Out of all Black people in the diasporan I think Black Americans are the most proud to have African others not so much that's why I respect the hell of Black Americans love from Ivory Coast west Africa
A lot of us are very proud to be African. But there are many who are still struggling with identity. Many don’t want to be African but given our history of slavery it’s understandable that many are still brainwashed and it takes time to purge this kind if thinking. Much ❤ and respect to you as well❤️✊🏽
BS....Most Caribbean people are VERY proud. It’s evident in the very organic African culture we have preserved. You are obviously NOT exposed to Caribbean people. Shame
@mimosavideos2987 only thr confused of us actually believe in that fraudulent spit test. Trust, most of us know we have no african anything in our blood. We are proud to be exactly who we are thee Actual American.
America cap, search for Suriname they stayed most true to African heritage. Proudly
@@owarnert87 no body fighting to be no musty african but carribeans. Very sad most carribeans don't know their history. They actually think some african slaves came to their island and now they are all the by product of them. Slaves were taken from American to, jamacia and the carribeans and to Europe and to africa as slaves. This is documented and easy to find. There is. No evidence of africans actually coming to africa during the 1500-1800 as slaves or even to visit. African hold on to sk e fake tribe called the Ashanti. Next they will be saying they are a by product of the Chinese and east Indians who have taken over their island
lol I’m 89% black, 10% white and 1% indigenous lol. I’m proud of who I am and where I came from lol.
Me too!
Black is not a race it’s a
Color…they will never tell
You that you are 90%
Indigenous native American ..
They lie..👁
That's exactly how I am. I had great Aunt who would not share the family tree because we had an African slave in the tree (Que the scary music). I am very proud of my Scottish/Celtic roots, but my DNA showed me I'm not just a white guy, and I am proud of everyone in my tree and all of their struggles. I mean Everyone was black and African once, and that's just a fact, so we need to embrace it.
There’s no such thing as 10% white. White is a made up concept
I did not see the word " black ' on your DNA result nor white, because skin color is not ethicity, never has been . Its just a social construct created to keep Europeans united under the false notion that their collective skin are superior.
Thank you for sharing. I am African American. All 8 of my Great Grandparents were Black. My Ancestry came back 31% Nigeria, 17% Congo, Cameroon, 8 % Mali, 7% Ivory Coast and Ghana, 6% Senegal & 5 % Beni. Proud of my African Ancestry.
Awww proudly Nigerian, we are happy that you are one of us ❤
Your ancestors are just from Nigeria because Nigerians often get a mixture of these countries and Nigerian is ur highest dna
All 8 of your great grandparents were black? Black has a definition, as follows: pale, bleached, bleak(1828 Webster's American dictionary of the English language). More importantly, how could you not take the time to learn more about those 8 great grandparents, like their parents, and so on . . . this will lead you to who you are. You jumped over them to the slob swab. Does anyone do research? A little research, not much really, ok not even research, geneticists speak on the incapabilities of dna in regards to ancestry as if it's common knowledge that we all should know.
@Jotham1Yeah…😮 Right?
What happened to the other 26%???
Your Enthusiasm about being CERTIFIABLY Black is DELICIOUS young man! Knowing and having ethnic pride is honorable and important. Continue to go forth and prosper!
Thank you, and thanks for subscribing ❤️I hope you do as well!
No test coming back saying black.
The blood is red.
You can visibly see he is Afro wholly hair with a admixture of other race of people
@@princessprincess7708 did ants originate in Africa as well? how did they get to America if I may ask?
@@CentralParkBoogie Listen. Original humanity has Afro whooly hair texture.
The earth before separating Afro wooly hair people us, were all over the planet earth , it separated with them . Afro does not mean Africa .
It is wooly hair textured humans.
If you see a curled hair it is curled by original human Afro wooly hair
@@CentralParkBoogie why do you associate word Afro with Africa?
He is America Afro. Not Africa Afro for heavens sake. Smh
Welcome to the Naija family my brother 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬😂😂😀🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 as Africans we definitely welcome you with an open arms. Try visiting Africa and Nigeria 🇳🇬 if you’ve not done that already. Congratulations for finding your heritage bro.
Looking at you alone and your face gestures and structure sparks Nigerian 🇳🇬😎👌👌💯
How can facial expressions reveal ancestry? Gestures don't get genetically passed down lol
@@sowhat... 😂 he looks like one of my cousin thou
@sowhat... if you are familiar with the looks of
People that have been doing their DNA.
For example, People from the Biafra (east nigeria) cameroon,congo have ,long broad nose, lighter in color.The ibos also come in light or yellow skin like in my family in nigeria.
The yorubas, Ghana are much darker in colors,Ghana have much dark skin,smaller face and nose.The igbos,cameroon and congo have bigger heads, and noses.
When I saw him I guessed, nigeria,the Biafran,cameroon congo all towards the east part of africa
He does not look like Nigerian. He ooks like Guinea Fulani
@nduodiaka-ph9sl Igbo are not Biafrans. The name Biafran was hijacked by a coward by the name of Ojukwu. Biafra has nothing to do with the igbos. Most igbos are dark in complexion.
Congratulations! Im your Danish cousin 😆 I Got my test trying to find our spanish ancestors. Well, I am 90% scandinavian (Denmark/ Norway) 10% eastern european and not a drop of spanish! We found out that my redhaired, blueeyed husband is actually 10% italian! We are all one people, genetics does not Lie! Thank you for a genuine post. Dont loose that. Just do you 😊🎉👏
Hello cuz! Thanks for sharing your experience so interesting and exciting how many can of worms or unexpected results we find in these processes. Keep doing you as well 😄
And a dash of basil and a pinch of oregano 😂
It’s called the human race!
My Ancestry results I am 93% African, 6% Finland and 1% Native American. My ancestors have been in America since the late 1690’s.
Thank you for sharing your results! How interesting your family is on the early side of history
So you're AA and all of your European ancestry is from Finland? And since so far back too. I'm confused.
I wish my African % was that high. I'm in the 80s. My dad was in the mid 90s though.
Wow! We must be true kin cause my family been here in America since 1690. I’m 92% African and I’m 48% Igbo‼️ I did 23andme. If they have enough information they can give an ethnic group. 7% Euro and 1% Native American. I’m so happy to be Igbo! I’m just praying for a dna match. My dad is 100% African. He’s from here. NC. I got the European from my mother. I think the myth most of us are mixed is wrong. They include mixed race and biracial people so our African % goes down as a whole.
@@sowhat... People forget before the English came here there were the Scandinavians. There are many old structures especially in NY aka New Amsterdam. Also many came during slavery as well.
Great results! 86% Pan African is awesome! Of course double digits European ancestry is normal for our people, and your Indigenous American ancestry is definitely an honor to have for our people here in America.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes his results falls into the average category (1/8 European) for Americans. I suspected his number 1 African results would be Nigerian!! Very nice results. Thanks for sharing your results Andre!
I'm white and I have 3 percent indigenous North American ancestry and the rest is European. I've always found the European stuff more interesting than the Native ancestry.
@@AmandaFromWisconsin hey that's cool it is the bulk of who you are
@@AmandaFromWisconsin why did you find it more interesting?
@@celeste5607 you mean for black Americans not any Americans lol
💚🇳🇬 am exited! Because I found a brother! Love from Nigeria ( we call it Nija)
Nija for life 🇳🇬❤🙏🏾
So very pleased for you. Loved your excitement. My granddaughter is mixed (Caucasian, Black, Native American, and Chinese) and we were excited about her DNA history, too. Keep exploring, You will find out all kinds of wonderful things about yourself!
That's brilliant my young brother. Now you just need to get your passport, if you haven't already and visit these countries 💪
I already have it! And plan on it! Thanks for the advice and don’t forget to subscribe.
How exciting to learn about your history/ancestry! I hope to do this soon as well!
You should! ❤
Im 88% African, 10% European, and 2% native American
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Wow...wonderful revelation. Your excitement is making me smile. Congratulations! I need to do this.
He got 1% Khoisan? That's not that common for Black Americans, because they're the indigenous people of Southern Africa. Also 86% African is so cool. Such a high percentage Nigerian!
The DNA stuff is colonizer BS. Black Americans and South Africans are the most similar out of any groups despite what the DNA tells you. There’s a reason SA developed nuclear weapons and the apartheid was so severe. Ghanaian and Nigerians are just colonized Africans. Black Americans did not descend from west Africans. It’s obvious just by looking at the culture. South Africans create musical stars like Black Americans. The elites know the real story. They know where to go when they want to make money
You have a good sense of humour, and very alive. I think that's the Congolese side of you 🇨🇬🇨🇩. Welcome to the family🇨🇬🇨🇩. Stay blessed and prosper.
Thank you ! Stay blessed as well 😄
It was always a rumour in my family that we had a black family member.. my family are from England but both my paternal grandparents fathers were from the USA.
My grandma's father was rumoured to be of African descent and had light brown skin.
However it was only a rumour then... when I did a dna test I was infact 5% African which was interesting because people in the UK back in the day didn't mix in with Africans that much because there was hardly any here... there was Africans or British born Africans in port cities but it wasn't so common as it is nowadays so if I had African dna it would definitely stand out...
Even when I was little something about my Grandma's features looked.... out of place.... not in a negative way but something about her features stood out...
I began doubting the African family member existed in 2020 until my grandma tested and not only did she come out as 24% African but she was connected to the
Early Southern United States Africans American community
&
Early Alabama & Georgia African Americans
Certain places my family were supposedly from were Mississippi, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Virginia so the rumour was infact very much true.
Her father though is unable to be found... I've done as much as I could so far to connect who my grandma's American side are but its mostly guesses from using dna matches...
However my grandads dad who was Caucasian American does have a biracial part of his family in the 1600s and early 1700s and I am infact descended from one of the first documented slaves in North America.
He was born in the very early 1600s and was an indentured servant in Virginia.. back then racial laws wasn't as heavy so he did marry a white woman and had a son who is also my direct ancestor making that child biracial.... however the father fled from his master and attempted to run to Maryland where he was captured and sent to court where in 1640 he was the first man to be documented as a slave.. I do infact have the document too...
His son though was considered a free man of colour and his descendants mixed in with Europeans and native Americans and even married other cousins descended from the same line back to the man I just mentioned.
The family became "White" by the late 1700s and even enlisted in the Confederacy which is interesting..
My 4x Great Grandfather was a Confederate but 3 /8 of his Great Grandparents were biracial on his mother's side in the 1770s and in the early 1800s.
Wow, thanks for sharing your family's history as it was very very interesting.
I ususlly let the females do DNA test because they get better results.. I think because of Y chromosome..I think??
@@iwazarlayahrevelationprodu4860 DNA Is A Hoax ❤😜
Why did her features look out of place or stand out? What did you notice?
Wow kudos
I am mostly of European descent. However, I had been told that I had American Indigenous heritage. Not so. I am part African. Big surprise and fascinating.
Another surprise is that Rick Kittles a geneticist who co-founded African ancestry DNA shared that these tests only utilize less than 0.01% of your genome. Do the right thing.
U wish u was part African
@@sedimalengo3039 when you know who you are, the furthest thing from your mind is wishing you were something you're not. Do the right thing.

It's nice to the breakdown: I can tell you this though, I'm 100% of the living!
I’m from CT as well! I am currently awaiting my DNA results. I can’t wait!

Nigerians get a mixture of these countries too I noticed the highest dna in African Americans are always Nigeria
It clearly states that home dna kits are for entertainment only . . .

@@user-ui1yt9wu8kthat's so true! It's quite possible that the majority of the slaves are of Nigerian heritage. I have 39% Nigeria and 2% Nigeria East Central. Which is the largest percentage of my DNA 🧬
@@joseph9531yes slaves that were sold from the high chief right off African shores! History is wonderful to read.
Interesting 👏 Cool video 😁👍🏻
Thanks Gusta, don’t forget to subscribe!
I am glad you are magnified!
Iam American of Mexican heritage and I have 2% Nigeria and 2% Bantu peoples and 1% Cameroon Congo 😊 I was surprised bc Iam 52% Indigenous America and 38% Spain......interesting results
Cause blacks use to inhabit México...Mayans Olmecs etc thats why your surprised to have black my brother
Is this what they call a mutt
Mexico (as New Spain) was the first largest recipient of African slaves in the Americas.
Black people in Guerrero and Veracruz must be in your lineage
Every race has a trace of African DNA
That's fantastic!! Am happy for you! That pic you had for Eastern Bantu pple is wrong, those are Maasais and they're Nilotes, however Eastern Bantu pple could be from Sudan to Tanzania, 1% is waaay way back but you do have Eastern Bantu features.
Great job young man
That was cool, thank you!
You should do LivingDNA as well. They can tell your ethnic African group.
Ancestry changes their results every now and then. My results were similar to yours. 👍🏾
We love you, waiting for you in Nigeria!🌹🥰🥰

Thanks for sharing your results! Welcome brother and as I Nigerian from Benue State you look like one of us and I am giving you the name Edache meaning (Peculiar people) or Edor for short! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Christopher! Appreciate the welcome!
@@Dre_La_Mont feel free to travel to Nigeria when you could although I’m here in the States in New England.
You're related to a Prince of Dahomey, the ones who sold your ancestors to European slavers. The prince has US10 million in a bank account for you, just send in your bank details.
This is incredible! What the inventors ought to create next is a timeline from the day you'all were taken out of your tribe.
no doubt, and also, the black eyed peas and rice that was braided in the women's heads for the middle passage trip and how they planted them when they got here and made it so we still enjoyin'em today. Do the right thing.
Taken by the Chiefs of the tribe and sold you mean to anyone wanting to buy? Right off African shores they were sold! Not all we’re sold as the Chiefs kept some as slaves for themselves! I love true history about who sold who ! All colours of races were slaves.. some still are!
@@Caareenkm6726 The term 'slave' is deceptive, because it originates from Eastern Eurirope, where the ''Slav' tribes - Polish, Ukrain, Russia, Slovenia etc, were captured by Muslims in the 14th century, and put to work against their will, in 'Devshirms'.
@@Caareenkm6726 I wish we were all more concerned with present-day slavery than with slavery from over 150 years ago. People of all colors are bought and sold now (sex slaves often are sold several times per day), and that's who we should be trying to help. Perpetuating victimhood isn't helpful or admirable, and what one's vague ancestral origins are has little to do with how one conducts oneself in one's life.
@@CentralParkBoogie That's according to oral tradition. European explorers would take botanical samples back to Europe for scientists to study. They can both be true, btw, but I have my doubts about the oral tradition version, particularly because of what it takes to grow rice . Both black-eyed (and other "eye" colors) peas and rice are found in various parts of the world, such as Asia and South America, as well as in Africa.
Young brother I am so very excited for you! 🎉🎉Take the opportunity to identify your cultural group within the borders of the designated countries to discover your actual heritage!

I just did mine last week I'm from Mississippi so I know mine will be crazy.
My Maternal Great-grandparents came from Honea Path SC my other Great-Grandparents which is My Grandmother's parents.

We need to learn & educate on where we come from what's our background
Im mixed like a mf but im Black idc about no other genetics
We'll excuse that
14% error and Grant you the black diamond card anyway 🤣🤣 congratulations and welcome to greatness.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣GOOD ONE! TOO FUNNY
Good lord the open racism is astounding. I'm white American with no genealogical connection to any slave trader or owner. Can't sayvtgat about 99 percent of black Americans. Those are your ancestors not mine, own that shi*
Why is that 14% an "error"...seems odd to ignore a large portion of where you come from if you are actually interested in your heritage you should be interested in all of it, it makes you who you are and you wouldn't be here with out it. Should black people denounce their black heritage because powerful African nations enslaved their ancestors and sold some of them off and kept some for themselves? Should they denounce current Africans because Africa has over 700,000 enslaved people still today?
Every race, every continent, has owned slaves and been enslaved. Asians, Africans, Europeans, Indigenous people in North and South America etc all have slave ownership in their history. They've enslaved each other, enslaved others, since as far back as we can go back in world history. Anyone who thinks slave ownship is a "white phenomenon" is extremely ignorant on world history and current events around the globe. Slavery us still being practiced today in A LOT of non white countries unfortunately.
I’m sure he knew as a human he was great anyway!
The ethnicity part was cool for me but I really enjoyed building my family tree on Ancestry and connecting with new cousins.

I think this is wonderful. I watched 4-5 African American women, who were the hosts, got their DNA results and it was so emotional.. Each of the women were obviously Black, but look physically very different from each other. When the results were read, each of them came from different parts of Africa. It's all I talked about for several days. I just couldn't get my head around, the there are so so many people in the world who simply have no idea who their people are and why they look a certain way. I came, from, which is England, Scotland & Ireland, which explains the very white transparent skin. I'm holding out hope for a little Viking, but who knows. Who knows, I might find a little African, which Would also be very proud to have. Congratulation on getting some great info.
I'm 97 percent European and 3 percent Native American.
You are not mixed 😂. Many blk Americans 80% + shouldn't be considered mixed either but it's many quarter ➕ ppl not claiming it. You are a shockingly yt person 😅
Yes most Amanda's are😅😅😅😅
Welsh and Irish DNA means you have Celtic ancestry.
U am 12 % Cornish, 18% Swedish, Italian, French, German, Jewish, Mid d l e-Eastern and Indigneous Mexican

Yes not acting so sad like Sunny Hostin from the View when she found out her roots! 😂 she wants reparations yet her family were slave traders 😂😂
Interesting Mr.Wash make also the Haplo test,north of Nigeria is a genepool whith Indoeuropean roots about 70% dominance,if both parents are from the same area also the African West Coast it could be very interesting.
Indo European? Not it is not. They are mostly African with some North African admixture. Maybe a few.....a few outside of Africa.
nonsense, whitewashing
It would be so cool to learn about each of the countries your ancestors were from!
I was close 😂🎉 Africa ❤
It always amazes me that African-Americans are surprised and shocked when they find out they have a lot of European DNA in their make-up.
The education system in America is garbage.....Plus every Afro American thinks they are Red Indian....
Good grief, AA aren't necesarily surprised about their non-African heritage...many are simply unaware of the specific regions.
@@FourSeasons04 No, there is definitely a sense of shame and alarm at the realization that they are not pure African. Black Americans went from being called all kinds of dismissive and insulting names. Even the NAACP contains the word "Colored" which is considered insulting. Then it was Negroes, then Black Americans and now African Americans. A people in search of identity.
It’s not African Americans.. you’re either born in Africa or America .. not both!
@@Caareenkm6726 African-Americans is the way they refer to themselves, okay? It just means they're of African descent, but American. Well, some African descent. Lot of European DNA in the mix
I am 93% African, and 7% European
How is your 93% African distributed throughout the 54 countries on that continent?
@@CentralParkBoogie because can’t remember the Names of those African and European Countries at that Time.
Hello Taff!
?
Can’t water that dna down powerful
Is anyone else’s, already estimated, DNA ethnicity estimate in the process of being re-estimated? I know mine is. It’s saying check back in 1-2 days and I find that interesting considering how much research I’ve done on the previous estimate which has been available to my through myheritage for over a year now. I’m not having any type of adverse reaction to this information, but more so interested in what other subscribers to myheritage are currently experiencing? By the way congrats on your results!!
🎉 Beautiful ancestry. Nigerian is my highest African. One test says 22 another 34. Then Cameroon/Congo is next. But in researching records. I actually found a family being moved from a Latin American country into Louisiana and it listed where the mother in the group was born. Congo! So it was right.
My results basically state I’m not 50% of anything… but I identify as Black. I’m Nigerian, PI, Scottish, Ireland, Native American, Bantu…a bunch of other stuff. I really can’t identify with anything except Black/ African American. And I really only like to say I’m American or Black. It’s a little racist to always have to put a prefix before American. Especially when my White friends, originally from Australia, who have lived in this country for less than 10 years are now considered just Americans. You have to use a prefix if you are anything other than Caucasian. This country is so color struck. My family has lived in this country …forever and are still considered African American. We can’t even say we are from another country because we are so mixed. I guess society wants to make sure they can discriminate against you.
@@sammy4634my highest percentage is British at 40%, African mixture at 60% with the highest being Nigerian at 18%. I consider myself as black/African American because of my mothers Great great grandfather that kept his African name. Both my parents were also black descendent of that slave error here in the US
@why2874 you are mixed race. Be proud of that
We are somewhat similar. I have a total of 55% African Ancestry and 40% European, the rest Native American and South Asian. Mostly, my family identifies as Black only even though I identify as mixed Black sometimes. Not always.
That's deeply profound that you made this genetic connection to Africa. You should think of visiting there to find more roots.
I might try Ancestry DNA, although I took the MyHeritage DNA test. I'm 100% a crazy mix, myself.
I am 100% West African (100% Senegambian to be exact - which means Senegal and Gambia - who are actually the same people with the same history and culture). I was not surprised by that, as I've been documenting and preserving the history and genealogy my family for 30 years, taking over from my late uncle who had been doing it for 60 years. I knew the history and genealogy of my family stretching back to the 13th century including the migration pattern of my ancestors (with well documented and reliable sources), and even going back to the 11th century with our patriarch (but reliable sources are limited before the 13th century). Although the 11th century patriarch did exist (there are plenty of sources about him), linking to him genealogically past 13th century is unreliable. That said, I have been able to discover African American cousins through Ancestry. Many of these comes from the old communities, especially from Virginia. These African American relatives have Senegal in their dna results (Senegambia, to be more historically and geographically correct as Senegal or Gambia didn't exist at the time, our ancestors lived in empires and kingdoms). If you have ancestry in Virginia and you are part Senegambian, there is a possibility that we might be related. Welcome to the Senegambian family.
Thanks for sharing your experience! This is so cool I have to look more into this! So interesting.
I’m from Lynchburg,Virginia and have Senegambia in my DNA results.

I thank God that I was born Black!! True Royalty.. Superior in mind, spirit and body!!
There is no such thing as a black human, words mean stuff. Do the right thing.
Most Definitely. Black is Beautiful.
Pride for one's roots is vital to make it in this world, but not believing that you are part of a master race. The Lineal Heavyweight Boxing champ is white, and so were the last 2 previously. Considering evil white people are the actual minority in the world, it does not lend any credit to a racist belief that black is superior. Of course, I'm rooting for Anthony Joshua (born in South Africa) to win the title next, but not because he is Black, but because he is a gentleman and a great athlete.
Says a handful of people!
Superior to whom?
OMG 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for sharing your results. Wonderful that you were able to find out that you were 45% Nigerian. Maybe that means two or more of your great grandparents knew they were Nigerian.
I wish is was able to ask them, most of my greats have passed away and when I was younger I didn’t ask much questions.
@@Dre_La_Mont Yes, I know what you mean. Until Ancestry DNA tests came about, some of us never thought to ask any of these questions. Btw, I'm curious about your 1% Native American. There are a few ways to investigate and trace your actual tribe. If you take a 23andme test, it will show your haploids. There is a "chance" that the Native haploid may show up as a primary haploid of your paternal or maternal haploids. Just a chance. For example, if you show an A2 haploid then that is Athabaskan and the Navajo and Apache are descendants of the Athabaskan. Another way to find that ancestry is by working on your family tree. If you work on your family tree, you may be able to trace where it comes from and pinpoint the tribe. If setup an account with GEDMATCH, there are Native American projects on GEDMATCH. You can compare your kits with other people in these projects. There are some people that post their GEDMATCH kit numbers on other websites and you can compare your kits with theirs. There are so many ways to investigate this and it is possible to even trace the tribe through your 1%. I've seen it happen.
Nigeria was not even a country when his ancestors was in Africa and Nigeria is a large country with many ethic groups, so it not a surprise that many African Americans would have ancestry from that region. Most modern day countries borders in Africa was created by Europeans and thus African American ancestry would a line more by ethic groups and regions rather than present day countries.
@@EyeOfTheWatcher Thank you for the information. I'm only a small percentage from Africa so my African ancestor (my great great grandfather) were not around when I was born so I know nothing about him except that he married an Indian woman, my great great grandmother. You seem sincere. It's glad to see that you are not a troll or stalker just writing a response to counter someone else's response. There are some sick people out there that have been doing that on RUclips lately, and other people on social media have been complaining about it and put a warning out to beware of the sick people.

Slave trade was in West Africa, Nigeria is in West Africa!
Africa always had borders, we had kings and kingdoms with territories, those were are our borders
Is one drop rule actually a thing? I’ve been researching more and more about heritage and it’s really interesting! It’s cool that your Nigerian and such a big percentage! I got my ancestry kit as a birthday gift. Ordered it last week so it should come in soon. I’m not sure what I’ll get because I’m adopted, however I know that my mom was white and my dad was indigenous (so I’m curious to see) does anyone know of how likely it is I’ll get other than white/indigenous? You gained your self a subscriber as well keep up the great work! And keep being yourself and may you have the best luck in life bro 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
In regard to the one drop rule Yes, But its a diaspora, you have to actually look like the “minority” and being of a certain percentage typically you’ll have features of said ethnicity, based on US history when that rule was being implemented in the USA. Depending on how you look and your ethnicity society may view you as “other” or if you had the features or color of that ethnicity you were considered to be unfortunately “not pure”. Alot of free info on Google about this definitely look into it, also Thanks for sharing your experience I hope you get answers about your origins, and have peace in knowing this doesn’t take a way from who you are at this moment but it’s exciting to know more about where your gene pool has come from. So I hope it’s wholesome and full circle for you! Lastly thanks for subscribing and I pray you the best in life as well! 🤞🏾
@@Dre_La_Mont appreciate the info! I will updated you when I get my results!
@@Dre_La_Mont The one drop rule is not only based on looks, but is also based on the fear of not being loyalty to the specific cause of "white power." I got a chance to read some writings of some lawmakers and others, which they express that one of their biggest fear was someone who looks white who has loyalty to his black family (thus leading to revolts or other uproars). Case in point look at the case of former congressman Butterflied in North Carolina. Even from people from other parts of North Carolina would think he was white, but he consider himself black and the majority of the black population consider him black because of his family, the period of time that he was raised (he grew during Jim Crow), and his\family work in the civil rights movement.
@@EyeOfTheWatcher thanks for sharing the knowledge. Definitely going to look into this alot More!
I’m adopted also! Good luck with the results 😊
It is amazing how frequently ancestry changes what nationality you are so get ready honey it’s a roller coaster ride
Dre did you do Y dna test or only autosomal? U know u can discover precise source of your direct paternal and maternal ancestry by doing ydna and mitohondrial dna tests. This will tell u from which country specific those lines came. From your grandpa great grandpa paternally and grandma great grandma maternally. 🎉🎉🎉 i really recommend
I’m definitely going to look more Into this, Ancestry break the results down from X and Y so I know which side my breakdown came from. But grand parents and great o would love to know!!! Thanks for sharing
I am black mixed with Cherokee my mothers side came from Russia and my dad was here in South Carolina I know my history
No build your tree 🌲! Use the dna 🧬 relatives to find out your true ancestors! Also set up your paternal and maternal categories, so you can see which parent gave you which ethnicity!
Please do not forget to attach your DNA to your ancestry tree. Once you build it that's how you're going to be able to see DNA relatives and how you all connect. If you get stuck looking for ancestors, that's a fabulous way to get some great Intel
"I am he as you are me and we are all together." 😁✌🖖
Congrats on the 3% Welsh because you can now display the coolest flag in the world!
Beautiful! You probably have more native than the DNA shows. Especially with Mali kingdom which settled in the Americas. Congrats king.
False

They wouldnt be considered Native Americans , since the land was inhabited. But that is a completely different ethnicity group . You can go to just 1 country in Africa and find over 50 ethnic groups, in just 1 country. Abu Bakar was Mansa Musa brother who settled in South American around 600 years ago. Also if you go back close to 10,000s then yes with the “Out Of Africa “ theory Native American were black, after migrating out of Africa to Asia, which formed another race Asians , and a few groups left Asia , cross the Bering Strait (Alaska meets Eurasia) they entered the Americas. This took place thousands of years before the Rise of the Mail Empire. I am from Sierra Leone , mixed with three different tribes . Which all were part of the Mail Empire .

I am 97% European and 3% Black. According to the 1 drop rule am I Black then? I am confused.
No that rule is stupid 😂
If we go back far enough, we ALL come from the same place. 🎉
God made every nation … so yes we’re from the human race!
Our "grandparents" are Adam and Eve, and our "parents" are Noah and his family, the only survivors of the Great Flood. Indeed we are from the same family.
And you are correct about them using the dna for their own will against our knowledge. However, it has already been given to them. There is a african dna test that can identify the exact tribes as well.
I'm 77 5% African 22.5% native American
With that high percentage of Native, you would also have to have Asian ancestry. And where is the European lineage if you are black America. This is not adding up 🤨
@@ldylibra_thediviner4820 not all african american have european lineage
@@kaizatengoku3893 exactly

Here we go 775%African and22 native come on Jajaja Jajaja Jajaja Jajaja!!! I'm sorry it's just you made that bs up Jajaja Jajaja Jajaja!!!!
This is amazing👍👍👌, all American people of color should do this the fine out the who/what we really are.then we can know be whole.
All we need to do is read the old testament. The answer is in plain sight, but many have denied this truth.
Please don't assume some of us "people of color" don't already know who we are, know our generations, and our earth, blood, soil connections . . . This slob and snot swab has made some people insane. Top geneticists have completely debunked the notion of using slob and snot dna tests to find ancestry. Stop being lazy and go look. Do the right thing.
@@ritad7927 The Old Testament that says a woman was produced by the lord god and Adam? words have meanings, please look up the definition of lord. The lord(a man), and Adam(a man) create a woman. Two men created a woman. Kinda like today, which we all know we all came from our mother(a woman), we're being told that two men can create a woman. Do the right thing.
@@CentralParkBoogiewow you sure butchered the truth of the bible.. you must be woke! 😂
@@Caareenkm6726 come on, you can do it, butchered how? Keep goin', go ahead, you can do it, explain how woke has anything to do with any of this? Don't doubt yourself, try? Do the right thing.
Mine were about the same as yours. I am Nigeria 25%, Cameroon, Congo, Western Bantu 20%, Mali 11%, Benin & Togo 10%, Ivory Coast Ghana 9%, Wales 6%, Scotland 5%, Senegal 4%, Sweden & Denmark 4%, Germanic Europe 3%, England NW Europe 2% and Eastern Bantu 1%. 80% African I love it.
Job well done for tracing your African roots brother. We Nigerians accept our blood with open arms. Try visit West Africa sometime.
