The misconception is that the justice claim reparations only deals with slavery. It has to do with the Jim Crown era as well and post Jim Crow era, such as mass incarceration.
FBA can be traced genetically, based on the unique gene pools FBA has. Predominantly there's four large groups and everyone of FBA descent will fit in each or have a mixture of these. This is unique to FBA, and not to any other Black group, because of the frequencies in the sequences.
1. Virginia: African Americans from Virginia tend to score Nigeria as their top African score on AncestryDNA.
2. South Carolina: African Americans from South Carolina tend to score Cameroon/Congo as their top African score on AncestryDNA. Although, the Gullah-Geechee people often score really high Mali or Senegal as well and they tend to have more Upper Guinean ancestry than most African Americans. The Cameroon/Congo for them could be showing affinity to early Angolan ancestry.
3. Louisiana: African Americans in Louisiana tend to score Ivory Coast/Ghana as their top African score on AncestryDNA. African Americans from Louisiana also tend to score more Upper Guinean ancestry than other African Americans save for those of Gullah-Geechee descent in South Carolina.
4. Mississippi: African Americans from Mississippi tend to score Cameroon/Congo as their highest African score on AncestryDNA. So either way it's solvable. Having both makes the case even stronger. Someone who is 10% is not even black from a physical perspective. Physically it starts around 35% and up. And the few who supposedly don't have "paper work" will benefit from the majority as they are from the same community. So either way, it's a win.
