Career In Meteorology - Mom hates my skin-color and other races of people?

Mom hates my skin-color and other races of people?

I need help on dealing with a mother who hates my skin completion for whatever reason. Sometimes whenever we are watching TV shows involving models for example, she bursts out with anger and make statements like "Look at those light-skinned women, think that they are better than everybody else with their nose up in the air!" and "There would be no light-skinned/mixed people if other races would stop dipping into the black race." It hurts when she openly makes statements like this because I am light-skinned. My mother has made statements like this so often until yesterday I decided to ask whether or not she thought the same of me because of my skin complection. I was shocked when she said that I hated her instead because of her brown skin. In addition to this, she went on to accuse me of trying to be "too white" because of my current career choice (meteorology) How am I supposed to respond to this?

Baby gurl it's 'complexion' not 'completion'. Black people have issues!
I find this hard to believe that your mother is disappointe that you chose meteorology. I think you are trolling or you have a very warped person for a mother
Wow, your mom sounds like a head case....sorry. I know you have to love her because she's your mom but don't let her dissuade you from your career choice. If it's what you want to do, go for it. Vivian Brown - Weather Channel http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uEMxvAKPetQ/0.jpg
You Are A Troll Fail
You can't make someone not be racist. If it bothers you, tell her about it. If she doesn't listen, or still treats you like dirt because of her jealousy issues then start saving up your money, (if you are underage), and take off. I wouldn't want to put up with that crap.
You can't fix stupid, which is what your mom is, as well as racist. Sooner or latter she'll die alone and embittered, but you have a chance to move on.
Just know your mom has issues and hostility. She is your mom however, so just love her anyway! Not much you can do. Unless instead pointing the finger she is willing to hear you out.
Its no very hard, just tell her this - Men and women are limited not by the place of their birth, not by the color of their skin, but by the size of their hope.”
are you really brown and think u r lighter? tell ur mom how u feel, let her know it hurts ur feelings.
Tell your mother their are full blooded Africans with lighter complexions and that all skin tones are beautiful.
Yeah, your mom is crazy. No offense, but she kind of is. She was probably raised in an environment where she was constantly put down for being dark, so she's turned it around and generally dislikes anyone with light skin. She thinks that because you have light skin, you think you're better than black people. Meteorology is a great career choice and she might think it's "too white" because you'll have to go to school and stuff. She will probably keep acting that way for a long, long time.
Tell her that her gene pool comes form her, and if she didn't have some recessive European genes you wouldn't be your color. Also, the man she made you with must have been light complected too. It is her fault that you are who you are. If she has a beef she should take it up with herself. Also, there are many brilliant Black Mathematicians and Scientist. Just look on Tv. I am light complected too and my mom is dark complected. Thank God she isn't like this, but ironically my auntie is JUST like your mom, so I feel you on this. Stand up to her, don't back down and let her know she only has herself to blame. All Black Amer are mixed-Not our fault.
Tell her to talk to a doctor. They will help her to understand,that the appearance of a person doesn't make them who they are.
Idk why ghetto black women hate on other women so hard
I dont think anyone on here can say that your mother hates you because of your skin colour. Why is skin colour such a big issue? When she makes these comments, try not to get hurt. She's obviously letting her anger get the better of her, and in the end, it will only make her more hurt than you. I dont know what will her mind about your career choice, but go for it anyway, dont let her get in the way of what you want.
wow. shes sooo racist. trying to change racist ppl is like making a pedophile do a grandmother, it just doesn't work
