  1. "Racist?" If you're not of actual indigenous heritage, then you're not a member of the tribe.

  3. Why would you want to be a member of a group of people WHO ENSLAVED YOUR ANCESTORS? Is it just for the welfare benefits. Wow, you guys really are desparate.

  4. The purpose for blacks in claiming to be native American is nothing more than for welfare benefits. You guys have been envious of the lifelong and multigenerational welfare payments made to native Americans, and you want to get on that same gravy train. The only reason why some of you THINK you have native ancestry is because your ancestors were enslaved by some native American tribes. The other notion, that blacks were indigenous, is easily refuted by the overwhelming evidence that all your black ancestors were brought by the Atlantic slave trade from Africa. If any blacks actually do have native DNA (which is actually far rarer than white Americans having native DNA), your'e still not "native" anymore than white Americans would be considered native.

  5.  @lorenalittlejohn7379  Delusional fantasies, by someone so desperate to believe that you're some how indigenous. You're not. If you've done your genealogy, it'll show your ancestors were ENSLAVED by native tribes, not actually of native descent. This fact has been proven over and over. DNA has actually proven to be quite accurate, especially when it comes to African DNA. An AA can submit a dna sample, and without even informing the lab, get results back showing exactly where in West Africa your ancestors were enslaved before being brought to America. In fact, every AA whose submitted a DNA test, have NEVER come back as indigenous, but have always shown the majority of your dna is exactly from the regions in West Africa where the record shows your ancestors were enslaved. The fact you actually use the name of Tuskegee College of proof that blacks are native is absurd. I come from Utah, which is a native American tribe. Does that mean I'm native? No and I'm not. Not even a little.

  6.  @JDoe-gf5oz  You're correct.

  7. Have you taken a dna test? If you have, it'll show your ancestors came from western Africa, exactly the same regions where the historical records say your African ancestors were enslaved before being brought to America.

  8. what about the black africans who enslaved your ancestors first? Should their descendants (and the nations where they resided) also be brought before a tribunal for their crimes?

  9.  @indigoix  It IS my business. As an American citizen, what you are demanding would affect me as well. However, I get why you don't want me commenting. Since it's so easy to counter your claims with the truth and obvious evidence, the last thing you want is someone to point out the obvious.

  10.  @indigoix  But it still will affect me. Aren't you all wanting "free" stuff and money from the government (as members of a tribe) and to free-load off taxpayers? We all know that's at least half of your motivation (the other half is to somehow appropriate a different heritage other than your african one). As a citizen, I would be paying for that in taxation. So it it my business and I do have a say. So, are you going to ignore my original question about the africans who enslaved your ancestors first?

  11. why don't you claim the land of your actual ancestors in Africa?
