Maybe DNA testing should be outlawed. But we'll keep the capital punishment and long jail terms for criminals.

"Historically, associating human difference with genetic characteristics has had disastrous social consequences....."

Especially if you're in the Black Panthers and you're not Black. Hmmm. (Next, we'll check out the KKK, lol)

"What does this mean; who am I then?" said Ms. Lee

I guess I would be hoping for too much for her to realize that she is an American...

These idiot liberals never cease to amaze me.

Maybe I *will* start up a "Genetic Genealogy Ping List".

Please send FReepmail if interested in being on one.

Seems to me that genetic genealogy is a new science and there's just not enough data yet, although it's coming along quite nicely.

Syke's "Seven Daughters of Eve" was only published in 2001!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393020185/ref=dp_proddesc_2/104-9616745-9836707?%5Fencoding=UTF8&n=507846&v=glance

I believe Sykes was the first one to offer to test your DNA and tell you about your deep ancestry -- for a fee.

When I first got on the Internet, it was said that the three biggest private uses were porn, investing, and genealogy. Seems like genealogy hasn't kept pace with the other two! It's pretty hard to push your genealogy back more than a couple hundred years using written records - so the genetic genealogy is very exciting.

Just a thought.OK here i go,she's 50% African at most?I haven't heard much about the reparations movement(scam)lately,but in her case would she be "pro-rated" according to the percentage of her african heritage?I read some time ago a payout of $1million(each)was discussed.$500k would still be a great payday for Ms.Lisa.Sounds fair to me.

Maybe if the stupid wench realized she was American she'd stop having any problems.

She must not realize that every male has only one Y chromosome he receives from his father. She could be almost completely African but somewhere along her father's line they had a non-African man throw his Y chromosome into the mix and that's the direct male line. Essentially it's looking at your father's father's father's father's father's...etc etc etc

I don't need a DNA test to tell me I'm a mutt.

I believe my ancestry to be English, Irish, Welsh, Dutch, Danish, etc., but what if it turns out I have French in me? Should I throw myself off a bridge? The various countries my ancestors procreated in doesn't change who I am.
