Everything you said is correct and that is what initially drew a lot of people Yvette's ADOS and Tariq's FBA.
But those groups have devolved into becoming divisive distractions that have Black people on the internet doing time-wasting bullshit, especially as it relates to people's DNA, appearance, and lineage.
In the spring the word "Creole" trended on Twitter for nearly a week because one Black stripper got offended that a white-looking Black Creole woman identified herself as a Black woman. In the past, that would not have been an issue and given the history of Louisiana's Black Creoles, her readiness to identify herself as Black and accept her Blackness would be seen in a positive light.
But post-ADOS/FBA, now it's an issue. How much time and energy is going to get wasted on people trying to convince a subset of African Americans who largely only exist in small populations on the Gulf Coast and California that they aren't Black anymore?
This is where those movements have brought us. We've long gotten away from complaining about the snarky, condescending African or Caribbean.
