It’s kinda annoying when non African Americans try to speak on our heritage because they saw some study that was published back in 2002 that said we were 20% European even though I have yet to meet one of us that has that much European in us. That equivalent to a full white grandparent and most of us don’t have that.

This is the same shit that happened when i posted my results on here “that’s a lot African” “you’re lying, you’re not African American,” “thats not the average amount—“ stop.

Y’all don’t know what you’re talking about. Most of us are 70-90% African.

It’s very odd because I had people in my comments fight over my dna test. Trying to invalidate my ethnic group.

Edit:

What I think I’m trying to say is, trying to challenge someone or question someone’s ethnicity because the amount is a little more than average is weird. I’m 87-88% African and the comments I got was so weird.

And it made me angry because often times we are invalidated. I was told I look very Nigerian and that’s what made me do my test and I was so proud to share it, then I had people message me in private chats and in the comments trying to invalidate me. I would try to defend myself and give an alternative perspective but I would get downvoted to hell and back. It felt like people were trying to say the knows more about my community than I did.
