Hate to make another thread about DNA lol but this one is more for Malcolm
i am researching countries in Africa today and came across this video.
This guy had the same reservations as you did Malc ... however, he is 100 percent African and knows his roots very well ..unlike most African Americans.
He took the test with the specific goal of tricking the system to see if they'd mess it up. (He didn't use his real name, etc). And got his results.
Hey luv.

it's so interesting how someone can truly be 100% something.
it's amazing actually. i can see why real africans kinda look down on african americans.
i hope they don't shade me when i step owt in Ethiop' :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :stressed:

i didn't even see that part. :dead:
but people often associate the concentration of african heritage with skin tone and features.
don vs. this guy proves that wrong
but then again, Don had nothing but 19 percent white blood in him
u might as well be 100 percent black. White blood really changes nothing IMO. it's kinda weak in our systems :ohwow:
lolz
the only issue is that we don't know how far back in time this thing goes.

If it's detectable, it's pretty recent.
And I wouldn't focus too much on the generations. If its detectable in YOU, that means its part of your ethnic makeup.
If you want to really find more tea, do more manual homework with extensive genealogical research, with records, etc. If you have that kind of time to dedicate to it. I mean I love to know who I am, but I really don't have time to sit and trace every ancestor back to the boats and mess. :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
Ya'll think
I'm crazy with it, but some people go IN. I mean IN. :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
Its just cool to know what my grandmother told me was right. I kinda wanted to do the same thing that this guy did. Just confirming the tea. But I ended up learning much more than I expected.
I've been studying these African countries all morning. :plzstop:
Don't think too much about it. It gives you your ethnic makeup and that's it. If you want details, you must do more detailed work on your own behalf.
I had to do a little more digging to narrow down my great grandmother's native roots. as in the specific tribe she descended from. i had a lot of information though to help me. and her last name was a pretty common Lumbee name. But its gonna be harder for me to track down Africa for obvious reasons (Im not there lol) sssss but i will be next year, so yeah :justabit:

Some people gawk a bit at the price like
omg no! just for some DNA test? :uhh:
but probably spend more on other miscellaneous mess in any given period of 2 months or so.
cut those out for a little bit and your loss will be more than covered.
i like the fact that this is an investment you can take with u to your grave.
i plan on having at least one child so I have the comfort of knowing I'll be able to tell them true tea.
not stuff "i heard from my grandmother". :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: i'm sorry but anytime someone starts a story with those words i automatically give a :udontlookok:

I would hate to know the exact percentage of nonblack ancestry I have. Especially since it's mostly from rape. :fuming: Let me be superblack in my head rather than have a DNA test dispel my notions. I would hate to find out I'm only 70% or less African. Ugh, but I guess that's most AA people.
I'd rather trace the people back themselves and go back as far as possible. Except the white ancestors. :overit:

!!!!!
I've ignored the European mess. No shade
But have discovered the variety in my African ancestry
I'm heading to Ethiopia next year (and I NEVER thought I'd be going to Africa)
and I pinpointed the Native tribe my great grandmother came from.
It's worth it, if you're wondering. If u completely don't give a fuck then its a different story lol. :overit:
I want to do the dna test but I don't want to spend $100 on it :overit:
I was doing research on the other mess that came up in my test.....the Central Asian and Polynesia mess that came up, it was making no sense to me. I know I'm not chinese. :dead:
But Native ancestry comes up as a combination of Native American results, Central Asian and Polynesian on Ancestry. A lot of the first native settlers in America came from Central Asia. This makes so much sense now. My Native ancestry is more than 2 percent. More like 9 percent. Which makes so much more sense, I thought 2 percent was kinda low when my grandmother's mother was Native. And had an Indian owned last name. It's not like I was taking a shot in the dark, pulling mess from 20 generations back. But DNA is very random sometimes so I didn't question it too much.
Learning to interpret the results is so important. Since as you saw in this guys video, some things overlap and simply signal migration.
I can't wait to see my grandmother's results.

Jacob you're a mess.
Through generational mixing, and the fact that my maternal great grandmother was the only native out of four great grandparents, it makes sense my percentage would be there. But I recognize my Native heritage.
Won't be going to join a tribe or anything. But I'm happy to know grandma Chief is inside of me. :wub: :wub: I wish I got to meet her.
She has beautiful artwork throughout my grandmothers house. So many things she hand molded, crafted and painted, with her name scribed on the bottom of each piece. My grandmother treated it all like GOLD. If we ever even THOUGHT of touching it as kids we'd be in hot water. :plzstop:
That's where just some of my connection to her comes from, I know so much about her, but don't remember her. :stressed: Once I get my house I'm taking a couple pieces from my grandmother's house.

This guy is cute.
I just made another amazing discovery.
Was building my family tree tonight, and noticed:
My great grandmother Chief was documented as living by the Black River in North Carolina.
(http://i60.tinypic.com/5x8iyx.jpg)
When I saw that something told me it was also Indian related. (Stereotypical, I know LOL)
So I researched it in the official Lumbee records, regarding their origins, and sure enough it came up:
QuoteHatteras Indians
The strongest one was Lumbee descent from Hatteras Indians. Thomas says that what was known of them at the time of his research was that they lived at Cape Hatteras and were a very small tribe (only a dozen families in the early 1700's). They were still at Cape Hatteras in 1754, but an account from a missionary in 1761-63 placed then near Lake Mattamuskeet in Hyde County, N.C., living with the Mattamuskeet Indians. There are no references to them after that. By tracing family names Thomas believes one can follow Lumbee families from Lake Mattamuskeet to the Neuse River to the Black River to the Cape Fear River to Robeson County. He points to the Lumbee tradition, up until World War II, of going to the coast every summer and camping for two or three weeks to fish.

I'm surprised my great grandmother didn't talk more about her heritage with my grandmother. I mean the culture was clearly was recent, she was named Chief by her parents, she still lived on the areas known to harbor these Indians....but I guess with 13 kids, she didn't have time to sit around and give history lessons. :dead: :dead: :dead:
She told my grandmother what she was and kept it moving. :dead: :dead:
