    He’s referring, very specifically, to understanding the difference in the US betweenthe terms poc and colored people.

    “You’re probably not African American” meaning you’re prob not a black person in America descended from slavery directly impacted by this incident and therefore don’t understand the exact argument here.

    He wasn’t saying all black people are African Americans 🙄
