Please keep in mind that the average American descendant of slaves will always have multiple differing African DNA. I myself can trace my heritage to 6 different African countries,. Why is this the case? When they brought our ancestors to America. they purposely separated people from the same tribes so that they would not be able to use their native languages to plot against them.

No other people were forced out of their history and family sir names in the history of this country. Our people never got the 40 acres nor the mule.

Something to think about: The term "slave" erases the idea of humanness from the people who were enslaved. These people, were PEOPLE: men, women children, moms, dads, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, professionals, chiefs, Queen mothers, skilled laborers, students, etc. in their country of origin. They are now our ancestors who deserve to be revered and respected. Not simply categorized as "slaves". They were NEVER slaves. So then why do we call these human beings "slaves" due to the name the actual enslavers, kidnappers, rapists, abusers, etc. decided to label them with? I refer to MY people as African men, women and children...PEOPLE. I refuse to use the term slave...any more. I'm making an effort to change the narrative around my people who had the resilience, strength, and faith to survive atrocities and create a whole new, original culture and lifestyle that is revered and replicated world wide.

Believe me when I say, it is the black people of America who refuse to let anybody forget they are slaves. They don’t see that they have been unchained for a very long time. For some reason they want to keep themselves in bondage. We would all be very happy to never have to hear the word slave again. To everybody who lives their lives in history: STOP LOOKING BACK! YOU’RE NOT GOING THAT WAY.

The actual truth is that Africans were the last to be used as slaves. It was first white people, Irish, Scottish, Some Europeans, then they moved on to indians. The white enslavers then moved on to the black Africans, why because Africans were seen to be much stronger and 5he white people seeing our culture and civilisation because e fearful of our resources and natural wealth. Arabs were the ones who started selling our African people to the whites and others joined. They are still selling our people expecially our women via apps now. Black African women stop going to the middle east for work. Research. Till today it is obvious Africans and decendents are strong as we are the most persecuted in this world. America brings our people to their nation and still persecute our people. Are they still in fear of this race? Is that why most of our men are in prison? We will rise again in Africa.

So glad my people know they are not african this is nonsense. Most Native Americans, if living in Britain today, would be regarded as being "black," especially if their ancestry were not known. "Negro" was also used in a general way in the North American colonies. Some examples illustrate the use of "negro" and "black" as applied to people of American ancestry. In 1619 some twenty "negroes" were brought to Virginia. At least eleven have names of Spanish or probably Spanish character. Later they were joined by "negroes" and "mulattoes" with names such as Antonio (several) and John Pedro. In 1670 the population of the Virginia colony was said to be 40,000 including 2,000 "black slaves." Evidence indicates that there could not have been that many Africans there and also that there were a great many American slaves or servants. Thus the total of "blacks" must have included a good many Americans. In 1698 three fugitive "negroes" were reported in North Carolina, of whom one was an American. 12 Similarly, a list of"N egroes" imported into Virginia, 1 710-1718, by sea includes at least sixty-nine "Indians," mostly from the Carolinas. Likewise, lists of "N egroes" brought into New York from 1 715 to 1736 include many slaves of probable (or stated) American ancestry from Campeche, Jamaica, Honduras, the Carolinas, and Virginia. Young was anxious to prove that the so-called "Black" Caribs were not true aborigines but were in fact "N egro colonists, Free Negroes, or Negro usurpers." This was important to him because he wanted to show they had no bonafide land-rights or aboriginal title.

Well done! Regarding the Akan people: It is not possible to specify a country unless a specific ethnic name is given, such as Baoulé or Ashanti. Some ethnic groups within this people are spread across two or even three countries in present-day Africa. The Akan people are also present in Côte d'Ivoire, where they represent 42% of the population. There are also Akans in Burkina Faso and Togo. Ghana is the center of the empire, the percentage of Akan in the Ghanaian population is approximately of 47%.

I am so proud of all those African Americans who decided to trace their roots . It is good to know where we actually come from to determine who we really are. When queen Elizabeth died, I was so surprise to see that even the whites have their culture. To all the blacks searching for their roots, may the Almighty God help Unite you with your ancestors .

So glad my people know they are not african this is nonsense. Most Native Americans, if living in Britain today, would be regarded as being "black," especially if their ancestry were not known. "Negro" was also used in a general way in the North American colonies. Some examples illustrate the use of "negro" and "black" as applied to people of American ancestry. In 1619 some twenty "negroes" were brought to Virginia. At least eleven have names of Spanish or probably Spanish character. Later they were joined by "negroes" and "mulattoes" with names such as Antonio (several) and John Pedro. In 1670 the population of the Virginia colony was said to be 40,000 including 2,000 "black slaves." Evidence indicates that there could not have been that many Africans there and also that there were a great many American slaves or servants. Thus the total of "blacks" must have included a good many Americans. In 1698 three fugitive "negroes" were reported in North Carolina, of whom one was an American. 12 Similarly, a list of"N egroes" imported into Virginia, 1 710-1718, by sea includes at least sixty-nine "Indians," mostly from the Carolinas. Likewise, lists of "N egroes" brought into New York from 1 715 to 1736 include many slaves of probable (or stated) American ancestry from Campeche, Jamaica, Honduras, the Carolinas, and Virginia. Young was anxious to prove that the so-called "Black" Caribs were not true aborigines but were in fact "N egro colonists, Free Negroes, or Negro usurpers." This was important to him because he wanted to show they had no bonafide land-rights or aboriginal title.

We are all much more similar than different, that's for sure. It's only fear & ignorance, that truly divides us all.
