00:30Show us how you can stand on your side.
00:33Oh, that's terrific. How do you do that?
00:36We lived almost picture-perfect kind of life for a while.
00:41So when Lacey decided she was going to tell the story, I was a little nervous about it.
00:49If you look too closely at it, it didn't make any sense.
00:53So we found ways to see what we wanted to believe.
00:58I always looked at you like you looked black.
01:04To me, you're just like a Jewish kid who, I don't know.
01:09White people will think anything.
01:12Crazy things. I'll know white people for a long time.
01:16Today's the day. We did it.
01:18It really is the power of denial.
01:21How the hell did anybody sort of not acknowledge this?
01:25It just seems like the 600-pound gorilla in the room to kind of just refuse to see it.
01:34When it came time to apply to college, I had to check a box.
01:38The only box I had ever known was white, so I just didn't check anything.
01:43And based off a photograph, I was admitted to college as a black student.
01:47And I was afraid of not being a part of the world that I had grown up in anymore.
01:52If I could have done my life differently, there were a lot of things I would have done differently.
01:58But in the end, not really.
02:01You know, the fact is, the fact is, like, whatever happened with you and Daddy,
02:04and that inability to talk about things, that is what I carry on.
02:09Nobody talked about everything because it was all secrets.
