Dr. Kittles was also a Human Genome Research Associate/ Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Human Genome Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health and at Howard University College of Medicine from 1998-1999.
This is from an article about Dr. Rick Kittles, the founder of the African Ancestry Genetic Research company:
Dr. Kittles' Y-chromosome test can raise an issue that might be sensitive to some customers wanting to get more in touch with their African paternal ancestors. The test may uncover white forefathers instead. This can be disconcerting because one of them may have owned a black female ancestor.
How common is it? According to Shriver, of the several thousand people he studied who identify as African-Americans, about 90 percent are at least half black genealogically (and thus genetically). On average, about 82-83 percent of the genes found in African-Americans are indeed from Africa. Still, the odds that a Y-chromosome test will find a forefather from Europe are significant. Kittles noted that about 30 percent of African-Americans' Y-chromosomes originated in Europe.
Kittles, for example, has a Y-chromosome common in Germany, not Africa. "My father had told me for a long time that I had a white ancestor on our paternal line. So, the test confirmed it goes back to Germany.
30% of Black men in America have a Y chromosome that goes back to Europe.
Think about that for a minute!
Every time these men reproduce and have a son, they are passing on White male genes. That is powerful when you think about it and shows the impact slavery had upon African-American men.
The Y chromosome is what determines your biological manhood.
I believe that this is a good explanation of why we have a lot of Black men who love White women and for the sheer amount of cooning ass men we have in America.
I bet the majority of the coons and House Negro men out there are part of that 30% that have a European Y chromosome.
Recent research has came out showing the impact that genetics has on the brain and human behavior so it is not out of the realm of possibility that a Black man with a European Y chromosome might have a tendency to act like his paternal ancestors and desire what they desired.
