Fat Joe Calls Out FBAs and Tariq Nasheed

[Knock_Twice]

Let me be clear: You're a coon if you don't take offence to anyone - black or white - saying that kind of shit about Africans.

I'm not in a US bro.

But there's no question that black and other immigrants to the US stand on the shoulders of Black Americans.

So you're preaching to the choir on this issue.

Do you take offense when Africans talk about FBAs??

As long as you call out Africans amd other black immigrants who be on that fuck shit, who talk about FBAs
Some are in this thread. You haven't said anything about that.

The shit goes both ways.
Let's not play like yall not bullies


I'm glad you understand that FBAs made it possible for Africans and other black immigrants to be over here.

 

[Knock_Twice]

Why don't you just Google it?

Anyway, from what I understand it's less than 400,000. Perhaps a little more if you include those brought from the West Indies after they were shipped to the islands from Africa. In any case, it's just a few hundred thousands, not millions. Anyone saying millions don't know what they're talking about.

Slaves flourished reproductively in North America. In Central America, South America and the West Indies, on the other hand, they died in the millions and in any case did not reproduce themselves.

Let's just stick to the US.
Thats what tweet stated:
Less than 400k Africans that were brought here in the US from Africa

Let's go with you number 400k. I'll give you that

400k Africans in the US, they reproduce, which makes that number higher because those slaves were breeders

You had breeding farms in Baltimore

With that being said, by the time slavery ended in 1865

Those 400k, your words, are these 2-4 million free slaves, are they Africans? Or BLAKC West Indians??


Why are there more FBAs 43 million or so now in 2025 not including any Africans or black immigrants, why there are less Africans and black immigrants here in 2025.?

Absolutely. I have a big problem with that kind of shit too.

Who did that in this thread? I hope you're not talking about someone saying (what you take to be) incorrect information about hip hop.

They are of African descent. I myself wouldn't call them 'Africans,' but I can understand why some might do that.

I don't understand the bolded.

43 million FBAs, which doesn't include Africans or black immigrants.

How did FBAs get to 43 million in the US and it's only like 3 million African and black immigrants here

That number of 3 may be off but it's a low number

You do realize that some of that 43 mil are of African and West Indian background, right?

Anyway, to answer your question, it's simple: reproduction.

What does West Indian background means.? Like if their great grandparents are Africans??

Does a Chinese, Arabic, Jamaican have an African background.?

Would you say that every person, white or black, red, yellow all have African background??
Just asking.

Also, if these 43 million FBA with this background, why are they not considered Africans..??

When did FBAs become FBAs? And not Africans

If there were 400k Africans here in the US, who were the other black ppl here?? Or again, were there all Africans here?

Everyone is of African descent in a sense, but that is not what I am talking about. So put that sense aside.

West Indian background meaning that they are descended from one or more persons who immigrated to the US after slavery. Like Colin Powell's children and grandchildren. His parents were Jamaican. But best believe that his descendants are counted among the 43 million. Same with Malcolm X's descendants.

I have a few questions if you don't mind me asking, you seem knowledgeable about this subject.

We are just focus on the USA.

How many Africans were brought here to the U.S. and during what time frame? Your estimate? And where did they come from, what part of Africa??


Also, you stated when the slaves were freed in 1865, were all 2-4 million of these black slaves "Africans" since you are indicating that all the slaves are majority of them all came from Africa and if so, what tribe were these individual Africans or now free slaves from??

Also, how many slaves were here, population wise in the US? From 1700-1800.
I was taught that it was millions of millions slaves brought here in the US from Africa

What year did the US put a halt on slave trafficking?

From 1865 - 1965 how many Africans were in the United States??

Why are there more FBAs 43 million, which doesnt include black immigrants in the United States than they are black immigrants in 2025??

If all or majority of the slaves brought here to the US were Africans and came from Africa and if there were no black ppl already in the US before slavery as the tweet suggested, wouldn't it make sense that there would be more Africans in the US than FBAs in the year 2025?

Thanks for taking the time out to answer these questions.

I'm just trying to learn and get a better understanding of this situation/issue

Bruh they didn’t just come from one tribe and it wasn’t just west Africa but central. Some are Igbo some Yoruba some from Cameroon. This is stuff we learned in school.

And why do you think that America is the first destination for an African immigrant. They move to UK and France and Italy in large numbers. We are distinct ethnic group. Why would Nigerians outnumber Americans in America? Question is confusing


I get a lot of yall don’t want to be descendants of Africans due to ignorance or thinking we really Cherokee or something. Black people come from Africa.

It’s called reproduction. If 200 people were brought somewhere and stayed there in 500 years it could be 10’000 people

Kool, as long as you keep your foot on Africans, black immigrants neck who have negative things to say about FBAs, we are all good, post tweets, to call Africans and other black immigrants out too like you did in this thread. Their tweets are on Social Media too. Pull those tweets up and show the forum how Africans and black immigrants get down.

It goes both ways my boy

Would you explain the incorrect information about Hip Hop that I posted?

If a black person whose grandparents are from the South, all 4 of their grandparents, then what is that person? Those grandparents linage goes back to Louisiana or Oklahoma area, Mississippi area, what are the kids? West Indian?

Would those 10,000 people be called Africans? in the example that I gave?

We also learned Christopher Columbus found America in school too.

Going by what you said, West Africa Africans, Igbo and Yoruba and Cameroon Africans came to the United States from the time frame 1619-1865.

If these Africans that were slave over here in the United States, going by logic, after they were freed in 1865, would they be considered Africans?

Second question, Would there be a heavy population of Africans "those tribes" in the United States prior to 1965? using your logic, if these group of Africans from these tribes were (already) over here and part of the slave population?

It's not a lot of us don't want to be a part of something, I am using logic, and going by you and the other poster's claim about Africans being here, there should be more Africans in the United States than any group

I'm not understanding why this is not the case?

The 1st slave ship was in first brought here in 1619 - 1865 according to what we was taught in school

During this time frame, your claim and dude claim is that Africans were the slaves here in the US.

My question is, once slavery ended in 1865, these 2-4 million black people that were freed, were they Africans?

If you bring Jamaicans over to an island, and they worked as slaves from 1619 - 1865, and they were freed in 1865, 2-4 million would be Jamaicans still right? or would they not be Jamaicans?

It was the way he was called out that he took issue with. It was just "nah thats exaggerated". Thats why he specifically mentioned the FBA's on social media. They've been coming at him the hardest and saying all sorts of wild shit in general. There's always a line and to Fat Joe his was crossed in the way him and other folks was being spoken about.

What other "wild shit" was said?

Fat Joe claimed the 50/50 and his ass got corrected.

He doubled down on it in other interviews and he got corrected again. FBAs were at his neck for him saying that shit. No hate, just correcting his ass, he kept ignoring and pushing what he wanted to push. He thought FBAs were going to back off and let him ride with it, No, he got met with more heat and he still refused to learn the truth.

What you failed to understand, FBAs were the ONLY ones who created this shit, nigga the clothes you got on, the way you dress NOW came from FBAs.

Where you're from, cuz yo people not from here, the way you post about FBAs, you got some kind of envy in your heart towards FBAs, you niggas knew nothing about dressing and style, the slang you talk, or your people use, the diction came from FBAs

Fat Joes people, the way they're dressing now, the current slang and diction that they use, comes from outta the souls of FBAS. Nigga your whole family makeup came from FBAs

The fuck is you talking bout.

Fun fact:

Sesame Street was created for FBAs, the whole setup from the Brownstones, them sitting out in front singing/chopping it up, to the soulful singing was for FBA kids. Luther Vandross started off singing on Sesame street.
