Give me my DNA Yarbrough

African Americans should only do African ancestry in my opinion I did my DNA test with African ancestry and my results came back Bissa tribe In Burkina faso 100% DNA match with the Bissa people in burkina faso now a lot of African-Americans don't know their history fortunate for me my father was 67 years old when I was born and so he was born in 1903 one of his brothers was born 1895 his father was born during the time of slavery like 20 years before slavery ended my grandfather came over on a Portugal ships and was dropped off in the West Indies and sold to the plantations in South Carolina by Great Fairy father told his son my grandfather how he got to America and my grandfather told his children and we all learned the truth of us being from West Africa so this was always something that I was aware of as a child that my ancestors came on a slave ships and they came from West Africa now a cousin of mine did our ancestral through the white people ancestry DNA and it didn't bring up anything other than our family tree and when we took that information I took that information I track down the plantation that old my family I track down the information of the plantation owners and what I discovered was the South Carolina plantation owners only took sleeves from certain places in West Africa Gambia was their number one place Nigeria was number two and Angola was number 3 the only chose those particular slaves because they were taller and darker and they use them for the rice fields in South Carolina which was significant because when we look at the slave trade the slave trade mainly came from West Africa but they also was slaves taken from East Africa some slaves were taken from Zanzibar right there at the beach so not all of the slaves came from West Africa some came from East Africa like South Africa so knowing that my descendants came from West Africa it was only a matter of connecting with tribes so during the time of slavery I know that at one time all of that was known as unified Ghana go to Whole territory of West Africa at one time was known as unified Ghana or at one time is also known as Gambia which is said to be the original name so majority of the people in West Africa all share the same DNA which is E1 b1a or E1 b-1b this also comes from haplogroup DYS388 which is found in Northeast which was huge because the Soninke clan which the Bissa tribe is from Soninke is the bissa people original name Bissa is a surname given to them by the other inhabitants living in Up volta which today called burkina faso since 1984 but the Bissa people are mande people which came from Soninke clan all the same and their story tell a migration from Northeast Africa Egypt actually that's where my ancestors came from so to have The genetic marker DSY388 is Huge because it make since being Bissa Soninke which bloodline is from Northeast Africa not West originally so this why African ancestry is they best dna testing site for us

African ancestry DNA testing goes 2000 years back and they only search African dna only and they identify your actual tribe not nation but tribe because Nigeria has many tribes West Africa has 100s of tribes so you want the actual tribe clan people.

DNA testing for ancestry is a scam. That's why you can never find a relative on the continent. Even scientists say it's not accurate. That explains why every once in a while I get an update on my DNA test results. The first time I was 10% Nigerian, 30% Cameroon. A few months later, now I'm 40% Nigerian and 2% Cameroon, 20% Congo. Some BS. It has changed many more times since. Keep in mind that most of these places didn't exist a hundred years ago. Nigeria was named by a European as well as many other countries on the continent of Africa. It's a known fact that the majority of black people in America who's ancestors were slaves, are indigenous to the Americas with documented proof. Black people have always been here in the Americas even before the Red Native Indians. According to records, only 3 to 6 percent of Africans came to North America in chains. Most of the enslaved black people were captured in the Americas. Many European explorers wrote books about seeing negroid people in the New world. Our ancestors called America Turtle Island. Most of us have written records in the US census with that information. Keep in mind that they created the term African American which was created by Jessie Jackson and backed by the US Government to delete our history to this landmass. It's too much information out here to fall for the nonsense. The only thing I liked about the DNA test was the ability to connect to long lost family members which I have hundreds. It stopped at 4th cousins on mine. It also traced me back to Virginia and I have Gullah ancestry and Mongoloid Red Native ancestry as well. I digress.

GIMME MY DNA!!!!!!

Slavery happened all over Africa it started in South Africa then took over all africa….this things of being west africans only is a lie….during the division of Africa all colonizers nations took slaves….
