DNA (ancestry)

I would like to do africanancestry.com its black owned and operated and they dont just tell you what region you're from like the others they pinpoint all the way down to the tribe. Also, though it kinda goes without saying since it's black owned, they dont keep your dna and they dont give it to law enforcement and thats a big reason why in 2022 I'm going to start a saving so i can can get it done.

    Wow this sounds really interesting. I would love to know what tribes I trace back to and knowing my DNA wouldn’t be going to J Edgar Hoover makes it much more feasible for me. I would love to have Mali ancestry but when I see anyone from there I don’t look anything like them. I look more Nigerian than anything.

    Yup I have a video about it. I am a lot whiter than I thought I was.

    Thanks for sharing that! I don't take them tests as fact though ,they might be close but if you see some of the interviews with the people who do these test, they tell you it's not 100% and the tech gets better over time so the tests may change. I've seen a lot of FBA get that .1% native American on their tests, i honestly think it's higher...

    White people have been fake claiming they are native for a long time. A lot of the ancestors that BP claim are native are most likely white or heavily mixed with White.

    what's up with the thumbs down Goldilocks ?
    Most FBA's family coming out of slavery has European blood in their family tree, due to the nature of the slave owners, hell I know I have some in my tree too, I call it tainted because it was forced into our tree.

    I feel like a lot of these DNA services are fake. I wouldn't mind trying one of them, because I think it'd be great to have an idea of what my family tree is, but do we know if these services are giving us real results?

    I would love to go through my families history, and maybe learn what their lives where like. Maybe even find family who aren't living in the US.

    Why would you assume the results are fake? It just compares you to their sample of people. As the sample gets larger the results get more specific.

    Scam written all over it. What's the point of showing you're "nigerian" when Nigeria is just a mixture of different ethnic groups? And that goes for every african country.
    Because knowing you're Nigerian is a lot more specific than knowing you're African.

    That’s not fair because you comparing migrating people who developed different cultures over time. Can you tell a Dutch from an Angolan hell yeah you can.

    I really feel like it's all bogus. Because the results are comparing people across the world in the current time within the last 20-40 years. FBA in the last 40 years alone have been a great admixture of differing descents. Let alone the progenitors of the last 200+ years. So FBA is almost entirely a concept and not heredity.

    I have a cousin who is an entire Caucasian white lady!! I don't even want to shade her groove because she seems to be getting by very good as the blue-eye, brunette girl next door who could get away with being a str8 Karen! On the low, her grandfather is so called FBA.

    But if you’re FBA it’ll show where you’re from in Africa.

    Yes sir. You figure out you from the Abercrombie Tribe in Fitchland in 2004 and they use it to find out you the Food Stamp Bandit in 2022. Not a good trade off.
    I was part of a MEUSOC (Marine Expeditionary Unit Special Operations Capable) and they took our DNA and sealed it in a metal envelope within our service record book. If I did become a serial killer, I would be caught within the same week.

    That wasn't bragging. There was a real chance that you wouldn't make it back and the only way to identify you would be that little bag of DNA. During the war on drugs we walked through jungle near the Darien Gap to get to a clearing of marijuana or coca. Booby traps and snipers would pick you off if you were slow. We used det-chord to destroy marijuana fields. I could go on forever...
