I am an african american woman who has always been around puerto ricans- I met my future husband who is PR in 2001- I was shocked to find out that he had never been with a black woman- and never prefered to be with them- until he met me- he had a very bad impression of blacks and he claimed that it was from his environment- but i am convinced that it is because he has went through his life being considered black and having to tell people that he is not black- and some of his family are prejudice but act like they aren't they tell me that they are of taino indian decent and spaniard but not black- I have a hard time with this because I know that my man has african features and that they wont admit to that-his sister who i love very much slips alot about blacks-she trys to hold it back but i already know where her comment is headed and it gets me pissed- any ideas on how to handle this?- up until I met my fiance and his family- I have never felt like an outsider around PR's- if they were prejudice I never noticed but now Im finding that it really bothers me and i dont want to cause no problems but im going to defend my heritage because thats who I am- and if I have a child it will be mixed and I dont want he/she to feel as though there is something wrong with it because my family are mixed with everything and we embrace all- Im glad that I read these posts- Black and Hispanics are beautiful and they make cute babies!!!
