Tariq should definitely refocus on reparations. His lives are now just roast sessions on tethers. The same tethers over and over. It’s gotten low vibrational and repetitive.
Easy views.
Easy views.
taking a picture with somebody means you agree with everything they've ever said
We already have a cultural framework, so there is no need for anyone to do that. Though, I have noticed some other Black ethnicities also like to claim that Black Americans have no culture.
As for the Place of origin, what do you mean by that? What does the place of origin have to do with it? I request more clarification on that point. I don't want to assume on what you are trying to state with that.
Tariq and Yvette may be the faces of it, and that is unfortunate, but they are not the totality of it. Just like Dr. Umar Johnson is a major face of US Pan-Africanism, but he is not the totality of that movement either. As long as some means of making money off an ideology is possible, even if it is only through donations, there will always be a grifter there ready to grift. That does not mean the ideology is wrong, because of said grifters.
Last, even with pointing at the grifters Yvette and Tariq, that still does not explain why it was perfectly fine for many other Black ethnicities to make sure everyone knew they were not Black American, but is not fine for some Black Americans now to agree and state they are right they are not one of us.
I feel like an argument used by non-Black Americans is because there is no homogenous homeland or place where Black Americans are from that we are orphans.
Oh I agree Black Americans definitely should be proud of our ethnic and cultural differences. I'll never dispute that.

Brehhhh we really knew a thread about this!!!!New York dudes cant dress for shyt.
All they know about is slapping on any designer
They really trick the whole country into believing they are innovators. Smh
Well, that homeland is the US. When our people have been in a place for over 400 years, and before the advent of the country itself, then that place becomes our homeland. The simple truth is that unless you are a member of the San People, your ancestors migrated to some parts of the world where they now claim they are from. I believe 400 years is definitely enough time for our people to claim they are from here, while also recognizing our anscetors came from elsewhere (Parts of Africa).
Edit: Our ancestors built the US, it is in some cases more ours than any other group but the native Americans.
I don't disagree with any of that. My father's people are from Maryland and the Carolina's. I already know. What I'm saying is that's the line used against us. Since we don't really run anything here. (though the same can be said for Africans in some instances and Black Caribbeans as well) I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just bringing to you the arguments. Made.
That aside what would you say the tenets of thF cultural framework are?
I prefer to direct you towards books you can read for yourself. You can go deeper if you are curious about the subject with books by James Baldwin and so on.
