Slavery existed in every civilization before history began to be recorded. Be proud that America was one of the first countries to abolish it. There are some countries in Africa who hadn't abolished it until the 90s! Also those African slaves that ended up in America were a lot luckier than those owned by Islamic slavers. They castrated all male slaves and made females their concubines. That is why you don't find a large African former slave population in Islamic countries.

[@PradigyMusicman]

Many slave owners raped their slaves and had mixed offspring who were also enslaved. Being a descendant does not mean a welcomed part of the family.

Many Jamaican ancestors were slave owners from Europe they prowled the slave Barracks at night or exploited domesticated slaves and had illegitimate children with them. Secondly, many poor European laborers from Ireland, Scotland, and Germany who were not slave owners had consensual relations with free blacks after slavery was abolished. You forgot to say first black American of Jamaican descent to hold this office. I have a first cousin with the same surname Harris and his paternal roots are also close to Brown's Town St.Ann and he is also a very light-skinned black person. Also in Jamaica, it is a very frequent thing to see a person of African descent who is also mixed with Indian/Asian due to a large number of indentured East Indian and Chinese laborers that arrived in the 1840s and onwards.

If anyone has two parents who have both earned a Ph. D from University of California, Berkeley, that person definitely has an upper-middle to upper class background. Thus, when looking at Kamala Harris' background, it's also important to take into consideration class as well as race differences that the Democratic Party has historically emphasized. Accordingly, Ms. Harris may not have "white privilege", but she certainly had the upper-middle to upper-class privilege.

A upper class black person will be exposed to more racism b/c it puts them in direct contact with racist whites. A white co worker nearly lost his mind when he learned I made more money than him. A white neighbor went to prison after he tried to run me down with his car when I was 5, playing with my cousin on my family's property. My brother holds an MBA and had to sell his house last year after white neighbors started following him on his morning jog demanding him to prove he lived in the neighborhood. My sister is a famous TV Reporter who has to do her job with armed bodyguards after she was harassed by a white nationalist holding a rifle while calling her the NWORD.

When dealing with people who are themselves from Africa, yes. When dealing with the descendants of African slaves in the Americas, not really.

The first generation or two are often specified by country, but past that it blurs into generic European American, or as we usually call it "white" or just "American". The same isn't said of African Americans, because this country has historically been too racist to accept black people are really American and to a lesser extent still is so.

[@RenegadeShepard69]

Yup. After all if we let race be defined racism for any longer it's not really going to change. My opinion is people saying things like in this that "unfortunately they're still seen as different the 'society' " are subconsciously supporting the racist caste system of their society. It's not that the opposite of being focused on race or making things a "race thing" is to be "color-blind" but is to acknowledge that in reality skin color is not what's holding people back the most, more than race,, it's not the white wall of white supremacy is the green wall of impoverished non whites in America. Kamala, Obama, etc. Are a dime in a dozen, because of their families' affluence. The richer the person the less stigmatized they get. And that is why I think that acknowledging race as "unfortunately still a thing nowadays" in the slightest is embracing and agreeing with white supremacist lunatics who have way too much power in the minds of the American people. The way Race works in the USA is a racist concept which the public views as a counter to white supremacy but is actually working in support of it. Just like with the bipartisan elections, the USA always manages to keep the status quo under control.

(( And ... this is all in spite of Harris's (very anti-black and racist) attempt to resurrect the long-dead (thanks to the 1967 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 'Loving vs. Virginia' case) 'racist One-Drop Rule'. The 'racist One-Drop Rule' makes the false, unscientific and extremely racist claim that ... "black blood is" nothing more than merely "subhuman-filth" and that it is so very "filthy and tainted" that ANY amount ... including a mere-drop ... will "contaminate all non-black lineage " .. and will also somehow eventually transform anyone with ANY amount of it in their lineage ... into becoming a "Black" person. )) [[[ ^^^^ i.e. KAMELEON ...

Race is not purely a social construct....it is definitely connected to genetics and skin color. Kamala Harris has chosen to identify as black only to get black votes and so she can claim she belongs to a victimised group rather than a privileged Asian Indian upper middle class origin. Her mother brought her up, she had virtually no contact with her dad. Her mother was a Tamil Brahmin and Brahmins are the most privileged group among Tamils and South Indians in general. Tamil Brahmins are among the elite in South India, both because of their Brahmin status and their higher educational and financial credentials. But Kamala rarely talks about her Brahmin descent. In India caste is more important than just ethnicity and Brahmins are the highest caste.

[@liviadix1433]

What are you trying to say? It will be a lot easier to just say, “middle class”. Which could be redefined as upper and lower. Also, her parents were well educated. All of it helped to make her the person she is today. So what?.. It would be a lot easier to just judge her by who she is. But America is not color blind, or capable to overcome prejudices or biases. So here we go again.

[@philzmusic8098]

I beg to differ. Skin color is determined by a tiny percentage of our genes. There are far more important genetic differences, such as those that determine facial bone structure, or prevalence of certain diseases. Ethiopians are a Semitic people-; that 's why their noses are aquiline, not flat. One of Sri Lanka's ethnic groups have coal black skin, darker than any African's, yet they have no genetic connection with Africans. Climate is a big factor: ethnic groups who live in tropical climes, or have ancestors who did, have darker skin because melanin protects against the sun. If you start at equatorial Africa and head north, people's skin color lightens imperceptibly, reaching Mediterranean olive skin to north European pinkish white skin to Finnish skin, which can be literally white. So if skin color defines "race," there are thousands of races, and the term loses any meaning.

“Born in 1776, Hamilton Brown (a White man) came from Tullyloob, County Down, Ireland to Jamaica in order to earn his fortune. He came with his uncle, Alexander Hawthorne who became an attorney and found the young Hamilton a job as an estate bookkeeper for a new friend in Jamaica. Within a few years, Hamilton Brown had made a name for himself; buying and selling slaves and property. He would mortgage the property and before long owned more than 6 properties, each with a slave population. He lived in Saint Ann parish on the eastern side of Jamaica and represented the parish for 22 years in the House of Assembly of Jamaica. He founded Hamilton Town, which was later renamed Browns Town. He was a sugar planter and cattle breeder. He brought over 300 people from Balleymoney, County Antrim, Ireland to Saint Anne in a brig that he owned, but most were little more than white slaves unless they had specific skills. He was often criticized for his treatment of his slaves and workers. When he died in 1843 it is guessed that he had more than 30 children himself by different slave women, a common thing for slave owners in Jamaica. Although he never married, he left part of his property to his son Hamilton Brown Jr, a mulatto whose mother was Kate Williams, a Negro Ebo slave who was brought to Jamaica before 1832 when slavery was abolished in Great Britain” source: Ancestors of Hamilton Brown Slave Owner by Diana Muir - Author.

ADOS/Black Americans or American descendants of slavery have a history in the USA that goes like this.. 250 years of chattel slavery, followed by 100 years of Jim Crow laws and wealth stealing practices the have left this PARTICULAR ETHNIC group wealthless. This PARTICULAR group has also dealt with redlining, black codes, debt peonage and countless lynchings and massacres. This PARTICULAR ETHNIC group worked for 250 years for free as slaves unable to gain wealth, read or write. Then after that for another 100 years this PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUP had laws written SPECIFICALLY to keep them from gaining wealth, accessing benefits like the GI Bill, the Homestead Act which provided millions of acres of free land to US citizens, proper schools, neighborhoods, jobs etc. which has led to the massive racial wealth gap. Kamala Harris, while having the DNA of an African, she is not of this PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUP. Her mother is a Brahmin Indian professional. She was a high earning woman from a top caste lineage. Brahmin Indians are basically the white people of India. Her father is part Jamaican from a slave trader lineage opposite that of ADOS and was also a high earning professional. Her life and family has not had the same set backs as those who are descendants of American Chattel slavery. It doesn't mean she is a bad person. It simply means she is not some miracle success story as she would be if she were ADOS. She is 1/4 "black" and born in America to affluent parents, but she is not ADOS/black American. Kamala has had anti ADOS policies her entire career. She is against reparations for ADOS. She has made a career locking up ADOS/Black Americans. She is not ADOS. She has always been considered Indian American but since ADOS/Black Americans are politically uneducated and vote mostly based on race, she is being advertised as Black American to garner the black vote.

Christiana, who they called Chrishy, was not illegitimate at all it seems. she was the daughter of Hamilton's second wife. they married -- yeah you heard that right- married- after his first wife Isabella died. so no, she wasn't a product of rape. she was a product of marriage. since both of his grandmothers, including Miss Iris Fenigan Christie were black- most likely Creole- then it seems his great grandfather had chosen a black woman as a wife the second time around. i don't know if his first two sons were white, but both his daughters were black. oh and another thing, Hamilton was Mary's second husband. she was married to a Brown before him, which is why her name is listed as Brown before she married him. i don't know what her maiden name was- it never showed up on anything I researched. but i am sure someone somewhere will find it.

[@jeffmacdonald9863]

Sources for any of that? It doesn't really make sense though. The timeline is too short. The slave owner Hamilton Brown was obviously from the early 1800s, before slavery was abolished in Jamaica. He apparently died in 1843. He can't really have been Miss Chrishy's father, since she died in the early 60s, according to Donald Harris. There need to be at least one more generation - quite possibly more. According to Snopes, there was a second Hamilton Brown involved, who may be who you were looking at. They suggest that the Mary Melvina Brown who married that Hamilton Brown was the daughter of the slave owner Hamilton Brown. Still no direct link to Christiana though. The slave rape would have been a generation or two before Christiana, since it would have needed to be in the slavery days, which ended in Jamaica in the 1830s. Regardless of any of that and regardless of any documented ancestry, it's practically impossible to be Jamaican and black (or mixed) without having slaves in your ancestry - unless it's from known very recent African immigrants. The original African population was brought there as slaves and there was little voluntary immigration from Africa after that.

Could you say that Black and White could be their own ethnicities? In the sense that Black people in the United States have ethnic ancestry from West Africa and Europe. So this combination, combined with the unique culture found in the United States, could make the argument that Black is its own ethnicity. The same could be said for Whites too as Whites in the United States are pretty much just a mixture of different European ethnic groups. You wouldn’t call an ethnic Frenchman White because chances are they would be 100% French and not a mixture of different European ethnic groups.

The problem there is that you're using language and location to define GENETICS!

"How society chooses to define them" is a difficult point because in this context society means "the aggregate of individual behavior" rather than formal rules from e.g. regulation, law, etc. So I would argue what you actually mean is a sort of average of how individuals respond to individuals who have specific physical traits. On one hand it's a small distinction, but on the other hand it's a huge distinction because it's relatively simple to change laws democratically, and enforcing rules about private interactions between individuals is something that can't or shouldn't be the purview of the State.

That last part explains your flaw. Race in the modern day is shallow and unscientific. After all, you even laid out the fact that ethnicity is more nuanced and basically serves the same purpose as race. So why not just use that? The problem with race is that it is too fluid and broad to be a scientific categorization. Rather it serves as a social categorization; thus race is real but not scientific and is a social construct. In addition, the meaning of races change over time as it has been used to include some Jews and Middle Eastern peoples when they would definitely be seen as a different race in Ancient Rome or Greece. Race also changes based on cultures as well. For example, up until pretty recently in human history (about a hundred years back) native "Han" Chinese still considered Manchus to be an "other" even though from a Western perspective they were practically the same. And that's the thing some countries don't even use race because it's so arbitrary to call yourself Asian in a country like Malaysia or White in a country like Germany.

Also, the same individual may have absolutely different results for mtDNA haplogroup and for Y-DNA haplogroup, if their all-male and all-female ancestries come from different populations. One may well be a 100% Western European by Y-DNA and 100% Native American by mtDNA (because those bits of DNA don't mish-mash in crossingover, so they all give you 100% result from one source). I believe there was a video with clearly black girl having a nasty response to a genetic company, which promised to tell her where her African ancestry comes from by studying only mtDNA, but her mtDNA turned out to be from British Isles. Because mtDNA literally contains only a tiny bit of your overall genetic ancestry. Plus, bold for them to assume that all black people have mtDNA lineages only from Africa

Talking about race isnt inherently racist and to say that is ignorant especially when this video is trying to combat racist by teaching people that it's nothing more than an social contruct.

[@jon_s]

@@pizzaburger9928 I know you're trying to make sense for the narrator but you might better understanding my point through a 'chicken and egg' viewpoint: Before humans had the capacity to socially construct any concept of inclusion/discrimination, there were already different races of people on earth. Even if the word "race" didn't/wouldn't exist, humans discovering each other's different skin tones, colors, etc, would have made it to conscious use of language. In other words, racially categorizing people would have been (and, in fact, is) inevitably common across languages. So "race" is not a social construct, it's a language necessity. However, the idea of RACISM (the art of deciding for or against a person/group of people based on their race), is the social construct.

Most of the comment section here is bewildering though. Why were people so obsessed with Kamala's paternal grandparents? What did that matter so much for? Thank you to Useful Charts for the video itself! This was a nice lesson

@@Hanniah--Heart Because it is interesting that Kamala all the sudden identifies as Black when for the last 50 years she identified as Hindustan Indian. Also her father claims to be Caribbean Indian not Black at all. It calls into question her character and motivation for lying.

I’m from Puerto Rico but as a Puerto Rican we usually say I am the combination of three races (Taino Indian, Spaniard and African). In essence that is true but not entirely. It turns out that after taking a DNA test, my racial pedigree is much more complex. According to DNA test I have an ancestry from: Portugal 🇵🇹 24% Spain 🇪🇸 23% Indigenous Boriken/Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 (Taíno Indian) 16% Cameron, Congo, Wester African, etc. 12% European Jewish 7% Nigeria 5% Norther African 5% Senegal 4% Mali 2% Aegean Islands 1% France 1% In summary and using an expression that we usually use in Borinquen (Puerto Rico): "he/she who does not have 'dinga' has 'mandinga'". Basically what it means is "he/she who does not have this has that" (geographically speaking it would be: "he/she who does not have from one place has it from that other place"). Have a wonderful day and GBU !

White slave owners / over lords impregnated Indian black women that's why there is always white male some where in most blacks brown people of South America

[@ellebelle4094]

Yes, always more complex. Yours is one of the most interesting I've seen. Best to have many family members test their DNA. One of the DNA sites used to let you know about some nationality (I think that is a good word) you most likely have because so many close DNA matches have that nationality registering. DNA is capricious. My full sister and I have different DNA profiles. She has 10% French, and I have 2%. Let's pretend we both have 4%. That doesn't mean we have the same 4%. Ancestry can separate DNA by maternal and paternal lines now. I have 2 more nationalities registering on mother's side than she does. I have more Jewish than she does. She has more eastern European than I do. And so forth. There is Native American in the mixes. But a family member not showing Native in their DNA test has several skeletal characteristics specific to Native and they LOOK Native and are always taken as such. What we need is lots more sampling of every population, and more people getting their DNA tested and shared. I don't believe that any of this really makes a difference in one's life--culture does--but it is just so much fun!

Even as giving a replying comment towards other said bloggers; thus, (based on some already giving historical references & possible Birth Certificate info) although Kamala Harris was genetically produced by a Black (possibly mixed-race) Jamaican male & Indian female, there was no real indication of her being 'labeled', recognized as being Black or (of African descent) African American. Is it not true that, even from birth, her racial - genetic line is only listed as: Caucasian, Indian and Jamaican? For someone that as said: "My parents met and continually collaborated at African American civil rights meetings, as well as ultimately often taking me (as an infant and young female child) to those same meetings with them". Thus, my questioning comment is: ? What ultimately happened to Kamala Harris and her final relationship with Black - Richly Melanated males? In the end, is it not possible that this same Black father was not very active within her overall life or final up-bringing? Is this also a case of another Black female seeking vengeance on what her Black father did (or maybe better said didn't do) towards a Black daughter????

[@leesteal4458]

This means that you your DNA is found in these regions. That's all. All the European countries you named means nothing. It just means White. Europeans traveled from one country to the next. There are also many Whites in North Africa. The Taino is self explanatory. Nigeria, Mali and Senegal is also obvious because of the slave trade. Therefore, to break it down- Black, White, Taino. Quite simple.

[@QueenTiye2024]

Based on the DNA findings, you're primarily of European and African descent. There's nothing wrong with that. After taking a DNA test, most people discover that their background is more ethnically and racially diverse than what they thought.

Hello, I'm Indian. Her mother is from the highest caste in India, a Brahmin. She comes from a place of ULTIMATE privilege, there 5 hierarchy of castes in India. She belongs to the top-most, her ancestors were the partners of the British Empire, Britain ruled India with help of these Brahmins. Most Brahmins supported the colonization.

Thank you for this video. I am a Biology teacher and have to explain this concept all the time. In Biological studies nobody talks about race. Even in purely genetic terms we as humans have far more in common with each other that our ethnicities might suggest. Those DNA testing companies mostly lie to you when they tell you that they can pinpoint your ethnicity or where you or your ancestors came from. Some groups that have very distinctive genetic anomalies that have perpetuated in close knit communities can be pinpointed, but that is not very common. It is rather silly that people get so hide bound about determining a persons ethnicity when really all human kind is just a continuum of similar genetic traits, the rest is just environment.

The concept of race is simply a grouping term that is used to simplify discussions. We do this all the time, such as mountains or hills, countries or regions, languages and dialects. Is it really so complicated that you can't just explain it how it actually is?
