“ Jamaica is not America” — Don Lemon. And the IDEA that

and I YEARS to build was dismissed as the work of bots, which is a total lie and smear, without any digital evidence. I am demanding an apology from all parties.
The FIRST EVER
#ADOS
conference is coming your way October 4th and 5th. It’s time to use our movement to advocate for a political agenda. Let’s get to work fam! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We need a designation of
#ADOS
as a specific group so that this 👇🏽doesn’t happen anymore.
People are intentionally blurring the line that separates ADOS from other “brown” groups so that they can grift off our struggle. It’s erasure.
We are no longer going to eat the costs of 400 years of systemic oppression while other “Brown” people emigrate here and eat the fruit & opportunity. Stop trying to access our political capital by disguising yourself as one ☝️ of us. Build your own narrative/legacy

Stop 🛑 telling me what a *historic* moment this is for Black women & start talking policy.
Y’all had 8 years of babbling about Obama’s *historic* moment, & Black America ended up w/ less than when we started. We’re not falling for the banana in the tailpipe twice. Move on.

Let me see if I understand:
After slavery & hundreds of years of oppression, America needs a study to figure out *whether* we get reparations, but it only took 24 hours for both the House & Senate to approve $13 billion in emergency aid for Ukraine?
Why does Obama keep saying “our ancestors” when referring to Civil Rights leaders? Obama’s father was Kenyan. His mother white. He isn’t ADOS & isn’t anchored in the
#ADOS
experience at all.
It’s so offensive for him to keep this lie going
Odd how Trevor Noah understand why he as a mixed-race South African would not be included in any sort of reparation in AMERICA for
#ADOS
more so than this so-called Pan Africans.
That's the difference between someone trying to cloak themselves and an ally.
Wait! What? The *real* villain in American chattel slavery is white supremacy, and the white people who upheld it as law, but the Harriet movie made a Black man the villain? If y’all don’t throw this whole movie in the trash 🗑!!!!

“The family of Robert Davis, 19, who is accused of killing local journalist Josh Kruger, said that Davis was just 15 when he and Kruger began a years-long relationship involving drugs — and that Davis told them Kruger was threatening to post sexually explicit videos of him online…
Black women have been nursing white babies and cleaning white homes since slavery. Black men have served in every American war. We’ve been front & center, desperately trying to prove our humanity to White America for generations. It’s humiliating and it doesn’t work.
#ADOS
Michelle Obama: "I can't make people not afraid of black people. I don't know what's going on, I can't explain what's happening in your head, but maybe if I show up every day as a human, a good human ... Just maybe that work will pick away at the scabs of your discrimination."
Kamala has a whole white family, including hubby & stepkids. As Top Cop in Cali, her staff was mostly white, with some “people of color”.
Why do y’all keep projecting like this? Why can’t u see people for who they are?
“If u were born in America and have lived there for 300 years, those are Americans. Ur no longer African.”
He’s right tho. I’m not mad.

Two years ago I repped the American flag 🇺🇸 and got roasted, so I’m just kind of sitting back, smiling at how normalized it is among

It’s more complicated.
Diddy’s job was to create the illusion that Black billionaires exist & were created through hard work & business expertise.
Once he went at Comcast & Diageo, he violated the contract. And his protection was a part of that contract.
Going at these…
Uncle Luke says, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you," and suggests that Diddy suing the multi-billion dollar liquor company Diageo is why he's being targeted by the feds for sex trafficking.

“At times of greater racial and socioeconomic divisions in the late 1960s, the two set their focus on disadvantaged children — primarily inner-city black children.”
#ADOS
isn’t just a reparations movt, but a need for reparations explained thru the lens of historic income inequality & wealth calcification, and understanding that as whites r inheriting wealth, we’re inheriting the poverty of accrued disadvantage & bottom caste existence 🇺🇸
When white women complain about getting paid less than white men, my first response is... go talk to your husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles, & nephews about that. They run the world. That u have no influence over the men in ur life is not my political problem.

These Democrats are taking a knee wearing Ghanaian 🇬🇭 kente cloth. You can’t make this symbolic silliness up.
We’re

By telling me the American flag 🇺🇸 isn’t *MY* symbol, you’re telling me that this isn’t *MY* country. That’s a lie. And I refuse to be a perpetual outsider in the country not just of my own birth, but of my ancestors as well.

Meghan Markle wasn’t trying to fight white supremacy. She was trying to marry into it.
She doesn’t get any sympathy from me bc marrying into a racist, white monarchy didn’t work out.
Carry on.
@EndWokeness
This is basically why Sesame Street was created in the first place—for Black (ADOS) kids.
The People of Color designation is certainly a problem. No such group exists.
Every now & again, I think about how we let Barack Obama, a Kenyan/white man in his lineage, tell
#ADOS
that we don’t get reparations.
A man who built his whole life & identity on top of
#ADOS
, became president & shut
#ADOS
out. We gave Obama an opportunity that was meant 4 us
Think long and hard about that shirt, fam. It doesn’t say “minorities are the future” or POC. It’s specific. And do you think Ocasio-Cortez asked “Who is Latino?” the same way she asked “Who is Black?” We have no friends.

I want to know how much Black women earn in comparison to a white women, not just white men. And who is married to these white men with all this money? Usually white women. Wealth is held inside white families, not gender.
#ADOS
I don’t think anyone actually believes that
#ADOS
, or our political framework, is xenophobic. To the contrary, I believe there’s a small but loud, outraged group, fuming at how we’ve developed the clarity to discern between allies & agents of white supremacy.
"But instead of backing the direct compensation of African-Americans for the legacy of slavery, the Democratic candidates are talking about using tax credits and other subsidies."
This is a con. Don't fall for it.

There’s that word again: “tiny”. Tiny, but we single handedly changed the political discourse in the Democratic Party? Soon enough everyone will learn that our agenda is mainstream amongst non Boomer Blacks. I’m patient. I’ll wait.
#ADOS
They love 2021 Venus & Serena—two wealthy sports legends.
They get absolutely giddy w/ adoration over Serena’s marriage to Alexis Ohanian.
What they cannot stand is that these sisters had a Black father who was so fundamental to their success that they made a movie about him
I don’t know if Christianity is the culprit here. Too many Blacks practice an exceptionally docile form of Christianity. It doesn’t have to be this way. I don’t recall Jesus demanding his followers to act as doormats
This is an example of why solidarity can’t be based on race/melanin. These are Black leaders starving their own Black people.
Solidarity is based on shared values/interests/goals.

After Native Americans won a huge settlement from the U.S. government over misappropriation of their land, they made it clear that they were pivoting to self determination. I support it. Go for it. But Native Americans are not a part of the conversation on what

Dear writers/academics, stop grouping Blacks & Latinos together in data. Example: “The rate of incarceration for whites is X, but it’s higher for Blacks and Latinos.” No. We’re 2 distinctly different groups w/different histories. Break the data up 2 reflect that.

Imagine: A president getting elected w/ a ‘Change You Can Believe In’ slogan, then letting Citi-Bank pick his cabinet, then opposing reparations, then refusing 2 prosecute banks 4 targeting Blacks...imagine this guy circling back *AFTER* his presidency w/ an agenda 4 change🤨
I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action.
There is nothing racist in acknowledging that Kamala Harris is not a descendant of American chattel slaves &, as such, cannot claim or own that lineage. She’s a Black woman, but she’s not
#ADOS
in the same way I’m not a descendant of Jamaican slaves, even if I’d been born there.
And please, stop telling me I can’t tell Botham Jean’s brother how to grieve. That brother made his grief a public spectacle, so I’m entitled to make a public comment. The End.
Most mainstream hip hop is not “for the culture”. It’s a prison/prostitution prep course
It teaches recklessness in a country that severely punishes recklessness
Shade Room shared this & eats off destructive/degenerate behavior
Bet they start building more women’s prisons
“Yvette are you saying Kamala Harris can’t get the American Black vote because she’s Indian/Jamaican?!”
No. I’m saying she needs to try to win my vote 🗳 like a White woman. I’ll assess her agenda, but she can’t “sistah gurl” her way to my vote because we ain’t sistahs.
I think the real reason some of y’all hate slave movies is because you are reminded that what was in the slave is no longer in you.
There is no community, willingness to fight, to endure until the end—for a future you may not live to see.
You are not your ancestors.
So if Kamala Harris’s mother ran away from a racist America, and into an affluent, white neighborhood in Canada, and Kamala herself, once she returned to 🇺🇸, became an efficient tool of the apparatus that overpoliced & oppressed
#ADOS
, by what right is Kamala claiming us now?
For some, the attitude re reparations seems to be “I’ll support if u convince me we can win🤔!”

Because we replaced real journalists with alleged scammers & celebrity gossipers/worshipers, Candace Owens can go on these shows & not get any real pushback on how her ideology impacts our community.
Everybody in this pic earns six figures *or more*.
That’s not representative…
This bootstrapper thinks his opinion matters? Reparations is a SPECIFIC debt that is owed. It’s wealth. It’s FULL citizenship. It’s not a 4 year education. I blame Black celebrities for sitting down and allowing this man to ask them dumb & incriminating 🚔 👮♀️ questions

What Kamala Harris & every other "brown" candidate needs to learn is simply: U don't need my identity to get my vote, just my agenda.

Black woman on MSNBC just said: “Black people are not a monolith... we don’t just care about reparations... we care about food security as well”
This woman doesn’t understand that the CAUSE of food insecurity in

neighborhoods is directly tied to wealth. For goodness sake
This is the most awful, African anti
#ADOS
sentiment I’ve seen on screen. Understand that ADOS have *NEVER* created tribes to exclude Black immigrants. In the country of our birth, we fought for rights that u enjoy, and get this in return?
Tweet anything negative about the Black - Brown coalition & twitter fingers dont miss sending them angry 😤 “divide & conquer” tweets @ me.
But apparently you can trash Black men all day & not be considered the least bit divisive 🤷🏽♀️. We see y’all.
Regarding all these BLACK people who are far more invested in ending

Ppl keep telling me to try & get in at a bigger platform. Here’s the problem: Big platforms want Black faces, but not *AUTHENTIC* Black voices. White America doesn’t want me in their living room. They want a Black face parroting 🦜 mainstream Democratic talking points

Imagine an alternative past, one where we got 40 acres & a mule, & didn’t get discriminated against by the Dept of Agriculture, etc.
No one knows 4 sure, but I’d bet the South would be rich with

Of the Democrats on the panel, Eddie S Glaude is the only

That “woman in a room” still has all of the privileges of whiteness. White wealth is held in white families, not gender. White women have WHITE MEN as their husbands, uncles, brothers, sons, grandfathers etc. Pelosi is a millionaire. There is NOTHING in this photo for

Every professional woman over the age of 50 gets this photo. The only woman in a room full of powerful arrogant white men. Only in this photo she has the power. Third in line for the Presidency: She IS the MF’ing Speaker of the House! They have to LISTEN!
