    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.

      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.

    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. 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.

    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%.

      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.

    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.

      @@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.

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.
