@DelargeExtra @MyrtlesGirdles @JobsNowPaper @AquitaineH43797 Nope, that’s not it. It’s hard finding a Black American doctor. Luckily being in the southeast they’re here, but looking a pictures of new doctors, they are few and far between.

@JackPosobiec Black American here. African ancestors since 1630s Virginia in my mom’s side and 1720s Charleston on my dad’s side. European ancestors were in the 1600s. Native ancestors since BC lol 😆

@wil_da_beast630 You’re right. The early church fathers talked about people who were ethnically separated come together now that they are in Christ, Anyone advocating racism and separation in the church is sinning, dividing the body, and will not inherit the kingdom!

@Mohkujin @JosephGodbold @CoreyWriting African phenotypes are diverse. But we are distantly related, our phenotype is different because we are a combination of numerous African ethnicities and other admix while Africans have localized DNA. Also Africans look like dark skin people in the Indian Ocean, but unrelated

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@Mohkujin @JosephGodbold @CoreyWriting Absolutely! Dozens of distinct African ethnicities were bought to the US. Black Americans African ancestry is very diverse and alone forms a new ethnicity. Then you have the infusion of Europeans and Natives into the mix of forming a new people that didn’t exist previously.

@_realitychec His grandmother isn’t biracial. She’s multigenerational mixed. Her roots go back to Dinwiddie County VA. She may have Saponi Native ancestry though.

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@Mohkujin @JosephGodbold @CoreyWriting Black American ethnicity, e.g. descendants of US Slavery. You cannot immigrate into it or join it.

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@black_nerdist @MCdaRealKang You’re right racially he’s biracial. However, his ethnicity is Black American

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@Mohkujin @JosephGodbold @CoreyWriting Black American is an ethnicity. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@amerikkkan12 @bramsmdn No, Black Americans as an ethnicity were formed here in America. Where on the African continent is the ethnic group that an admix of dozens of African ethnicities, various European nationalities (mainly British Isles), and southeastern US Native tribes?

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@John40800892352 @GluckGlucky He’s not 75%, probably 60% or 65%. He’s Black American ethnically. As an American, I love when all Americans of any race or ethnicity does good.

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@GrootFreek @ericstait @La1tann Yes, racially. But ethnically, he’s Black American

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@mmoussa_s @JosephGodbold @CoreyWriting African roots isn’t the discussion here. It’s about ethnicity. I can’t speak for other Black Americans, but I’m proud of and acknowledge my African ancestry from West, Central, and SE Africa.

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@mmoussa_s @JosephGodbold @CoreyWriting Actually it was very big on X some months ago. In fact, if you go back to Teddy Roosevelt time frame, White Americans were beginning to view themselves as distinct from Europeans. And it makes sense as White Americans are admixed intra-racially like Black Americans.

@appyobliged And working in the house, Uncle Peter was probably really Uncle Peter!

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@MikeYu23725557 @GluckGlucky No, he’s biracial, racially. His ethnicity is Black American. And yes, he’s American just like all Black Americans.

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@JosephGodbold @CoreyWriting Tems is African of Yoruban ethnicity. Ben is bi-racial of Black American ethnicity.

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@Ether_Eesh @AllHail_Harry Yup, they look like average Black Americans. Looks like my mom’s family.

[Patwin Lawrence 🇺🇸 @PatwinLawrence]

@Sleepy_Koala6 @NonHumanMedia1 I agree that what we are officially told. Some believe his grandfather’s black friend was his father.
