New interracial relationship

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for 6 months and he is started to meet my family. Just introduced him to my son recently. He has been dragging his feet to introduce me to his mom and just admitted it is due to the fact that I am a white mother to a white child while he is a black man. I am trying to be understanding and respectful to his feelings, I know they are valid but he can’t avoid it forever. (He lives with her currently) any advice on how to navigate this?

I would say just be careful. If he reluctant to let u meet his mom, just be ready for a bad outcome. Not saying the woman will go crazy on u. Its just something to be aware of. My step mom is white and meeting her parents they was very cautious at first since me and my mom are black, but slowly warmed up. Still not close to them, but it was ngl a long journey. Plus not hating on him but dragging it for 6 months is kind of sketchy
