just agreeing

Funnily enough, even though he's working to build division between american black people & non american black people, this man Tariq just finished a multi week holiday in africa

anti-Black, reductive, willfully ignorant, exhausting to even discuss, just another counterrevolutionary talking point that obstructs pan-African solidarity

i empathize with the sentiment re: being disparaged via diaspora wars but dont respect this idea of propagating xenophobia as the answer. s*** is cooked when u start seein tiktok FBAs siding w trump when it comes to Somali or Haitian deportation

& ill never get being so proud to identify with the violent status of "AmeriKan"ness while disavowing the ethnic roots present in the caribbean, africa, etc that very obviously connect all of us. ofc Black people have a rich legacy of cultural perserverance in this country but i shake my head everytime i see that flag. deracinated, born in the US, north, south.. like T the f*** up. s*** is bigger than allat

reparations talk is a joke too. will never happen and will NEVER be enough when u really sit n think bout all the residual resounding reverberations of harm post-chattel slavery that continuing echoing from generation to generation; disenfrachisement, mental illness, abject poverty, allostatic load, etc...

everything needs to burn before i accept any of that has a rational price tag

The only correct move to pay us back for what was done to our people is a sovereign africa. The west and china have to leave

One thing that has never been brought up. Ain't it interesting when BLM movement was really getting big around the mid 2010s, "suddenly" ADOS and FBA came to existence not long after

*be forced out

but yea - im not opposed to Black national consciousness / separatism, i jus know too many still value proximity to neocolonialists for it to be realistic option in the foreseeable future

I just came back from Africa and my wife is Nigerian and id just say that our people are in our revolutionary period especially with whats going on in the sahel

this doesn’t exist in my world, I’m sorry. I try to get aware to the conversation and it all just stinks like corny niggas sitting around arguing for hours about nothing lmao. none of my homies have ever said anything FBA related

I know it’s important and an actual thing..but why bruh

the global south is fs on timing and where things will begin. my doubts are with us diaspora in imperial cores of the west

far from revolutionary period, the elites are stealing money in broad daylight and laughing in their voters faces cause they know they just gonna murder the competitors

Any nigga taking Tariq seriously is a nigga I ignore

most first generation African diaspora only know USA as home too. just adding two cents. it definitely blurs the lines when this conversation comes out cause this group is both not considered African American like descendants of slaves and not considered African like those raised in Africa, creating an even lonelier group when this conversation starts, which is why this s*** should just not happen and we stay focused

While some people genuinely believe the FBA agenda, the majority of the accounts pushing it on social media are bots.

We had the ability to vote and join congress after the civil war during the reconstruction period. The government literally made Jim Crow laws.

We had black Wall Street, they burned it down

We built another one and it got demolished for a “highway project”

Black panthers were doing food programs and were getting sting operations from the police,

Buckbroke b****

CIA s***

from a book im reading rn called We Refuse
"White violence is the perennial stumbling block to racial progress in America,"

True and i notice the irl people u see supporting it are all old heads. They dont represent the majority black opinion at all

This is complete cap. If you are a recent immigrant to any country your still raised in the culture of your native land. Your cuisine, the language your parents speak, their stories and values. Its a whole different mentality then an FBA

Fba niggas are just cosplaying racist whites tbh they have zero smoke for whites

COINTELPRO and its consequences

When actual liberation is dismissed as unattainable having a bite off that U$ of Amerikkkan pie seems a lot more appealing

In this way these FBA bootlicking coons have a lot in common with Obama and their ilk

These FBA mfs also need to get s*** on more for just using the likes of the Black Panthers and Malcolm X for aesthetic reasons while they fundamentally disagree with them ideologically, similar to white liberals and conservatives

Like Malcolm said a strong Africa is the only hope yet they wanna toady up to white power and separate themselves from other Black nations

It was so obvious during BLM 2020

It's so weird how Black people are used for that gender war shyt

Africans who have the means to immigrate across the Atlantic to the US are not representative of Africans at all

F*** you and yo hoe ass mama

Defeatists ass attitude
