FBA Don't Owe Non-FBA Our Attention and Money

There are a number of spoiled people out here still pissed off that FBA didn't go hard in the damn paint acting like die hard fans of people we don't listen to like that. To hell with the super bowl, if FBA don't own it. I still haven't heard a Bad Bunny song in my life, I let his fans have that. We don't force them to listen to our music, and a number of people listen to copy it. You can hear somebody riding buy with a trunk rattling because they don't know how to set it up right, and the music sounds like a version of an FBA rapper in Spanish. Same flow. We don't go at them, but they can't say they aren't sitting up eating off us. Our creation changed Fat Joe's life and instead of moving like Big Pun, this dude tried to shit on us.

One thing they can't do though is force us to support them. Listen to the way that some of these people talk, they think we owe them something and are pissed that we don't bow down. Then you have people out here who look like us, who might be cosplaying like tethers would, trying to shame us. I don't know one Latino who offered me or anyone in my family a lane to go into business with them to open a grocery store. You can look at Fat Joe and point out that he's doing a podcast with Jada, but Joey's clinging on to relevancy after pushing the line. Why didn't he go do a podcast with Math Hoffa or Busta Rhymes? He didn't want to be on that side, because that represents the outside. Last time I checked, he humbled himself quite a bit didn't he?

God don't love ugly, look at what happened to him:

He tried to lie about Latino's contribution to Hip-Hop in August 2022, then turned and sued BDO USA, a company founded by immigrants in September 2022. They were accused of brazenly stealing millions from this dude. That wasn't FBA.

He said what he said about FBA in 2024, that would be his last time hosting the BET Hip Hop Awards, and he essentially killed the award show. They wanted to bring in someone from the outside on a discount and saw the interest dwindle like crazy, but if we can't identify with it, we're out. We don't have to watch and support it.

Look at what happened with Fat Joe's ex-hypeman and the accusations. I don't know how true it is that Joey was laying up with 15 and 16 year old girls, but he was coming at us. He's had all types of stuff come down on him, a number of things were from us. Big Pun's family, Cuban Link coming at him. He said this man left them in a bullet storm.

Look at what happened with Essence Fest, tethers were talking all types of shit about FBA, and wanted us to keep that running off our support. They owe money after turning it into Immigrant Fest. Any smart businessman would know that it's a horrible idea to fix something that isn't broken. Do a Fest for your people afterwards on a smaller scale if the turn out won't be as strong and get some of the residuals from that. It would trickle down and the immigrants who are loud and proud when it comes to us and ours can put their money where their mouth is. Tethers are good at talking, but won't build shit in their homeland, and won't support shit to either in their homeland either. Regardless, we can go a different route when it comes to a festival. 

The Brown Sugar Festival in Clewiston, FL was something we went to growing up. We just have to make sure that while we open the door for others to enjoy our festivals and support them if they choose to, it's never a wise thing to start giving up spots for people to start filling slots because that's when they try to flip what we've created.

This happens a lot of the time because they want representation and want to see more of themselves in our events, but the problem is its OUR event. They have the ability to go and do their own, but they usually want to try and funnel us and our money into their stuff. That's not our job, and that's where you see a lot of this anger coming from Non-FBA people about this half time show shit. 

Our people have bigger fish to fry and a bitch cannot and will not make us sit down and watch something we have zero interest in because they feel like we need to support as non-White people.

What race is listed on Bad Bunny's license while they try to play that game?

They want us to be their audience, their customers. Meanwhile, we're focused on getting to this money. I'd just say don't go blowing it, stack your bread and invest in things that will grow even more of it for you. Stay safe out here, don't let someone convince you that you're better off not carrying something, and stay on code. Keep praying the worst on our enemies, and pray that their weapons have no effect on us, pray for our health, pray for our success, pray for the betterment of our lineage as I continue to do daily. This only takes a shot at the opps who want to affect us in a negative way. Everybody else, just leave us be and stay out of our way or you know what it is, that's a choice to insert yourself.

Look at what happened during the 19 virus and people started avoiding Asian restaurants, they tried to force people into those restaurants. I believe Jason Black covered that at the time. They don't pour into our businesses on GP, so keep this in mind.

We're seen as competition to a number of these people. Look at how a number of them lost it over Black Panther and them wanting representation. Acting like a desperate hoe trying to get attention, but when they got Blue Beetle, they didn't get that energy from us. We didn't care, and they didn't either because it was the lowest grossing film in DC Extended Universe. They want us to make their shit hot.

Look at how they got caught in the Los Angeles City Council, those weren't allies, those are opps. They're no different than the Mexican Mafia who firebombed Black people in Ramona Gardens out there in Los Angeles to get Black people out of the neighborhood. Might be tied to them too. These eight anti-Black Mexicans will be release between 2026 and 2037, and they should be deported soon after for their terroristic hate crime.

I continue to call for Tithes to be shifted away from these slimy pastors and into FBA businesses and endeavors. We will see and feel in a positive way. A number of people are finally catching on, and I can't wait to see when this happens. Speaking of slimy, I'm lumping Dr. Umar into this too. This clown is STILL trying to get us to split up our reparations with these other people.

This damn fraud has already taken advantage of a number of people, he's everywhere else except working on that school. He's never been married, has kids out of wedlock, but he's always preaching and begging like these damn pastors.

This dude has abuse allegations, allegations of misconduct, got labeled a conman and pimping "culture" for personal gain, and the list goes on. Now he's trying to create a group to RIVAL our FBA lineage because the Foundational part has gained a lot of traction. Why? It's usually the same with him, he's trying to get money out of someone, but we don't owe him our attention and money either.

Just last year a woman with a special needs child, said he took advantage of her and got her to take care of mom. I won't say that intentional demonization isn't real, but do your research on this dude. Listen to the way he talks and don't line yourself up to get played by people like him either. We don't owe him, he owes his children and he owes the investors of that school. He wants our reparations dumped on non-FBA and where is the crowd of non-FBA to help him finish that school? If he's entitled to any reparations, he can split his up just like anyone else who feels the same way he does.

What Do YOU Want For The Future? Are YOU Willing To Fight For It?

Before I get started, I'm still hearing certain things being said verbatim. Zero mentions of where these certain people got it from, but I see that as these people not wanting to appear as if they're anything but all knowing. We don't know it all, but they don't believe in synergy like that unless they can profit off of it. Even then, in certain aspects there are people with the ability to create lanes for other Brothas and Sistas but they're focused on themselves. What does that say to you? You don't have to stop with them, because that's not where progression stops, do your part. If someone moves a certain way, no need to get into it with them but you know to keep your distance if that's how they play it. It would actually be more beneficial if they moved with synergy, because one hand washes the other and that's how we should be moving, but you can do that with other Brothas and Sistas who move with that in mind.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Using pieces of what others say, will have someone sounding as if they're all over the place at times. If the talking point sounds good, they'll jump on it to monetize it, and if they don't realize someone else's opposing outlook sounds good they'll end up sounding like a hypocrite.

So keep flourishing and beware, one person isn't all knowing, but history offers truth with irrefutable facts. If you're the type to just take something that sounds good because you can monetize it, you do a disservice if the topic is deeper. There are serpents on their job to do the devil's bidding to pick any and everything we do apart, so we have to come as concrete as possible and deeper than surface level. If you found truth in something someone said, give that Brotha or Sista their props and expound in a way that makes it your own. You have the ability to think, so add to it.

Now with that said, I wanted to create this post because of the recent Essence Fest BS that occurred. It's been a consistent slick progression to weed out Black Americans. Essence Fest hit a wall in 2025 and it's undeniable. Know that once it was sold to non-FBA, we had to treat it was non-FBA and move on to create and support something FBA-owned. FBA never took that approach to piss on other groups because we made something, that's why so many people eat off of the things we make but they fight like hell if even one of us appears to borrow from something that culturally aligns with them. So it's okay to eat off our table, but it's time to fight for every crumb if its their table, even if kickbacks would occur. Look at what happened with Michael B. Jordan.

Cultural events and the desire to take over are two different things. We've even seen this when it comes to Juneteenth and people trying to disrespectfully engulf our history with their own, we saw it with Black History Month too, which is why I prefer that Freedmen have our own month. That got me thinking about what prisoners do when they check paperwork. We're already looking at people and questioning their background, and I've been doing that for quite some time now. Prisoners look at paperwork for a number of reasons to know how a person moved to end up in there, to know who's who and all that.

There are people trying to create these lil arguments acting like what they're actually doing. We aren't working for the betterment of everyone else without a single fruit to bare for ourselves. Only a fool would do that, and a number of people expect us to live like that. You already know that's how a number of these GOD Damned politicians move, which is why a number of us go so hard in the paint against them because they operate against us. FBA needs FBA support, so if you're FBA/Black American/Freedmen/Black Native or however you identify as a Black American Freedmen with a deep lineage here, pivot. Don't get on bandwagons about how we should support Costco and others, see what you can back that's FBA. Your dollars, your views. The more we have when it comes to resources, the more we can do. That's why more FBA Brothas & Sistas should be all the way active when it comes to slipping in to grab those jobs that illegals were eating off of. If you're homeless, and you need to get on your feet, why wait? Sleeping on a couch or in a car? Jump on that money.

Construction jobs, housekeeping, waste management. It's people turning their nose up to housekeeping in a nice cool building with hotel rooms. You can make decent money without working on a grill or out in the hot sun, and if you land a management position, you're looking at over $30 at a number of these jobs. Don't sleep on these job slots because that's money you can stack and save. Tuck money, spend wisely, live below your means to get in position, don't mess with off-code churches, tithe in the community which can impact FBA businesses. Waste management men who collect the trash can get almost $150K a year. You know what that can do for your life? Shid, think about it and if you come across a job that you know could put somebody else on their feet from the community, if it won't hurt you to share the link then share that sh*t. It's not that hard, especially if it's somebody that looked out for you before. I don't like when someone has people looking out for them and riding for them but they don't have the decency to even say thank you or look out. That's the type of people who doesn't believe in synergy, that's why some teams fail. They'll have the best player in the league and will fail because the team doesn't work together and there's no I in team. What do you want for the future? Do you want to be f*cked up and a** out or are you willing to fight to help with our progression?

None of this has anything to do with attacking anyone else, but some of them will see this as an attack. For these individuals, I don't give a damn how they feel. We have the right to provide ourselves with self-care. So that's how we have to move because the past and the present has revealed the truth that it won't get better until we as FBA/Black American Freedmen make a shift. Even the slight pivot we've made has already shaken up this country, could you imagine if we start spending more money with FBA businesses and even focusing more on FBA content creators? The growth will be undeniable. We get enough neglect as it is from the outside, we can't have boycotts from within and expect to reach the next level. And yes, I keep on mentioning these pastors out here. Understand that these people know the mayor, they know politicians, and they know the chief of police. How many of these pastors speak out on our behalf? Look at how these politicians are able to get the police in their city to stand down when it comes to these illegals. They can't put in a word for the people dumping tithes and love offerings on them on a weekly basis? Giving much needed resources on a weekly basis? So we have to make it make sense, and if it's a waste of money to tithe in these churches who are working with the enemy, we're better off blessing people in the community who are hurting, donating to FBA grassroots that really move in the streets to make an positive impact, and also supporting FBA businesses. Even if you hit up an FBA BBQ shack with tithes to feed struggling families in the community. The Sista over Moor Threads on the Emancipation Media channel on Youtube, hipped me to the fact that FBA created house parties to help struggling Brothas and Sistas with rent. I remember something like that back in the day and people selling plates, but that term came from FBA. We knew how to make money move in impactful ways, and we still can without anyone else's permission.
