Who's the Most "Black?" Strangers Take DNA Tests

[@vakiatue]

Being black has nothing to do with genetics. Many people can have black genes and appear other race on the outside. Being black is a experience, a connection with your ancestors and heritage that you don't need to explain. It's tiring how people try to put everybody into blackness just because their father is black or because the one drop rule. It may makes sense in USA or South Africa, because of their stories with segregation and apartheid, but for the rest of the world, you have to look black in order to be one. Your own kind has to recognize you as their own.

[@DD-rh2sz]

@nnnatalie I guess she didn't see her skin color? She was at best in the middle for dark skin. I said it was weird that she was going to the extent of gaslighting people to stay in the "more black" section and she was trying to convince people. She couldn't accept being told they didn't think she was that black. And like I said, if i was perceived more black or more white I wouldn't take it personal. Both sides have beauty in them

Since they were going off of DNA though as the bottom line they should’ve put Jonathan above her no doubt.

In the weight episode for example, towards the end, one of the ladies asks if she can talk about the program she's doing, and then she reveals the stomach reduction surgery she's planning to have, which gives everyone a better idea of where she should be in line.

For a more in depth exploration of this topic, I highly recommend Khadija Mbowe's video on theory of racelessness and Joulezy's video on the problem w/ the black immigrant. The problem is people of color are defined by non-whiteness where whiteness is considered the default. The truth is race itself does not exist.

Let me put this in a more understandable way. These people all identify as black or of black descent.

The genetic results are a surprise to EVERYONE, including the producers. It doesn’t make sense to already weed out the least black ones bc one, it’s a scale of least to most, and two, because doing so would go against the point of the experiment.

Like, Johnathan was clearly more Black than her the whole time, and it felt like him being more meek and not using slang and stuff made her doubt him. On the other hand, Wayne straight up having white great grandparents and being more brown than Joselyn just goes to show you can't think skin tone is always the answer.

In regards to the one drop rule, genetics is not as cut and dry as people make it out to be.

So if both his parents appear full black then how could he be expected to know genetically he is biracial without taking a dna test? So that’s why I think identity should just come down to ethnicity. Ethnically, he’s black/African American since that’s the culture he grew up in and that’s what his parents clearly identify as.

[@courtr1588]

@@DD-rh2sz The only reason some dialects are taken more seriously than others is because of racism. I support using a standardized dialect in formal situations, but I do not agree that a standard dialect has qualities that are inherently better.

What you wrote communicates your idea perfectly though, and someone would be a fool to take you less seriously because of that though.

@@lex5377 Most Black Americans (ethnicity) can trace their lineage beyond their biological parents, and most people have a general understanding of what the enslaved Africans that were brought over here looked like, so it should not surprise a person with a certain phenotype that they are more likely to come from a more mixed lineage. That's not even taking into account that most Black Americans are mixed themselves due to consequences from slavery. Most are about a fifth to a quarter mixed with "*White." As far as the rest of your comment, it's hard to say identity should just come down to ethnicity when certain ethnic groups are tied to certain phenotypes. That can be a part of cultures as well.

There are so many factors that make a person black and not all of it is dependent on genetics and how melanated you are. While that is a major factor it is not the only significant one. I think delving into where and how one feels the most comfortable (environment wise) and who they resonate with the most when it comes to present day as well as historically are indicative. The number one person, Serena, brought up the fact that both her parents being from "Eritrea" was significant enough to keep her at number one. My counterpoint and what I wished one of the other participants had brought up, is that we (African Americans) do not have that luxury. Due to the slave trade (that lasted for hundreds of years) a lot of black people were dispelled from cultures and communities and interspersed among people that didn't want us and forcibly tried to erase us. Even if we took a DNA test or tried to follow a family tree as far back as it would go, we will never be able to know for sure where we came from and what tribe was (or is) linked to us. So while her point is significant it should not have been the deciding factor because the playing field for that is not level and just because we don't know where we came from specifically, it doesn't make us any less black. Another aspect that was touched on but not thoroughly discussed is skin tone. What a lot of people don't know or seem to want to believe is that black people are capable of having children that look like just about every race (skin tone, hair texture, eye color, body type, etc.) without directly breeding with said look-a-like race. In fact, historically, that was the case before interbreeding became normalized (and in some cases fetishized) to have children that were physical outliers and did not look both parents or other immediate members of the family. It should also be noted that we seem to be the only race capable of that phenomenon. I don't know if it's because we are capable of holding so much history within our DNA that certain traits and characteristics are able to jump, skip and span generations for a specific reason or if it's just happenstance but there are definitely multiple occasions where this anomaly has taken place. No other race (that I'm aware of) has this particular capability. So for that reason I would not have automatically assumed that they were the least "black" because of their skin tone. Overall, while it was a great discussion and a nice video I do believe that the mark was missed and would love a part two where individuals are open to this kind of dialogue and expound on why we think and act the way we do because even that would expand on the subject.

My sister is a lot darker than me but has less African DNA than I do (we have different moms). She identifies as Afro-Latina and no one would question that. I consider myself mixed, but I don't feel comfortable calling myself Afro-Latina simply because of my appearance, I'm not perceived that way, I just look like a regular-shmegular Latina. My sister's husband is Black American with over 90% African DNA and he's the same skin tone as me with red kinky hair, my sister is darker than him. Blackness is diverse. Blackness is complex. And I think each person identifies with their culture and family history differently depending on their experiences and upbringing.

[@pavneet2214]

Yeah, I think this is ranking on being African American not black. Black culture imo doesn't exist because that culture is vastly different in each culture you look: Kenyan black culture will not be the same as British black culture. This was clearly an African American ranking, referencing AAVE and proposed African American cuisine. But, the "real answers" they gave afterwards doesn't make sense with the rest of the video: they should have used the same criteria for their own answers and the real answers whether that's DNA or culture. I also wonder if they were to do a European American version if they'd count someone with 20% white DNA and 80% other as white, like they did here with black DNA.

What you describe as “Kenyan black culture” I think most people (or maybe just Black Americans) would just call Kenyan culture. Black is more so a catch all because of the traceability of our heritages being erased. You could say it’s the same as African American culture but we don’t really call it that colloquially.

Omg this is an AMERICAN channel! So obviously these experiments will cater towards African-Americans. If this was a South African or Nigerian channel, we would expect it to only cater to those ethnicities and no one would question it. But, since it’s centered around Americans, it’s such a problem and getting unnecessary hate. Smh. The makeup of the African-American DNA is very different from other black ethnicities/nationalities due to slavery. And most of us (unfairly and to no fault of our own) have no idea where we originate from. So, let them have fun. Stop it!
