some Black Americans actually do have diverse ethnic backgrounds
yes I assumed my grandfather's grandmother was Native American but it was a reasonable assumption
she was in fact Indigenous but just a different TYPE of indigenous (Russia/Siberia), which is a very uncommon ancestry for Black Americans. my only crime was not figuring this out until DNA technology improved and was able to provide much more context for me to connect the dots.
i got my answers and guess wat, i'm back to minding my Black ass business. not running around Peachtree Street here in Atlanta speaking Russian and doing Indigenous chants.

and damn sure ain't sitting around always finding a way to talk about how horrible Black people are.
as someone who actually has a "Cherokee great great grandma" i say let black people say wat they want, as long as they're not hurting or disparaging anyone.
I don't get why the gorls care so bad about our lineage. It is a unique one. Everybody doing their work and hit the federal and states sites to lay out their roots. I see the gorls on social media not us always getting upset ab negroes and who we are.
The biggest tears come from fascination that our families all come in a range of shades and hair textures so nah we not venturing into tribalism/redefining ethnicity.
Anytway, per the gorls on twitter Sean Carter is Creole via his father and Allen Parish. Cute he and his wife are both Creoles. His mothers roots are VA.
the crazy part is White Americans are just as "obsessed" with being "part Cherokee"
if not more
pointing to pictures of their CLEARLY White great grandmammies talking about "look at ha cheekbones! look at ha hair!! we exotical 
"
the whole "i got indian up in me" thing is an AMERICAN thing, not just a Black thing.
it irks my spirit to see people unreasonably single out Black Americans like we're just this crazy, uniquely delusional group of people or something.
Re'Von sorry things went off the rails a bit but I cant help but to speak up. it's not personal and i still luv u
Yeah like go turn that fake concern about "I got Indian in my family" to white ppl. And most of these white ppl claiming it aren't even completely from settlers blood. They are a combo of settlers + Ellis Islanders. $5 Indians
People lose sleep over an ADOS uttering the word "Indian." Black Seminoles and Black people having to sue tribes with paperwork for their ancestors is a thing.
Sean was joking and u can tell.
But if ppl really tripping over that comment they would die over Chitown's finest Chaka being in full headdress repping her Blackfoot heritage back in the day.
I am pretty sure the Norwood's "got Indian" MS was blanketed in tribes. Freedman towns, plantations, and reservations at times were near each other. Many tribes were slave owners. It is what it is ADOS is a unique lineage. Somebody (ADOS) is going to find they are blood to the unfortunate situation of a confederate general, to being related to an illustrious member and the great Buffalo Soldiers
