When your next results come back, we're gonna need you to reintroduce yourself.
"Do you know your genealogy/roots?"
This gonna be you:
ftfy
Seriously? Seems less worth it then. My parents have 0 interest in that sorta thing, and I figure it's the same for most of my family. They're all pretty solidified in the, "I'm Somali," deal.
E: I also wonder how tribe stuff would work out, anyway. Somalis pass down tribe from the dad's side, so I fall under the same line my father's father's father's etcetc onward for some 21 generations (I have the list, tbh). ¯\_(ツ_/¯
lol we dont general talk about it much, but my one uncle was not happy that we got that naija percentage. Got groups from Gabon and Ghana and the Congo, but he feels a certain kind of way about Nigerians... it really does add something for me as a black american with no real idea of why my roots were before slavery. But if you already have a connection to the motherland, it may not add as much.
when you think about the genetics that go into you from 2 sources, and how those 2 sources have their own 2 sources that are also a part of you...if you want the most clear picture, you'd have to do like a bunch of folks.
I know I have native american ancestry via my great grandmother, but none of that showed up in the test.
Ughh. Tell me about it.
Evening.
Forbidden fruit and all that.
You've confused Being Hotep with Muslim. My fam.
?????
Guyver, The Dark Hero. Was good.
My family is very uh, Somali. Very against interracial marriage, too, as I've said before. Most get blacklisted in a way.
So essentially, you'll never know the things higher up unless the elders of the family get tested. Is it because it's minute within you in comparison to your grandmother, though? On the Native American bit, I mean.
To be fair us Naija don't care for you fake Africans anyway.

Wuttup, killer..
Well, God damn. Let's not do this.
I know. His encounters with some africans over that whole black versus african versus african american had something to do with it. immigrants and blacks had some frictions in the 70s and 80s.
you know us american blacks are super lazy, etc. don't work hard, diluted by white blood, blah blah blah.

Come on Queen why you got to hurt me like that?
I'm mostly joking
Was joking and have little idea of the friction especially as unamerican dog, interesting to know the reason for such friction and his issue.

Just found out that Keith Stanfield (From ATLANTA and Get Out) was cast as L in the Death Note Netflix film...Im so conflicted. I hate that they made Light an ugly ass white guy but I love Stanfield.
Don't be adverse to change, Slay, the future is here. Live the luxury that is a guaranteed seat for your movie showtimes. This is what the world fought for.
I see.
I thought you were something bad.
Not much, big brother.
You. I hope your sleep cycle is improving.
My movie theater just remodeled, they have assigned seating and reclining chairs now

Hey BCT crew. I see that y'all started a new thread *looks around *
Carry on.
Carry on.
hey gordo, what about melatonin?
I got this cherry flavored melatonin that knocks me the fuck out if I take 2 of them.
I though as much, fucked up bit was that he wasn't joking. How blacks and Africans got that into their mix, I can only make an educated socio-economic guess that the white man had something to do with it.

, fucked up bit was that he wasn't joking. How blacks and Africans got that into their mix, I can only make an educated socio-economic guess that the white man had something to do with it.I sat in the VIP seat (It was quite posh) when i went to see Logan the other week, for the first time.
I kept sliding down it, because it was leather and i was wearing a brand new pair of jeans. LMAO.
Good good.

Ain't even been here a day..
We're the real reason uncle Bish left to get a pack of cigs, and never came back.
Well, damn. Cineplex here has had those long as I can remember.
LOL, are they not elite, though? If I can sit VIP, and it's a movie that I really like, I go for it. Or D-BOX? Dunno if you guys have that, but it's a 4D kinda experience 'cause the seat reacts to the movie's movements/conditions.

Believe it or not, I'm popping it every night..just not working. And it almost always does. Pop 2 myself. Think it's the time of year. Bad memories. Worrying about shit I can't control. Did get 3 hours in today so I'm at 15 hours in 4 days..🎉🎊

No other spots around you showing it?
But y'all are not that advanced
Decided just to go Friday, and also catch Ghost in the Shell.
Psych I am not watching GITS
I like to make things interesting
Once PornHub makes an XXX edition, you know it's releasing soon, tbh.
nsfw just 'cause of the company name used.
There's a clear order and prelim of who's made fun of. You'll learn it soon enough.
Drops friday.
I think it is going to bomba Between the bullshit with the film and the terrible commercials.

I got the season pass on iTunes but I'm gonna wait till all episodes are available.
I've heard about that 4D stuff.
We don't have that over here. That i know of anyway.
Damn that's sucky. 😞
Nah, not with all the Haram up in here, he won't.
Yeah. I going to see a preview of it on Tuesday night.
I look forward to it living up to my expectations of it. 😈😈😈

Also because it's gonna ironically be hollow, soulless shit.
Oh, hey, look at this project. 1-bit 3D with title cards to tell story like in silent movies. So inventive to make that work in a playable space and it fits the setting.
Just more proof games will one day surpass movies in terms of visuals and storytelling.
It is great, yes.
How much was it? Might buy in myself if the price is right.
What didn't you like about it
this might have been the most accurate description you've ever given of anything.
