I am a FBA! FBAs are not calling themselves African Americans anymore — because you see the REmixing of that term!
Elon Musk is NOT an African American lol!
Some people just talk because most people don’t say their ethnicity first especially white peoples but they identify other peoples who are not white but white peoples celebrate their ethnicity I guess you people don’t know about St Patrick celebrated by the Irish Americans and the people in Ireland, how about Italian so calling yourself Jamaican is ok even if you are born in the USA of Jamaican parents.
Elon is not a African American he is not a African even if he was born in South Africa to be African you must be of African descent white peoples in South Africa don’t call themselves African they got many different classes and people who are not native African don’t call themselves African even mixed heritage has their own class.
Where you are born is your nationality.
Thank god FBA is starting to wake up,and delineate,we need to be our own island 🏝
You dont have our lineage,like we dont have yours,thats why its impossible for you to be a foundational black American,just like we can't be a Jamaican.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I’M Black but in my opinion your NOT A REAL BLACK person if you marry, date or babyup a wite or wite looking Latina. Just my personal opinion! 🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾
Elon Musk is not African American. Isn’t he Canadian and Dutch?
How the hell is Elon musk a african american?? He grew up and was culturized South African. Ignorance is bliss
FBA all day! ❤
identity crisis like a muthafuka.
The Government delineates and preserves statistics on every race. Your proclivity to suffer certain disease can be based on your DNA.
In the 1820s African Americans started to relocate to Haiti because memorilized in Haitian constitution is an article that stated any AFRICAN persons that comes to Haiti would be free. Haiti applied to be a part of the African Union. In response, the African Union created the 6th Region ( the Diaspora). Have you not heard of Afro-Cubans, Afro-Brazilians, the vice president of Colombia, Francia Elena Márquez Mina, is an Afro-Colombian. Bob Marley, the Jamaican, wrote a song called Africa Unite (because your children want to come home). Marcus Garvey, said Africa for the Africans, and he was Jamaican.
FBA ALL DAY
Just say you're American.
That’s how I’ve always address myself when the subject comes up. Foundation black American.
How about just "AMERICAN" 😊
Pepsi is a brand. Ford is a brand. African American is a BRAND!! HAITIAN is a Nationality. Jamaicans from Jamaica. Italians from Italy. Chinese from China. Columbians from Columbia.
Its because we were brought here as someones property. Pharoah won't let Yah;s people go.They know we are Israelites by heritage. Its us who need to wake up!
Because Jamaica is black dominant. American release the chain and using their brains.
Indigenous american indian. Confused?
Find Your tribe/ nation in Africa and Call you that like the Irish Americans Italian Americans and sofort do When theyvtalk about heritage
Yes go ahead Call yourself after the slavenasters country and names but yall all come from Africa How stupid
As long as u sit there complaining. U will be separated. Git in where fit in .this platform make u look like a bitch
Who deletes someone's truth? Disgusting. You're so American but you can't even abide by free speach?? Clearly you can't just love an Opressor designated identity, but you've learned your Opressor's ways and need to perpuate self hate onto unsuspecting American Africans who just haven't heard a proud African perspective like mine.
My family is from Belize and St. Croix and of African decent even though Belize 🇧🇿 is in Central America and I havent traced my roots!!!! Uneeded I know I'm African and completely pro- afro!
My spouse is from Guyana 🇬🇾 and African Decent his roots are traced back to Ghana & Nigeria even though Guyana is in South America.
You like most 'Blacks' loving and worshiping your Opressor's wealth, names, beaurocrocies among other traps cannot disguise that even Africans in this country don't have the kind of self-hate and self destructive problems 'Blacks' have in this country.
Most 'Blacks' on this land walk around loathing themselves never knowing their true origin and it's evident.
I don't need to follow what Africans do in other parts of the world I'm a leader, not a follower and I was put on this earth for positive change and love.
We were classifed 'Blacks' by a barbaric ruling class and I can never accept their designation plainly, but this discussion amongst us is welcome and their is no denying our origin free existence has had awful implications.
If you'd ever been to Africa you would know you would know its a homecoming in spirit.
Most 'Blacks' have never been to the continent and never know self-love bc they are originless.
Africans are the most diverse and coldest impactful culture including even American Africans and EVERYONE should be proud to be African.
It's crazy how dumb y'all are.
They know where they came from and we are and allow is to be pigeon holed.
Here in Guyana we have Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese but generally people say black and indian
They don't have to because they don't have European Americans trying to hold them back dumbass
No reparations then
NO BRUH🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ #FBA
It’s all about installing hate, divide and conquer, and it’s deliberate.
Read Thomas Sowell people, he will set you free from the plantation.
Jamaicans have there own country… when you get your own country, you can do like them. Your full humanity had to be voted on to go from 3/5 to whole.
Elon born in africa grow up in africa
You are Americans, period, the over labeling of people these days is portrayed as righteous but is in fact a way to further segregate us as a whole. The easiest way to control the population is to perpetuate the feelings that we are not the same or have to be put in groups, we may have seperate beliefs, cultures, looks, but we are all just people and should be proud to be a part of America as a unit with similar basic beliefs outside of politics. i.e. family values, sense of community, oppurtunity to prosper via hard work and determination, hope for the future generations. I really feel the powers that be are the ones pushing these narratives.
We are indigenous ti this land, so that make us indigenous people if this land. Book, white cargo
Indigenous Ancestral Land Right? Just a thought.
You’re not American because your people come from somewhere else,you are a U.S. citizen but not American.
