Ok well as most of you know my sister just got married and had a baby. Well She married a black man who is one of the nicest guys I know. Black husband+ white wife = mixed baby right?
So my grandparents live in northern Indiana had no idea her husband wasn't white. They came down to visit on the 4th and nothing was said. Last night mom mom was talking to my grandmother and told her that John is black. She proceeded to ask "how black is John?" and "what color is the baby?"
Add this to her telling my mom how black granite countertops and yellow paint won't look good (my kitchen has black and yellow!!)and her critisizing everything my mom does and it blew up into a huge confrontation.
Well my mom threw them out.
Does anyone else see this as crazy? I know they grew up in an era where inter-racial relationships are not the norm and still have a hard time with it but to ask such stupid questions when it does't really matter "how black John is" and what color the baby is!!
Thanks had to vent!!
