Us Mexicans got it bad lol our elders did not care about recorded documentation. I’m just finding out that some of my ancestors would change their surname because they had a fall out with their parents.
I’ve thought of this before! I have been trying for a long time to build a family tree but I’ve been unsuccessful..
Europeans gave the indigenous people their surnames when converted to Christian or owned slaves, so it's not accurate to trace back anyway....
more slaves where sold and dropped off in the west indies, Caribbean and South America. Only about 6 percent of African slaves were sent directly to North America. it's just that America had breeding farm as they called them they forced and beat the strongest slaves man and woman to have sex so they maid more babies
@@ectorvalle4059 exactly, some ignorant people even get the “family’s crest” escudo Español, haha really funny.
@@ectorvalle4059 nope spaniard soldiers came and slept with multiple native ladies with big asses. They couldnt resist.
I Love when your mom says Africa and she smiles...Awesome!!!
Why?
DetroitScorpio 313 same lol
lilmrscutsie not neccisarily. The white in my family is but when we got a lot of Native American in us we traced it back ourself, but it only that, seems like you need to do some research
Que comentario tan estúpido!...
eglc100 who's is ?
Hello!! your brother mentioned that your grandfather spoke Otomi and wanted to know a little more about that. There is a place in Mexico in the state of Queretato a town called Puerto Blanco. Everyone there speaks Otomi. Most people don't even speak castellano very well. The women there actually still dress with their native clothing. I know this because I was there in 2005. it is a very cold place, it looks like dessert and people there eat tons and tons of nopales. they are cooked all kinds of delicious ways. I hope this helps a little. 😊
Yiyi Live Queretaro*
Yiyi Live you beat me to it yup you're so right. I used to live in Queretaro I love the way these ppl live.
Tlaxcaltecas spoke Otomí, the aztec's enemy, these guys are not descendants from aztecs, it is really sad that they are so ignorants from their own culture.
Nopales?
Luis Valdez Cactus, I believe
I am Mexican American and I have 5.4% African Ancestry:
*Congolese-2.2%
*Sub-Saharan-1.4%
*Senegambian & Guinean-0.6%
*Broadly West African-0.6%
*Broadly Congolese & Southern East African-0.4%
*Broadly Northern East African-0.2%
and proud of it 💜
yes..very west African .be proud .hey,,. i live in MEXICO..que onda..??
Wow! Saron sampaio, your DNA,
Is very interesting.
Hahaha
What's the rest just curious
You’re not black.. there’s white redneck people with more African than you..
I’m Mexican too and just got my results. 39%iberian 31%indigineous 11%middle eastern %5 Irish and the remaining 14% being Scandinavian , Jewish, Eastern European, southeast African , Polynesian and central Asian. It’s so cool to see where your ancestors come from.
Exactly! It's great to also know that you can connect with people on a microscopic level :)
I'm thinking that middle eastern might have been from Spain conquered by the moors
The Polynesian are the same group the Hawaii, Mongolia Siberia and China the came the America’s through a land that connect Alaska. They are our natives. Look the people is Asia and you can see the similarities. Google and the strait between Alaska and Mongolia. I am 74 and I know history when I was a child.
South east African is a very rare result as that was not a region of Africa that saw slaving. It means that you most likely did not pick up that ancestor through trans Atlantic slavery. with the combination of middle eastern You may be descended from an actual black Moor. As the south east of Africa was on the Arab slave routes. Your ancestors conquered Spain
You’re a real Heinz 57!
thank you for sharing your results, your African percentage is pretty normal for Mexicans as Mexico tended to absorb blacks via mixing, since it was one of the largest ports for slavery (Veracruz )etc, but if you look at Puerto Ricans and Dominicans they tend to have larger percentages of African than Mexicans but the Native American is pretty high in most Mexicans like you said , congrats again
+AngryBeaver 661 Your criminal record?
Synnerization oh my god Donald Trump trolls, he's everywhere, keyboard racist gonna love em

Couldn't resist the set up.
+Synnerization
he has the right to celebrate and embrace what ever part of his diversity he wishes. lots of people have died so he could make that joke including one of my own uncles in wartime. Seems like wartime in Dakota right now with the black snake winding its way to our water supply.....
Didn't Mexico have a black president???
Duh, guys Spain was ruled by the moors and in some way or another we all come from the first dark skinned people in Africa.
Well ancient humans looked more like standing apes (we had hair everywhere) but yes we all come from there if what science says is true.
Morrocco is not Arabic, it's North West African.
No Morocco is originally indigenous to Carthage and Berber Nomadic peoples, and Mauratania(from 800bc.) They were invaded and colonized by the Moors/Arabic (hence their name Moracco) from the 8th-11th century. It goes back and forth between the Berber and Islamic Dynasties till the European Colonization (France /Spain) in 1830 which explains the lingo franco being french in a mostly islamic country.
Arabic refers to someone from Arabia... people confuse the religion of Islam for a nationality
no las raices de la gente de marruecos vienene directa de Saudi Arabia .. la religion es diferente .. islam ud dice es diferente ok. gracias
@@JayBelafonte Yep, like they say Jewish is a race when it is a religion
@@sableindian Anyone can convert to Judaism but people can also be genetically Jewish.
I'm Polynesian, Samoan to be exact and looking at your thumbnail I thought you guys were Polynesian lol I was also often mistaken for Mexican last time I was in the U.S. lol further proof that we are more alike than we are different ☺
avilik13 lol that happens to me all the time. i'm mexican and when i speak spanish people get surprised and when i ask why they tell me that they thought i was samoan or hawaiian
Adrian Salas haha yeah you can definitely pass for a cousin lol
avilik13 True.When my brother went to Hawaii the locals (locos) thought he was Hawaiian.
avilik13 there's this Samoan kid I know, everyone thinks he's half black
halfchubProductions I stayed in the Bay area last year (I'm from Australia) and yep heaps of Polys lol
why are you surprised about the African 1out of every 4 Latinos has African ancestry
lachandra1 the majority of hispanics dont like africans
lachandra1 Not all but the majority.Mexican are more racist then Whites.They treat you bad.We all should treat everyone fair.
We are all one big family. When's dinner?
Sounds like a plan! 😉
❤️ Yeah, I love that. Maybe we need to establish a week long international family reunion celebration because we’re all one big family.
We're all not just 1 nationality just because of our skin color. We're all connected yet we fight so much about racism??
I always think, out of all the planets out there were he lucky one to have been able to develop life but we waste it by fighting with each other. Lol one day!
We no, we fight about economics. The elite white power structure perpetuates racism and then we, the masses confuse it with our own common needs and called it racism.
Alot teaching and UN teaching to be done!
Soooo.... you didn't know about the slave trade in Mexico and the 2nd president of Mexico was of African descent and freed the slaves? BooYah! Great heritage, Mijo
Jiji Solomon The second president WAS NOT AFRICAN ! He was Mestizo and predominantly Native American. You are regurgitating Afrocentric hogwash! He was accused of Indionismo, fighting for the Native American, and was executed for it! No need for revisionist history!
The Legacy of Vicente Guerrero, Mexico's First Black Indian President published Dec 18, 2001, the late by Theodore G. Vincent
"Guerrero was born inTixtla, a town 100 kilometers inland from the port of Acapulco, in the Sierra Madre del Sur; his parents were María de Guadalupe Saldaña, of African descent and Pedro Guerrero, a Mestizo. Guerrero was tall and robust, and dark complected, and he was at times called El Negro."
You can also read La Población Negra de México by the late anthropologist and professor at the University of Vera Cruz in Mexico. BTW, I did not say he was African. Here is my quote, "the 2nd president of Mexico was of African descent". So, if you are using Mestizo as racially mixed, then, you are correct, "he was Mestizo and predominantly Native American" Being of African descent means that he also was descended from Africans as well as Europeans and Native Americans. We have people like this here in the United States. They are called Melungeon. President Abraham Lincoln was Melungeon. Somehow you saw the word "African" and took the word out of context. I don't even disagree with you. I just reiterate my stance.
vutube379 wats a mestizo?
Mrz. Star B A Mestizo is a person who is half European and half Native American by Mexico's caste system definition which would have still been used during Guerrero's lifetime; hence, if he was considered black by his apoearance and ancestry, he would have been desribed differentl and no where is he referred to as anything else but Mestizo.

Otomi are not aztec or even related, they are an ethnic group from central mexico. Very ancient culture, lots of history.
We are all mixed....so no one should be racist !!!
Yes but unfortunately there are some people who can’t accept the truth... ☹️
Yep sure!
A lot of people are not mixed
Take a dna test
I'm 10 percent Chinese...10 percent native American...50 percent German...the rest English Irish
One of southern Mexico's greatest hero was a African named gaspar yanga .
The amount of ignorance in these comments is baffling...
^^same, I'm tempted to do a "reading hate comments" video but not really wanting to give negative people a bigger voice :)
Killer Queen so ignorant I can’t listen to the pair of idiots
Because it comes as a shock to many.
@@mdmflor4574 yep, they'll learn though. their history is just as manipulated as other people's.
@@HisKitch The negative comments is full of people projecting lol
The guy on the right (doing the most talking) looks more Polynesian than anything else

hear fan beacuse native american is a mongolic race that why you think that
Spain wasnt inhabited for just some point by North Africans, they were ruled by north african moors for 700 years lol... I wish you guys translated your mother's comments.
Mother is saying that her grandfather always said hid family came from Europe entering Mx through Veracruz and that would explain why some family members are blond and some with color eyes. Earlier she mentions her grandmother would say they were from s native Mx tribe called the Otomi and that even one of her grandparents spoke the Otomi language.
+Tomorrow Today before the Islamic invasion, Spain was not part of Morocco.
+Gonzalo Saldana thanks for translating that.
Tyline Burgess so true!!!✨✨yes my last name is Moore I always wanted to do this test, my family is Native Am, German, Panama, but the African side idk...
Actually it was 800years and The Moors were Senegalese and North African... basically black african muslims that ruled Spain and Portugal (because they used to be the same country)
If you *google the word 'Blackamoor'* (which was the European name for a Moorish person ...which literally meant *'Black as a Moor'* you'll see how the Moors really looked)
There has been an attempt hide and whiten this history by European Historians because of the existence of Racism white supremacist patriarchy.
Well latinos are a mix of all races. Some more then others essentially latinos are a cultural group. So from country to country the results can vary a whole lot. There are still afro mexicans to this day in Mexico so its really not suprising.
Naddy Francis Truth!
Naddy Francis right!
finally someone with an intelleigent reply
I really watch these types of videos only to see people's reaction when they find out he yard African haha
😁
Because everyone - yourself included - hates having black blood but when you do you have to pretend it's a good thing and when you see others pretend it's a good thing you get upset because you think they are fake, but when they say it's a bad thing you also get upset because they're just like you. Did I get that right? ;-)
Mazzie Stone YAAASS SAME
Well let's be technical the first people were African and that's a fact even Jesus was black skin like copper hair like wool if he were white the Bible would've described him as skin like olive and silky straight hair so yes black is beautiful and we all come from a descendent of black rather you like it or not
Choozyn Marshay Jesus doesn't have black skin and curly/kinky hair -.-

Speaking all the truths! Thanks for watching!
I wish more people were like you all. Really nice people sharing their cultural heritage. Your Mom is really sweet.
Sorry..but most moroccan are not Arab. They're actually Berber.
In Mexico til today people of our Government have cover up the lost African Mexicans tribes, I have a friend from Guadalajara she is comes from one of those....our Spanier father brought slaves from Africa, guys you dont need to go to Africa you will find the Mexican-African tribe you belong to in Mexico
Angelous 777 The consciences is happening with the Raza!!! 👈
It's just so sad to see how a lot of people from Mexico and also South America never seem to know the African history.
Thelondonbadger they who?
ThallonRose
Most of the identity of hispanic poeple have been destroyed. Look at our names, our lenguage. It all comes. We are all products of slavery abd oppression.
Thelondonbadger I think the history of the world and all its cultures is fascinating. No one should be "ashamed" of their heritage but, I get your point.
They don't want to know they have African in the family line
I'd love to find out if I have African ancestry. It would be cool if I do.
mexicans tend to forget the afro mexican that fought in the revolutionary war
@@SMWLM what?
Mexico had African slaves. I like that this man knows of his African ancestry I just wish more Mexicans took pride in their African too.
icecreambeats101 most Mexicans don’t even know they have african blood in them...
@@icecreambeats101
I don't know the percentage, but many, many whites also have traces of sub Saharan African dna, Asians too, and so on. We are Africans!...happy now?
Many Mexicans like myself have 1-3% African dna, I will always be Mexican, why mention 1%. I have 46% Iberian dna, and no I'm not claiming white. 😂😂😂. 32% NA, I don't claim I'm Native American, why I should I claim African?..because it would make you feel good?...SMFH.
Stevo Devo I have African in me too. I’m from Brazil but raised in Haiti. All I’m saying is I’m tired of certain Mexicans act so surprised about their history.
Latinos are always shocked that they have a little bit of African ancestry. I don't see why though....newsflash Africa is diverse filled with every hair texture, skin tone, and facial features.
I have a theory that the Latino look around the Mediterranean is a mixture of Phoenicians' blood with that of Semites and Ionians.
black mamba civilisation started Africa so bound to find some African in every body
Errol Collins truth!!! I just love the diversity of everyone on this planet. Mother Earth man!!!!
+black mamba oh and also, depending if you believe in evolution, then it's a fact we all started in Africa.
black mamba They shouldn't be. it is what it is.
It's not uncommon for Latinos to have North African because North Africans were in Spain for centuries prior to Spain colonizing Latin America.
Yup the moors
LADINOES.
I guess people dont know that DNA started in the "Region of Africa/ Mediterranean".
Kathleen Gaines No. Actually it originated in the region currently known as Namibia.
No for everybody, many have Neanderthalis blood who came from EUROASIA
sol de verano Yea mostly whites
Futureworld X Namibia is in Africa.
The reason for the North African ancestry is the Spanish ancestry. Centuries ago Moors from North Africa conquered Spain and had significant impact on shaping Spanish culture - especially the Spanish language which has many Arabic and Arabic derived words, like "el" which comes from the Arabic "Al". So the North African ancestry basically hitched a ride through the Spanish ancestry because many or most Spaniards have some North African ancestry due to the Moors conquering them for some time before Spain came to the New World.
And Mexicans have west African ancestry because the spanish imported millions of slaves into Mexico, during the slave trade. Most of them men
@Vincent, Ash I think a good amount of people just don't know history , culture/ people well!!!
Awesome! Thanks everyone for the love and discussions in the comment section. I plan to have my mom and paternal uncle do the DNA test, will be interesting to see what comes up :)

I'll be waiting to see your mum and uncle's results

Muchas gracias! Yes, she is very traditional but she's also very wise. Much love -Richie
History Kitchen how long did it take for you to receive your DNA results? I recently took the ancestry DNA test
I think it only took about 4 weeks, so about a month after I sent it in.
North African Moors occupied Spain for a time. You can see their influence in certain architecture.

Native Americans are originally from Asia . Thus the Asian genes.
You're insane!!!.
And what are Asians originated from is Africa❤️
@fanatik9590It's proven lol.
@@alexusbrookeYes but even in that theory they came it separate migrations. In other words they're not related to "Black" people. Native Americans on the other hand are directly related to Asians, they share DNA, Dental and skeleton records unlike Asian and Black.
@@JimmyGarcia-hh2ogThe truth cannot be insane, that actually makes you insane.
I'm married to a Mexican. He has philipino & Aztec ancestors. He's so gorgeous too!! Speaks broken English. I've got a hot Mexican!
All this could be avoided if we was taught True History. There would also be less racism and more respect for all races.
Trinahappy I agree with you if the whole planet was doing a DNA test and well I think that many people would stop disrespecting some culture
The thing your getting wrong is there is ONLY ONE RACE THE HUMAN RACE Just many different nationalities
It's not racism it culturalism some people don't like certain cultures and that is fine
Otomi is a tribe from mesoamerica native to the area known as el Bajio, or the central plateau in Mexixo. it includes the areas of Quereraro and Guanajuato. They were mostly nomads at the time of the nahua (aztec), and considered Wildings by the aztecs who never really conquered them. The aztecs called them and other nomad trubes, chichimecas.
U guys seem so cool! Love that your blood line is so universal and it's refreshing to see guys who are so chill and embracing who u are as human beings! I love people and see hearts rather than skin-color and your family seem to be the same. Beautiful DNA reveal 😊. Many love from Jamaica 🇯🇲

Because most of them are Native American lol
lola Von Vegan I'm proud to be Salvadorean! Mayan & Pipil! 😀
true they always claiming their ancestor came from spain bwahahahaha when they obviously look very native
Methamor actually we never claim our Spanish ancestors
Methamor My grandmother was a black Honduran. I've never really known her. but her side of the family would never claim their rapists. anyone who does, hates themselves and their native side.
there are black mexicans in Mexico idk why ppl act so shocked
Many don't want to acknowledge them as Mexican.
Each person within a family have different percentages of ethnicities and can also have percentages of other ethnicities that other family memebers might not have at all. It just means you got more DNA from one side of the family or the other.
Idk why Hispanics get confused when they have black in them. Like all of us have some in us. Some of y’all need to hit a book.
Cool, I like books. Which one do you recommend? 📚

Africans where enslaved in North, Central and South America. So of course its possible for Mexican to have African DNA...
Research the Olmec culture in early Central America. Their statuary has black features.
Some Africans visited the American continent centuries before slavery occurred. some foods were even verified to be brought by them to the continent like corn, plantain and many other tropical foods and fruits
@@josephwilliammarek9566Archeologist already debunked this harmful theory. Big lips, wide noses, dark skin isn’t exclusive to Africans. 🙄 Stop with the indigenous erasure.
@@Metztli0es la verdad. Estos afros son peores que los indigenistas.
Alot of Africans were also sent to Mexico during the slave trade so yeah
The African Moors conquered Spain for over 800 years. Africans also went to Mexico and many countries. You can see their faces in a lot of art work.

Dominique Kerchhoff sounds beautiful
I would like to someday.
Its so embarrassing how people make a big deal about being from Africa when that is a place people should almost feel guaranteed to be from. This is why I have no trust in the educational system
Love it!!! I'm African American and my indicators were 85% African, 12% European and 3% Asian. My African indicators showed 50.4% Nigerian :) 23% West African, and 7% Kenyan. Like you guys, my European indicators showed that I'm 5% Scandinavian and 5% Iberian. There was also 2% from the Balts. I had no idea about my Asian heritage. Interestingly I'm of Uzbekistan and Nepali descent. I'm very pleased with my results but I'm mostly pleased with finally knowing of my African heritage. Just goes to show that we're all connected in some way. Thanks for sharing your heritage. :)
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing. I read some of the comments below and was shaking my head all the way through. So many miserable and toxic people. Glad you're able to ignore the trolls.
just cause thats your brother and mom doesnt mean youll have the same genetic percentage.
I find it odd that they can pinpoint European countries or regions, but when it comes to "native american" ancestry, they lump north America, South America and Central America all together. Surely there has to be some markers that indicate Aztec, Mayan or the numerous indigenous people of South America.
I think it’s probably more mixed and integrated. The reason why I say this is because of how diverse the continent is. (Languages spoken, features, etc.) however they have updated their data and gives some specifics about some American regions. Unfortunately I don’t think they’ll be able to give details about tribes.
See when the mark india the mark it as south asian... India itself has many races....
They may have significantly less contributions from those areas which prevents them from getting more accurate results. It'll likely also be very hard to be confident that the contributions they do get represent anything "pure" (you'd have to trace your ancestry back to be certain which isn't likely to happen in those areas).
Not odd at all, it just proves that all native Americans were nomadic from an original group (originally East Asian).
@@djpoolservice Maybe some were nomadic, but no more than the Europeans. The Aztecs looked very different from the Mayans. The Alaskan Tribes did not migrate to South America on a regular basis. I think they just have not done much research into the indigenous people of the Americas.
majority of the people of mexico are usually mix or full ingenious not a huge surprise
jrjrjrjrjrjrjrjrj530 yeah like 30,000 people are fully Indigenous your stupid
Please note that the Aztec tribe was not very large. There are many other tribes throughout Mexico (for example Otomi, from the state of Queretaro). My family is from Veracruz and our tribe would be Totonac.
I did the 23 and me and got 27% nativa and then did Somos and the largest percentage was 11% Otomi and 0% aztec which was interesting.
I can tell y'all gon be mostly Native American
I was right :)
Please read" They Came Before Columbus" by Ivan Van Sertima. People keep referring to slaves in the comments, as if that was the only way that Africans came to Central and South America...
Tammie F. Taylor
Teach?
Sertima's research isn't taken seriously by anthropologists. He's essentially an Afrocentrist who claims that all the major cultures around the world were founded by Black Africans despite the lack of any credible evidence.
Californio - That's what they all say about Black scholars, even when they are not marxists. They said the same things about J.A. Rodgers back in the 1920's in the USA. But of course in Europe (excluding England and colonies) and the rest of the world he received several high honors for his work, which is all the more relevant today, because a lot of his proof was destroyed or replaced by Nazi SS racial investigative groups set up by Himmler. Anthropology origins are rooted in bias, always has had links to Eugenics, the USA inspired the Nazi "racial hygiene" movement, in fact. Invoking Anthropology is far from making an impartial argument. It's like comparing a sporting fencing match to an dark alley fight with broken bottles and brass knuckles...
It is, Van Sertima was mistaken. No proof of African presence before Columbus.
Hank West - Afrocentrists and Eurocentrists are two sides of the same coin-- both are trying to to diminish and take credit for the achievements of other people in order to serve their own agendas. There are some people who would even rather credit extraterrestrials for the achievements of mesoamericans before crediting the actual Indigenous people responsible for them.
Really works my nerve when Hispanic's are shocked their African!!!

Cool thing about Hispanic ppl is we're all mixed
Laura Alvarez Hispanic? We are Indigenous (Native American) read about your people. Sadly most of the European blood we carry is rape blood, the little African blood we carry is from slaves brought into the Americas by the Europeans.
Iscali Echeri yeah I'm sure most people know that's how we have European blood it's horrible but I'm just saying that I think it's cool how Hispanic people r the most mixed group of people having many different ethnicities in our DNA
Ek _Coupe I'm Indigenous and nothing all thank you very much.
Ek _Coupe *nothing else
I am Indigenous to the Americas that is what we use for now or First Nations, Native American.
Aztec was the name of just one tribe out of many who shared the same language and religion. After the Aztecs established dominance over the others, the population of the empire were called "Mexica". Besides, there were many other ethnicities that still exist today, zapotecos, mixtecos, purépecha, mayas, etc. So, it's really inaccurate to say you descend from the Aztecs.
I'm interested in doing this to confirm what I already know a about my family ancestry, im also Mexican. Like you I'm mixed "mestizo" based on what i know my mom's side is Mexica "Aztec" specifically from a tribe called the Tecuanipa who worshiped the volcano popocateptl / French-Spandiard indentured servants, My dad's side is more documented, they are also Mexica/ Ibererian-arab/ jew, part of my family from what I know migrated from what is now palestine/Israel into Spain and later into the Americas where they mixed with the local Natives.
Being part African isnt a bad thing. People shame their ancestors with the sheer disgusts. Africa is a very beautiful continent and have some of the nicest people I have met.
I agree
Mama? You have a beautiful family! Nice boys and mom!
Our Little Homestead! We was in caves in shiet.
Why is it that the African part is always the shock??? Just curious...
Virgina Andre it’s probably because being Mexican we’re never really taught about the African presence in Mexico. It’s sadly just pretended as if it doesn’t exist. and as far as many Mexicans know, they have zero African ancestry even a lot of do.
A lot of Mexicans have features that hint towards possibly being Afro-Latinx but a lot of them refuse to make that connection as there is a lot of pride for being Mexican and also even a lot of racism towards other races. So finding out you’re African as a person who’s always been content with just being Mexican can always be a bit of a shock.
Most Mexicans have straight hair and a tannish complexion but my mother has 3C curly hair and a lot of her family have very very dark akin, but even so, she refuses to believe she might have African lineage.
@@karlazafra2201 Its funny how Mexicans claim brown pride and rag on White folks when Mexican abandoned their native Aztec/Mexitec language,religion and culture for the White European language of Spanish, Mexicans call themselves Latino even though Latin people are white europeans(French,Portuguise,Romanian,Italian(Real Latins) and spanish etc).
Mexicans make fun of Asians even though 40% of Mexicans have Asian eyes, and half of Mexico has native DNA aka Asian DNA.....lmao
karla zafra a. That’s is not how genetics work. The people of Papua New Guinea look African but they haven’t been in Africa for the last 50k years
476 Anno Domini Genetics work based on dominant and recessive traits being carried down through generations. Just because they haven’t been in a place for a while, doesn’t mean they can’t carry those traits. People with Japanese heritage in Mexico make up 2% of the population (maybe even 6% now), and even so, a grand majority of people in Mexico have those familiar and distinctive Asian features like fine straight hair, mono-lids and much more. Mexico is a melting pot itself, and though many of the different ethnicities that make up the population in Mexico haven’t recently been present, they can still be VISIBLY present in the faces of the people of today - thanks to genetics.
Be proud that you are African because we are all African! Labels were made to separate people. All 3 of your reactions of being African didn't show that you were proud. Migration gave you the features that you have. The mother of all human kind (hue -man/hue meaning colored/ colored man) was African!
Thanks for watching!
RV Travelee you are hundred percent❤ correct
land Keep sleeping. I'm impressed you can look up a word in the dictionary. Use your own mind and break the words up...use the root words...wise man!!!
Here is one that describes you I found in the dictionary.
ig·no·rant
ˈiɡnərənt/Submit
adjective
lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.
"he was told constantly that he was ignorant and stupid" 😂😂😂
RV- hard to believe a person can be so willfully moronic. Human is a very basic latin word. It has no connection with 'hue' color. Just because you want it to and make it up to fit your agenda, or see it on some whack website does not make it so.
land I've read your other comments on people who replied to this video also and you gave them the same negative reaction with name calling. I know it hurts you when people express the truth about humanity(Africans being the original human). You are very ignorant. You need to do your own research! Sorry but American History told you lies!!!
I don't do my research on the Internet aka the world wide web. Go to a library and get more than three books and read on that subject from reliable sources. You can also go to a few museums. If you received a degree from college (which I can't believe) you only received a degree of information. You need knowledge and wisdom will come but for you it may take a lifetime or a few!
Even if Spain was never inhabited by Africans, do your ealize how close Spain is to the HUGE continent of Africa? Also, Northern Africa was not always "arabic" looking. And the Aztecs original ancestors were the Olmecs. Look up Olmec statues. The pyramids in Mexico are very similar to African pyramids. Olmecs were Africans. Africans traveled the world as discoverers and respected the land. Europeans travelled as conquerors and little respect for the land unless it made them wealthy monetarily. It's not difficult to understand why you are African... but what is difficult is that so many people do not know that all human race came out of Africa.
Kimberly Kimbrough you're right. They were light skinned berbers. Even genetically there is a difference between subsaharan African and berbers. Genetic maps show that original north Africans were similar to phonecian and Greek immigrants. I know history probably means nothing to you, but, dont erase people's identities because you cant understand geography and lump all of Africa as one group of people.
I wasn't speaking of color of skin...that's the point of this DNA test...it's not about color but about your blood and the history of humankind...African doesn't equal COLOR to me considering that everyone came out of Africa...Light skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes also came out of Africa.
Kimberly Kimbrough what I find difficult is who is giving a free pass for Jews to try and claim that EVERONE has Ashkenazi Jewish (which simply means a bi racial person of middle eastern and european ancestry) in them?! I mean, how does being a race suddenly constitute one to bring of Jewish religion? This pisses me off, especially knowing from experience that Jews are FAR more racist than any WASP! Almost as if they're begging for the holocaust to revisit them.
Ok you had me until you said Omecs were African! Please stop this it is very insensitive to the Native populations of Mexico to continue on with this illusion based on Asian features of Natives on black stone statues. Of course it is going to appear black. Many Asians look black when dark. If you ever go to the regions of Mexico where there are still similar tribes in the area they have large lips, wide noses and cinnamon colored skin. But you would never mistake them for black :DD . There was no mythological migration that happened, the DNA or anthropology just doesn't show this in any way... Please just stop it's just insensitive and is frankly cultural appropriation based on ZERO evidence besides an ancient black colored stone statue . SMH
The Aztecs are descendant of Africans?
No sweety...
suggestion have your mother do the test and if you have a paternal uncle ask him also
Actually, that's a great idea! Thank you.
The Moors of North Africa conquered the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). No surprise there. South African (very wide range) is probably Angolan, because Angola was a Portuguese colony and hit hard by the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Many were brought to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America.
Derrick Adams Indeed.
Derrick Adams the moors never made it into Basque Country! That’s why we are white.
LOl they did not look happy when they found they had African blood in their vines haha do not worry about half of Mexico has African blood in the vines
levi jones 🤣🤣
+sanic ~exactly cuz White is the world standard of beauty, most everyone wants to be white like me😈!

@@esotericgoddess2652 leave me alone and my Florida education
Sorry Levi but this is simple elementary spelling.
Many Jews were in Spain before the Inquisition when they were either put to death or made to leave. They traveled to many places around the world including mountains of Italy. Many Mexicans have Jewish ancestry and are unaware of it.
We the Jews from the 12 Tribes of Israel.
Basically. Your grand grandfather was an Arabian Andalusian who was either deported or had to flee Spain Andalusia after it returned into the Spanish rule. Then he married a Native American woman. Their kids married Natives too till most of your DNA became Native but you still carry some of your concurring Arabian ancestors genes in you.
That's what I was going to explain to them. They seemed kind of confused about the "African" heritage. Well said.
That's one theory Einstein
The natives bred them out, they are conquered no more
Ba A then why are they mostly Iberian? The Andalusians who spoke mozoarabic were actually Berber and Castilian. And Andalusians didn’t get kicked out of Spain unless they were Muslim or Jewish and you can obviously see these guys aren’t either
Mexican is a white phrase derived from the white man, to describe the mix of anyone mixed with Natives.
Since, Spain went and conquered the Southern part of America, they all ended up being called Mexican.
Mexican is not a race or ethnicity. They are descendant of Spanish who took up with the Natives. Instead of killing them. They created a beautiful new culture. Just like, much of South America and surrounding islands. That's why, they should be proud of who they are, Latinos are lovers not fighters.. (just kidding, my parents are mixed,Native American Spanish and Irish. Mom was pretty mean. I still loved her till the day she died.)
Norma Van Liebermen the aztecs (white name) called themselves mexica (the Aztec name) so the country was named after that. Mexico since a is for female in Spanish
Actually it’s from what the Aztecs called themselves “the Mexica.” Same how tortillas came from ‘tlaxcal’ or ‘tlaxcala’
Norma Van Liebermen ,actually the word came from Nubian Egyptian travelers from Ahkibulon which is now called Africa ,upon settling on this geographical location in modern-day central America called it (Ahmecza) which in turn became Mexico,
I can't believe all the unnecessary racial comments I just read , what's wrong with being African mixed with Spanish,Jewish etc? it's gonna take a long long time before we can have a different mindset!.
Yes! Omg thank you. I try to not read the comments much anymore because it's like every day there's people who are like 'Oh they're racist.' Like okay if that's the way people feel, that's how they're going to feel. However - Thank you so much for watching! Maybe check out some of my other videos haha (shamelessly plugging my videos lol)
If I'm not mistaking, the Moors traveled to the Western Hemisphere before Columbus, so the results make sense. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct.
correct US history tends to hide that fact to us though
I agree, what do y’all think; when the spaniards came to North America the Natives showed them summerian clay tablets that stated the land belongs to them.What’s bizarre is that the Summerian civilization are from across the pond...
but the Moors would show up as N.African
The olmecs were in mexico
@@cbnboy34 Not necessarily. Moors were North-Western Africa and North and Central mainly so it would include a mash up of genes
Everybody should have African in their blood because Africa is the birthplace for all mankind
Exactly its no surprise but he overreacts. We all have African blood. Even if you have no african traits you still have between 1 and 5% african. Even Asians have african blood.
valente Reyna: I don't want to contradict myself but I want to make clear that Everybody SHOULD have African blood.
I saw an Asian young lady's DNA video the other day and she got only two hits or whatever you call it. They were Chinese and Native American.
It baffled me because I would think that she would have an ounce of African in her blood somewhere but according to her, she only has Chinese and Native American.
The Native American comes from the Mongolian stock who were the ancestors of the Natives who came over into the new land crossing the Bering Straight some 13,000 to 23,000 years ago. So its understandable that she got the Native DNA through her Mongolian ancestors. However, she didn't read off any African results in her DNA which surprises me.
I am going to continue to look at different ethnic groups to see if the African DNA shows up in their results. Of the few white folks that I have looked at, they showed African DNA and everyone else that I looked at did too. However, I've only seen a tiny few different DNA videos from people who are non black. I happen to be black myself.
This is not true, Valente. My mom did the test and didn't even have one percent. African didn't register on her test. Whereas, I have 17% because of my dad. So, I think the way that some individuals tried to breed out my people, they did the same with their own peoples.
jesusneverexisted300 so so true
@Mimi: If you don't mind me asking. What do you mean when you say, " So, I think the way that some individuals tried to breed out my people, they did the same with their own peoples."? I am very curious giving that your mom doesn't have any African blood.
😇 WELLLLLL AS AN BLK-AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN! WEEEEEE WELCOME U ALLLLLL TOO, OUR BLK-CULTURAL SIDE. AND @ THE END OF THE DAY WE ALLLLL ARE GOD'S CHILDREN!!!👍👋👌
Thanks for watching! Have a wonderful 2018!
My wife is from Ecuador. She did the AncestryDNA test and is 61% Native American, 12% Iberian Peninsula, 7% Sub-Saharan Africa, 5% Basque, 4% France, and the rest include Ireland, England, Sardinian, Italian…
Los europeos estamos todos muy mezclados... los genes irlandeses, franceses, italianos o alemanes de tu mujer proceden de sus antepasados españoles, al igual que los genes vascos son igualmente españoles.
Guys your Mother was asking about the Otomi Language. The indigenous Otomi people in the central altiplano region of Mexico speak that language.
Morroco north Africa basically Spanish as well Moor influence
Freecheese North Africans are not Spanish nor are they Arabs,THEY are Africans of North Africa (you can not take North Africa out of Africa because of the lingo and skin)nor can you take Iran out of the Middle East because of skin and lingo.
Why are people so surprised that they have a small amount of African ancestry there were black slaves brung to Mexico. And there are still Afro Mexicans in Mexico today
Exactly
@@tantig5923 please anyone who learned about Christopher Columbus knows.
The whole black people were brought to the Americas has been debunked, if you search up Olmec colossal heads, which were a civilization that lived around Mexico. You can see they have “Black” facial features.Which doesn’t add up if you look at it from The whole Christopher Columbus theory. I’m just trying to encourage people to do there own research of our human species instead of agreeing to what social media and the His-Story books want you to believe...Love & Peace
True. But Mexico still has least amount of Afro DNA compared to All the other Latin nations. Like Cubs Puerto Rico, DR, Colombia etc.
@@voton.w.b.8584 You are So dumb. 7 million slaves here brought to Latin America. Mexico having the least Afro DNA, DR having the most. Not to mention the African migration after that. 1/4 of Latinos are mostly black. 130+ million. You are so ignorant.
Mexicans are primarily indegenous people. To have a portion of european blood does not mean your white people all of a sudden. The same applies for blacks, they have a lot of white blood mixture and they are in characteristic terms, still black. The boxer Ali obviously had a lot of white blood and yet black was dominate. Another thing is white have been mixing more so with whites and white DNA is not indicating black ancestry why not?. Are these DNA programs Legitimate? Police Forensic science in the criminal lab investigation unit, Flatly state three dominate racial groups - Negroid, caucasoid and mongloid as in asian. They have all Native Americans as predominately asiatic. The genetic mark found on asian babies have this mongolian spot on the spinal area or lower backs. This is found in all asiatic infants and disappears at about 9 year of age. Non-asian babies have been found with this birth mark in some cases but is a rule in the case of Asian children.
Hi Ritchie, hi guys! I hope you're all well. I just came across your AncestryDNA video & i was so interested to see your results. This is going to be a long msg, so i do apologise in advance. You guys should be so proud, as your results are so wonderful. We must all be very proud of our roots, as we are who we are. We are made up, of all the genetic codes of all our ancestors, so we must be proud & i'm so glad, that you guys were so happy to see one of your results. I see many out there, who pick & choose what they want to be & seem to push away, or forget about, what they don't want to be. This is really hurtful & wrong. Why? Bec it's not paying proper respectful homage to ALL of our ancestors. When we reject, we are essentially "denying" a specific ancestor, or set of ancestors, who survived & made it possible, for us all to be alive today. Just a few facts though, that i'd like to point out. In ref to your overall results, do remember, that these percentages are only "approximations" & are never exact equations for your "true" genetic code for ethnicity inheritance. This is why, upon each "DNA update" you'll notice that your results change. These changes will include both regions & percentages. This is normal, bec as the DNA databases grow, so too, your DNA results. Also, with regions, there are many global regions, that as of yet, are not even included in these DNA tests, so with time, most us who've taken DNA tests, will see many changes. I always say to people, don't take your DNA test too seriously, bec although it gives you a really great insight, into whereby many of your ancestors may have originated from, or passed through & settled within, it's certainly not always 100% concrete information. Certainly not yet, unless you know of exact regions, via having done your ancestral paper trail, going back hundreds of years. Also, "no two" immediate relatives, will ever receive the exact same DNA results, so, if you want to know exactly what each of you have inherited from your countless ancestors, you should "all" have your DNA test taken. Each person inherits their DNA completely "randomly" & as we only inherit 50% of our parents DNA, this means, that their other 50% was not inherited. This means, that as we don't inherit all 100% of our parents DNA, there's 50% missing within each of us & upon each ensuing generation. Even if 7 or more family members get tested, they still will "not" see "all" ancestral DNA genetics showing up within each of us. This i because of the "random" nature of DNA inheritance, but also because of the "window of resolution" for our inheritance patterns. Obviously the farther back we go ancestrally, the lesser the % becomes, but not always. Also, we do not inherit our DNA from all our ancestors, our Grandparents in "exact blocks". This is a long held belief, that we always inherit 25% from each Grandparent. We do not. We can inherit "more" DNA from one Grandparent over another, but their "combined total" will equal the 50% per Grandparent set. Also, as borders are only "man made" & race in & of itself, is only a "social construct, created by man himself, it should never surprise any of us, when we see all sorts of ethnic regions showing up within our DNA. It's so ignorant & naive of people, to judge each other ethnically, just bec of the way we all appear on the "outer shell". What we look like on our outer, is not what our "inner DNA" story tells. You can be dark & still have much Caucasian ancestry. You can be very pale skinned & even blue eyed, yet, still carry African or non-European DNA. At the end of the day, every single human being, no matter where they come from, all have ancient ancestors who originated from Africa. The cradle of civilization. I recently watched this ridiculous video, regarding whether or not, Europeans are a "separate race". This could not be farther from the truth. All Europeans & all global humans, originate from exactly the same places. We all have ancient ancestors who left Africa & made eventual colonization of the world. Modern men left Africa & he started to "physically metamorphosis" as he moved throughout varying global regions. This process took thousands of years, but it did happen. By the time he arrived in NW Europe, he grew paler in colour, only bec his pale skin would be much better able to absorb Vit D, as there was imply not enough sunlight in NW Europe & is still the same to this day. The opposite is true for Africa. People had naturally darker skin, more skin pigmentation, so they'd have natural protection against the hot sun. This was natures way of ensuring health safety for we humans. So, there is an absolute science behind skin colour, eye colour & our physical appearance. Many people "wrongly equate" physical appearance with "race" & they do not understand the "absolute science" regarding why people look the way they do. I always ask people, to do personal research on the true science behind our physical appearance. We live in a sad world, whereby we pick on each others appearances, bec we simply are not educated enough to fully understand the history of mankind & the true meanings behind race & physical appearance. Caucasian historians, (who by the way are NOT white, but simply a paler shade of "flesh tone"), always rewrote history, to suit their own needs of "supposed" racial "superiority". The word "white" to denote skin colour &/or physical appearance, was "only" used/created by early European colonizers in the Americas. There were early settlers from varying global regions & bec all these people belonged to varying religious denominations, they were quickly referred to by their race & not simply as "humans/people". The true shade of "white" would equate to the shade of A4 paper. Just as, the true shade of "black" would equate to the shade of black shoe polish. Humans are in truth, never this white, or this black, no matter where we go globally. Also, in ref to eye colour, there is NO such thing as "black eyes", even though they may truly appear black. They are really, the darkest shade of dark brown, yet, they falsely appear black. The truth is, we all have light coloured eyes underneath this fine, dark pigment. This is all dark eyes are made of. A fins dark "pigment" which covers the front of our iris & this pigment would have evolved to protect people from hotter, sunnier climates, so their eyes would be fully protected from external elements. There's a scientific reason for our eye colour. Also, please do check out, in ref to DNA inheritance.....DNA Recombination & DNA Methylation. These 2 scientific factors, will help you to really understand why we must all get tested, if we want to find out much more regarding our overall ancestry. In ref to All Mexicans being very dark in colour, this is NOT true at all. There are countless Mexicans, or Mexicans of mixed ancestry, who are a mixture of skin & eye colour shades. Btw, your brother, he does look more so a "mixture of many ethnic groups". He does look more so, "racially ambiguous". It's interesting to see how even within the "same" family, you can end up with many different physical characteristics/looks. Again, this is bec of the "random" way that we all inherit our DNA. It's truly interesting. Finally, i always say, racism is a serious disease of the human mind. It's perpetuated by sheer ignorance & a proper lack of education. Proper & truthful education, would definitely make more positive global connections for us humans. We all share 99.5% of our overall human DNA, with only a .5% variance. We're all much more "closely" related/connected than most would care to "accept & admit". All the best to all of you & thank you for sharing your results. Do get everyone tested. You're a lovely family & i'm sure you'll all be very surprised by your varied results. God bless. :-)
Most Spaniards that came to America were from Andalucia whish was a region long inhabited by moors. The history is fascinating

The Arabs that are seen in Northern Africa now are not the true North Africans. You are most likely picking that up from The Moors who ruled the Iberian Peninsula up until the late 1400's.
Which book did you read? Arab is not a race and the Arab world is made up of Caucasians and Africans with ancestral origins in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Who were the Navigators of Christopher Columbus Ships when he lied about discovering a new world ...yep Afro-Spaniards. How did they get there , they were African Moors who knew the Earth was not flat 500 years before the voyage. Why? Because Africans were traveling across the Atlantic when Europeans thought they would fall off of the Earth. Berbers are a mix of Caucasoid and Sub Saharan African, Arabs are a mix of Caucasoid and African. Arab conquest did not replace Africans it was a movement of unification under an Islamic rule that improved the life of many as they brought innovative ideas that still resonates to this day. Be careful of where you get your news because history is just that His Story and an attempt to wipe out the contributions of the 1st world.

look the jefas face when he said they are part african
Out of the 5 million Africans deported from their country thru the slave trade, only 450,000 made it to the United States. Tragically, it was easier to get them to live by offloading them into Brazil and the Islands. So from my research, there is African blood in most Spanish speaking people who live on Islands or the Coasts.

@@ms.one-town901It's well documented Africans sold other Africans cause they knew the Slave Trade brought lots of $$$$
@NicoleBrown-s6t Yes, there is evidence that African people were in the Western Hemisphere before Columbus and Transatlantic slavery. However, many Africans were brought to the Western world during slavery and they made great sacrifices and contributions despite the oppression they faced. We can not erase that part of history just because some were here before Columbus/slavery.
African were not deported.....they were kidnapped then sold
