Be that as it may, he’s entitled to feel however he wants to feel about it though. I don’t think that anyone would exactly be thrilled to find out they were the byproduct of rape. We all know it happened…but still it’s not “great news”. On the flip, I know many white folks that would absolutely freak out if they had African ancestry.
❤❤❤❤❤... I now wonder how many other African American blacks never considered that they were created through the slave trade? We got to learn American. Critical race theory is not a theory it's American history.
Brother man, akan (koromanti) culture can also be found on the northeast part of Mexico 🇲🇽 . Also, after the 1821 independence from the kingdom of Spain 🇪🇸!!! our first president of mexico was also biracial indigenous from Mexico and from mother Africa. So we can trace certain cultural similarities within mother Africa. Also, in Honduras 🇭🇳 too!!! Thank you brother for the great info 💯💯💯💯
I’m glad you came back and explained yourself. My results is Akan also and I was happy because I had an interest in the Akan. I felt like I was drawn to studying about it. I’m not from a urban area and most people around me don’t know or show interest in the motherland. I have always had a longing. African Ancestry rocks
I’m thinking about adding to my name. I am all female bruh..lol. The name halmamama is from a drama I use to watch with my daughter. I will research even more to add something that fits me, Afia and something else.
I am white by appearance and cultural experience. While doing family research I came across census records of my family being free people of color. We are melungeon, a mix of European, African and native, some were light skinned enough to pass for white some were very dark. My point being, it is possible that your mix came from people who loved each other and didn't see race as a barrier. I sadly agree with everything you said being most likely....I am very moved by what I discovered about the Freeman side of my family. Turns out it was a declaration that became our family name. There is a hidden history of isolate communities of free people of color mixing with and living free but hiding from the establishment. A story untold. My great grandmother referred to us as black dutch, Mississippi slang for mixed heritage. She would say, we ain't American, we black dutch, don t tell anyone cause it ain't safe.... now that I understand what she meant I wish I could tell her , no grandma we are American, and it's safe now. I pray that your journey into your roots shows you things that lift your spirit . And thank you for sharing such an honest and personal video, it's conversations that start with videos like this that will lead to cultural healing and personal grounding, don't get any more beautiful than that!
Peace brother give thanks for this video as well as the research you have put in. I did my African Ancestry tests in 2010 with my matrilineal ancestry being connected to Temne of Sierra Leone, Kru of Liberia and Mandinka of Senegal. All of which can be found within each country as they have been around before the colonial borders. My paternal ancestry is of Ewe of Ghana. I made my first trip to Africa this past year going to Sierra Leone fortunately twice. Sierra Leone is the only country to my knowledge that have given citizenship based off of DNA. As they have done so for celebrities like Isaiah Washington. Well I was part of a group he recently received citizenship this past November in Sierra Leone. It’s important to know when we find our results we are welcomed by our brothers, sisters, cousins back home. Salute my fellow Ghanian brother. I just subscribed keep up the good works.

*CHOSEN JUDAHiTESs* YAH-ÉL ASANTEWAA, TheBlackMuLan Give Thanks and it’s my pleasure to share. It’s interesting that you mentioned the passport because even though we received dual citizenship they did not allow us to leave with our Salone passports in hand. We had intended on going back in April before covid hit. Hopefully there will be no issue with receiving it when I do get a chance to travel there again. Peace and Blessings.
That's why they recommend the Maternal DNA test and not Paternal for the very reason why you're upset. Yes, they used our female ancestors for sex as well as labor.
i heard it much different that X DNA carries more significance. maybe that is so in some tribes and not in others. the X DNA interest me moreso than Y.
@@iknowthetruthcommonsense3643That's only true in a society that looks at lineage solely through that lens. Most precolonial African societies were matrimonial. As well, identifying ourselves by the y chromosome that came from a European rapist and human trafficker would be unhealthy.
Yeah. They (African Ancestry) recommend that people do the mitochondrial dna test, even if you are male because of the Euro admixture tending to be running in the male line. The male test is going to very likely come out as Euro, which if you are looking specifically at your African genes, is useless.
Europeans weren't necessarily pure caucASIANS themselves. Even they have our bloodline as well: "It is a very great error to think of the Europeans as a pure white people". -Joel Rogers, '100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof: A Short Cut to The World History of The Negro', 1934
Don't teach what you're earning... it is a life time struggle to acquire as oppose to immersing yourself in the custom and cultures of your ancestors... Our forebares often said.. learn to crawl before you learn to run. so long.
You did really good research and the Akan, Fon, Yoruba and Congo-Angola people did have a large impact in the Americas, but I think that the Mande people (Mandingo, Mende, etc.) arguably may have had the biggest impact of all. The Mande influence included stuff like rice, the banjo, blues music, Islam and a lot of other stuff in the Americas. Yes I took African Ancestry and I am Mande on my maternal and paternal lines.
@@sheenamiles1838 What nonsense are you even writing? Maybe you should try reading for comprehension. Then when your comprehension skills improve you should try rereading what what was actually written, because no where was it written that they created rice. You just lack reading comprehension and assumed stuff that was not actually written. However, rice was one of the staple crops of Mande people and the reason that South Carolina planters sought them. The Mande people then brought their music, which is now known as what we call the Blues. glc.yale.edu/gullah-rice-slavery-and-sierra-leone-american-connection glc.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/Gullah%20Song.pdf
Well.. "Mande" is just another subset of YÀRIBÁ "YÒRÚBÁ".. It is actually called MÈNDÉ and there are their localities abounding in "Yòrúbá" land today. 🧔🏿⚖️📜📖⏳⌛
Anyone with half a brain could have registered that he meant the mende were mostly farmers and influenced the rice game in the Americas ..like South Carolina...the gulla geechie ppl who largely descended from the mende show influence in their rice, music,and cultural sayings ex. "Koom-ba-ya"/ come by here ...my Lord
It's possible the paternal "European ancestry" might be incorrect. I say this because there are some Africans that have the haplogroup "R1b" that originated in West Eurasia, most western European males have this haplogroup. But some Africans have this as well because in the bronze age some Eurasians migrated and mixed with Africans. I remember I was reading a study and it said that 11% of Bakongo men have this "R1b" haplogroup but they automatically assumed it was from recently, from Portuguese men colonizing the Congo and Angola. But this doesn't make sense because when you test the average bakongo person in ancestry DNA, they get 100% African so they have no European in them. I hope you read this and have a nice day
Your haplogroup reflects a tiny part of your overall DNA. It may not be exactly right when they say Portugal. Hard to explain but most European men in America have some type of R1b.
@@Lonnell99 they have R-V88. This is distantly related to the R that Europeans have. R and Q both came from P in Central Asia but R moved towards Europe but some went to Africa.
Henry Luis Gates first test showed all European ancestry and he had to take a second test to get the African ancestry. Did you know more people of African descent were shipped to South America than slaves sent to North America? I spent 20 years doing research on my Grandmother’s mother and father family. I was given my first clue by my genealogical advisor that my grandmother’s family had a Scottish last name Wilson on both sides for 4 maybe 5 generations. A Wilson married a Wilson unrelated and I traced them on census records. Then I researched how Scottish men interact with people who were of African & Cherokee’s origin. Spain can also inter the picture they too were involved in slavery which gets you to Mexico, Central America, and South America. The Scottish were involved in the sugarcane shipping trade in Jamaica, slave trade, plantation owners and it becomes very clear why there are so many Scottish names showing up in so many different areas of the earth. It is a lot of work but I wanted to know my family’s story. I wrote down oral stories. Then I researched to see if it matched up with history, the time period and historical records. Henry Louis Gates jr said that only 5% of all African-Americans have Native American ancestry. One member of my family walked the trail of tears and she was black. She was born in one of the states, Tennessee, which was part of the Cherokee nation. She was a slave of wealthy Cherokee. A lot of people do not know wealthy Cherokee owned slaves and many of them walked the trail of tears ( walking 800 miles to be west of the Mississippi river). The wealthy Cherokee had strong ties with Scottish. Scottish men could not own land that belong to the Cherokee’s but they could marry into the woman’s clan and their children would inherit the land. These men taught their children the Economics of slavery. They also educated their children in the north their sons became doctors and lawyers they built real towns that had streets and churches schools and they built houses well their slaves did most of the work. From time to time some Cherokees that were mixed with Scottish blood built Scottish Manors There are many African Americans that have Scottish last names. I followed my family by census records to confirm that the stories matched up with history. One woman in particular in our family records it mentions she was a free black woman from England who traveled to America before slavery had ended. Another story my grandmother told me was her mothers name was Halle Quinn Wilson. The Quinn sounded very different in the name and she didn’t know where that name came from. But when I interviewed her sister she told me that their mother was named after a famous black woman. That woman was named Holly Quinn Brown look her up she is a fantastic lady! The name Quinn came from honoring a bishop from the AME church. He stood on the free side of the river and preach to the slaves on the other side of the river. So don’t get discouraged because there are so many wonderful and interesting people who are part of our family’s history. Sometimes I got so attached to these people when it dawned on me that they have long since passed off the scene, but will be remembered only if, we keep talking about them or reading or writing their stories down. Think of it as a giant 5000 piece puzzle, but when you finish putting all the pieces together it becomes very clear it’s a beautiful portrait of your family.
Glad you made another video maybe one day you will meet a someone from the same Ethnic as you and learn even more about Akan ppl I believe that’s one of the best ways to learn more about your history as long as don’t suffer from tribalism and their heart is in the right place. I since I took a test from Ancestrydna I found Two Igbo and one Yoruba match which I hope he message me back soon. I try not to be too pushy and demanding from I want to know things.
You can also check your mother’s father line. Even though you are not a direct descendant of his father line but you do share about a quarter of his dna. It may be interesting to check some of your close dna cousins that you may share gr grandparents with. This can be achieved if you do 23andme. The problem is if or not do you share same parent lines in the past.
@Artisan_King, Thank you for a great educative presentation, I have subscribed I'm also in the process of waiting on my African Ancestry MatriKlan test kit, so excited and will be following in your footsteps into the journey of researching the Ancrestral connectins.P.S as I complete this message the test has arrived !!!!! Now for the long wait 10 weeks, sigh, lol
Portuguese were the first European to enslave African people (during fifteenth century). Maybe when your ancestors landed in USA they already had Iberian origins. The only eastern African country who was involved in the slave trade was Mozambico which was a Portuguese colony. There is still a castle in Mozambico and it was used for that horrible trade.
Hahaahaa my fellow Akan bro you have Akan written all over you, you’re representing with all the Adinkra symbols on your page logo says it all and I know deep down you are happy and shocked because Akans don’t come up on these ancestry dna 🧬 often. All the different Akan groups are the same blood and the same culture just people moved different parts of the region and get their group names for what they are known for or the main settlers name, all the Akan groups in Ivory Coast are directly from the Asante area as well and moved on to Ivory Coast area when they didn’t want to be part of wars going on back then so it’s not something to worry about really. Akwaaba brother and oh please don’t forget to drop your Akan name here. Mine is Adwoa born on Monday/Edwoada. Akan sista ❤️🤓🥳🤩
Thanks for the warm welcome and support sis! Yes I've noticed all the Akan symbols around me after I posted my first video. Prior to my results I just chalked it up to Akan being commonly known in the diaspora. The name is Ɔ̀kɔ́tɔ. The last tone is flat but i couldn't find it. Thanks again for the love ✨👍🏾👑👍🏿✨
Artisan_King Aaaaaw awesome name. Ôkôtô means the “Crab”. But your automatic Akan name should be the day of the month you were born. So google your date of birth:month/day/year to see what day of the month you were born and that gives you your first ever soul name+Ôkôtô. For males soul names: Sunday- Kwasi Monday- Kwadwo/kojo/joo/joojo Tuesday- Kwabena/Ekow/Kobii/Kobbi Wednesday - Kwaku/Kuu/Kuuku Thursday- Yaw Friday- Kofi/Koo/Kofie/Fiifi/Fii Saturday- Kwame/Kwamena
Even if the Y chromosome traces back to Portugal and Spain, you’re still a brother among all of us black people at the end of the day. Congrats on your maternal results and that they are traced back to present day Ghana.🇬🇭 I have white relatives who are distant and it’s because 2 percent is Europe and it’s from my maternal grandmother’s father being a white passing offspring between a white man from Great Britain and black/mixed woman from The Bahamas. Even knowing the setbacks, I was still able to take the MatriClan test and it traced back to 🇲🇱 Mali.
Brother you are giving me more proof of my ancestry research. My last name is balanta, which is a surname in colombia from my paternal line. Crazy thing, it is from the darker shade of my family in colombia. Also, I also seen it written as “Balante”
Wow this is fascinating! In many cases african born captives were given a slave name, usually christian and their tribe of origin or port where they were shipped from served as a surname.
Viejo, has investigado? Justo me hacía esa pregunta. He pensado por esos lares de la esclavitud pero no sé si ya hay acceso virtual al registro histórico de la nación (aunque en los libros eclesiásticos viejos si hay información).
Glad to see a fellow Black not happy to see "european blood" in your ancestry !!!!! I don't want to take those ancestry searches because I would not want to find out I have White slavers blood in my system ! No way !! And for the "deflectors" if I have Black slaves blood it would not upset me !!!!!!!!.
@@artisan_king460 thank you for responding family but what I was asking for is what’s the Letter and number of your haplogroup via L2a, L3e, L2c etc. ?
The Puerto Rico map is not accurate. On my mom's father side they had ancestry from Angola/Congo area and researching that time period when they arrived to Puerto Rico. Came from Mbundu people(there is a timeframe which has them as the main contributor of slaves to the Caribbean in 1700s). Proud of My African ancestry✊
Damn, that’s gotta hurt. I’d be devastated. Sorry❤️ I was scared to do mine cause my mother and grandmother both look mixed. I don’t but they do. Both have black parents. So I had low expectations. Lololol turns out I’m 91% African 🎊🎈 Somehow my uncle got my grandmother to take the test and turns out she’s 76% African. Shocker there. Thought she would be alot less. I guess you can’t judge a book by it’s color. Lol anyway, I’m 47% Igbo! Damn near half!! might as well say half….I’ll take it. Lololol Kinna disappointed was expecting Yoruba cause I’ve kinna embraced the Yoruba culture for years. But I’m too proud to be Igbo! Very proud! The men are fine…..
Grace and peace brother... what happened, you disappeared on us. You seem to poses a wealth of African cultural information. Brother your knowledge is need. People like me who have done their DNA, but are forced to load the results into GED-Match for clearer results. Yet even after doing so we are still just as lost to understanding the results as it relates to the tribes associated with our DNA. The result of my primary Population sources from GEDmatch beginning with the closest distance are: Bamoun (Ethiopian Jews), ...Kaba (Biaka Pygimes) and Fang (Mada). I've tried to research these group but have found a lot of conflicting information. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance brother.
Brother, where did you buy your dnatest kit from? I am living in Europe and planning to do an african ancestry result. Please could you help me out with advice? Thx
Okay cool bruh. I need to know your origins in regards to the slave trade. In general I would have to say at this point and time. Its best to get a 23andme time gone before Africanancestry because you can see if your haplotypes are of afro, euro or asian descent beforehand.

My niece wanted to find out where our Y chromosome came from because she had done one for the maternal side and found out she was Fulani I think. So she was looking for paternal and I agreed to do it and it came out to be Portugal. Also on a side note I don't know who's doing these pronunciations on the African tribes but it sounds as though the way a Hispanic person would pronounce them.
That's some good research but you can use those talents to help others. Maybe even working for a black research company or start your own local company that research for people imagine that.
Artisan_King nope 👎🏾. We Tikars migrantes from Sudan in the 14 and 15 century to northern Cameroon 🇨🇲, running away from the Jihads ( Islamic holy wars) and Arab slave trade . Search for fertile lands for our cattle 🐄 and agriculture . We migrated to the north west region of Cameroon 🇨🇲 . Grass field people as Cameroonian call us. 80% of our population was shipped to the the United state . Less than 1 when to southern and Central America. We had the chomba people found in north west Cameroon and the chamba found in Nigeria .
Artisan_King in Cameroon 🇨🇲 we are the artist, craft work music, the only people in Cameroon who have steel works in their culture are tikars you can see through cultural celebrations. Dan guns made in house. I my self made a couple of the early in life . Intertribal wars are still very common till these day . Cameroonian government thinks we are the most rebellious people in Cameroon 🇨🇲. Ndakefu “ invoking peace the spirit of the ancestors on you an your family,) love from the Tikar people of Cameroon 🇨🇲 . North west region Bamenda
That’s why you see 80% of ancestral house of Americans come down to Tikars . Southern America or Central America is very rare .

Fidel Castro strongly recognized it and consulted the deities before making a decisive move. went to the Schomburg!!! must be a Harlem bruh. Definitely subscribing
I know DNA testing can be very scary if you're an Afrocentric Black person of the diaspora. As much as I love African ancestry I have to say it probably I'm our best interest to start with 23andme. Even though those companies aren't anywhere near as trust worthy as African ancestry.
Great talk,, i was also a bit pathetic with that DNA test kinda, but wel we all wanna learn something or actually find back out selves... the BA KONGO is the main group. we have many other brides, yes we are all the BA KONGO as ethnicity , like the BA VILI they have been shifted from places to places now i really wanna learn more about my ancestry ..

I did my research also and it traces back to the Akan people in Ghana.I'm Jamaican and we have a oral history that says we come from the Akan People.The Akan People were fighting the Fante people.The Fante people sold their Akan war captives to the British who shipped them to JAMAICA.The Akan sold their Fante war captives to the Dutch who shipped them to Brazil.

@@missbabyloved7531 I have heard people say that the Fante tribe just ruled over Akan subgroups for awhile to the point where people started considering the Fante tribe to be Akan people too.I am aware that most people consider the Fante people to be Akan people however there are still some people who don't consider Fante people to be Akan people.I also believe my ancestors were sold into slavery to Jamaica as a result of Fante and Asante conflict.
There are actually other possibilities as to why you may have Spanish/Portuguese ancestor on your Y chromosome other than the one you mentioned. 1) We have the Spanish/Portuguese expelled Jews in the Americas. Many anglicised their names. Quite a few also had mixed relations. 2) We tend to think enslaved people did not travel or migrate once they reached the Americas but this isn't true. There was definitely movement between Haiti, Barbados, Jamaica, and Suriname with the US states. 3) Spain once controlled vast areas of what is now part of the southern and western US. Also, you have ports like New Orleans in Louisiana that traded with Spanish colonies. At one point between 1763 - 1803, New Orleans was controlled by Spain. It would be interesting to look into your family genealogy and see if any of this is part of your family story.
Don't focus too much on your Y chromosome, your X chromosome is Akan which means you are decendent of people who have matrilineal tradition in terms of inheritance , royal succession line etc....
When are you going to make some more videos? Are you on FB? African Amcestry FB page is awesome. Please post your results on the African Ancestry FB page. 👍🏾💛
You're forgetting that the Iberian Penninsula was occupied by dark skin, different ethnic groups from Kemet aka Alkebulan, the "world" ignorantly calls Africa. Also, this continent is only around 20 miles to the Iberian Penninsula, now called Spain/Portugal. Read about the Moorish Kingdom that ruled from 711AD to 1492.
Bless 🤣🤣🤣🤣 most african Americans will have european paternal haplogroups 👀 unless you are from the Gullah people’s..... but you are blessed because your maternal is from one of the strongest tribes in the continent The Akan 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
Some men profiting from slaving were also sub-Saharan African. Had you had a sub-Saharan Y chromosome, you could still have received it via males descended in the male line from a slaver. The sad fact is that slave trading and slave holding is part of human history generally.
Im looking into this due to my dads ancestry we have a african female ancestor who was saved by a native american ancestor that had a daughter with that man and that daughter got married to my ancestor in the 1800s and weve known this for around if not a bit over 200 years
I don't believe so. They don't consider the colonial era of the US, the needs of that particular colony, and who was brought there to supply those agricultural needs.
This was the same thing for me getting Spain. But I also can trace my ancestry back to Jamaica and as we know when the Spaniards first landed they ain’t being no women so we know what went down
If you claim to be a Black man yet have European paternal ancestry then you are not a Black man in my view and by scientific logic. I'm not trying to be mean but I have to say this. As a man, your Y chromosome determines your manhood. A Black man with European Y chromosome might as well call themselves white. I have noticed that some Black American men try to hide this by having maternal test instead. This in my view is disingenuous and does not mean anything by itself (if you are a Black American man) unless taken in conjunction with the paternal test. Further, although white men were raping slaves, Black American men for a major extent continued to dilute their bloodline with whites and other races long after slavery - even today. Therefore, we cannot lay all the blame on raping of slaves for the mixture as mixing continued after slavery - and Black Americans especially Black American men are willingly and actively seeking out whites and other non-Blacks to procreate with. I hate being a downer on anyone's DNA test but this is really getting on my nerves after watching several Black American results year after year.
That depends on the Ethnic group. Among the Akan it’s matrilineal descent, so to other Akan people, his matrilineal descent counts. Maybe to you as an individual and your ethnic group it doesn’t matter, but to the Akan people it’s relevant. Honestly, they have the final word and it’s for them to decide. So far from what I’ve seen in The comments, they seem to be cool with it. *What does interracial relationships have to do with it or the topic at hand? In America, 88% of black men marry black women. I provided info to support my last statement. Like the brother said, we are a multiethnic, multiracial (mostly African) ethnic group. www.thoughtco.com/the-top-myths-about-black-marriage-2834526
@@Daron7181 You are talking about matrilineality, matriclan to be exact. My tribe also follows a bilineal system where matrilineage is very important, in fact, sometimes more important than patrilineage just like the Akan. However, we are talking about race here. An Akan woman procreating with a white man does not make the child black or Akan, the child would be regarded as mixed, and in fact, most Africans would regard the child as white, not black and not even the the ethnic group of their black parent. In similarity, a mixed race child of an Akan man and a white woman would be regarded as mixed or even white, not Akan. The old African culture is very rigid and clear when it comes to race mixing. People can't pick and choose or use modern political correctness to justify what they want it to be. In similarity, a family which trace their descent from a mixed race ancestor would be regarded as "lalou" in my language, whilst other Africans have similar terms for it in their language. Literally, the term means a corrupted blood or a family whose bloodline has been corrupted. No noble African family will marry into that family and it was the role of griots to safeguard the genealogy and family history of their noble patrons to ensure their bloodline is not corrupted. Mixed families used to marry other mixed families. And in the early 19th century, all the mixed families who did not have a long history in my country where evacuated to France and Portugal.
I hope you see this. Many Portuguese were also enslaved. Slavery in Eurooe was a common thing. I. Romany and they were enslaved from ATLEAST the 800s until 1880s. More than likely, that ancestry was from fellow slaves.

Also I would say that many relations between enslaved women and white men were consensual I don’t know if it makes better or worse for an African American but I find it better than assume all of us mixed people came from rape.
Yes that is extremely far. I also have similar doubts, however we should keep in mind that Europeans traded us like Pokemon cards. Not only in the "New world" but also along the coastlines of West and Central Africa.
I am white with green eyes and my paternal african amcestry results are from Nzebi people in Gabon its not all about skin color (yh my father is half black)
We need to stop worrying about this. Nothing can change it. Africans SOLD other Africans to other races. Thats how it was. Lets move forward. Im not ulset at what I have in my Ancestry report. Its what happened.
The Y result is very common for black males in the Americas. It's like 40 percent so no huge surprise there. That's a lot of money to find that out though lol
Being a African American, this test was a must have. Just got my results back from my Maternal Ancestry and love what I found out. Maternal results are Fula people from Guinea Bissau and Mende from Sierra Leone 🇬🇼🇸🇱
That is excellent bruh! So glad you shared your amazing results. 🖤👍🏿✨

Be that as it may, he’s entitled to feel however he wants to feel about it though. I don’t think that anyone would exactly be thrilled to find out they were the byproduct of rape. We all know it happened…but still it’s not “great news”. On the flip, I know many white folks that would absolutely freak out if they had African ancestry.
❤❤❤❤❤... I now wonder how many other African American blacks never considered that they were created through the slave trade? We got to learn American. Critical race theory is not a theory it's American history.
So, the Africans wasnt doing any rapes to the slaves they was selling? How do you think you got that African DNA? You don't even know who you are!
Brother man, akan (koromanti) culture can also be found on the northeast part of Mexico 🇲🇽 . Also, after the 1821 independence from the kingdom of Spain 🇪🇸!!! our first president of mexico was also biracial indigenous from Mexico and from mother Africa.

I am white by appearance and cultural experience. While doing family research I came across census records of my family being free people of color. We are melungeon, a mix of European, African and native, some were light skinned enough to pass for white some were very dark. My point being, it is possible that your mix came from people who loved each other and didn't see race as a barrier. I sadly agree with everything you said being most likely....I am very moved by what I discovered about the Freeman side of my family. Turns out it was a declaration that became our family name. There is a hidden history of isolate communities of free people of color mixing with and living free but hiding from the establishment. A story untold. My great grandmother referred to us as black dutch, Mississippi slang for mixed heritage. She would say, we ain't American, we black dutch, don t tell anyone cause it ain't safe.... now that I understand what she meant I wish I could tell her , no grandma we are American, and it's safe now. I pray that your journey into your roots shows you things that lift your spirit . And thank you for sharing such an honest and personal video, it's conversations that start with videos like this that will lead to cultural healing and personal grounding, don't get any more beautiful than that!
Peace brother give thanks for this video as well as the research you have put in. I did my African Ancestry tests in 2010 with my matrilineal ancestry being connected to Temne of Sierra Leone, Kru of Liberia and Mandinka of Senegal. All of which can be found within each country as they have been around before the colonial borders. My paternal ancestry is of Ewe of Ghana. I made my first trip to Africa this past year going to Sierra Leone fortunately twice. Sierra Leone is the only country to my knowledge that have given citizenship based off of DNA. As they have done so for celebrities like Isaiah Washington. Well I was part of a group he recently received citizenship this past November in Sierra Leone. It’s important to know when we find our results we are welcomed by our brothers, sisters, cousins back home. Salute my fellow Ghanian brother. I just subscribed keep up the good works.

That's why they recommend the Maternal DNA test and not Paternal for the very reason why you're upset. Yes, they used our female ancestors for sex as well as labor.
i heard it much different that X DNA carries more significance. maybe that is so in some tribes and not in others. the X DNA interest me moreso than Y.
The Y chromosome is the bloodline
The X chromosome is the mtdna
Your origin is the Y
@@iknowthetruthcommonsense3643That's only true in a society that looks at lineage solely through that lens. Most precolonial African societies were matrimonial. As well, identifying ourselves by the y chromosome that came from a European rapist and human trafficker would be unhealthy.

@@nanakgee I'm Just Recently Understanding Why My ADOS Family Marry Guyanese & The Connection Is We're AKAN...Same People❣️
Yeah. They (African Ancestry) recommend that people do the mitochondrial dna test, even if you are male because of the Euro admixture tending to be running in the male line. The male test is going to very likely come out as Euro, which if you are looking specifically at your African genes, is useless.
Europeans weren't necessarily pure caucASIANS themselves. Even they have our bloodline as well:

Great research. Teach what you have learned. So to empower others to learn about self.
Don't teach what you're earning... it is a life time struggle to acquire as oppose to immersing yourself in the custom and cultures of your ancestors... Our forebares often said.. learn to crawl before you learn to run. so long.

You did really good research and the Akan, Fon, Yoruba and Congo-Angola people did have a large impact in the Americas, but I think that the Mande people (Mandingo, Mende, etc.) arguably may have had the biggest impact of all. The Mande influence included stuff like rice, the banjo, blues music, Islam and a lot of other stuff in the Americas. Yes I took African Ancestry and I am Mande on my maternal and paternal lines.
They did not create rice or blues that's a lie wow
@@sheenamiles1838 What nonsense are you even writing? Maybe you should try reading for comprehension. Then when your comprehension skills improve you should try rereading what what was actually written, because no where was it written that they created rice. You just lack reading comprehension and assumed stuff that was not actually written. However, rice was one of the staple crops of Mande people and the reason that South Carolina planters sought them. The Mande people then brought their music, which is now known as what we call the Blues.

"Koom-ba-ya"/ come by here ...my Lord
It's possible the paternal "European ancestry" might be incorrect. I say this because there are some Africans that have the haplogroup "R1b" that originated in West Eurasia, most western European males have this haplogroup. But some Africans have this as well because in the bronze age some Eurasians migrated and mixed with Africans. I remember I was reading a study and it said that 11% of Bakongo men have this "R1b" haplogroup but they automatically assumed it was from recently, from Portuguese men colonizing the Congo and Angola. But this doesn't make sense because when you test the average bakongo person in ancestry DNA, they get 100% African so they have no European in them.
I hope you read this and have a nice day
Also the Hausa men carry eurasian haplogroup R1b
They have played a lot of games with the Haplogroupse
You are absolutely incorrect normalizing rape smh
Your haplogroup reflects a tiny part of your overall DNA. It may not be exactly right when they say Portugal. Hard to explain but most European men in America have some type of R1b.
@@Lonnell99 they have R-V88. This is distantly related to the R that Europeans have. R and Q both came from P in Central Asia but R moved towards Europe but some went to Africa.
Henry Luis Gates first test showed all European ancestry and he had to take a second test to get the African ancestry. Did you know more people of African descent were shipped to South America than slaves sent to North America?
I spent 20 years doing research on my Grandmother’s mother and father family. I was given my first clue by my genealogical advisor that my grandmother’s family had a Scottish last name Wilson on both sides for 4 maybe 5 generations. A Wilson married a Wilson unrelated and I traced them on census records. Then I researched how Scottish men interact with people who were of African & Cherokee’s origin.
Spain can also inter the picture they too were involved in slavery which gets you to Mexico, Central America, and South America.
The Scottish were involved in the sugarcane shipping trade in Jamaica, slave trade, plantation owners and it becomes very clear why there are so many Scottish names showing up in so many different areas of the earth.
It is a lot of work but I wanted to know my family’s story. I wrote down oral stories. Then I researched to see if it matched up with history, the time period and historical records.
Henry Louis Gates jr said that only 5% of all African-Americans have Native American ancestry. One member of my family walked the trail of tears and she was black. She was born in one of the states, Tennessee, which was part of the Cherokee nation. She was a slave of wealthy Cherokee. A lot of people do not know wealthy Cherokee owned slaves and many of them walked the trail of tears ( walking 800 miles to be west of the Mississippi river). The wealthy Cherokee had strong ties with Scottish. Scottish men could not own land that belong to the Cherokee’s but they could marry into the woman’s clan and their children would inherit the land. These men taught their children the Economics of slavery. They also educated their children in the north their sons became doctors and lawyers they built real towns that had streets and churches schools and they built houses well their slaves did most of the work. From time to time some Cherokees that were mixed with Scottish blood built Scottish Manors There are many African Americans that have Scottish last names.
I followed my family by census records to confirm that the stories matched up with history. One woman in particular in our family records it mentions she was a free black woman from England who traveled to America before slavery had ended. Another story my grandmother told me was her mothers name was Halle Quinn Wilson. The Quinn sounded very different in the name and she didn’t know where that name came from. But when I interviewed her sister she told me that their mother was named after a famous black woman. That woman was named Holly Quinn Brown look her up she is a fantastic lady! The name Quinn came from honoring a bishop from the AME church. He stood on the free side of the river and preach to the slaves on the other side of the river.
So don’t get discouraged because there are so many wonderful and interesting people who are part of our family’s history. Sometimes I got so attached to these people when it dawned on me that they have long since passed off the scene, but will be remembered only if, we keep talking about them or reading or writing their stories down. Think of it as a giant 5000 piece puzzle, but when you finish putting all the pieces together it becomes very clear it’s a beautiful portrait of your family.
Wow, thanks for much for the insightful information. It's truely amazing. I have a video in the works concerning my admixture / autosomal results
Wow that’s beautiful
So much history, so interesting to see how these concepts are playing out with the changes taking place in 2020...

You can also check your mother’s father line. Even though you are not a direct descendant of his father line but you do share about a quarter of his dna. It may be interesting to check some of your close dna cousins that you may share gr grandparents with. This can be achieved if you do 23andme. The problem is if or not do you share same parent lines in the past.

Hi, What Are Your Results❔
Leroy, you really did your research
Portuguese were the first European to enslave African people (during fifteenth century). Maybe when your ancestors landed in USA they already had Iberian origins. The only eastern African country who was involved in the slave trade was Mozambico which was a Portuguese colony. There is still a castle in Mozambico and it was used for that horrible trade.
Thanks for the info!

All the different Akan groups are the same blood and the same culture just people moved different parts of the region and get their group names for what they are known for or the main settlers name, all the Akan groups in Ivory Coast are directly from the Asante area as well and moved on to Ivory Coast area when they didn’t want to be part of wars going on back then so it’s not something to worry about really.

Rather it was the group Asante which was last to be formed with people from the different groups of Akan who were freedom fighters against the Denkyera group at the time which was imposing on all the other Akan groups and that’s why some moved to the area of Ivory Coast 🇨🇮. ❤️
@@missbabyloved7531 I have heard people say that the Fante tribe just ruled over Akan subgroups for awhile to the point where people started considering the Fante tribe to be Akan people too.I am aware that most people consider the Fante people to be Akan people however there are still some people who don't consider Fante people to be Akan people.I also believe my ancestors were sold into slavery to Jamaica as a result of Fante and Asante conflict.
There are actually other possibilities as to why you may have Spanish/Portuguese ancestor on your Y chromosome other than the one you mentioned.
1) We have the Spanish/Portuguese expelled Jews in the Americas. Many anglicised their names. Quite a few also had mixed relations.
2) We tend to think enslaved people did not travel or migrate once they reached the Americas but this isn't true. There was definitely movement between Haiti, Barbados, Jamaica, and Suriname with the US states.
3) Spain once controlled vast areas of what is now part of the southern and western US. Also, you have ports like New Orleans in Louisiana that traded with Spanish colonies. At one point between 1763 - 1803, New Orleans was controlled by Spain.
It would be interesting to look into your family genealogy and see if any of this is part of your family story.
Don't focus too much on your Y chromosome, your X chromosome is Akan which means you are decendent of people who have matrilineal tradition in terms of inheritance , royal succession line etc....
Thanks I'm working on a video about that
excellent video. very intellectual.
Brother watch Benayah Israel's videos on Slaves from Portugal and Spain. Be blessed
When are you going to make some more videos? Are you on FB? African Amcestry FB page is awesome. Please post your results on the African Ancestry FB page. 👍🏾💛
Will do 🖤👍🏾

Fascinating
You're forgetting that the Iberian Penninsula was occupied by dark skin, different ethnic groups from Kemet aka Alkebulan, the "world" ignorantly calls Africa. Also, this continent is only around 20 miles to the Iberian Penninsula, now called Spain/Portugal. Read about the Moorish Kingdom that ruled from 711AD to 1492.
Bless 🤣🤣🤣🤣 most african Americans will have european paternal haplogroups 👀 unless you are from the Gullah people’s..... but you are blessed because your maternal is from one of the strongest tribes in the continent The Akan 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
That's a god damn lie. Only like 30% of Black American men have a European paternal haplogroup. It's alot but still is not most.
What about the Blackamoors who ruled in Spain and Europe from 711 up to the renaissance era?
All African Americans need to do paper research genealogy, piecing together all lines of their family tree
Facts 💯
Big ups Family.
Thanks bruh
Where did u get ur necklace from

Some men profiting from slaving were also sub-Saharan African. Had you had a sub-Saharan Y chromosome, you could still have received it via males descended in the male line from a slaver. The sad fact is that slave trading and slave holding is part of human history generally.
Great video and Research
Excellent video !
I took the test and learned that I'm descended from the Balanta people of Guinea Bissau! ✊🏾✊🏾🇬🇼🇬🇼🇬🇼✊🏾✊🏾
Nice respect
Im looking into this due to my dads ancestry we have a african female ancestor who was saved by a native american ancestor that had a daughter with that man and that daughter got married to my ancestor in the 1800s and weve known this for around if not a bit over 200 years
Well, your ancestors! 😆 You're the second individual but she is Tuber who is British maternal.
I got cameroon on paternal lineage and Igbo Nigeria on my maternal lineage
Something must have happened during the Bantu expansion in cameroon and wonder if Nigeria was affected by it
Bruh, I'm so happy to hear it! I will be sharing for more DNA 🧬 reveals soon.
@@artisan_king460 I look forward to it
What about the Igbo / Biafran??!!
If it's any comfort, I thought you were my fellow Igbo tribesman before you started speaking. Vast numbers of Igbo people were also taken.
Nice my big 🤟 good job
So Leroy, these ancestry companies, are they accurate in their information gathering?
I am working on a video that will address this issue.
I don't believe so. They don't consider the colonial era of the US, the needs of that particular colony, and who was brought there to supply those agricultural needs.
This was the same thing for me getting Spain. But I also can trace my ancestry back to Jamaica and as we know when the Spaniards first landed they ain’t being no women so we know what went down
If you claim to be a Black man yet have European paternal ancestry then you are not a Black man in my view and by scientific logic. I'm not trying to be mean but I have to say this. As a man, your Y chromosome determines your manhood. A Black man with European Y chromosome might as well call themselves white. I have noticed that some Black American men try to hide this by having maternal test instead. This in my view is disingenuous and does not mean anything by itself (if you are a Black American man) unless taken in conjunction with the paternal test. Further, although white men were raping slaves, Black American men for a major extent continued to dilute their bloodline with whites and other races long after slavery - even today. Therefore, we cannot lay all the blame on raping of slaves for the mixture as mixing continued after slavery - and Black Americans especially Black American men are willingly and actively seeking out whites and other non-Blacks to procreate with. I hate being a downer on anyone's DNA test but this is really getting on my nerves after watching several Black American results year after year.
That depends on the Ethnic group. Among the Akan it’s matrilineal descent, so to other Akan people, his matrilineal descent counts. Maybe to you as an individual and your ethnic group it doesn’t matter, but to the Akan people it’s relevant. Honestly, they have the final word and it’s for them to decide. So far from what I’ve seen in The comments, they seem to be cool with it.
*What does interracial relationships have to do with it or the topic at hand? In America, 88% of black men marry black women. I provided info to support my last statement. Like the brother said, we are a multiethnic, multiracial (mostly African) ethnic group.

@@Daron7181 You are talking about matrilineality, matriclan to be exact. My tribe also follows a bilineal system where matrilineage is very important, in fact, sometimes more important than patrilineage just like the Akan. However, we are talking about race here. An Akan woman procreating with a white man does not make the child black or Akan, the child would be regarded as mixed, and in fact, most Africans would regard the child as white, not black and not even the the ethnic group of their black parent. In similarity, a mixed race child of an Akan man and a white woman would be regarded as mixed or even white, not Akan. The old African culture is very rigid and clear when it comes to race mixing. People can't pick and choose or use modern political correctness to justify what they want it to be. In similarity, a family which trace their descent from a mixed race ancestor would be regarded as "lalou" in my language, whilst other Africans have similar terms for it in their language. Literally, the term means a corrupted blood or a family whose bloodline has been corrupted. No noble African family will marry into that family and it was the role of griots to safeguard the genealogy and family history of their noble patrons to ensure their bloodline is not corrupted. Mixed families used to marry other mixed families. And in the early 19th century, all the mixed families who did not have a long history in my country where evacuated to France and Portugal.
The introduction of the Y chromosome was not necessarily a result of slavery and rape. That is pure conjecture.
Koromanti is a town in the central of Ghana
I hope you see this.
Many Portuguese were also enslaved. Slavery in Eurooe was a common thing. I. Romany and they were enslaved from ATLEAST the 800s until 1880s.
More than likely, that ancestry was from fellow slaves.
Cool my friend
Akan that is Ghana..
And what makes you think your Spanish dna isn’t Moorish or Sephardic?
Hope you visit Ghana 🇬🇭 soon
Can I ask you about your DNA report?
Sure, what's up.

Fantastic...👍👍👍👍✌️
Every African American has European. It does not take away from your African side ! My wife did her ancestry test and was shocked at her paternal lineage to northern Europe on both sides of her family! She was 67% west African,21% British 11% Portuguese plus 1% Arab. She is dark skinned and i was shocked at the amount of European!!! She was like whatever its history !
it honestly sucks i found oy my great grandma was raped making my grandfather mixedi feel so robbed i want to cry i hate tht yt ppl did this to our ppl
Not only are we a mixed race,we are all related thru the chattle regulated by white portugese on the west coast of africa and islands ,and in the americas. chattle also took place on the island,of coast of middle and south america also island of south carolina, where slaves were 'seasoned' in an attempt to seperate those who understood each others language,not english of course.before comeing here,or where ever your a slave descendent of,we were prestigious,smart people having all the skills to work for masters.we did read and write,just not in english.
You’re leaving out the Igbo ethnic group of Nigeria. They were the 3rd largest ethnic group from Africa in the U.S. after Congo-Angola.
Prior to the slave trade, Trinadad and Tobago was populated byarawak and Carib Indians of which very little physical trace remains..!!. Live a blessed life, be strong, live for today don't worry about the past, or you'll miss the the now.!!
i'M SORRY my man but all of us are all mixed up . I like to say Heinz 57. Even Africans have different tribes from different parts of Africa . Whoever was in charge or had a bigger Army
There's no such thing as mixed, part, half or biracial
I was very disappointed too my mother line came up European so now im getting my father side is being tested hopefully it will come back African
I am very sorry to hear that.
I have some doubts about African Ancestry as I sent my father’s dna and I know even by documents he has an Angolan-Congolese origin on his father’s side though his Y DNA came out to be from Balanta people from northwestern Africa, it’s kinda far. Also I would say that many relations between enslaved women and white men were consensual I don’t know if it makes better or worse for an African American but I find it better than assume all of us mixed people came from rape.
Yes that is extremely far. I also have similar doubts, however we should keep in mind that Europeans traded us like Pokemon cards. Not only in the "New world" but also along the coastlines of West and Central Africa.
I have family from Guyana! Let me find out I have Akan lineage!
Yeah bruh, that may definitely be the case!
My ADOS Family Marry Guyanese & Probably Because Of Our AKAN ANCESTRY❣️
Awesome Report
I am white with green eyes and my paternal african amcestry results are from Nzebi people in Gabon its not all about skin color (yh my father is half black)
I understand why you're upset.
We need to stop worrying about this.
Nothing can change it.
Africans SOLD other Africans to other races. Thats how it was.
Lets move forward.
Im not ulset at what I have in my Ancestry report.
Its what happened.
The Y result is very common for black males in the Americas. It's like 40 percent so no huge surprise there. That's a lot of money to find that out though lol
Yeah, that hurt on so many different levels.
Actually it's closer to 30% I think. Still is alot.
