what do you all think of the conclusions made by this study
Among self-identified whites in Shriver’s sample, the average black admixture is only 0.7 percent. That’s the equivalent of having among your 128 great-great-great-great-great-grandparents (who lived around two centuries ago), 127 whites and one black.
It appears that 70 percent of whites have no African ancestors. Among the 30 percent who do, the black admixture is around 2.3 percent, which would be like having about three black ancestors out of those 128.
In contrast, African-Americans are much more racially mixed than European-Americans. Yet, Shriver’s study shows that they are less European that was previously believed.
Earlier, cruder studies, done before direct genetic testing was feasible, suggested that African-Americans were 25 or even 30 percent white. Shriver’s project is not complete, but with data from 25 sites already in, he is coming up with 17-18 percent white ancestry among African-Americans. That’s the equivalent of 106 of those 128 of your ancestors from seven generations ago having been Africans and 22 Europeans.
According to Shriver, only about 10 percent of African-Americans are over 50 percent white.

"...only about 10 percent of African-Americans are over 50 percent white."
So the rest of us are what? 17-18 percent white? Where's the breakdown? How many of us are less than 17-18 percent; how many are slightly more and how many are slightly less? He was able to give an estimate for whites who have no African ancestors (70%) and that their remaining 30% percent has a 2.3 percent black admixture. Why isn't there a similar breakdown for blacks? |

if black americans were 88.8% white, what fucking difference would it make? what is supposed to happen when these alleged studies are completed?
will this colorism-"how much white blood do we have" EVER end?
why would any sane person give thought to such a trivial non-issue? |
