Abby: "So you're technically European since you were born in France right?"
Benita: "Yeah, but I'm afrodes. My mom is from Cuba and my dad, Colombia. And I also used to live in Cuba after moving from France when I was about six years old."

Carlita: "Wait so how are you black but you're Jamaican and Cuban?"
Naomi : "Well I guess that was just how I was born haha. And I personally prefer the term afro-des."
Carlita: "Wait what do you mean? Why would you rather be called that than black?"
Naomi : "Well, I am not a color. No one is the color black, or even white haha. Those terms to me are completely outdated, just like "colored" and other inappropriate terminology. So, I would much rather be identified or classified by my inheritance, heritage, and descendance, rather than a color. I just think it's much more appropriate and accurate. And for years, we've used these "white" and "black" terms as if they are supposed to be relative to ethnic and racial groups' skin colors, although we often all come from different complexions and shades regardless of our heritage and racial grouping."

The world-wide, systematic oppression of all people's of African origin, due to Caucasians running all major governments in the world and creating laws that only promote their ideals while simultaneously oppressing the all cultural and social aspects of black life, eventually leading to the conclusion that black people would be better off physically dead than socially dead, like they currently are.
An example of afropessimism would be that this definition won't be accepted due to the oppressive nature of the white man
