I recently spoke with one of my previous professors and we got on the topic of bloodlines. He appears white but he was telling me that he got his DNA types and he found out that he had black, white, indian, and some japanese blood. I read an article that he had researched and some of the results were interesting to say the least. A true white person, not just swedish has yellow to platinum hair with light green or blue eyes. A Native American eyes are in the light brown to dark brown. Blacks gray and black not brown. Thinner straighter hair is a characteristic of white. Curly to wavy, black. Thick dark hair native american. Have you ever been typed? What did you find?

To Hot Swede and Francine....wassup my sista?

I am sorry about leaving out redheads. I will check on it.

Ok, redheads are most likely to be thought of as a mixture between Swedish and Native American or Black and Swedish.

Cali, I do not wish to be anything but what I am. I am black, but I do not deny my other heritage either. I am sure than you and I probally share much of the same blood, my sista

Red Power, you are very much incorrect. NOW Native Americans do come in all shades and colors, yet historically that has not been the case. I have been to my local library, I have researched this. I also have a person who has studied this for years and is a Ph.D in his field. Also DNA is not all that new. It has been used over 25 years now. DNA has convicted and exonerated many people, paternity testing etc. So you are very much incorrect.

Red power, how can you be offended, you should not be really. I love being black and denied up until recently that there was other backgrounds within my blood line. I am light skinned with hazel eyes, so it is no telling how many colors I am mixed with, but it is ok. Because I am still black, but as far as me being a part of racist organizations and things like that, it would be a lie because what makes me me comes from more than just black.

Marauder, many slave owners were racist and they still spent thier nights in the arms of black slaves.

I think that black people are all aware of the mixing of heritages. I don't think that white people are as aware, or pretend not to be, even though some are. I saw a documentary where a white professor was astonished to find that he was 12% black (meaning one great grandparent was all black or some were mixed). He said his mother told him to keep quiet about it. And since a lot of really light skinned black people "passed" back in the day, whites have black ancestors they don't even know about.

And since we are animals, I guess white ancestors practiced bestiality on the regular, since more than one black mother gave birth to "massa's" near white offspring. The near white slaves didn't appear out of thin air. If as many people on this site have said they want slavery to be reintroduced, I think it's so they can creep back into the slave cabins and not let their friends see.

You are promoting cultural ignorance and stereotypes.

It is not true that Native Americans have light brown to dark eyes and dark hair. Native Americans have always came in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Go to your local library and look at photos of Natives from the 19th century back. You will see they are all colors. You are perpetuating a culturally inaccurate stereotype.

And DNA testing is a new science. We cannot assume they have all the kinks worked out. We cannot rule out scientific racism. It is really too new to tell...

I am a Native woman. I find your post slightly offensive.

Well, we all have "black" in our bloodlines if we go back far enough, as human life originated in Africa, as far as we know.

More recently, that would depend on how long a person's family has been in America.

BTW, you left out redheads. And green eyes.

I think that what your professor told you is an oversimplification.



My hubby's family (he's Black) has some Native American ancestry, and he's interested in having his DNA typed.

I have only recently become at all interested in having myself typed, because of a trip to Europe that has raised some questions about my own family's ethnic heritage.

Uh....it incredibly is almost the entire factor of being "American". if your loved ones has been right here for better than 3 generations, you're no longer from New England or inbred, and any of your ancestors/family participants participants fought in any of the wars over the final 2 hundred years, then you've maximum probable have been given all form's of actually some stuff swimming on your very own gene pool.

I'm not sure about 'most' but certainly many people have somewhat more mixed ancestry than they might suspect. On the other hand I suspect your professor is not speaking from scientific expertise but is treating a sociological proposition as 'true' in order to indoctrinate you with certain other beliefs.

Granted, the concept of 'pure' ancestry of any kind is largely a matter of human definition. Even European 'whites' often carry some genes from different origin, such as the Hun invaders.

True, somewhere along the line, maybe not in america but when your ancestors got displaced in Africa, Europe, etc.

Hindu, what does have to do with anything OR the question? I see now your dogging white people, and in one of your answers you stereotyped hindu's, you are one hateful kid.
Why can't you just hang out and play with other kids like a normal teenagers instead of spamming the message boards?

I have been aware of this for a long, long time. (The outside appearance of a person doesn't really tell very much about who they really are...either genetically or behaviorally.)

Whites who look so very lilly white may have brothers/sisters or cousins who are very dark complected meaning that they are not as "white" as they think.

There is no one in the U.S. who is Pure Blooded anything. Rape and sexual transgressions weren't invented last year. Neither was lying.

The point this questioner is trying to make is that there is no room for racism or stereotyping as we are all part of the whole. Humanity first. Categorizing second.

What can you say besides sexual acts leave their tracks.
There have been many trips to the wood pile to interact with more than ones own bloodline.
The proof is in the pudding.
The devil made me do it.
ETC. ETC. and on and on.
Hello Americans, welcome to the real world.
