African Americans such as myself, we took a alot of hits too 😂 I got some not so prouds in my dna as well lol.

    Lots of people commenting on the part about the Spaniards committing genocide on the Taino people. The history I learned was that the Spanish landed on Boriken, attempted to take over the land, mass murdered the men and r*ped or murdered the women. If you learned something different, feel free to let me know!

      What you stated about Spain is called the Black Legend of Spain. This is anti-Spanish and anti-Catholic propaganda that the English and later the Americans created and spread around to make Spain look bad. This started 500 years ago. The English and Americans used this to also divide the Spanish speaking countries in the Americas from Spain. It is also a type of divide and conquer action. This Black Legend started because Spain was the first European power to acquire a worldwide empire where the sun never set. It was created in part out of jealousy.

I have a lot of Native American DNA from my blonde/blue-eyed Mexican ancestors. Three of my great grandparents had blue or green eyes. My grandmother has Anne Coulter coloring, and one can't get whiter than that yet she has 45% Native American DNA. DNA tests don't lie. I think my Native American DNA is awesome!

A year after she took her test, I took one and found some shocking results. I took it with MH. I had three genetic groups: 1) South Carolina Black Americans; 3) Southern and Northeastern Black Americans (The southern regions of Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. Also, NY, NJ, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Northern FL, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Eastern Texas). And then there's my second strongest genetic group: CENTRAL PUERTO RICO. That came as one of the biggest shocks of my life. Before I met my fiance I had no idea about that, but now I see how God can bring genetics back together. Ha! The main regional concentration where they found my DNA seems to be Utuado, PR.

    Your Spanish is very, very LOW for Latin America. So you are really African-Puerto Rican and do not have strong genetic ties to Spain. So you are mostly African and Taino really. In Latin America there are no "Afro-Latinos" that is a new American thing. In Latin America you are just Puerto Rican which is a nationality not an ethnic group so like I said your ethnicity is African-Taino, your nationality if you were born in America is African-Taino-American. Remember it is DNA that makes someone of Latin descent not culture not birthplace language etc.. So in other words you can most definitely say you are really African-Taino Puerto Rican or just African-Puerto-Rican if you are from Puerto Rico. This is true especially since your Spanish is so incredibly low. Most Latin Americans have between 40-90% Spanish and other European DNA which varies upon regions of course. Dominicans have some of the lowest Spanish DNA profiles in this grouping. This was interesting.
