Context #WebsiteBlackAgendaReportMarkFancher "The latest iteration of Black othering is found in the concept of 'Foundational Black Americans.' A website dedicated to this idea explains: 'It is important to clarify that Foundational Black Americans (FBA) is not a group or an organization, and there is no designated leader of FBA. FBA is a lineage-based designation that specifically refers to the over 43 million Black Americans who are direct descendants of the Freedmen--the formerly enslaved Black people who were emancipated in the United States. This lineage represents a unique and unbroken connection to the foundational builders of this nation.' Those who subscribe to this concept believe it is important to distinguish so-called Foundational Black Americans from those born in Africa and other people of African descent whose ancestors were never enslaved in the U.S. This perspective resembles the MAGA program not only in its othering of immigrants, but also in the convenient disregard of facts, and reliance on comforting self-delusion, all of which is ultimately self-defeating. So-called Foundational Black Americans may tell themselves they are noble protectors of ancestral legacy, but they are in fact little different from European groups in this country that conceptualized white privilege and tried to reserve it for exclusive groups. In the case of Foundational Black Americans and the so-called 'American Descendants of Slaves' who preceded them, there is a belief - sometimes stated, sometimes not - that there is only a small slice of the American pie that is potentially available to Black people, and it is terribly unfair that those who are relatively recent arrivals in this country will share in that slice to the exclusion of people whose families have been here since the slavery era. Many Foundational Black Americans also believe that reparations paid by the U.S. government should not be paid to those whose ancestors were not held in bondage in the U.S." https://www.blackagendareport.com/folly-so-called-foundational-black-americans #IdentityAmericanFoundationalBlackAmericansFBA #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC
