Here is my two cents worth: My grandmother used to tell me that I was black Dutch-she told me that her mother always said all black Dutch is-is that you have different heritages or whatever in you-like I am---German, Indian, English.. I do not know if that is true or if my great grandmother just told my grandmother that while she was growing up to passify her. Maybe we will never know....Our ancestors were strange.
