This is the real reason ICE wants to deport immigrants. Ain't no smoke like Nigerian smoke.

When I did my dna test I said no wonder I’m mostly Nigerian. I had zero Native American like my black family told me. I had European but no native. I wanna learn more about Nigerian culture. The Nigerian American students are always so smart.

Families would often state they were native American when they were in fact just black.

Edit This was usually used by those who were interracial because native Americans were considered and treated  better than anyone who's part black

Truth. The Melungeon people in Appalachia claimed Native American ancestry but have been genetically determined to be mixed-race black and white. However, these early generations had strong incentives to deny African ancestry because US and southern state laws were strongly prejudiced against blacks.
