FACTS OF THE MATTER
Black Americans are a part of the historical African Diaspora, whose Ancestors, whom they derive their very blackness, were taken primarily from West, and Central Africa. A tiny fraction were taken from East and Southeast Africa, as well.
Please don’t fall for misinformation or misrepresentation, on this app, about “broadly speaking” Africans, African ‘black’ Americans, Afro-Caribbean/West Indie/Latino-a etc…

These are professionally peer reviewed population genetic studies explaining the DNA of Black Americans... (Even with our admixtures... we are still Africans. We are genetically and Ethno-linguistically classified as West/Central Africans)
