  • come on, many of the black people in america are mixed with something else. seldom do you find someone who has 100 % african blood. here they are identifying that portion of her heritage. nowhere are they saying she (or her daughter - or her parents, for that matter) are 100% african...

  • @africagh18 Actually i am African too from Cameroon (first gneration American ) and the woman herself is mixed with black and white, then her daughter is even more mixed. And there are s few Nigerians that light.

  • @africagh18 that is why we are called african american. All African americans are mixed and we dont have pure "african" blood anymore. My father says he is Black but he is so red with long curly black hair. My mother has light brown eyes... but still we identify with being Black.

  • she is african so all of you live with it

  • Africans come in all shades ...even WHITE!

  • Wow...Hope you are truly hope...and your father is a visionary pastor, leader, father...its an honor to hear you speak..this is from an African man....east African to be exact...keep up the good work

  • African Ancestry doesn't hide anything. You take a paternal or maternal DNA test. In her case she took a Maternal DNA test (Mother's mother mother...500 years back). If someone wants to find out their total admixture (African/European/Asian), you have to take an autosomal DNA test. Different genetic companies do different testing. There is no conspiracy here.

  • What about self-determination? I dare you to tell who the real Rev Leon Sullivan was.

  • @africagh18 Africans come in different skin colors. I have met lightskinned Africans from West, East, Central, and Southern Africa not just Northern.

  • my african roots is west african as well nigerian the yoruba tribe
