I noticed most of The Coli doesn't know that a person just needs 1 parent to be FBA for that person to be labeled FBA

[Plankton]

I've noticed this for years but it came to a head a few weeks ago when a poster called Malcolm X a "tether." I had to school that person that Tariq Nasheed made up the term FBA and "tether" but according to Tariq from his own FBA website, a person just needs 1 parent to be FBA for that person to be labeled FBA. And being that Malcolm Xs dad is FBA then Malcolm X is FBA. This lack of knowledge towards the exact definition of FBA was further confirmed in that Tariq vs Luke thread. So let this thread be the confirmation.


Read it for yourself:

Episode 9: Know Your Strengths - Haitian/American & Documenting Greener Pastures

When tracing your ancestry, it’s important to know your strengths. Each of us has a unique set of skills that can be put to use when exploring our family history. Today, we will discuss how one woman did just that and learned so much about herself & her identity in the process.


Building on last week’s episode, we'll discuss the implications of slavery outside of the United States. We previously explored the ways that Haiti’s feat of becoming the first Black Republic influenced Blacks in the diaspora; the glorious battle for freedom and independence ignited conversation about Black people everywhere.


Our previous guest, historian Dr. Brandon Byrd discussed the ways in which Haiti, as an ideal, shaped the imagination on what freedom could look like for Black people as a whole. And, Blacks began to contemplate Black Internationalism in a real way. Specifically, Black Americans traveled to other countries, including Haiti, to find reprieve from American racism & oppression.


Yet despite Haiti’s accomplishment and impact on the dreams of enslaved and newly freed people - over time, relations between Black Americans and Haitians became strained.


Our guest today, Natalie Claire Holly knows all too well the impact of that strain. In fact, she is the human story embodying so many of the academic themes discussed in Dr. Byrd’s research.

Through her work as a filmmaker, she learned of her great(x3) grandfather's legacy as an American and as a Haitian:

James Theodore Holly (1829-1911)

First Black American bishop in the Episcopal Church.

Bishop Holly was born free on October 3, 1829 in Washington D.C., and he came from a family of formerly enslaved Black Americans. During his adolescents, Bishop Holly was trained in the craft of boot-making and he also received a private education. But, as is often the result of educating the oppressed, the more he learned, the more he realized the social constraints placed on his freedom.

In an attempt to escape this oppression, he and his family moved further and further North (going all the way to Canada), assuming that racism was rooted in the American South. He quickly realized the flaw in his logic—racial oppression would exist anywhere that black people were not considered free and equal citizens. So he decided to seek greener pastures in a land where black people had been free for decades - The Black Republic.

I made this thread because I noticed the majority of posters on The Coli who go extra hard to wave the FBA flag don't even know it's actual definition. I've seen the comment "They should stay out of FBA business" used towards biracials with 1 African American parent. Dudes on here using a term they don't even know the definition for and they been ignorant of the definition for 5 years. It's pretty hilarious.
