About 12 percent of Louisiana residents who identify themselves as white have at least 1 percent African ancestry, or one African ancestor within the last 11 generations, according to a new report.
Louisiana, along with South Carolina, is far above the average for that statistic, which is about 10 percent throughout the South, and 3.5 percent nationwide.

Wrong board. There's nothing political about this thread.

So you're saying Louisianians have been slighted, they deserve more free stuff from the federal government?
PS
If we all came from Lucy don't we all have a little black in us?

I'm surprised it's not higher. Was it a survey or actual study of DNA?

I'm from NOLA East and prefer r&b music. This explains everything.

Yes, we know that there are many creoles and mulattos in Louisiana. FYI we also have many people of French descent.

Creole people are noted for their racial blackness
Who the French settled LA, not enough French women came to the land, so white men had Quadroon balls where black men met and married black women.

So that mean that 12% of the White folks are really Black folks who are passing. I wonder what percentage have American ancestry. I'll bet the percentage of Black folks who have White ancestry is north of 90%, and probably 99% have either White or American ancestry.

Vox points out that disparity is likely connected to male slave owners who raped enslaved women from Africa.
Did Rolling Stone conduct this study?
Everyone is confused about their ancestry. That's to be expected. Many blacks are convinced they possess a higher percentage of native American ancestry and a lower percentage of European ancestry then the facts bear out.

I'm 100 percent certain that one of my great great grandmothers was black. Name was Loucretia and looked just like Frederick Douglass.

One percent? I mean, not for nothing, but if you're 1% of anything, that's awfully down the food chain of the family tree.
Hell, that's the equivalent of GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT grandparent who is a bit over 60% black.
Why wouldn't such a person identify themselves as "white"?

Does that mean we can stop shifting schools around to get more whites in black schools? We are all black like Obama!

Maybe that explains why I've got such a big dick.

read this whole thread and still don't get the point of it.
100% of people on the planet have black in their ancestry. downvoted
