Motherland: A Genetic Journey (pt 1)

First part of a fascinating documentary in which two sisters and one brother, all descendants of slaves now living in the UK, investigate their genetic origins. During their journeys they learn a massive amount and are all forced to re-evaluate their sense of identity.

@ 9.10, WTH does he meen by IF there was african blood in him? That family needs a reality check. They are descended from african slaves brought to that continent. It's not 'perhaps I am descending from them. You are!! Just like your Jamaican neighbors and extended family.

Dam my niga yall bitches talkin some crazy shit yall keep blamin the white man for shit but these days that shit dont fly you racist bastards you aint no better than the white people you hate you bitches just as racist you fuckas

[PunchOjr]

Shes talking as if having African blood running through her is like a unwanted stepchild! I bet she lives a real depressed life and the whites she befriend looks at her as if she have a self denial psychological disorder. That'll be easy for them to exploit her because obviously she either doesnt know herself or hate herself.

Great to see this again! Thanks for sharing......

I have more white blood then this jamaican bitch and i don't hate myself like her

[lovesexpistols134]

Me and my brothers and sister are also proud of our african blood no matter how we look like we like african food , love african music and do tell people we are multiracial but part african too.The media shows africans as poor , nasty , starving people so many blacks around the world are ashame to be part black .Yes i am proud also of my non african blood and no my ancestors were not slaves so we don't hate the white men .

[lovesexpistols134]

This jamaican bitch is out of her mind.I am multiracial my dad is south east asian , polynesian , chinese and arab and my mom is african , hispanic half white uropean i had been mistaken for a south east asian by asians and polynesian but i think i look like a south east asian , polynesian with black blood well people can tell i have black blood exept the asians and polynesians. I look more mixed then this jamaican bitch , my skin is medium brown but not too dark .

This Jamaican woman is delusional if she thinks she thinks she is more British because I would definitely mistake her for an African, looking at her, her facial features and hair here in Ukraine.

That family is fucked up. Obviously, these mofos are in some deep self denial. Willie lynch still lives on..,.smmfh
