of Old World migration here, something DNA studies are showing very clearly.

The first were likely the ancestors of the Melungen people of the southern Appalachians, an interesting mix of North African, Sub Saharan African, MIddle Eastern and Iberian people, the latter refugees from the expulsion of Jews and Muslims first from Spain and then from Portugal.

The main influx of Muslims into the Americas came after 1619 with the importation of enslaved people from Sub Saharan Africa.

I wish this stuff would be taught in schools, that the US is nominally 80% Christian, but that means one person in five is not a Christian. Maybe that would cut down on the number of ignorant bumpkins like these two dead punks.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
