AhoadaRivers: Stop the obscene words and face reality. Most black Americans/African Americans are of Yoruba root. Read this: The Wikipedia has genuine references to cure your ignorance . Recent surveys of African Americans using a genetic testing service have found varied ancestries which show different tendencies by region and sex of ancestors. These studies found that on average, African Americans have 73.2-82.1% West African, 16.7%-24% European, and 0.8–1.2% Native Americangenetic ancestry, with large variation between individuals Correspondingly, Montinaro et al. (2014) observed that around 50% of the overall ancestry of African Americans traces back to the Niger-Congo-speaking Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria and southern Benin, reflecting the centrality of this West African region in the Atlantic Slave Trade. Benin here means dahomey or republic of Benin Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans 9 Likes |

Iamgrey5: It happened. But they were quickly replaced. We have many traditional laws that allow such quick replacements. For example, women were usually allowed to be married by fellow women on behalf of the umunna, and the married woman would be impregnated by male members of the umunna on turn by turn basis. Then she gives birth to lots of children who would be assumed to be children of the deceased male members of the umunna. This is just only one of the methods we use. There are many more. ![]() 9 Likes |

Iamgrey5: Which Yorubas led the revolution in Brazil? Don't get it twisted. Congo, Angola groups are the majority in Brazil and they came earlier at a time "deAfricanization" was common in Americas. So they lost they cultures and had to embrace the Yoruba culture of Yoruba slaves who were late comers at a point the deAfricanization policy had been relaxed. That you see a black slave in Brazil bearing Yoruba name or practicing Yoruba culture, does not mean they were originally Yorubas. 9 Likes |
