❤❤❤ can I get an amen! It helps all to know, who we are. DNA IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT. I do believe we need education. Keep the faith. ❤❤❤
It's hard to believe a race of people would just sell thier own kind to whom ever they wanted. What's worse is how it's still a thing. 😢
She’s beautiful
Evil, evil woman
I hope Ringo Starr goes on Finding Your Roots! Or even Gary Numan & Tom Jones!
shes a black racists
That’s interesting. My DNA results came back 5.9% African from Benin / Togo. I was expecting to see Native American but it turns out they were just Claiming that since the time of segregation. DNA is amazing.
I can wait for the full video of the Douglas clan. I remember he has some other roots. Spanish I believe. I always wonder how they can come up with these different names and places and know it as fact. Was there any DNA done?
Leave it to state run PBS to leave out the actual part we're all here to see where it's revealed that she's a descendant of white folks who arrived in the Mayflower.
Thank you for your help
I'm amazed how many people survived the holocaust.
He just hit lotto.
Edinbro Scotland 😂😂😂 Edinburgh would have been a really tough place to live back in these days of 1818
When is she going to pay ME my reparations! She must pay for her privilege! What a hypocrite. Wow this woman got exposed!
The beautiful thing about this is the fact that God knows who he created us to be, and he knows what gifts and talents that he wants to give us. Everything is in divine order. Her grandfather lost the family farm, and the family moved to New Jersey, where the family had opportunity to grow their careers in music and be who they are today. I’ve been to Blakely Georgia, and had the family still been in the area, there would be no Dionne Warwick as we know her, there would be no Cissy Houston as we know her, there would be no Whitney Houston as we know her, there would be no Drinkard Singers as we know them, and there would be no Dee Dee Warwick as we know her. This is a true testament that God really does bring beauty through pain.
What about her WHITE ANCESTORS that came over on the Mayflower that owned slaves?
I give him so much props for standing up and speaking out out racism-he’s one of the few celebrities that seem the most authentic. And for that I appreciate and applaud him. I am not usually a fan girl type of person but he definitely gets my vote of if I have to meet any celebrity 🥰
god messnger of all gods is me my hand on your SOULS
My ancestors too.
I was born in Chausy. It’s amazing that my grandmother, who was born in 1898, may well have known the Danilevich family. Never had the chance to ask her_
Lol both of these people are whiter than I am. What even is this.
So taking part in false persecutions and witch hunts is just family business for Deff Janiels.
yeah.. and they should know better, and prevent another holocaust but they support it more.. i dont understand..
This gorgeous man has such charisma. He is so young to have such wisdom.
How can I find someone to do all of this for me?
By the time you go back 8 generations, statistically you share almost ZERO DNA with your "ancestor"! 0.00188% in fact!
I am looking for help. I have been working on tracing my ancestors on my biological father's family line through his paternal grandmother a woman named Lura Bass. I can find ancestors back to my 8th great grandfather, a man named William,the Elder, Bass whose mother was Elizabeth ( a Namsemond native woman) but his father is listed as a sub-saharan African man with a specific DNA marker of A-m31. How can I try to find this man?
DNA is amazing!
These DNA tests are not accurate. I took my DNA by three different genome companies and the results were all quite different!!!
She’s a sister. Cool!
But Charlemagne and the middle ages didn't exist. I heard it on a podcast from a Dr. Did you know the world is flat and Elon Musk is a lizard? All aboard the Trump Train!! CHOO CHOOOOO!
She and my aunt look almost identical.
As soon as i saw a pic of vivian cash i instantly saw the black in her!!!
The Black Eagle could handle it!
He has such a beautiful and resonant voice.
Danny's mother was gorgeous ❤
England didn't send us their best? 😁
Anger is a natural human response.
That guy is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍. ❤Shelea
Jesse always speaks on race in America so eloquently.
It's always easy for a white person who has a dark complexion to say they have Native American Ancestry. This might explain why his first wife was a biracial or light-completed black woman.
I love Family History
Pure Gold ❤
'my people' is a racist statement
Hi Bill: I'm your 40th cousin. I too am related to Charlemange and his 3rd wife. Cindy Crawford is also related and we look alike. One of my French ancestors was in the Battle of Hastings and was eventually given a great estate as tribute in Stratford-on-Avon England and they were part of the House of Lords.
Angela is a mess. She needs to retire to her home, and look after a few cats and keep her mouth shut.
When she first looked up at him from reading, it hurt my heart. Her eyes told it all.
One of the better ones we all have things to be proud of and things that we regret, it doesn't make a person all bad or all good.
This has some inaccurate information. In Tracy Morgan’s DNA results it says 5% Jewish-Peoples of Europe. Some Jews did live in Europe as part of the Diaspora. But they were not considered European. Henry Louis Gates Jr. also refers to Tracy Morgan’s Great Grandfather as “Half White.” Jewish people are not White nor European. The Jewish people are Indigenous to the Middle East and have existed longer than the concept of race. Judaism is a religion but also a distinct ethnicity, and have been racialized at various points throughout history. Please be sure to communicate this information correctly in future episodes. Thank you!
Exactly Ashkenazi Jews are Middle eastern, before Eastern Europe we lived in Germany and before that Italy and Judea. I am part Ashkenazi myself and we are Hebrews.
