Why is it so difficult for people to understand that Black Americans are from America??
I was speaking with my Jamaican friend & she just couldn’t understand the concept of us being from America and I’m like why is it so hard for ppl to grasp, we were taken against our will and brought here 400 years ago and we have since created a WHOLE culture (that has influenced America and THE WORLD) here. This is our home. What’s even crazier is I told her that her ancestors have only been in Jamaica for the same amount of time, she says that her ancestors weren’t slaves 💀. I just don’t get it???
