Idris Elba's grandfather was Black American?

[LeaveMyHairLineAlone]

HOW?

FBADOS is about lineage!

Some of these clowns should not be taken seriously

 

[Neuromancer]

Would this make him American African?

I mean he was born in Britain so he's a Black American Brit I think

 

[King Sun]

A lot of AAs fought and was stationed throughout Europe

 

[Vandelay]

I guess that's why his American accent isn't that bad.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Nope, I'm 100% Black from The Mother Land

Shut the fukk up tether

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Are you guys familiar with the histories of Liberia or Sierra Leone?

There are hundreds of thousands of people with African American ancestry in those countries.

There’s also many descendants of Afro-Brazilians in Nigeria called Amaros or Agudas.

Whatever country his father was born in wasn’t his tribe/country. It’s wild. He isn’t African. He’s not considered “American”. He probably considers himself a Londoner and doesn’t care for the past.

As proud descendants of African immigrants, Sabrina and Idris are committed to leaving a lasting and positive legacy, one that expands opportunity and access for future generations.

Tragic. His people were stolen from Africa in the 1800’s, “released” after a civil war, became sharecroppers, went through the civil rights movement in the 60’s, decide to move to Africa, bore “African” children, child decides to emigrate to England, finally his father had him.

Global citizen.

I'm a Pan African and think that trying to divide Black People is weird but if you're concerned about Lineage and Family History some people are gonna dip and have children abroad.

Tariq randomly DQ'ed Drake using a straight Blood and Soil argument to small hat Vlad.

So if you have to be both have FBA parents and be born here then Martin Lawrence is not FBA ( born in Germany)

See how weird it gets many many FBAs have been stationed and birthed kids overseas some full Black like Marty Mar and some half Black and just like Drake don't meet the new Blood and Soil definition that Riq did to make Drake literally "not like us"

He conducted a genealogy dna test, and there was no European admixture in his results

Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Trindad, and --like you said-- Liberia, Sierra Leone. All were inhabited by Aframs.

As proud descendants of African immigrants,

Aframs are descendants of Africans and his grandfather was an immigrant to the UK. So he's not wrong.
