Richard, a white man, had been dating a Black woman named Janet for two years when he proposed to her. It was a romantic proposal on the beach, during sunset.

Janet had no reason to say no. Richard has been nothing but kind and loving to her. He has been supportive of her dreams and has treated her with the utmost respect.

Janet is the only Black woman Richard has ever dated. Their relationship had been great until Richard broke the news of their engagement to his parents.

Richard’s parents had been respectful of Janet during the two years they were dating. But the couple did not expect their attitude would change after learning of the engagement. His father told them:

"Oh, I didn’t know this would come to this point. We do not want Black grandkids."

Janet was deeply insulted by what Richard's father said. She and Richard were both heartbroken and enraged over his parents' blatant discrimination against Janet because of her skin color.
