  1. ​ @arieltsekiri-rose7697  Before Columbus re-discovered America there was zero African and European ancestry among the indigenous Tainos of the Caribbean.

  2. Native Americans mixed with Africans and Europeans occured after Columbus re-discovered America. Before that there was 0 African and European ancestry among all Native Americans.

  3. ​ @alicerichardson2959  You should also stress that it should be the original 1611 version of the KJV bible and NOT the recent " New King James Version " either!

  4.  @reggiemoaning3271  Ok, so the first European explorers in the " America's " met ' American Indians ' with extremely curly hair and with afros as well. C'mon !! 🙄

  5. ​ @benjamintaylor4402  I've seen two different studies from the United States that interviewed Dominicans and Puerto Ricans in DR and Puerto Rico, as well as in the states. The main purpose of the study was who considered themselves more black or of African origin. Incredibly ! Puerto Ricans identified more as black then Dominicans.

  6.  @charlieterry6483  I'm a human being who doesn't need to expropriate nobody's culture, ancestry or race. Someone who's completely ok with who he truly is.

  7.  @reggiemoaning3271  No matter what.. you and yours have the right to fantasize that you're ancestors were Native American warriors. If people of European origin decided to fantasize that their ancestors were warriors similar to The Black Panther movie, they would have the right too. (Whatever makes you happy) ✌️

  8.  @reggiemoaning3271  Honestly, there's probably some prejudice within Native American tribes as well. Example : Genetically - If a person who is 70% European and 30% Native American is accepted within the tribes: A person who is 70% African and 30% Native American should be accepted within the tribes as well. Sadly - and especially throughout more modern history - people have a tendency to prefer others more, based on " pretty colors " instead of the better qualities among people of all colors.

  9.  @reggiemoaning3271  I already expressed to you that I'm sure you have truth's. The problem is that your ' truth's ' are contaminated with cherry picked untruths. DNA testing is not 100% percent accurate, yet. But such a test can still give you a much clearer picture of who you truly are genetically. Sir, let's be proud of who we truly are. (If you prefer to fantasize with what you truly aren't - I guess - that you have that right too)

  10.  @halfdome4158  What would be the minimal Seminole DNA requirement? (My guess is that it would have to be at least 25%) And even if they have black African looking features they should still be accepted if they have 25% or more Seminole DNA.

  11.  @charlieterry6483  It's just the name that is commonly used to describe most of the western hemisphere. Perhaps you can give me an example of what the western hemisphere was called before " America " ?

  12.  @damonmelendez856  Do you not know that Elon Musk is black as well ?! 🤭

  13.  @GaryTisdaleFungkSta1  Question: Did those, " Black Caribs " that you're referring to have extremely curly hair or afros? Or did they have straight black hair?

  14.  @TheWordSaysWhat  Obviously I was just joking about him being black . 🙄

  15.  @TruMommy  Notice my profile photo: Yet I'm approximately 5% Central West African based on DNA . (I'm sorry but it's difficult to believe that you have 0% African ancestry)

  16.  @GaryTisdaleFungkSta1  " Black Irish " was in reference to Irish people with dark hair, brown eyes and darker complexion. Instead of white, blonde hair and blue or green eyes they were more similar to the late actor Sean Connery. (Amongst my siblings they called me ' black boy ' because I had the darkest complexion) My complexion is similar to Mr Connery's .

  17.  @charlieterry6483  Is the name Charlie Terry, " Indigenous " to yourself ?

  18.  @Noidonthaveadollar  There are still what are basically ancient Taino indigenous peoples in Venezuela & Central America. So far they haven't found any ancient African DNA amongst them. Also no evidence of extremely curly (or afro-like) hair among them either. Even in today's much more modern forms of communication we can find many things that are untrue as well; you presented an excellent example with that erroneous depiction of Columbus of many centuries ago.

  19.  @TruMommy  If that's truly the case that's extremely interesting . Must do profound research on people of Fiji and Melanesia. Thanks sis .

  20. It should be emphasized that before Columbus re-discovered America there was zero African and European ancestry among all Native Americans.

  21.  @davidrains3918  That's true, nobody is better nor less than anyone else. It all depends upon how we're raised and the social influences that we encounter - especially - in the earlier part of our lives.

  22. Without genealogy or DNA testing a good way to tell the percentage of African or Native American ancestry is by the natural texture of your hair. Before Columbus re-discovered America all Native Americans had completely straight hair. (I'm not expressing this in a mal intended way, I'm 5% of West Central African ancestry)

  23.  @mykdebradley3586  There are still some Native American (Indigenous) tribes in the Amazon jungle of Brazil; But I must say that overall, the Brazilian government and the wealthy haven't been that kind to them, unfortunately.
    3
  24.  @ehrren7228  Yes, you are definitely a - vast majority - black man of Central or Southern African ancestry. Beyond science itself, it's surely best to be proud of who we truly are. (If someone prefers to go around masquerading as something they're not.. they can do that too) 🙄

  25. It's true that pseudo Eurocentrism has contaminated the history - as it is taught - in America and the world; but more recently pseudo Afrocentrism is trying to do the same thing. I repeat: Before Columbus re-discovered the America's there was ZERO European or African ancestry, and DNA, in the entire Western Hemisphere.

  26.  @charlieterry6483  Only as close to the truth as possible. (Concerning this particular topic that is) It's a learning process for me as well.

  27. ​ @BRUHVADO  I'll answer your question if you answer mine: Have you taken a DNA test and if you haven't, why not? DNA technology might not be 100% perfect yet, but it's still much more reliable than the old ancestry records formulated by those abusive Spaniards and Portuguese centuries ago.
    2
  28.  @TruMommy  Question: Since your ok with dropping the, " black " label are you also ok accepting that you're - at least majority - of Central or Southern African ancestry and DNA ?
    2
  29.  @Chefbridgettecolemanhannah  My main point is that percentage-wise Puerto Ricans are way less black than Dominicans yet we haven't any problem telling everyone that we do have African ancestry. Even most Puerto Ricans - like in my family - that can easily pass as European have at least some African ancestry. I have 5% African ancestry - from Central West Africa - and I'm proud of it. (my wife has more African ancestry than myself 😊)

  30.  @babyboy562  Facts: When the Europeans re-discovered America in 1492 there wasn't any European or African ancestry in the entire Western Hemisphere. Those European " discoverers " did not encounter ' Native Americans ' with blonde hair & blue eyes NOR did they encounter ' Native Americans ' with extremely curly hair or afros.
    2
  31.  @feliciaabrams9604  Let us not forget the others as well: Like Puerto Ricans who were forcibly recruited during WW1 & 2 Korea & Vietnam. They were not only recruited in the mainland USA but in their homeland of Puerto Rico as well. They were hand picked to walk point etc..
    2
  32.  @sebastianaguiar9743  The thing is that when you say " black " Native Americans you have to be referring to the dark skinned straight haired peoples that - before Columbus - had nothing to do with Black Africans. Directly or indirectly we shouldn't try to appropriate anything from the original inhabitants of the America's.
    2
  33.  @JOSECARABALLO-e1n  Seems like it's your reading comprehension skills that are, " sh** " .. Such studies as I mentioned are based on percentages. - There aren't any outward signs of African ancestry in my family yet DNA analysis' has shown single digit percentages - Other areas of the island have much higher percentages. (I never said or meant that Puerto Ricans are " Black " in general)
    2
  34. (@ellamelitta09 • Then a DNA exam should give you at least 25% Native American. (Mine showed just 15% Native American & 5% Central West African)
    2
  35. ​ @Mope333  (@grzlbr •) is even more far gone. He's the type that believes that people of black African ancestry never even mixed with Native Americans. He's a black man who denies that he's African American and believes that he's pure indigenous to the America's.

  36. But we should differentiate between the dark skinned people that don't have ancient or recent African origins. Why? Because darker skinned people throughout the world have their own cultures, ancestries and history as well. There seems to be a situation taking form, that certain unscrupulous people of black African origin want to impose their pseudo Afrocentrism teachings upon all the brown people of the world, and that isn't going to happen! (The vast majority of humanity isn't black or white and we have a voice too)

  37. It's very true that we shouldn't accept the history teachings contaminated with pseudo Eurocentrism; but BEWARE of the newer history teachings contaminated with pseudo Afrocentrism as well. (Pseudo Afrocentrism also has an agenda that does more harm than good to the vast majority of the people that they supposedly represent)

  38. ​ @GaryTisdaleFungkSta1  In reference to this particular topic, there are clear genealogical untruths because true pre-Columbus Native Americans were categorized together with Africans and mixed mulattos. DNA testing is much more reliable and it will continue getting much more reliable.
    1
  39.  @Noidonthaveadollar  So now pseudo- Afrocentric's are believing that Italians like Cristopher Columbus were Moors as well?!

  40.  @BRUHVADO  I'll answer your question if you answer mine: If you've taken a DNA test, what were the results. DNA technology might not be 100% perfect yet; but it's much reliable then those ancestry records formulated by those evil Spaniards & Portuguese of the past.

  41.  @BRUHVADO  I'll answer your question if you answer mine: Have you taken a DNA test and if so, what were the results? DNA technology might not be 100% perfect yet, but it's much more reliable than the ancestry records formulated by those evil Spaniards & Portuguese of the past.

  42.  @BRUHVADO  Hopefully you can soon take that DNA test and be willing to accept the results. I'm Puerto Rican from the NYC area. (My DNA test shows approximately 15% Taino 5% Central West African and the rest European especially from Spain and Canary Islands. Also some DNA from the original Canary Islanders, the Guanches who were ancient Berbers.

  43.  @BRUHVADO  First of all I have too much respect for Native Americans, so I would never say that I belong to any American Indigenous tribe; 15% is not sufficient. My mom's dad always told me an interesting story though, of how his great, great etc? grandfather, a Taino man, rebelled against the abusive Spaniards and fled way up into the mountains. Those Spaniards searched for him with the use of dogs. I've always liked to believe that they never caught him but I can't be sure. (My dear maternal grandfather was strikingly Indigenous looking)

  44. ​ @miltonj7986  You were correct to include " white washing " but you also should've alerted concerning the dangers of " black washing " as well. CERTAINLY.. Lack of knowledge (or ignorance) has to be dealt with in order to reach what's truly real. (Let us say NO to contaminated knowledge)

  45.  @GaryTisdaleFungkSta1  Please explain your reasoning.
    1
  46.  @Noidonthaveadollar  It's quite evident that in your ' tribe ' there's much Central & Sub-Saharan mixture & that explains your extremely curly hair. (And there's nothing wrong with that either)
    1
  47.  @Noidonthaveadollar  Then you must not have any features that are typical of ' Black Africans ' including Black people like, hair? (So, have you taken a DNA test & if not then why not)
    1
  48.  @Noidonthaveadollar  It seems like you're relying only on ancestry records. Native Americans were quite often ' lumped ' together with African Americans, when it came to formulating those records. Remember the people that were in charge of those records were European Americans who didn't care to distinguish between Native Americans & African Americans. DNA technology might not yet be 100% accurate but it still would give you a much clearer picture of who your ancestors truly were. (Have you taken a DNA test & if not then why)
    1
  49. ​ @grzlbr  Absolutely, Before the Europeans re-discovered America there was zero African and European ancestry in the entire Western Hemisphere. (This case is similar to when we invite someone to our house and now they want to throw you out and take over!) But it ain't gonna happen.

  50. My maternal grandfather was very Caribbean indigenous looking and he would tell me a story of one his great grandfathers. That forefather was an indigenous Taino man who rebelled against the evil Spaniards. He escaped into the mountains and the Spaniards used dogs to try to track him down. My DNA test shows approximately 15% indigenous Taino but of course, that still doesn't mean that I'm gonna go around saying that I'm a Native American! Reality Is Best.

  51. Yes. Example: A person with 70% European ancestry and 30% percent Native American ancestry is as much Native American as a person with 70% African ancestry and 30% Native American ancestry. But so many of the ' Black Indians ' don't want to accept my first example.

  52. Pseudo Eurocentrism has always mixed truths with lies, therefore contaminating history as it is taught. Sadly, and more recently, pseudo Afrocentrism has been doing the same thing. It's beautiful when African Americans are taught important truths that have been hidden from them: but it's very sad when those truths are mixed with untruths to try to appropriate over what was never theirs to begin with.
    1
  53. The ancestry records of white traders and white census workers can't be completely trusted either. On too many occasions they would lump Native Americans and blacks together even if they weren't mixed by marriages etc. Of course there were many that were intermarried as well. DNA technology is probably not 100% perfect.. yet: but it's still way more accurate than those old census records. (Recently, proof of this is mounting more and more)

  54.  @grzlbr  " Total BS, but nice try? " You must have me confused. I'm not an African American trying to be Native American. DNA -Wise I'm 15% Native American but that doesn't mean that I consider myself Native American; and not even black. I'm mostly European.
    1
  55.  @grzlbr  Then you must be one of those extremely curly haired people who deny their African ancestry and call themselves pure Native Americans. (Incredible nice try)
    1
  56.  @grzlbr  Have you ever flat ironed your hair?! Because you must be one of those " I'm not African American " Native American wannabes. I'll coin this term in ' honor ' of you.. you must belong to the " squatter " tribe.
    1
  57.  @grzlbr  Ok then.. you're probably one of those Native American wannabes who has to constantly flat iron his hair to - at least - resemble the part. You will continue reaching into nothingness! 🙄
    1
  58. I believe that it's proper to teach that many Native Americans mixed with Europeans, Africans, & others: The problem is when the " mixed Indians " start believing & teaching that there were African black " Indians " with extremely curly & afros before the re-discovery of the ' America's ' .. (of course there weren't blonde & blue eyed original Native Americans either)
