Black Genealogy: My DNA Roots

Recently I paid $99 dollars to 23andMe.com to explore just what my DNA spit would spit out. Many of my brothers and sisters are too busy smoking weed and drinking liquor t be concerned and much less finance their own genealogy research.I was inspired by Alex Haley book and movie roots to look into my ancestry. I will give some excerpts of his movie and genealogy information.For a long time I was a captive audience to Malcolm X's lectures on why he used X as his last name. The X stands for the unknown in Algebra. In Math I learned from studying the Egyptian religion comes from the word Ma'at which was symbolic for balance. The word math comes from Ma'at and in algebra its all about balancing out equations to discover the X or the unknown.23andMe.com uses algorithms in part to break down your DNA and figure out where you come from. The Nation of Islam and Malcolm X taught that the Blackman should shed himself of his slave master's name. This would be a good policy but I wouldn't take an Arab name because they enslaved black people a thousand years before the Europeans. Now if 30% of my DNA is European then having a name with them don't make a difference. I looked into my mother's side and found out that my 2nd great grandmother told the census takers she was mulatto and her last name was McElroy.
