“I am A Foundational Black American” - Ryan Coogler

[Tair]

I don't have a great word for us

I use FBADOS just to distance myself from K Flexible

our ancestors used:

Freedmen/Free Negroes/ Negro

I use "American Freedman", personally.

 

[Pure Water]

Question for the folks here. What's the difference from African American, FBA, and ADOS?

We've been using African American as group name since the 80s I think. What's wrong with that name? It's the same shyt no?

Elon Musk is from South Africa and is a citizen of the US, friend.

it is a misnomer because we aren't African.

ANd to bring yourself closer to Yvette

I like that

 

[Ghost Utmost]

ANd to bring yourself closer to Yvette

I don't know much about these people (other than what y'all say on here). I feel like Yvette is prolly better than K Flexible, but to me that's a very low bar.

Yet, I don't wanna "follow" her either. I combine them to show that, and plus, y'all know what I mean when I type it out.

 

[Still Benefited]

It's still fukk FBA and Tariq Nasheed


Dudes in this world don't stand for something or have faith in it until a celebrity/entertainer speaks on it

That's how adolescents act- which is an insult to them, because at least adolescents are sincere in their insecurity

To be a so called man and act like that?

Pathetic is being generous.

FBA also stands for Finally Bushed Abruptly


Enjoy your time on the slow servers. It will teach you a valuable lesson to think before you rush to type and hit reply

 

[DrBanneker]

Is it true that Tariq owns the patent to FBA ?

[Kingofthereal]

Why can’t we claim FBA but immigrants can come here and be LOUD about their lineage? If you got a problem with fba you’re weird!

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

I don't like how Coogler is adopting the term. The focus on our unique history and claims is valid. I get the intention, our lineage deserves recognition, but that term was created and trademarked by a grifting piece of shyt who's done more harm than good in the name of "FBA." His ego, clout-chasing, and constant beefs, has derailed any real advocacy efforts.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

fukk FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS?



​

He obviously wasn't talking about Black Americans as a people, but the nomenclature used by that grifting piece of shyt Tariq Nasheed. If he was bushed for that, he shouldn't have been.

If he said ADOS you would have said the same thing.

So are you now going to CANCEL Ryan Coogler for following a so called "grifter" in Tariq?

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

If he said ADOS you would have said the same thing.

Yes, because both "FBA" and "ADOS" are toxic. Tariq and Yvette are not people I'd ever rally under. The *ideas* behind lineage-based advocacy are valid. The leaders and the brands? Not so much.
