Boyfriend Makes Racist comment
Hey Everyone
I am a black female and I currently date (i guess you can say we date) a guy that is from South America. Anyway, so this past weekend he and I were talking and hanging out just enjoying each others company. I guess he had one too many drinks because he was just talking about everything he wanted to do for me and going over everything he has done for me. So my response was something like yes you do take care of me. (i always feed his ego) Then he's on some s*** like "I know im the best you ever had because your probably just used to talking to ni**s that dont have anything. I didnt really respond. I dont know why but I didnt. I dont know if he was being racist or if he honestly just feels that way. He kept saying it over and over though and thats not true because I have dated other black guys that had it together so I dont know where he got that from and to avoid an argument I'll let him think he is.
Now he is isnt technically "white" but he does center himself around whites more but he does have a few black friends. I have never seen him be racist or anything. One time he did say to me that he liked me because I was a sweetheart and most black women are problematic. Other then that he is polite (for the most part).
So what should I say to him or am I over reacting? I didnt tell my friends because (im not racist in no way) but my 3 best friends are black and they think he all about himself anyway so I'm just asking you all to get advice from all over. I currently live in the SouthEastern US.
