Scoville BS: 'nappy headed hos' what does it mean? (97* d) RE: BS: 'nappy headed hos' what does it mean? 16 Apr 07

At least one of them; he's pretty light-skinned.

Most African-Americans have a considerable amount of white ancestry at some point, Irish or otherwise. PBS had a thing about it back in February ("Black History Month"). Tracing Oprah's DNA or something. Spike Lee or somebody was shocked by how "white" he was, genetically.

But then I'd be willing to bet that most Americans, unless their ancestors immigrated very recently, are not what they've been told they are. We had a friend whose mother and grandmother swore up and down they were "100% English". The friend finally did some genealogy and thought it was hilarious when she got back six or seven generations and everything turned to German and Cherokee. Not only was she not 100% English, she apparently wasn't English at all.
