on the serious though...Im sure some of the black folk claiming three-fifths indian, really are.
in these parts, the indian we speak of are Arawaks or indians from India though...
Nothing wrong with claiming mixed if ya are...but black folk sound soooo proud when they say it though. All lit up.
I dont hear any half indians proudly declaring that they are half black.
..we always lose.

Most African Americans will accept anything other than the obvious. We are a race with a lost culture so some attempt to find a suitable one. Most of us aren't fortunate enough to know where our family originated. I know what Irish town my Irish Fam is in but know nothing about the African because slavers didn't keep records. Some blame slavery as I do.

Because we are all humans who live in a caste system that degrades you depending on how far from White you are... Blackness is deemed the most 'opposite' of White Of course people feel relieved to feel like they won't be hated as much when they find out their smaller percentage of African blood But the joke is on the system. By the very virtue of being human beings, we are all of African descent I recently told this dude from the east coast whose people are Indo-Guyanese and he was shocked. I couldn't believe I met a person who has never heard this before

I think the mass sexual abuse during slavery as evidenced in our DNA should be known and talked about openly. It's not a family secret, it is America's horrific history.
