‘I Would Have Fought You’: LeVar Burton Claps Back at Troll After Learning His Great-Great-Grandfather Was a White Confederate Soldier

[Fill Collins]

In spite of that, he's influenced millions of Black children to be literate and enter the world of STEM to achieve better in their lives....

His white ancestor undoubtedly failed to break the spirit of his Black descendants...

Books were the only thing I really had to myself as a kid and watching a Black man put me into more books on TV!?

I owe that man a beer, we don't choose our parents, let alone any ancestors — but you don't have to take my word for it

My great-grandma was half Cherokee, which makes me 6.25% Cherokee. Damn we too rare out here

Can you prove it on the baker/dawes roll? I'm no expert, but you might be able to claim Cherokee if you can.

Learned it here, timestamp

Presuming he raped her, right?

Yes, it was all rape.
All sexual relations between White men and Black women were rapes because she could not give her consent or not.

Thousands compared to millions without.

How you know?

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

No one should be surprised.

Also, all those about having "native american indian" in your blood is just that....

It's from you know who.....WHITE ANCESTORS

dam bruh.. you might wanna pick up a book.

I already replied to you

Again, here are the statistics: Whereas virtually all African Americans have a considerable amount of European ancestry in their genomes, only 19 percent have at least 1 percent Native American ancestry, and only 5 percent of African American people carry more than 2 percent Native American ancestry. How do these percentages translate into ancestry? Well, if you have 5 percent Native American ancestry in your admixture result, that means you had one Native American ancestor four to five generations back (120 to 150 years ago). If you have 2 percent Native American ancestry, you had one such ancestor on your family tree five to nine generations back (150 to 270 years ago). One percent of Native American ancestry means that this ancestor entered your bloodline six to 10 generations back (180 to 300 years ago).

I’m not saying black people got a big percentage of Native American blood but in my opinion I can’t see how black people at the very least don’t have about the same amount as the Caucasians

It makes the most sense to me that the blacks in the whole diaspora not just the us have a mixture of Africans, natives of the land, and Europeans

And because of the circumstances we were born in I doubt looking up genetics will prove much

Henry Louis gates isn’t proof

Henry Louis gates isn’t proof

He has a BA in history from Yale and provided his sources/research in the article. You posted the cover of a book.

These crackkkers barely got it as well. If you visit the subreddit, you'll be a post from time to time about a white person discovering that "Indian" blood they have is actually Afrikan blood. They usually admit their family members are racists.

 

[Rekkapryde]

But there is black people with Native American blood

No where near what we hype it up to be. Not close. Even Gates himself believed that of his own family until he did the trace and found out the hard truth

Could be a trick baby

We come in different shades for a reason folks. This shouldn't surprise anyone.
