Yea i heard that AA should have 15-25 percent cac blood so i was pleasantly shocked. The farthest i could trace my ancestry was to my great grandfather on my mothers fathers side. His name was Ferdinand Christopher McClendon and all my aunt could tell me is that he told her he came to America (Louisiana) as a kid on a 'banana boat'. I assume he's from one of the caribbean islands but i never found out which one

Most likely a English speaking Carribbean Island. Last names that have Mc in them ususally are Irish / English origin. So he probably came from Jamaica or a Lower Antilles Island.

that's not bad at all:ehh:

yea, Imo no excuse not to do it especially if you do things like drink or go out to eat, just skip a weekend of partying/going out to eat and cop the test. Granted the test aren't detailed, but when you can know at least in general where in Africa you are most genetically common to the people you can then begin to research things and learning more potentially about yourself.

They can trace DNA markers to geographic areas regardless of political borders
But the "tracing" process is not as accurate as folks make it out to be. It is too limited in data and lacks structuring to distinguish a specific lineage in a single person's vast family tree. It's all a scam

Because some of us aren't ashamed of our black heritage an embrace who we are, unlike a c00n like yourself
Taking a DNA test to find how much "cac" is in you is being self secure in your own race?
Seems the opposite to me, it seems sad that this is so heavily tied into some people's identities that they react like some of the people in this thread.
(Not the ones interested in finding out about their african lineage to research their heritage)
I feel like this about anyone hung up on dna test results though.

Yup.

Its less than 1% of your actual ancestry.

If its all a scam, then why is it when they test Africans the results show 100% African, test mulattoes results show around 40% African and around 60% European. Even when they run a test on a triracial person, for example a person with an Asian grandparent, an African grandparent and a white parent the results will show around 25% Asian, 25% African and 50% European. The results are too accurate for it all to be a scam.

Are you African-American? That's the highest I've ever seen for an AA. (If you are)

that cause those test are scams ran by cacs and self loathing oreo with agendas...as a whole AAs are pure black/African or have such negligible non black ancestry it aint worth mentioning..there is a reason the average AA can only to count back black forefathers/mothers in their family tree and it it's rarely cause of a mythical white forefather whom didn't 't claim their b*stard mutt child so many of sambos and honkeys pretending to be black online like to theorize .:wtb:

..:snoop:at the the deperate and guilable c00ns paying peckerwoods to make up fictitious non black lineages to feel better about themselves
