I've also been doing my genealogy, and this reminds me of the moment when I learned that two of the very few Holocaust survivors in my family found each other in the devastating chaos after the war. They were both wandering the highways of Lithuania on foot, grieving, barely clothed, homeless, alone, hoping to find someone they knew who was still alive. And they just happened to pass each other on a road. When I discovered this, I literally yelled out loud, I was so happy for them.

Why do African Americans act as if their history begins with Trans Atlantic Slavery? Why not look at where you really are from before it happened, and that history and culture before it was robbed and stolen. There lays the real treasure, gems, and heritage, and culture. Slavery was an interruption to the history, not the story, why always focus on the one-page interruption instead of the whole book? A DNA test will tell you exactly the answers, and the place it says you are from is your real culture, story, roots, and identity, and this applies to Caribean people too.

It said something to the effect of that sound of despair being the worst in the world, and it’s always stuck with me.

40 million african americans, 30% at least have come since the 70s, s 20-28 million who went through slavery, and 30% of africans who maybe come from tribes who sold the africans in America into slavery. So 8.51% of the time should be spent on slavery inside the US, 4% of the time should be spent on how african people in africa enabled and their role in selling their fellow black people. 10% of time should be spent on indentured forced Irish labour, their history fighting for america, and their history even standing against america for mexico, the famine in Ireland etc. 5% of time should be devoted to italian americans, how they came, how they fought against america in ww2, how the crime families started because the USA wanted to undermine Italy etc. 10% of the time should be spent on how the English transported slaves, used indentured servants to avoid calling white people slaves, how they butchered native americans, how up until the 1960s they were running concentration camps in kenya, how they ended the slave trade, why they ban guns (because they are colonial power that wants to keep natives under control), and how they were one of the most destructive forces the planet has ever known. The school year is 180 days only, that means 15 days should be spent on black history in america, If any culture is given more than its share of the population, then it should be native americans not african americans, irish, or british. There is power in truth, and there is a lot of truth to get behind, get very intelligent people to make sure none of the 15 days spent on african americans is wasted, and move onto the huge history that is there.

It reminds me of how my family fled Spain during the Spanish civil war. Two died after being murdered by a communist lunch mob at the start of the civil war. Their crime was working in a Catholic church. One died in the Italian/German bombings of Madrid. Three more were killed in prison camps by both the communist and fascist, seemingly for being suspected of being secret agents but were simply trying to live the best they could in a warzone. Only my great grandma and grandpa were able to get out. They got married a month before the war started and had no kids yet. They weren't able to escape together so one ended up in Texas and the other in Mexico. They somehow found each other again through the Catholic church missions in the South west and were able to resettle in Texas on the boarder of Mexico in McAllen Texas. My great grandfather joined the US Navy in 1941 after pearl harbor and survive the war and had 4 children. Eventually I was born in the very same town in Texas. I joined the Army and found my great grandfather's Navy photos. Its strange to think how you are so similar yet lived such a different life because you were lucky enough to come later. If that Spanish civil war never happened, I would probably live in Spain now with a much larger family. Instead I have a tight smaller family in America.

Why do African Americans act as if their history begins with Trans Atlantic Slavery? Why not look at where you really are from before it happened, and that history and culture before it was robbed and stolen. There lays the real treasure, gems, and heritage, and culture. Slavery was an interruption to the history, not the story, why always focus on the one-page interruption instead of the whole book? His family history is not the story of slaves. That's one paragraph in a whole book so why stop and start there? A DNA test will tell you exactly the answers, and the place it says you are from is your real culture, story, roots, and identity, and this applies to Caribean people too.

It's simple. Don't start your Ancestors from America, start from your DNA tracing back to your original country and tribe in Africa. The country it proves you were from, is your history and culture and ancestors and take it from there by visiting the place. Why start the story from where your name, your religion, your language, your dress, your food, and your clothes were already forced to change and stolen? Don't even look into that I would say.

Thank you. This resurrected an immeasurable measure of dignity for the individuals we so often think of collectively as 'slaves'. They were more than just that and their lines held or we wouldn't be here. Thank you.

It's amazing how families stuck together back then in the hardest of circumstances and yet today are broken and absent..

I love it. I did Ancestry DNA in 2017 and I love it but have so many questions regarding my family. Hopefully one day I will have time to do the research.
