10:20 When a slave master rapes a 15 yo child who is their slave, that is considered a HORRIBLE DISGUSTING relationship. Foh with the ''on the other hand.'' NO excuses for vile human beings.
I have USCT (United States Colored (Black) Troops in my maternal grandpa's lineage who after the American civil war were sent west to fight Native Americans sadly and became the Buffalo Soldiers.
christo fat he may have the skin complexion of someone white but his body language is of African descendants. His laugh, his voice. Once u have that blood in your veins it cannot hide. I am of African descent, from the Caribbean, from a mixed family. He does not look fully white. What Africans are u speaking about ?
joanne gomo . body gesture and accent are cultural or social not genetic.I am talking about the one born in Africa! the real one! Africa is a continent , please no simple generalization!
christo fat b.s. u cannot take Africa out of the black man. No matter where we are in the diaspora, what language we speak....that "swag" is in born. Somebody you would know nothing about. That is why we are envied, hated and feared.
I was born in africa! You are may be of African descent but you are not African. There is a big gap between the 2 people ( cultural and genetics - many are in fact mixed)! In the Americas if you have any african blood you are considered to be Black , the reverse in many African countries!
SuperTruthful It's typical for a half black, half white man with a black father and white mother to prefer white women. Typical men who admire their mother prefer women who look like their mother.
Yeah...slaves being raped without regard for age was common in the slavery days. As if owning another human being as property wasn't despicable and abhorrent enough...
Funny, Henry L.G. said something like "here's your White maternal line, just how [woman's name here] and Green are on your Black line"...but Green is on both lines, right? :-)
I believe I'm some how related to Derrick Jeter him I have dna matches with his family's names and a distant cousin told me he was at a family reunion down south and I think he's also distantly related to Jimi Hendrix 6th cousins I think
Of course it can never be consensual...one is a slave and the other owns that slave (as disgusting as it was to even write those words). The human being who is enslaved whether it was an African girl or an African boy can never truly consent to this with such a huge (evil and immoral as it is) power imbalance. There was no "relationship"...there was only crimes of rape.
2019 just watching this and whole part is and always will be cloudy, in fact from 9:58 - 10:40 says it all, the saddest part not only of the video - of our country. Now, I wish that professor Gates would go back and tell Ben Affleck to man up and put that episode on. I think Gates's decision not to air that episode does validate & harm in a very subtle way the real class and color divide in this country. I am sure he explains to his guests that they don't know what they will find: THAT is the show for goodness sakes!! The fact that Affleck had slave owners in his family became public anyway..I love that show, though stopped watching because that ignorant and seemingly elites/fame has power decision. The other day I came across the show and it was the episode that included Marisa Tomi. I truly miss watching the program.
hope you all seen my ancestry results. Makes me wonder what did I inherit from my family. I wish Prof. Gates could research my past. Mix celebrities with average folks like me.
How people want you to deny part of heritage if it's European especially. Then run that one drop rule which no longer is used here in the states that came from slave owners. I'm not a Jeter fan but he can't help whom his ancestors are or how he looks. You're only black if you came out dark skin apparently. He's not out here bashing darksin women or making excuses why he does light to white. It's usually DARK skin men that Nash our darker skin sisters. Rather than just saying its a preference they'll make all kind of excuses even blaming women for their choices.
Which is probably a good thing. It would be a little false and forced if he identified with it deeply without any deeper experiences tying him to it. It's definitely something he could seek out and attempt to educate himself about better. But ancestry and lived experience aren't interchangeable.
Ok this isn't that significant. If one of his great grandfathers was mixed that means his father probably was about 15% or so white. That's actually low for black people in America. Jeter is probably about 60% white and 40% black then give or take some numbers
wizard kelly smith im a match to 3 of Derek's cousins on Ancestry. One of his 3rd and 2 of his 4ths.....Just made discovery 3 weeks ago after seeing this clip
Jeter's bald head and his hand gesture when he waves at his fans is the same as his great grandfather.
And I would imagine his great grandfather's name, "Green" was probably because he had green eyes.

I love this show!
Louis Gates is the Best
I would love to know how they find those old photos.
Byrdmann me too are they in the news paper or what Dr. Gates is good at researching.
Historical societys
I found my dna connection to Derek's family thru his 3rd great grandfather in Coosa, Alabama and into Edgefield, S.Carolina
P Htwr my sister related to him as well
Angela Santiago Cool, i match 3 of his cousins on Ancestry. ..2 4ths and 1 3rd cousin
My family is from Edgefield, S.Carolina.
@@angelasantiago7426 Very Cool! i match 3 of his cousins....2 3rds and a 4th Leroy and Melenda Jeter and the last one goes by J.Jeter
@@abusharifah72 No kidding? this is very cool!
Interesting. Thank you
16:50 did he just say "slam dunk" to Jeter and pass up "Home Run"
Ben Bowmen- Slam- dunk and home - run mean two different things in the literary world
his great grandfather look almost like swizz beats
I have USCT (United States Colored (Black) Troops in my maternal grandpa's lineage who after the American civil war were sent west to fight Native Americans sadly and became the Buffalo Soldiers.
The blood of the African continent can never be hidden. Derek Jeter looks black. He has the swag of a black man.
joanne gomo it is just the way you see it. For an African he is a white!
christo fat he may have the skin complexion of someone white but his body language is of African descendants. His laugh, his voice. Once u have that blood in your veins it cannot hide.

What was Derek Jeter percentage break down
Derek Jeter x3 grandfather had a rowdy saloon so rowdy in fact the cops had to be called🤣🤣🤣
This show seemed short but sweet.
How many came jus for jeter?!
Lovey Luvv
Funny, me😊
Actually I love both Billie Jean King and Rebecca Lobo
Cannot imagine roots Caribbean?
My granddad dad is a Jeter but his mother last name is Hunter my family root is here in Alabama we took his mom side
What an incredible thing to know.....what would it cost to find out my European Ancestors?? How far back can you go?
Steven Leber Umm, We are all surrounded by europeans!
I agree slaver is not a good thing it was,it is a sin..
I knew Derek Jeter's great uncle
So where does Charity (Green's mother) come from???
Rather watch am episode where someone is not famous finding out they are related to a famous historical figure.
Everyone of his guests has significant European ancestry, except Oprah who had none.
wizard kelly smith jeter is barely black ...we cant hord everybody now shit
loiba yeah but she claimed native American blood and she had none.
SuperTruthful It's typical for a half black, half white man with a black father and white mother to prefer white women. Typical men who admire their mother prefer women who look like their mother.
read my comment....same thing I wrote.
And all his guest were at least somewhat famous and somewhat wealthy, except Oprah who's super famous and super wealthy
315?!?! you from upstate new york?
AnthonyNYG I'm from long island brah
Wow
When I first saw Jeter I thought he was a Manc!
She was 14 or 15.
this wasn't marriage fool. rape, rape, rape...
Yeah...slaves being raped without regard for age was common in the slavery days. As if owning another human being as property wasn't despicable and abhorrent enough...
Sad
Funny, Henry L.G. said something like "here's your White maternal line, just how [woman's name here] and Green are on your Black line"...but Green is on both lines, right? :-)
He seems to be in shock.
I believe I'm some how related to Derrick Jeter him I have dna matches with his family's names and a distant cousin told me he was at a family reunion down south and I think he's also distantly related to Jimi Hendrix 6th cousins I think

I have connection to his 3rd great grandfather
I'm a Jimi Hendrix fan, I always wondered if Derek Jeter is somehow related to Lucille Jeter ( Jimi's mom)
I wonder how he feels about his last name now?
💖
Charity was 15 when she gave birth to the slave master (jeter) child, so i very much doubt it was consensual
A lot of Irish people worked in Manchester then
Rebecca Lobo finding your roots
Of course it can never be consensual...one is a slave and the other owns that slave (as disgusting as it was to even write those words). The human being who is enslaved whether it was an African girl or an African boy can never truly consent to this with such a huge (evil and immoral as it is) power imbalance. There was no "relationship"...there was only crimes of rape.
Damn, I always thought Jeter was Puerto Rican or something.
Mercurial Man Most if not all Puerto Ricans are mixed race just like Jeter so it's the same thing
Im hispanic and my last name is british lol
Nah man. Never thought that brother was Puerto Rican. Like my man said, most of them are mixed to varying degrees as well.
No. His father is black and his mother is white.
Nope most Puerto Ricans are White of European ancestry. Those lil pendejos that you hang out with in the bodega are not representative of all of us.
That family tree is tiny...

hope you all seen my ancestry results. Makes me wonder what did I inherit from my family. I wish Prof. Gates could research my past. Mix celebrities with average folks like me.
Really a GOOD RELATIONSHIP.... lost a lot of respect.
D W it wasnt always rape dumb ass

the first slaves were black...none were light...did you not watch the video?
.
The one drop rule is a myth and ignorant, if you think about it.
Goes to show you shouldn't felish All That You Are not just one part.
Brent Travis
What???
DEREK JETER LIVES HIS LIFE AS A WHITE MAN
I don't believe Jeter identifies with any part of his blackness.
Which is probably a good thing. It would be a little false and forced if he identified with it deeply without any deeper experiences tying him to it. It's definitely something he could seek out and attempt to educate himself about better. But ancestry and lived experience aren't interchangeable.
How can it be ignorant when you are essencially agreeing with me?
Ok this isn't that significant. If one of his great grandfathers was mixed that means his father probably was about 15% or so white. That's actually low for black people in America. Jeter is probably about 60% white and 40% black then give or take some numbers
wizard kelly smith i don't consider him black
U still have that stupid ' One drop" rule to contend with
On his other show they tested Dr. Gates' DNA. He and Quincy Jones both had 50% European ancestry.
wizard kelly smith im a match to 3 of Derek's cousins on Ancestry. One of his 3rd and 2 of his 4ths.....Just made discovery 3 weeks ago after seeing this clip
+Sister Ches If he considers himself Black then that's was he is. It is irrelevant what anyone else believes.
Derek Jeter is so hot and I usually only like arab guys
Who CARES !
it's almost always never rape. purely consensual.
lies. i guess you'll want to believe that since it soothes your diseased conscious. that's the same thing pedophiles say now.
Wrong. Do you think slaves were allowed to say no?
N Kel I sound like a rapist .. Please get help
Educate yourself darling, your wrong.
Almost always.
