Black People Get Their DNA Tested

meh.. not sure about some of their comments lol. nice of buzzfeed though.

I know i have wide ancestry and it would really be cool to take a test. I have vallon ancestors but i am also a ginger so it'll be really intense finding out where i am actually from.

"can I note that I am only 13.5% European?" Like she's proud it's so low. Mildly racist...

holy shit. six to eight weeks....

Relatively light-skinned black person: "I'm 100% African"
Me: Ummm...

How could Gru create viable genetic specimins if he is an animated fictional character?

I'm 88% African descent and Proud ☺

probiably just mid, midwest and mid eastren european.

Most of the European in their DNA is sadly because their slave ancestors were raped. I'm actually not sure how many "black" people in America are even 90% African desendant.

If you had no ancestors from West Africa, chances are your people came after the slave trade. Maybe this should be considered in discussions around reperations.

Can't americans do maths.....if your grandparent is something different 25% maximum in you ...if they are distinctly one tribe.

This is so good. A lot of people in Africa were sold by their people to slavers. It is good to see this history.

If that woman's percentage of Native American was 14% then that would should about right to me, considering that her mum believed that her own mother was mostly Native American.

Even if the woman's grandmother was 100% Native American then she would have a maximum of 25% Native American, right?

this is fucking cancerous I can't wait till the day the channel dies

what monkey family do they come from?

Since I am mixed with Black, White, and Spanish (Yes, Spanish. Not Mexican since people get it confused), I'm pretty sure I have a little bit of everything in me 😂 besides Asian I'm pretty sure lmao

wtf is wrong with European you fuckin Nazis, I bet you back in the day you won't say that, but now that it's "COOL" you wish you werent. Let me go on YouTube and say I wish to God I wasn't black, I wonder the reaction on the internet it would get. Nobody can help/change the skincolor/race they were born with, so to talk down or punish someone for it is the worst side of humanity...

all i know for sure is that i'm asian , indian , great britain , and african american

The music when they were reading the results I've heard in a porn before in the intro

dont worry peeps.

ya all are niggers

lmfao

slaves

I hate that 23 and me does not break down the African by country 🤔🤔🤔

I'm Ghanaian and I highly doubt I have any Eauropean blood - I'm very dark skinned and I have 4c hair. But I want to take this test because I'm praying to God in have like 10% Egyptian because I oral tradition has it that my ancestors were originally there before moving to the great Kingdom of Ghana, and then eventually south to the good coast

I don't understand why it's so surprising that they are part white and act like it's a bad thing and it's hilarious how they turned this into a white guilt thing

Desperately want to do this but too afraid of what they might do with my DNA

"A lot of african people were mostly brought from west africa..." - cut to the massai in tansania probably... >_>

A hate when a person tells me everybody has "white" in them? First off, "white" isnt a race. Second off, how you gone tell me what my family was ??

First generation Trinidadian-American right hear.

funny how everyone of the people speak only about their blackness, after beeing told, that they have quite huge parts of their DNA in native american and european parts.....like there are latinos with less native american DNA......being black is maybe their key looks for some idiots, but i dislike this ignorance to these other huge parts of their DNA equal bad as americans ignoring afroamerican history.

I wanna do one but watch my dominant genetics be black , European,and Native American ,and Asian if I even have 1 drop of middle eastern imma be shook

You guys are 100% Niggers.

Why didn't they show the European breakdown for the ones that had it???

Hey guys, i made my first video about the non sense of french language

Is she mad she was 71% black ? Y'all island niggas need to get real and realize slavery was way more widespread in central/South America and the carribean and West Indies in fact fewer slaves went to British colonies in what is modern day USA so yes y'all got a lot of "black" blood

I want to take this test just to see the multitude of different nationalities that show up 😂

I wanna do this test

some black people can be possibly white because a white person plus black

black people be saying white boy all the time when there part eroupian.

Maybe if you focused on your future and present instead of your past the balck American Culture wouldn't be shit. Just say'n

But why does buzzfeed never truly try on indigenous people?

Proud of that African ancestry? So you mean genital mutilation and dancing around in basically nothing with wooden discs in your lips shouting OOGA BOOGA?

Very elegant and amazing culture you have there

Why am I watching this I am european and middle eastern

I honestly wish that the dna test would have broken down a little more. It didn't seem very detailed.

My ancestors are documented Abinacki Indian: and supposedly heavy on Canadian French on both sides. Our family test came back showing none of that. Why? We think because many Native American/Canadian Indians don't have such tests done because they actively trace their ancestries back through various tribes. These DNA test results are based on previous results of other people in the database. The more people are tested the border the DNA database. Biggest surprise we are 50%. Irish, we knew that, but it makes my mother100% Irish.

I got my DNA tested. I'm mexican but I found out im spanish, irish, german, african, asian, and more. The most I got was 66% italian.

"Thomas Mothaf****n' Jefferson!"

we have a 4th knee cousin and we are good friends, anyway she is from balcan all of our family and she got married and had a baby with a guy who has like a long line of balcans and they had a baby. they are both white and the baby was born black. needless to say he tought it wasn't his kid. after like a bunch of test and finding these dna tests they found out that one of ger great great great great grandparents married a black girl and the gene just skipped a lot of generations.

They must be blind to not have seen how not black they are

The thing is its just DNA, it can't tell you whether your mixing is forced or not.
Its kinda like finding a raisin in a jelly donut and thinking some evil bastard put that there deliberately...

Nothing wrong with being a bit European

Not ONE person on this earth is pure of one race!
racism is a fiction.

Leidy had a big head

I really want to take this test but I'm pretty sure I'll be 100% west African. My family ain't been nowhere 😂😂

Your mum is wrong because as generations go down if a certain dna is not always present in both parents its easy to decrease till it becomes just a trace region,

wouldnt want to be too white now

Moral of the story... some time or another we mixed with another culture and mix our genes.
There is no such thing as a pure race of people. Only a twisted mindset to hate one another. Colour is only skin deep. Embrace your heritage but it's not what makes you. Values, family and being a good person is what defines you. :)

I did this and it is soooo cool

They should do this but with biracial people

that one guy's dad sounds so sweet!

I'm 98% european
);

Really, if you go far enough back, everyone is a little bit black since our earliest ancestors came from Africa. :)

Bullish**!

For what god forsaken reason do they need your name.

Absolute bullshit!!!, Black People, my beloved people, please stop falling for this silly shit. Shhh... I've got a secret...YOUR BLACK!!! These test are completely bogus, but let's pretend they're real...YOUR STILL BLACK!!! What is wrong with my people man!!!??? By the way have you heard of gene stealing/ harvesting? Ever heard of splicing, grafting or cloning? Well You might wanna look into that, and while your at that, research Henrietta Lacks. Black People, you have a secret gift that other's desire, but shhh. It is too much information available to be falling for this dumb stuff.

Caity might not be a descendant of slaves if her family lived in 1840s Trinidad. From 1833 Slavery was abolished there.

*SPOILER ALERT* They're all black with African ancestors! Who would have thought....

If you're AfroLatino then yeah you'll have higher european blood lmao because you know Spaniards

Their obvious disgust at be anything but african, what i really mean is having a 'white' heritage is very typically and sadly American cultural racism. Im glad im British.

Do a DNA test with 6 people and don't tell them what the results are and make them guess who's everyone's is correctly

23andme along with many other DNA testing companies have a 10% margin of error. So don't take it too seriously.
Also you can actually get more DNA from one parent than the other.

Oprah took a DNA test and found out she was more than half white. Then she ignored that part and focused on the 22% of her DNA that was from some obscure West African tribe.

People realizing they are actually mulatto instead of black.

Title should be "Black people find out how African they are." Because "black" means "American with at least 1/16 African blood"

Why were they so afraid to be part European?

this brought me to tears. I'm not sure why 100% but this was a powerful experience for me to watch these people talk about how history effected their bloodline.

37 seconds in BARBADOS FOR THE WIN! (I'm half)

wait why does she keep saying gshe Latino black she didn't say any results were there but black and European

I would like to take this time to reiterate the oldest human DNA group L whole initially found in sub-Saharan Africa and potentially native, spans north Africa, Asia the Pacific Islands and the Americas. Further our species is a cosmopolitan blend of 3-5 hominid species that interbred over 1,000,000 years after splitting from the great apes 1.5 million years ago and gave rise to anatomically mordern humans within the past 400-500,000 years and after which only began to act behaviorally modern 20-30,000 years ago, That is unless that city of cuba in the ocean is real, then all bets are off. Racists suck, humans are all the same.

Results: Ape

Culture isn't genetics.

Hahaha buzzfeed is absolute garbage

I'll make it simple: you look black, then you black!

im black and im 13% russian 40% native American 4% and 43%

my great great great grandfather was a slave and that's why my last name is English sometimes I get ask if I'm really black but inleast my last name is easy to pronounce 😄 but people who are black with an English last name y'all from west Africa

pretending like it matters who you family was before they left africa*

i bet the 1k dislikes are racist

Im 100% African lok

My parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc etc all cane from the same place. Mozimbique or Zimbabwe

Im from Trinidad

No point in doing this test. I am 102% African. Maybe there is some intertribal breeding, but I am nothing but black.

I'm biracial and my mother was adopted so like it'll be hella interesting to see my ancestry but the test is $100...

I wanna do this sm cause I'm Hispanic and I'm pretty sure my dads side is all Venezuelan and then maybe Spain but my moms is more complicated she Colombian but her grandpa is from Palestine so idk

I'm about to do a My Heritage DNA test. Just found last night that one of my maternal great grandfathers died the year I was born in 1992. Meanwhile, I'll have to figure out a way to tell my future children that their grandmother was black. I'll have to tell my husband about his mother in law I just don't know how to break the news. P.S. I declare my mother to be dead since her mental illness.

I don't think people really understand DNA because everyone has different DNA even if it's your brother or sister if we all has the same exact DNA we would all look exactly the same

I wanna do it but mines probably going to come up as 100% Indian so im not wasting my $100😂

woah, from Africa, thats so weird

Take AP US History. It's amazing, and so eye opening. Worth the extra work
