Deelishous Me! asked:
1. African-Americans are mixture of the numerous African peoples. How can we be sure?
1. African-Americans are mixture of the numerous African peoples. How can we be sure?
2. Can this truly be traced through male DNA
Actor Isaiah Washington said his ancestors are Sierra Leone and Angola assuming he got testing on his mother and father side.
Other black celebrities mentioned Ghana, Nigeria, and various other places.
Can it really be traced accurately?

Abused Tampon asked:
Ok, here’s the deal. My younger sister got suspended from school today because the school started an African American Heritage study all this week. In her Social Studies class they were gonna go through anything that had to do with African Americans. My sister refused to do any work related to it or sit there and listen. I know my family is not racist, I’m not sure where she picks stuff like that up, but the she never made a rude comment, she just said and I quote “I don’t want to learn about African American culture, why should it be mandatory for me to learn it”. After that she refused to listen or do the work, and she got sent to the Principals office where she then got suspended. What is going on? Can they suspend her for that? Is it mandatory for everyone to learn and appreciate(forced or not) African American Culture/Heritage? I think they did my sister wrong.
