Mom Gets Text Asking If She’s Aware Her Daughter Is Dating A ‘Black Boy’, Her Response Turns Heads

Note: we are republishing this story which originally made the news in February 2019.

In the heartland of Mississippi, a mom is making waves on social media, pushing back against judgment that reached her doorstep regarding her daughter’s choice of a life partner. Heather Boyer, a Houston, MS resident, took to Facebook to share an incident where a friend’s intrusive question highlighted the racial background of her daughter’s boyfriend.

The story unfolded as Kennedy, Boyer’s daughter, innocently changed her Facebook profile picture, prompting an unexpected and, according to Boyer, inappropriate text from a so-called friend. The friend questioned Kennedy’s relationship with a person of color, stirring emotions in Boyer, who then penned a powerful response.

Boyer’s poignant Facebook post went viral, striking a chord with many who have faced similar challenges. In it, Boyer addresses the insensitive question, emphasizing that the color of her daughter’s boyfriend’s skin doesn’t define him. What truly matters to Boyer is the love and respect he shows her daughter.
