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 respect this.

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.

when I first looked back at these pics of ethiopians
its so cool to see there are others who have my "burnt ramen noodles" perched on their heads. :dead:
ancestry does matter. to me at least. it made a connection i didn't have before, and would've never guessed on my own.







Africa is so much more diverse than it's given credit for being.
especially GODthiopia >>>>>>>>

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.
