The Case for a Dedicated FBA Caucus: Ending Political Neglect and Prioritizing Lineage

For decades, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has operated under a "Big Tent" philosophy, attempting to represent all individuals with African heritage in the United States and everyone else. 

However, for Foundational Black Americans (FBA)—the direct descendants of people enslaved in the U.S. who built this nation's wealth and infrastructure—this broad umbrella has often resulted in "bold neglect." While the CBC maintains sub-groups like the Haiti Working Group, there is no equivalent body dedicated solely to the specific domestic grievances of the 40+ million people whose ancestors survived U.S. chattel slavery. I'm sure there are more of us but the Devil's favorite game is deception. Always remember that.

An independent FBA Caucus (Freedmen's Caucus) is not just a preference; it is a political necessity to ensure that the specific debt owed to our lineage is prioritized over "pan-African fantasies" that consistently leave FBAs with the short end of the stick. Don't let them sit up and call this a selfish move when they have groups within different spaces like the CBC that focus solely on them. That's hypocritical as hell, and it's nothing but enemy behavior when they're going out of their way to stand in our way. This is Foundational Black American exploitation. That's why these Black Mis-Leaders continue to do the most for everyone else while giving us their butt to kiss. How many of these people have smoke for us and come over committing hate crimes, talking down on us, killing, pulling scams and all that? Too many.

1. Prioritizing Lineage Over Broad Racial Labels

The primary benefit of an FBA Caucus would be the shift from race-based politics to lineage-based advocacy.

• Direct Accountability: Currently, FBA interests are often diluted within a caucus that also represents first- and second-generation immigrants. These groups have different historical trajectories and needs. They want to flood that zone with outsiders and too many look at us as the opposition, and so do these OPPs that stand in leadership who would rather those resources go to their non-FBA kin than to Freedmen. That's like coming to our cookout, passing out food to their family and telling us to sit down somewhere.
• 
  
• Targeted Resources: Policies like affirmative action and minority-business grants are often captured by newer immigrant groups rather than the community for whom they were originally intended as a remedial measure. An FBA Caucus would ensure that targeted initiatives to build wealth are strictly reserved for our lineage as non-immigrant people.

2. Ending the "Study" Cycle for Reparations

For over 30 years, legislation like H.R. 40 has languished in the CBC, stuck in a perpetual cycle of "studying" reparations.

• A New Mandate: A separate FBA Caucus would move past the study phase. Its core mission would be to negotiate for tangible, lineage-based reparations and specific federal protections that acknowledge FBAs as a distinct protected class under the law.
• 
  
• Legislative Speed: While the system has shown it can move quickly for other groups—such as emergency aid for non-citizens and specific immigrant diasporas—FBA issues are often sidelined. An independent caucus would provide the leverage to demand the same urgency.

3. Business-First Collaboration, Not Symbolic Unity

The FBA community has long been asked to prioritize "symbolic unity" with a global diaspora, often at the expense of our own domestic political standing.

• Transactional Relationships: Splitting from the CBC would signal an end to the "Pan-African" ideal in favor of a business-first approach. We could collaborate with other Black groups, but only through formal, transactional business partnerships that benefit FBA interests us. No one can be mad at that, we've done enough, and it's not our job to be used by anyone Black or otherwise.
• 
  
• Protecting our Name: As noted, FBA is not an organization but a lineage-based designation. A separate caucus would guard us from being used by outside groups to secure funding intended for the descendants of U.S. Freedmen.

4. Protecting the FBA Vote

Historically, the CBC has been criticized for aligning more with Democratic Party priorities than with the specific needs of Freedmen. That problem still continues, and they go out of their way to ride for people who never gave a damn about them. People who turn around and vote to the right because they feel like they'll be closer to white, and they want to use us to support that. So let's flip it, why should FBA go out of our way and ride for people who never gave a damn about us? They don't deserve our vote because they haven't proven themselves.

• Political Leverage: By forming a separate block, FBA representatives would no longer be "locked in" to the CBC’s party-first platform. To hell with that. This would force both political parties to negotiate directly with FBAs, rather than taking the "Black vote" for granted through a single, compliant caucus of OPPs. Remember, these snakes could show and prove today.
  
  

The time for a "universal" Black caucus has passed, that's dead, we have to replace it. For the betterment of Foundational Black Americans, a dedicated caucus is the only way to ensure that our lineage is the priority, we finally get paid, and our political power is no longer diluted by those who did not share in our ancestors' specific struggle on American soil through the country we built. It’s time for an FBA Caucus that fights for us, by us, and only for us.

They got theirs, we need ours.

The Currency of Influence: How Kamala Harris Can Move Local Tangibles for the FBA Lineage Right Now

We need to stop falling for the trap that power only exists in office. There is a specific, coordinated effort to make us think Kamala Harris is "sidelined" right now, but that narrative is designed to keep you from realizing how much leverage she actually has over the people currently in office.

Kamala Harris isn’t just a former VP; she is a highly influential "private citizen" that holds weight in the Democratic party. If a mayor, city council member, or state representative wants to be on her future team—or even just wants her endorsement to keep their current job—they have to answer to her today. If we're behind that influence, that helps us because it all about getting her to show and prove.

Here is how she can use that influence right now to get tangibles specifically for the FBA lineage at the local level:

1. Directing Local "Lineage-Based" Policies

Because she isn't in a federal office, she can privately push local leaders to implement policies that are lineage-based (Foundational Black American) rather than race-based. This is the "Blum-proof" strategy.

• The Power Today: She can influence mayors and governors in her network to create local ordinances or executive orders that provide grants, land-use preferences, or business set-asides specifically for those who can prove U.S. chattel slavery ancestry.
• The Proof: If a local politician in your city claims to be "Team Kamala," the demand is simple: Show us the lineage-based policy you passed today to earn that spot on her team tomorrow.

2. Using "Soft Power" for Local Resource Reallocation

Local politicians control the purse strings for city contracts and community development funds. Harris can use her influence to ensure these leaders are prioritizing FBA neighborhoods for infrastructure and development.

• The Power Today: She has a direct line to the "Next Gen" of leaders in cities like Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, and Charlotte. She can tell these officials that if they want her support for their future ambitions, they need to show measurable results in FBA districts right now.
• The Demand: We aren't looking for "diversity" programs that get diluted. We are looking for local leaders to direct city resources toward FBA-specific economic zones.

3. Protecting FBA Land and Assets

Gentrification and predatory tax sales are stripping FBA wealth at the local level. Harris has the influence to move local District Attorneys and City Attorneys—roles she knows intimately—to act.

• The Power Today: She can influence local legal officials to implement "Heirs' Property" protections and tax relief programs specifically designed to keep FBA families in their homes.
• The Proof: This doesn't require a vote in D.C. It requires a local official using their current pen to sign an order. If they are doing this under her guidance, it proves she is working for us in good faith. So we can't sit up and believe the lies that she's "powerless". That's a damn lie.

4. Exposing the "Vote for Free" Agenda

The people telling you she is powerless want you to think your only choice is to vote for "nothing" until after she gets in. That is another lie. By Harris using her influence to make local officials work for us today, this exposes the manipulators too. I don't care about them and their feelings, but this exposes who you shouldn't be listening to.

• The Truth: If she gets a mayor to pass a lineage-based business grant in 2026, it proves that the "wait until 2028" talk is a scam. It proves that our vote isn't a gift; it's a transaction for tangibles. It won't stop there, but we have to get her to move for our betterment. Talk is cheap, it's time to put in that work. Michelle and Barack Obama could've done the same, and still can. I mentioned something like this on Twitter about Michelle Obama when somebody mentioned her as a candidate. They don't think about us like that and they don't move with our betterment in mind. If Kamala wants in, she better get it in now.

The Bottom Line for the Community

Don't let anyone tell you she can't do anything because she's out of office. Her phone calls can move local budgets. Her meetings can decide who gets promoted in the party to some extent. If someone wants into that Presidency, she would have to get them to play ball for our betterment today.

We aren't asking for promises; the local policies being passed in our districts right now would be the receipts that help her show and prove for tomorrow. She has to put in that work, and she can no matter what Swollen Martin or any of the other paid off lying snakes say.

Here's proof: The Evidence: Harris is Wielding Power Today

The old dried up FBA backstabbers are OPPs too!

Look at the old dried up FBA who were at the NAN standing in OPPosition against younger FBA Brothas & Sistas standing up against the bull.

They're comfortable, they get a lil check and think they're straight. They don't even acknowledge the fact that some of the older FBA have to work just like the rest of us and scrap together to get their medications, pay bills, and get whatever food with the rest.

They don't need an ounce of understanding. It was all good when they were sitting up laughing when that old bird Al Sharpton was calling a young FBA Brotha a punk for wanting tangibles for our people. Trying to preach like we're as stupid as they WANT us to be. If Al ends up in a nursing home covered in bedsores while laid up in his own feces, it would serve him right. I still don't understand why these OPPs live so damn long, but maybe it's the desire to do the devil's bidding that keeps them going.

If politicians have a position in government, they can do something today. Just like I said in another post. So to hell with anyone sitting up trying to lie, mock, or laugh at us.

Ask yourself, if they're telling us we can't get anything until after we vote for a snake, then why can that snake do for other people today? Why are they able to do something for these old OPPs today?

Why do these God Damned Democrats have the ability to call off police when it comes to these illegals, and police are working against ICE but the Democrats act like they're powerless to make these police back up off us? They followed commands when it came to these illegal no problem. You go down OBT here in Orlando, and you'll see police posted up all over the damn place. They do this tactic where they swarm people over here, they'll pull up with their SUV's all on the wrong side of the road 7 to 9 rides deep on Black people. Juan, Maria, and the White men sleeping with prostitutes in different parking lots go untouched.

Non-FBA: If you don't know how to ride, and you're not willing to, you can't wonder where the support is. You aren't immune to this. Americana over by Texas Avenue looks like a correctional facility in an outdoor setting with Haitians posted up with nowhere to go, and police just waiting to snatch somebody up. Don't listen to the tethers among you, and don't act like OPPs towards us. How many non-FBA are in office? How many of them can make these cops back up? Think about it. A tether will tell you we're making it up, but 12 have them stretched out like they just caught a body.

The riders know what it is, but it's too many of you who think it's up to you to just bury your head in the sand and stay away from us as usual. Do that if you want, as long as we aren't taking the blame for someone else's mess in a separate community, but understand that we aren't your safety net fighting for you to write a wrong. That's not our job. If a rider gets jammed up, that's a different story. Which are you?

FBA: The same applies to our own. Especially these old dried up backstabbing ass OPPs who know what it is and they're old enough to know better. The difference is, these people are in our lineage and will need care the older they get. It's cold, but if they don't care about how their moves affect our lives why should we give a damn about them?

Take care of the elders who stood on business, instead of standing against our betterment. Let Al Sharpton call them when they get lonely, and he can let them do face time with his grandbabies if they talk to his dried up ass. Let Al Sharpton slide them a couple dollars when they're short on their medication or need some food to stretch until they get their check. I'm tired of it and they need to know what it is when they work against us, and feel it. They need to feel it today.

They work against FBA Men, FBA Women, FBA Teens to FBA Babies still in the womb. These OPPs stand against us and our betterment. They don't care if your babies are in a screwed up situation so that the Democrats can exploit them. That's their family, not us.

When they get sick, they need to feel that cold ass chill of what it means to be a God Damned OPP. No love, no care, no understanding. I was told I was doing too much, but this isn't a game. These people are affecting our lives, and you just don't know how many Brothas and Sistas I see on the street now. That increased under Biden while they were doing the most for people who shouldn't be here. These people could be on whole missions for terrorist organizations, and they're giving them the damn world by way of people who got FBA votes and started taking things from FBA. Right or wrong?

I don't live in the Chi, but our FBA Brothas and Sistas had my support along with others from the Black Grassroots. These God Damned Democrats were trying to replace them with these illegals. They tried to play these shame games like they were wrong if they didn't want these unknown strangers, who might have bodies on their resume, living among them until Black Chicago gets evicted on their behalf.

We didn't let that shit happen though, and if FBA didn't fight, this wouldn't have been the result:

Remember what the filth in the Democratic party were doing with the Amundsen Park fieldhouse, a location where the community was able to enjoy a multitude of activities and Brandon Johnson made it his mission to give that to Migrants. They poured into the country to be a burden? They didn't bring shit, they were only here to take. Talking about they just came to work while FBA need work, and Ms. Loud and Off-Code Jasmine Crockett tried to make it seem like we didn't want any of these jobs. There are jobs that pay better than some of these jobs we're expected to work with less labor.

Break away from the assumptions that housekeeping is just for Latinos. I've seen FBA working like a dog in fast food restaurants or catching heat strokes outside in the sun for the low. I was out there at a young age until I switched up. Cleaning hotel rooms with less labor and more pay is far more beneficial. You aren't working your way into Heaven, these people don't see you breaking your back and think future manager. They see someone as a potential trainer to show their ideal non-Black candidates the ropes for a pending position.

So get more where you can, and don't look down on housekeeping. Find out where these people worked, get some info and see how you can fill the position if it pays enough. https://www.indeed.com/ Put something aside and let it grow. Save and go in on a biz with someone on the same page that you trust or do it yourself.

The situation in Chicago was under Biden, and don't miss what it says at the bottom. "a new initiative to house some migrants at 17 Chicago churches", how many of these anti-FBA churches do this for the homeless population among us? These aren't damn asylum seekers, these are leeches who were lying just like the Cubans. People vacation in their countries all the time, and they bypassed countries that are safer than the United States. I pointed that out many times. They only showed up for what they could get, and Illegals have come over and claimed the lives of citizens. They wanted to treat that like it was just a growing pain while trying to force integration among us that would weed us out, just like when Latinos become managers at fast food restaurants in too many instances. The crackdown gets them out, and the Black staff return. That swole up diabetic Latino that told a Black woman in Chicago "No more money for you" isn't an ally of ours, and he'd be the type to only hire Latinos after getting a pass to hope the fence illegally.

So everyone claiming they represent us, while bending over backwards for them, can't be protected by any without being questioned. They were going to help these Illegals get a nice tent city set up using contractors with our tax dollars, but God stopped it. Won't HE do it?

This tent city was going to have HVAC, beds, bathrooms, showers, kitchens to cook, and the contract called for several other benefits. They were going to include all-day child care seven days a week, vans to take illegals to school, doctor appointments, and community resources that should be going to citizens. The only time FBA see this type of shit to a lesser degree is when there are prison bars included. Isn't that something?

They wanted to make sure they were able to get on their feet, ignoring permits and everything. Open prostitution and understanding that they need the money. Like we don't. The democrats did this, they understand everything when someone else needs to get on their feet, and they back them up with resources. They give us their ass to kiss, expect us to vote still, and you have these old dried up backstabbers and minions trying to shame us into getting on board for that? Isn't that something?

Also, don't forget all those tents they were throwing away that belonged to FBA in Chicago, before the decision was made to do this tent city for people who aren't even citizens. The people who aren't in the roles they desire being in, helped make these things possible for Illegals. So don't get roped up in lies and imaginary red tape. They put that red tape out for us, are you willing to accept that? 

Tangibles are a must, do NOT listen to anything that doesn't result in us benefitting as a lineage. To hell with everybody else and their mammy if we don't benefit and they have food on their plate. They'll go through hell if they expect us too, but the more we start wielding our tithes in the community the better off we'll be. Forget Pastor Pork Chop's church, the people are the church. How can you make your next move your best move?

The Mirage of "Higher Office": How to Break the Cycle of Political Neglect

For decades, the FBA community has been sold a recurring dream: “If we just get this person into the next higher office, we’ll finally get what we’re owed.” We are told to wait for the next promotion, the next election, or the next "historic" seat.

But history shows this is often a calculated tactic—the exploitation of hope. While representatives climb the political ladder using our plight as their resume, the community remains in a state of "benign neglect." It is time to expose the truth: Any representative currently in office already has the power to act. They don't need a promotion to serve; they need the political will.

1. Exposing the "Promotion Trap"

The "Promotion Trap" is a tactic where politicians use community suffering as a platform for career advancement. By constantly aiming for higher office, they defer action on current promises, claiming they need "more influence" or "a bigger seat" to deliver.

• The Reality: Power is not just in the title; it is in the incumbency. A sitting representative has immediate access to federal funding, committee assignments, and legislative drafting.
• The Tactic: Using the FBA community as a voting bloc to reach a new tier of power, only to reset the clock on accountability once they arrive.

2. The Power They Already Have (And Aren't Using)

Voters are often led to believe that a single representative is powerless against "the system." In reality, even a junior representative has tools that can provide tangible benefits today:

• Community Project Funding: Members of Congress can request direct federal "earmarks" for specific projects in their districts.
• Committee Leverage: Representatives on powerful committees (like Appropriations or Judiciary) can shape policy and investigate corporate dominance that affects our economy.
• Casework & Oversight: They can force federal agencies to address local issues—from housing to employment—without passing a single new law.

3. How to Leverage Your Vote (Don’t Just Give It Away)

The political machine relies on "voting just to vote." To break this, the community must shift from loyalty to leverage.

• Demand a "Clear Ask": Do not accept general support. Demand specific funding, zoning changes, or legislative signatures.
• Ignore the "Party-Paid" Noise: Political parties often hire influencers to "rope in" the community. If their message is about "saving the party" rather than a specific community benefit, it is likely an exploitation of your vote.
• Vote Local First: National optics are flashy, but local and ward-level leaders often reflect the true direction of a community. Change starts where the representative lives, not just where they want to go.

4. Moving Beyond the Ballot

Voting is a tool, but engagement is the weapon.

• Constant Contact: Use direct, personalized messages to staff. Building relationships with the people who manage the representative’s desk is often more effective than attending a rally.
• Hold the Majority Accountable: If the party you voted for is in power, the responsibility is theirs. Do not let them blame the minority for their own lack of action.

We must stop being the fuel for someone else's career ladder. If a representative cannot deliver for the FBA community from the office they have, they do not deserve the office they want. Leverage your vote by demanding results in the present, not just promises for a "higher" future.

Time To Get Tangibles for FBA: Time To End The Games

The Lineage Shield: Bypassing the "Legal Risk" Excuse
