/p>\n
I see my daughter dating a boy that comes to my house and shows me nothing but respect (a big deal in my book). It\u2019s always Yes Ma\u2019am, No Ma\u2019am, we talk about football and baseball, he tells me bye when he leaves, and has not once shown me a lack of manners or respect.<\/p>\n
I see my daughter dating a boy who treats her good. He takes her on dates, to ballgames, out to eat\u2026 not to a club or partying on the weekends.<\/p>\n
I see my daughter dating a boy who takes her to church with him. Every Sunday. He plays in the band, she sits with his family. How many young men these days make church a priority? None of the others have.<\/p>\n
He doesn\u2019t hit her, cuss her, lie to her, or make her cry. Would I rather her date a white boy that did, to keep from her dating another race? Absolutely not.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s my response to the question I was asked. And I know people have their own opinion, but at the end of the day, the fact that my daughter has someone that loves her and treats her like a queen makes me happy. That\u2019s something I\u2019ve never had in my life and I\u2019m glad she does.\u201d<\/p>\n
