You left out her African ancestry thru more than one line. The Maltese name was Manuel Marchel and his wife was an African.They left a slew of free mulatoes (Isabel Marchal) listed in the Spanish West Florida archives.
There is also her ancester Maragret Ard and Nancy strickland who both were Free women of color in the Pike County 1850 Census.

How many times do you have to be told something?They have heritage,and some of it’s not white;they are part African.White on the outside,doesn’t mean that’s all you are;you can have other bloodlines and still be called white

Perhaps some Maltese are part African, but it’s wrong to assume that the entire country has the same racial make-up. There are many people living in the country of America. Despite the fact that people of a few different races reside in that country doesn’t mean that all Americans or multi-racial, or even bi-racial. Many are monoracial. I’m sure there are many monoracial individuals living in Malta as well. It’s wrong to assume that Mediterranean populations are mixed with Black blood.

Umm….except for the fact that EVERY person whom ever lived, now lives, or ever will live is of African descent. This is an irrefutable and inexcapable reality of human existence. It would be wise for us to stop attaching negative connotations to our shared African ancestry and begin looking honestly at the countless positive contributions made by people of various cultures the world over.
Let’s put on our geneticists caps. African people are representative of every potential human phenotypical trait. Further, while there are many distinctive nation groups of PURE Africans, the rest of us are hybrid or derivative Africans. Got DNA? It does a body good. Most importantly, The Creator said it was good. ;-D

Political classifications aside, the only mono-ethnic peoples are among the countless African nation groups. Most of the earth’s human populations consists of multi-ethnic people. (There is only one human race. That’s why we can procreate).

Guess what? You can have white or light colored skin, be from Europe, and you are STILL of African descent. Ancestry doesn’t fade away.
God bless.

Malta has a unique culture, it’s not simply a mix of former invaders, though they have certainly left a genetic imprint, the indigenous Maltese are essentially the same phenotype as southern Europeans and North Africans anyway. They were never occupied by black Africans and there isn’t much of a British genetic footprint in the typical native Maltese. They look similar to other meds.

I don’t mean to be redundant but everyone is a mix between X, X, X, and African. The only exceptions are pure Africans.

It doesnt matter, why do people care if she likes balck guys. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t like black guys ONLY but she has no problem in dating a black guy or probably any other race either than her own. It’s really not a big deal.

What does black and white even mean in terms of culture. Even albinos have some coloring. These were terms created for political expediency and which serve no meaninful purpose except to create an “us against them” paradigm. They do not tie people to a land, language, diet, geographical region, or faith–a cultural heritage. There are dark skinned Europeans, and light skinned Africans. Skin color is but one of thousands of physical traits. It is hardly defining.
