These stories are amazing. In this instance, I am happy for Tracy, who not only accepts his roots, but is proud of them. Too often, we try to judge the actions of our ancestors through our eyes, rather than simply admitting that they were fallible people just like us. Great story!
That's correct we can't judge our ancestors, they lived a different era, a different mentality, they shared other values and morals way different than we do. Most liberties we enjoy today went through a long process that evolved and keeps evolving over time, and to our ancestors, the things we do today would be unthinkable for them. All we can do is learn from them, their stories their good deeds and mistakes and keep evolving, but loving much to all of our ancestors, we are their legacy and the reason we're here today.
The African American story is definitely more complex than even most AAs know. There were indentured servants from India brought to the East coast of the U.S. who mixed in with black people during the colonial period. They were referred to as East Indian Indians (Yes they wrote it twice so they weren't confused with Native Americans who they called Indians). There was also Africans of mixed Asian and Southeast bantu origin from Madagascar brought to the East Coast. In the South, in the Delta Region Mississippi and Louisiana a few hundred Chinese men married black women because there was few Asian women around and it was a law in some states that they couldn't marry white women. Again in the late 1800s-1900s Bengali men (eastern Pakistan) came by steam boat, some as merchants and they weren't allowed to marry white women so they married Puerto Rican and Black American women in Harlem and in Louisiana. Chilli from the singing group TLC is mixed with Bengali due to this history and some AAs are finding south Asian on their dna test now and are so confused. That doesn't even touch all the different types of Europeans who enslaved AAs; Swedish, English, Irish, Germans( In Texas and North Carolina), Scottish, French, Dutch (New York was originally Dutch speaking so Sojourner Truth first language was an old version of Dutch). And some of us indeed have indigenous ancestry I know people say it but some of us actually descend partially from native tribes who mixed with Africans.

I wonder if he meant tracy "even" knew his grandmother's mother in the sense of his great grandmother lived long enough to be able to meet him, or something else. It's interesting how names we associate with women were used as male names. His great grandmother could have left her husband for a variety of reasons. "Your great grand mother took up with another man and split", while plausibly accurate felt disrespectful especially when saying it to a person finding out for the first time. "I just wanna know how my great-great-grandmother got pregnant" is a whole conversation in itself. When he kissed the picture - Wow! I felt that. He would be proud of you Tracy.
Why do you feel it was disrespectful? Because a woman is being held accountable for her actions? She broke up her family and alienated her child from her father... happens all the time. She even lied to her descendants, she left him he didn't leave her.
@@roderickstockdale1678 just because its legal doesnt mean its right? she literally grew up and moved on. i like that tracy chose to think positively of both of them.

My great-great grandfather is Irish, and we're not sure of the circumstances of how he and my great-great grandmother (black) got together in the mid-1800's south USA. It's not likely that it was a love union, but mysteries that like are pretty common in black American geneology.
Many Irish were indentured servants in 1800s, giving 7 years of work for their freedom in the 'new world', cheap labor for the British. I'm sure they would have worked with or around black people.
It could have been a love union. If you read up on irish indentured servants that were sent to America, you will find that that they often would often become life partners and have families with the black slaves. Even though the Irish were unpaid servants and were not slaves, these two communities did mix. It's a real interesting read...

this used to be pretty common, i think my grandma was like 17 when she got married and her mom (my great grandmother) was like 15 when she got married.. which would've been around ww1..

I'm actually scared of what I might find out, like was I adopted, was my father not my real father? Idk
What a strange comment? In what way would this be heartbreaking? Can you imagine someone saying this about your ethnicity or would you say this about any other ethnicity?
My great grandmother born 1928 and she died in 2017 was mixed, (white father black mother) growing up in the segregated south she married a Haitian immigrant and had my grandmother in the 50’s my grandmother married a man of AA and Dominican descent and had my mother.. I can track my family on my mom side back 5 generations well the white side can’t find too much on my great grandmother other side other than what she told me because how the south was set up at the time…
My GrandFather was 35 years older than my Grand mother. We found record of his first marriage and death of his two children, but not a divorce record He moved to Canada a married my Grandma in 1918. How do we look for that divorce record if there was one
I think most folks misunderstand how much more mature people *had* to be 3+ generations ago. A good example is child labor. It's not the same now at all, obviously. Just something to take into account. We've evolved into much softer humans.

I'm actually scared of what I might find out, like was I adopted, was my father not my real father? Idk
😮 I would have never guessed this 🎉
The dude interviewing him has such a upbeat almost rude type of way I get a sense idk why. Like when he had Tracey read about her leaving her husband.
Yeah, I didn’t get that either.
Its comforting and horrifying that we havent changed.
Great great grandfather would be proud of Tracey, I think.
Traci did ashkenazi that coming. Lol (sorry)
Carmen ponder after split from wife: "somebody's gonna get pregnant!"
Super sweet 🥹🥰💕
i love him so much i can;t watch this; this is too heart breaking
What a strange comment? In what way would this be heartbreaking? Can you imagine someone saying this about your ethnicity or would you say this about any other ethnicity?
@bcx1138,
Be grateful that white men ALLOW you to live in a white nation.
The thing is we are ALL connected.
What would he say now? I think he’d say he was very proud of you, Tracy.
I love how Henry mentioned she was 15 because no 15 year old should be married.
My great grandmother born 1928 and she died in 2017 was mixed, (white father black mother) growing up in the segregated south she married a Haitian immigrant and had my grandmother in the 50’s my grandmother married a man of AA and Dominican descent and had my mother.. I can track my family on my mom side back 5 generations well the white side can’t find too much on my great grandmother other side other than what she told me because how the south was set up at the time…
SKIP SEEMS A LITTLE INSENSITIVE HERE
Agreed
Tracey Morgan plus Walmart makes for a great empire.
Why didn't see how Nas was his cousin on this show?????
Tracy is dope
When he kissed him 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Remember that back then it was very hard for a woman to get a divorce. They were basically property.
My GrandFather was 35 years older than my Grand mother. We found record of his first marriage and death of his two children, but not a divorce record He moved to Canada a married my Grandma in 1918. How do we look for that divorce record if there was one
It’s crazy that belonging to the street predated Future’s quote
Absolute opposite reaction to Levar Burton when he found out a great Grandfather was White. Props to Tracy for being open minded
Whatever on open minded. I despise every aspect of foreign ancestry. Tracey is a black man period.
Jews aint white. Jews are Middle eastern hence why Jews faced persecution in Medieval Europe
Interesting that he ended up at SNL which has a Jewish thread...
I think most folks misunderstand how much more mature people *had* to be 3+ generations ago. A good example is child labor. It's not the same now at all, obviously. Just something to take into account. We've evolved into much softer humans.
No wonder Tracy is a comedian He's Jewish it makes sense now. L 'Chaim,
Mazel tov
🙄
So he cannot eat pork now.
@@jameswatson5807 rotflmabao, no more chittinlins, pork chops and ribs! Oh Lordt!
@@WaitAMinute1989 😂
Respect.
Tracy's biological father is Tony Dorsett. Don't we already know this?
I wonder where does his relation to Nas come from.
Yea, I think it's very understandable that she left him. I can't imagine being married at 15, I wasn't even really dating guys yet.
