kwame tut: @Frances Looooooooool. Dayum. Those are the results of the jamaicans who submitted their samples. Imagine the rest of the island lol. My point exactly. Those charts posted earlier only show the ppl who were sent to those respective areas. However the demographics changed largely due to deaths, being sent elsewhere and of course mixing. So again, we are not mostly igbo. 2 Likes |

@Kails A genetic study of Jamaica's West African origins Based on MT-Dna profiles it's confirming high Ghanaian ancestry and low Senegambian ancestry for Jamaicans, the results were more ambiguous regarding Congolese (and also Biafran) ancestry, but even if lower than expected it was still found to be present. A genetic study of Jamaica's West African origins Using haplogroup distributions to calculate parental population contribution, the largest admixture coefficient was associated with the Gold Coast (0.477 ± 0.12), suggesting that the people from this region may have been consistently prolific throughout the slave era on Jamaica. The diminutive admixture coefficients associated with the Bight of Biafra and West-central Africa (0.064 ± 0.05 and 0.089 ± 0.05, respectively) is striking considering the massive influx of individuals from these areas in the waning years of the British Slave trade. When excluding the pygmy groups, the contribution from the Bight of Biafra and West-central rise to their highest levels (0.095 ± 0.08 and 0.109 ± 0.06, respectively), though still far from a major contribution. 1 Like |

@the graphs interesting Like I told these ppl before we are mutts. Even the congolese sef was mixed out lol. Although again, those are based on the samples they have of the jamos who submitted them. Anyway jamaica was like a prison for the rough slaves. Bigfrancis claimed the akan were docile....loool. If they were ever present in jamaica, that alone ethers his claim. kwame tut: @Kails Yeah I know. Many igbo women married akan and other african men. Largely due to forced procreation tho. Without babies there would be no more slaves...ive even heard throughout the colonies, even family members were forced to have children together so that their slave masters could have more "possessions" to compete with each other.

kwame tut: @Kails I wouldnt doubt it. There are a whole HEAP of white folks walking around with black african ancestry. Some more obvious than others. In fact southern europeans are generational mulattoes #fact. This means the same spanish and portugese folks who colonized the new world were also mutts. That ethers the claim that the moors were not at all black. Lol The term for blackman in the iberian peninsula is "moreno" which comes from moor. But that is a different subject for another thread. |

Re: Nigerian (igbo) & African American by Crayola1: 4:27pm On Sep 05, 2013 |
Its people like Kwame Tut that make me question if the black man is truly cursed. Who argues about being more worthy of being a slave, only an ignorant nig.ge.r. Furthermore your logic is so retarded one has to wonder if its on purpose or shear stupidity on your part. In one breath you claim Igbo slaves were useless, but at the same time claim that they were only good for field work. If I were a plantation owner why would I put "useless" slaves in the field? Plantation owners were wealthy, but I highly doubt they were in the habit of pissing money down the drain on non performers. Igbo slaves were only preferred in Virginia and parts of the Carolinas (smalls parts of Georgia as well). For mainly two reasons, they were considered to not have a body type that would put up with field work and they were suicidal. The mass drowning of slaves in Georgia, were primarily slaves of Igbo extraction. So more often then not they did house work. But even then, there was no gurantee Igbo slaves would act right, the murder of President Madison's grandfather was attributed to his slaves who were Igbo extraction. Quite a few slave sell notices and runaways list Igbo persons. And on and on and on... African Americans like myself are a mix of every damn thing but its not even as cut and dry as you are portraying it. And dude aren't you from South Africa, which has a host of things so wrong. Lets stick to the facts because no one is in any place to judge If you are wondering why I'm not posting links, its because I detest lazy learners so take this time to familiarize yourself with google 3 Likes |

@BigFrances,Radiollo,Crayola1 IGBOS IN JAMAICA THE GAP BETWEEN AKANS AND BIAFRAN SLAVES(Igbos,Mokos,Efiks etc) WAS NOT BIG FEW THOUSANDS OVER TIME [b]AKAN SLAVES WASHED OFF THE "BIAFRAN BLOOD" THRU INTERMARRIAGE OVERTIME. Hence today AFRO JAMAICANS HAVE STRONG "GHANAIAN ROSE OVERTIME TO 40% GHANA LINKS, THAN BIAFRA DECLINED OVERTIME TO 16%". Weak links. JAMAICA SLAVES IMPORT BY NUMBERS FROM AFRICAN REGIONS. 1. BIGHT OF BIAFRA 33%(not prefered but imported)DECLINED OVERTIME TO 16%. 2. GOLD COAST 28% ROSE TO 40% DUE MATING. 3. ANGOLA-CONGO 18%(not prefered but imported) Note these weren't bought by British from other Europeans like French,Spanish,Portugese. THE LESSON EUROPEANS LEARNT DURING "ANTLANTIC SLAVE TRADE" WAS CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT U WANT. European slavers imported more BIGHT OF BIAFRANS AND ANGOLA-CONGO in west Indies who were deemed physically weaker than PREFERED GOLD COAST,SENEGAMBIAN SLAVES. FACT[/b] |

Re: Nigerian (igbo) & African American by kwametut: 12:18pm On Sep 06, 2013 |
IT IS A FACT THE BRITISH PREFERED GOLD COAST AND SENEGAMBIAN SLAVES. The African Slave Trade and South Carolina South Carolina SC African-Americans Understanding Slavery African Slave Trade and South Carolina Slavery was well established in the "New World" by the Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch, who all sent African slaves to work in both North and South America during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The English began aggressively trading in what was called "black ivory" during the middle of the seventeenth century, spurred on by the need for laborers in the hot, humid sugar fields on the West Indian islands of Barbados, St. Christopher, the Bermudas, and Jamaica. By the time Charles Towne was settled in 1670, Englishmen from the West Indies were well acquainted with slavery and the huge profits they could reap from the toil of others. Slavery was therefore considered an essential ingredient in the successful establishment of cash crop plantations in South Carolina. Like other European nations, England created the Royal African Company to underwrite the slave trade. A string of forts and "slave factories" were established from the Cape Verde Islands to the Bight of Biafra. But the slave trade would likely not have been as "successful" were it not for the "unholy alliance" between the English (and other European nations) and the African kingdoms on whose territories the forts stood. The English slave traders did their best to dupe the native kings, and each native king did his best to obtain the maximum amount of goods in exchange for the slaves he had for sale. For their cargoes of human flesh, the traders brought iron and copper bars, brass pans and kettles, cowrey shells, old guns, gun powder, cloth, and alcohol. In return, ships might load on anywhere from 200 to over 600 African slaves, stacking them like cord wood and allowing almost no breathing room. The crowding was so severe, the ventilation so bad, and the food so poor during the "Middle Passage" of between five weeks and three months that a loss of around 14 to 20% of their "cargo" was considered the normal price of doing business. This slave trade is thought to have transported at least 10 million, and perhaps as many as 20 million, Africans to the American shore. The slave traders discovered that Carolina planters had very specific ideas concerning the ethnicity of the slaves they sought. No less a merchant than Henry Laurens wrote: The Slaves from the River Gambia are preferr'd to all others with us [here in Carolina] save the Gold Coast.... next to Them the Windward Coast are preferr'd to Angolas. In other words, slaves from the region of Senegambia and present-day Ghana were preferred. In the middle were those from the Windward Coast and Angola. At the other end of the scale were the "Calabar" or Ibo or "Bite" slaves from the Niger Delta, who Carolina planters would purchase only if no others were available.The bight of Biafra slaves were disliked as they prone to be suicidal,weaker and lazy. Carolina planters developed a vision of the "ideal" slave – tall, healthy, male, between the ages of 14 and 18, "free of blemishes," and as dark as possible. For these ideal slaves Carolina planters in the eighteenth century paid, on average, between 100 and 200 sterling – in today's money that is between $11,630 and $23,200! Many of these slaves were almost immediately put to work in South Carolina's rice fields. Writers of the period remarked that there was no harder, or more unhealthy, work possible: negroes, anckle and even mid-leg deep in water which floats an ouzy mud, and exposed all the while to a burning sun which makes the very air they breathe hotter than the human blood; these poor wretches are then in a furness of stinking putrid effluvia: a more horrible employment can hardly be imagined. In fact, these Carolina rice fields have been described as charnel houses for African-American slaves. Malaria and enteric diseases killed off the low country slaves at rates which are today almost unbelievable. Based on the best plantation accounts it is clear that while about one out of every three slave children on the cotton plantations died before reaching the age of 16, nearly two out of every three African-American children on rice plantations failed to reach their sixteenth birthday and over a third of all slave children died before their first birthday. Rice's macabre record of slave deaths has been traced to two primary factors - one was malaria, the other was the infants' feebleness at birth, probably the result of the mothers' own chronic malaria and their general exhaustion from rice cultivation during pregnancy. After their horrific "Middle Passage," over 40% of the African slaves reaching the British colonies before the American Revolution passed through South Carolina. Almost all of these slaves entered the Charleston port, being briefly quarantined on Sullivan's Island, before being sold in Charleston's slave markets. |

Woah. The Igbo race must be some big people to you that you devote all this time and energy spewing thrash and hate at. If nobody talks about you then you're nobody. You wouldn't give us all these attention if we aren't anybody, would you? You keep posting all these fake charts here with so much fervour and energy as if you were beaten by an Igbo person, probably in some endeavour in life. Or could it be pure envy? I never see any other tribe receive the amount of envy the Igbo tribe gets. What could it be about this tribe that Kwame hates so much? You keep belittling the presence of igbo slaves in the slave trade yet DNA testing of so many african americans point to Igboland. You can't change history, pal. Its well documented that a substantial number from Igboland were taken as slaves. bigfrancis21: I STUMBLED ACROSS AN IMPORTANT LEGACY OF THE IGBO IN THE COUNTRY OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO DURING THE SLAVE TRADE. ACCORDING TO A CENSUS OF THE SEVERAL AFRICAN ETHNICITIES TAKEN IN 1813, THE IGBO WERE THE LARGEST GROUP OF SLAVES SENT TO TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO.
