I updated my posts with more because I was legit confused about what you're talking about. And you also were confused about what I was talking about. I legit don't even know what you're arguing with me about since you understand that anyone can use the term "African American" in their company or to describe a product in any original manner they choose.

I think you're confused, these trademarks:



That just have the word "African American" in them are about a stylized design. You can come up with your own stylized version of the term "African American" and put it on a shirt, file a similar trademark and nobody can do anything about it. If FBA took off, Tariq could trademark "Foundational Black American" with a stylized font/logo, but he can't stop you from trademarking "Foundational Black American" with a different stylized font/logo. What he could do is sue you if you used his exact same font/logo and put it on a shirt and stop that from happening.


And honestly, even right now I think if you were petty, you could create your own "Foundational Black American" logo, register a trademark for it, put in on a hoodie, sell it on Amazon and probably spank Tariq in court if he tried something because he's made it clear in thousands of hours of video that "Foundational Black American" is a lineage/ethnic moniker and thus "Foundational Black American" would be subject to the same public domain laws as "African American". You could also start a "Foundational Black American inc" business and sell the shirts with them and tell Tariq to do something if your money is long and you got time

Stylizing is just another variation. This is why I knew you were unfamiliar with that Trademark thread. Tariq in true pimp fashion has everything you stated covered. Including stylizing FBA













Designs, books, electronics, music...Tariq has trademarks for every variation possible. Smart man if you ask me. Tariq is going after you in court if you attempt to use Foundational Black Americans in all variations possible. Ain't no government taking nothing because Tariq covered all areas so that the government would be on his side.


So there's no confusion on my end, Tariq trademarking FBA the way he has is totally different from previous ethnic group names that have been trademarked.

He’s a fucc boy but he didn’t deserve his bush

He said fucc FBA and the mods got in they feelings

We need to stop being disingenuous about ppl who are anti FBA

Saying fucc FBA does mean actually mean fucc ppl who are foundational black Americans

It’s literally saying fucc the brain dead followers of Tariq Nasheed only

That’s the problem with Tariq being the face of the movement

Ppl have a problem with him and his little Twitter space cult, but the less intelligent aren’t able to make a distinction
Exactly fukk FBA as a term. I Love my fellow Black americans.

You don't know what side the government would be on if you tried to make some FBA merch today since Tariq has made it very clear that FBA is a lineage that describes a very specific group of people from a very specific region. It depends on how good your lawyer is.

But it's a fact that if FBA started getting official recognition, census spots, etc FBA becomes public domain, just like African American. All this stuff will only possibly hold up right now because this is still a niche idea.

You originally said the government will snatch up Tariqs trademark because you were unaware that he covered all areas of trademark variations. And a bunch of posters who don't like me co signed that lie. Once I showed you he actually did cover all areas of variations using actual receipts and you were forced to acknowledge that lie you originally said was wrong, now all of a sudden you don't know whose side the government would be on. :heh: Hilarious

No, I said this would happen if FBA took off and started being taken as seriously and was as widespread as African American (census designation, you check off an FBA box for job applications, you regularly hear it on TV, colleges started adding FBA to their group studies, etc).

I also said I *think* a good lawyer could probably make that happen today if you got the money to buy one and wanted to shyt on Tariq.

Because you still haven't learned about "genericide", "generic trademark" and (new term) "trademark erosion" you're not understanding where my position is coming from. There is no lie, there's you just not trying to hear the otherside and mixing up my positions that begins with the above terms I told you to learn about in the first place. :manny:

No.

Everything you have said is a theory not facts. That's why you are using words like "probably."
You keep using that word "genericide thinking you are really saying something but we have never seen a "lineage" trademarked outside of products like with FBA. No one has ever tried to trademark all variations of a lineage like Tariq. Jesse Jackson never trademarked African America so this is totally different. What Tariq is doing is new and totally different. Everything you said is a theory on what you think could happen because this specific case has never existed before. Everything you said is theoretic not facts. Let the posters who don't like me ignore the receipts and co sign your theories all they want but I'm not going to co sign your theories.


Don't quote me to spew more theories. Tag me when what you claim will happen to Tariq actually happens. :ehh:

You're right, everything I said is theoretical. As you mentioned this is brand new ground being broken, we'd have to see it challenged in court to know anything and then we'd have to see it challenged again if the term took off and replaced African American. You think they're about to let Tariq monopolize an ethnic identifier and I don't. We'll see what happens. :manny:
