Strom Thurmond for example. It happened all the time, but no one talks about it. It was a shameful thing that happen. That's why it bothered her and she got a little uncomfortable around the collar.

Yes indigenous Americans are dark, but they are not black afro type. They are dark red straight hair types. Where are these so called black native people you are talking about then? Because any black person who gets tested in America is going to come back African. Thats because yall are from Africa.

Both my grandmother and great-aunt (sisters) look like Indians: they had the almond eyes, high & wide cheek bones, naturally straight black hair and very prominent red under skin tone. In retrospect: remembering them alive and now their pics, I still did not expect Native American % results.

      AB Original Right n Exact AB... they fail to comprehend that there are the Siberian Mongoloid Native Americans and the 9 Ether Melanoid/Negroid Aborigine American. 2 clearly different groups of Americans.
      How are they going to challenge and discard Grandma's history and denote it to Africa.
      Did they even ask grandma does she have family from Africa? Any relatives? Or even heard of relatives from Africa. Walter Plecker's reclassification policy did a number on us and the simple minded offspring today is perpetuating it...smgdh.
      Umm excuse me if you've been here for thousands of years this is home let's cut the dumb sh*t ppl.
      I mean we are Negroids and obviously we are going to have similarities but please understand, "DNA kits are good for connecting family members and finding relatives thats it!

      The European part may have come from Scotch Irish who settled I Appalachia in the 1700 and 1800's who mixed with Native Americans, especially the Cherokee. They both originally assimilated quite well. The Cherokee then began to mix with African Americans.

    • @visionquest7870
      @visionquest7870 Před 5 lety +1

      Mickey F'in Mouse you are right. The Mande people are originally from the Empire of Mali. A lot of the Mande migrated west on something called the Mane Invasion in 15th Century after the Empire of Mali went into decline and the Empire of Songhay became a successor State. That invasion is how so many Mande people ended up in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, which is where many of them were enslaved during tribal warfare and sent to the Americas. Some of the Mande groups that were enslaved were the Mende, Mandingos, Susu, Vai, Loko, Kpelle and others.

      Keep in mind that you can have Native American and it not show because very often the ancestor was mixed.(so decades later the percentage is negligible).

    How sweet that your grandma made it to see 101 years old! I wish my grandmother was still alive to know that this technology is now in effect for us to find out who we are. My grandmother told me that I had native American in our family on her side. I don't know what that percent is however I'm quite sure she would have found out the rest. My dad took the DNA test and told my daughter that his ancestral line was of the Kroo tribe in Africa.
