Many African Americans have European admixture in their DNA. Proportions of European admixture in African American DNA have been found in studies to be 17 %[8] and between 10.6% and 22.5%.[9] Another recent study found the average to be 21.2%, with a standard error of 1.2%.[10]

No disrespect but are you seriously using Wikipedia as your primary source? Also, the article (whose author we know nothing about) says "many" not "most" as you said. Their study could have been 10 - 20 blacks in Orange County, CA for all we know. 17% of that doesn't prove anything. What's crazy is that some mixed blacks feel a need to claim that we are all mixed. Again, speak for yourself. That's your hangup not ours. Like I said in the thread that spawned this one, it's culture that unites us and not the shades of our skin.

wiki is a legit source for message boards..we use it all the time.
and all i'm saying is there arn't too many pure black straight from motherland african americans here. and i'm not arguing with your point which actually proves mine..

This thread is not directed at any one person. Just in general many ppl been talkin about mixed race -especially since Obama- and it always seems that most hav a hard time understanding it. This IS a discussion-Forum -Porn or No Porn, so dont be mad if im makin a thread tryin to discuss smthng!
A lot of smart ppl here and I like to hear from them and maybe learn a thing or 2!

A lot of historic figures and famous people are/were mixed but didnt make a big deal out of it.
Personally, if ur mixed u r not wyte! Thats how white ppl see it anyway...no matter what.No matter what race (for a lack of a better word. Technically, race doesnt exist)
Cant change that and I wouldnt even want to.
