sukkot: Lol, I think the OP just selected the ones from mostly Cameroun. And the ones from Sierra Leone might be Nigerians. Blair Underwood has both Nigeria and Cameroun in his ancestry, and you need to understand that before Nigeria, folks from that side of Cameroun were intertwined with their neighbours from that axis of Nigeria. Colonialism divided them Anyway, majority of those tested, always get Nigeria as the ancestry. Nas, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Forrest Whitaker, Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Gary Younge, Evander Holyfield, Angela Bassett, Judge Hatchett, Jackson family etc. traced theirs to Nigeria. 1 Like 1 Share |

I'm surprised Cameroon ranked high on that list, Ivory Coast, Ghana & Liberia had one of the biggest slave ports. The fact is; most 5th generation & upwards african americans are mixed to some extent, somewhere along their linage, there may be some European or Asian blood. America is the most diverse country on the planet, it is a collection of people from various parts of the globe. Aside native Americans, all other american are immigrant. its difficult to find an american with a 100% pure bloodline, almost every white American can trace their ancestors back to europe.. heck!! even Obama who is half-black has traced some of his ancestors back to Ireland, same goes for Muhammad Ali & the kennedy family While every african american can trace their ancestors to African where at least 50% of their ancestors originate from. well all in all, its being said and proven to some extent that modern humans originated from africa, and then some started emigrating to other corners of the globe some hundred thousand years ago.. 2 Likes |

sukkot: A lot of slaves are from the Nigeria area to ivory coast, especially Benin republic and Ghana. These two countries had kingdom that wage war on its surroundings. Dahomey and Ashanti empire where notorious for the slave trade and most of the ports were in these area. That's why many of the slaves in the Americas are a combination of ivory coast, Ghana, benin, Togo, Nigeria and Cameroon. 1 Like 1 Share |

Most African American want to identify with their ancestral root, but they scare of the unknown. Cause they don't have much information about the continent. Discovery Channel shows them naked people walking around. Lion running around looking for their next meal ., lol. What I do I try to educate them when in contact with any that love to learn |
