I'm about to get into some controversial ish. But its something that may need to be done to get to the end of the road. First, I'm down with ANY black people fighting for theirs and being pro black. ANY. Be it black South Africans. Zimbabweans. Caribbean islands tryna get that reparations bag. African nations who were former colonies tryna get that bag. Black Brits who suffered and are suffering overt racism, tryna change things there. ALL.
That said, in America, the non FBA as a collective we got waaaaaaaay too many who are not pro black, pro black empowerment. They are pro their own clique. And/Or accept white supremacy as a necessary evil to live better in America than back in Africa or the Caribbean. Whatever. I know because if you see my profile I am non FBA. I heard it within some members of my family, or other non FBAs. I am outgoing I link up with anyone black at the job, school, where ever. That's me. If I see ya coonish, I keep it moving or whatever. I got people I love like fam who are FBA, Caribbean, African and European black (Brits, etc).
That said, and the vitriol Tariq gets proves it, too many are just off effing code. When I was with my homies, all FBA, cops did me dirty along with them. Racists teachers minimized my learning along with them. I was in the same struggle, so for me, I don't trip on this FBA, non FBA thing because as I have written in many posts it really comes down to on code vs off code and supporting reparations for FBA is on code. Supporting repartions for Caribbean islands is on code. Same with former African colonies.
You know what may need to be done? Have a separate designation on census, driver's licenses and such for FBA and non FBA Black. 10% or whatever (a guess-ti-mate) or whatever of non FBAs may be ridas but what ever the number is, its waaaaaay too small. The ridas such as myself will be "i-ight". Because on code will always link with on code.
I think ANY affrimative action program such as to get into colleges, other set asides that were set up for FBAs but have come to include latinos, non FBA blacks, etc, should ONLY go to FBAs.
Also, as part of the reparations, I would suggest to the FBA set, not just direct cash payments, but also 'sovereign lands' like the native American red Indians have. A 'safe place' where blacks can go that the US government can't go to. Same rules as Indian reservations. Cops can't go there without their okay.
I would also demand that EVERY state that had slaves and/or fought for the confederacy in the Civil War exclude ALL FBAs from state income tax. Only pay property tax (because that funds local schools) and ALL FBAs not pay federal income tax either indefinitely or for a number of years. That's why a separate category on the census and government documents be made to split blacks into FBA and non FBA. Once the cooning portion of non FBAs feel that heat, they gotta come along or be isolated.
Tariq Nasheed talked about it but I also think that to qualify not only traced back to the 1870 or so census but your birth certificate has to designate you black, negro, colored, african american (depending on how old you are, the designation at the time). And you list yourself as such on legal documents (driver's license, applications, etc).
One final thing. When (not if) reparations happens before you can get it, you should sign a statement that would include 1. You affirm you are FBA under penalty of law. Basically if you lie you can go to jail and/or pay a fine. 2. You say you are deserving of reparations. Why that? So that the Larry Elders, Thomas Sowells, and public Black republicans and sell outs who qualify gotta be on record as hypocrites if they take it. You can't stop them from getting it BUT you can make them hyprocrites in doing so.
These 'tactics' , 'strategies' or whatever seem harsh but this is some real ass sh*t. The reparations fight in America is the most important thing for ALL black globally? At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, the reason I say so is that America is the most powerful country. American blacks and the culture is the most visible, followed culture globally. If anything is going to get blacks globally to get on code it will ONLY happen if there is tangible evidence of beating white supremacy in America. And reparations is it. If Blacks world wide see that Blacks (FBAs) in America got the worlds biggest miliary, biggest economy to bow down it will reveberate internationally both for blacks and non blacks. It will kick off reparations and restorative justice globally.
Again, don't think for one second, the UK, France, Holland and Spain aren't scared as f*ck about America paying reparations. They are because they will not have any excuses.
Also, that win in America will trigger TRUE Pan-Africanism. Because if Caribbean people, native Africans are fighting for it, the Blacks in Europe (who are all from either the Caribbean and/or Africa originally) will also get on board.
I think it will change black culture 180 degrees. The bedwenching, cooning will be socially unacceptable.
Rant over...lol.
