Tariq Nasheed addressed Michael Jai White’s reaction to the term “Foundational Black American” (FBA). White called the term “ridiculous” and viewed the focus on it as “inconsequential,” a response Nasheed attributed to a misunderstanding fueled by how the term was initially presented. Nasheed emphasized that FBA is not a subjective identity but a distinct lineage rooted in the descendants of Black Americans whose ancestors endured slavery in the U.S., contributing profoundly to American culture and civil rights. Nasheed highlighted that unlike other ethnic groups celebrated openly, such as Jamaicans or Puerto Ricans, the FBA community’s unique heritage often faces dismissal or erasure. He pointed to foundational cultural and legal contributions—like the influence on the 14th Amendment—underscoring the importance of recognizing this lineage. Nasheed seeks respect for FBA identity as a rightful acknowledgment of history, culture, and legacy within the broader Black experience.
