Countries are responsible for redress. As citizens, this has nothing to do with our INDIVIDUAL or FAMILIAL complicity. We don’t do a la carte taxation in this country.
I am not responsible for what Guam endured, but I have no qualm with them getting reparations under Obama.
Listen fam, #ADOS is right. About everything.
Everyone should be onboard with helping us disaggregate, even folks who call it delineation to avoid using the word disaggregation—because that’s the word ADOS uses.
Y’all so silly 🤪

#Reparations is a justice claim. Therefore, not supporting reparations is an indefensible position.
#ADOS is owed 20 trillion dollars as a downpayment. The military spent 8 trillion since the Iraq War. If anyone says reparations are not viable, give them those two numbers.
“Y’all weren’t slaves!”, they say.
But he survived a racial massacre, & the plunder that accompanied it, lived to 102, & still never saw justice.
For #ADOS, that’s America’s legacy.
Hughes "Uncle Red" Van Ellis died before seeing any financial redress from the city & county that participated in the destruction of the Greenwood District

Sharing again that my father was NOT advocating for a #colorblind society. Please stop taking one line from one speech (in which he also talked about #policebrutality & #reparations) to make it seem as though his dream was void of work, like teaching history & eradicating racism.
@QtipTheAbstract Reparations discussions *were not* triggered by George Floyd. The #ADOS movement triggered that discussion prior to Floyd’s death.
George Floyd was killed in 2020.
The reparations discussion was already making national news in 2019:
The administrator was right.
You’re taking advantage of programs not designed for affluent families.
You’re gaming the system, probably relying on “flat Blackness”.
This is why we must replace waivers and programs for “minorities” with lineage specific programs.
Some American history from my section #TX I’m a 9th generation Texan. And This ladies and Gentleman is why reparations are owed only to #ADOS we are the only group that carry the cost of Slavery @BreakingBrown@tonetalks@ADOSorg sugarland=Imperial sugar
