Kenyan Woman Distressed After She Overheard Her Canadian Boyfriend’s Parents Make Racist Remarks Against Her

A Kenyan woman in Canada has taken to social media to seek advice after she overheard her Canadian boyfriend’s parents making racist remarks against her.

The woman, who has been living with her boyfriend’s family in Canada during the Covid-19 lockdown, said she eavesdropped on his parent’s conversation as they thought she was asleep. She was shocked to hear them discuss her using racially charged language.

Not sure what steps to take, the anonymous woman sought advice through Reddit’s Relationship Advice forum. She asked whether it is right to end her relationship.

“When I was walking down the stairs, I heard his mother (still at the kitchen table) mention my name, so being noisy, I stopped and listen. They said I was nice and I was happy to hear that, but then his father said ‘it’s a shame she’s a n***** though’,” the woman said.

Shortly after, she heard his mother say “as long as he doesn’t marry her, it’s fine. And he won’t, he knows we would be disappointed.”

The woman added: “I didn’t know how to feel, and I still don’t. I’m lucky enough to have never dealt with this kind of racism, so I’m a bit lost on what to do. What his mother said implies my bf knows his parents are not happy with him being with me. Is this why he’s waited so long to introduce them to me?”

The two have been dating for a year and decided to spend time with the boyfriend’s family after both of their jobs were closed due to the Covid-19 lockdown. She said this was the first time he introduced her to his parents and she thought all was well until the incident happened.

Racism is alive in the Northern Hemisphere. It is a personal decision how to deal with it. Only you can make your decision for yourself. By the way, it only affects you if you allow it do so. It has no power over you if you ignore it.

Have you ever mixed water with oil? If you use very high velocity mixture you can have a solution that looks like water and oil are thoroughly mixed to become one. But once you leave the solution a lone for a while without disturbing it you find the two liquids have separated. We're two separate nations whether we like it or not. The seemly freely mixed solution is an illusion. We're two different nations. " Genesis 25:23". Think about it, Esau has been terrorizing us since time immemorial: the Zanji slave trade, the Trans- Atlantic slave trade, as slavery eased out, the Berlin Conference: 1884-85 (Scramble for Africa), then the Imperialism, colonialism, Neo- Colonialism and now the Global Mega- Corporate- Take- Overs. Girl, pack and go. Your boyfriend is his parents whether he knows it or not, whether he wants to be so or not. And if you think your boyfriend is different, why are blacks still hated and hunted and themselves and their resources used up by the Edomites mercilessly and violently through out time?

You need to get another place to live! What they said about you is just a small amount of what they will do to you.

The relationship with your boyfriend will never work! White people have never grown past the skin color barriers. They all walk comfortably with the confines of racial arrogance.

Right now they think you are just munching on them. So they feel like you are a good for nothing black “girl” that is just leaching on your “holy” son, and perhaps them as well!!

Interracial relationships are quite difficult to manage; actually, they never work well!

End the relationship and quickly move on! You are just a little “nigger” girl wanting to pollute their white genealogy !
Move on with your own life and look for a better match for you!

Her low self esteem or lack there of is in question since she’s going to social media for validation. Doesn’t she see she’s just a spare wheel trying to fit in where she doesn’t belong?

The man calls you a nigger; the woman calls you a total disappointment to the family, but your candy apple red boyfriend thinks you are the best thing “ heaven dropped in his arms”!

And the quagmire continues and it will even get worse once you produce some “colored” kids! They will be a disappointment to the larger family too!

Your goose is already cook! You are only good for a quick hit by their son! Eat and dump kind of expectation by the your in-laws!! Get the hell out of there quickly!

Are there no black men in Canada that you find and start a romantic relationship? Or do you so lucky and blessed to have a white boy as your boyfriend? Of course he waited so long because he knows that his white parents are bigots! Relationships like the one you are in are pure headaches and a lasting nightmare; especially for you! You are luck they have not thrown boiling water in your face! Run baby run! Run, run, run!!

The parents would rather deal with covid19 that have their son marry a black woman! You should have dumped the guy the moment you heard his father call you a nigger!

One year in a relationship is just like a walk in the park! You can easily walk away and move in with your life unless there is something which is making you hold on to the guy! Can you afford to move out on your own?? Good luck!!

You have been given the answer on a silver platter. What else is there to ask? You run fast don't let the door hit you.

Run don't walk. Do you really want to bring children into this family? I hate to paint with a broad brush but for 250 years white people happily enslaved and sold their own children.

Go back to your apartment or get a roommate. Move...you have guts to agree to live there in the first place. You are not married to him and you move into parents home? God forbid. The parents are studying you.

Your racist in-laws have told you everything you needed to know about you in relationship to them and their son!

They have informed you that the longer you stay, the worse things will get because they look at you as a sub human being and they have no plans of accepting you because of the color of your skin.

Now the ball is in your hands to make the right decision. I tend to think you have a high degree of insecurity about yourself!

You would have already moved on without having to ask the whole world what they think of the events that transpired for the boy’s parents to express resentment of you.

It is time for you to move on with your life!

Run girl, run!! The whites have their blessing which is fire and sword (gun) that has been used for centuries to hunt and kill the black man.
Black man's blessing is Water and spirituality which will be used to put out the fire when time is right.
The two do not work well together. Run before we read you on the news as Emmit Teal; Sandra Brand; Travon Martin; and the latest Amand Aubrey and the list goes on....
Run girl!!!

I wonder if his parents would have said the same shit if it was their daughter dating a n***r! They often say," once you go black,you never look back!".
Her white BF need to do more to show that he love you. He need to treat you like queen of Zamunda and feel damn comfy with you in midst of his white clan. Otherwise, you are just wasting you time and letting your pinky cargoes get whipped up freely like a whippy cream!

Better still, become a second wife to Miguna Miguna and you will be an instant celebrity when you start to reclaim and repair the Runda house.

Girl, dont even think twice. Potea! I have worked in a all white Jewish people retirement home, but I realized years later that it was only my excellent services they were excited about. Unlike Americas unruly, rude, ignorant, lazy, less ethical black people, I was so different in so many aspect. But I could still see them on my side eye whispering and murmuring that "African boy" with deep ascent. I live in an all white neighborhood. But I can feel their eyes all over me whenever I return from work or on other personal errands. They know am black but since they don't see other black people come in or out as a sign that am a drug dealer, i think they embrace my presence. I once visited Toy R Us with a friend, but weirdly noted that one of the clerk was watching and following us from one isle to the the other. On a visit to one of the epicenter of American racism, West Virginia, where blacks are a rare specie, shocked me to this date. From satirically charged "Sir, Can i help," "How can i help you," at the Caverns, Walmart, Burger King, KFC and traffic police, the message was simple and clear: this is a white people zones, keep off. The only difference between black people and white people is that the former will not show their hatred towards you, but the latter will. Girl. Kama ni makaratasi unatafuta na umepata, potea. Your boyfriend will never show you how he feels about. But he will start showing some signs of violence, anger, fury and listen to this, even murder if you continue to stick to him. Very soon they will throw you out. Safe yourself now. You are lucky you got some clues early enough. Wazungu wataendelea kukupa "fake smile" na kumbe wanakutafuna tafuna kama njugu karanga mfukoni.

Haha, she ain't seen nothing yet, she will never be accepted FACT! Whyties view blavks as perpetual slaves and that's never going to change.

A lot of details of the story missing. But I think if your boyfriend is happy with you, then whatever his parents think about you does not matter.

I've been in the same situation. I liked this Italian American guy and he liked me but the family couldn't stand me since mimi sio mzunye but we are still friends though...

Being Kenyan, huyu dame atakaa tuu. Kenyan ladies take a lot of bullshit from Kenyan boyfriends and husbands... But they stay ever so faithfully to the end. Mtu atatandikwa kama drum ya ndorobo from sunset to sunrise but atakaa tu kwa hiyo relationship. Wengi wamecomment hapa forgetting that people in Kenya still deal with tribal bulshit too. Wacheni kulaumu wazungu saana! Yet Kenyans have the highest tribalism and nepotism rates ever. Chances are that the close relatives and girlfriends this lady has will urge her to vumilia and stay including her mother. Wanawake wakenya ni ku kaa ngumu tu, au vipi?

Girl, watch George Flyod's murder on YouTube and see yourself in future. " When God divided the nations...."

Sister, no doubt in deep dilemma. But, huge mistake you’ve done is COHABITING . PLEASE, if you want respect from your BF & his side of the family, BE INDEPENDENT. And definitely, you will be able to make a good decision about your future.
