  I'm FBA and I'm unapologetic about it. If everyone else, who's black, can rep their individual cultures then we can too. For too long we've been the only group who other groups, including white Africans, can use the same identities as us (i.e. immigrant black folks who become citizens, as well as their offspring, could be called Black Americans, both black and white Africans who are citizens here can be called African Americans, etc). I can't call myself Jamaican, Ugandan, Nigerian, etc and those respective cultures would make sure of that if I were to immigrate to their lands. So why have a problem with us making a distinction? How is it only "divisive" when we do it but wasn't considered divisive for decades when other groups of black folks would proudly rep their foreign heritage even when they're born and raised here?

  It's always funny to hear that black Americans are divisive all of a sudden when you have jareer akata Yankee and people saying I'm not black I'm Haitian.. Jamaican..African.. Nigerian...everything other then united ... That's why pan Africanism is dead...it's always one sided...

  🇺🇸As a foundational black American 16 GENERATION born. I lived in three different countries 6 years in each country. I TAPPED IN, I TAPPED IN. WHEN people come to America from other countries they always throwing shade at foundational black Americans we tired we real tired. I support being called Black because that&apos;s what I support Smokey Robinson said it best in his animated cartoon I&apos;m Black and I&apos;m Proud✊🏿✊🏿JAMES BROWN sang it!!<br>COMPLETE SEPARATION👈🏿👈🏿

  I rock with you strong Lord Jamar, I haven&apos;t watched VLAD TV since you stopped working with him, but I have to say this....We have not been united for a long time. &nbsp;Many black people from different nations come to America with contempt for FBA. &nbsp;I see this first hand working at Amazon, we have many black immigrants that don&apos;t identify with black people born in America to non-immigrant parents (FBA). How can we come together with people that hate us just a little bit less than our oppressor?? &nbsp; Many black immigrants just want to be comfortable with white people, many of these black immigrants say the same negative things about FBA that an Alt-right Neo-nazi would say. &nbsp;We need these conversations, it&apos;s not just one simple answer, let&apos;s learn, let&apos;s be honest about it.

  I agree and disagree with the Unity talk because as far as the black agenda in the U.S. if none fba are off code what’s the point of uniting with people that don’t have the same mindset and goals and ultimately will undermine what you’re trying to do as a group
