Black Americans are FBA

Get the FBAmug. A "Pretendian" is a term often used by Indians to describe someone who falsely claims Indigenous ancestry or cultural identity without any legitimate basis. This term is often applied to individuals who disrespectfully appropriate/change Indigenous cultures or traditions for personal gain (in an effort to seem more exotic or interesting than they really are.)
Similar to a “pretendian”, Black Americans have a play on the term "Foundational Black Americans" (FBAs) — "Fossilized Black Americans."
Just like “Pretendians”, Fossilized Black Americans cling to any minuscule amount of African DNA remnant from their ancestors, to try to legitimately claim that they are part of the black identity in the present (Even if authentic, dark-skinned Black Americans don’t see them as black; Even when they don’t look black; Even when they’re extremely distanced from blackness and black culture)
They are fossils of the former identity that their ancestors embodied.

Get the Fossilized Black Americans (FBAs)mug. 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.
