She should do a DNA test,I feel like she has to be mixed. I'm so glad that her parents(who raised her) gave her love and good roots. She is a beautiful woman. 😍
Exactly. With all this ancestry sites out there, it seems like she should do one of those things before saying she is actually white. They give you the % of each race you have in your dna.
Even the childhood pictures she looks like a mixed little girl. Nahhh Mom's cheated or it could be a cross generational thing but that woman is of mixed race.
True, that’s why they put her up for adoption . Daddy found out that momma cheated . Even after finding her sisters one spews out the N word . It appears that the parents and sibs are racist.
Exactly. Obama was not the first black president. He was 50% black and 50% white, that makes him the first white president just as much as the first black president mathematically speaking. Logically they should have just said the first mixed president. But they couldn't do that could they? What would have been even more correct was just to not mention it at all. There is only one race, the human race. The skin color is nothing more than how much melatonin is being expressed exogenetically or epigenetically at any given time. That can change based on a variety of factors. It has nothing to do with race at all.
@@JustJoe711in America, we have to select it on all our major paperwork having to do with the government. Passports, ID, drivers license, the census, our health care, etc. They want records of who is here. The information is harmless. It’s the thought of what they could do with that information and how they can use it against us.
Mixed, in this case, means at least some part white. You can’t say “there’s no way that this woman is white” any more than you can say there’s no way she’s black. If she’s biracial, then she’s both black AND white. At the end of the day, however, she gets to decide what she is and how she identifies, not any of us here on UA-cam.

The husband had left his wife and then after the moms accident they both signed over parental rights and then got back together and made more kids. Did I get that right, they flew through it fast. Lol
If you even compare her features to her “biological” parents with her adopted parents she looks more like her adopted parents then either of her “biological” parents. There’s no way her “biological father” is her birth father.
"Eric Swain" Yes. Right. No one wants to be the same. People claim to be Catholic or Protestant. People claim to be Swiss or Norwegian. People claim to be Mexican or Puerto Rican. Irish do not want to give up their culture of drinking beer and fighting in bars and believing in leprechauns and they definitely do not want to become like the British drinking tea at noon. Blacks want to identify with their traditions of braids and eating collard greens, corn bread and fried chicken instead of take up the food of white people such as hot dogs and apple pie and having crew cuts. And don't forget that Apaches did not want to be like Navahos. Oh, what are you willing to give up to be like someone else with different culture or religion and practices than the ones you were taught and grew up with in order not to put emphasis on these things?
As a someone who grew up not knowing the truth about my bio-family and being placed in state care then foster care it warms my heart that she is helping the forgotten children!
Judging from her childhood photos, she’s biracial, a blind person could see that. Doesn’t matter what color she is, she still lived and is living her life how she wants. All that matters in life.
I showed this clip to my blind neighbour. Your assumption is 100 % wrong. Even when i held the screen in front of her face, she still couldn't see that she was biracial. Maybe because she has no eyes.
I’m sure she’s heard all the logic. She don’t want the truth. She wants to believe she’s white. No adoption agency would have let a black family adopt a white child back then.
@@TheKelliLam She made no comment on what race she wants to be. She simply said that her biological parents (on paper since her mother could have gotten pregnant by a black dude) were indeed white. Rewatch the video
@@TheKelliLam Exactly! And the rules of Jim Crow didn't allow a black man to go anywhere near a white woman or a white girl.I think the mother told the agency that her child was mixed and they knew it looking at her.
She looks very different to her sisters, her father must have been black. I think the woman's husband knew that, that's why she was given up for adoption.
Sometimes adopted parents are more of parents than biological parents. Every child deserves to be loves and even tho this lady lost her biological parents she had been raised by two amazing people that took her in❤️
I bet you anything the “adopted” father is her biological father and the “adopted” mom was the wife that just took the child in as her own. Like everyone else is saying, she’s clearly bi racial and somebody ain’t telling the truth!
It's possible that either one or both of her bio parents was/were biracial. Look at her bio dad at 1:45 and her bio sister's hair at 2:19. The photo of her bio dad at 1:45 reminds me of many biracial people I know. Also, for her bio sister's hair to be that wavy & curly in the middle years, when wavy and curly haired middle aged people normally find their hair losing the waves and curls makes me suspect that all her siblings are biracial also, but just did not show it as readily as she did. I've met enough biracial people in my life to know that many biracial people can pass for lily white folk. Her bio family may have given her up for adoption because she would have exposed the bio family secret..... She was born in different times. However, it appears that fate put her in the loving home she deserved. Her bio family appear to be toxic.
The sister called her a niggah because Earl made the mother give up the baby and never gat over the fact that she loved and had a baby with a black guy.
What a lot of people don't understand is genes can be passed down without your parents phenotype looking like them. In Africa, there are people who are born looking biracial and their parents are very dark skinned. If you look deeper you will find one or both parents have an ancestor of mixed race or ethnicity.
I think she had a different dad. The adoption agency wouldn’t have given a white child to her adoptive black parents.( not in that time. A DNA test would tell the rest of the story). Happy she had a great childhood and wonderful parents.
Back in those days Black American Communities actually existed (unlike now) and the mass majority of Black Americans within those communities were very prominent and successful people. As a matter of fact, Black American Communities didn’t need any help or assistance from white America at all. Black America was so well established that white America was frequently humiliated by their own inability to keep up with Black America and Black America’s new age ways of doing everything from running a household to owning a business et cetera. If any white American person, back then, needed assistance from a Black owned agency it was a very humble decision to reach out. The government intervened in the most evil way when they realized that white Americans were constantly reaching out to the “colored” communities for help with the most basic needs which included adoption services.
"am I black or am I white? It doesn't matter to me because I'm not changing." Nor should she change who she is just because of what her racial background is. She seems like a woman with a lot of love in her heart
She has an African nose. She certainly has some African blood, but then again, who does not? The most boring subjects on planet Earth are Race and Religion.
I don't think she feels that she is full white. She even said in not so many words that her mom was a hoe that got around. So there was a possibility the white man wasn't her father. 2:02
Kayla Harris did you go there miss? 😂😂😂😂😂 (cracking the fu#k up) and I'm a avid listener of Paul Mooney love your comment even though you made me fall out my chair Lol 😂
There’s is that hiccup in the story were Daisy had an accident on her way to work and husband had left the family. They made more kids after giving Verda up. 👀
Keep in mind that there are whites whom have large noses and not all black ppl have large noses so we as ppl can't always rely on ones features because clearly there are many black ppl with amaller features and many whites walking around here tht are actually half black
CoolhandLukeSkywalkr what makes you think it was the “adoptive” father who had the affair? I just assumed her white mama was fooling around and her and her white husband put the baby up for adoption. I don’t think she knew the guy who adopted the baby but then again idk
Chile please. That nose, those lips, and and olive complexion? Daisy was shacking up with a black man down the road, got pregnant and had a baby, gave that baby up for adoption and Earl left the family after that. Simple and plain.
Her mother looks African, but she probably did have a romance with a black man. Earl should have not made the 5 kids suffer because of a possible affair.
while yes, doing a dna test would be interesting, she clearly has a strong sense of self and grew up loved by good parents. she’s turned out a better woman than her siblings, that’s for sure. this is a woman with all she needs, a family, a culture, and a life
th3azscorpio. When I read your comment, I stopped dead still. Maybe you might explain something to me since your photo indicates you are from an African American heritage. You mentioned her hairline. So many times I have noticed that hairlines ……especially on the women……are really far back on the head. Is this a common trait of an African American ? I truly am interested. I have a great grandchild who is mixed, and even from birth, her hairline was further back than we usually see. Thank you so much ! ❤️
Tiger Woods thought he could claim the parts of his genetics that he admired, the world taught him differently. Now he knows that HE"S BLACK! We come in all skin hues.
HE's mixed period. Dont confused racism to people's racial makeup, his mother is asian not black. his father is mixed as well, he's not wesley snipes or whoopi goldberg, he's clearly mixed,
@@tiana1017 I don't think that racists or coded-laws are interested in technicalities. DNA would prove that the vast majority of us have melanin-mixtures. This world assigns us by what is predominant, and we live in this world. It's wise for people of color, especially those where pigmentation and or features are obvious, not to assume that they can "pass" or define their ethnicity in all situations. There is the truth and there is a reality, the two don't always blend as well as they perhaps should. I'm as pigmented as both of your examples are and my DNA shows my ancestry covers all but a few continents, twice in Europe. I would not try to claim anything other than what I am and appear to be. My granddaughter has a Black mother and a White father, her DNA shows that she's literally half of each, split right down the middle. Ask her what she is and I bet she says she's Black. A lot lighter than Tiger and this woman, but Black none the less.
Yep. Resentment over the affair ...and the fact that her new family could provide her with middle-class comforts that her birth family probably couldn't to provide. A combination of racism, jealousy, and resentment over the fact that their mom was having an affair with not just any man, but a "forbidden" man. She was better off without that family of bigots. It's not her loss at all.
I think the mother had an affair with a black man and didn't want anyone to know. Back then biracial relationships was not allow. This is why the mother gave her up. I don't think she is Earl's biological daughter.
Is she serious? Or just delusional? It is obvious she is biracial, even as a child. If she were white they would not have let a black family adopt her back in that time period, come on now, use a little common sense, she would have been placed with a white family if they thought she was a white child but anyone with EYES could see she wasn't. If her mother did step out on her husband, then one of them was passing for white. She lived her 70 years thinking she was black because she was! I wouldn't have embarrassed myself coming out with this nonsense. Did her sisters get adopted by black families?????? ahhhhhhh..........NO!
Her bio mom died 'accidently'. Her bio dad left the family. Her mom probly cheated and he found out, killed her and left. They didn't say she did a genetics test. If she did, she's probly biracial. The investigating journalist did a bad job on this story.
It's not nearly as black and white. It can take anyone to tell she's mixed-race. She doesn't have to be purely of African American descent to be considered
@@alluringbliss4165 That's a pretty broad and absurd statement. Most educated people of any race including whites could care less what race you are. At the end of the day it comes down to how you treat your fellow human being. Only ignorant trash care about your race.
No offense to her parents, experiences or lineage but I feel like Daisy had an affair with a Black man and her family was promptly disbanded when her husband Earl found out.
@@fantasytreatment6579 but different race of a past ancestor doesn't pop out randomly generations later if no new gen3s of that type haven't been added. That's an old myth. My grandfather was .5 Indian .5 British. People at our church wouldn't let their kids or grandkids marry any of his descendants in case a "brown baby" appeared. He had six kids with his white wife....none were any browner than his beautiful olive skin. He had 23 grandkids, we all white and many of us blonde and blue eyed. I resented those church people for stomping on relationships over 3 generations.
You get 50% of each of your parents' DNA (from egg and sperm), and what you inherit is random. I took a DNA test, and I had some percentages of DNA that was from a 7th great-grandparent and further back. My siblings have 50% of my DNA, but they also inherited certain ethnicities that I did not inherit from a distant ancestor.
@@joywebster2678 it is possible. What you inherit from each parent is random. One child in your line of siblings can inherit a random ethnicity that you did not, or they can inherit more or less of a certain ethnicity that you inherited.
@@xxarianahiltonxx5116 so ur saying a lineage of white folk with one .5 Indian man is going to spit out a black baby? I don't think so. But yes some of us have Norwegian genes and others have British isles genes.
Honey you are clearly biracial which is why you were given to that black family. Ray Charles can see that her biological father is black so why is this news?
The DNA results are in Verda Byrd is WHITE!!!!! If you would like her to speak at your church or group event please contact her agent at smlong7@yahoo.com, please state your name event with date and time. Be sure to leave a contact telephone number.
She hasn't made her DNA available publicly yet but you can see all of her original documents from birth to adoption and letters written by her adoptive mother in her book. I have the book if you want to purchase it.
She wrote a whole book about it. What is this? 😂😂😂WE'RE ALL BIRACIAL. All Afro Americans are biracial. I say Afro American because all black Americans ancestors didn't come from Africa. I know I'm Native and African. If love to see exactly what tribe my ancestors came from in Africa. I know what tribe my G. Grandmother is from as a Native. It's amazing how no one acknowledges this.
She said it herself "sometimes Daisy might not have been the most upright mother" ...so her mother prob did have a little dalliance with a black man which resulted in her conception.
I thought I was Italian my whole life . Took a dna test and found out I was Italian and MENA. … and Jewish . Then I found out my grandparents weren’t married and they were both married before to other people. It’s been a ride for sure
Exactly. If her mother did not cheat then she or her husband were passing. If I saw this woman I would see a light skinned black woman. Maybe she looked more white when she was younger but her hair as a little girl is black hair. This woman is bi-racial and she is claiming white because of the birth certificate which list both parents as white. She seems to be a peace with whatever she is which is most important.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr It's not rocket science but it also might not be a fact. Perhaps her adopted father's or mother's kin folk slept with the white woman. I mean the father is married to her adoptive mother so why is it automatically the black man who you assume cheated on his black wife to sleep with this white woman??? Perhaps it was his brother or the wife's brother or a cousin of theirs who slept with the white woman. An assumption must be proved before it can be taken as a fact. Just pointing out a myriad of scenarios.
Kimmy I know how being mixed works. I have white mother... calling her a black woman isn’t wrong. She is in fact black. Mixed folks don’t have to identify as “mixed” or “biracial.
Imo her father is black because even with her fair skin tone her features look African. She's a beautiful lady and was raised by wonderful parents and as part of the black community so that's what's in her heart ❤ no test can change that, I can't say as I'm white and it's not my place but I would consider her African American and it breaks my heart what her biological family said to her and how they treated her she'd have been better never meeting them and I'm guessing the apple doesn't fall far when it comes to them which futher makes me feel her bio father was black because she was told her mother gave her up when she became ill and the father relinquished his rights(as they were married he would by law be her father) yet she had more children later which they kept how if she was so ill she couldn't take care of this child? My guess is she liked messing around with black men behind her husbands back but when the baby was born and it was clear her husband wasn't the daddy he wasn't willing to raise her as his and she didn't want the "shame" that came along with having a mixed race baby so they concocted this story to rid themselves of the child before she grew up and it became more noticeable. I'm happy she ended up with the family she deserved god bless her and the souls of her real parents the ones who raised her and god forgive the souls of her birth givers.
I could never claim a connection to a family who would deny me over my race. I would not speak proudly or reveal that I had a connection to them. She is a good person I can tell and God bless her always.
Regarding the video, she definitely looks like she has a mixed, racial background. Sad that she can't have a relationship with her biological siblings, but glad that she seems to have had a good life. Regarding many comments on here, and other videos dealing with race, I notice that people often say they don't understand why so much emphasis is put on race, color, culture, but it is those things that are part of who we are. There should not be a problem celebrating your uniqueness or cherishing similarities with a particular group. The problem arises when people attribute negative traits, or beliefs of superiority, based on these things. Considering the centuries old issues and atrocities this nation has faced because of racism (belief of a superior race), it is not hard to believe that it won't just fade away. There are so many negative things embedded in our American culture based on race that are still present even today. Not talking about it does not make it go away. It just allows those that have those beliefs to continue to behave in their hatred and those that suffer from it to continue to suffer. Recognizing there is no basis or need for racism, and people of all races and cultures spreading that message, is key. So, let's call out those that try to disrupt with their negative beliefs/actions. Let's not be afraid to talk or hear about differences. Let's celebrate all of God's creation.
Wh"y isn't a DNA test part of this story? I just finished reading "The Stranger in my Genes" and have just started "Strangers No More" by Bill Griffeth and I am pondering identity. To what degree does your upbringing matter? Your DNA? I guess it's the long standing "nature vs nurture" question. But this woman might be interested in what her genes reveal.
@@valeriehurt3050 says he left when she was 6 months old. And we dont even have half the story. Notice how ugly she spoke of her mother who kept her until she was in some freak accident. Could be she said ugly things to them. Tbat may not be an excuse to use such an ugly word, but people say things when angered and emotional.
DEN. The story still has merit. It again shows the permeating stench of racism. Which is obviously what she got from her so-called sisters. If she lived as a a Black woman and is found to be white; she got treated and was called the N word by those people. Did they not see her picture? I guess it got too black for them. I wouldn't care if I NEVER saw them again. People let you know what they are if you pay attention.
Verda, you are lovely! you look like my momma, we are considered white. But I found out that my ancestors came from the UK, native am. tribes, the Mediterranean, and Africa! My family did not teach me racism, and even now I love all people. Blessings VERDA!
She may be mixed she looks like she may have had a different dad to her siblings, in the racial climate back then could also be why they gave her away for adoption. Which is horrible but to her benefit though she looks like she had a great life with amazing parents. Being adopted for her was a blessing.
Cheri White She is so-called,fortnately she's a real Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah. I love her big nose,big lips,and big brown eyes. Unmistakably,a soul sister.
Epic Quintessence That wasn’t racist. A common characteristic in black people is a big nose and lips. You don’t really know the definition of racist 😂 Racist = discrimination. This person just called her beautiful...😂
Same for my grandmother and great grandmother's. I traced them all the way back to the persons who enslaved them. This is on my maternal grandmother line and her parents/grandparents.
Sorry but wouldnt that make your mom white. If someone looked paler than this woman what makes them black? If someone is 75% white 25%black theyre still called black.
Well if she is lighter skin toned then this lady she is white. She maybe African American but she isn't black. Skin colour doesn't define someone, stop fixating on skin colour it is racist.
@@friendlyoldbum9182 he didn't sound fixated at all to me. I think his response had more to do with the lady in the story being surprised about having African ancestry despite her features. It's speaking on the history of those that passed because of their complexion. Nothing about that was racist. He may used the word black instead of African American doesn't at all sounds like he's fixated on color. Just my opinion.
@@stephaniejames4940 That's the point, people aren't black or white (or yellow or brown). There is a trend with people that if you have more then %10 African or Aboriginal heritage that they are now a "black" person. It is a racists idea lingering from the concept that only %100 european white people are white, everyone else is coloured. Technically everyone is mixed race or we are the same people, it all depends on how far back you look. Especially if you consider the Toba event (super volcano) which left the global population estimated to under 10,000.. The fixated on colour wasn't supposed to be directed to the OP, it was more a broad statement for anyone that read it.
For 35 years it was always said that I couldn’t hold my alcohol because I was “Irish.” I did an ancestry DNA test and learned I am not Irish, not even a drop! I am 45% English, 39% Native American and the rest is East Indian and Neanderthal. I didn’t know my father. I can’t hold my liquor because I am native.
And there is scientific proof for that. Where I live, we have a real problem with Hispanics and DUI's and no one - probably due to fear of being called "racist" - reminds our Hispanic population that they have a genetic factor that makes it difficult for their bodies to process alcohol and should then stay away from it. And so we have too many dead on our streets and highways due to alcohol abuse. Of course, it's not 100% the fault of Hispanics, but heavily so. :(
Went looking for more information on Ms. Byrd. Found photos of her as a young woman. She is definitely mixed. In her 20s she had big fluffy hair & she was darker. I'm wondering if anyone had done a DNA test on her. That would resolve the issue.
She looks like my fair skinned Grandmother who “ passed” as white. Her and her twin look nothing like her other siblings... way more to this story that I’ll never know because some secrets follow people into the grave.
I strongly expect that a DNA test would show that she's only related to her biological mother and not her father. Her attitude about life and her skin colour is beautiful.

I’m sure she’s heard all the logic. She don’t want the truth. She wants to believe she’s white. No adoption agency would have let a black family adopt a white child back then.
@@TheKelliLam She made no comment on what race she wants to be. She simply said that her biological parents (on paper since her mother could have gotten pregnant by a black dude) were indeed white. Rewatch the video
@@TheKelliLam Exactly! And the rules of Jim Crow didn't allow a black man to go anywhere near a white woman or a white girl.I think the mother told the agency that her child was mixed and they knew it looking at her.
"adona724" but would they agree to it?
No it wouldn't actually, siblings don't get exactly the same identical genes
She looks very different to her sisters, her father must have been black. I think the woman's husband knew that, that's why she was given up for adoption.
Secondly, there was no way a black couple could have adopted a white child in those days.
browneyedgirl4268 that makes sense
browneyedgirl4268, they have the same nose.
Yup I totally agree!..Earl probably figured it out and left
agreeable
Sometimes adopted parents are more of parents than biological parents. Every child deserves to be loves and even tho this lady lost her biological parents she had been raised by two amazing people that took her in❤️
I bet you anything the “adopted” father is her biological father and the “adopted” mom was the wife that just took the child in as her own. Like everyone else is saying, she’s clearly bi racial and somebody ain’t telling the truth!
She needs to do a DNA test. The fact is that she looks racially mixed in all her pictures.
Hello!!!!!!
Exactly and that’s why her biological parents gave her away, it’s obvious!
@@vineetasjourney8017 naw they didn’t give her away, the mom died didnt she? And the dad left the entire the family.
It's possible that either one or both of her bio parents was/were biracial. Look at her bio dad at 1:45 and her bio sister's hair at 2:19. The photo of her bio dad at 1:45 reminds me of many biracial people I know. Also, for her bio sister's hair to be that wavy & curly in the middle years, when wavy and curly haired middle aged people normally find their hair losing the waves and curls makes me suspect that all her siblings are biracial also, but just did not show it as readily as she did. I've met enough biracial people in my life to know that many biracial people can pass for lily white folk. Her bio family may have given her up for adoption because she would have exposed the bio family secret..... She was born in different times. However, it appears that fate put her in the loving home she deserved. Her bio family appear to be toxic.
She's biracial. Daisy cheated on Earl. I imagine that is why he left her.
Mari Mari she doesn't 😪
The sister called her a niggah because Earl made the mother give up the baby and never gat over the fact that she loved and had a baby with a black guy.
Yep, very common.
My thoughts exactly. I also wouldn’t be surprised if her mother’s fall was no accident.
Weird that no one is mentioning sexual assault. A lot of women in that era were assaulted and kept quiet about it...
She definitely is biracial. She has so many African-American features😊.
Dovie Jones Chile she’s black. My lord
Dovie Jones lmao well Elizabeth Warren has Native American features so I guess it could be true.
Yes she does... Definitely
Like that nose
Some brother was tapping that
What a lot of people don't understand is genes can be passed down without your parents phenotype looking like them. In Africa, there are people who are born looking biracial and their parents are very dark skinned. If you look deeper you will find one or both parents have an ancestor of mixed race or ethnicity.
Righr. That could be why they chose to adopt her specifically.
I think she had a different dad. The adoption agency wouldn’t have given a white child to her adoptive black parents.( not in that time. A DNA test would tell the rest of the story).
Happy she had a great childhood and wonderful parents.
Back in those days Black American Communities actually existed (unlike now) and the mass majority of Black Americans within those communities were very prominent and successful people. As a matter of fact, Black American Communities didn’t need any help or assistance from white America at all. Black America was so well established that white America was frequently humiliated by their own inability to keep up with Black America and Black America’s new age ways of doing everything from running a household to owning a business et cetera. If any white American person, back then, needed assistance from a Black owned agency it was a very humble decision to reach out. The government intervened in the most evil way when they realized that white Americans were constantly reaching out to the “colored” communities for help with the most basic needs which included adoption services.
This makes sense too.
They would need DNA of people in her genetic circle: family, extended family or distant relatives. There aren't "black" or "white" genes.
They did a dna test she’s whitw
@@nofinn1044 white as in European?
"am I black or am I white? It doesn't matter to me because I'm not changing."
Nor should she change who she is just because of what her racial background is. She seems like a woman with a lot of love in her heart
HER RACIAL BACKGROUND IS HUMAN. BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE RACE THE HUMAN RACE!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed
Not much integrity though 🤔

She has an African nose. She certainly has some African blood, but then again, who does not? The most boring subjects on planet Earth are Race and Religion.
The fact that she thinks she's full white is crazy..ma'am look at your features..
You took the tea right out of my cup!
I don't think she feels that she is full white. She even said in not so many words that her mom was a hoe that got around. So there was a possibility the white man wasn't her father. 2:02
Gotta watch the video before commenting. This is why we have to fact check everything.
I wonder why she hasn't done a DNA test ?
You missed the point , entirely .
Ummm, I think that Daisy was seeing someone on the side, because her nose looks a lot like mine.
Well there you have it! True science at its best
This lady needs a DNA test. Clearly mom stepped out on dad.
Exactly thank you
yes. she doesn't look like either of her "biological parents".

What is wrong with her sister-you meet your African American relative and you use the “N” word because? It is amazing how outrageous people can be.
@Chet Ghent racist much?

Jen Jen, um, or MAYBE, they were BOTH creeping around......makes more sense.
There’s is that hiccup in the story were Daisy had an accident on her way to work and husband had left the family. They made more kids after giving Verda up. 👀

Could be a relative was dark skinned down the line, it can skip generations that’s be known for years
bellathelady Yep!
bellathelady so true
Her nose looks nothing like her biological parents’. We all know what had happened...
Exactly... her momma was crazy
Keep in mind that there are whites whom have large noses and not all black ppl have large noses so we as ppl can't always rely on ones features because clearly there are many black ppl with amaller features and many whites walking around here tht are actually half black
Her bio mom was messing around, that’s what happened
Yes, the guy who "adopted" her was the biological father and he had an affair with the white lady, this isn't rocket science.
CoolhandLukeSkywalkr what makes you think it was the “adoptive” father who had the affair? I just assumed her white mama was fooling around and her and her white husband put the baby up for adoption. I don’t think she knew the guy who adopted the baby but then again idk
Chile please. That nose, those lips, and and olive complexion? Daisy was shacking up with a black man down the road, got pregnant and had a baby, gave that baby up for adoption and Earl left the family after that. Simple and plain.
Her mother looks African, but she probably did have a romance with a black man. Earl should have not made the 5 kids suffer because of a possible affair.
@@kschindle1 Her mother looks like Helga Pataki . Nothing about that woman is African. I don't know which video you were watching love.

while yes, doing a dna test would be interesting, she clearly has a strong sense of self and grew up loved by good parents. she’s turned out a better woman than her siblings, that’s for sure. this is a woman with all she needs, a family, a culture, and a life
Nonsense. She's definitely mixed. Even as a little girl, she looked heavily mixed. That nose, lips, and hairline are the dead giveaway.
She's definitely mixed.
Definitely
She does look like her sisters and she looks like her biological father too.
th3azscorpio. When I read your comment, I stopped dead still. Maybe you might explain something to me since your photo indicates you are from an African American heritage. You mentioned her hairline. So many times I have noticed that hairlines ……especially on the women……are really far back on the head. Is this a common trait of an African American ? I truly am interested. I have a great grandchild who is mixed, and even from birth, her hairline was further back than we usually see. Thank you so much ! ❤️
You do realize natural genetic variation exists? She could legitimately be "white".
THIS IS CLEARLY A BI-RACIAL WOMAN. STEVIE FREAKING WONDER COULD SEE THIS.
Tiger Woods thought he could claim the parts of his genetics that he admired, the world taught him differently. Now he knows that HE"S BLACK! We come in all skin hues.
And Ray Charles!!!
HE's mixed period. Dont confused racism to people's racial makeup, his mother is asian not black. his father is mixed as well, he's not wesley snipes or whoopi goldberg, he's clearly mixed,
@@tiana1017 I don't think that racists or coded-laws are interested in technicalities. DNA would prove that the vast majority of us have melanin-mixtures. This world assigns us by what is predominant, and we live in this world. It's wise for people of color, especially those where pigmentation and or features are obvious, not to assume that they can "pass" or define their ethnicity in all situations. There is the truth and there is a reality, the two don't always blend as well as they perhaps should.
I'm as pigmented as both of your examples are and my DNA shows my ancestry covers all but a few continents, twice in Europe. I would not try to claim anything other than what I am and appear to be. My granddaughter has a Black mother and a White father, her DNA shows that she's literally half of each, split right down the middle. Ask her what she is and I bet she says she's Black. A lot lighter than Tiger and this woman, but Black none the less.

That is the point : she is Mixed but she is Not White! Bi-racial at best...
@@juliannesharpe278 she's not black either
She looks black with fair skin. Her biological father could have been black.
Your sisters resent you because your existence proves that their mother cheated on their Dad.👀 Keep researching and blessings to you!!💗
Yep. Resentment over the affair ...and the fact that her new family could provide her with middle-class comforts that her birth family probably couldn't to provide. A combination of racism, jealousy, and resentment over the fact that their mom was having an affair with not just any man, but a "forbidden" man. She was better off without that family of bigots. It's not her loss at all.
I think the mother had an affair with a black man and didn't want anyone to know. Back then biracial relationships was not allow. This is why the mother gave her up. I don't think she is Earl's biological daughter.
@@stjohnssoup why tf do you assume that
Stay black

@@StarDivine777 She looks like her mother but not her father
Is she serious? Or just delusional? It is obvious she is biracial, even as a child. If she were white they would not have let a black family adopt her back in that time period, come on now, use a little common sense, she would have been placed with a white family if they thought she was a white child but anyone with EYES could see she wasn't. If her mother did step out on her husband, then one of them was passing for white. She lived her 70 years thinking she was black because she was! I wouldn't have embarrassed myself coming out with this nonsense. Did her sisters get adopted by black families?????? ahhhhhhh..........NO!
You hit all the correct points. I was thinking the same things. Story seems very stupid and silly
Her bio mom died 'accidently'. Her bio dad left the family. Her mom probly cheated and he found out, killed her and left. They didn't say she did a genetics test. If she did, she's probly biracial. The investigating journalist did a bad job on this story.
I AGREE...SO TRUE!!
God bless her this is hilarious and funny but also heart warming.

@@fantasytreatment6579 but different race of a past ancestor doesn't pop out randomly generations later if no new gen3s of that type haven't been added. That's an old myth.

You get 50% of each of your parents' DNA (from egg and sperm), and what you inherit is random.

Ma'am. You are bi-racial. Your mom knows what's up.
Yup she does look like Biracial
She said it herself "sometimes Daisy might not have been the most upright mother" ...so her mother prob did have a little dalliance with a black man which resulted in her conception.
I thought I was Italian my whole life . Took a dna test and found out I was Italian and MENA. … and Jewish . Then I found out my grandparents weren’t married and they were both married before to other people. It’s been a ride for sure

Lol aint no passing all her siblings are white European features except her...the mom cheated ...and the dad left her ..
Exactly. If her mother did not cheat then she or her husband were passing. If I saw this woman I would see a light skinned black woman. Maybe she looked more white when she was younger but her hair as a little girl is black hair. This woman is bi-racial and she is claiming white because of the birth certificate which list both parents as white. She seems to be a peace with whatever she is which is most important.
The guy who "adopted" her was the actual biological father and he had an illicit affair with the white lady, this isn't rocket science.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr It's not rocket science but it also might not be a fact. Perhaps her adopted father's or mother's kin folk slept with the white woman. I mean the father is married to her adoptive mother so why is it automatically the black man who you assume cheated on his black wife to sleep with this white woman??? Perhaps it was his brother or the wife's brother or a cousin of theirs who slept with the white woman. An assumption must be proved before it can be taken as a fact.

Imo her father is black because even with her fair skin tone her features look African. She's a beautiful lady and was raised by wonderful parents and as part of the black community so that's what's in her heart ❤ no test can change that, I can't say as I'm white and it's not my place but I would consider her African American and it breaks my heart what her biological family said to her and how they treated her she'd have been better never meeting them and I'm guessing the apple doesn't fall far when it comes to them which futher makes me feel her bio father was black because she was told her mother gave her up when she became ill and the father relinquished his rights(as they were married he would by law be her father) yet she had more children later which they kept how if she was so ill she couldn't take care of this child? My guess is she liked messing around with black men behind her husbands back but when the baby was born and it was clear her husband wasn't the daddy he wasn't willing to raise her as his and she didn't want the "shame" that came along with having a mixed race baby so they concocted this story to rid themselves of the child before she grew up and it became more noticeable. I'm happy she ended up with the family she deserved god bless her and the souls of her real parents the ones who raised her and god forgive the souls of her birth givers.
It will def tell her who her relatives are who can then tell her who her father was.
I could never claim a connection to a family who would deny me over my race. I would not speak proudly or reveal that I had a connection to them.
She is a good person I can tell and God bless her always.

Regarding the video, she definitely looks like she has a mixed, racial background. Sad that she can't have a relationship with her biological siblings, but glad that she seems to have had a good life. Regarding many comments on here, and other videos dealing with race, I notice that people often say they don't understand why so much emphasis is put on race, color, culture, but it is those things that are part of who we are. There should not be a problem celebrating your uniqueness or cherishing similarities with a particular group. The problem arises when people attribute negative traits, or beliefs of superiority, based on these things. Considering the centuries old issues and atrocities this nation has faced because of racism (belief of a superior race), it is not hard to believe that it won't just fade away. There are so many negative things embedded in our American culture based on race that are still present even today. Not talking about it does not make it go away. It just allows those that have those beliefs to continue to behave in their hatred and those that suffer from it to continue to suffer. Recognizing there is no basis or need for racism, and people of all races and cultures spreading that message, is key. So, let's call out those that try to disrupt with their negative beliefs/actions. Let's not be afraid to talk or hear about differences. Let's celebrate all of God's creation.

She may be mixed she looks like she may have had a different dad to her siblings, in the racial climate back then could also be why they gave her away for adoption.

@@friendlyoldbum9182 he didn't sound fixated at all to me. I think his response had more to do with the lady in the story being surprised about having African ancestry despite her features. It's speaking on the history of those that passed because of their complexion. Nothing about that was racist. He may used the word black instead of African American doesn't at all sounds like he's fixated on color. Just my opinion.
@@stephaniejames4940 That's the point, people aren't black or white (or yellow or brown). There is a trend with people that if you have more then %10 African or Aboriginal heritage that they are now a "black" person. It is a racists idea lingering from the concept that only %100 european white people are white, everyone else is coloured. Technically everyone is mixed race or we are the same people, it all depends on how far back you look. Especially if you consider the Toba event (super volcano) which left the global population estimated to under 10,000..
The fixated on colour wasn't supposed to be directed to the OP, it was more a broad statement for anyone that read it.
She reminds me on a young Etta James.
A OLD ETTA, YES!
Not exactly young @70
Young!? 🤔
For 35 years it was always said that I couldn’t hold my alcohol because I was “Irish.” I did an ancestry DNA test and learned I am not Irish, not even a drop! I am 45% English, 39% Native American and the rest is East Indian and Neanderthal. I didn’t know my father. I can’t hold my liquor because I am native.
And there is scientific proof for that. Where I live, we have a real problem with Hispanics and DUI's and no one - probably due to fear of being called "racist" - reminds our Hispanic population that they have a genetic factor that makes it difficult for their bodies to process alcohol and should then stay away from it. And so we have too many dead on our streets and highways due to alcohol abuse. Of course, it's not 100% the fault of Hispanics, but heavily so. :(
They signed over their right because she’s the child of a Black man. She needs to be realistic here.
Went looking for more information on Ms. Byrd. Found photos of her as a young woman. She is definitely mixed. In her 20s she had big fluffy hair & she was darker. I'm wondering if anyone had done a DNA test on her. That would resolve the issue.
Daisy was creeping with a brother and that's why she was given up ... just my opinion.
April Rains Honest one too
He was "driving" Miss Daisy sho nuff😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂
Nah she clearly mixed she one of us, welcome with open arms , sister
❤
She's biracial, mixed, ambiguous, or one drop rule black person. It's not that hard to understand. My God. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
She looks like my fair skinned Grandmother who “ passed” as white. Her and her twin look nothing like her other siblings... way more to this story that I’ll never know because some secrets follow people into the grave.
She has a twin sister.
Naaaaah, that's not a caucasian woman! She's biracial at the very least. That NOSE and those LIPS speak volumes!
Her hair as a little girl!!!!
That part about the N word caught me off guard ngl
yeah that pretty much tells you why they gave her away.
She’s black and I don’t care what anyone says...
Why doesn't she take a DNA test and find out once and for all?
Because she lives in denial and wants to be classed as white
I strongly expect that a DNA test would show that she's only related to her biological mother and not her father.
Her attitude about life and her skin colour is beautiful.
@Grace you know how the old song goes "your daddy ain't your daddy but you daddy don't know ". Only DNA test will show for sure.
Don’t think that is her biological father.
EARL WAS NOT HER DADDY, HER DADDY WAS A BLACK MAN
This women's dad is a black man. Her mom was cheating IJS
She found out she was "white", "then ran off to buy that crazy wig? 👺😂😭
😂
She got black when she met her half sisters cuz she had them braids. 🤣
Noooooo, i wasn't ready for that!!!! 😄😅😆
😳 Last time I seen a wig like that was at party city.. Etta james mom was a rolling stone smh!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Lol stop it
