Saying the quiet part out loud
'Black supremacists' wage war on Black, Asian, all immigrants
On Monday, Oct. 31, I posted a video from the Supreme Court to share my experiences, analysis and hopefulness that anti-Asian hate would end in admission to colleges.
Wow. Did I hit a nerve. Thousands cheered the testimonial but in one corner of America I had unwittingly become a target for xenophobia and anti-immigrant, anti-Asian hate. Here is a window into their smears as a way to see that hate still exists not just among “white supremacists” but also “black nationalists.”
Consider yourself warned that they express vile hate but also feel emboldened that they will never prevail in their bigotry.
It took me a day but I figure it out: the haters belong to a group called “Foundational Black Americans” and they have had long battles with black immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa, whom they smear with filthy aspersions. A Reddit post from the trenches challenges them as a hate group. Leaders in the cause are called out for working with white supremacists. And there is a Change.org petition to designate them a hate group.
For now, I will build awareness about them, just as I would a white supremacist group.
Founder: Tariq Nasheed
The founder of “Foundational Black Americans” is a man who describes himself as a filmmaker, Tariq Nasheed. After the attacks on me, I asked a sincere question about why black “anti-racist” activists attack Asian Americans.
He didn’t take kindly to being asked a direct question. I became “this woman” “from India.”
‘this woman’
This is called PROJECTION...
People who come from cultures rooted in systematic anti-Black hatred, love to project like this.
This woman is from India, where their icons like Gandhi practiced anti-Black racism...
But FBA icons fought to help get her here

‘wannabe white supremacist ideology’
@AsraNomani @Marcel4Congress @CDouglasLove3 @nasescobar316 @ozprattboxing I don’t have “disciples” and your wannabe white supremacist ideology that Black people are one big gang, who everyone is responsible for the actions of others, is probably the reason why your anti-Black contempt is being called out, Asra

‘…coming to somebody else’s country…’
Among the first of the haters, @PDeniseLong scolded me for “coming to somebody else’s country, suing to destroy things that don’t belong to you,” after having “fled a country ordered by skin color, caste, discrimination, and anti-Black racism.”
Okay. More disturbing: she’s a contributor to Newsweek and a Hill TV show, applauded by the #FBA movement and espousing its xenophobia and bigotry.
We are American descendants of slaves, foundational Black Americans AND the “Freedmen” of the 13th, 14th, 15th amendments—for whom a whole FREEDMEN’s BUREAU was built. We are also the “Black people” for whom 1960’s civil rights were fought for & written. Collaborate or repeat hx.
We’ve been pushed into an Either/Or way of naming & seeing social dynamics. Multigenerational Black Americans (Negroes/Freedmen/DOS/Foundational/Blacks/African Americans) are THE essential example of Both/And. Stand firm in the Both/And of who we are & what we are here to claim.
THIS IS WHY I LOVEEEEEE MY REPUBLICAN PARTY 🎈 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 shoutout to @PDeniseLong DOING AMAZING WORK FOR #FBA #B1

Imagine being this proud of coming to somebody else’s country, suing to destroy things that don’t belong to you, while—instead of fixing it—you fled a country ordered by skin color, caste, discrimination, and anti-Black racism. #India #Asia #AffirmativeAction #SCOTUS
@PDeniseLong @MS_Neg POC piling on to rob FBA of the Fruit of our Ancestors' labor and our labor. Most of these immigrants wouldn't be here if not for our struggles. We must only fight for our interests from now on. NO MORE COALITIONS #B1
@Robert___1 Meet "anti-racist" @PDeniseLong. She proudly schools me on "coming to somebody else’s country, suing to destroy things that don’t belong to you..."
Denise, if I didn't see "Humane Antiracism" in your bio, I'd have mistaken your views for White supremacy.

In conversation with white supremacists
Why are these cultists supporting white supremacists but talking about Africans? #ADOS #FBA #SecureTheTribe #Freedmen y’all in bed with White Nationalists now? 😂 @PDeniseLong wow.. not sure what conversation I would have with a white nationalist .. y’all different different

“tool of white supremacy”
What’s it like @AsraNomani to be a tool of white supremacy and antiBlack American hatred? What’s it like to feel that your life’s work and purpose are fulfilled by dismantling American Negro set asides? Did you count the costs of your actions or were you just being careless?
She was an “inclusive” expert at UNESCO.
Mostly Hindu Indians challenged a @UNESCO Inclusive Policy Lab 'Public Profile Expert' for accusing an Indian Muslim American woman of 'fleeing' to 'somebody else's country, suing to destroy things that don't belong to you' & 'not fixing' Indian color, caste, anti black racism...
Denise - Pamela Denise Long @PDeniseLong
@PDeniseLong Imagine being a woke black woman writing such a racist and disgusting tweet about another woman of color. How long until you delete this vile tweet?
We aren’t going to be be shamed.
What an atrocious and deeply racist statement. I am proud to be an American, I am proud to be an Indian, and I am proud to stand firm against affirmative action. https://t.co/Wk25boqZwf

Denise - Pamela Denise Long @PDeniseLong
@PDeniseLong I'm proud of being born in India, I'm proud of being Indian-American, and I'm proud that I don't traffic in gross stereotypes like you.
@PDeniseLong Check your bigoted words first. None of us "fled" here. We all happily contribute to the growth of both countries. 🤦🏽♀️🤬😡
‘…get a flight back to where you came from in Asia…ignorant leeches’
I will never understand or respect ppl that did NOTHING for this country undercutting the one group that has had EVERYTHING taken away from them. You all could easily get a flight back to where you came from in Asia. I have no respect for these inconsiderate, ignorant leeches. https://t.co/AkBlAL8lj0
Asra Nomani #WomanLifeFreedom @AsraNomani
@AsraNomani It’s too bad that you couldn’t stay in India and make it “fair” and better for you and your family. Instead you fled to a place literally built off the bodies of my ancestors. Legislation put in placed specifically to repair decades of wrongs.
@FBAAllDay81 @AsraNomani What’s going on today should give us a reason to stop supporting these people, because obviously they don’t want to support the very people who helped them and built this country.
@AsraNomani I use to seriously have empathy for these immigrants. But, to see how they’ve collectively said to hell with what those black ppl been through to get these rights it doesn’t suit them. We had no business supporting immigration. These ppl are just as racist and backward as whites.
@AsraNomani People with immigrant backgrounds have no shame. The we saw opportunities narrative is cringe - why stop here fight for loopholes to be removed from the 14 amendment and civil rights as those laws shouldn’t apply to anyone who isn’t African American. SMH
Slur black immigrants are ‘tethers’
Recently, @EBONYMag celebrated @K_JeanPierre for their annual Power 100 awards ceremony, honoring native Black americans in 2021. But the problem is, she happens to be HAITIAN.

“Perfect test score drones”
@CharlesNegy @AsraNomani Basically Harvard etc can admit all 4.0s with near perfect SATs. They choose not to. Reason is, the world is not run by perfect test score drones.
I am tired of guys like you whining about affirmative action. You (collectively) only attack race but not legacy admits. Hypocrisy
‘study for years…start summer 8th grade…”
@webjumper42 @PDeniseLong No Asian admits will increase substantially especially if standardized tests are allowed again as they study for years before the actual test..I know some that start summer 8th grade
‘Uncle Tomism’

@AsraNomani @Moms4Liberty You think you’ve masked your own racism through your Uncle Tomism. You haven’t.

‘Team White Supremacy’
@AsraNomani Asians do not seek civil/equal rights under the law. Asians seek to cement their place in American society as a loyal anti-black buffer caste for Team White Supremacy. Mission accomplished. 🏁

@AsraNomani @HillTVLive @robbysoave @briebriejoy @PDeniseLong Indians are white. Your family were never American chattel slaves. What are you crying about? Affirmative Action was never written for you nor your people.
Oh yeah, here is one of your people telling you the truth. 👇👇👇

‘White adjacent buffer class’
@AsraNomani Asians are a White adjacent buffer class who fly under the radar of white supremacy while simultaneously reaping its benefits used to undermine the progress of Foundational Black Americans
@AsraNomani The audacity of you. Your incessant need for white adjacency has led you to believe the 14% of Black students at Harvard, are the REASON other AAPI's weren't admitted. Not the fact that 36% of white students were 'legacy' admits. Or that AA is WHY AAPI students make up 28%. But,
‘casteist Indians’
@bugimane @AsraNomani @GTB52895442 The casteist Indians like u are here in US b'cos of the rights won by Black Americans after a long struggle, but racist freeloaders like you are actually working with white ruling class in depriving the representation & opportunities Black Americans.

‘white aryan Indian,’ ‘upper caste family’
@AsraNomani @GTB52895442 You look like a white aryan Indian, ie a descendant of the Aryan colonizers
Your upper caste family is part of the ones that torture and kill dark skinned Dalits at will, correct?

‘white-aligned immigrant’
“White-aligned immigrant.” 🤣 Tell that to my dad, 88 and 5’2 because he starved as the British diverted food from India during the Bengal Famine of 1943. He still feels in his throat the coarse sorghum he waited in line to eat. He became a nutrition professor to help others. ❤️ https://t.co/pQRtmY82YP
One of "The Blacks" @HowTheWestWS
A response by a Twitter user made me laugh aloud.
@AsraNomani @googlewell @CoHNAOfficial @coalitionforTJ @AsianAmProject @NBCAsianAmerica @chien_kwok Asra is really an immigrant herself. This dude thinks he fought 'white' colonist and then got put on a ship, not his ancestor. He is using same talking point white nationalists used ("We" built this country, not you immigrants).
Disgusting people.
‘You Asians are the pets of white supremacy, flat face’
‘mascots of hate’
@AsraNomani Ma'am the anti-Black hatred coming from the Asian immigrant society in America is well documented. Asians aid White supremacist terrorists just to be mascots of hate. Weird thing is it's White racists killing Asians & you aid them in their hate. You hate your ppl & mine. Pathetic
‘yt supremacist with a yamakas’
Not to exclude, a “Foundational Black American” attacked Jewish people, saying, “Jews are a bunch of yt supremacist with a yamakas.”
Be warned. This tweet is what we will see against Jews, for Kyrie Irving: “Jews are a bunch of yt [white] supremacist with a yamakas.” FBA in handle is “Foundational Black Americans,” a racist, anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-Asian Black nationalist group led by Tariq Nasheed.
‘…need for white adjacency’

@AsraNomani remember this betrayal.Remember, our BLACK CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS, FOUGHT AND DIED, for these rights and provisions 57 years ago. We had no LEGALLY enforced rights, until the Civil Rights Act. And they also FOUGHT for the Immigration Act of 1965, which allowed for you and your 4/

‘…weren’t here in 1619…’
@AsraNomani 1 - It's a shame, Asra, you weren't here in 1619 when you could have thwarted the slave trade. Or in 1832, to prevent the enactment of the Black Codes and fought the KKK. In 1900, you could've ended Jim Crow.
You know I don't actually disagree with your positions, but your
@AsraNomani You would not be here save for the fight that we, American Descendants of Slavery, fought to make it safe. You arrived after the struggle.

‘…never say thanks…”
@PDeniseLong @MS_Neg They are the leading force against the affirmative action. it was the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s open the door for millions of Asians to come to America. and they never say thanks for the sacrifice to black America. anti-blackness.
‘shut your damn mouth,’ ‘musty underarms’
@AsraNomani @Robert___1 @PDeniseLong What's funny is that you immigrate into a fluid situation where its never been a true meritocracy
Claim it is one since the powers that be don't treat you like it treats Black Americans
Then accuse that group of white supremacy when all the white supremacists agree with you
Many Asian Americans come to this nation with DEEP anti-blackness while BENEFITTING from the STRUGGLED fought by BLACK AMERICANS (#Freedmen) here and abroad. Address THAT in your community, be thankful, pay it forward, and shut your MOUTH!

Blaming Asian Americans for #StopAsianHate
@AsraNomani You mean the same Asian Americans who spearheaded a #StopAsianHate campaign that blamed ALL of Black America for random crime done by Homeless People who were most often "Immigrants" and/or mentally deranged or do you mean the Asian Americans fighting against Affirmative Action?
@AsraNomani Affirmative Action is ONLY for FBA. I should of been that way from the get go. Now white women, Asians, Hispanics and non-black poc all take advantage the goodies we fought for. We were duped into including everyone in the 1960s.
@hwd_sports @AsraNomani Asians put themselves in our crosshairs. We didn't come after them. They assimilate to their white counterparts in every aspect of society. And at the same time benefit off the freedoms and civil and equal rights that we shed blood for.

@PDeniseLong @AsraNomani @JonC4D1 @leechcheng @HillTVLive @Harvard @UNC @BKCHarvard @AsianAmProject @StopAAPIHate @wu_wenyuan @FreeBlckThought Imagine an immigrant abolitionist, who happens to have come from a racist country herself, arrives in America and she has her children fight to end slavery. You're the white racist from Alabama telling her she can't fight because she's an immigrant and slavery "belongs" to him.
A Twitter thread captured the responses.
Identity is a bi*ch. Your birth country never leaves you and pops up depending upon which side of political spectrum you ruffle feathers. @AsraNomani, an American, is being asked to go back to India and fix caste system because Blacks don't like her views on US eduction system.
