"To be African american is to be African without memory and to be american without privilege" Powerful and profound. Do you know the source of this quote?

In the 1400s it was documented that the so called "blacks" residing in West Africa were Hebrews. They were eventually sold by their Hamite brothers (Africans) into the hands of the Spaniards, Portuguese, and later the British/British Colonists. The slaves had Hebrew names with the word Yah in their names.

Congrats! It is blows your mind when you find out! I did both tests. My paternal side is Yoruba from Nigeria. My maternal side is: Mandinka from Senegal, Fula from Guinea-Bissau, Mende & Temne from Sierra Leone, & Kpelle from Liberia. If you are able I would recommend traveling to Cameroon as well as learning the language of your tribe. Be blessed!

Welcome to the family. The Tikar people have a fascinating history and culture. They were one of the largest kingdoms on the continent prior to colonization. The only reason they were colonized is b/c they were fighting multiple wars at one time. The Tikar is a tight knit community. There is semi-annual homecoming for the descendants of the Tikar people. We are offering reparations in the form of land as sign of solidarity and welcoming you back home. Let me know if you are learning Tikar history and meeting your cousins.

I had the pleasure of opening my African Ancestry DNA results with my siblings and my 88-year-old mom on Mother's Day! My maternal grandparents immigrated to the USA from the Caribbean from a small island called Nevis in the early 1900s. Our results told me a lot about how our ancestors were enslaved ALL over the Western Hemisphere! (Drumroll...LOL) Well, my brother, I share maternal genetic ancestry with the Bubi people living in Bioko Island (right off the coast of the Cameroon,) and the Tikar, Hausa, and Fulani people living in the CAMEROON!! Wow! It really does give us a different perspective, like filling in a blank that some don't even recognize they have..... My next major travel mission is to the Cameroon and Bioko Island to connect with the culture and spirit of the people there. Thank you www.AfricanAncestry.com for opening up this new chapter that my children's, children will never have to guess or wonder about anymore!

That’s probably why your ancestors were such an easy target to fall prey to being kidnapped and sold into slavery. I understand that the culture was also rich in religion. I will be getting an Ancestry DNA very soon and I hope that I will be apart of your tribe as well❤️

LAUD OSPAG am a Tikar, do you’re research we are fighters. I mean our strong hold in Cameroon is the north west region (Bamenda) that’s the chief town of the Tikars. We have been fighting wars since from the 16 century we migrated from Sudan to north Cameroon and later the north west region (grassland) . Right up to this day inter tribal wars is still a thing. Our history holds that more that 70% of native tikars we capture and sold into slavery. We are not Bantus. We are Nilots, traditional steel fabrication ( farm tools and den Guns ) are made locally. We are use to fighting wars. Very strong and resilient people. We will die for justice. Bamenda (grassfield) people as it’s called in Cameroon 🇨🇲 are the most rebellious people in the country. The strong hold of the opposition party. We are the artist and the craft men in Cameroon (one of the only 2 English speaking regions in Cameroon 🇨🇲. A former British protectorate(British southern Cameroon) . Why do you think most actors musicians get a higher percentages of the ancestry from the Tikars. Today there is a civil war going on in Cameroon (since late 2016 ) initiated by the Tikar people. Love and respect from the home of the tikars (Bamenda North west >Cameroon.we are English speaking

I did my ancestry dna and I'm 91% african! Wow!! Stands to reason, my dad was born in 1900, my grandmother 1865 her parents were slaves. Which makes me what, two generations from slavery! Not I'm stuck trying to trace grandfather! Did my mothers DNA before she pasted last year, glad I was able to do that!

Do not be afraid to do the patrileage test as well. It is better to know than to not know. And not all African American men have direct European male ancestry despite the rape. By the way I'm 100 percent African, a pure Seereer on both my father and mother's line.

@Soraya And no white people never categorized us as Bantus. The term Bantu means more than that, it is even in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics . Why do you always accord the white man all your history , the term bantu is older than Europe itself , it has a spiritual attachment - historum.com/threads/the-ancient-egypt-nile-valley-origins-of-bantu-speakers.66233/

Jamoni Jamo we tikars are not Bantus , we are nilots we migrated from Sudan in the 16 century and later to north Cameroon and final to the north west region of Cameroon ( bamenda) we are fighters . Steel fabrication ( den guns farm tools etc) we are one of the only 3 groups of people in Cameroon 🇨🇲 who are not Bantus. Tikars, Bamilikes and fulanis

@@jamoni2410 actually, the word Bantu is a artificial term based on the reconstructed Proto-Ntu term for "people" or "humans". It was first introduced (as Bâ-ntu) by Wilhelm Bleek in 1857 or 1858, and popularised in his Comparative Grammar of 1862. So he is correct, the word did not exist until 1857-1858.

Not to diminish the relevance of an MtDNA ancestor, but keep in mind that this is one line that happens to always pass down through the female of the couple each generation. So in other words, you could have one line that came down from Cameroon, but still be 98% from another part of Africa. It's probably not that lopsided, but I just use that example to illustrate a point. It's an interesting fact because it provides a pretty definitive link to a certain tribe/region, but doesn't mean your mostly from Cameroon. Only autosomal DNA will help break it down further and of course that's an inexact science and results are continually updated as the database of DNA samples increases. MtDNA is more exact, but only tells a small piece of the whole story.

You may only be a small percentage Cameroonian, actually. The issue with that test is it only looks at a small segment of the DNA you've inherited from your mother's mother's mother's mother's mother, and so on. It doesn't look at the rest of your ancestry. So you may be majority Senegalese, but one of your female ancestors was from Cameroon.
