Original caption

Maybe we need to define some of these terms so that people can stop getting confused— skin color and tone is irrelevant it’s about geological origin the only people on this earth referred to as BLACK are black Americans the BLACK DIASPORA IS the many BLACK AMERICAN cultures here in America as we have been moved around, misplaced, and known prisoners of war in THIS COUNTRY— Caribbean and Africa have their own diaspora who have CHOSEN to pick up and displace themselves it’s COMPLETELY DIFFERENT #fba
