The following words are comments that I dedicate to my black people and my black ancestors. Only traitors use slurs to describe black people of different nationalities. There have been a lot of discussion about the Fat Joe interview with Math Hoffa, and Fat Joe criticizing Tariq Nasheed by name. Recently, Math Hoffa interviewed Fat Joe, and Fat Joe said that the FBA movement is racist, and Tariq Nasheed is a fraud. What is the truth? The truth is that both Fat Joe and Tariq Nasheed are wrong for completely different reasons. Fat Joe is wrong to promote the lie that hip hop was created 50 percent black people and 50 percent Latino people. Hip hop was created by black people back in the early 1970s. Before the 1970s, black American participated in rapping and graffiti like The Jubalaires, The Mills Brothers, Sun Ra, Darryl McCray, The Last Poets, etc. Afro-Caribbeans had a role in the creation of hip hop too. Latino people came later on (with Crazy Legs and other hip-hop leaders), but hip hop's origin is with black Americans and Afro-Caribbeans. Also, Fat Joe is wrong for using the n word to talk about black people, opposing Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the national anthem to protest racial injustice (and police brutality), and said the lie that all Latinos are black people. We, as black people, don't hate Latinos, as we are some of the most accepting and forgiving people in human history. There are black Latinos, and many Afro-Latinos are some of my personal heroes like Benedita da Silva. Also, other Latinos are white, biracial, and multiracial. Many Latino people are our cousins. I reject the anti-black racism found in some Latino people, but I won't use a broad brush to blame all of them for anti-black racism.
Now, Tariq Nasheed is wrong for his xenophobic rhetoric, and he is the founder of the FBA movement. There may be those who claim FBA who aren't xenophobic, but I can't in good conscious support the FBA movement as its founder using slurs against black people in Diaspora (like calling many of them "anchor babies") and other reasons. Tariq said that single black mothers shouldn't get reparations, he threatened to fight a black woman named Pearl, advances misogynistic rhetoric (found in his books like The Art of Mackin'), and has rhetoric that tries to divide the black community based on nationality. I consider myself black American and African American, not FBA. Tons of FBA followers use slurs to criticize black people on social media who dissent with their movement. When Tariq doesn't get his way, he curses people out (like the Pan-African scholar Omowale Afrika) who disagrees with him. Tariq is the same person who assaulted a man much smaller than him named Taraka Bey in California. Tariq was a hedonist in Brazil lusting after white Brazilian women and said that he had a crush on Brooke Hogan. He said that he wanted to bring the flag of Europe in the bedroom, and he wanted a woman to show him her feet (this is after he was married to his biracial wife). So, Tariq is what he is. Numerous FBA cult followers question the identity of any black person who disagrees with their cult, but my black ancestors lived in America long before 1800 genetically and genealogically. I honor my black identity along with not hating a person who is a different color or background than me. I honor black people globally. That's integrity. FBA came from Tariq which has been influenced by the ADOS ideology. Later, Tariq denies any involvement or support of the ADOS movement. We know Tariq Nasheed to be a liar, because Javen Bernardez has a tape of Tariq Nasheed praising the name of ADOS and its acronym. ADOS was formed by Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore. Yvette Carnell has ties to the pro-eugenics PFIR organizaiton (that group had ties to the late racist John Tanton). The FBA has many followers making an idol of America seeking to anchor our identity to one nation alone when our black identity is global.
Tariq is a hypocrite claiming to be for black people, but harbors hostility towards black people who aren't African American. Nasheed wants to separate Afro-Latino and Afro-Caribbean history with black American history when all of these histories are intertwined. For example, Afro Latino Arturo Schomburg support black Americans to have justice in America, even promoting a black book shop in Harlem, NYC. Africans and African Americans worked together to defeat apartheid in South Africa. Afro-Caribbean Denmark Vesey fought in South Carolina in trying to get black Americans free from slavery heroically. Javen Bernardez shown video evidence from Nasheed's own words mentioning that Tariq said that black immigrations are the biggest threat in the last 500 years, they started the gender war, they started hardcore gangbanging in LA and Chicago, they were the cab drivers in NYC who wouldn't pick up black people, and other forms of hate speech and lies against black immigrants. Tariq Nasheed said the lie that people wearing the colors of red, black, and green are federal assets. Tariq regularly used words and makes videos to mock Africans, Afro-Caribbeans, and people who are non-black American in sick, xenophobic fashion (proven by the research of Omowale Afrika and deetubman2).
Nasheed hypocritically made his Hidden Colors disinformation series in claiming to praise African contributions but mocks Esther Rolle, now distances himself from African culture, and advances division among the black family. His ally Lord Jamar supports FBA when he has some Afro-Caribbean heritage. Jamar is the same person who believes that the Earth is flat and promotes Holocaust denial (in denying that 6 million people died in the Holocaust). Plus, Jamar is in the MAGA movement, so he is a sellout. The FBA cultic movement is an enemy of complete global black African liberation and true justice. I find it very interesting that Tariq and many other FBA adherents have more anger at black people who disagree with them than controversial white figures who disrespected black people for years like Howard Stern, Andrew Schultz (who made obscene, disgusting references about Kendrick Lamar and black women. The sellout 50 Cent goes on Schultz's show to play damage control), Mike Rappaport (who disrespected Janet Jackson, black women journalists, etc.), and Eminem. Many FBA members defend their movement by saying that Tariq doesn't run their movement, but Tariq invented the FBA, and trade marketed the FBA image. Therefore, FBA members still are allied with Tariq Nasheed, and many of them refuse to collaborate with genuine groups desiring reparations for black Americans, because these groups believe in Pan-African unity. Numerous FBA followers who use the t word about black immigrants claim they are not in reference to all black immigrants, but tons of FBA members in social media make no distinction with using the t word. Also, that word is a xenophobic slur, and using derogatory language to dehumanize human beings is evil.
Necro (who is a rapper with and underground following) has come into the mix to support Fat Joe to use the n word when hip hop at its origin never glorified people saying the n word, going out to disrespect women, and glorifying unnecessary violence. Necro wouldn't dare support people calling Jewish people slurs on records, but he supports nonblack artists using the n word (which is hypocritical). Necro may disagree with Jamar, but Necro is MAGA too (when Trump is a racist and anti-Semite who said that any Jewish people who doesn't vote for him is "disloyal." Trump believes that the Central Park Five are guilty when they are innocent, but Necro wants to still ally with a wicked person like Trump. It shows him to be anti-hip hop and anti-black). Therefore, Necro is certainly a person that I don't agree with. Necro showing a video of him using the n word in a crowd of black people over 20 years ago (on Youtube) doesn't justify it. There are tons of people in New York City who don't approve of black people being called the n word (regardless if it ends with an -a or -er). The defenders of Fat Joe talk about the South in disrespectful terms, and yes we people from the South (and all over America) have dignity about ourselves to not allow our heritage to be maligned by ignorant racists and xenophobes. I am never some n word. I am a grown black man period. FBA to me is straight up cult. FBA doesn't represent African Americans like me who love truth and justice. We can both celebrate African American culture and black Americans' gifts to the world without xenophobia. That is my point. So, I don't agree with Fat Joe or Tariq Nasheed. At the end of the day, I believe in Pan African unity (as advocated by Queen Mother Moore, Malcolm X, and other real freedom fighters) and reparations where all black people of the African Diaspora can unite for freedom and recognize our cultural diversity at the same time.
