:mjlol: @ the idea the average AA looks like Colin Powell, Vanessa Williams or Obama. they make up 1% of AAs, and i've never seen one who looked like Williams or Powell offline.

Average African American? Where did you derive that conclusion from in this thread? I wrote that they were Black. Your reading comprehension skills went to average African Americans and looks. That is obviously superficial reasoning from a superficial person.

So should I assume that you are not an African American? Because it is common knowledge in this country that some Black people passed for White. We don't use stupid terms like mixed, because almost every African American is mixed. Literally. So in this Country you were just Black or White.

Once again your reading comprehension needs work. Here is what I wrote:

"... Because it is common knowledge in this country that some Black people passed for White. We don't use stupid terms like mixed, because almost every African American is mixed. Literally. So in this Country you were just Black or White."

We know that just about every African American is mixed, because of DNA findings.
It’s Rare to Find a Black American With 100 Percent African Ancestry

Your brain cells read this:
"... @ the idea the average AA looks like Colin Powell, Vanessa Williams or Obama. they make up 1% of AAs, and i've never seen one who looked like Williams or Powell offline."

That goes to your reading comprehension.


Btw, there are lots of African Americans that look like those people in the USA. We used to call them high yellow. I have no idea where you live, but if you live in the USA then you would have been hard pressed not to have seen high yellow Black people.

:camby: if by mixed u meant people who were 98% black and 2% white you would've listed people like Wesley Snipes and Whoopi Goldberg with your "we consider them black" examples.

Dumbass; your reading comprehension is terrible. You should probably work on that shyt and spend less time posting memes.

And the average African American is not 2% mixed. The average African American is 24% European.

"Katarzyna Bryc, a population geneticist at 23andMe who is also the lead author of the study, said the average African-American genome was more than 70 percent African and 24 percent European."

Genetic Study Reveals Average African-American Genome is Nearly A Quarter European - Atlanta Blackstar

That is the Average African American. Some are higher and some are lower, but the average is 1/4 mixture.

So the average African American is truly mixed, however by and large we all consider ourselves Black; just like our slave ancestors were.

hm...kind of interesting. Some of those are ridiculous though, there is absolutely no way to verify if its true or not and so it amounts to nothing more than rumors.

1. :dead: now who has the poor reading comprehension :umad: i did not say that was the average AA. my 2% white was in reference to that dumbass link saying not all AAs were 100% black

2. those dna tests provide insight less than 1% of your ancestors

3. if u must believe those dna tests, then you're still wrong by assuming all AAs are a quarter non-black. The breakdown according to a Penn State university (who weren't trying to sell any product or service like the company u listed are) study was
42% have less than 1/8 white
37% have around 1/8 white
20% have at least 1/4 white
1% have at least 1/2 white

Sigh. Posting more memes doesn't make your shyt any more logical. You came in with the dumb shyt and you have not stopped flinging it yet. For your reading pleasure I will post this little information from the article:

"... The discovery came after researchers from 23andMe, a massive database that collects genetic information, sifted through roughly 500,000 profiles

This is considered one of the largest data sets to ever be used for research on population mixing... ."

1. 500,000 profiles does not equal 500,000 profiles on blacks. :umad:

2. i have nothing against inclusiveness, but i don't feel like that is what you are doing.

3. once u gave the KKK the authority on who is black u made the dumbest post in this thread. you're probably only second guessing me cuz i'm black. if i was a kkk member you'd just accept what i'm saying as the truth :martin:

4. this is the best diagram i could find to show u what i meant by less than 1% of ancestors tested. look at the male with the arrows pointed to him. only the males next to the blue arrow would show up in his results for 23andme.
