It’s pretty common knowledge that most African Americans are not 100% of African decent due to our ancestors experiencing rape from slave owners, mixing with native Americans during colonial times & modern interracial relationships.
I am curious to see the genetic diversity my brothers on here have. Feel free to post your results as well.
My background: raised by a single father Black-American father from Tampa, FL & Venezuelan mother who was considered morena (nick name for brown skinned Latinas with black hair).
I never really got to know my mother but it’s interesting how much African ancestry latins have on average, I was surprised to learn she was 25% black. My dad didn’t even know she was black til I showed him these results haha. The media doesn’t show black Latin Americans so before traveling to South America I thought most people here were white but it’s actually extremely diverse.
63% African, 22% European, & 15% Native American is my ancestral mix.
What’s your ancestry?
