Side note:
Bequai (Carib word for island of the clouds) in the Grenadines - the last remaining settlement in the Caribbean. Others were forcefully removed from the Caribbean and placed in South America and other places or into slavery or murdered.Little known fact many Islands and even the word Caribbean are Carib ancestral names. Other islands have since been renamed by the Spanish/British and French.
We inhabited the lesser Antilles for centuries you may not see our islands on google maps unless you know the names of the many islands but in the UK it doesn't matter they're only two boxes "Black British/Black Caribbean".
My 10 year old daughter submitted a paper about our ancestry and islands and the level of ignorance at her school that she was met with by British white & BLACK Caribbean was staggering. They even called her a liar. She came home and broke down in tears. So I showed her how to educate them and find the islands on google maps to educate them that we exist and here are our islands and here is our history.
Anyway back on topic:
Whether Carib or not they're only 2 boxes. Not one for Carib
either one affects me the same "Black Lives Matter" or at least everyone thrown into that box lives knowing that our reality is different to yours. There is only one race - The Human race.
Interesting which island are your family from?
