That’s nice to hear. I have Family from Alabama as well and my great grandmother, she came from a Creole background as well.

Glad you enjoyed the video fam. I’ve looked into how we are aboriginal to Americas and I don’t agree with most of it. I’ve heard that we aren’t descendants of Africans, instead we are pure blooded American Indians which is crazy wild, because it’s false. We do have American Indian Admixture which is true so yes we are kinda Indigenous to the Americas. Most of us have predominant African DNA which is how we got our phenotypes and skin color.. Which ties us to being of African Descent through Most of our paternal and maternal lineages. It’s is the whole point of being Soulaan is to be of African descent, not aboriginal Australian, unless you have that modern or ancient admixture. About the Black Population taking place in Europe, sure Blacks were in Europe, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have ancestors from Africa. This is proven with DNA evidence, most of us are predominantly African, a little Europeans while some of us do have ancestry with 1-8% Indigenous American Ancestry, some Soulaans also have a bit of East Asian ancestry. That 1% Indigenous American simply means we have a great grandparent from the paternal or maternal line that was an Indigenous American to the 7th generation. Now I do agree that Africans from the Mali Empire and other empires did travel here prior to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, because it’s just not realistic for every one of our Afro ancestors to just had came here through a slave ship. Afro Hondurans and etc have connections with the Mali Empire. Now while the Olmec statue does look phenotypically Negroid, it doesn’t necessarily mean the Olmecs were Black, because even Indigenous Mexicans Mongolians, and other Indigenous Americans share that same phenotype.

@@RayalWorldConz Agreed. My point of view is that us Africans are Indigenous to all of Earth. The original Indians are African people. Same with Asians, Europeans…

It’s something that has just started to gain traction. I heard about it from my daughter a few months ago and now I feel like I’ve find something that I resonate with. Good things take time. Be patient, we don’t want it to get co-opted!

I say this with love. Jamaican-American here

When are y’all gonna stop eating mud pies?

@@youcantberacisttowardswhit3917 You must be slow.😂

I am officially calling myself Soulaani . It's an identity that is uniquly US!!!!

Those names have become so political, I hope Soulaan doesn’t become part of an agenda

@@foodforinsomnia7026what agenda is fba apart of?

Yeah I have to constantly say that because some people don’t know what Soulaan is. But I’ll make sure in future videos to only refer to us as Soulaan for the time being. The whole point is to clarify who we are as Soulaan instead of BA or AA. Thanks for the criticism.

I’ll try doing research on this. I found out awhile back that my 2nd great grandmother has 3% North African on Ancestry. I also have >3% North African according to FTDNA, so Ancestry is definitely hiding some stuff.

@@RayalWorldConz yes, they are! 23 and me is also doing this. They listed the LO1 series entering Kmt as a M series Haplogroup. Which is false!

Haha, that’s where the inspiration comes from. ✊🏾

Stay tuned fam. Still in development ✊🏾😎

Yeah I’m aware of that. No matter what ethnic group you’re apart of, those people were definitely slaves at some point even if it was a minority, nobody truly knows, blacks weren’t the only people enslaved like they push it to be. Realistically speaking, many of our ancestors came from Africa and other places as well. But I don’t believe we should all literally go back there, it’s the individual choice. It’ll be crowded as heck same with Europeans and Asians. Lol We’re all over the place and I’d love to visit Africa some day. When they tell you to go back to Africa like back in the day, they’re basically telling you “hey, go back to your ancestral land so that we can take your territory.”

Heavily appreciate it and yeah absolutely. From my perspective I guess it’s very rare that we come across Soulaans to be 100% African. I’ve seen genetic tests where people got 100% African. But for the most part, we’re a very mixed group of people having both Recent and Ancient Admixture, same thing goes for other people around the world which I find fascinating about genetics. But yeah, I agree 100% we as a community have to change the narrative of what people think about us and make huge assumptions. Even the inventions that we made aren’t really told in school other than we made the potato chip.. That’s a good accomplishment but Seriously?? We came up with more ideas than that like street lights, game cartridges and so on.

@@RayalWorldConz Exactly. Agreed. It's very important to distinguish lineage from genetic inheritance. All of your lineage will not show up on a DNA ancestry test. We don't inherit all the genes our parents have due to getting only half from each parent and the randomness of selection. Therefore, particular ethnic or racial identities that our in a person's lineage will not be present in the DNA test. That's why it's encouraged to have many family members do ancestry genetic testing and to trace your lineage via records. I'm assuming that people who are of our ethnic group but 100% African may have admixture with other racial groups so far back that it doesn't show in their DNA anymore. Also, if they come from Geechie/Gullah people, due to their isolation with very little contact with Indigenous and European people, you might find 100% African DNA results.

@@RayalWorldConz Yes, we need to really start promoting our achievements outside of entertainment and sports. Because most people have no clue about our intellectual and achievement culture.

I forgot to put the Women Haplogroups in the video. My mother has L2b’c while my Father has E1b1a1a1c1a1. My grandmother also has L3.

E1b1a1a1c1b

I love it. Now when someone asks my tribe I can tell them I am Soulaani.

I’ve been thinking about visiting that village up in Carolina. A friend recommended it to me for awhile. But yeah, that’s definitely true. I think it’s very important for us Soulaans to do research on Africa and what tribes we come from along with genealogy. I’m also a Gullah sense I have family from the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. I found out that I descended from the Fulani and Yoruba and it made me proud that I no longer have to go through an identity crises.

@@RayalWorldConzASé... we should get as close as possible...find out where our roots come from... But even if we don't get that chance...we can be comfortable in calling ourselves Gullah GeeChee or Soulaans because we are literally a mixture the many that were brought here plus those that were already here... Know that Ibu Landing is a true story Yorubas were very valuable and came at high prices...Congo..... Cameroon... I tell ppl we are the best of all worlds in one...

Brazil had a different history where they were allowed to hold on to their African roots and they kept sending Africans to Brazil even in the 1850s. They even had a much longer slavery than black Americans.

To be fair, even though we are of African descent, a lot of current Africans do not want to be associated with us. We can acknowledge our lineage and still have our own thing. Most of the time we’re appropriating their cultures to feel like we belong to something bigger, since we’re constantly “othered.” Soulaan is something that is uniquely ours. THEY NOT LIKE US!

@@foodforinsomnia7026 so tru...the thing is even when we don't intend to we speak in an either or attitude...when really this is a both and relationship... Several different pods with lines of fiber that attach us all just enough so we know we belong but not so much that we lose ourselves...

I’d advice you to do research on what DNA test you want to take. But also make sure you’re comfortable with doing it. You can do research on Ancestry, 23&Me, FamilyTreeDNA and so on on RUclips. If you want to do Ancestry, you can order an Ancestry DNA kit and they’ll mail the kit to your place and follow the directions.

From our slangs down to our street wear. You see it all over K-pop and Japan because they’re inspired by us. And yes, no problem soul sister. ✊🏾

@@RayalWorldConzexactly. We are amazingly copied for people who “have no culture” haha

That’s dope, my grandmother on my paternal side is also Akan from Gabon, so we’re technically ancient family.

That’s nice, heavily appreciate it and yeah it’s a huge journey. I’ve heard that the Igbos possess a Y chromosome from Israelites, but I’m not sure how legit these claims are. You’ll have to do some digging when you get your results. But if you haven’t, you could also consider uploading you raw data from Ancestry to LivingDNA. LivingDNA gives you tribes from different regions. Are you planning to take African Ancestry for you Paternal or Maternal?

Yes! Thank you! 🙏🏾

@@RayalWorldConz Always in support of "truth-seekers" ...be blessed young man!

His cojones is Yoruba and Fulani from Naija 🇳🇬 but bro is more than just those as we AA's are multiple peopled, people.

@@KAH-7 Yep! 💯

💀 Well not necessarily that, but also Black as in just.. Black. keep in mind this is all when I was a kid. I know that Black is a race but what type of Black person am I ancestrally? There’s no people or landmass called “Black”. What Black ethnic groups did I come from prior to my ancestors coming to America? That’s what I meant.

Don’t try to knock him for being brutally honest which is very impressive for being such a young man. He did it publicly, something many black people won’t even admit to themselves. He’s smart enough to know that many in the black community have wished and still wish they were anything else or at least had some American Indian admixture. But it’s obvious he feels differently now and feels proud of his blackness.

Trust me, I’ve already done my genealogy from present to the 1700s and 1500s. (I think from 1900s and 1700s is mostly accurate.) But genealogy doesn’t really tell you what ethnic background you’re from, SOME ancestors was stripped away from their parents and had identity changes. Records go by the states and races like Mulatto, Negroe, Colored, Black, White and so on. Genealogy can only really tell you so much really. And the only accurate information MOST people can get when it comes to genealogy is to the 18 or 1700s. But other than that, on my Paternal Mother side, we came from Creeks or in other words Yamasse. And DNA testing is very real, I’ve found a lot of relatives and connections I have with different ethnic tribal groups. I don’t think anyone can prove that Black Americans aren’t African. Sure we aren’t in nationality African, the gene wise we are of African descent. But if you have proof of that, I would love to hear. But to say that I don’t look African is very interesting.. Do you believe that all Africans look the same? Do I look like a pure blooded American Indian?

No it's been proven that dna test is not real.and if you believe that you are from Africa then you should have family still living there.in order to find your tribe you have to find your family tree first not a tribe first......so that proves that dna test is false.in order to find out who you are,you have to do your genealogy family tree first because all africans that came to America was recorded so you don't need a DNA test because it cannot prove who you are......and further more the slave trade is false,it did not happen it's all a lie ...... please do your family tree and not that fake DNA because there are people that are trying to take our place and claim America as there's....the so called African Americans are the true Indians and we are not leaving our land!!

@@JuanMctillman Like I said, I already told you that I did my family genealogy. You completely skipped over that sentence I think, You’ll have to scroll up and reread it if you can. On my Paternal Mother side, we came from Creek Indians due to we are in Creek Indian territorial state reservations. We own land here. I do agree that yes, African Americans are SORT OF Indigenous to America in a sense that we’ve been here for 400+ years and most of us have 1%-8% Indigenous North DNA, but this does not mean that I’m a pure Indian. Saying that the slave trade is false is a stretch, because I’ve heard this several times before with Dane Calloway and other ABOS content creators. How did Europeans come here on their ships if slave ships didn’t exist? Also with genealogy, once again SOME information may not be accurate, and they don’t tell you ethnically who you are, they go by races like Black/Negro,Mulatto, Colored, and White. Also, our names were being changed, kids and adults were being stolen from their families and they didn’t write every single nook and cranny details on the records. (Most of us can only trace it back to a plantation of some sorts) Also I acknowledge that I’m not literally from Africa, it’s clear that I’m an American National Citizen and am from America. We’re talking about ancestral lineage before we came to America. DNA is not false, When it comes to paternity tests of who the real father is, or police court investigators case, that’s a completely different story. You’re entitled to your belief though. Also, majority of my relatives are here in America, I have found several living African relatives actually. Finding your African relatives takes time if you’re actually dedicated to that.

I'm sorry young man but there is no such thing as sort of, either you are African or American you are still going by what was taught in school.and again that dna did not tell you anything about your family tree it only says that you are from a certain tribe, you can not go by dna to prove that you are from Africa and it's obvious you didn't do your genealogy because your genealogy is your family tree, you haven't said anything about your family tree...... again your genealogy is your family tree dna does not tell you about your family tree.... please do more research because every African that came here was recorded,africans here in America are called Africans not African American and you have to do your family tree to find your tribe.and again if you are African then you should still have family there......... genealogy does not tell you that you are 1% or 20% genealogy tells you if you are Indian or not!!

slave trade never happened is not a stretch is the truth.the real slave trade is in reverse, a lot of our people from America were taken to Africa,France, Britain and Europe and further more the Africans are saying that we are the original melinated people of America and that they have never heard of african people being taken to america.and the africans in America says that the only time they heard of that is when they came America by the colonizers.so again please do more research and check out dane Calloway because he already debunked the fake slave trade!!

Trust me, I do research EVERYDAY. I believe some black people were in the Americas prior to the Slave Trade and Columbus but they were of African descent. I don’t even believe that literally all of us came here on a slave ship. And yes I’ve seen stuff about Luzia and her bone structure being “negroid” but that doesn’t necessarily mean that every black person from America is related to her right? And no, I don’t believe that all Black people are necessarily ethnically African, people migrated out of Africa thousands of years ago. We have Australians, Papua New Guineans, Negritos and so on.. Africa isn’t even just a continent for Black people, it’s mostly populated by Black people but look at North Africans such as Egyptians, Moroccans and some East Africans look like Middle Easterners. All of these people have an admixture including us, everyone has an admixture! Africa is very diverse, I have ancient admixture from East and North Africa too. But as Soulaans or Black Americans, we are a mix of a lot of different ethnicities and races, that being mostly of African descent and out African DNA is very recent even after 400+ years of being here and there’s nothing wrong with that. We are our own ethnic group, created our own culture from the ground up and we descended from a lot of African tribes and so on. As for the results yes they’re accurate, you know DNA doesn’t lie. I looked at my whole admixture from GED Match and it matches these results. If I’m not of African descent then idk, am I a pure blooded American Indian? I only have a little Amerindian which would be 1% Indigenous North American and 0.2 Indigenous Amazonian that which means I have a great grandparent that was possibly indigenous American to the 7th - 9th generation. We came from Creeks sense they lived from GA,Alabama and Florida. But that doesn’t mean I can just walk up to people and say I’m a creek Indian. I’ll just say I have a little Indian in my family.

@@RayalWorldConz I appreciate the time you took to respond. Very interesting read. Continue to be great♥️.

I always and still think it should be the converse?

Heavily appreciate it my Yoruba brother. ✊🏾 I plan to travel the motherland real soon.
