My roots are black. Don't need DNA testing to tell me that. A quick glance in the nearest mirror will suffice ;o)

You might be surprised. (I was, anyway, to discover that a blacker-than-her-shadow friend had a Irish grandfather).

I saw an extremely interesting documentary last week, probably on National Geographic, about a man who has been tracing mankind back to Africa. It seems he feels we are all African and these Africans traveled to different parts of the world to become different ethnic groups. He used DNA. It was very convincing but I don't buy all of it. It was fun to watch,though.

A lot of people are going to be surprised.

A LOT of American blacks are going to be surprised to find the're 25%, 50% or even more than 50% "European."

And a good number of American whites, particularly in the south, are going to find there's a Black African or two in their ancestral mix in the last 200 years or so.
