You clearly did not pick up on the fact that neither she nor any of her family behind are thrilled to know this. She's not going to say on camera, "Oh, crap." Come on, be real. Don't listen to her words, listen to her tone, and watch her face and the faces of those behind her. The are NOT happy.

Africans were Doctors, scientists,Spiritual Healers, educators and so forth before they were stolen from their land to become slaves in America . Just because you lack knowledge of Africans history doesn’t mean you can read the body language of others with skepticism or put your biases on other people just because if it were you. You would choose to be ashamed of something you don’t know much about. Africans were Kings and Queens. Educate yourself on African Kings and Queens before you boast about what others are not ashamed of.

@@trapkoala8901 it was a long story, he send his dna in before I send mine in 2 months apart. I was born and raised in Thailand for 14 years before I moved to the U.S. My dad was station in Thailand during the Viet Nam War and met my mother when she was working at the US army base in NE of Thailand. Not sure what was the main issued between them, and he left before the war is over. Make it short, almost 4 years now since we met and I surprised him with 3 grandchildren and he loved them all very much. He lives in Texas and we live in Virginia, we met about 3-4 times in person, mostly from video call. First ever email that I send to him was I asked him that if he knows my mother, he didn’t reply me with words, but send me pictures of my mother, my grandmother and some of family members that recognized them all. Then I send him another email and told him that “you know our DNA is matched as father and son”. He replied ” I know.” 😂 Yes, he was surprised 😇 and I was cry like a little kids for weeks, and couldn’t believe that God answers my prayers. ❤️❤️

Rather ironic given how many of my ancestors fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War.

@Robert W. Yeah, my ancestors stretch back to the late 1600s as well (Virginia originally). I read that most were indentured servants and at the time they were working side by side in the fields with Africans and there were no prohibitions on miscegenation until the mid 1700s. I'm also 2% Native American (97% European). I've read that the Cherokee did own African slaves as well. Could be another avenue for how it came to be in my family.

This family needs to know their ancestry because if two people with the trait marry, their children will have reduced life expectancy and low quality of life. Sickle cell not occurs in African populations, but also in North African, Italien, Greek, Jewish and Turkish populations! Yes, her ancestors probably passed, but if they came from any of these afflicted populations, they need to be careful of whom they marry. It's like marrying one's cousin or niece, you just don't do it!

All the populations that you mentioned - North African, Italian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish, all have high percentages of African blood anyway. None of them were even considered white in this country - they were called "ethnics". So they began marrying the lightest women who would have them and now some of them call themselves white. But as the saying goes, "blood will tell..."
