You could be mad at Tariq as much as you want, but they just isn’t any proof that the so-called diaspora would support reparations for ADOS/FBA

I know you don't think you're worth taking seriously. You're still scared to even verify that you're Black. And you're a Trump supporter on top of that.You were happy just being "regular black" and didnt understand the importance of lineage or the concept of ethnicity. Stfup
Dude talking about lineage and the concept of ethnicity like this particular "movement" is serious. It is a personality cult and nothing more.
so are you saying ADOS/FBA aren’t dramatically opposed to white supremacy ?
This is an odd reach

What do you identify as fed talk
show me a better identifier than fba. Make it make sense
Some of the replies in this thread are absolutely ridiculous.
"FBA needs to link up with the diaspora so that we all can create political change."
This is flat out silly thinking. To give an example, Nigeria has 200 million people, and they control their land/resources for the most part. Why would 200 million people who own and can control their own resources need 40 million people to "enact political change"? To even suggest people that own and can control their land needs an outside group that doesn't control the power structure in their country just exemplifies extreme incompetence.
And FBA don't need a bunch of people that can barely survive on a landmass they can control and have the population numbers, but still struggling to survive and thrive. Japan has less resources, and less manpower than Nigeria, and had 2 atomic bombs dropped on their heads. FBA ancestors were enslaved for 240+ years, outnumbered and outgunned, constantly having our shyt jacked from us, etc... If you can't move & shake where you are, you are essentially useless.
"FBA is a CIA opp meant to infiltrate and destroy the pan-African movement."
The pan-African movement is 100+ years old and failed 40+ years ago (and I am being generous here). It's just a bunch of cats in daishiki's talking about a bunch of conspiratorial nonsense, spookism, beefing with each other, and more talking. Pan-Africanism hasn't amounted to a damn thing in America. No solutions, no strategies, no money being pooled together, no jobs for Black people, no nothing but a bunch of babbling bullshyt.
The Pan-African "movement" is doing nothing to warrant the CIA/FBI to infiltrate and disrupt it. Nothing has come of it in 100 years.

I don't need to "show you a better identifier" to point out that FBA, as it exists today, is a disorganized, personality-driven cult, that's constantly derailed by drama. An identifier only matters *if* the people behind it are serious, disciplined, and focused. Tariq Nasheed is not. His followers aren't, either.
And I identify as what I actually am: a Black American, descended from the people who built this country under slavery and Jim Crow. That's just reality, not a brand, not a hashtag, not a label created by someone looking to make a buck off us and our history. Just a Black American.
If you want something stronger than that, build something stronger. The name isn't necessarily the problem. The behavior is. Naming and recognizing specific histories is not divisive -- it's necessary -- and can coexist with pan-Black solidarity in a much more honest way, but this FBA thing? It is not something serious, because the person behind it is someone unserious.
Prof James Small is definitely correct
It seems easier to support reparations than doing the hard long term work of self improvement education and internal infrastructure to not need it. Other communities did it because they had to and it seems like the ados crowd isn’t interested in even entertaining anything other than this singular utopian suggestive all-fix.

Explain how tariq nasheed is not focused when hes the biggest platform on social media calling out white supremacy
If you identify as a black American, you should have no problem with identifying as a "foundational" black american
your too busy being a democrat-american thats your ethnicity. And you were happy with that

We as a black people disagree in public way too much. James Smalls could have got on the phone with Tariq and hashed this out or vice versa. These 3rd party trolls who are panny when convenient are orchestrating this chaos behind the scenes.
Tariq pointed out something about panny and non FBA that any righteous person could see. That doesn’t make him the leader. That doesn’t make him an agent.
FBA/Freedmen/Ados is out the barn we have identified ourselves and either get down or lay down.
