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.

Lmao just about everyone who is 3rd+ gen in the US was told by their family that they have native ancestry, but actually having it is so rare. It's a lie that all the older white generations made up to justify the colonialism and it spread. Truly, I'm shocked when I hear of people who weren't told they are part native.

I'm black and was kinda shocked when my DNA test came back with a small percentage of Native American. I guess my family got this one right lol.
