Wait a minute, is it true that 10% of Blacks in America are non-FBA?

So I'm at this justice conference in in the burbs of the Chi. It was Haitian brother who talking about how Plessy was a Haitian (which I didn't know). Then this Nigerian woman came and said that out of the 12% of Blacks that are here. 10% are non-FBA (Jamaican, Haitian, African, etc). Is this true or is this :duck: ?

She was being misleading

It’s out of the 40 million 10% are non fba. Most concentrated in specific metropolitan areas

In the broadest since of the word by including every Black person with any non US blood down to the 5th generation yes.

I mean Homer Plessy was called Homer Plessy maybe his great great grandmoms was an Semana American


They are FBA people who "ran" to Haiti escape slavery just like the FBA who "ran" to Canada because they wanted to get free.

It gets very nuanced I mean if it's a Lineaged based thing who are these people?



The alleged "brehito" corrected his amigo on his own name Not Jamie Kelly but James Kelly. But homie has a Dominican Passport.

Most statistics don’t count 2nd and 3rd generation.

Only recent 1st generation immigrants. That’s why the number is so “low”.
Exactly. Amara Le Negra's kids have Dominican Heritage on both sides but will probably just check Black on the census.

Safari's kids will be counted as Black as will Nikki Menaj's kids too.

10% of black people in this country are immigrants (actual immigrants not thecoli definition). If you add their kids however I believe it's closer to 20%. Even then overall most non FBAs are only in large numbers in certain areas/cities in the US.

Damn I would thought anywhere from 30-50%

I might be buggin but 10% sounds wild low regardless

Not really America really doesn't let black folks immigrate to the country like that. I know through an African homie it's mad hard to get a visa here from Africa even just to visit. Canada might be a different story.

:dahell:

That 10% probably includes their kids. Do y'all really believe these racist ass White people in the USA allowed that many Black people to immigrate here?
