Finding Your Roots

What's it like to see all those generations of your white ancestor, you could name, unlike virtually, the overwhelming percentage of African-American people have no idea who their white ancestors are. That's true. - Mm hm. But, you know, I don't really think of myself as having a lot of white blood in me.

You know, when you look at me, you wouldn't think there's anything about me that has any drop of white blood, but clearly I do, and clearly have a lot of white people in my life, so. Right. - Yeah. You wanna see how many drops of white blood you have?

Yeah. -

Henry

Right. 32.2 European. You are one-third white. I am not.

You are one third white. Take that back. (Henry laughs)
