    I was thinking Sanders should play Jesus. Even though Aaron and Jesus are/were both Jewish, Sanders used to be a carpenter apparently :)

    Aaron has recent Irish ancestry. To start off I know Alec Frankfort was Ashkenazi Jewish. Louisa was the daughter of David Cushion and Ann Frances Robinson. David was the son of Mary Collins and Robert Cushion, who was born 1847 in Cork, Ireland and immigrated to England. Robert Cushion’s father Robert Cushin (1820) is listed as Irish Catholic according to ancestry.com records.

    To fuzzybear44 – “Couldn’t that 3-5% be the reason why you guys have curly hair?”

    Sure. Who can say?

    I’ve read one of the sources for Ashkenazi Jews’ African ancestry is mixing with African slaves in the Roman Empire, where some Jews were enslaved also.

      That’s one of the sources. However Rome dealt with North African blacks at that time, their dna is a little different. Sub- Saharans came dancing in later

    His great grandmother was an African woman.

        Ethnic, you should put more pics of white people when they have curly hair, as u did for Gerard Butler, so non-whites can claim them, lol.

        • follers says:

          Aaron has curly hair pretty often, it’s not rare for him.

          English and Ashkenazi Jewish people have curly hair sometimes, it’s not atypical.

            Even Nicole Kidman has natural curly hair.

            First off, you know I mean no offense to you. Now as far as Jews go, there was a DNA study done by Payri Moorjani and her genetics team at Harvard Medical School, about the different groups including Ashkenazi. However they didn’t test the black groups. Anyhow going by the tests, it states that you guys are on a consisted avg of 3 to 5% sub-Saharan. Also since you have repeatedly stated in the past, of jewish groups for a long time only messing with each other(which only served to mix up the pot) Couldn’t that 3-5% be the reason why you guys have curly hair?

            Now as far as England goes. I have stated and proven many times, that black people have been running all up and through there.
