So it’s that time of year again. You know the time.  The time where interracial couples have fights about meeting the racist parents of one of them and the other tells them they refuse.

What? Is this not what EVERYONE else is doing? This is just me?

So the girlfriend’s parents want to have dinner with me. Not Thanksgiving dinner, because that would be to0 traumatic. Can’t unleash the Black guy on the family. (I wish I was kidding about that last line. Thats literally why they aren’t having me to Thanksgiving dinner, it was requested by her Brother, and they respectfully declined) They want to have a dinner 2 days after.

I have respectfully declined.

Of course this has caused WWIV. (WWIII  happened when I didn’t take the laundry to the laundromat. But peace talks were kicked off and we put some papers together and we were living in a time of peace) The girlfriend thinks I’m being stubborn because I don’t want to talk to them. “They’re coming around!” she says. “They’re trying!” She says. And now I’m being mean because I don’t care about it.

I understand what the mature thing to do is. I’m supposed to go and talk to them. Get to know them and let them know me. Then they’ll be accepting and We can start a life together. But maybe I need some counseling or some classes or something because I’m not that mature.  I can’t just ignore it. We’ve been together almost 2 years. And they’ve pretty much ignored my very existence. Her Grandmother has been trying to hook her up with other guys. She cries when talking to her about me. CRIES!

I’m not that mature. If my Mom didn’t accept the girlfriend for a year and a half and then realized that she might be losing me so then decides to jump on board, I wouldn’t expect her to run to the dinner table. Thats not something thats easily gotten over.  Plus the fact that I hadn’t done anything. They just knew I was Black and from a different background from her. That’s it.

That’s it.

She says I should confront them. I don’t want to confront them. What the hell do I need that in my life for? “You weren’t accepting of me simply because of superficial reasons hence I have no urge to have contact with you!” I’m not doing that. This isn’t an off Broadway play (although now I may have to write one)  I find this amazing that I was rejected by my girlfriends family but somehow I’m wrong for not running to them now that they’ve decided to give the Black guy a chance.

Not at Thanksgiving dinner though. They’re willing to give a chance, but not THAT type of chance. They need to keep things peaceful you know.  The very idea of a 2 day after Thanksgiving dinner makes my blood boil. I don’t want to do Thanksgiving with them, but the couple of days later is a slap in the face. I’m not good enough for thanksgiving! I might cause a bit of an uproar! But a quiet dinner 2 days later is good. I’m repeating myself, I know, but it’s stuck in my mind.

I have various issues in my life. Why would I sign up for this shit storm? Try me back in 6 months. Maybe I’ll be more accepting of those who haven’t accepted me.
