you are so full of politically correct bullshit millions upon millions of europeans came here from ellis island and hardly any have mated with blacks and 4 generations later they still haven't. that means the us is not mongrels but nice try, that liberal bullshit might work with obama voting LIV morons but not people with a brain

I've done some reading about DNA studies in the US. From what I've read the average US black is about 80% African. By observation, marriages between US whites and blacks produce children, of whom about half look like light skinned blacks. Almost half of such children, however, look more like hispanics or mediterraneans. There are two such couples living down the street and around the block, respectively, from me. There are three kids from these families .... Neil and Jonas look like light skinned blacks, Kieren doesn't look black at all. He looks like he could be from some mediterranean country maybe. Two other examples from my old neighborhood in SW Houston - one girl looked light skinned black, two boys looked like typical Mexican-American kids. I can think of another example where one parent was very black skinned and the other was a light skinned blond ... of two children, one (a girl) looked like a light skinned black, her brother had curly hair, slightly olive skin and reminded me of depictions of Alexander the Great - he had that kind of profile. According to online DNA sites I've read, thinking about using, about 30% of the US white population has some African ancestry ... but its small ... like 2-3%. And apparently it depends what part of the country one lives in. I recall reading that among white people in the northeast, virtually none have any nonwhite ancestry at all. However, the same source said he'd never tested a white southerner without a trace of African ancestry. About half the country are "old-stock" Americans, descended from people who've been here since colonial times. If you go back 10 generations, you have over a thousand ancestors ... no way of knowing who all those people were. Unless you happen to run across something someone put on the internet for some reason: freeafricanamericans.com Interesting the number of family names found in my home county there. BTW this means that virtually every American black is descended from slave-owning white people, while only a small minority of US whites are.
