Y'all see this black a$$ African on the "23andMe" TV Spot boastin' about being Irish & Scottish?

Nah breh nikkas in America walking around looking no different than this:

There's always going to be exceptions. You can't tell what's in someone's genes by looking at them. And when you're 70-80% black, you're going to basically look completely black. But we are diluted. If you put 10 of us next to 10 of them, it would show. It's not just skintone either. It's our facial features too.

Nah breh nikkas in America walking around looking no different than this:

as if you don't see many nikkas in every hood US whom wouldn't blend in seamlessly wit them dudeshonestly many of the nikkas run across daily and seen in those Hood 2 Hood documentaries wouldn't look out of place in a Southern Sudanese rebel group at all....for example:

but i forgot...all those nikkas gotta be 2nd generation African immigrants considering the average AA is a mulatto Euro African whom looks like this

nah the vast majority of Africans are brown to darkskin regardless of region but the darkest people in East Africa(your average South Sudanese and many Kenyans)....lightskin people are is a minority with more prevalency in certain ethnic groups more than others in all regions outside of North Africa which really doesn't count due the region being significantly populated by Eurasian/origin non African invaders/settlers

Diet and sun exposure. If you're from West / Central Africa, you're generally darker because you're closer to the Equator. I'd chalk Sudanese up to the fact they essentially live in a desert. This map is basically accurate. You are have tribes in South Africa that aren't that dark because they're much farther away from the Equator than other parts of the continent.

Is this ancestry shyt accurate

not that long ago these ancestry test to implied Egyptian Pharaoh King Tut was genetically British cac so i'll let you be the judge

You can cherry pick all day breh....but we are diluted. And if we all moved back tomorrow, they'd recognize it immediately. Our skintone is lighter, our features are softer, we're mixed with so many African tribes that in general we don't look like any particular one anymore. It's alot.

Look the same to me, can't even tell the difference

One of the better articles on this topic (covering AAs and Africans) is here:
The Genetic Structure and History of Africans and African Americans

25% is actually too high and not typical though the numbers below only add up to 92%

The ancestry of African Americans is predominantly from Niger-Kordofanian (aka West African) (~71%), European (~13%), and other African (~8%) populations, although admixture levels varied considerably among individuals.

This article actually looks at AA ancestry though by part of the country
The Great Migration and African-American Genomic Diversity

Note African/European proportion can vary a lot by individuals but also geography. GA, FL, and SC have the most pushing almost 90% African ancestry. The ones with the least are Cali and Louisiana (both about 75%)--the openness of interracial marriages in the former and the history of creoles in the latter shouldn't surprise anyone on this.

25% is actually too high and not typical though the numbers below only add up to 92%

Because its a range, not a single average.

 

[Sauanaffe Tustunnagee]

Hell my little sister is light skin and my nephew has greyish blue eyes and everyone was like

look at Rukus trying to humble brag about a lightskin sibling and a blue eyed relative while waxing poetic about phantom cac ancestry..you aint you aint specia/still nikkas

 

[DrBanneker]

Because its a range, not a single average.

True, I thought 25% was being stated as the average though it is actually the high end of the range for European ancestry unless someone is mixed or has two mixed parents.

 

[David_TheMan]

US government and police want blacks to get their DNA tested because the US government has law that mandates that they can use the various ccompanies dna databases to run broad searches on DNA evidence left at the scene of crimes.

They want everyone to get tested for that reason, don't do it.

If you're from West / Central Africa, you're generally darker because you're closer to the Equator. I'd chalk Sudanese up to the fact they essentially live in a desert.

South Sudanese are close to the equator too.

in other words there existence debunks your ignorant preconceived notions so you choose to dismiss them and continue to live in a bubble.. damn...i thought you were trolling but you just stupid

you said that like's it's hard to donever seen the poster you named but wake me up when most AAs look like Thurgood Marshall, Stacey Dash(whom obviously has altered her appearance through bleaching and cosmetic surgery throughout the years ) and Smokey Robinsonbut i'll entertain your dumb one more time


ooks close enough to the Thu good Marshall and Smokey Robinson typoe lite brite brehs to me

Tuareg Malian men

West African model whom look close enough to young Stacey Dash's oriiginal phenotype
Agbani Darego

l

Tuaregs from Mali were not part of the slave trade

Im not sure what the lady proves, is she suppose to be an example of light skin?

I never said most AA look like Thurgood Marshall or smokey Robinson, what I'm saying is that people like them don't exist in west Africa, in fact they don't exist anywhere, except for others parts of the Western Hemisphere where there was race mixing

And There are some light skin people in west Africa but it doesn't compare to the light skin in AA

There is a whole subsection of black history regarding passing for white, before there was plastic surgery, show me how many west Africans pass for white?

There are books written about the subculture of light skinned Black people during the 1900s

This is just basic black history, arguing against african Americans having white genes is very ignorant about black history

True, I thought 25% was being stated as the average though it is actually the high end of the range for European ancestry unless someone is mixed or has two mixed parents.

The average has a range usually. I think I've read the study you posted....usually DNA studies give a margin of error so say plus/minus 5, if the avg is 13 then its 8-18.

Also depends on the operational definition of AA which varies by study.

nah considering the vast majority of AAs can't name one non black ancestor that's still much too higheven including the the confirmed biracial/mixed population it should atleast be in the lower around 90% excluding it raises significantly higherhow can these test be the used as a basis for AAs ancestry when 99% of AAs have not taken them though
