What do you guys think of this Gullah-Geechee's take on ADOS?

[010101]

human stupidity is a bottomless pit*

 

[datnigDASTARDLY]

Gullah folk should be the quintessential definition of ados smh

This why anyone with sense can’t take Twitter seriously

ADOS is a movement that most people IRL don't subscribe to
African Americans are diverse and there are many subgroups

 

[Roland Coltrane]

Gullahs are ADOS tho

that's what I'm saying too
I had one of those DNA tests done and it told me what part of north america my people came from and linked me specifically to an article about the Gullah Geechee.

later on, way down the line, without any prompting or me asking my great aunt in SC told me that our family was gullah geechee.
anybody insisting through any sort of mental gymnastics the Gullah Geechee are not ADOS is Dhalsim level reaching

You can take that African Ancestry DNA test as well. If you are an African American and you come back Mende, Temne or Limba then that is a pretty good indicator that your folks are from Sierra Leone and they were brought to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Northern Florida to grow rice which is Gullah Geechee.

My family is from Tennessee. When my grandmother and her sister were alive they always told us that their family moved to Tennessee from the coastal area in North Carolina. Me and my mother took DNA tests and we came back to the Mende from Sierra Leone maternally and my mother's genetic community included coastal African Americans in North Carolina and South Carolina who are obviously Gullah Geechee.

The Gullah Geechee are AAs

Because their enslavement was on isolated coastal plantations, sea and barrier islands, they were able to retain many of their indigenous African traditions. These traditions are reflected in their foodways, arts and crafts, and spiritual traditions

Old thread but...

So for a person that's not smart, are they somewhat related to the people from Gullah Gullah Island?

yes

I know that's childish but what country do they come from?

Mainly a combination of Angolan + Senegambia/Sierra Leone/Ivory Coast/Liberia areas

How did they settle in that part of the country? Who are they? My dad lady from one of the islands. I forget because she sounds like Ms. Cleo so I always forget. Excuse my ignorance

They descened from the same stock of Africans as the general FBA community whose ancestors were imported into Charleston, South Carolina

Of that total, we know that approximately 150,000 to 200,000 Africans passed through the port of Charleston, in nearly 1,000 separate cargos, between the founding of the Carolina colony in 1670 and the legal prohibition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade enacted by the United States Congress in 1808. These numbers demonstrate that Charleston received a greater share of the trans-Atlantic slave trade than any other port in mainland North America—approximately forty percent (40%) of all the Africans captives brought to this continent—and clearly establish this port as a site of great importance in the broad historical narrative of the African-American experience.

The difference, is that this particular subset of imported slaves that didn't get transported inland/other regions outside of the coastal areas of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida, became isolated to a degree and kept a bit more "Pure" African retention by way of dialect and genetics.
