Foundational Black America 

A group of black Americans who believe in an alternate-history, whereby they are descendants of slaves who rebelled in the 16th century and became "Natives" of a sort, integrating with Native American tribes (generally confused with tribes which would live in the region only centuries later). This alternate history is propagated by known, and self-professed, race baiter (and wannabe-cult-leader) Tariq Nasheed.

"I am not African-American, I an a Foundational Black American!"
"Sure Tariq, and aliens TOTALLY built the pyramids too, and also Jesus, and the original Hebrews, and the ancient Egyptians, and three Roman Emperors, and the ancient Moors were all black right?"

Foundational Black Americans/FBA 

An ethnic group/lineage of Negroid(wooly-haired and melanated) people of whom one group are descendants of the Negroid people brought over to North America from the continent of Africa via the Trans-Atlantic slave trade as bondmen and bondwomen. This aforementioned group's lineage goes back to at least the early 1600's on the continent of North America. Then there is a second group whose ancestors inhabited the lands of North America indigenously for thousands of years. This aforementioned group of Negroid's ancestors mixed in with the Manchurians (Chinese) whom arrived on the west coast of North America in 499 led by a Chinese Buddhist missionary named Hoei Shin. Hoei Shin named this land now known as North America 'Fusang'. The mixing in of the two groups of Manchurians (Chinese) and indigenous American Negroids produced the group of people known today as the American Indians. Over time the Indigenous Negroids of North America and those Negroids that arrived on the continent as bondmen and bondwomen intermingled and had an ethnogenesis which produced a unique culture and people being described presently as Foundational Black Americans/FBA. Other immigrant groups, especially other Negroid groups, have tried to characterize Foundational Black Americans/FBA as a cult, a hate group and as xenophobic. All of these characterizations are patently false. Foundational Black Americans/FBA are indisputably an ethnic group/lineage.

Those Negroid people brought over to North America via the Trans-Atlantic slave trade as well as those descendants of the Negroid indigenous groups that inhabited North America before the arrival of European colonizers; they both comprise the ethnic group/lineage now known as Foundational Black Americans/FBA.

Foundational Black Americans

Foundational Black Americans are those whose ancestors were brought to the United States through the Atlantic slave trade, prior to and during the nation's early development. Their history spans over 400 years and represents a distinct lineage and cultural identity. This designation establishes a necessary distinction between the unique heritage of Black Americans descended from American chattel slavery and that of more recent immigrant communities.

Foundational Black Americans created the blues, jazz, rock and roll, and hip hop & the heartbeat of American music.
