Not for nothing, but the other s*** that's spawned from those FBA niggas is how they try to act like they know where you come from.
I've seen those weirdos try to say they can tell when someone is not Black American based on how they look
Nigga said I'm not Black American because I'm too dark and have dreads
Bro before all this FBA s***, and labels, if I’m out or something, at a function if somebody ask me my name, (I got a thick Nigerian name) and I always gotta repeat it. They would look surprised at me, I tell them I’m Nigerian, and always use to get “damn I thought you was regular black” or “I thought you was black black”
Now I say I’m Nigerian, 50/50 on whether I get a side eye, and called a tether, or it’s a nonissue.

I'm telling ya fam these FBA niggas are just lost in the white supremacist colonial sauce
The concept behind FBA/ADOS and establishing a well defined cultural identity should be encouraged. Like African American or Black as a moniker can be confusing for several reasons and defining a unique ethnic group by their race doesn't make any sense.
But the problem with the FBA/ADOS groups is that their ethos are extremely xenophobic and use a lot of white supremacist talking points and comes from the perspective that their ancestors were never African at all which also doesn't make sense.
But yes there should be a new moniker. Feel like its particularly challenging because America is like a blackhole when it comes to cultural identity, which is why it was easier for Caribbean countries to do it
