Man you guys should feel lucky you know as much as you do. I've been sittin here for over 5 hours trying to trace back my family line(damn near impossible for Af Americans) and the only thing I've found is someone who MIGHT be my great-great grandfather on my fathers side (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_sad.gif)

Hey Jasel , you're luckier than Iam , I can only trace my roots to my grandparents, can't go any farther back (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_sad.gif)

You can probably relate to how frustrated I am then. Cuz I get really pissed off that I cant find out anything about my ancestors.

yes my situation was the result of wars and forced migrations , what is yours ?

[Jasel]

Africans either being captured in war or sold by other Africans to traders and taken to the U.S. as slaves after being brought to the Carribean.

oh , so you must be talking about the 1800's cause I think thats when they banned slavery in the U.S ... (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

[Jasel]

probably before the 1800s. At one point they made it illegal to get MORE slaves but slavery was still legal. I forgot the timeline I got it on my comp somewhere..but anyway there were people who still smuggled slaves in or bought them from spanish slave traders.

you're background is latin Carribean ? I don't know much about the Carribean , but I know alittle about US history.

[Jasel]

95% of slaves taken from Africa to America passed through the carribean. some were there for a few generations.

[PervertBurger]

I can trace my dad's bloodline back to Spain.
My mom is Black so all I know is that there were slaves..

[DaiNamViet]

What the, Cantonese are Han !

Nope, they are not Han.. at least a large percentage of them They still call themselves "Tong Yahn" the result of Tang policy on mass Han migrations back in the 8th century ...

what part of Africa were the majority of American slaves taken from? West africa?

[Jasel]

Ya about 40% of the slaves were from West Africa which was the largest.

[dalawapo]

can u break down the other 60%?

shame 

my great grandmother was Manchu which makes me barely 1/16.

and Cantonese call themselves Tang ren because they did not migrate until the Tang Dynasty fell, they kept alot of the culture and customs(espcially poetry) of the Tang dynasty when they brought it to the south

whether you call yourself Han or Tang ren, it just means referring to the two best Chinese dynasties.

get some knowledge into that slopping Negrito skull of yours before you start ranting

[Jasel]

It really depends on what you read or who you ask. There were so many slaves who died or were murdered on the voyages alone that its hard to get an accurate percentage. Records weren't kept so its hard to find out alot of information.

Sure manchu boy , why is it then only cantonese call themselves Tong Yahn .. rewrite your own false history....get that through your thick manchu skull , you certainly won't be able to see it (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/embarassedlaugh.gif)

mainland southeast asia is definitely negrito. i honestly cannot differentiate Negritos from Austronesians. they have the same rough nappy like hair, brown skin, wide nose, short legs, skulls that slop at 40 degree angle, and huge bulging eyes.

i've read many sources that simply claim that Austronesians are are admixtures of Austroloids, a group which includes Veddoids, Australians,
Negritos and Papuans; with Mongoloids.

the overwhelming majority of southeast asian languages belong to the Austro-Tai group and racial types are definitely Negrito mixed with some mongoloid

"get some knowledge into that slopping Negrito skull of yours before you start ranting"

Uh you do know Dai Nam Viet is 3/4 Hakka Chinese right?

As for the African frizzy hair, what the fu-k are you talking about? Vietnamese hair has always been straight. Vietnamese have always been classified as Mongoloid not austranoid.

http://www.traveltovietnam.com/guide/gener...thnicgroups.asp

"As far as anthropology is concerned, the Vietnamese people have their origin in the Mongoloid race, which is scattered throughout northern and eastern Asia.
At present, there are about 54 Ethnic minority groups inhabiting Vietnam."

And even if we were Austranoid, it doesn't give you the right to dehumanize Austranoids and make them seem like animals. Taking away their humanity like that is one of the worst things you can say to a human being. Hell I'm not even Austranoid and I'm still offended by your remarks dehumanizing them. I could have easily have made comebacks on Chinese dehumanizing them as animals with the problems that they have done in the past but I'm not gonna sink that low.

It's funny how you have to take other races looks to dehumanize them, when whites have been calling Mongoloids inferior and retarded due to their "chinsey eyes" and saying they look like they have down syndrome and were descended from people who have down syndrome. Doesn't sound nice right? Yet you just go right ahead and insult other races who we Vietnamese aren't even a part of.

Good luck on your Chinese orchestra music career or whatever, because your gonna need it after performing on the subway hoping passengers will drop coins into your case just like that Chinese music player who plays Chinese classical music in the subway were I use to go to school everyday with that Chinese instrument that resembles a violin(no joke).

lol it would be funny when Austranoids like Filipinos come up and drop change into his basket and start looking down on him. lol then who's the inferior one then? Yeah your notions of "the divine race" will end up on the subway tracks.
