My comment and your comment are both tangential but a direct answer to the question posed is: YES. ALL black people are of African descent because it was the cradle of civilisation. FBA heritage stems from the original Africans that migrated to the Americas and settled the land, ergo, they became the TRUE native Americans. The vast majority of Africans remained on the continent until millions were taken captive and sold into slavery throughout the diaspora. In fact, some (troublemakers) from the diaspora were relocated to America. It is well documented that Barbados was the main buck breaking colony .Much of the enmity between FBAs and diasporian blacks is borne out of, paradoxically, different yet shared experiences.Noteworthy, not every non FBA is an adversary against reparations but the vibe does, invariably, feel like being tarred with the one condemnatory brush. Need to be careful not to drive an inviolable wedge. Some of us, non FBA, acknowledge FBAs' frustration in fending off opposition but alienation of diasporian allies is regrettable.
