Sitting there listening to facts previously unknown has got to be overwhelming and painful,
Ciara's cup is half-full. It's not half-empty. You can tell by her response that she is sad those things happened to her ancestors but she is just more appreciative that what they endured helped her to be in the position she is in now. It's a spiritual element that fills her. Plus some of her ancestors are White. When you know that your mind has to shift a bit.
All Black Americans descendants of slaves have white ancestors. R. Aping of our ancestors was very common and almost like a sport for white men.
@@LynetCEshunhard to fully hate the blood that flows through your own veins
@@LynetCEshunnot all . Watching this would tell you that !!
Not all. Some of them most of liked it😂😂😂@@LynetCEshun
That is how normal healthy people are supposed to be. Every group on earth has gone through some horrible things in their ancestry but they dont make that their identity or blame everything in it. This series just made me love Ciara even more. You can see even in her personal life. She had a baby with a loser but she she picked up her pieces and moved on to better. You never hear her identify with her past situation. Meanwhile her ex has never slept well since they broke up
Yet, look at our society now. Still trying to manipulate and treat others less then.
Ciara seems so out of touch. She almost sounding like Porsha Williams when she described the Underground Railroad.
Where are the "We descend from Native American Black people now" where are they...?
Some of these prior enslave individuals were descendants from the Native American not all slaves were from Africa.
Yea
Soooo surprised at her results I thought she would be about 60 percent
She is so beautiful
People just trying to survive, God bless them.
We are blessed that we should be thankful and grateful that we didn't go through what they went through in those days. Kids then would learn to appreciate life more.
How bizarre that slaves endured inspite of all the oppression, injustices and racism in the USA 🇺🇲 😢
So hard to hear and so sad.
You can tell from her face and nose, she has European in her.
There are full blooded black Africans with her face except they're just way darker. If anything the only Caucasian trait I see on her is her jawline.
She had a nose job
@@honey31786 Even if that’s true, predominantly Black DNA does not look like her
@@skipfluck4299no
Yeah but we're going through it in a different way nowadays. Still invisible signs still out there 👀
Anger is a natural human response.
Its good to find things out about those who came before you, and what they endured.
Truth be told they still doing the same thing just with a twist in every aspect of life.
Yea
And what has changed? I need a moment
🌹🌹🌹🌹
they may of lied and said there was no profit
They invented new forms of slavery in 5sec yet some see some dont its a crazy world stay blessed
🧡
share croppers that can't read sign bad contracts, but reading was forbidden by law when they were slaves.
R&B singers that sign bad contracts have no excuse.
That’s where all our people from
When they had work and life and chores, their together time created more work, but also more joy, too. Maybe.
...but Ciara CANNOT sing.
Still got waaaaaay richer than you’ll ever be though because of singing. You’re miserable..thanks for showing us but we didn’t need to know 😊
William ZImmerman eh.....
Ciara is making these angry faces finding out the truth she didn’t like that R word ! But she smiled knowing her great grandfather was white and said that’s amazing
Yea it's crazy
She don't care
Her reactions to the things he was telling her were weird she was so unbothered. You would think half the stuff he was telling her you would be completely bothered by, but she was so desensitized I found it so strange.
Go away, you make me tired.
I think it's shock, awe, AND the info is so staggering! How could she digest it right then on the spot and have a camera ready reaction. I would want to take everything home, re-read the reports, and sit with it. She's African American and highly unlikely to be surprised she descended from slaves.
It's white people who are quick to deny these things. The USA as a whole is desensitized to the everyday horrors that still continue. Racism, daily shootings and the media as a whole keeps people on such high alert. People just go through the motions of life. As people of color we are not surprised nor accepting of the cruelty that still continues.

Exactly. They are her ancestors, not her 1st cousin down the street. Finding out about one’s lineage doesn’t always bring on full hysterical sadness, just a slow realization and awe.
I didn't say she had to be hysterically sad I just found it weird that she had like no emotion it was strange @@lizi1115
Sad story....anyway...
