The Facts: Michael B. Jordan’s True Roots

This article addresses recent claims regarding the heritage of actor Michael B. Jordan and clarifies the facts of his family lineage.

Despite misinformation circulating online attempting to link Michael B. Jordan's family to Ghana, the actor’s roots are firmly planted in the American South and Northeast. 

Debunking the "Trojan Horse" Claims

The confusion often stems from a specific event: At the 2026 Oscars, Michael B. Jordan’s father, Michael A. Jordan (Tony), flew in from Ghana to support his son.

However, traveling or living in a country does not equate to being from that country through lineage. While Tony Jordan has spent time in Ghana recently, the family has explicitly confirmed their heritage is Southern American. Michael B. Jordan recently noted that his film Sinners reflects his own family’s experiences in the Deep South and the harsh realities of the Jim Crow era faced by his grandparents.

He is a Foundational Black American (FBA) with a family history that reflects the Great Migration and deep cultural identity within the United States long before the nation was officially named.

• Michael B. Jordan: Born in Santa Ana, California, and raised in Newark, New Jersey.
• His Father (Michael A. Jordan): Born in South Central Los Angeles. His side of the family has deep ancestral roots in Shreveport, Louisiana. He is a U.S. Marine veteran and former airport supervisor who was involved in the Pan-African movement during the 1970s. 
  
  Michael A. "Tony" Jordan, officially made Ghana his home in November 2025. Prior to that, he had been visiting and spending significant time in the country over the last few years. So with this truth: How in the hell does that make him of Ghanaian lineage?
• His Mother (Donna Davis): Born in New Jersey, with her side of the family tracing their roots back to Hope, Arkansas. She worked as a teacher and guidance counselor in Newark.

A Message to the Community

Authentic connections between non-FBA nations and the FBA community should be built on legitimate business and mutual respect, not deceptive marketing or tactics. Falsely claiming prominent Foundational Black American figures as "originally" from other nations to attract investment through our spending power or our "Reparations" is similar motivation I detect behind this lie placed on the Jordan family. They'll take a lie and try to transform it into a trojan horse quick, and delineation is one of the moves that forces them to stay on the other side of the line because of truth. The deceptive tactics we've seen and those that some of us have warned about, say what to you? What's the year of return? It's a lick that benefits them, not us. If Michael's father fell on hard times and didn't have the ability to take care of himself, he would have to come back home to the U.S. The lie that he's from Ghana wouldn't help him stay there.

U.S. Embassy Emergency Assistance

If his personal funds were completely depleted, the U.S. Embassy provides several "destitute American" services:

• Emergency Loans: The U.S. government can provide repatriation loans to destitute citizens specifically to fund their travel back to the United States. These loans must be repaid, and his passport would be limited until the debt is cleared.
• Communication Assistance: Consular officers can help contact family or friends in the U.S. to arrange for private financial transfers via services like Western Union or MoneyGram.
• Repatriation: In extreme cases of medical or financial incapacity, the embassy can coordinate an evacuation to the U.S. to ensure the citizen receives proper care.

So don't let people play in your face, and there are way too many people out here coming from elsewhere acting like opportunistic snakes. They want us to be blind to the BS and get upset when we see through deception. You have the cool immigrants who move respectfully, but there are tethers who move foul. In ways that leave us no choice but to watch our backs, our wallets, our homes, and everything else. Only a fool wouldn't.

The lies and twists undermine the real history and struggles of Foundational Black Americans, and that's something we must always treat as disrespect, and a hostile threat. Always! When someone shows you who they are, believe them. That's why we have to make things business only and keep it that way, because there are too many snakes out here trying to work as many angles as possible for their betterment. And all business isn't good business, so if they can't fly right they can take a hike. We see how many of these snakes got flipped for scams so business has to be legit if they want to do business with FBA, we aren't building with a deck of cards. We're building on bedrock and require the best so that we can fortify and weather the storm of White Supremacy. They would really be after our Reparations if the truth about our lineage wasn't easily accessible, so don't let lies slide and stand on good business.

Business maintains clarity.

The Prayer of Protection and Divine Retribution for FBA

Heavenly Father, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we come before You as Foundational Black Americans, united in our unique lineage and history. We ask for Your divine protection and justice according to Your Holy Word.

The Prayer of Protection and Divine Retribution for FBA

"Almighty God, You are our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer (Psalm 18:2). We ask You to stretch out Your hand against the wrath of our enemies and save us (Psalm 138:7).

• Physical Protection: Shield our bodies from physical assault and violence. We claim Your promise that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
• Chemical & Medical Protection: Protect our food, water, and medicine. If we drink or ingest any deadly thing, let it not hurt us (Mark 16:18). Thwart any covert plots against our physical health.
• Psychological & Social Protection: Guard our minds and spirits from abuse in schools, workplaces, and public squares. Break the staff of the wicked and the scepter of rulers that would oppress us (Isaiah 14:5).
• Defense Against Defamation: Silence the lying lips and deceitful tongues that attempt to demonize us (Psalm 120:2). Let every tongue that rises against us in judgment be condemned by You (Isaiah 54:17).
• Immediate Justice: Lord, You said vengeance is Yours (Romans 12:19). We ask You to bring swift and immediate punishment upon any individual, group, or system that attacks, plots against, or oppresses us because of our race and our FBA lineage. Let those who dig a pit for us fall into it themselves (Psalm 7:15). Let Your righteous anger scatter our enemies (Psalm 68:1).

We now place a divine seal of finality over every word spoken in this prayer. We decree that this prayer is irreversible, irrevocable, and immutable by any earthly or spiritual authority.

We specifically block and blind all monitoring spirits, familiar spirits, and practitioners of reversal. Any attempt to turn this prayer back upon me or my bloodline is immediately intercepted by a wall of holy fire. We command every assignment of retaliation or 'return-to-sender' directed at our lineage to malfunction and be rendered spiritually deaf, dumb, and powerless.

We establish a 'One-Way' covenant of blessing: What is released from this altar stays released; what is bound remains bound. No weapon of reversal formed against the FBA heritage shall prosper, and every tongue that rises in judgment to undo this work, we now condemn. It is sealed, it is finished, and it is so.

We stand on Your promises of justice and deliverance for the oppressed. In Your Holy and Mighty Name, we pray to You as The Most High. Amen.

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.
