      I love when both mothers and fathers take parenthood seriously and don’t rush to date after having a kids. Men typically get a pass, so you choosing to still be the father you are and sacrifice that when you could easily date without judgment says a lot about your character. You’re amazing ❤

Americans made Black into a culture rather than a race and that’s why other group that share some of black Americans characteristics want to be separated and known as anything other than black. A blind person will detect easily that this woman is not your typical black (n*****). It goes deeper than the eyes and y’all know it. That’s why y’all claim smart black people that speak proper as acting white. Y’all the gatekeepers of everybody else’s life but your own.

      So, if she is your friend from college, I urge you to watch this again, and really pay attention to the way the media portrays this story, and then compare it to what you personally know about her life and story and ask yourself if you can't trust the media to really tell the story like it is.
      If you were the one retelling the story, would you do it exactly the way the media did?
      Then, consider if the media really is 100% accurate 100% of the time or if they're just trying to spin stories and profit off of it.

      You know her Dad truly believed he was her Bio Dad. Sounds like she was truly raised with more LOVE THAN MANY OR MOST KIDS HAVE. She was truly Blessed!
      The fact the Grands gave her the warning If anyone asks… should have been a huge clue.
      I’m sure with all the Love she grew up with. She had to have grown up very lonely as well. She didn’t fit in with the Blacks or the whites.

    I'm watching this and think the same thing as everyone else: how is it that nobody in that sundown town gave this girl any trouble when she was growing up? But then I remembered something I went through years ago. We moved from Chicago to Texas in the 80s. I was literally the only black in every one of my classes in high school. I was already homesick and felt like I wasn't going to be making any friends here soon! There were kids who were very unapologetically bigoted and made no bones about NOT wanting me in their class. What's fascinating is that a lot of the white kids for whatever reason took me in - and made me feel less homesick. Even more incredible, the kids who were the most outspoken bigots eventually left me alone and even started being kinda cool with me, and I'm sure that's because of the majority of the other white kids who befriended me- and would stand up for me if any of them gave me any trouble. Sometimes, people can really surprise you in very good ways.

      As a BW that went to private school, I always knew from a young age that biracials were treated better than full black people. My best friend was biracial and they accepted her but rejected me. It's been this way since the dawn of the United States. They are much more accepting of them than us. I've noticed the same thing in my all yt sorority and college too. This is why I will never call them black actually. Even during slavery they were in the house, and received much better treatment. Sometimes their fathers left them their properties and educated them too. You should look up some of their stories. One mullato boy said the yt family, even his fathers wife spoiled him and gave him whatever he wanted. It's pretty interesting really. They know the difference that's for sure!

Some fathers had affairs with slave or free black women and openly claimed their children and provided for them but many were the result of SA and were totally ignored and treated as badly as any other slave. Some masters intentionally got their slaves pregnant so that they could sell the children. You are sounding suspiciously like the right wingers that claim that slavery wasn’t that bad. The ownership of any human by any other is abhorrent no matter the conditions. Even if an owner treated a slave almost no different than his free paid employees they were still forced to work for free and faced the uncertain future being transferred like property if their owner sold them, went into bankruptcy or died.

We love them both unconditionally & our daughter knows the truth about her background. She knows her birth mom. It's how we wanted it. We wanted her to know where she came from.
