it's like, who gives a shit?vv;
that's where I'm at with it :kii:
ddddd I didn't before I came on here and started seeing it everyday. I mean.... am black. Kinda all I need to know. But it is a little intriguing when I think about it. But not something I would dedicate alot of time to.
yea i dont really care tbqfh
not about to stress myself just to find out my great great grand mame was a slave and stuff
d
but good for those that do
I personally don't see where the influx of all the ancestry/ethnicity threads have come from. I'm black, knowing where my ancestors come from won't change that lol.
Some ppl take pride in different things so I mean...power to em
I swear they need to sponsor B Source, all of this promo for that test :plzstop:

Yea... I think for a lot of people its just the idea of finding something "edgy" in their bloodline. I never cared before, but now I want to fucking know. Its just the fact of not knowing ANY family history and having that right taken away from me. :uhh:

I mean I don't think it's a life or death issue if you search for your REAL truth or not,
But I think we're seriously one of the only groups of people who don't TRULY know themselves
From our "given" last names to where we were brought as slaves here; our past goes MUCH further than that, and it's more rich and beautiful than most of us can imagine.
Some of us may find that we have ancestors from all over the world.
I'm going to do mine soon.
I'm excited to trace back my history a bit ❤️

Knowing your lineage is not the same as honoring Black history, not sure how you came to that conclusion but ..mkay!
Aside from learning where your ancestors came from, what else is gonna to derive from the results?! I'm not gonna be able to call up a cousin in Libya.

For the people who are fine with only knowing that their forefathers were slaves, do you ever feel slighted that Nate and Paul can say "oh am Irish...dads side, moms family is from England." And youre "just Black." Does that bother you or do you just not care overall
!!!!!
I don't get it :dead:
I gather that they basically dont value Black history, to put it simply. Again, massa is happy. Theres nothing interesting or desirable about knowing what part of poor ass AIDS ridden Africa you got your nose from.
sarcasm.
Knowing your lineage is not the same as honoring Black history, not sure how you came to that conclusion but ..mkay!
Aside from learning where your ancestors came from, what else is gonna to derive from the results?! I'm not gonna be able to call up a cousin in Libya.
Oh our ancestors! Come visit!
Being Black is an experience. Society and myself consider me Black for that experience and my skin color not from where my ancestors derive from.
Yall act like yall are first born immigrants. Give me a fuckin break lolz

Glad to know the places in Africa I descend from.
As Americans we are taught to see it as a "country" with giraffes, antelope and babies with swollen bellies.
The next time i plan an overseas trip it will not be to Europe.
It will be to Ethiopia . Or Ghana.
Glad I know my truth. And can now connect myself with the motherland.

Yea... I think for a lot of people its just the idea of finding something "edgy" in their bloodline. I never cared before, but now I want to fucking know. Its just the fact of not knowing ANY family history and having that right taken away from me. :uhh:
Yes. I feel the same
I didn't care before. Or I would have done it a while back.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that I'll judge them.
I mean last year I really didn't care enough to look into it.
Didn't mean I was an idiot, just means I wasn't curious. lol.
Nothing wrong with identifying yourself as "just black"
But I think the harm comes from insulting others who actually care about their roots....by telling them they're "just black".
Or looking down on those who aren't yet curious to find out where they come from.
Some people, in my opinion, are just irreversibly miserable in some way, and can find the negative in anything put before them. That's something they'd need to address on their own time, and it's a process which is way more tedious and revealing than any DNA test. Good luck
I just love Young :stressed:

See I agree that we shouldn't judge them
But the term "Black" is so generic and it's a new term.
I think that sad part is that it's a name given to us.
"black" literally doesn't point us back to anything (for us here in the U.S) . Just that we have ancestors that were slaves and now we're here in the U.S. There's no richness or beauty in that tbh. Or at least IMO.
And I really didn't understand that until i started traveling and people identify themselves with their origins. Whether it's from multiple places or just one. For example people from Hawaii don't say "I'm Hawaiian" if they're not original Hawaiians. They say "I'm half Filipino , and part Japanese and German " for example.
That's their identity. That's beautiful because it depicts a picture.
"black" just gives me ????
And I use to tell people When they'd ask that I was black. Just black. And then they would say okay but I could tell it didn't really ANSWER the question for them. And then I started realizing that I could trace ancestors from Japan (and even my Irish and Indian relatives) . My " black" just stopped with America. And it kinda saddened me. We have such a deeper and richer history and we need to trace that. And tbh sis YOU also helped me realize that. So thank you.
We are SO much more than just "Black". And I won't tell people that anymore....once I do my DNA tea

What is so wrong with African American though, that is an ethnic group in itself. I mean Dominicans don't go back to Cote D'Ivoire either, so I kind of feel it is stupid to claim some African tribe if culturally you hail from an African American background, which has a rich and beautiful history too.
fjbfdddd

I'm crying
Not everyone is gonna care
Yeah, but that doesn't mean that I'll judge them.
I mean last year I really didn't care enough to look into it.
Didn't mean I was an idiot, just means I wasn't curious. lol.
Nothing wrong with identifying yourself as "just black"
But I think the harm comes from insulting others who actually care about their roots....by telling them they're "just black".
Or looking down on those who aren't yet curious to find out where they come from.
Some people, in my opinion, are just irreversibly miserable in some way, and can find the negative in anything put before them. That's something they'd need to address on their own time, and it's a process which is way more tedious and revealing than any DNA test. Good luck
See I agree that we shouldn't judge them
But the term "Black" is so generic and it's a new term.
I think that sad part is that it's a name given to us.
"black" literally doesn't point us back to anything (for us here in the U.S) . Just that we have ancestors that were slaves and now we're here in the U.S. There's no richness or beauty in that tbh. Or at least IMO.
And I really didn't understand that until i started traveling and people identify themselves with their origins. Whether it's from multiple places or just one. For example people from Hawaii don't say "I'm Hawaiian" if they're not original Hawaiians. They say "I'm half Filipino , and part Japanese and German " for example.
That's their identity. That's beautiful because it depicts a picture.
"black" just gives me ????
And I use to tell people When they'd ask that I was black. Just black. And then they would say okay but I could tell it didn't really ANSWER the question for them. And then I started realizing that I could trace ancestors from Japan (and even my Irish and Indian relatives) . My " black" just stopped with America. And it kinda saddened me. We have such a deeper and richer history and we need to trace that. And tbh sis YOU also helped me realize that. So thank you.
We are SO much more than just "Black". And I won't tell people that anymore....once I do my DNA tea
Yess Young, shit

:sevynstreeter:
Exactly.
The same ones who will tell others. "you just BLACK u aint fucking special!!! :fuming: "
are the very ones who will casually mention how their great great great great great great Grandmother was supposedly 1/4 Cherokee.
I'm glad that many of us are finally finding out our truths. So we can no longer walk in complete ignorance, with these tales that are in large part completely fictional.

And for some strange reason even when I tell certain ppl they assume I'm not black and will say some lowkey racist shit towards blacks. Just last week some Asian lady at Nordstorms asked my mom and I where we were from and we told her she was like "Oh oh, not black!" and did that hand gesture when you don't want something and was like I could tell by your light skin" and laughed fjfjfj I was so shocked.

I need to fucking KNOW!
OMG.
I am SO happy for you, my love.
Please share the results, if you are comfortable enough.
If not, so be it. This is for YOU.
I am just glad I inspired you. I spoke to a few BLACK people at my job and they are looking into theirs as well.
Notice, I said BLACK people. No point in me going to Suzy and encouraging her to research her roots.
You should see the way their eyes light up in person. They get so happy at just the thought of finding out. It makes me so happy. For African Americans, ancestry goes so much further for us than just taking a test and getting results.
It connects us to something that we have been lowkey taught NOT to connect with : the fucking MotherLand. And yes we have other specks of other mess in us here and there from slavery. But will I waste my time research Scandanavia and mess.....to trace the roots of the coon who raped my ancestors? I'm here for my African roots. As well as my smaller Native ancestry.

Summer 2016. I am so fucking excited.
It's such a blessing to be able to connect myself to places in Africa.
I never had a reason to go before. It was "just" Africa.
Yes, we are "black", but people forget it's just another word for African American.
We know all about the American, there is NO harm in getting in tune a bit with the Africa part.
And I am thankful to know my great grandmother's native roots right here in North Carolina with the Lumbee tribe. I'm going to plan something maybe with my grandmother, the blood is obviously much stronger in her and although she knows her family mess VERY well....you can tell that she's excited that I am actually able to confirm it.

It's just so fuckin ironic and rich to hear people who were just condeming Black people for their behaviors while undermining the struggles they face in America a FEW months ago, try to lecture or harp on other's about what they feel it means to be Black or the importance of the word/ethnicity.
Forgive me, but if y'all don't get the fuck out of here! :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
and "BLACK" isn't a word just for African Americans it is used internationally to describe people with a certain pigmentation.

I just can't argue on here no more :dead:
Unless it's about Faith or fat asses!
I no longer have it in me :dead:
Why wouldn't someone want to know more about themselves or where they came from ...
Ch
I agree
And no they may not "hate" themselves
And they may even be proud to be "black"
But you're more than just "Black"
That's a title GIVEN to you just like your last name.
You're MORE than that! Find out what was taken from you and your family.

"oh, am Black. Its a culture! Hiphop! The Quan! Affirmative Ac'!"
Am reduced to an experience, and Im fine with that!
wtf happened in here :omgwatshappening:
And yeah thx,
where Lonz go what's up?
Not an experience being a fuckin reduction while a nationality isn't :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead:
I never said "black" was exclusively used to describe African Americans. I am well aware of the difference between race and nationality. However, as for the context people have been using it in for this discussion, we are referring to African Americans. If any other groups were being discussed in here, I may have missed it. Still reading the thread so bear with me.

I mean, I see no harm in trying to shed some LIGHT into what whitey & Co have been trying to distort & supress for centuries.
:ttlo:
!!!
If some people are comfortable knowing their beginning starts with shackles and cotton baskets
More power to them
I commend those who wanna dig a bit deeper than that and see where their history really starts
ans' ur pm
Let me just say...
I am not here to judge anyone on their desire to learn their ancestry. There's no right or wrong in this, IMO. So to accuse those who are interested of being overzealous in some way, and those who aren't of ignorance, to me is pointless. Views are subject to change. Opinions are subject to change. And that goes for both sides of the fence. I may go to Ethiopia next year, come back and decide that I no longer give a flying fuck. It happens.
For those who have found inspiration through my discoveries, I am so happy for you. For those who don't see the point to it all, that is totally your outlook, which are you entitled to. You're not wrong for thinking that, in my book. It's just kind of concerning when people go out of their way to make others feel bad for wanting to discover their family history. Or acting as if its a matter of little importance.
Speak on what's important to you, personally. Don't attempt to dictate what the scenario must be for others. And I will do the same. That's my idea of respect, flawed or naive as it may seem.
I guess I'm just confused how knowing your ancestor's races will help you in life

It's not my ancestor's ethnic makeup or race.
If I tested my grandmother, hers would greatly differ from mine, I'm sure.
This is my DNA. My blood. My race. My ancestors contributed to it obviously, but this is my truth.
It has helped me in life. It has forced me to see Africa as something more than I saw it as.
And I am excited to be heading there to visit. Knowing exactly where to go. And being surrounded by people who look
just like me.
I feel connected and as if I have an identity beyond the confines of "being black". Does this or would this mean something for everyone? That is up to them to decide.
I can only share my takeaway from the experience. Yours, if any, could vary.

!!! it's so common too. Like they assume just because you look different, pretty or small features that you're not black. And for some strange reason even when I tell certain ppl they assume I'm not black and will say some lowkey racist shit towards blacks. Just last week some Asian lady at Nordstorms asked my mom and I where we were from and we told her she was like "Oh oh, not black!" and did that hand gesture when you don't want something and was like I could tell by your light skin" and laughed fjfjfj I was so shocked.

Summer 2016. I am so fucking excited.
It's such a blessing to be able to connect myself to places in Africa.
I never had a reason to go before. It was "just" Africa.
Yes, we are "black", but people forget it's just another word for African American.
We know all about the American, there is NO harm in getting in tune a bit with the Africa part.
And I am thankful to know my great grandmother's native roots right here in North Carolina with the Lumbee tribe. I'm going to plan something maybe with my grandmother, the blood is obviously much stronger in her and although she knows her family mess VERY well....you can tell that she's excited that I am actually able to confirm it.
Which goes to prove that it's one thing to HEAR, it's another thing to KNOW. She knows for a fact who her mother was, because bits of Chief are strong enough to be detected in her grandchild. She wants to get tested now. :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:

What is so wrong with African American though, that is an ethnic group in itself. I mean Dominicans don't go back to Cote D'Ivoire either, so I kind of feel it is stupid to claim some African tribe if culturally you hail from an African American background, which has a rich and beautiful history too.

I'm crying
Not everyone is gonna care
Yeah, but that doesn't mean that I'll judge them.
I mean last year I really didn't care enough to look into it.
Didn't mean I was an idiot, just means I wasn't curious. lol.
Nothing wrong with identifying yourself as "just black"
But I think the harm comes from insulting others who actually care about their roots....by telling them they're "just black".
Or looking down on those who aren't yet curious to find out where they come from.
Some people, in my opinion, are just irreversibly miserable in some way, and can find the negative in anything put before them. That's something they'd need to address on their own time, and it's a process which is way more tedious and revealing than any DNA test. Good luck
See I agree that we shouldn't judge them
But the term "Black" is so generic and it's a new term.
I think that sad part is that it's a name given to us.
"black" literally doesn't point us back to anything (for us here in the U.S) . Just that we have ancestors that were slaves and now we're here in the U.S. There's no richness or beauty in that tbh. Or at least IMO.
And I really didn't understand that until i started traveling and people identify themselves with their origins. Whether it's from multiple places or just one. For example people from Hawaii don't say "I'm Hawaiian" if they're not original Hawaiians. They say "I'm half Filipino , and part Japanese and German " for example.
That's their identity. That's beautiful because it depicts a picture.
"black" just gives me ????
And I use to tell people When they'd ask that I was black. Just black. And then they would say okay but I could tell it didn't really ANSWER the question for them. And then I started realizing that I could trace ancestors from Japan (and even my Irish and Indian relatives) . My " black" just stopped with America. And it kinda saddened me. We have such a deeper and richer history and we need to trace that. And tbh sis YOU also helped me realize that. So thank you.
We are SO much more than just "Black". And I won't tell people that anymore....once I do my DNA tea
YES SIS!!! This post just gave me everlasting LIFE!
Ugh, I love you! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
I love u too sis!!!!

It's just so fuckin ironic and rich to hear people who were just condeming Black people for their behaviors while undermining the struggles they face in America a FEW months ago, try to lecture or harp on other's about what they feel it means to be Black or the importance of the word/ethnicity.
This newfound black and I'm proud narrative is a major contrast compared to what they were spewing before.

its deeper than a nationality though
What about the culture, traditions, the language, the history that goes with it?

:omgwatshappening:
The ones in London are lazy
Whilst my sisters cook with actual fresh onions, garlic, tomatoes etc
Sis had his pantry stocked with Asda price powdered onions, garlic and tomatoes and
And he RUINED my second batch of Suya with rock salt
:loose2when: :loose2when:
Had my Suya spice all mixed and ready to go
Even went to the trouble and mashing and frying ground peanuts to make kulli kulli for that authentic Suya taste
He dips his finger in my spice mix and says 'Abi it needs more salt'
:usuresis: :hmph: :loose2when: :fuming: :bvy: :mmyucudnvr: :mmywheresddy: :wheresmylawyer: :shannonsmissing:
sssssssssss Nigerians and their damn salt. My dad was frying some egg a few weeks ago and the amount of salt he used on just the oil.. :omgwatshappening:
But kuli kuli and suya omfffffff, haven't had those in so long. :stressed:
I'm shouting at "Abi" nnnn
We freeze everything. In the fridge there is all kinds of different soups from
Okra, to egusi, to pepper soup. I prefer semolina over gari though. I had Ghanaian snacks once, their meat was cutely seasoned.
Hhhh I just know I'm gonna see a whole frozen goat in there one day

I don't see what's there to be confused about.
Minds change, views change, outlooks are subject to change at any given moment. It's kind of a part of human nature. Did you not know that?
And I find it funny how some people are quick to jump on others for not showing enough black pride, or aligning themselves with their community, but once they see it happen, they complain that it's too much too soon.
Essentially, you're pretty much asking "Why are you aligning with your community? Why are you connecting yourself with Africa?" Do these sound like appropriate questions to ask? Regardless of anyone's history? Especially when they've already specifically stated their reasons to you, on a couple occasions? lol I'll just leave it at that.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that I'll judge them.
I mean last year I really didn't care enough to look into it.
Didn't mean I was an idiot, just means I wasn't curious. lol.
Nothing wrong with identifying yourself as "just black"
But I think the harm comes from insulting others who actually care about their roots....by telling them they're "just black".
Or looking down on those who aren't yet curious to find out where they come from.

Sis here's the thing. And you know I use now, so it's no shade at all. But I think the confusion comes from the ferocity of it that is being exhibited now. And it did happen really quickly. Your thread on the plane with the white womuh and Young's dismissive attitude towards the black lives matter movement wasn't that long ago. So it is logical that the swift stark contrast would leave some a tad confused. It's honestly why I tugged your wig so hard when I first started posting (I apologize now btw). But it can be seen as hypocritical. Not saying that either of you are, but I can see why it would come off that way. But I do feel you are sincere with it, so work for the growth! :justabit:
