Can you explain that, it’s very confusing. Do they mean the modern day people who are now Puerto Rican because they had native and Moor ancestors? Or are you saying like actual Puerto Ricans? Im so confused by this and have never heard this used as an argument.

Well ya…because it’s nonsense and in no way can be configured to make sense.

You’re putting more thought into it then they do.

For example, “The Negros” (African Americans) are the tribe of Judah and the Haitians are the tribe of Levi and the “West Indies” are the tribe of Benjamin…in the context of how the Transatlanic slave trade worked…What?

Places like Cuba and PR are super multiethnic. What does that even mean “the cubans”? Like, a European colonist, a trafficked slave, and a native Taino are all from the same tribe? Or is it just The Native population? But they were Taino so how are native Dominicans and Cubans and Puerto Ricans (who all would have been Taino) from different tribes for some reason? And that’s not even getting into them somehow being from Israel apparently. How did “The Native Americans” who are from the tribe of Gad get there? Who then were the natives who were there 12,000 years prior while the Tribe of Gad was…not yet existing? What kind of crazy bananas pants history makes this work?

Like I said, none of this makes any sense
