Shannon and Ocho speak about Camron saying he’s African American not African. Comment’s definitely agree with FBA.

[TEH]

Yes ADOS is and should be recognized as a black ethnic group … anyone disagreeing with this is an agent … obviously …

This will not get in the way of global black unity aka the only way to defeat white supremacy …

Fukc it. I'll do it.

Most people who came through slavery are not 100% African. I would guess the percentage of descendants of slaves who in 2024 have 100% African DNA is close to zero.

What AMERICAN descendants of slaves are is part of a larger group of descendants of slaves.

I call the geographic area the 'New World'. The Americas and the Caribbean. Slave ships brought African slaves to all parts of the New World. Some stopped in Jamaica. Some stopped in Brazil.

And almost all of us who descended from them are mixed to some degree with European and Americas Natives (including all "Indians" in North and South America).

Dominicans have a stereotype where they claim they're not Black but Latin. People think Puerto Rican is a non Black race unto itself.. but they have the same mix as the rest. Different percentages which result in "light skinned" and "good hair" in some.

The shared experience we have and the shared DNA mix makes us something different enough from African, that it deserves a separate word to describe it.

Call it what you want. Most people globally call it "Niqqer". Which I believe is especially directed at slave descendants moreso than to describe Black people generally (including pure Africans).

Now let's look at the effect that we have created. Civil Rights was US. And people globally piggyback off of OUR blood sweat and tears to fight for freedom. Our art is globally revered and copied. Our slanguage. Our style. Our aesthetic. Our athletes. Our hustlers.

EVERYONE on the globe is impacted by our expression and almost everyone follows our cultural movements.

Deserves a separate word to describe it. To describe US.

I been toying with New World Creole. As a way to capture the idea.

No such thing as slave ships

There are black people all over the world with separate cultures based on nationality. 3 generations of lineage in a region outside of your Homeland is pretty much going to induct you into a new cultural identity

Of course.

This world is wicked

I really wish Black folks could really understand what's going on. Stop letting these people trick you out what's rightfully yours.

 

[LuuqMaan]

Black Americans have every right to claim their culture and everyone else wants to take bite of that culture n FBA are not allowing it.

Name crossed off.

Shannon and Ocho are talking about it cause they talk about whatever's stirring traffic for the week. "FBA" is in the comments cause that's what they do. It's youtube. Somebody's praying to Shannon for a "FBA" shoutout

Crying like a little bytch in every FBA related thread isn't going to stop the FBA discussion that's trending worldwide.

You gotta forgive me breh, I've never seen "FBA" on youtube comments in my life this is unprecedented

 

[Wally West]

He’s right except for the African part, we were here already just like it was melanted folk indigenous to every continent, everybody that’s “black” isn’t from Africa

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Dude said "no slave ships" like that's proof. Not none of the experiences people who made that passage recorded of that journey. All that shyt apparently was made up. He must be one of those "native" brehs

Imagine your ancestors living through such a thing as being shuttled across the world in shakles for you to generations later dismiss it like it never happened. What a fukking time to be alive.
