    Except in this case, the father put doubts in her head because of his own words. HE caused her to seek out the test by saying that he always wondered if she was really his. It's sad, yes. But, he shouldn't have said that if he didn't want her to go there.

    Even with those doubts he still raised her.... He probably only put that bug in her ear due to blatant infidelity, insecurities and pure saltiness. As alot of parents do, drag the kids into the adult foolishness that the kid didn't ask for..... Unfortunately this happens more than it's talked about in dry interviews like this one

    I love the daughter’s statement: “... I don’t believe our ancestors make us who we are.” This is a very wise statement. I’ve always felt that way. Also, the man who raised her should be considered her father. He took responsibility, emotionally and financially and with his time and effort. All the biological father did was impregnate her mother in the heat of sexual passion and walk away - end of story. Having said that, the three talking with Megyn seem like a lovely family.

    I like how this quote is used, however, being black and white myself, does this quote still apply to why black people treat white people unfairly because of slavery? There are people who hate white people because of slavery but this didn't happen directly to them or their immediate family. Yes, ancestors go through things good and bad, but when will we take a person's character as who they are instead of their skin color? Your comment just made me think 🤔

First you state that I am wrong, then you state that not everything has to be perfect. Try to break the sentence up. Her is very pretty? Her daughter is very pretty, but she is pretty. She refers to subjective noun third person. Which means she is the subject of the clause. Her is an objective noun. The direct object or indirect object of the clause.

They all three handled this with dignity, resilience and strength. I Love and adore them. Our race and sexuality are not a choice. What is a choice is everything else. No matter where we come from, how bad the conditions are or what blood courses through our veins, it’s our perception and how we in which we choose to deal and process it all. And just as important, is our desire and determination to rise above our past conditions and heritage to become much better. It’s where we want to go and and who we desire to be and become. Setting the bar higher and doing better are the words that inspired me by the ever so amazing, Mr. Sidney Poitier.

When I was a young woman, I would've had the same opinion that this daughter expressed regarding how our lives are not determined by our ancestors' but feel differently as I've gotten older. Although as adults, I think we can pick and choose what characteristics we're going to take on but making major behavioral changes takes a lot of self awareness and internal work.
