    So maybe in USA she felt white people had more opportunities. So she was trying to have a better life. I'm in South Africa so would be better to pass as black. But I can't seem to get away with that and get more opportunities. Anyway, I appreciate peaple telling their authentic stories because it helps us learn and have more understanding and compassion for each other and the insecurities plus perceived and real life situations

    Exactly. I think many people are overly judgmental of her mother...it was extremely painful for her to go through life hiding. She gave up a lot in a trade that she should’ve never had to feel she needed to make. “She never could be her truly authentic self,” as her daughter says. It’s tragic.

Just left her in a foreign state. Alone. Before they abandoned her they treated her like a "found child" that they were taking care of... even now whenever I think about this it breaks my heart.

    My great grandmother identified as black and so did her entire family. But she was very fair skinned with a straighter hair texture due to her mixed race heritage. Sometimes she passed for white when she needed to. My great grandfather (a black man) often had her do many business transactions or meetings for his business because people thought she was white and they’d give her an easier time. They even had a landlord that thought she was white and that my grandfather was the “help” 🤦🏽‍♀️.

I am a mixed woman, I am half black. If you still wanna be around me, I would appreciate this, if not, then our friendship wasn't true from the beginning on, but at least I would know now" ...It would have been such a release for her, if her friends would have responded positively to it.

    While growing up neither my father or grandmother would talk about family history. When I started doing research I pieced together many of the hints they both had given me but also knew that they wanted to keep hidden. My great-grandmother was born a slave in 1860. She wanted a better life so she passed and moved to PA to find a white husband. She was lucky to find a man whose wife had died leaving him with an infant and had returned from TX to find a mother for his child. They ended up having 12 children. Looking at old photos of grandmother and her siblings you can pick out some faint Black characteristics. For several years after I found out this history I was bitter that part of my heritage had been stolen from me. I now realize that they were reacting to our society at that time and attempting to make a better life for themselves and their children. So after growing up believing that I was Irish/Scottish/English I am now proud to say I am mixed race and appreciate what my ancestors went through.

    My grandma "passed" but even she didn't know that at first. The identity of her great grandfather had long been a secret. Her older sister found out in the mid fifties. I think that is one reason my family moved out west. Micegenation was still considered a crime, and gramma could conceivably been accused. It is sad, because my family has a rich history and a big gap in that history. I would have liked having a photo, or even a name, but they buried it all. 😰

What is immoral is not wanting to be with someone purely because they are the "wrong color". The proof that racism is pure ignorance in one's mind is that this gentleman was obviously very compatible and able to live/love/form family with a "black woman", simply because once he was unaware of it, his mind constructions didn´t get in the way of black and white having a respectful, loving relationship. This was like a social experiment proving that the difference between us and the black people is very irrelevant and skin deep.

I hope people can listen to these stories without attacking. Times were completely different back then and it’s so easy for people to put their 21st century logic onto the past, no matter how recent the past is.

    My great grandfather changed his name from Youngbear Redblood to "Charles Red" he married a Norwegian woman and told her that he was tan from working the fields. He made my grandma and her siblings wear long-sleeved shirts and large brim hats when they worked outside. My grandma went to California to visit her moms family, and she remembers walking up the driveway and her family asking why her children are so dark and their hair looks like "engine hair." When my mom was in her mid 20s and was learning about scrolls and natives around the area ( NW Arkansas) changing their names to give their families a better chance. My mom found scrolls in the basement of a library that kept the names that were changed, and there she found grandpa charles (Youngbear Redblood.) She was able to find photos of our family as well and brought them to grandpa, he wept seeing his dad. It was a photo of him in a war bonnet/ headdress. His dad was a tribal chief! I wish I knew more about my family than just the photots we have and a few stories that my great grandpa finally shared. =(

    This is the generational trauma that is now being uncovered and healed, thanks to the progress of our modern society. We fall short in many categories, but my reaction to this is one of sadness for her mom. To have to live your whole life pretending. That is torture. I am so sad and sorry for her. God bless her in Heaven. This journey was criminal. Why a society can hate someone for something so innate is beyond me.

    This reminds me of the woman in India, who cut her hair short, put on men's clothing and pass herself off as a man, so that it was easier for her to find a good job, and be safer (and her young child) , and be treated with more respect. She said it gave her a better life than as a woman, and so she never wanted to look like a woman again.

    I noticed a woman in the background shaking her head in disbelief throughout the program. Although I respect her disapproval of prejudice towards others on the basis of their race, at some point her disapproving sentiment seems to become artificial. Being that she is well-dressed and shows good intentions, she seems like a good woman to me. As someone who values truth though, this artificiality that I notice in people’s behavior from time to time troubles me. I say that we should all be mindful enough to make sure our thinking matches with our feeling in our behavior.
