I think she just felt like Black people should adopt Black people and White people should adopt White people,\u201d Korie said, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/duck-dynasty-willie-korie-robertson-biracial-son-ugly-comments\">Fox News<\/a>. \u201cBut I just think that\u2019s not helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their son Will\u2019s skin color didn\u2019t actually become a full-fledged subject of conversation until their A&amp;E show kicked off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t think about it until the show happened and people were like, \u2018Wait who\u2019s the Black kid? Who does he belong to?&#8217;\u201d Korie recalled hearing.<\/p>\n<p>When asked, Will said that he didn\u2019t start to feel different from his white peers until he got a bit older.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was one of the only Black kids in my grade,\u201d Will said. \u201cMy friends were White so I didn\u2019t get the notion that I was [different]. I would look myself in the mirror and be like, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m just a little bit tanner.\u2019 My hair was short\u2026I didn\u2019t have all this texture that I have now so I was just like, \u2018I kind of am just one of them.\u2019 As I got older I started realizing, \u2018Oh gosh, I\u2019m a lot different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Willie even recalled the \u201cugly\u201d comments they would sometimes receive.&nbsp;\u201cFor us it was weird because now he can see that,\u201d he said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t see that and we had people do all kind of ugly things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember when the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/charlottesville-white-nationalist-rally-blamed-for-3-deaths-dozens-of-injuries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charlottesville<\/a> thing happened. It\u2019s just so sad to me, and you know, having a son that\u2019s Black and biracial, just to, you know, have to explain that to him, you wanna say, \u2018Oh, no, no, no, no\u2026that\u2019s in the past.\u2019 But whenever it\u2019s right there in your face, you\u2019re like, \u2018No, it\u2019s not in the past,&#8217;\u201d Korrie said.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if they ever talked with their son about how to encounter police officers, both Willie and Korrie admitted that they were not exactly worried about that type of situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never once worried about that. I think I taught them to be respectful to any type of authority, with teachers, everyone,\u201d Willie said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou haven\u2019t had to think about that, but these are the kinds of conversations that [Mendeecees] has to have with his sons,\u201d Yandy responded. \u201cWe can cut off the beard. We can not get tattoos, and we can prevent those things from happening but you can\u2019t wash off your skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
