What's it like being biracial in America, and dating a white girl in a small South Carolina town of Trump supporters, who's parents were bothered, and your white mother tries her best to understand all your political stances, but she can't 100% of the time, and her family is posting confederate flag pics and talkin' All Lives Matter, and you just became father to a biracial child... who now has to go thru all this again? Wow!

Ubuntu Peoples Podcast, Ep #53 --Joel Bristol: Last Year With My Dad 

Joel Bristol grew up in central Florida around the corner from his West Indian dad. He knew the dad but didn't know the man. All that changed in March 2015 when his dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Knowing he was the only child available to provide the type of care his dying father needed, Joel brought the man to live with him and his girlfriend in rural South Carolina. A few months later, the young couple found out they'd be fist time parents. Imagine watching your dad lose his battle with cancer while welcoming your first child into the world. Imagine burying the man on your birthday... And all that on a $600/month salary. How did Joel do it?
