mentions it very very briefly at 3:15 but the language is specific, google Foundational Black American and its all Tariq Nasheed or people calling him an agent :dead:

Good interview!


Yea he was using FBA as opposed to African American to reference our ethnicity, but it is a specific term. Not mad at that.

You don’t have to be the biggest Tariq fan OR be against pan-Africanism to understand the importance of the ADOS/FBA term and discussion.
I think it’s clear Coogler works with and has respect for all of Black folks, but knows and understands his his own history.

He doesn't. If Coogler respected black folks of all kind he wouldn't make Mississippi blacks in his film look stupid.

It's 1932 and only 1 person knows about Vampires and NEW ORLEANS IS LITERALLY RIGHT THERE.

Coogler is a Californian negro who worships Hispanic culture under the guise of California culture. He never researches shyt only the bare minimum to get only the least contrived information to work a story around it. That's why his Hoodoo spells in the movie where incomplete.

He is a fraud.

He also thinks black people should always struggle. The original BP2 script called for T'challa basically dealing with being an absentee father because he was dead. He seems like a student of John Singleton.
