How do I tell my mom that I think I am half black and that she lied?

You should sit down and tell her you want to have an honest conversation. Start off by telling her she’s you mom and that sound recent information has you concerned. You would like to talk about it and you would really appreciate the truth.

Bring it up may cause her to take the offensive, but you need to stay calm in order to keep her calm in you want the answer you are looking for.

Explain to her what has been brought to your attention and exactly how you feel about the situatioin. Let her know that you are old enough to know and deal with whatever, you have a right to know your heritage, if it’s true. Give her time to take it all in and see where it goes and watch her reaction while all this is going down. If you want for feel the need to ask her questions.

Just be prepared though if she’s been keeping this from all this time, she might not be so willing to just open up. With the internet and different services you maybe able to piece things together. However, I would give your mom a chance first and see what happens. It’s simple one step at a time along with reasoning. Go for it.

It’s not as big a deal as you might think. This happened in your mom’s past and she’ll be a little surprised. It’s like having an old memory that was slightly embarrassing. It’s not the end of the world. If your mom is racist against black people that could be a problem. Be straightforward with your questions and be nice. If she gets mad, no matter what, stay calm. Apologize if you think it will make her calm down- if she gets worked up. Lastly just make sure to jump in and go for it. Your mom won’t be mad at you forever. The worst that could happen is that it will be an awkward conversation.
