Trying to understand...FBA clan- Are yall saying you've been here so long that the African ties are no longer relevant..or ya'll never were African?

[Eternally Jaded]

Just was reading that thread based on the tweet where people complained about certain imagery in a particular scene in Sinners and I wasn't sure what the acknowledged FBA stance is.

Not trying to start a fight, just trying to understand the positioning of the movement.

To anyone who is antagonistic towards the FBA enclave here, either stay out or keep it courteous. I'm tired of nonsense cluttering up threads.

Thanks in advance for any and all input

Depends on who you ask. I’ve seen both reasons, I go more with the former than the latter.

Y'all really hate something and don't even comprehend why u hate something

Fba/ados has said the whole time that since we don't kno what tribe or what country in Africa we come from we are a separate group

We never said we didn't have DNA that was African or mainly African, we are a admixture people.


We built America and all our ancestors are from here

So we claim America

in the delineation discourse, the first option makes the most sense, as long as it's respectful.

but the 'we are choctaw and black foot indians' crowd are weird
they believe slavery never happened, DNA is fake
africans can't be brown skin or grow an afro

Breh, i made this thread because I saw people on the Twitter thread saying they(FBA) were indigenous to America.

I just wasn't sure if that was the official position or a fringe element.

And why would I hate what's part of me? My maternal side is FBA down to the socks.

Thanks for the clarification tho.

This is what I assumed it was as well, but there were more than a few saying indigenous and i got confused.

Why are you folks so obsessed with how we define ourselves?

 

[Brolic]

We are indigenous to this land and our genetics are more similar to Europeans than Africans.
