I'm just trying to understand the outlines of the identity.
Do you feel you're being attacked?

A good brother posing a thoughtful question, but will be met with unthoughtful responses.

FBA is not a movement, FBA is a lineage.
This guy asking this question like he has an immigrant background.....oh well I'm not surprised, he has an immigrant background
No 
As of today they are admitting we ARE Africans in America
You just gotta find some reason to throw "FBA" in after rhe fact and it's all good
the filmography made the case buy Ryan Coogler is undoubtedly a GOAT at this stage

Everyone on the planet descended from Africa.
FBA is the same as Jamaican, Haitian, belizean, Bajan, just our special cultural experience and lineage. Stop trying to flat black us and allow everyone to celebrate their experiences except us. fukk THAT.

Yeah breh, because when my mother met my father she didn't ask him for a kinkos printout of his recent ancestry nor did she pull out a measuring tape to gauge his hairline placement.FBA is not a movement, FBA is a lineage.

I've never hid my roots, but my maternal grandmother was a Blackshear outta Stone Mountain, Georgia, and I grew up hanging more with my southern relatives than anyone else.
You see how I asked a thoughtful question but your response was to simply attack my background?
Speaks volumes about you.

Us delineating really got the diaspora in shambles. Shouldāve taken our olive branch when we were offering pan Africanism. Now FBA is in mainstream media and no going back 
Neither of the poll options.
Like others said there are many different groups making a lot of noise, but claiming the same label.
I think the most common sense out of all the noise is simply saying that they are an ethnic group that needs a name to distinguish them since apparently "black" "black american" "African american" are now all being used in a racial context versus an ethnic context (as opposed to historically when African american was used ethnically i.e. AAVE refering to a specific group of people). So you have a dynamic where immigrants can identify with their national heritage and all the three terms (because they are black, or african, and american), but so called FBA have no distinguishing ethnonym.
These people are being drowned out by the pretendians and Nasheed people. It also doesn't help that there was not really a coherent movement addressing the above, so the nasheed people capitalized on this via grifting.
The idea is if AA is going to be used as synonymous with Black and Black American in a racial context, then a distinct name is needed in an ethnic context. So would still be under the racial umbrella, but a distinct ethnic subset alongside the other 'jamaican american, nigerian american, etc''. I supposed you can imagine how the re-imagined census would look.
