This is a great man who deserves more respect than those of you get on TH-cam look up those people who you don't like and talk bullshit about them. He came to my school the tenth this month to celebrate the 50yr anniversary of my school becoming diversified. Just like Whites, Hispanics and Asians having a history blacks do to. We have the right to find out about ours just like whites can look at theirs in EVERY history class that we have been in since we started history. RESPECT AND LISTEN!!!!!
HimekoLily Thank you. People always have something to say if it’s something to do with black people.
At the 38:00 mark exactly… this is the only part of this you need to see!
Thank you
It's sarcasm sir🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@kwillie47It's truth put into a joke. Believe what you want.
@heknows9441 ehh context is everything, if you listen to the WHOLE speech, picking and choosing clips is the downfall of society right now
You are totally right. I have done 23andme,ancestrybydna, an ancestrydna. Difference results each any everytime. The best way to find out abt youself is jus do ur family tree.
did any of them change %’s over the years ???
Exactly that's the only way
the gig is up!
Exactly the gig is up they know they sold us to be slaves all over the world.
the doctor comes with facts, dates, times, history, science , writen and orel. unlike some people with stuff off the top of there head.
something makes me uncomfortable with his delivery. can't quite put my finger on it.....
Because he shucking and jiving. Good lying S.O.B.
Because it's straight BS. He's a paid puppet to try to keep us from knowing that blacks are the true aborigines to the Americas. The real Indians
He seems like he doesn’t really have anything to say and is winging it!!
Too much poorly delivered jokes..
YOU WILL GET DIFFERENT RESULTS FROM EACH COMPANY! Send multiple samples to different companies, then compare them with your siblings and your parents.
COMPANIES ARE NOT GIVING TRUTH!.....they are making money.
Yep
No matches to Africa
Siblings can have different genetics
Have you tried CRI GENETICS
And collecting dna for studies
he contradicts himself how you telling the guy you cant trace back to a tribe but then turn around say blacks come from africa and they not native american sounds dumb
jdtrickster4 you don't see it don't worry about my comments
jdtrickster4 you are worried writing a novel. Lol y u lying you are worried a normal person wouldn't need to keep saying anything
jdtrickster4 I'm ignoring you I'm not denying anything yet because I'm not reading it.
jdtrickster4 what? I didn't admit to anything u claim is true I don't have time to go back n forth like a female does. Just hush up and move on
jdtrickster4 you are a female you're still going back n forth trying state your position I already told u to move on
An outstanding presentation done with humor, intellect and savoir faire...Thanks for your work, Dr. Gates.
Fair means white
Litterally since I was a kid , this man inspired me to achieve higher education
what a fascinating story. I would've loved taking classes with him when I was in grad school.
Wait, at 38:00 are they talking about making up the results anyway?..........
Exactly
We all indians. Academia doesn't believe the melanesians are african, they think they're eurasian. Well, they were the original africans of Eurasia before they were scattered to the ends of the earth. The southern "native american" tribes are melanesian, which mainstream admits (refer to Chief Warhorse of the chata/choctaw tribe) melanesian is austronesian, like India/Bharat and descendants of african and australoid people. The bering strait native american tribes (mr. Gates is correct, we ain't them siberian folks) were more recent than the southern tribes who, through migration history, are cousins of the meshika (mexican) indigenous peoples and peruvians + many more south and central american peoples.
The nahuatl are the hybrid children of the northern and southern tribes of north america.
Glad someone caught that, he tells the truth about that but makes it sound like he joking and everyone who says great lecture doesn’t listen.
University of California Television (UCTV)
From clips 33:34 to 33:40 he say's Now you just swab your cheek or spit
in a test-tube depending on what company you use and we can talk about
that later then from clips 39:07 to 39:11 he say don't nobody believe you can
take spit and figure out a tribe, what are you crazy? So basically he's lying
about tracing someones DNA to determine a "tribal ancestry" in his own words.
His own results were anomalous and had to be run many times according to him
but eventually it was revealed through his mom's side that he has Nubian blood
yet he dismisses the claim because as he says the problem with being a Zulu or
Nubian is none of our ancestors who came here in slavery came from
South Africa the Zulu people or Nubia none ZERO!
With all that in mind that puts to question the very idea of DNA testing itself and
suggest that the whole concept is fraudulent. He himself has very little African roots
considering that both his parents are mulattoes who's fathers fathers father were so
called white. With regards to Alex Haley well Alex Haley’s 1976 novel “ROOTS” and
the 1977 miniseries was plagiarized from the 1967 book, THE AFRICAN. Harold
Courlander, the white author of “The African” sued Alex Haley in 1978 for stealing his
story. Through testimony it was revealed Alex Haley stole Courlander’s work and lied
about his African heritage. The conversation taking place in this video is based on
assertions and even flat out lies that are being made up in the back as Gates puts it.
You people at UC should be ashamed of yourselves for running with such a hoax like
DNA testing. SHAME ON YOU!
That's what happens when a big check smacks you in the face. You tell truth in jest. Then spew the lie with stats to make you forget about the truth you just said. Magic.
I guess we didn't watch the same video or do the same research... to get you started his true DNA test put him in the Yoruba nation in the country of Benin ore than close enough to get his ancestors here on a slave ship.
Well said, I agree 110%...pure travesty
Thanks for telling it bruh👍🏾💜
@frankwilson726 where us that in the video??
Dr. Gates has bought genealogical research to the forefront. It is interesting and helps people to know who they are and how they fit into real American History. I have done extensive research and it helped me make real history personal.
Our history as black skin people is right here, right now. We have always been here black skin people. We have always been here in this place we now call America. Although our Native Americans, which is our ancestors sailed over here to the New World FROM AFRICA thousands and thousands years ago, before our European Brothers and Sisters, we have recent findings right now of that evidence, although my people, my black skin people of the Chickasaw Indian Nation has known this all along. We came to Tishomingo Oklahoma, crossing that trail of tears NOT as slaves to the Indians we see and look like today, they are our family, we are mixed blood, with different skin tones, because of white man rape! But the black skin Chickasaw Indians go back thousands and thousand of years! What Mr. Louis Gates, Jr. Told my Cousin Don Cheadle is wrong. We were NEVER slaves to the Indians, theTRUTH is they are our family, we came to Tishomingo, Oklahoma as people on that trail of tears, but my young Cousin Don Cheadle don't know our complete family history and I guess he believed Mr. Louis Gates, Jr. We black skin people in America are all black skin Native Americans of different tribes. We were never brought here on slave ships, the Europeans already had us for slaves in our own land, they did not need to go to Africa.
you know the truth Lovie Duncan....
Lovie Duncan VERY interesting!
Not truth. Native have a very unique gene in the world. Though they are part Homo sapiens like Africans the also have Asian and Europeans genes. This makes them extremely unique because they also career their own unique genetic marking. The Homo sapiens genes is what made them dark skinned. But native are not African but they do career a percentage of African genes. The reason is because of the migration of Homo sapiens.
Lovie Duncan - I think you're believing what you want to believe. You want to feel special.
Amanda Tessmer you just mad that my comment is based on actual facts. Unless you know true history and stop believing the lies Europeans have been telling Negro, aka African Americans for generations, you will remain asleep. Wake up.
39:04 "You're back there making it up anyway. . .Aint nobody believe you can take some spit and make up a tribe. Are you crazy?" HENRY LOUIS GATES
It was a joke
@@candaceleopold1636 lol you think he was joking Abt DNA?
@@candaceleopold1636exactly. Mfs ran with it
Most jokes carry truth in them.
so he's saying the test is a fraud.
They can tell you your y-haplogroup or type, they can tell you your maternal haplogroup or type, they can tell you about others who share DNA with you and if you all share an ancestor in common by looking at your genealogical tree. Anything else is purely speculation. You share more DNA with people within your current surroundings than you do with people in other countries. Unless you moved wherever you're currently staying recently. Then your DNA would go back to where you came from. He spoke the truth. Haplogroups are everywhere because we had ancestors all over the world.
At 55:07 theres a chart saying '' 4.9%'', but how did you get that 4.9% if your ancestors never slept with Indians?
Dear professor Gates, you were the first professor & African American I met at Cornell in 1986 for the class "Autobiography writing". Great to see you again ! Joseph Roevens (from Belgium). Guess what: I'm teaching Cross-Cultural Understanding
Thank you, Professor Gates for bringing your research forward. I have been able to use the information given in "Finding Your Roots" to help search for my ancestors.
He is a funny and intelligent man, and his work for the establishing the 'database' is priceless and deserving respect.
Insightful and informative information from Henry Louis Gates, the Kongo empire was very huge, it included a lot of sub- tribes and for it's influence to be all over not just in the US but also Brazil, Columbia, cuba, Haiti etc.... that's amazing an as a Congolese when the Palenque's of Columbia speak i can hear some words that are derived from the Kikongo/Lingala language
Genealogy is a great way to learn about history. Great video. How much of this stuff would we know today without genealogists and enthusiasts?
Why now you know how we got here. And who enslaved us and l don't listen to those people and they knew who they brought over here Mr gates why are you running around Africa do you really think these people know wher the people were no we are not a Jew we are the Hebrew s and the people all ready we are the Hebrew and that is a fact the African has for a long time who we are the name Jew l don't know where that name Jew it's not who we are and the Hebrew are from white folks but the children of the universe is Hebrew no Jew that's some crap they came up with but the Hebrew name is not Jew they have the proof and I know that they are lieing but the creator of the universe won't honor you with nothing the son knows who the black man is but when Christ come their lies want stand and then you may want to check with your creator
How much does it cost to subscribed to this
How much does this cost threw Henry Louis gates finding my family roots
Dr. Gates is flat out My HERO...
Did u miss 38:00 ???
Happy Birthday to Mr.Gates.9-16-50.WV.Love your show about ancestry.
You are terribly wrong. Dr. Gates' work instills a sense of pride and history in my people. And he doesn't remind us of slavery, we remember it for ourselves.
THANK YOU Dr. Gates for bringin the truth.Peace n love my brutha.
I love the analogy you use comparing racism and black holes. I didn’t hear about this issue with Gates and Affleck. It makes me sad they felt a need to hide the ugliness we inevitably find when looking at our ancestors. We are not our ancestors and not even our parents! I’ve been a life-long anti-racist and anti-imperialist and I have a grandfather - by marriage - who was in the KKK; a second cousin who was instrumental in the formation of the CIA; and at least twelve ancestors who came here on the Mayflower. I also have a child molester and a woman who used a fire poker to kill an Indian who broke into her home. My mother was a racist and I have a beautiful Black son I couldn’t be more proud of. I feel that my exposure to these issues from a young age made me think deeply about the logic (or lack of) of such craziness.
When you look for your ancestors, you also endear history and others cultures
Dr. Gates for the great speech, the videos I've seen where you're in Brazil, other countries in Latin America to see the black people living all those areas including USA. I'm Asian Brazilian and I also was interested in to know the many routes black people had.The wonderful world of music, arts and living style that if didn't exist it was for sure a very bored world. One thing I really love of black people is their SMILE, a natural smile that any race hasn't but just black. Thanks Dr. Gates.
Please stay healthy and strong Mr. Gates. You truly have a story you want to get out and you're doing so, little by little. :)
He's paid to tell all those lies . Don't believe nothing He's saying .
Start listening @32:00 the fruad is exposed
I think that ancestry should be all put into perspective. All aspects should be acknowledged and embraced to a certain extent, because ones roots are a representation of oneself.
THANKS DR.GATES
There are great stories within this Pan African - American tale.
This was wonderful.
This is one of my favorite lecture. Dr Gates is a phenomenal speaker
True
How when it’s full of lies.
This man is a proof that africans can also be intelligent and contribute knowledge to the world
Nah...many before him is proof that Africans are intelligent and contribut knowledge...the white man made it so that people like you have this response and dont believe that Africans have done anything in the world, just to destroy our image and legacies.
@@combatveteran240 But I just wrote that this man is an example that black people Can be wise, I don't know why you're accusing me here instead of others
@@jfjsas07 I'm not accusing you. I'm letting you know that there are way many more examples of intelligent and very knowledgeable Africans/blacks...way way way before this man
@@combatveteran240 I don't disagree
@message2blackwomen . He has written excellent books on black african history. His book " Wonders of the African World" highlight the remarkable black civilizations such as Nubia/Kush, Axum, Mali, Songhay, the Swahili cities, and much more. While I do agree with you that he should explore Black Moorish history to a larger extent, I think its not fair to say he doesnt use his intelligence for the benefit for Africa Americans. His work clears does this.
Brilliant presentation 😊👏🏽.
The angry racists in the comment section. Always appear when anything related to black People is mentioned, positive or negative. 🙄
Look up the boule by Steve Cokley because this guy is apart of it
He’s lying tho.
I wish you were my professor Dr Gates, you are now
My sad told me we're I got my last name from my grandfather his dad I always love hearin about history of our genealogy
Fabulous! I was absolutely spellbound listening to this wonderful man!
What company's test did you take?
Dr. Gates is a very intelligent professor with a great sense of humor!!!
I agree! The man tells the truth and some people just can't handle the truth so they name calling.
Explain what lie? If you have a legit argument I would like to read it. What is it that you disagreed with ,you maybe right ,you maybe wrong.OK OPEN MIND.
Kevin Amy trust me he didn't lie most african Americans hate being told there decendents of africans I guess it's easier to claim somebody else land in America if you lie and tell people you was all ready here then it is to claim the land That is rightfully yours which is the motherland go figure
Why isn’t the whole person important? If I have a percent of African ancestry why would I ignore the other percentages of my genetics. Why do you?
The Average Black American is 77.6% African, 17.5% European and 4/9% Native American/E. Asian?
i wish he could research my family
Very interesting, I'd like to know more.
If you have time on Saturday take aboutb 6hrs of your free time and you can do this all yourself ever bit of information you need is right on the internet I did it myself went all the way back to 1800s if want you can go farther and as far as your DNA it's not needed remember using your DNA to trace you have to have an ancestor that goes back 100s of year to get there DNA to connect with just playen old commen sense.
ColesR205 playen? you mean plain?
AMAZING DR .HENRY 🌟GATES THANKS YOU GOODNESS ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,
This guy is a boule member
As was Martin Luther King Jr
Exactly don’t listen to him he is a sell out!!
Thank You, Dr. Gates.
@FlankerVT I don't think that anything he said was antiwhite. White people promote their history all the time. They don't call it white history but that is what it is. When they talk about Shakespeare, King George, Queen Elizabeth and so on; you don't get upset. So why are you mad now?
I don't know where to start. I tried to reach Dr. Henry Gates thru PBS for my DNA. A person talked with me and I thought this was official. Now I'm feeling quering in my stomach. They told me the amount for DNA was $199.00. I have not had any info since that date (3/17/2020).
Theodora Brinkley Well with Covid-19 probably will be pricey, though regardless it’s dna testing which is very very hard to do
@TCMoor You know Lemba tribe trace their ancestry thru their father's side to Israel, although they are not Israeli. Their is research that shows that their Y DNA has some Jewish roots. At the same time they are definitely African and not some lost tribe of Israel.
I love to look at the news print book mark clippings inside my great grand father's books.
Ok, maybe I was too hard on Dr. Gates!! Another way to view his presentation is that he is using humor and jokes to warn us that there is nothing to this DNA African connection. Remember he said his partner is in the lab "making it up anyway". So he is doing two things: 1) reinforcing the test results that connect aboriginal Americans to Africa; and 2) using humor to warn anyone that takes a DNA test that the results are ""cooked up"" in the labs. He also joked about the fact that he gets a raise from Harvard every-time he has a public disagreement with other black scholars. So I recommend you watch one more time and listen to the many disclaims that he installs with ghetto language. He uses ghetto slang when he wants one group to understand and the other not to understand. I'm sure he was paid after this speech! He`s not tap dancing...he`s doing a soft shoe act! Smart guy!
stan orr SMH, The truth hurts.
Facts
can I use this video for my history fair project
Does Bill Gates fit into this??
My wish is for Mr Gates to trace my DNA just like he does on PBS
I agree,Boringo,split it up with average people and Hollywood characters
@35:38 listen to him tell you they put on a show for money
...i just watched the whole thing, hes absolutely right about the "guilt by association" thing
DNA doesn't disappear. It mutates. Just sayin'.
Diabolical Quantum Mechanic I hasn’t disappeared. It diluted. White started mixing in diluting the BLACK WORLD creating mix races. So the only people who look like themselves are probably the Africans. White carry so much of our Melanin that they look like a Healthy Version of themselves. When whites stop mixing they regress.Europe commonly known as a black land had to be RE CIVILIZED in 711 by the moors. Bathing had to be RE introduced to a blackLand that already had baths. Black Mother is Mother of the ORIGINAL Teacher. The White Mother is mother to our ENEMY the Destroyer. Bible calls them ENEMY.
@@drky1x827
Eurasia?
He was great. I really enjoyed this lecture. The funny thing is he’s absolutely correct about the Native American part. I was in the military and I swear it seems like all the black people from all over the country had the same Native American story. I always wondered how was that possible. The only discrepancy I have is how did 400 thousand become so many if some weren’t already here ? To me that’s the only part I have a problem with. I believe we were already here . I’m not saying they were the Asian looking native Americans . I believe Africans were already here before the slave ships arrived
love tis program.
@message2blackwomen . I see your point now. But maybe he is just not the right person to do something like that. My goal one day is to be influential enough to help black americans address our issues
did you ever take a DNA test..?
What’s the safest most accurate genealogy program to use to find were you truly come from as an African American?
You might want to try a private entity, Africa is a continent, and America (North, South and Central) is a continent no real person should be named as such. Logically it doesn’t make sense...
None all the test are fraud a swab of spit can not tell you who you are
You doing your own family tree
Follow your family tree and no you’re not an African American. We have to stop using that term. It’s misleading.
African Ancestry
He was right i had more European ancestry than native American
you still had native american ancestry though? how much?
@@naithngr81-jh2bb 23%
My great great grandfather was listed as Native American on is census and myself I don’t have any Native American percentage lol.
He is an international treasure.
r u talking about Alkebulan
The bit about Oprah ... 38.03 ... 💫
How to contact Dr. Gates to have Family DNA done? Please reply with contact information.
Fabulous lecture!
Thank you, Dr Gates, for sharing your inspiring story.
I LIKE MR. GATES BUT WHY DOES HE DO SHOWS ON RICH PEOPLE BUT NOT THE AVERAGE PERSON. I UNDERSTAND THAT HE GETS PAID FOR THIS. BUT PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO KNOW REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THEY COME FROM ALSO
Where did you read that? WTH would they do that? I suspect it is because DNA testing is still relatively new and methodologies differ so much between companies....but lets go with crazy conspiracy theories instead.
Bra WHY U UP THERE LYING????
we not the same...we all dont have bill of sale evidence that we all came from africa...they still have many if not all titles of ppl transported as slaves...most of my folks come from the west or middle of the land called america by strangers....we know of the many diverse tribes on both continents that existed before infiltration....they should be more precise and honest...
Smart dude
Black Rose by The Product G & B
@FlankerVT Teaching unfiltered African american history is no more "pro black" than teaching american history is "pro american". Also you're clearly neglecting the fact that one can make a career revolving around African American history, studies or interest.
Considering much of african american family history is unknown its perfectly reasonable to show special interest in unveiling it. Black history in school usually is treated very 1 dimensionally. Hence Af-Am studies courses in college.
WHITE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
African and Native American Ancestry and proud..............
nah you just black
Best of both worlds mate
Really interesting talk. I didn't realise Mr Gates was involved in the Transatlantic Slave Trade Database. I used it to locate the place my GGG Gfather was taken from in W Africa. Not sure about the DNA testing thing. The results always seem to provide food for jokes about ancestry. There was a serious point being made about Oprah and her Zulu ancestry. I had the test done free of charge but I don't think I'd ever see myself paying!
DNA testing is still not accurate because if we go back just four generations. You would have 64 GGGGrandparents
I'm from Montana.......pretty sure I don't have that many great great grandparents after four generations. Inbreeding and all. =P
The Congo river runs toward the African Great Lakes, which connects to the Nile river.
I want to verify how these groups are classified
I feel Gates could be wrong as well. There are people with strong oral history (and perhaps only a little family owned documentation),but there is historical literature, geographical info,(cemeteries) and census records & other corroboration to substantiate having Native American blood. I wish there could be a Q & A type forum for African Americans to ask him face to face what they have found versus what he has found.
go to the natives and look up there records its easy as that
This whole video is full of lies.
This was interesting but his information on percentages was also flawed. It’s flawed because y dna only shows the fathers fathers side, and Mitochondrial dna only shows the mothers mothers dna. I know for a fact that I have Aboriginal American ancestry, it will not show up on my DNA results because it is on my fathers mother side. Dna is still 99.9% inaccurate.
34:55
I had to pause and write this message when he said he's a descendant of Nubians ... Man I am from Sudan and you don't look any different from the Nubians I know... welcome home brother
Black Peoples are the ORIGINAL of Each LAND MASS. But I just wanted to say that I loved the Interview Mr. Gates did on PBS about the Advanced Civilizations of Africa and the trade routes. Sooo Glad that he spoke on that. Kings were eating on Porcelain from China. And I cannot wait for them to finally say who the ORIGINAL EUROPEAN were
Not all black Americans are African and they didn’t bring that many Africans over here. Africans didn’t sell their own ppl.
🤣🤣🤣 yes we are. And we not no native Americans.
Amazing lecture. Thank you.
So he basically blew all the BLM ideas right out of the water..
Exactly...
Love Gates!
Degrees and western education = A`s I hope that make all who accomplished your education in America, happy and financially stable
it used to be but not now ,,,even now also but its different way to take work from people weither black or white or asians or spanic now a days i believe everyone is slave who work low income like i do ...God bless us all ameen
This was such a great talk. I want the q and a...
Henry "Skip" Gates proves how being self centered and self loathing shouldn't hinder financial success.
