@whoz_thatChick @DcaHomie_02 It's an academic term. Most people don't use academic terms in their day to day casual speech.

@Gear4Four @whoz_thatChick British. The term started in Britain. Its not used by West Indians. Its used to classify West Indians who are of African descent. Countries outside of Carribean classify as major races. Caucasian/European/ white, black/African, Asian.

@whoz_thatChick I've started using it bc some african people here get mad when we say we are carribeans, not africans.
At least now, they know I dont reject my ancestry and they leave me alone 🤷🏾♀️

Americans speaking for Caribbean / West Indians (however they self identify) and vice versa.
Two different set of cultures are very much different. Maybe sharing a few similarities and or influences.
People tend to confuse by race, identity, and ethnicity. I am into confusion.

@whoz_thatChick Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, I’ve always referred to myself as Afro-Trinidadian. Maybe because half of the country are Indo-Trinidadian, but that’s how I mostly identify.

A lot of people West Indies are mixed and they are black. The Africans assimilated with the Natives. Facts are facts.
We don't differentiate unless you are European white.

Dating to the Hellenistic period (300-200 BC), this beautifully crafted gold medallion features the ancient sea goddess Tethys, a Titaness linked with the nourishing waters of the Earth. She is portrayed in elegant detail, seated on a seahorse, surrounded by stylized waves symbolizing her dominion over oceans and aquatic life.
The medallion exhibits intricate details, including Tethys's finely defined facial features and hair, and the seahorse's scaled body and prominent features. The medallion measures 7 x 6.5cm and weighs 25g, showcasing high level of artistry and metalworking skill of the era. Such pieces were likely worn as symbols of protection, prestige, or devotion, possibly commissioned by elite individuals or gifted during ceremonial occasions.
Currently, held in a private collection, this rare artifact not only reflects the mythological beliefs of ancient Greece but also highlights the sophistication of their jewelry design and symbolism. It's a radiant reminder of how deeply the ancients connected their gods to the forces of nature and how art was used to express reverence, identity, and power.
