<human>: Some background first, my father is sweet as honey and wouldn't hurt a fly. However, he is very racist, to the point he will openly mock people of any other race than our own (Caucasian) and will refer to black people by racial slurs of all types (use your imagination on this one). We all live in a very small, conservative town (northern) that is 99% white. I also want to mention that my dad is a work a holic and is rarely involved in my life (I see him for about 3 hours a day on average) and he has never been involved in my love life/boyfriends before. He knew that I was dating someone, but that was about the extent of it.  

I currently go to school in a different state (southern) and have always been the more liberal of my family. I met a wonderful man (my boyfriend) whom I believe to be the love of my life and plan to be with for a very long time. After almost 1.5 years I'm starting to feel a bit guilty hiding it all from my father. 

The reasons for hiding it from him are because the rest of my immediate family are convinced that he will disown me, never want to talk to me again, and cut me off financially from the family (I can't afford my college without my parents' support). I, however, have a feeling that he will be able to accept it and that he will not disown me like my family is saying and I believe I'm ready to talk to him about it.

I know this probably isn't enough information so feel free to ask me questions, but I want to know what reddit thinks about my situation... Should I wait until I graduate (two years from now) and I'm more on my own to tell him? Or should I take the chance and tell my father now?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: My father is racist and not involved in my life, but I feel guilty about hiding my black boyfriend of 1.5 years from him. Should I tell him or wait until I am on my own?
