This.
nikkas really think slavery only happened in America and the Islands of the Caribbean smh
Hell, most think the Caribbean is only islands and don’t even know the Caribbean Mainland exists lol
The Caribbean Mainland is in the North of South-America.
Which is Suriname, Guyana, French-Guiana, stretching all the way to Colombia and Venezuela.
There are more Black people in Colombia (4.5M) alone than in Jamaica lol.
Colombia is in Latin-America, but has a Caribbean coast.
Most Black Colombians (Afro-Colombians) live at the Caribbean coast of Colombia because of slavery.
Cartagena and Barranquilla are clear examples of CARIBBEAN cities on the coast of Colombia. Meaning they’re Latin AND Caribbean at the same time.
Very different than other parts in Colombia which are solely Latin.
Uneducated and untraveled nikkas think that’s not possible.
Media centering lighter over darker Latin people plays a huge part in what people think a “Latin” person should look like. They think the average Latin person looks like Jennifer Lopez, which is not true.
