Where do African-American Johnson's come from?
African-Americans with European surnamesI believe that I understand that the Johnson surname is of Norman Anglo Saxxon origin so it is understandable that an African-American with this surname must have acquired it in America during slavery. My assumtion is based on the fact that although the British Empire enslaved many peoples world wide, no other ethinc group lost their names and identities. A great example of this is in Tobaggo and Trinidad where peolple of eastern Indian decent still carry their Indian surnames, however the people of African desent have European names mostly English Dutch and Spanish. But i cant find any trace of ancesteral or geneoligical evidence of how or where the names began to be attached to African-Americans. The only Africans to use the name are of African-American decant in modern Liberia. They obviously came from within the ranks of American slaves that adopted or were more likely forced to use this name in place of their African names (see Alex Haley's Roots). I am curious of whom is recorded among the first African-Americans to use English surnames and of what areas and families they originated.
Did African societies trade enslaved people?
You have to realize that Africa,just like Europe,is not a country.It's a continent made made up of different countries and ethinc groups.So you have to understand that the "Africans" were not selling "their fellow countrymen" (for the most part,though some condemned criminals would get traded as an alternative to execution),"their brothers and sisters","their own people"etc.. When white traders asked the ethnic groups on the coast (like Ashanti,Oyo,Dahomey,Bakong,etc.they couldn't meet anyone in the interior) to to trade captives,they accepted because not only was it about money(as many people seem to believe that it was only about greed),but also a chance to get rid of their enemies and to expand their kingdoms,and the whites were giving them guns to capture people.There was also an arms race called the gunslave cycle where ethnic groups who were in trade with whites were scared that they would not be able to protect themselves from other trading ethnic groups if they didn't have enough guns(it was easier to attack another group with guns rather than spears) .That's something that white traders can be blamed for. Also,people in those days did not have a concept of race that they would have later on.(European countries at war didn't think they were fighting their own people either) And Africans,contrary to popular belief, were not the only race where people "sold their own race" to another race.White people in Europe sold other whites to Arab Abbasids. And Africans,contrary to popular belief,were not the only race to practice slavery,white slavers used other whites prior to using blacks.Also while "Africans sold Africans" These whites sold,bought,traded,transported and shipped and held whites,so they did alot more to their race than blacks did to theirs.Most people insist that Africa was the only continent to have slavery yet the word slave comes from slav,so obviously things weren't always so peachykeen with whites in Europe.Most "slavery" in Africa,just like Europe,was debt payments and prisoners of war.There really wasn't slavery comparable to the chattel plantation slavery that white slavers had in the Americas.Since whites were practicing slavery on other whites in Europe I really don't understand what point alot of people are making when they say "Africans had slavery in Africa before whites ever came there".Slavery is still in existance on all continents,including Europe,not just Africa(though it's nothing like American plantation slavery).

Which religion is most peaceful?
all people say their religion is the most peaceful, but I say there is none that is peaceful. One may say that they do not participate in war and yet they have domestic violence at home. One religion may say they are affirming of all people yet share hateful memes on the internet of another ethinc group of communities of people. One may say they follow God and yet do things that are against what the bible teaches. There is none who are perfect and none who follow after God like they should. I would say that when people do these things and fight other religious peoples, that there is no religion that is peaceful.

What are three major ethinc groups of south America?
The census, the majority of the population continues to be classified as white (49.9%), brown as a considerable portion (43.2%) and a very small number as black (6.3%). Fact is, genetically, Brazil has a population whose origins are African, European and indigenous, and not "white" nor "black" or "brown"as the census: 86% of Brazilians have more than 10% African genes, and the European heritage is dominant. That is, only 14% of Americans would be genetically white, a figure almost 50% lower than the census of the IBGE. The motivation of most Brazilians classify themselves as white in the census, is a product of veiled racism rooted in the culture of the country, which is imposed by the media a Caucasian standard of beauty.
