Yeah I meant to say they were enslaved. However, technically they were enslaved by their own before they were sold to the white man. Unless you want to believe the white man was so powerful and strong that he was able to go into the various African countries and took whatever pleased him. That means you would be suggesting that Africans were a group of spineless fools. I rather believe they were enslave by their own people then sold to the White man .Bear in mind that the idea of slavery was not racially motivated prior to the 1600s . As matter of fact many races enslaved their own.
@@TheNobleCop slavery in Africa was completely different from the European type of slavery it was more like servitude vs serfdom that was practiced in Europe
@@TheNobleCop Some African tribes raided the villages of other tribes and/or assisted armed Europeans to capture persons to be sold into enslavement…not exactly the same as Africans broadly maintaining a system of slavery, from which they sold some of their property.
@@TheNobleCop lol Africa is not a country. There is no tribe that sold there own folks/tribe. There is more than 100 tribes in Afrika and more kingdoms in Africa.

First time coming across this channel. I’m Jamaican living in Canada since the 1970’s. A Jamaican is a person who was born in Jamaica or has chosen (by immigration to make Jamaica their home). So just as how we are used to seeing people of diverse colours and ethnic backgrounds in Canada I expect to see the same in Jamaica where “Out of many one people “ is very well known. For people to look at you and question your authenticity as a Jamaican is done from a place of ignorance. Being Jamaican is not a race but it is being a part of a nation, a culture- no matter your race.
Most Jamaicans have a very high percentage of African DNA. Yes there are Jamaicans that have mixed backgrounds, but they are a small minority. My parents are Jamaican, Ancestry DNA showed my mom to in fact be 100% African and I’m 98% African 😊✊🏾.
Naima Wright Greetings. Wow. Both my parents are Jamaican and of mixed heritage and many of my Jamaican cousin matches have some admixture. I think I have only seen one Jamaican cousin match who is 100 % African. I know my genetic genealogy is unique among Jamaicans. On my European side, I have Iberian cousin matches (both Portuguese and Spanish) many living in Latin America and a few living in Portugal and Spain) via an unknown paternal great grandmother who I surmise was Puerto Rican of Portuguese and Spanish descent. I also have Sicilian DNA via a maternal 2nd great grandfather. And of course I have English and Irish DNA and found many cousin matches in the world. On the African side, I have found distant cousin matches from Nigeria, Benin, and Mali. Have you found any African matches?
Nah actually there’s no way to gauge every single mixed person because most mixed Jamaicans just identify as black on their census. This is a common misconception but yes, Jamaica is very much mixed and we don’t actually have numbers on how much
@Mulatre Star I hope you're not just using phenotype to also conclude that the majority of Jamaicans are 95% sub Saharan African; that percentage seems way too high to me. I have seen some black peoples' DNA results that were quite unexpected. Nevertheless in this context I consider even 90% to be mixed, as I tend to view race purely biologically, and not socially.
Richard McGrath well race is not biologically. But I somewhat agree with. All Jamaicans are mixed to some degree. Maybe the recent Chinese immigrants may not be. But generational Jamaican who’s parental background verbs in the island for more than 10 generation is “pure” at least in my opinion. We’re not like Trinidad or guyana.

I am British Jamaican. I am also part Irish, Scandinavian, Eastern European, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Inuit and Native American. I always knew about the African side, but wasn’t aware of the Scandinavian, Eastern European, Asian, or Jewish. There was always talk of my family being part Native American, so that was true. My Jewish ancestry comes from my mother’s father. I’m proud of have such a mixed heritage. ‘out of many, one people’.
TRELAWNY There's always someone advising people to not explain themselves to black people but never the other way around. I guess black people don't deserve to have their views acknowledged
@@Scoring57 Having one's views acknowledged is not a bad thing, especially these days transparency in a certain respect is most definitely needed, but defamation of an individual because they look different, is "not one of those cases.

here in the USA , we claim to be the melting pot of the world , but you , young man, you're the melting pot of the world , all on your own , high five to you , young man
Do you know, having checked my DNA I have matches with people all over the world a lot are in the USA and Europe and they are all races. Makes me see the world with different eyes.
I'm glad to see more Jamaicans posting their results. I took mine with 23%me and uploaded my DNA to MyHeritage.My heritage I got 75% African, mostly Nigerian, 12% East Africa from Somalia, Kenya and Masai from Kenya/Tanzania, North Africa 1%, Europe 24% with some Jewish, (confirmed family history), and Italian. Other calculators on GED match showed my Arawak/Taino. My mother and father had it on 23 but I didn't show and, but since they had it I knew it was there. I also have a small % of Indian on 23. Harapa World and Geridosa on GED shows that it's from Baluchistan in Pakistan and East Iran. I'll make a video soon. I find it interesting that we have East African. My maternal haplogroup is also common from what I see in Somalis and East Africans. How the hell did that happen? There are so many unwritten chapters to our history.
Nah all North Indian descended people get “baloch”. It’s more of an ancestral lineage thing. Doesn’t mean your Pakistani. Your south Asian percentage is just Indian
Jamaican country motto:Out of many one people it’s so cool knowing that people from different backgrounds came together and built countries and businesses together
Its nice when your dna an your family tree are in sync. I am 96% African. I was told of some asian ancestry but its only picked up in gedmatch. I have some vids on my channel (British Jamaican )
It’s so refreshing to see someone with a similar genetic makeup. I’m from South Africa and my results were very similar. From one Dougla to another, I get those same type of reactions
I am Jamaican, my DNA results is a mixture of African, Awarak Indian, French, Dutch, English, Russian. Most people would believe I am 100 percent Negro. I have done extensive research on my history and ethnicity. I have traced my history, and found family around the world.
Devon Ellis You say "negro" like a whyte person would. And if most people would think you're 100% black maybe it's cause that's most of what you are and all that should matter really. Unless you appreciate genetics from an abusive group
Jamaicans like myself are so proud that no matter what we Jamaicans look like including African, European Chinese and Indian, etc., or admixture they/we we claim we are Jamaicans even 100% Jamaicans but we are not all ignorant and do know being Jamaican is not a racial or ethnic group. Many Chinese Jamaicans don’t say they’re Chinese they’ll say they are Jamaicans, not Chinese Jamaicans. It’s a Jamaican ting. One of my Chinese friend said a Chinese person spoke to him in a Chinese language and he told them he doesn’t speak any Chinese language he’s Jamaican. That must have confused that person a bit. Jamaicans are proud to be Jamaicans even if they weren’t even born there and only live there for a period of time. I know many Chinese Jamaicans who speak patios quite proudly. I know many Indians as well who are proud to be Jamaicans. Just about any Jamaicans whether Chinese, Indian, European will identify as Jamaicans. 100% Jamaicans whether we are born there or our parents are from there or migrated and live there for a period of time. It’s not much about our ethnicities as it is about our mindset as our of many we are one people. Our motto says who we are as a people, ‘OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE’.🤗❤️
I like that you spoke on mixed people. You literally said it all... definitely never felt like I can identify with anyone. It’s been a lifelong struggle. I’m glad you said it because I know many people don’t think it’s an actual struggle
Me too has had a struggle. My father was I Indian. Mother black I was born in Jamaica. I was called coolie a lot, I looked more Indian then. Now I am older my hair is not so long and shiny.
@Shauna Coleman no they didn't, some of them died, some went off into the hills, there were also a couple different native American tribes that inhabited the land before Christopher Columbus came over
@Shauna Coleman That's what they taught in school but today we now know that's not true. The Spaniards had been known to have procreated with Arawaks so it wasn't even logical to teach us that they were COMPLETELY annihilated.
@@XmeimeisworldX I think that who they're classifying as Native Americans are really Caribs and people from Central American people-groups. Artifacts around the Caribbean confirm that.
In the past I had a German lady who said to me that they are related to my grandmother. As a child at the time I didn't understand, because I never view my grandmother who is my dad's mom as white, or even close; so I ran home and told my father who was very dark skin and he had clarified our heritage coming down from his great grandfather who came to Jamaica from Germany in the year1884. Therefore the mixture of the groups. Now I understand how one of my uncles got his very light complexion.
Mr. Watson, it is always good to have discussions with others for the meaningful exchange of ideas, even when their ideas are of the opposing view and provided they are expressed in mutually respectful ways. However, when those views are racist, discriminatory and contemptuous, do not waste your time on those "miserable few." They are hopeless. There is a saying, "never cast pearl before swine" ... which is essentially saying, don't waste your time on those who are eternally hopeless ... And you will know them by their words.
Dak G What did he say that was "racist"? Maybe a little negative but racist? Where? Black people being aware that they're always taken advantage of and pushed to the bottom with a non-black upper class or hierarchy ruling them is racist? Have you looked at mauritius and how the indian population took over the earlier black population? These are just how things tend to go, and black people can be aware of that and don't have to accept it. Sounds like a hopeful person to me
@@Scoring57 Watson's video had NOTHING to do with "non-black upper class or hierarchy ruling them." It was a video to debunk a myth that "true Jamaicans" are only Blacks (or those of African descent. So Mr. Watson found it necessary to do this video because of his personal experience. McFarlene's attack on Watson was purely ABOUT and in a racial manner, simply because he looks more Indian than Black. And if that is not racial bias, then what is?
@@Scoring57 you seem to have serious issues with Indians! Idi Amin shared a similar hatred. When he kicked the Indian's out of Uganda, the economy collapsed. Indians represented a small fraction of the Ugandan population. Maybe you can learn something from the Indians, instead of waiting for a reparation cheque!!
@@rafaels69 Lol do indians like black people or respect black people? I don't like people who don't like me. I have no reason to dislike indians outside of that. Indians aren't moving into african and black spaces cause they f*king love black people. They move in for their own benefit. Create their insulated exclusive communities making money from locals, and try to be the economic power in those places. Are you telling me I'm supposed to celebrate that cause they might be kind enough to give some black people some crumbs and have us be dependent on them? If the economy of an african country collapsed cause some foreigners who don't respect them left, then that's probably not such a bad thing. It might teach them to learn to rely on themselves You've already shown you own prejudice and condescension resorting to stereotype and alluding to old racist idea that black people do nothing or are lazy. So thanks for proving my point. And actually maybe we should learn something from indians. Go into indian neighborhoods and sell them things, while spitting on them.
I've just had my results back too! I have an Indian mother and a white father. We did mom's ancestry too and although as far as we knew she was 100% Indian, she actually came back 88.5% South Asian, 1.3% Nigerian and the remaining 10% was iberian and baltic/Eastern European. I got my results back last week and I'm 44% South Asian, with some Eastern European which is all from my Indian mum! And my other half is predominantly scandivian, English and Irish. Its amazing to think I have white ancestry from my other. And we have distant relatives on the database in the baltics!!! Thank you for what you said about mixed race people like us though - it really resonated with me. Never quite fitted in anywhere but I'm starting to realise I don't have to fit in just one place, I can embrace and fit in to it all x
ok the eaeuropean in your mom is from ancient indo aryan people who came from central asia/eastern europe. Its called steppe dna. you can research about it if you want. Most northwest indians and pakistanis get more euro than your mom actually. Based on her results im guessing your mom is somewhere from standard northern india like UP, Bihar or Rajasthan. Punjabis, kashmiris get like 15-20% european/central asian.
Ram THom what he’s saying is, Jamaicans are mixed. Even though you may be predominately African no Jamaican is all African. They have some European or non sub Saharan African blood.
Look here we are all humans, and the human family is one race the human race , with different cultures and shade of colour and language. Life efforts us all. God is our maker.
No need to do any DNA test, my parents give me the full information. African, Chinese and Scottish. That's good enough for. Jamaica Court of Arms. Out of many one people.
Well Jamaica is mixed to some degree but it is undoubtedly a predominantly African descended nation. Most of its culture, religions, and primary influences come from west Africa. When I was there I felt like I was walking in Ghana or Nigeria.
I did research to go with doing my dna ancestry and found out my mother’s people came from Iberian Peninsula and Italy and my father from South Africa and west Africa to usa and Jamaica.
Love the video, ethnicity is such a big topic in Jamaica, knowing Ur ancestry is a good thing, our Jamaican motto is "out of many one people" my motto is "out of many people is one" we are not the cause of our diverse mix, history played that part, we are the product of cross race breeding, we did not choose our ancestors, this was a plan devised long ago to destroy our bloodlines and water down our sovereign heritage, to destroy our identity, today people identify themselves with their land of birth, and having a birth certificate that states nationality, our true identity was stolen from us, so we identify with our more prominent features. If U are Jamaican U will understand, most jamaicans will call every Asian 'Mr./Miss chin, doesn't matter if they Mongolian, Tiawanesse, Japanese Chinese or whatever, jus like every Indian is called coolie, funny thing is the word coolie doesn't even have anything to do with Indians...lol. In the grand scheme of all things, should it even matter what we look like? I myself is mixed with all types of races, such as African, German English Scottish, French and Indian, yet I look more indian than anything else, but I dont Identify with any particular race, Yes I'm 100% Jamaican because I was born there, but I identify as a human being, as a Man, I dont be long to any specific ethnicity, although people would try to place me where they see fit(mostly Indian)(even south American...lol). In the Next 50-100 years from now the world will be more populated with more mixed races people more than ever, it has already begun, our generation today has more mixed races than any other time in the world, and it is growing. It is said U have to know yuh history to know where Ur going. The world is heading towards a unifying of races, sovereigns, culture and Nationality. Even the legendary Bob Marley knew what was happening and was for it, as explain in his timeless song "War" with these words "Until the color of a Man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes" It's also funny to me to talk about being a real Jamaican, when the Tianos and Arawaks were the original inhabitants of Jamaica and still were not real Jamaicans, they migrated here in search for sustainable food, and were wiped out completely, none of Us are true Jamaican Natives, but are products of displacement. Even our Jamaican culture is a mixture of other cultures, even our music. Regardless of the facts I'm proud to be Jamaican, we as a nation/people thrive to stand out amongst other nations and countries and always try to bring something to the world. Out Of many we are one people Stay woke!!! Thank U for Sharing Mr. Watson
Your post says it all. ... Very articulate, factual and comprehensive. Well done young man. Your post is a complete repudiation of those who come here with their doctrine of hate.
A which Jamaican a question yuh nationality? I swear some of these ppl spend too much time on social media and seem to get their information from there. No one reads a book anymore. Sas crise. All dem need fi do is guh dung a York town or Vere.
My great grandparents came to Jamaica from India as indentured servants I use to live with my great grandmother from india so for me my indian ancestry is near and dear to me . My dna results were south Asian central Asian mayan inca European and African
I get the same things said to me..my mom is Indian & my father is half Indian..My grand father is Indian & my grandmother is of African decent..I was born in Jamaica & grew up in the US..I am a proud Jamaican who is often mistaken for a African or Haitian..Go figure!
Great Vlog. As Jamaicans we come in all shades of colours, especially in blackness. We consider ourselves to be 100% Jamaican, despite (wife) being born in UK and (husband) born in Jamaica. Both sets of our parents were born in Jamaica, but (wife’s ) mother has some European Jew blood and father has some level of Indian blood. Husband’s mother has some level of Indian too.... at the end of the day we are BLACK PEOPLE and 100% JAMAICANS. Once again, great Vlog 🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🇯🇲💯
I agree that the mixed genes can make us more immune and we have a balanced immunity since we have the blood mixtures of Africa, Europe, Asia, and others.
I really like this video. You’re intelligent…I feel like you deal with a lot of ignorant individuals. You are African, Asian, European, and Native American all at the same time…people will try to force you to only identify with 1 but don’t fall for it. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
@@blasianking1739 Yooo! I most likely will very soon…I was going to post a couple comedy vids to lighten the mood on the channel lol- especially with the last title 🤣
Many indians from India were shipped to Jamaica for indentured servitude. When they worked their allotted time they went back home. However, many stayed and started families on the island. Jamaica is a melting pot, out of many one people. Asians came to the island as well.
Coco Velez correction. Some as in a small amount went home. A large portion couldn’t go home because the British used them as slaves and denied many of them the right for them to go home. So instead of going home the British forced many of them to stay in Jamaica. It was only the lucky ones who were able to go home. BTW the indentured servitude is just a fancy term for slavery. Check the documentary how the British re-invented slavery with the Indians in Jamaica.
From age 9 yrs being told I am not Jamaican don't speak like a JAMAICAN and don't look like a JAMAICAN up to this day. The funny part of being told I sound foreign is age 9 just come from country and was attending Half way Tree primary school.now live a foreign since 76 and still even from my own people is still saying the same.
As a very mixed person myself, I appreciate your kind words regarding people not thinking you fit in. I am from the US and am probably the most common mix here, of African, European and Indigenous American ancestry, yet people always assume I'm from somewhere else. DNA tests estimate that I also have small amounts of Inuit and Polynesian, which makes sense given that there are researchers who've found whole tribal populations in South America with Polynesian DNA. It seems apparent that our ancestors moved between the continents well before Columbus ever set sail. Also, most Indigenous people from the US will not get their DNA tested due to the ongoing cultural genocide here, so the sample group is extremely small, resulting in some inaccurate estimates among the DNA testing companies. I would guess that for both of us, the Inuit and Polynesian are representative of Native North American ancestry. Many tribal people from the northeastern US were sent as slaves to the Caribbean, since it was almost impossible for the Bristish to enslave them in their homelands. At any rate, enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing!
There is no greater gift than to give of oneself to others.

Out of many one people. I am also Jamaican. Something to remember when referring to the people taken from Africa-- the correct term is enslaved people not slaves. One love
Chinese Jamaican heritage with Jewish and Scottish, but waiting patiently for my Dna results to be surprised lol. Chinese and Jamaican I know for a definete though. Most of my dad side have Asian eyes
Mr Lex I don't think they know it's a derogatory word. I had friend who is mixed but mostly Indian and she told me a couple years ago to not say that word and I didn't get it initially because Jamaicans don't use the word in a "rude" manner. Basically it's ignorance, because even some Indians accept being called that so there was never a perceived issue
Because they are probably not even 100% Indian. No need to interject racism here with the word coolie, you are out of order. St. Elizabeth has a lot of people who are European mixed, indeed Seaford has a lot of pure German who haven't mixed. Out of many we are one, doesn't mean that you have to be mixed raced it means that the island is made up of people from all races but we are all Jamaicans...
One hundred percent Jamaican, with an admixture of most of the ethnic groups comprising the Jamaican identity. Congratulations on your find. Don't ever listen to the doubters who knows nothing about Jamaica and its peoples. You are considered a Dougla in the Caribbean and that is very common.
I have thought about taking one of these tests but have not done do. I think mine would show that I have a large percentage of African genes and then some Arrawak or Tiano genes. I feel like this in my soul and yes, fully Jamaican.
You're like my grandfather from Panama ( hair, nose and skin's color). I've got my DNA test results from Myheritage and I was surprised to get 0% of Asia. My parents are from french West Indies ( sorry for my English) and I got 49,6% of Subsaharan Africa, 48,8 of Europe and 1,2 of North-Africa. I have almost the same rates than you for Nigeria , Kenya, Ashkenazi Jewish. I got also Iberia, Scandinavia, East-Europe, West Africa... But when I went to Gedmatch, I've got very low rates of South-Asia, East-Asia and West-Asia. I heard that Myheritage wasn't as efficient as My Ancestry.
After myheritage dna , I got other results on 23andme : 49.4% Sub-Saharan-African, 48.2% European and 1.1% Native-American. Although these results are almost similar, I suppose that 23andme is more accurate than Myheritage. Native-American makes more sense than North-African for me if my ancestors have been living in the West Indies and America for several centuries.

My Jewish ancestry comes from my mother’s father. I’m proud of have such a mixed heritage. ‘out of many, one people’.
Thank you for saying the Arawak Indians, and please do not get into the habit of explaining yourself to naysayers🥺
I couldn't agree with you more. Mr. Watson should not waste his time responding to the miserable and hopeless few.

There's always someone advising people to not explain themselves to black people but never the other way around. I guess black people don't deserve to have their views acknowledged
@@Scoring57 Having one's views acknowledged is not a bad thing, especially these days transparency in a certain respect is most definitely needed, but defamation of an individual because they look different, is "not one of those cases. I can't believe this has to be pointed out to you in 2019, start looking at what an individual dose for Jamaica and that it is transparent and good.
GU DEH FE TRUE OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE SO GOOD TO BE A TRUE 🇯🇲 JAMAICAN BLESS 🙌🏿 UP.
here in the USA , we claim to be the melting pot of the world ,
but you , young man, you're the melting pot of the world , all on your own ,
high five to you , young man
Do you know, having checked my DNA I have matches with people all over the world a lot are in the USA and Europe and they are all races. Makes me see the world with different eyes.
I'm glad to see more Jamaicans posting their results. I took mine with 23%me and uploaded my DNA to MyHeritage.My heritage I got 75% African, mostly Nigerian, 12% East Africa from Somalia, Kenya and Masai from Kenya/Tanzania, North Africa 1%, Europe 24% with some Jewish, (confirmed family history), and Italian. Other calculators on GED match showed my Arawak/Taino. My mother and father had it on 23 but I didn't show and, but since they had it I knew it was there. I also have a small % of Indian on 23. Harapa World and Geridosa on GED shows that it's from Baluchistan in Pakistan and East Iran. I'll make a video soon.
I find it interesting that we have East African. My maternal haplogroup is also common from what I see in Somalis and East Africans. How the hell did that happen? There are so many unwritten chapters to our history.
@barwaaqo cadey Thank you. Just keep the crazy relatives away from me. I got enough of those on the Jamaican side!LOL!
Nah all North Indian descended people get “baloch”. It’s more of an ancestral lineage thing. Doesn’t mean your Pakistani. Your south Asian percentage is just Indian
Jamaican country motto:Out of many one people it’s so cool knowing that people from different backgrounds came together and built countries and businesses together
That is why we must save jamaica.
Being 100 % Indian and Indian looking is no sin. Being 100% black is no sin. We are all human beings
No mind dem out of many we are ONE
Its nice when your dna an your family tree are in sync. I am 96% African. I was told of some asian ancestry but its only picked up in gedmatch. I have some vids on my channel (British Jamaican )
WOW
🇯🇲🇺🇸🇯🇲 Give thanks mi bredda and bless up to you n yours all the time!
Jamaicans are a melting pot of races our major I think is from Africa but we have many other in the mix in our blood 🇯🇲
It’s so refreshing to see someone with a similar genetic makeup. I’m from South Africa and my results were very similar. From one Dougla to another, I get those same type of reactions
Do people confuse you for Indian or Sri Lankan a lot?
Are you a cape coloured? You’re not dougla lol that’s a caribbean term only
I always wondered if dougla is considered ONLY Indian and African? What if they have like say native and European as well?
@@kevinyounker7053 in Suriname they call every mixed person dougla. Black mixed with indian, natives or Chinese. All are called dougla.
Thank you so much Brother, for telling the truth,.and that weare all mixed race people. Out of many we are one much love Bro.
I am Jamaican, my DNA results is a mixture of African, Awarak Indian, French, Dutch, English, Russian. Most people would believe I am 100 percent Negro. I have done extensive research on my history and ethnicity. I have traced my history, and found family around the world.

You say "negro" like a whyte person would. And if most people would think you're 100% black maybe it's cause that's most of what you are and all that should matter really. Unless you appreciate genetics from an abusive group
@@Scoring57 Frankly that is a dumb thing to say.
@@f.marshall8268be nice
Jamaicans like myself are so proud that no matter what we Jamaicans look like including African, European Chinese and Indian, etc., or admixture they/we we claim we are Jamaicans even 100% Jamaicans but we are not all ignorant and do know being Jamaican is not a racial or ethnic group. Many Chinese Jamaicans don’t say they’re Chinese they’ll say they are Jamaicans, not Chinese Jamaicans. It’s a Jamaican ting. One of my Chinese friend said a Chinese person spoke to him in a Chinese language and he told them he doesn’t speak any Chinese language he’s Jamaican. That must have confused that person a bit. Jamaicans are proud to be Jamaicans even if they weren’t even born there and only live there for a period of time. I know many Chinese Jamaicans who speak patios quite proudly. I know many Indians as well who are proud to be Jamaicans. Just about any Jamaicans whether Chinese, Indian, European will identify as Jamaicans. 100% Jamaicans whether we are born there or our parents are from there or migrated and live there for a period of time. It’s not much about our ethnicities as it is about our mindset as our of many we are one people. Our motto says who we are as a people, ‘OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE’.🤗❤️
I like that you spoke on mixed people. You literally said it all... definitely never felt like I can identify with anyone. It’s been a lifelong struggle. I’m glad you said it because I know many people don’t think it’s an actual struggle
Me too has had a struggle. My father was I Indian. Mother black I was born in Jamaica. I was called coolie a lot, I looked more Indian then. Now I am older my hair is not so long and shiny.
The Eskimo/Inuit is probably your Native American heritage. I'm assuming Arawak/Taino. But yeah, great results man, you are mixed as hell.
Smart man 🤔✊👍
@Shauna Coleman no they didn't, some of them died, some went off into the hills, there were also a couple different native American tribes that inhabited the land before Christopher Columbus came over
@Shauna Coleman Not true. There are black Jamaicans with Taino blood who have been trying to revive Taino culture.
@Shauna Coleman That's what they taught in school but today we now know that's not true. The Spaniards had been known to have procreated with Arawaks so it wasn't even logical to teach us that they were COMPLETELY annihilated.
@@XmeimeisworldX I think that who they're classifying as Native Americans are really Caribs and people from Central American people-groups. Artifacts around the Caribbean confirm that.
In the past I had a German lady who said to me that they are related to my grandmother. As a child at the time I didn't understand, because I never view my grandmother who is my dad's mom as white, or even close; so I ran home and told my father who was very dark skin and he had clarified our heritage coming down from his great grandfather who came to Jamaica from Germany in the year1884. Therefore the mixture of the groups. Now I understand how one of my uncles got his very light complexion.
Mr. Watson, it is always good to have discussions with others for the meaningful exchange of ideas, even when their ideas are of the opposing view and provided they are expressed in mutually respectful ways. However, when those views are racist, discriminatory and contemptuous, do not waste your time on those "miserable few." They are hopeless. There is a saying, "never cast pearl before swine" ... which is essentially saying, don't waste your time on those who are eternally hopeless ... And you will know them by their words.
Dak G
What did he say that was "racist"? Maybe a little negative but racist? Where? Black people being aware that they're always taken advantage of and pushed to the bottom with a non-black upper class or hierarchy ruling them is racist? Have you looked at mauritius and how the indian population took over the earlier black population? These are just how things tend to go, and black people can be aware of that and don't have to accept it. Sounds like a hopeful person to me
@@Scoring57 Watson's video had NOTHING to do with "non-black upper class or hierarchy ruling them." It was a video to debunk a myth that "true Jamaicans" are only Blacks (or those of African descent. So Mr. Watson found it necessary to do this video because of his personal experience. McFarlene's attack on Watson was purely ABOUT and in a racial manner, simply because he looks more Indian than Black. And if that is not racial bias, then what is?
@@Scoring57 you seem to have serious issues with Indians! Idi Amin shared a similar hatred. When he kicked the Indian's out of Uganda, the economy collapsed. Indians represented a small fraction of the Ugandan population. Maybe you can learn something from the Indians, instead of waiting for a reparation cheque!!
@@rafaels69
Lol do indians like black people or respect black people? I don't like people who don't like me. I have no reason to dislike indians outside of that.
Indians aren't moving into african and black spaces cause they f*king love black people. They move in for their own benefit. Create their insulated exclusive communities making money from locals, and try to be the economic power in those places. Are you telling me I'm supposed to celebrate that cause they might be kind enough to give some black people some crumbs and have us be dependent on them? If the economy of an african country collapsed cause some foreigners who don't respect them left, then that's probably not such a bad thing. It might teach them to learn to rely on themselves
You've already shown you own prejudice and condescension resorting to stereotype and alluding to old racist idea that black people do nothing or are lazy. So thanks for proving my point. And actually maybe we should learn something from indians. Go into indian neighborhoods and sell them things, while spitting on them.
@@Scoring57 I see your point here and I have to agree with you.

Love your Jamaican accent. I have been there. Wonderful country and people. I am proud to say I visited the best island in the Caribbean.
I've just had my results back too! I have an Indian mother and a white father. We did mom's ancestry too and although as far as we knew she was 100% Indian, she actually came back 88.5% South Asian, 1.3% Nigerian and the remaining 10% was iberian and baltic/Eastern European. I got my results back last week and I'm 44% South Asian, with some Eastern European which is all from my Indian mum! And my other half is predominantly scandivian, English and Irish. Its amazing to think I have white ancestry from my other. And we have distant relatives on the database in the baltics!!! Thank you for what you said about mixed race people like us though - it really resonated with me. Never quite fitted in anywhere but I'm starting to realise I don't have to fit in just one place, I can embrace and fit in to it all x
ok the eaeuropean in your mom is from ancient indo aryan people who came from central asia/eastern europe. Its called steppe dna. you can research about it if you want. Most northwest indians and pakistanis get more euro than your mom actually. Based on her results im guessing your mom is somewhere from standard northern india like UP, Bihar or Rajasthan. Punjabis, kashmiris get like 15-20% european/central asian.

@Mr Lex The Jamaicans I've met in Canada have given me the same attitude. It's just ignorance.
Well Jamaica is mixed to some degree but it is undoubtedly a predominantly African descended nation. Most of its culture, religions, and primary influences come from west Africa. When I was there I felt like I was walking in Ghana or Nigeria.
Errr Christianity is african religion??
Your mother is beautiful 🌹
I did research to go with doing my dna ancestry and found out my mother’s people came from Iberian Peninsula and Italy and my father from South Africa and west Africa to usa and Jamaica.
Cool results brother.. Bless up!
First Nation Blood line , the combination of mixed races turned out so awesome ❤️.
There’s only one race, biology dictates that.
Love the video, ethnicity is such a big topic in Jamaica, knowing Ur ancestry is a good thing, our Jamaican motto is "out of many one people" my motto is "out of many people is one" we are not the cause of our diverse mix, history played that part, we are the product of cross race breeding, we did not choose our ancestors, this was a plan devised long ago to destroy our bloodlines and water down our sovereign heritage, to destroy our identity, today people identify themselves with their land of birth, and having a birth certificate that states nationality, our true identity was stolen from us, so we identify with our more prominent features. If U are Jamaican U will understand, most jamaicans will call every Asian 'Mr./Miss chin, doesn't matter if they Mongolian, Tiawanesse, Japanese Chinese or whatever, jus like every Indian is called coolie, funny thing is the word coolie doesn't even have anything to do with Indians...lol.
In the grand scheme of all things, should it even matter what we look like? I myself is mixed with all types of races, such as African, German English Scottish, French and Indian, yet I look more indian than anything else, but I dont Identify with any particular race, Yes I'm 100% Jamaican because I was born there, but I identify as a human being, as a Man, I dont be long to any specific ethnicity, although people would try to place me where they see fit(mostly Indian)(even south American...lol). In the Next 50-100 years from now the world will be more populated with more mixed races people more than ever, it has already begun, our generation today has more mixed races than any other time in the world, and it is growing.
It is said U have to know yuh history to know where Ur going.
The world is heading towards a unifying of races, sovereigns, culture and Nationality.
Even the legendary Bob Marley knew what was happening and was for it, as explain in his timeless song "War" with these words "Until the color of a Man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes"
It's also funny to me to talk about being a real Jamaican, when the Tianos and Arawaks were the original inhabitants of Jamaica and still were not real Jamaicans, they migrated here in search for sustainable food, and were wiped out completely, none of Us are true Jamaican Natives, but are products of displacement.
Even our Jamaican culture is a mixture of other cultures, even our music.
Regardless of the facts I'm proud to be Jamaican, we as a nation/people thrive to stand out amongst other nations and countries and always try to bring something to the world.
Out Of many we are one people

Great Vlog. As Jamaicans we come in all shades of colours, especially in blackness. We consider ourselves to be 100% Jamaican, despite (wife) being born in UK and (husband) born in Jamaica. Both sets of our parents were born in Jamaica, but (wife’s ) mother has some European Jew blood and father has some level of Indian blood. Husband’s mother has some level of Indian too.... at the end of the day we are BLACK PEOPLE and 100% JAMAICANS. Once again, great Vlog 🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🇯🇲💯
if you are mixed with europeans indians jewish you are no longer black hon.You are mixed end of story
I agree that the mixed genes can make us more immune and we have a balanced immunity since we have the blood mixtures of Africa, Europe, Asia, and others.

Many indians from India were shipped to Jamaica for indentured servitude. When they worked their allotted time they went back home. However, many stayed and started families on the island. Jamaica is a melting pot, out of many one people. Asians came to the island as well.
Coco Velez correction. Some as in a small amount went home. A large portion couldn’t go home because the British used them as slaves and denied many of them the right for them to go home. So instead of going home the British forced many of them to stay in Jamaica. It was only the lucky ones who were able to go home. BTW the indentured servitude is just a fancy term for slavery. Check the documentary how the British re-invented slavery with the Indians in Jamaica.
Yes indo Jamaican. That's what he is.
Alot of them were kidnapped from india as well and sold into servitude in Jamaica.

As a very mixed person myself, I appreciate your kind words regarding people not thinking you fit in. I am from the US and am probably the most common mix here, of African, European and Indigenous American ancestry, yet people always assume I'm from somewhere else. DNA tests estimate that I also have small amounts of Inuit and Polynesian, which makes sense given that there are researchers who've found whole tribal populations in South America with Polynesian DNA. It seems apparent that our ancestors moved between the continents well before Columbus ever set sail. Also, most Indigenous people from the US will not get their DNA tested due to the ongoing cultural genocide here, so the sample group is extremely small, resulting in some inaccurate estimates among the DNA testing companies. I would guess that for both of us, the Inuit and Polynesian are representative of Native North American ancestry. Many tribal people from the northeastern US were sent as slaves to the Caribbean, since it was almost impossible for the Bristish to enslave them in their homelands. At any rate, enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing!
There is no greater gift than to give of oneself to others.

Mr Lex I don't think they know it's a derogatory word. I had friend who is mixed but mostly Indian and she told me a couple years ago to not say that word and I didn't get it initially because Jamaicans don't use the word in a "rude" manner. Basically it's ignorance, because even some Indians accept being called that so there was never a perceived issue
@@pu4rfect980 In Jamaica its not derogatory.
Because they are probably not even 100% Indian. No need to interject racism here with the word coolie, you are out of order. St. Elizabeth has a lot of people who are European mixed, indeed Seaford has a lot of pure German who haven't mixed. Out of many we are one, doesn't mean that you have to be mixed raced it means that the island is made up of people from all races but we are all Jamaicans...
Your so lucky to have Eskimo lineage. I hope I have that and East African like Kenya running through my veins
One hundred percent Jamaican, with an admixture of most of the ethnic groups comprising the Jamaican identity. Congratulations on your find. Don't ever listen to the doubters who knows nothing about Jamaica and its peoples. You are considered a Dougla in the Caribbean and that is very common.
Nice one, now the Jamaicans can keep quite now. I am half Jamaican and get this all the time.
I have thought about taking one of these tests but have not done do. I think mine would show that I have a large percentage of African genes and then some Arrawak or Tiano genes. I feel like this in my soul and yes, fully Jamaican.
You might be surprised, I sure was...
Big up bro!
You're like my grandfather from Panama ( hair, nose and skin's color). I've got my DNA test results from Myheritage and I was surprised to get 0% of Asia. My parents are from french West Indies ( sorry for my English) and I got 49,6% of Subsaharan Africa, 48,8 of Europe and 1,2 of North-Africa.
I have almost the same rates than you for Nigeria , Kenya, Ashkenazi Jewish. I got also Iberia, Scandinavia, East-Europe, West Africa... But when I went to Gedmatch, I've got very low rates of South-Asia, East-Asia and West-Asia. I heard that Myheritage wasn't as efficient as My Ancestry.
After myheritage dna , I got other results on 23andme : 49.4% Sub-Saharan-African, 48.2% European and 1.1% Native-American. Although these results are almost similar, I suppose that 23andme is more accurate than Myheritage. Native-American makes more sense than North-African for me if my ancestors have been living in the West Indies and America for several centuries.
the smaller percentage are from centuries of your ancestors, especially the Eskimo part.. amazing
You have everything my brother.
What does Jamaican looks like?out of many one poeple.my grandmother was white my grandfather black funny i dont look mixed.just dark complextion.my kids light skin.
