My grandfather who was a Jicarilla Apache always said there was someone hiding in the wood pile…..he was referring to me and my blue eyes…he was joking because he knew my father was mostly white….but he enjoyed messing with me…..outta love.

I now live in Mississippi and I see every day how many of the people detest African-Americans mainly because they think they get special treatment by the government….of course if most of them would graduate from grade school they would see that ALL poor people in the state are being screwed by that same government, irregardless of race……

And then I read a report about research done in the South, which includes Mississippi, that will no doubt be pushed aside as some sort of nut job……

– A simple cheek swab can reveal a lot about your DNA, and for 6 million Americans who identify as white, mostly in the South, that swab has revealed African ancestry hidden in their genes, the Washington Post reports. One in 10 Southerners have at least 1% African origins, and the reason isn’t hard to pinpoint: Slavery. The study, conducted by 23andMe, also found African Americans today are more likely to have a European male ancestor (19%) than a female one (5%). “That, of course, reflects what historians know about white slave owners raping enslaved women who descended from Africa,” writes Jenée Desmond-Harris at Vox. The study even reveals that this blending started in the early 1800s.

The study examined the DNA profiles of about 160,000 people; the data was compared to where they lived and which race they identified with. They found people with less than 15% African genes didn’t identify as black and the average African American’s genes are at least 24% European. “Descriptors like ‘black’ and ‘white’ mean a lot less from a biological standpoint than they do from a cultural one,” writes the Post‘s Christopher Ingraham. Some other interesting finds, according to Discovery:

• 5% of African Americans have 2% Native American ancestry; the highest is 14% in Oklahoma, where Native Americans were displaced after the Trail of Tears.
• Iberian ancestry was common in Latinos from Florida and the Southwest.
• Scandinavian ancestry is highly concentrated in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
• Native ancestry among Latinos is concentrated in Texas and California.

Now thinking back I believe this is most likely a valid paper and study……whites will most likely want to hid this from their neighbors….oh the horror of possibly having black genes coursing through their body…..but makes a Hell of a story……Ironic those that hate the most are themselves at least partially those they hate…..
