When I saw this event on the news today, it made me sick to my stomach, I thought what cretins, of the worst kind.

This brought up memories of when Brent Kennedy and the Melungeon Heritage Association, claimed the people who were called 'Melungins' were of Turkish descent.

That 'theory' was never proven to be fact. It was a fairy tale.

All this has not gone away, if you do a Google search of 'melungeons, turkey' you get over 28,000 matches , see for yourself :  'melungeons, turkey'

Even after the association between the MHA and the ATAA was discovered, there wasn't a peep from the MHA, not a word, nor from Kennedy or his family. Was an apology in order ?

The only person who had the common decency to make a public apology was Mr. Wayne Winkler, a self identified Melungeon, which can be read here: Wayne Winkler apology

This has gone way too far, the descendant's of the people who were called Melungeons, don't deserve this, shame on both Brent Kennedy and the Melungeon Heritage Association for not making public apologies
    That's my 2 cents....

DNA Study Busts Myth that One Million Appalachians are of Turkish Descent

DNA Study Busts Myth that One Million
Appalachians are of Turkish Descent

For decades, Turkish pseudo-historians and propagandists have made bizarre claims about Turks being the ancestors of various ethnic groups around the world, including Native Americans, African-Americans, and the strangest of all -- Melungeons -- a little-known group of dark-skinned residents of Appalachia.

To counter Armenian political activities in Washington, the Turkish government regularly reaches out to anyone who could be co-opted with all-expense paid trips, special gifts, and other financial inducements, including funding studies and conferences on the alleged Turkish origin of Melungeons. Even though these one million Appalachians do not carry much political clout in Congress, Ankara is interested in claiming them to be of Turkish descent, hoping to strengthen its political and economic clout in the United States.

The Turkish initiative faced one ‘minor’ problem: there was no evidence that Melungeons were descendants of Turks. This issue was easily resolved when the Turkish government provided a “research grant” to a Melungeon named N. Brent Kennedy. In April 1995, he flew to Istanbul and wrote a book alleging that hundreds of captured Ottoman sailors were dumped on the shores of North Carolina by Sir Francis Drake in the 16th century!

Kennedy compiled a long list of “amazing” similarities between Turks and Melungeons, such as eating beef and mashed potatoes, the habit of hugging each other, Appalachian quilts having Ottoman designs, Anatolian folk dancers performing square dance, and Turkish music sounding like bluegrass! He discovered that the Turkish word “neyaygara” sounds like Niagara, “dilhah yer” is pronounced Delaware, “tenasuh” means Tennessee, “kan tok” is Kentucky, and “allah bamya” is Alabama!
