django1: This might sound like a generalization but its the truth, Ibos will do "anything" to get one back at you. lolz. Sweetheart I am Jamaican. We have a saying, "duppy know who fi frighten" in other words, "ghosts/punks know who to terrorize and who to leave alone". speaking of punks, my beef is with one punk, not his tribe. |

Jayvarley: You know what I am saying? Now this fo0l wrote an entire chapter book for me (which I swear on my life I did not and WILL not read ) because he can't take the fact that we are descendants of Africans from over 27 countries, not just one or from one tribe only. It goes to show someone LACKS common sense. I just feel sorry for any black AA or Caribbean who encounter the likes of THAT before doing their own research. They will be deprived of their other rich histories and lied to. I have no issues with IGBO people at all. But I will not entertain wild claims that all or most African Americans are purely of IGBO descent. Any Igbo who'll read this thread an assume that you do, thinks like he does. But until that happens it's safe to say, that most who will peep this thread will understand where we are coming from. I was watching a vid on youtube and an AA girl traced her lineage paternally to UGANADA. Can you imagine? Oh yeah! There have been black ppl from the diaspora who took DNA tests and found that some of their ancestry is from as far as east africa. No doubt. Initially slaves from Uganda all the way down to Mozambique, were taken to the middle east but then when the Portuguese got into the slave trade, after fighting with the horner africans and the arabs, they confiscated some of the slaves from the region and brought them to the americas (mostly south though). Little is known about that. Which I think is sad. Yet some folks want to act like those HUMANS did not count, but that their tribe is what matters. As for your last point that was SPOT ON. If that was the case it does mean that they were either defeated miserably or had no PROBLEM selling their own. That's sad as hell. Who would want to claim that legacy? Anyway, I did not intend to join this tired thread, just say Fula cosigning to a bigot and decided to let him know what was up but you and kwame keep doing what you guys are doing. Don't allow ppl to lie about our history like that. 1 Like |

READ. pity 149ers and prostitutes think otherwise, plus they still wanna SCAM ya'll. [b]Pinpointing DNA Ancestry in Africa Most African Americans hail from just 46 ethnic groups, research shows. By: Linda Heywood, Ph.D., and John Thornton, Ph.D. | Posted: October 1, 2011 at 12:14 AM Source: David Eltis and David Richardson, Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade Before the advent of DNA testing, scholars relied on shipping records that listed the African ports from which slaves were exported to determine where in Africa the African-descended population of the United States originated. But these lists were quite limited because they noted only the port of departure and not the actual community from which the enslaved were taken. Advancements in DNA analyses, along with African shipping records, have revealed that African Americans do not have roots in the entire continent. A relatively small number of African groups supplied the lion's share of the ancestral African population. In fact, three large regions of Atlantic Africa were the major contributors to the slave trade: Upper Guinea, including the modern countries of Senegal, Mali, Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia; Lower Guinea, including the southern portions of Eastern Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria; and West Central Africa, which encompassed mostly the western portions of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola. In all, these regions made up only about 15 percent of Africa's total area, all on the Atlantic side of the continent. People were once skeptical of claims made by early DNA ancestry-tracing services that they could identify a subject's "tribe" or "ethnicity" in Africa; the available data didn't seem to sustain such claims. But new ways of calculating ancestry from the genome and larger African samples can make determining ethnic identifications more accurate.

@Jav Frances21 is stuck on Chamber's FALSE CLAIMS AS IF CHAMBERS IS THE ALFA AND OMEGA OF THE "ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE". Historians do cirtitse each other some are BIASE TOWARDS CERTAIN PEOPLE that they might have met in their lives. IF WE WERE STU-PID WE WERE GONNA BELIEVE THE DNA TESTS SHOWING AA'S ARE 47% YORUBA. PITY WE'RE SMART AND READ IN DEPTH ABOUT THE SLAVETRADE AND CHALLENGED THAT DODGY DNA TEST. Proving that Yoruba weren't prominent in US. WE AND OTHER HISTORIANS DID THE SAME WITH CHAMBERS, HE CAN LIE TO HIMSELF AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE HIS CRAP. Good news is that CHAMBERS IS AN OLD ASSHOLE WHO NEAR THE GRAVEYARD. HE MUST TAKE HIS LIES THERE. |

So a guy from let's say the bamoun tribe could of easily found himself being taken to a port in the Bight of Biafra region, listed as being from one of those tribes etc etc. (notice i said TRIBES) |

kwame tut: Yes Kwame Even to this day even geneticists are still sceptical about DNA testing. Because they are aware of the fact that these DNA testing can only provide two lines in a persons make up. MT DNA and Y DNA. This is like saying that a father can produce a son without the DNA of the woman. Therefore a person who has a (Paternal) Y DNA test done will never know anything about the women in his fathers lineage or where they are from. Also if a person has a Maternal MT DNA test done they will never know anything about the men in their mothers line. This kind of DNA testing misses out the DNA of hundreds of ancestors in a persons lineage. 1 Like |

. As if I care about what you think. You can think all you want. That isn't my problem. But the truth and facts still stand. They aren't begging to be believed by you. The 28 and 18 AAs and much more that visited Igboland clearly weren't delusional. DNA testing remains the only solid proof. Haters can hate all they want. I'm yet to see another tribe having such number or return visitations. |

Jayvarley, I've warned you to stop talking to me or quoting my posts. I don't care about you or your existence. You lost all my respect and trust for you a long time ago. I've warned you to mind your business. I don't ever remember talking to you or quoting your posts. You can think all you want, I don't care. I'm entitled to my own opinions, which stems from massive research being done. Please stay away from me. |

@Frances21 U even went as far lying abt Afrikaners/whites in South Africa THE REAL TRUETH. I even made an example of Afrikaners/whites in South Africa, its general belief that theyr DUTCH. But in reality theyr are a mixture of EUROPEANS. Recent DNA tests by Stellenbosch university show theyr Afrikaner nation´s ancestry was Dutch 34.8%, German 33.7%, French 13.2%, Non White/Bantu and Khoisan 6.9%, British 5.2%, Other European nations 2.7%, Unknown 3.5%. Note these people like AAs have been in Africa for 350 years. |

To be quite honest I could care less where majority of the slaves of the new world came from. All it reveals is which region turned around the most to sell out their own like rabbits. Disgusting history. The Igbo posters here should ashamed of arguing this out. If proof shows that central Africans overly indulged themselves in such let them wear the crown. |
