@HeadlineHOUSE Did they tell you this?

@CCFreedmen It’s probably because not all Caribbean people are Black; if it had explicitly been “Afro-Caribbean Heritage Month,” your statement may have held some argumentative weight.

@Beringia2023 @AAmerica111 Two things can be true. Nearly all Melungeon families descend from Black men and white women.

That said, any Native ancestry that these families have would probably not show up on a DNA test simply due to the lack of a genetic base for most VA, NC, MD, etc. Indians.

@GeezyPeasy @AAmerica111 Wrong. They wouldn’t have show up in a DNA breakdown as Europeans.

@FreeCarolinian @hbfromkc_ Some black people enjoy dysfunctional behavior. They oppose authority, rules, standards of any kind. They interpret it as a threat. See how angry she is?

Any expectation of dignity or pride in self is an affront to their personal freedoms. The concept of standards offends them.

@HasanHarri16833 @GodKingJustice RBGs failing to open a school strongly suggests any “country” they whip together will surely be a failure.

@Xavtherage Have you no idea what traditional clothing means?

[⛓️‍💥 @FreeCarolinian]

@Xavtherage Black people were practicing sartorial expression as early as the eighteenth century during slavery—no tacky colors.

Expression has absolutely nothing to do with money; you’re conflating it with class signaling and aspiration.

@Xavtherage Believe me, the Washingtons definitely stood out in their clothes.

How odd of you it is to say that people “were trying not to stand out or be different” by wearing their best garments.

Do you think sartorial expression began only when colorful textiles became widely available?

[⛓️‍💥 @FreeCarolinian]

@hbfromkc_ Also, no one said you were harming anyone by looking ridiculous in public. On a related note, there’s no reason why I should have to define the terms “faux pas” and “gaucherie” to a grown woman.

[⛓️‍💥 @FreeCarolinian]

@hbfromkc_ No one “made up” any rule; that is literally their sole function.

And why must everything be so violent? Do you really think it’s rational to want to harm someone because of headwear, no matter how ghetto the presentation?

[⛓️‍💥 @FreeCarolinian]

@PunishedEwiger @BWLH_ Jefferson himself had a second family consisting entirely of mulattoes… literally everyone knows this.

@leebbees And now, you’re doing it to each other.

Is this that 1804 revolutionary spirit y’all love to brag about?

@mama_mia_09 So, you can wear their hair, but they can’t do your goofy dances?

@MelaninDominant She just rattled off a list of things that are commonplace and wholly attainable for Black people in America.

“You can’t live like this in America,” she says, as she lives a regular life.

[⛓️‍💥 @FreeCarolinian]

@BWLH_ Well, that’s unrealistic, especially considering most Black Americans have roots here far deeper than the majority of whites.

Also, you’re conflating racial notions with class behavior; there were a significant portion of Blacks who wanted nothing to do with the lower sort.
