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.
I think America should give all people classifying themselves as, Black/African -Americans, a free genetic tracing of their cultural roots if they request one. 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. It's like wandering in the dark without any light to help you see the path. I'm sure that was the intent in the first place.
Sierra Leone was developed as a point of return for African slaves repatriated from the West. Meaning multiple tribes were sent back to SL and settled there.
This is so true. Some of us can just see African Americans and know which country they may have come from. Even in Ghana, we can tell if someone is from Nigeria, Congo, Togo, just by looking at them without DNA. Serena Williams is really Nigerian. Usher and John are really Ghanaians.
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.

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.

I could see it too That why she’s so tall and strong with her sister included. Nigerians are one of the strongest & tallest ppl in west Africa. West Africa has the best fit males. That’s why the Europeans choose Africans from that area….. I’m from Sierra Leone, so I know.

Y'all not African so why are y'all traumatized just dramatic your from the Americas your ancestors some of them come from Africa that has nothing to do with you
Im African American. Ive done three DNA test before doing African Ancestrory test (had to save up for that one :) But for the bigger test says I'm 18.2% Yorùbá. 16.6% Akan people. Esan 10.3%. Mende 5.1. Mandinka 4.8%. Kassena 3.9 %. Igbo 3.1 %. Cameroon Bantu 2.1 %.Benin 2 %. (and some other stuff not related to finding out where my family came from.) So by looking at this, would my main tribe be considered Yorùbá & Akan people? Im still waiting for my African Ancestors DNA that pinpoints my maternal tribe, but Im so excited to get all the info?
I found out I have a Congolese or Angolan ancestor, somewhere between 1690-1780. I want to find some way to embrace that heritage, because I think everyone should know and be proud of who they are! This was a great video, thank you! I've really been enjoying this channel since I discovered it.
This is a good thing being able to identify your African background! I have been wanting to do this myself. Being able to trace my background in my opinion is very important.
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.
It's something I dream about. I know I'm mostly Nigerian. Don't mean to bring the mood down but it should be a free service to all African American ppl It's the least they must do
That can't trace nothing from a DNA test cus dna tests are only for entertainment purposes. Beyonce them are from America ! Thet came from a Indian tribe in America fam ... in a Afrikan person is a caucasian person you ppl been brainwashed
Explain your cos I don’t understand what does Ghana got to do with this,it’s Ghanaians who did the DNA for them or we false their dna Eiii God when will you guys leave Ghana alone witches
This is a great and very well done video… I traced my roots to the Tikar people of Cameroon and Bubi people on Bioko Island Equatorial Guinea!!! Sooo proud to officially be a Son of Alkebulan!!!

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%.
😮, Serena, an Igbo chick? I am shocked but not surprised. I hope she visits and finds her people, she will realize what a great industrious, imaginative, gifted, resilient, and blessed people she comes from. I can say that as a proud Yoruba woman.
Just prepare yourselves to come back home. None of you will ever find true happiness anywhere else. Even if today Africa appears poor, our tomorrow will be bright. Home is home.

African Americans must now know that we Africans have known this for a very long time. We could roughly know their origin from their physique. It is so obvious for us to make the difference between you, thanks to the difference between us, Africans. We didn't want to tell you but we pretty much knew who's who among black Americans. A Senegalese is physically different from a Cameroonian. A Gabonese does not look like a Ghanaian. Etc..😅
True but people like me throw people off because there’s 8 different African countries in my dna Constantly get mistaken for a Ghanaian or Senegalese woman, even in my home country Sierra Leone
@@p51424 no fool, you need to relax. Just because someone is born in Ghana doesn’t make them half Ghanaian. Especially when that person himself has said twice out of his mouth that both his parents are Sierra Leoneans. Using your logic all the Ghanaians born to two Ghanaian parents in England are all half English. You should be jailed for the way you reason things. If your midget Ghanaian self was born in Nigeria to two Ghanaian parents you would NOT be Nigerian. When you die and they check your DNA they’re not going to know you were born in Nigeria, all they’re going to know is that your DNA matches up with the people of Ghana. Next time use your brain, not your left kidney to address me
@@julianaansah6367 you must be a mad woman. Me pointing out the truth that came out Idris’ own mouth, is not “fighting” as you put it. You’re saying “nobody cares,” yet under this comment alone TWO possible Ghanaians have claimed him using baseless rhetoric. So evidently y’all do care. He brags about Sierra Leone, not Ghana. Everyone is wondering why Ghanaians are so pressed, when he doesn’t even brag about y’all and, has said TWICE publicly that BOTH his parents are Sierra Leoneans. His mother even sounds like a Sierra Leonean when she speaks. Take your rubbish elsewhere
I think you may be misinterpreting his results. Where did you get this info from? That percentage usually means that's how much his DNA that was analyzed matched a particular African DNA, not that he's 90% that one African group or region.
In another documentary one of Chris Tucker ancestry is in Angola which he also documented and Quincy Jones has one of his ancestors in Cameroon as well
A lot of Angola, Congo, Cameroon we’re sent to Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina & mixed (married each other ) so many African Americans whose ancestors come from There have that ancestry
Yeah I saw that too. He went to Angola with Henry Louis Gates back to his very village. His ancestors were at war with the Portuguese and the tribes allied with them. His ancestors were among those prisoners of war that were taken, enslaved, and sent to America.
Chris went to Angola to find his roots and I specifically remember Cameroon for Quincy Jones and the fact that he came from a tribe in Cameroon known for music. This was on Finding Your Roots which I’ll believe more than this person.
God blesses you my dear akan people originally from Aneho/Togo but in this case I realize that majority of black Africans-Americans celebrities were from Ghana 😅anyway am glad they finding their root of ancestry ✌🏿
@@Beautybyqueenb that’s not true Akan people are originally from the Ivory Coast and Ghana. The bonos, the Fantis, the Ashantis and the Nzemas all tribes located in Ghana and Ivory Coast
It’s a good thing DNA technology has come a long way, especially for those of us from the African diaspora. I actually wanted to know more about myself than what I was told and I took Ancestry DNA and learned that my estimated genetics are overall 98% African with only 2% European because of my maternal grandmother’s dad being a byproduct of European male slave holders and enslaved African females. It’s a good thing African Ancestry is here and I was able to trace my maternal lineage back to Mali and I’m looking forward to taking the test again to trace my paternal lineage and I found no European lineage on my father’s side of the family when I took the test from Ancestry. My Afro Bahamian paternal grandfather’s ancestors could have migrated from Haiti after being kidnapped from their African homelands.
@@Breyionna before the Berlin conference Cameroun , Gabon, Angola , etc...was including in Kongo kingdom , they separated them in the conference of Berlin that was named the Kongo conference. So that means that Kongo and Cameroun have the same DNA.
@malaikabinti1080 @malaikabinti1080 Not necessarily. Most of Cameroon and Gabon weren't a part of the Kongo Kingdom. The Bamenda Grassfields, where my maternal ancestors were from, were very isolated. Today, they're still a genetic outlier from the region, and their language is divergent from the Bantu languages. But Central Africa is the most diverse region of Africa due to migration, so they do share genetic similarities with Africans from west, north, east and southern Africa.

Why would you report on Idris Elba when he very publicly expresses the pride he has about his Sierra Leonean & Ghanaian heritage. Both his parents are African. He still fluently speaks the language and eats the food .. so he's not in need of tracing his ancestral roots because he's a second-generation African
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 .

Oho something was missing in this narrative The original term for africa is made up of Hebrew Kingdoms, like songhai empire, Mali empire, the Moors the Kemit. The Egyptian civilization. Also not to forget the historical facts of the Hebrews native americans living in America latin america before columbus and Dum Devasar. So it will be a fact to conclude that Native Hebrews americans are in there land as prisoner of war since columbus. Stop all this deception and speak the whole truth
Blacks of the diaspora should identify themselves by their ethnic/cultural group not by country. Country lines were constructed by Europeans. The African standard of allegiance is with your ethnic/cultural group.
We know the jist, America is already on its way to collapse now African is perceived to be the save haven. Anyways welcome but be warned that those things you propagate in America may not be easy like that in Afrika once again ekaabo
It would be good if they'd shown a full DNA breakdown of ethnicity. I found out yesterday that I'm.....Irish, Scottish, and Welsh 34.9% Ireland (Donegal), Northern Ireland and Scotland (Glasgow) Iberian 9.7% Baltic 3.9% AFRICA Nigerian 29.1% Sierra Leonean 9.8% Kenyan 7.8% North African 4.8%
I am 90%Nigerian and 10% benin and togo. I know a lot of my nigerian family. However i did my dna so that i can help others find theirs.i am yorubs and have a lot of US cousin links but sadly they wont engage. I will keep trying though.
If America may one's be honest with uns as Africans, what schoud be the price of all these? I just can hope that all that payed back to my continent. Be good sisters and brother wherever you. "WE SHALL OVERCOME ONE DAY' God blesse you all.
Levar Burton is a brilliant brother and very positive. He has so much to impart into Nigeria and it’s an absolute shame he wasn’t granted citizenship. I hope that decision has changed with time.

3.9 %. Igbo 3.1 %. Cameroon Bantu 2.1 %.Benin 2 %. (and some other stuff not related to finding out where my family came from.) So by looking at this, would my main tribe be considered Yorùbá & Akan people? Im still waiting for my African Ancestors DNA that pinpoints my maternal tribe, but Im so excited to get all the info?
Yes. Yuroba of Nigeria and Akan of Ghana. We all family 😊❤
Yes, Yoruba, Esan, and Igbo = Nigerian, then you have Akan from Ghana, both in West Africa!! and .... 👼🏽👌🏽❤🎉🎉
Thats so cool!! Congratz
Yeah you should visit Cameroon, Ghana and Nigeria as you most likely cake from one of those places
Those tests are for entertainment purposes only. We are Indigenous to the west
This African proverb says it all "If you don't know where you're heading to, go back to where you're coming from"
I found out I have a Congolese or Angolan ancestor, somewhere between 1690-1780. I want to find some way to embrace that heritage, because I think everyone should know and be proud of who they are! This was a great video, thank you! I've really been enjoying this channel since I discovered it.
Go there and you will feel a sensation you have never felt trust me!!
One way to know if you are Congolese, are you into fashion ?Congolese people love fashion

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.

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%.

It’s a good thing DNA technology has come a long way, especially for those of us from the African diaspora.
I actually wanted to know more about myself than what I was told and I took Ancestry DNA and learned that my estimated genetics are overall 98% African with only 2% European because of my maternal grandmother’s dad being a byproduct of European male slave holders and enslaved African females.
It’s a good thing African Ancestry is here and I was able to trace my maternal lineage back to Mali and I’m looking forward to taking the test again to trace my paternal lineage and I found no European lineage on my father’s side of the family when I took the test from Ancestry. My Afro Bahamian paternal grandfather’s ancestors could have migrated from Haiti after being kidnapped from their African homelands.

The Bamenda Grassfields, where my maternal ancestors were from, were very isolated. Today, they're still a genetic outlier from the region, and their language is divergent from the Bantu languages. But Central Africa is the most diverse region of Africa due to migration, so they do share genetic similarities with Africans from west, north, east and southern Africa.
