Who will be the first rapper to claim #ADOS?

[xoxodede]

I thought jay z was jamaican

Not at all. Both of sides of his family/ancestors are from the south.

Her Creole line is because a White enslaver "married" the woman he enslaved (Beyonce's relative) -- she's ADOS. Also, her dad is ADOS from Alabama.

thats the case with most if not all creoles down here

unless they moms was c00ning n went white recently

it happened to my family

not like i'd claim those white b*stards anyways we made out better than they did

Therein lies the problem. You guys don't even know yourselves.

Not to antagonize, but I wonder how you feel about people who are say mixed (half African-American and half white)? Would you consider them eligible for reparations? It's possibe that their families could be white within a generation.

What about white people of [verifiable] black lineage. What if they came seeking reparations as well?

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

No he isn’t

Because he from Brooklyn. Likeik every black family from there are Jamaican or part. Lol

The problem breh, especially when it comes to reparations is exactly that. Who would really be categorized as African-American? You will get groups that will claim reparations because perhaps one of their ancestors is an African-American.

That's why I'm asking these questions, but no one seems to be able to answer. I'm genuinely curious.

We have been pushing doing your family tree. That is where it all starts.

We know ourselves -- most of us just don't know past our Great or 2nd Greats -- that is why the movement is so great -- you finally get to find our your ancestors names and stories.

Give everyone time -- we are still getting on board and learning.

this is funny.......and interesting...................kanye initially was with dame after the split......

jay z's wife is of creole descent, which if you go back far enough often points to st. domingue aka Haiti, so I think to keep his wife happy, he won't do it.

the real reason jay won't do it
to paraphrase Jordan "non AAs buy concert tickets too"

#not a businessman, a business, man

Well, Its not far fetched and they not gonna like this one but Beyonce pops could possibly a 2nd or third gen West Indian from the Bahamas.

I say Jay-Z.

If you think about it, it's probably not a coincidence that Roc-A-Fella broke up along ADOS/ACL lines: Jay, Bleak and Biggs vs. Dame and Dipset.

If I recall correctly, Biggs is actually from the Virgin Islands, St.Thomas. My older brother and uncle has met Hov on several occasions in the late 90s on the island. “St.Thomas my nikkas, it was me first” “All you muddaskunts /get buried in the trunk” I doubt Hov is, but in the late 90s he was there so much, people thought he was, but he was just cooling with Biggs.

I think Jay-Z and Beyonce both will endorse it.

I have done Mr. Knowles Genealogy --due to some shared ancestors --- and his ancestors are straight from Bama and enslaved there.

The Paternal Family History of Beyoncé
October 17, 2018Brad Greenland


Beyoncé Knowles is one of the biggest pop stars in the world selling millions of records and performing all over the world. But where does she come from? In this blog post, we will focus on the family history of the Knowles family.

What We Know:
Beyoncé Knowles
Born: September 4, 1981, in Houston, Texas

Parents of Beyoncé
Matthew Knowles:

Born: January 9th, 1951 in Gadsden, Alabama

Célestine Ann Beyincé

Born: January 4th, 1954 in Galveston, Texas



The Parents of Matthew Knowles:

Matthew Knowles was born January 9th 1951 in Gadsden, Alabama to Matthew Q Knowles and Lue Helen. Matthew Knowles married Célestine Ann Beyincé on January 5th 1980. Before their divorce in 2011, Matthew and Celestine had three children, Beyonce, Solange, and Koi.



The Family of Matthew Q Knowles
Matthew Q Knowles was born April 4th, 1927 in Gadsden, Alabama to Taylor Knowles and Gunnie Mae Miller. Matthew Q Knowles had seven siblings including, Taylor J Knowles (1922-unknown), Martha (May 24th, 1924-May 6th 1998), Horace (22 Oct 1925-?), Earnest (July 9th 1928-January 21 2013), Leon (1931-unknown), Warren (December 28th 1933-August 6th 2010), and Dorothy Ann (1936-unknown).



Matthew Q Knowles In World War Two
On April 5th, 1945, a day after his 18th birthday, Matthew Q Knowles registered for the draft. When he registered, he was working at Stamps & Co in Gadsden, Alabama. He was living at home in Gadsden, Alabama on 904 Tuscaloosa Street.

Beyoncé’s Great-Grandfather Taylor Knowles
Taylor Knowles was born March 5th, 1899 in Cherokee, Alabama to James Issac Knowles and Sarah Dixon. Taylor was the oldest of eight children, six girls, and two boys. When Taylor Knowles was 19, he registered for the draft to serve his country in World War One. During this time, it can be seen that Taylor was working for his father James (Ike) Knowles as a farm hand in Gaylesville, Alabama.

On March 2, 1922, Taylor Knowles would marry Gunnie Mae Miller in Chattooga County, Georgia.

They would move to Gadsden, Alabama shortly after and have nine children together and would live there until Taylor’s death in May of 1975.



James Issac “Ike” Knowles and Sarah Dixon


James Knowles was born in February 1867 in Georgia to Henry and Mimmie Knowles where he would live until his marriage on July 11th, 1898. During his life, James Issac Knowles worked as a farmer until his death on July 4th, 1949.



The Life of Beyoncé’s 3rd Great-Grandfather Henry Knowles
Due to the year that Beyoncé’s 2nd great-grandfather was born, it can be assumed that this is where we will be met with the unfortunate reality that her 3rd great-grandfather was born into slavery.

In order to find this, we will have to look at the slave schedules for 1860 for a slave owner with the last name of Knowles. In doing so, I was able to locate the name of Henry Knowles on the 1860 slave schedule with his owner JB Knowles.

During the reconstruction era after the end of the Civil War, Henry Knowles took advantage of his newly found freedom and registered to vote in the next election in Chattooga, Georgia.

I know but he’s from Bed Stuy. A very AA hood but I remember a long time ago Jay z on the radio said many people thought he was West Indian but confirmed he was fully AA on the funk master flex show.
