Who is doing the genetics calculations with the percentages of west African in every American? And the proof that their ancestors were in this country (or all west Africans would arrive shortly for their reparations)?
What % of west African genes do you need to collect?
My DNA test says I’m 2% North African. Will that work?
Don’t forget the large population of free blacks at the time.
Also, the original blacks brought here were bond slaves/indentured servants who were brought here from the start of colonization. Many of those were white. One of my ancestors was an indentured servant and another brought over an indenture. The indenture was served out and then they were free, usually with a skill, given a plot of land and a sum of money to go their own way.
How will some prove that their ancestors were not freedmen or freed indentures?
