Africa does not have the franchise on melanated people or Blackness. Melanated Black people existed all over the world, outside of Africa. Black Americans (FBA) are their own ethnic group—unique, distinct, and indigenous to the Americas. We have a 400+ year legacy that stands on its own. ✊🏾🔥 #FBA #BlackIndigenous #WeBeenHere #UniqueLineage #CulturalPride
