"I’ll never forgive you. There’s nothing worse than a half-black"
- dad to daughter who insists on dating black boyfriend.
A
young woman has publicly shamed her racist father after he sent a
letter saying her family would leave her homeless and never speak to her
again if she continued to date a black man.
Stephanie Hicks, 19, from
Keller, Texas, shared the vile note on Twitter in which she was told
she had 'disrespected her family in every way' by having a boyfriend
with a different skin color to her.
The dad, who claimed to be a
Christian, gave her a final ultimatum - saying there were three empty
suitcases waiting for her belongings to be packed in if she stayed with
her partner, called Nike.

Nike 'over her family' she would be homeless and he never wanted any
contact with her again, asking her to change her name as he didn't want
to be associated with her

This is the letter that Stephanie posted to Twitter, having scribbled
out some of the words. Her father wrote: He wrote: 'While it may not be
anti-biblical, I know I will never accept it, and I’ll never forgive
you. My belief is that interracial relationships are despicable. Vulgar
and reprehensible'
In another Twitter post, Nike shares a photo of himself with Stephanie who he refers to as his 'boo'
After Stephanie received the letter, Nike suggested that the couple
should split as he didn't want to 'see her homeless', but his girlfriend
refused to give into her racist father
'Mistakes can be forgiven, but you have willingly and consciously chosen a lifestyle of sickening choices, and I won’t tolerate it.
'You have one final opportunity. Either end your relationship with Nike, or face the consequences.
'There are three suitcases emptied and waiting. If you choose this black kid over your parents, then fill them up and leave my house.
'Take my information out of your phone, and DO NOT attempt to contact me again, the rest of your life. Change your name as soon as possible, because I won’t have any association with you. Ever.'
Both Stephanie and Nike have received many messages of support after sharing their story on Twitter
Stephanie's boyfriend later added a post on his Twitter account, reading: 'My girl's dad wrote that letter and once I read it I felt as though the mature thing to do was to end the relationship, I'm not about to see my girl homeless.' But he said that Stephanie didn't want to split and instead told her parents they had broken up, but when the post of her letter went viral her family realized they were still together. It is not known whether her father followed through with his threat.
