WRONG! I have two great-grandparents that were either half or 3/4 Native American. They were mixed due to marriages between Native American men/women and black men/women. Originally they were all from Kansas or Oklahoma. Later they moved to Louisiana, a mecca for mixed people back then, and still today. Many Native Americans mixed with either whites or blacks. I personally have met too many people mixed with Native American ancestry. I have met "black people" that have Indian Reservation ID cards. If you lived in the South parts of the US for a while, you would eventually find many people yourself that are mixed like that and sometimes you can tell by looking at them. You can tell by looking at most of my family members because of our noses and cheekbones.Renata wrote:Actually back in the day when slaves ran away, indians would return them to the white men for a bounty-$ ... Indians never mixed back then it was frowned upon, they had their customs & traditions to uphold. Any mixed kids back then were the result of rapes or master-slave flings.E Irizarry R&B Singer wrote: So in this case, most Black Americans are only as light as light brown due to their Native American ancestry as well.
Black is a combination of Black American and somewhat Native American attributes and some Anglo-Saxon western-European culture/eugenics. No other "Blacks" in the world look like Black people that are solely based out of the U.S. of Gay.
I'm just saying.
My wife's grandfather thought I was a native american when they showed him a picture of me, and he is an 80 year old who never been outside China before.
The reason why you can find Native mixed people here is because some whites thought they were as low as niggers, but some whites thought they were okay. Also each tribe did things differently and had different values and views. Black men marrying Native Americans is more common than you think too. You can find plenty of what looks like a white guy, but yet his nose and darker skin tone, give it away. If you ask him if he or she is Italian, and they say no, then you should ask them if they have Native American ancestry, then they usually will tell you about their family mixed history. Some of those Harley bike riding men have Native mixed heritage too. Some white and black men married Native American women because of the same reasons some of us are getting wives outside America.
