Are black people in europe mix with white in their ancestry?

Question

since black people in american are mix with native american and white i thought so were the black europeans holla back

Answer 1

techinically yeah they probably do have some european ancestry in their blood even if its just a little

Answer 2

Black people came as traders to many European countries and doubtless some of them stayed.  Also shipwreck survivors that managed to come ashore.  Yes, I would think that present black Europeans may have some white DNA, but maybe not a lot.

Answer 3

Black people in America MIGHT be mixed with Native lineage, or White.  Some are.. some are not.  The same is true for Black persons in Europe. Each person is different, depending on exactly who their own ancestors were.

You cannot generalize about any group of persons, at least not in genealogy.

Answer 4

There have been black people in Europe at least since Roman times there were probably black Roman soldiers just about everywhere in the Roman Empire. There would also have been black people throughout the Venetian and Byzantine empires. Shakespeare wrote Othello in the early sixteenth century and his audience were probably familiar with black people. Generally any port city on international trade routes would have regular black visitors. In the eighteenth century in England there was a  vogue for black servants ( whose status as slave or free became a legal issue ) and there were a number of black people in various walks of life , some enjoying success. Some cities particularly associated with trade ( notably Cardiff and Liverpool in England ) have had black resident communities for some time, mostly reasonably well integrated  and mixed with he local population. However the vast majority of Black people in Europe are more recent immigrants since the end of the Second World War. In general most black immigrants have come from the former colonial possessions of the old Imperial powers. hence Britain has had immigration mostly from its former Caribbean colonies , Jamaica , Trinidad, Barbados and the other former British colonies and from its former African Colonies; Nigeria , Ghana , Sierra Leone etc .     French immigrants are more likely to come from its former colonies ,Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, Niger, Chad, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo and its small Caribbean colonies Guadeloupe and Martinique, This is also true of former Belgian, Portuguese  and Italian colonies  In recent times there has also been in influx of asylum seekers from parts of Africa with no specific colonial links.  In terms of genetic heritage many , if not most of the Caribbean immigrants are to some degree of mixed race. The conditions of slavery and colonial society in the West Indies meant that  there was a lot of interracial sexual contact consensual or otherwise. At its simplest if you look at West Africans from the areas where the slave trade drew its victims and their Caribbean or American descendants you can discern physical differences. Since arriving in Europe the West Indian immigrants in particular , coming from a mixed environment without the extensive kinship structures typical of Africa,  and also coming to Europe as often unaccompanied males seeking work , have tended to form relationships with the indigenous population. Indeed by far the fastest growing non white group in British census returns is the dual heritage category with young people increasingly identifying themselves as such. These young people are challenging a number of orthodoxies , not just those of white racists.

Answer 5

Where'd you get the notion that "black people in America are mix[ed] with Native American[s]"?  I'm sure some are, but not all.

The same would be true in Europe.

Answer 6

Some are, sure; there is no all-purpose answer to this question.  The majority of Europe's black population, however, are first- or second-generation immigrants from Africa.  So, for them, the answer is no.
