Monet,
I don't know Diva or her parents, so what I say is pure speculation.
I doubt if her family "hates" this young man -- or even African Americans.
In fact, in many cases, I would guess just the opposite. They might be scared to death. Scared of what their friends will think. Scared of having to move outside their comfort zone. Scared of the difficulties (real and imagined) that their daughter might be getting herself into. Scared to face the reality that things are changing.
Most of all, scared of something the don't understand.
Or, I could be wrong. Maybe they do hate -- but that's a pretty strong word, and a stronger emotion.
Asking God's help can never hurt, though, and I think your advice is sound.
