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.

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.

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)

@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.

@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)

@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.

@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! 🙄

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)
