So my aunt and uncle disowned my cousin because he married a black woman. They warned him about the vile, insulting and brutal comments they will receive and this family doesn’t support mixed race dating. My uncle said he prefers his kids to stick with their own race not only to avoid that problem but because it’s the right things to do and stop messing up the bloodline. My cousin doesn’t care if she’s black. She is a loving, devoted, heart working, kindhearted woman. She’s funny and she had a heart of gold. I don’t understand why my lousy bigot aunt and uncle can’t see past that. Yes I called them bigots. It’s the truth. They have four beautiful grandchildren that they refuse to see and acknowledge because they didn’t want “half black” grandparents only white.
They refused to attend his wedding and most of my family too. Me, my late dad, my older half siblings and a three of my cousins are the only ones that went. My isn’t and uncle stopped talking to us because we supported them. One person on here said she didn’t blame them for disowning their son. Man life is brutal.
I do not blame your aunt and uncle for disowning your cousin. Their behavior is bigoted, wrong, and distasteful. Here are the main reasons:
1. Love is love. Your cousin found someone who makes him happy and treats him well. The color of her skin should be irrelevant. Family should support love.
2. Their grandchildren's heritage is part of who they are. Refusing to acknowledge that denies a fundamental part of their identities. Family should embrace and celebrate all aspects of their children.
3. Interracial relationships have been legal in the U. S. for over 50 years. The "bloodline" argument is outdated and rooted in white supremacist ideology.
4. Their actions are hurtful. Disowning your own child and grandchildren over race causes deep pain and trauma. Family should nurture and support each other through life's challenges.
5. They are judging someone based on appearance, not character. Your cousin's wife sounds like a kind, loving, and good-hearted person. That's what truly matters.
6. You cannot control who you fall in love with. Your cousin did not choose his wife to spite his parents. He chose her because of who she is as a person.
In summary, while people are entitled to their preferences, actively rejecting and cutting off a family member due to race is unjust, cruel, and inexcusable. Your aunt and uncle are in the wrong here. You are right to support your cousin and his wife absolutely. I hope in time your aunt and uncle are able to look past race, open their hearts, and repair these family bonds.
So no, I do not blame your aunt and uncle. But I do not condone or support their decision to disown their son either.
