Heather Boyer is a mom who recently received a text stating that her daughter was dating a black guy, and she confessed that she did not know how to respond at first. Once you see what the text said, you’ll immediately see why she did not know what to say initially.
Heather took to social media afterwards to share what happened.
“Today my daughter changed her profile picture. After maybe 5 minutes I get a text …’ I didn’t know she was dating a black boy, did you?’” Heather began. “It took me all day to think up a response, which I didn’t send personally but thought I would share for anyone else that ‘may not know.’”
“Yes in fact I did know, but the color of his skin doesn’t define who he is,” she continued. “What does define who is he is how he treats my daughter.”
“I see my daughter dating a boy that comes to my house and shows me nothing but respect (a big deal in my book),” Heather wrote. “It’s always Yes Ma’am, No Ma’am, 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.”
“I see my daughter dating a boy who treats her good. He takes her on dates, to ballgames, out to eat… not to a club or partying on the weekends,” the mother said. “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.”
“He doesn’t 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,” she added.
“So that’s my response to the question I was asked,” Heather concluded. “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’s something I’ve never had in my life and I’m glad she does.”
We could not agree with Heather more!
