Black People Are The Original Indians, Arawak or Taino people or indigenous blacks From Florida

Anytime black ppl try to connect/ bond with other ethnicities of black people white ppl get upset when they have nothing to do with it. A white man got upset because my aunt said I was black being I’m afro Latina… he wanted to claim me as half white person because he thought I was super gorgeous… he said my mom must’ve slept with a white man and lied about who my dad was… because I’m lighter skinned with a red tone and I have shiny black curls so ppl assume I’m biracial when I’m indeed just ethnicity ambiguous being I’m Hispanic.

just because somone is brown...does not mean they are "black"

this is like a black equivilent of saying all asian races are identical.

[eugeniomontanez]

This is insulting. I hate that slavery erased all our taíno peoples past and we can have anyone ignorant person trying to claim my heritage.

Stop Appropriating Native American History and Culture..

I am 100% Indigenous American, my family are in our tribe, know our culture and we own our ancestral lands from North Carolina all the way to Mississippi. So NOBODY can tell me shit!😂🤷🏽‍♀️

[allaboutthatbass]

Idk where this bs comes from cause my grandmother was 75% taino, 25% african blood. She was dark but she wasn't black or had features of an African person.

Arawak ppl was from Jamaica originally. The native of Jamaica that disappeared due to slavery being brought to Jamaica by the British.

Black is not a race, it's a color. The copper color races are various colors of brown, dark brown, copper. More Indigenous people are waking up.

[leafvillage]

Lmaooo y’all can’t be Native Americans, Israelites, and Egyptians all at the same time 😂

[Krakayoa]

Black people using an E-list tv drama for historical evidence explains a whole lot of things actually

[flyingfin]

Sorry Arawak are not originally black.We were native Indian.with tan skin and straight, black hair and dark, slanty eyes.

First Cleopatra
Now this?
Holy goodness

[crespo]

We need to rethink the term "black". Black implies African but arawak were not African descendents

[jdjacobo]

As a REAL Mojave Native, I can say that this tagline is inaccurate as f***. 😂

[deondria]

It’s so crazy that they acknowledge aboriginal Australians, Melanesians, East Asians, indigenous asli etc as dark skinned people with no relations to Africa but yet it’s so hard to fathom that black Americans aren’t.

[jennifervan]

Stop using Afrocentrism as a source.
It's like white people saying they're the original egyptians.
Y'all are both goofy.

Sincerely a half indigenous/Amerindian woman

[AndrewJM]

yall starting to sound like the Dominicans yall love to condemn. 😂 "i no black, i dominican"

[LarryKidder-br]

This is totally disrespectful to the real native American such as myself I am Cherokee and there was a huge difference between your culture in mind you cannot claim somebody Elsa's culture

[caleblikesdeadfries]

Coming from a Puerto Rican. No, the “Arawak” Taino people were not black. Though the two races mixed later in time. The two peoples(Arawak & African) would have had no idea of eachothers existence until after Christopher Colombus would’ve landed in the Caribbean and the Spanish and others would eventually come and settle.

The natives in the picture have thin straight soft hair. I don’t see any nappy kinky hair
