My grandmother was one of the many mixed race children born from a relationship between a white British woman and a black American GI. Whilst we cannot say whether she did or did not suffer from much racial discrimination, she spent her childhood and upbringing in Cornwall, with her mothers family. Despite this, the topic was very taboo in the family and was never talked about - especially to my gran. This meant that we never had a name nor any information about my grandmothers father. However, my father and I was really determined to find out who he was and more about his life. Due to us not having a name, it seemed impossible for us to ever find who he was. However we decided to try Ancestry DNA to see if we had any close relatives in the USA. Fortunately, we were able to contact some of my fathers DNA matches and pieces together who the missing link was between us. After some time, we were successful in finding my great grandfathers name and life story from his relatives.

@@AtheneHolder In my opinion: There are curtain unforgivable sins that become transgenerational. Mixing races are a definite sin in every sense. Offspring will just have to seek their own to find their partners, then it's perfectly fine & no sin at all. It's not like there's not enough mixed people to date & many are quite beautiful. On a side note. Monogenesis is not scientifically possible being there are definite biological determinations to the various races of humans. Intermixing can bring along biological factors that would fall outside their respective place. It would be harder to contain health & wellness benefits if we have to do all sorts of testing in order to find out what we're working with. Just have to keep it simple & contain our lusty ways. Love does have boundaries believe it or not. When one finds desire for another, one must ask oneself if this bond will be the doing of mankind or a gift from G-d. G-d gives incredible wisdom to all intention. What that means to Christians who were never taught right is, because G-d thought about you, He wanted you to prosper insomuch giving you life in the hands of others of the same, that the wisdom sustains this providence of divine intention. G-d would be a divine inspiration to mankind, but the doings of mankind have an evil inclination that needs salvation to survive it for our sake & the Glory of G-d. If two different races mix out children, the offset isn't the same as that of G-d's work, meaning It's more upstream from the natural order. When two opposite sexes are mixed within the same & have forth children of the same the first commandment to go forth & multiply is rightfully done & blessings come to this family dynamic. It is written that a fatherless isn't allowed in the congregation of the Lord & not to the 10 generation if I may recall correctly. This would be the meaning as to why it wasn't allowed. But if it becomes naturalized in this way & sanctified, the sin no longer exists to pass on being the doing wouldn't be that of mankind, but the natural intention for them to have a living providence. G-d is extremely good & washes away the sins of mankind by sacramental means. I would expect there would be haters until they are realized as a complete family unit. That's the difference between G-d's divine love & mankind's lust. Lust is an acknowledgement to ones lack of belief that G-d offers wisdom with all His intentions & indicates the loss of that person's or persons soul/soul's.

Her Mother loved her and visited her and when she was four, her Grandparents refused to pay and brought her home where she felt loved and excepted and grew up along side cousins. Her Mother then married a black soldier and was brought to America and lived in community with other German wives and black soldiers. Somehow this was allowed to happen in a segregated time.

One of my college roommates in the 1960s told me the story about one of her brothers. There were also Mexican American soldiers in WWII. Her brother was stationed in England where he fell deeply in love with a British woman. He talked to Army officials because he wanted to marry her and take her back to Texas. The Army refused. When he returned to Texas, he talked to his father about going back to get her because she had been pregnant. His father said no because he told the son that he needed to marry a Mexican American woman. The man's mother secretly sent packages of baby items to the British woman. My friend said that her brother did marry a Mexican American woman, but he became an alcoholic because he could not reunite with his real love. Many years later, the British-Mexican American man found and came to meet his father's family which was a large one. His mother had kept the baby items that his grandmother had sent. At least that young man knew that his father had truly loved his mother and had every intention of marrying her.

God in his infinite mercy made a covering of the skin and outer body so everyone’s hearts are concealed and only He knows what’s in peoples hearts. We can hide behind a shield if we have negative thoughts and attitudes towards others but this was an era where humans treated black people less than animals and did it openly.

Racism sucks, and I despise it. I was born in England, in 1956. The only black people that I saw as a child were ticket agents for British Railways. They looked different, but I never saw - or was taught - any reason to treat or think of them as different in any other way. There was one boy in my classes who was noticeably slightly darker than the rest of us, but he was just one of us. I was fortunate not to have been taught to see some human beings as lesser or better than others because of colour. We were just children acting naturally. We came to Canada in 1965, and, again, lived in an almost exclusively white area, and, again, nobody taught us to treat people of any other colour any differently. Watching this video saddened me greatly. It was not the "England" that I knew, and left me disappointed. Our outer layer does not determine who we are. I'm a "content of our character" believer. I'm also fascinated by other people's stories. Whenever I meet people with accents, I ask them where they are from, and then more questions about their country and culture follow. As a result, I have an ever-growing list of interesting places that I want to - but never shall - visit. We are all more alike than different, and it is those similarities that bind us. The differences add - or at least should add - interest.

Theinfamouskiiki, you really touch my heart. I am too want to connect with my family. I mean all of them Black, White, Asian, Native and Pacific Islanders. You will feel loved.

You can believe this or not. In 1990, I lived on an naval base near Visailia, CA. I'm white and my best friend was black. We were both looking for work. This large insurance company was hiring for about 500 people. We rode together to take the testing required and were called back in hired in two different departments. It made sense she and I rode into to work together everyday and tried to take lunch together but they scheduled lunches and we overlapped by 30 minutes only. She was very busy in underwriting and I had more time as I started in the mail room. Anyway, I will never forget the local white and Mexican ladies (girls we were all young) came to me after she and I often saw each other when we could to just talk. They were not racist but were extremely curious with many questions about my friend because they had never been around black people. I grew up in an elementary public school where it was probably 70 or 80 % black . High school in a town just 20 miles away was 50% black and white. So, this truly boggled my mind. But then, one day it started to rain and it came a huge down pour with thunder and lightning. Lol Again, the curiosity of it had 95 % if everyone there with their noses stuck to the floor to ceiling glass windows. Mine and Deborah's too because I was from New Orleans and she was from Baton Rouge and we both missed the rain storms. Lol I'm so glad by the early 90's it wasn't prejudice but simply curiosity. The best part though was living in a cul-de-sac on the base with 2 white families, one black, two Philippines families and one young couple from Thailand. It was the most amazing time, we were all one big happy family. We partied together almost every weekend was the most amazing cook out with all kinds of wonderful different dishes. I will tell you something else too. The most grateful patriotic families were often the families of Asian descent. Also, it still reminded me of my own childhood. We all looked out for each other's children. It's too bad everyone doesn't have to spend at least 2 years in the service and live on a base where people learn if they don't already know how to respect each other and get along with one another. I was blessed and fell like my generation growing up I public schools was charmed. We all honestly got along. We were the generation unlike our parents that treated each other's as equals. 2022 and our country is more racist than it has ever been in my lifetime. Sad times. 😔

She went back to her mothers home in Norwich to give birth before giving him up. He got passed around a few orphanages before ending up in Leeds. He spent some time as a wrestler in the 80s. His parents had lived in the same house all their marriage. For some reason the step father was on the cert so i couldn't chase up the real father. About 6 months after he died one of his nieces started doing ancestry and as the only person to touch her family contacted me, needless to say no one knew what naughty gran had done.

Fortunately he was adopted by another US service member and didn't have to endure the harsh treatment I know he would of had if he had grown up there. He turned out quite well I must say and I've seen a number of my personality traits in him. He writes similar to myself and has even answered questions the same way I would have. That's a bit scary.

Stop talking like a child. What do you mean you found out you have a child you didn't know about? You know what you did unprotected out there...so why on earth are you acting like it was a surprise? Also you knew about this phenomenon when you were in high school, yet you still went out there and fathered a child there, leaving your seed to the eventualities of life. This kind of immaturity sickens me.

Thank you for sharing ❤️ I have mixed relatives from Britain, who became Doctors, Lawyers, Licenced Nurses and Educaters. No matter of what skin tone, we are all one big beautiful family ❤

Truly heartbreaking....

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY FASCINATING & HEARTBREAKING STORY !

I've been through the same treatment. All through my childhood and teenage years. The mental scars still remains to this day..especially the horrible emptiness of love and want or need. Nobody really understands even today people thought one can just shake it off and get on with life. Thus, I understood the terrible pain of others..my sympathy goes to you..

@@mth469 thanks. But, racism nowadays becomes mixed bags of extremists to mild individuals who cares not for anything but themselves, yet, holding high moral values for others to see. People at work, social, events and public places. Friends and acquaintance some have changed while others going the opposite way hell-bend on purging the minds of those they despises.

I am so sorry that you had to endure that kind of racial abuse from a teacher as well

Very informative doc, and a sad story. This woman has been blessed with strength by God, to have gone through all these inhuman treatment and still be able to share her story to the world. It really hard growing up having to deal with identity crisis, one is also asking questions and no one to answer.

Thankyou for this although my children’s father was born in 62 this helps a lot when thinking about the history we have tried to seek out his parents without any luck he was put up for adoption at birth born in the uk, and wasn’t actually adopted till the age of 3 we believe one of his parents was white but we’re still not sure if he’s African American or West Indian but it’s nice to get some history even if it’s further back than his birth because there is rumours his grandfather was a black solider from what his adoptive parents said.

Those who abuse children are evil cowards and should be held accountable for their actions.

Fascinating👏👏👏

I’m a white uk guy in his 50’s and I had no idea about this despite the never ending barrage of war time stories than have been forced down my throat, all positive tales of courage, daring and the can do blitz spirit of, a presumably all white, population pulling together... it is very upsetting to hear about how this woman was treated, and as a child! These stories need to be heard more often...

At 10:40 Babs validated for me that I did the right thing just by sharing what her grandmother said about her. Babs said, "As soon as she saw me she said that I was my father’s double." The grandmother didn't need a DNA test. This very significant for me. As soon as I saw a baby who is alleged to be my immediate relative, I knew INSTANTLY that she belonged to my family. Yet the alleged father, my own flesh and blood, who doesn't want to do his due diligence to find out if the baby is his, has LITERALLY threatened my life for acknowledging and spending time with the baby. I have been told that I was meddling by the grandmother, his own mother, who along with her husband won't even acknowledge the baby. I never mentioned her sons name or our families name when I posted pictures of me and a pretty baby on my social media. This form of rejection continues because of ignorance and lack of human compassion. People are conditioned to reject a child because of what other people think. I am so eternally grateful that Babs found her family and knows that she is loved. I pray that anyone who is out there looking for their family, will never stop no matter what the obstacle maybe. Thank you for letting me share this and God bless 🙌🏾.

I could never deny a child. I may not want my own, especially with my health, but I absolutely treasure my niece, nephew & cousins. Especially when they were very young. My sister was 10 years older & I lived with my mom because we were both disabled & it suited us. We had those kids every month or two. Very convenient I couldn't work because it allowed me to be available whenever needed. Even my sister's friends left their kids with us. Especially on New Years Eve. I'd bring my friend & we'd wrangle kids until bedtime & then stay up until midnight. Even once we were 21 we did it. Although neither of us really cared for alcohol & I'm alcohol intolerant. Which has gotten worse. So we were quite happy to help & everyone new all the kids were perfectly safe all night long & the next day. Although we did pretty much collapse after a few days of caring for kids. I'll never get over my young nephew telling me to just sit down because my back was hurting bad. Oh be we also cared for pets too.

The sacrifices black people have made for the Western world must be accounted and rewarded. Whether war, resources, labour. Come on.

I really doubt there would be any form of recognition to be made towards black people, for their existence is denied to begin with. If a black person even existed, he/she would be an undeserving or whatever you call him/her. A black person is still seen as a good which can be sold, bought and disposed of anyhow, anywhere and anytime. I am not accusing anyone but these are the results of my own observations. How hurtful!
