@DaUppercrust@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ U r in denial. population clusters r identified from sampled populations all the time, otherwise ancestry testing wouldn’t exist. The % can change but West African ancestry signal will not.
Funny how u guys r quick to believe a paternity but push back on ancestry tests tho.
@Jantar127 Which book are you reading? Michael took over the ownership of Hayvenhurst because Joe was being sued. He signed it over to Katherine and Latoya. When Latoya's ex-husband tried to claim the house, MJ took back her half.
@Jantar127 In 1979 he took his brothers on an all expenses paid trip?? In 1979 wasn't he still on equal footing financially with his brothers as they were all still performing as the Jacksons. Both Marlon and Tito were married and living in their own homes. Michael was still at Havynhurst.
@DaUppercrust@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ That is not how it works . U don’t need every Black American to test before detecting ancestry patterns. A West African marker simply means a genetic variant found much more often in West African populations. These markers are how ancestry is estimated.
@DaUppercrust@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ Low sampling doesn’t mean no signal. The people in that region were tested, not the actual border. If many Black Americans repeatedly cluster with populations from that region, what are you denying? It is not like they are finding markers for ur people among native Americans 😆
@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ Where do you think the term “red bone” comes from? That is a term completely derived from “red Ibo” or “red eboe”. in some slave narratives I read, some of the formerly enslaved people spoke about their great or grandparent being a red ibo. These Igbos had a reddish skin colour.
@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ U r mixing identity with ancestry. I agree that African Americans r a distinct ethnic group but they didn’t fall from the sky. DNA clusters still points strongly to West/Central Africa, no amount of denial changes that. Most of u claiming Native American don’t even have the dna🙄
@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ African American experience being different from Nigerians isn’t the point. Nobody said they’re the same people or culture. DNA clustering is about ancestry & genetic similarity. U r arguing MJ was mostly Native American/European but the ancestry clustering points to Africa.
@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ Borders are modern, yes. If Nigeria had another name, the cluster would be called that. The label is man-made like the borders of most countries. The genetic clustering however, isn’t. So what exactly would you prefer it be called then?
@DaUppercrust@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ It’s not made up. The label is man-made, the genetic clustering isn’t. If Nigeria had a different name, the cluster would be called something else. The facts are that people living in the West African region share detectable genetic similarities many black Americans clusters.
@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ “Nigerian” or “African” DNA in this context means your DNA clusters most closely with populations living in those regions today. Nobody is saying 100% pure anything. But if DNA strongly matches West African/Nigerian populations, that ancestry is clearly there.
@CindyKatz9@ctreid89 He never made it as a pro musician even though he was a guitar player. He also made some mistakes by signing away the Jackson 5 name but as said he invested the money well for his boys.
@excessivfreedom@toughboi9_ Tito’s son TJ took a dna test and he barely had any indigenous dna and he is mixed. His results were 52% African with the majority from Nigeria and 40% European. So if the biracial son of MJ’s brother is getting 52% African then Tito, MJ must have at least 75-90% African dna .
