Mike Tyson disappointed over Congolese ancestry

[Samori Toure]

I’d be pissed too if the said I was primarily Congo... but proudly I’m Yoruba genetically. Congo is like thinking you were English or Italian or German and finding out you are Polish or Gypsy.

A lot of the slaves that went everywhere were from Central America, because Congo/Angola was the largest exporter of slaves. What is now Nigeria was actually the second largest exporter of slaves.

African Americans have a really good idea of where they are from, because slaves were brought to the USA in layers for different reasons. Most African Americans are connected to the Rice Coast of West Africa (that area from Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, Sierra Leone down to Liberia and over into Ivory Coast). Cameroon/Congo/Angola slaves were brought to the USA, because slave owners were concerned with too many slaves being from one place, which made revolts easier. So Congo/Angolan slaves were added, because they had different languages and cultures than people from the Rice Coast in West Africa, but ironically slaves from Congo/Angola led to one of the worst slaves revolts in USA history (Stone Rebellion). After that slaves were added from what we now know as the modern countries of Ghana, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin, Nigeria and Madagascar..

Tyson always been a bit but I bet none of y’all are man enough to call him a c00n to his face.

With a strap on me? Sure why not.

Black Gun Ownership Matters after all.

I can kind of see the congolese in his face.people from southeastern Nigeria coast range through Congo probably have the goat fighting dna. Isreal Adesaye, Francis Ngonnu and Kamaru Usman all have bloodline from those region. Mnade's and Senegambians too.

fukk is he bytching about? did he think he didn't have any african ancestry? bet he thought he had more Cherokee though

I watch Hot Boxing a lot and I notice Mike has some serious self hate around his blackness. He’s super Zen in other areas of his life but always has a tinge of disdain when talking about Africa and blackness in general. And always leans extra hard into calling himself a nikka or talking about “nikka” shyt

Is he really a c00n? Or is he just someone not on some militants/pan African schtick?

Imma need to see showings of him being a legit c00n

 

[Mickey Kane]

I know a lot of black people, myself included, who did the test and got back mostly Congolese ancestry. I thought it would be mostly Nigerian or Ghanaian.

Welcome brother, colonialism has done a madness to our country but we are a powerful people innately.

Go f*ck yourself.

 

[Samori Toure]

Yep. A lot of African Americans have Malagasy roots.

I never called him a c00n. I wouldn't say it to his face so I'm not about to type it

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Reminds me when Oprah got her DNA test and she was upset that she didn't have any zulu dna in her ancestry.

Not interested in listening to her ass but what were her results?

Who did he beat? In their prime? If you weren't a bum and he couldn't blast you in the early rounds he was a once dimensional boxer.

Compare his resume to a Larry Holmes or an Ali.

People see his explosive highlights and think that constitutes all round boxing ability.

How was he one dimensional? Tyson is one of the most SKILLED fighters in history. Every move had a purpose, and he had more than enough, and talent to go along with his skill.
