Even if y'all mistook a Black @mit faculty's jacket as "sports wear," MIT has 33 sports. Why would you assume his sport was basketball?
That's a rhetorical question. We already know why.

#Gullah #Geechee lesson on what our flag means
Black is for the #African people
The black inverted triangle symbolize self-determination
The Haint Blue is a #hoodoo #rootwork color of protection from bad spirits #Haints are bad spirits so #HaintBlue protects us from them
Green is for Land
Gold represents the Sun
The #rice crop represents our ancestors agricultural knowledge
Crab represents Unity, Loyalty and Self Sufficiency
Spears represent the #GullahWars
i am curious about any shared characteristics or practices we have. i am from South Carolina and so is 3/4ths of my family, and the other 1/4 of my family is from from Florida. i don't know them too well due to deaths, but they look like me and also integrate spanish among other things
we (#Gullah and #Seminole) had a settlement in Florida.
we have intermixed but idk how to feel totally because some of us were kept as slaves by the Seminole. we have mixed history, good and bad
is anyone here #seminole #indigenous . i am #Gullah #Geechee and our people have a tied history.
for example we fought a war against white settler colonialists as allies in the Gullah Wars that took place in #SouthCarolina and #Florida (you may know the Florida half of it as the "#SeminoleWars")
