I didn’t think that could get worse than #6 but holy shit dodged a bullet.
In London 2010, a Nigerian couple gave birth to a blue eyed, blonde, white, non-albino baby. DNA tests confirms the mother and father are the biological parents. The parents have no known white ancestors. The doctors best guess is either that the mother and or father passed on dormant caucasian genes, or this is a new genetic mutation never before seen.

I guess this explains my green eyes

this is literally how white people came into existence

Omg they are so crazy accurate
haha no you won't
:*(
damn
everything about this is true
You are amazing, you always make me feel loved and you always make time with me, you always make an effort no matter how busy you are. You always put things aside for me, and you’re always loving and passionate. I love you so much for always putting forth effort no matter what and setting aside time to remind me that I’m loved and how much I mean to you. I hate our days apart, but you are so great and breathtaking and amazing, thank you for being who you are, and thank you for loving me past anything and everything. I love you. I love you so very much.
No you hang up
i swear it would be easier to explain if someone looked over my shoulder and saw me watching porn than to explain some of the posts on my damn dashboard…this being one of them

reblogged after 32 seconds in
Evan Vondra (aka Ang) and I headed to the beach and did a much needed photo shoot of my Journey cosplay. We wanted mist but, it had already begun to burn off before we got into it. No matter, alas, I was running around like a proper Nomad
This cosplay took me roughly three months to make, including a one month of eight hour days of sewing. It is made from wool felt and weighs around 20 pounds. Thanks to all the cosplayers who made posts about how they put together their gear! I was able to snag some templates from: http://turnonred.tumblr.com/post/22304756914/okay-that-took-forever-im-sorry-heres-the.
Thank you thatgamecompany for making such a game.
HOLY SHIT MAN THIS LOOKS AMAZING
whoaaaa
absolutely gorgeous

DNA ancestry tests and Black Americans
Note: I already did a post on DNA ancestry tests. This one looks at them as applied to Blacks in the US.
Unlike other Americans, Blacks had their ethnic identity and history taken from them. Even Native Americans know which tribes they come from. DNA tests can help to recover some of that missing information.
There are two kinds of tests:Â admixture tests and lineage tests.
Admixture tests tell you how much of your DNA comes from different parts of the world. For Black Americans it generally comes out something like this:
77% Black Africa21% White Eurasia2% Native America
That is the average according to National Geographic.
Examples:
Don Cheadle: 81% Black, 19% White, 0% Native
Tina Turner: 66% Black, 33% White, 1% Native
Condoleezza Rice: 51% Black, 40% White, 0% Native, 9% Asian
Remarks:
Asian: Sometimes you will see Asian thrown in, like with Condoleezza Rice. At least some of that comes from the late 1800s when the law made it hard for Asian men to marry Asian or White.Native: This number is the least trustworthy since there are few “pure” Native Americans left against which to compare DNA. On the other hand, most of the straighter black hair that Blacks think comes from Native Americans, in fact comes from Whites!White: Mostly comes from White men during slave times, which mostly means rape.Black: This can be further broken down by country. For example, for Vanessa Williams:23% Ghana15% Cameroon/Congo7% Togo6% Benin5% Senegal
In most cases “Black” breaks down just like that, into a mishmash of countries along the Atlantic coast of Africa, from Senegal to Angola. Black Americans are way more of a melting pot than Whites.
% Black African DNA according to tests:
0%Â Jessica Alba
4% George Lopez
11% Mark Shriver, geneticist
14% Craig Cobb, white supremacist
16% James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA
17% Bliss Broyard, daughter of Anatole Broyard (see below)
19% Ildi Silva, Brazilian actress
31% Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones (see below)
34% Anatole Broyard, New York Times writer who passed for White
50% Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
51% Condoleezza Rice
56% Vanessa Williams
61% Quincy Jones
62% Tom Joyner
66% Tina Turner
71% Snoop Dogg
75% Charles Barkley
77% Maya Angelou
80% Chris Rock
81% Don Cheadle
83% Chris Tucker
83% Morgan Freeman
83% Jackie Joyner-Kersee
84% Mae Jemison
89% Oprah Winfrey
92% Whoopi Goldberg
Lineage tests can sometimes pinpoint which country and ethnic group (“tribe”) that your maternal or paternal ancestor came from:
Senegal:Mandinka: Jackie Joyner-KerseeGuinea-Bissau:Pepel and Bayote: Whoopi GoldbergJola: Q-TipBalanta: Tom JoynerSierra Leone:Mende: Questlove, John Lewis, Cory Booker, Maya AngelouLiberia:Kpelle: Oprah WinfreyNiger:Songhai or Tuareg: Morgan FreemanNigeria:Hausa: T.D. Jakes, Anatole BroyardYoruba: Wyatt CenacCameroon:Tikar: Quincy Jones, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Condoleezza RiceBamileke: Jessica WilliamsUldeme: Chris RockGabon:Kota and Shake: Branford MarsalisBenga: Samuel L. Jackson
So, for example, in the case of Oprah, her maternal ancestor, or mother’s mother’s mother’s etc mother, came from the Kpelle people of Liberia.
Some of the above are paternal ancestors. About 30% of the time the paternal line goes to Europe, but sometimes it gives a better match than the maternal line.
