He was expelled as a kid along with his German mother.
All African Americans are mixed, they are mulattoes.
Yes, maybe Nazi Germany expelled her because of her husband, but even that is dubious.

Many are, but certainly not all of them. Plus, mulatto refers to people who are more or less 50:50. Many AA's however look simply black, not even mixed, which is logical.

Where did you get that info from.

Unless they are descendents of a the slave owner(white) having a child with one of his female salves most AA people are Africans who are in USA for a long time, and hence called African- American.

Oprah Winfrey, a somewhat famous African-American woman had a DNA profile done which determined that she has 0% European ancestry. While many African-Americans have varying amounts of European ancestry, many do not.

Oprah Winfrey’s Surprising DNA Test

And according to research published by Kasia Bryc, research fellow at the Harvard Medical School, 96% of White Americans have less than 1% recent (meaning the last 2-300 years) African contribution to their DNA.

That means 4% of White Americans have a Black ancestor in the generations since the founding of the colonies in America.

Here is an interesting article and map concerning the subject.

what is women of color? Is white not a color?

It is so stupid for white folks think the world population consists of white people and "people of color".

Take a closer look, 50% of Italians, Spaniards are probably darker than a typical Japanese or northern Chinese. And they call themselves "white"?

DNA USA


Your info contradicts all published works.
Since we have some experts on the forum, I guess that they will abound on the subject.
I believe that I read a serious study that stated that the American Blacks that had less white blood were the ones living in some island off Georgia, and they had white blood. It seems that at the island, blacks there were descendants of "cimarrones", maroons in American, "palenqueros".




Published in the journal Genome Biology, the study does not offer much in the way of new information but its facts are still interesting.

For example, the study says the majority of American Blacks derive their ancestry from just 500,000 to 600,000 of the millions of Africans who were forcibly brought to North America as slaves during the Middle passage.

The African ancestry of American Blacks comes primarily from six tribal or ethnic groups:

Yoruba (63.7%), Mandenka (19.2%), Bantu (13.8%), San (2.0%), Blaka (1.0%) and Mbuti (0.2%).

Meanwhile, the genetic ancestry of the typical African American is 22 percent European with around 10 percent of U.S. Blacks being of more than 50 percent European ancestry. (source: Taylor Media Services)
