Deelishous Me! asked:


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?

dream catcher asked:


I gainded custody of my little cousin. She is half black and half white. Im half Sioux and half white.

I grew up knowing about both of my hertages. and I still love learning new facts. But my little cousin started her life being raised by raceist people. Why they would choose to raise her when they were so narrow minded, I dont know. She knows nothing of her Aferican roots. I want to change this, but dont know where to start.
