I try to go there every time I'm on-line. It offers a good break from all the tragic news we've been getting lately.

The tests might be more accurate than some of them would like to discover.

Btw, this pos tried to buy a town and rename it Trump (http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/region/3817566-white-supremacist-wants-take-over-rename-town-after-donald-trump) because apparently he loves Trump that much.  Strange how popular that guy is in fascist/nazi circles.

Betcha some African Americans are lot whiter than they thought too.  I met a person from the Embassy of Sierra Leone  in a store once, and he was as black as the Ace of Spades.  A real surprise.

Certainly.  In fact, descendants of slaves in the US are probably more likely to be multiracial than other racial groups.  There was a commercial on TV where they had some of the descendants of the founding fathers in a room together and I was surprised by how many of them were black.

Yes, but there are other places overrun regularly that could match that.  Central Asia and Eastern Europe and Northern India, apparently, from DNA.

Thomas Jefferson liked his slaves ... sometimes in that way.  Obama's mother was only part White ... don't know if she knew that when dating Obama's Kenyan father.

We are all Africans.  Some more recently, some more distantly (ancestors of Neanderthals).  Probably originally a baboon Fing a cheetah.

But he wasn't the only one.  Slavery was (sadly) practiced deep into history and not just by Europeans.  Every one took captives of defeated neighbors, but it wasn't until the Arabs started capturing Africans that it began to become racial.  There is a lot of "Africa" in the Middle East.  And the Moslem conquest of North Africa to Spain mixed things up too.

Once the Europeans caught onto the idea, they began to buy Central Africans from Coastal African trading partners and (eventually took them too when the Central African "supply" ran out.

Most Africans actually went to Ciuba and SA to sugar cane farms.  It was only in the US South that actually slave reproduction occurred.  Im not speaking of this positively, just historically...  But part of slavery meant that submissive rape was routine.

"Mistress" is hardly the right word for sex slave, though some men may had thought there was a relationship involved.  Sex does grant some slight advantages to slaves, but slaves they were.

That led to the insanities of "octoroons" and the idea that one drop of "black blood" meant blackness.  DNA proves completely otherwise...

I have no idea about Obama's mother, but if any one checks their DNA they better be prepared for surprises.

See what is strange, isn't that KKK can't let the Civil War go already ... the Yankees still use it for political purposes also.  This is just like Hamas and Likud ... they both need each other as enemies.

Nah, as far as I'm concerned, the Civil War was over and done with.  We won, the Union continued.  Beyond that,  I don't give a fart.  Its less than I worry about WWI and that isn't much.
