Hmm

IDK, maybe outside around other black people? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Just face it, no one uses this term in everyday conversation outside of being online

I wouldn't go as far as saying that. I dont think it's used all willy nilly.

Like I said, a lot of things you hear online isn't used irl

Where would YOU go to here it?

What person walks around shouting out that they are a FBA if the convo doesnt call for it like in this setting??

Come on Batman.

Just because YOU haven't heard it in real life, doesn't mean the word FBA isn't used. Yall gotta stop that

It's a lot of things you hear online that you haven't heard in real life.
You not everywhere bud

But if this movement is going to get anything done people have to be aware. Especially the people you want something from. I think that’s the main point.

It'll get out there as time progress. It's in the delexicon now.
Those who are online which how many ppl use X, Tictok, chat on message board know what FBAs are.

More political ppl going forward will be using it, it'll catch on to folks who may be not aware of it, the few folks.

A lineage will eventually spread like fire as time progress.

You might be right

I don't hear anyone actually say YN's irl. I just see it online

2023, you didn't hear the word YN irl and look at it now.
And even that word YN isn't caught on by folks irl yet. It's the folks in our gen and younger who mainly use the word

Matter of fact the only reason Trump can try and use the bullshit excuse that Gazans have nowhere to return to is bc of the Biden administration.

Trump wasn't lying when he said he'll end the war, he just left out that he was gonna clean em all up outta there.

Biden continued to sell weapons to Israel in accordance to previously determined pacts while also trying to use diplomatic pressure to get Israel to fall the fuck back because at the most craven level the shit didn't look that good for him but on a real level they were going 100% rogue. Meanwhile Trump was 100% scuttling any hostage deals that were on the table because any perceived win for Biden would look bad for him. We've seen this before with Regan and Carter.

You saying that Biden selling Israel weapons as agreed for decades is the same as Trump saying the US would essentially annex the Gaza strip, remove all the people that live there and turn 3 more allies into enemies and direct ALL future retaliation on us is crazy. And when you add to that that he's trying to end USAID, The FBI & The CIA before doing this... if you take any other stance than this man is trying to end all stability in this country forever in favor of Vladimr Putin I don't know what to tell you.

Nah both sides are the same is the laziest take. It allows you to not apply any critical thinking in the situation.

Trump is a different kind of evil, but the Dems made it easy for him to do what he's doing now. Going back to trying to create an analogy for this... if someone jumped me and my friend let it happen, of course I'd be mad at the attacker. However, me and my friend are gonna have A LOT to talk about. "Both sides" takes more critical thinking than one would assume. You have to weigh in who did more harm to you while also acknowledging what harm was done to you by the other side. I myself haven't really thought about how detrimental to Black Americans the Dems were til this recent election. We as Black Americans don't talk about or act on what's really beneficial for us, which takes a lot of critical thinking and studying of ourselves and our sovereign economy. Me and others on here like @Knock_Twice and @Disanthrope thought about that and came to our own conclusions about the ppl that were supposedly gonna give us what we're asking for. Both parties, and the entire gov't in general, have to be held accountable. Granted, Trump/MAGA gotta take a lot more, which is were me and the rest of #CouchGang might part ways on. But the Dems' refusal to adjust their ideology for the changing American consensus and their collective incompetence is what got us here in the first place.

If you're a single issue voter, there is absolutely nothing the Democrats were going to do to get your vote if that only issue wasn't addressed

And I'll push back to say a lot of the couch gang posts are just rehashed Tariq talking points

Stop acting like if that attack happened on Trump’s watch he wouldn’t have let them destroy Gaza.

Why do u keep bringing up Trump for something that happened under Biden? Did genocide happen under Biden's watch or not?

Didn't u bring up false equivalence? Gaza population went from 2.2 million to 1.7. what percentage of those deaths do u think happened since Jan 20?

Remember, I'm holding both of them accountable. Are u?

And that's the issue. It's not just FBA they ignored... they either looked past or downplayed a lot of key issues multiple groups and a crucial amount of the population have been screaming about for years. Aside from all that, they knew in advance what Trump was gonna do and did nothing to stop it in the four years Biden was president. It wasn't just a single issue vote thing, the Dems turned off a lot of voters all around.

And fuck Tariq... I'm not letting a social media influencer parading as a pro Black activist tell me how life go.

You take care of the ppl who take care of you the most 1st. FBAs were the most loyal group of ppl to the Dems

FBAs are last in everything. You make sure that very loyal group doesn't be last.

Since you can't do that, you won't get FBAs vote going forward.
Voter turnout may be even lower the next time if shit isn't different

Tariq, Dwann B, Claude Anderson, Henry Clark, the Black Panthers all
Fred Hampton, that whole 70s, 60s of black folks have the same speech bro. H. Rap. Muhammed Ali.
Nelly Fuller RIP
2pac

I can keep going lol

Tariq isn't saying anything new, hell Malcolm X said the same thing about niggas like YOU and that was almost 60 years ago.

This message that you keep putting on Tariq been around bro.

Yall just haven't caught on to it.

Tariq isn't your bad guy. It's ppl that's tired of the same Ole same

Niggas think Tariq is some sort of leader of this shit lol. A lot of niggas don't even like that dude.

It's other ppl that understand simple logic.
Ppl move how they move without the likes of a Tariq

Remember online isn't real lol.

But yet folks wanna blame the Tariq nigga

Which one is it. One mic or Heal the World
