This is why #ADOS is one of the most powerful and transformative ideas that we have gotten in the last century. Ppl don't understand how ahead of the curve @BreakingBrown and @tonetalks were in anchoring our identity to lineage.
@clakeosol@ic_eey@silver_aep Black immigrants with a "French" passport isn't equivalent to a Black Americans who has been in America for around 400 years and traces lineage back to early European settlers and Indigenous communities. Black American helped built America before its founding as well.
We need an internal moral reckoning in the #ADOS community because 50 Cent has always been awful, but too many people giggled right along & rewarded his behavior.
A community unwilling to establish moral standards, enforce boundaries, and ostracize bad actors will eventually be defined by them.
@fatxmx@ICON_DRAFTS@teacake1995 Because most of the Indigenous ancestry is from the early 1700s meaning that it is far too removed to be detectable on autosomal DNA test but are vindicated through genealogical documentation.
You all cannot even trace your lineage back 5 generations while there is a documented paper trail for Black Americans going back 300 to 400 years in North America.
The irony with this post is that Africans are some of the biggest skin bleachers on the globe to the point of taking pills to try to lighten the skin of the baby in the womb. Also, this movie clip is about a young African child being adopted by a White British family.
Tu critiques les Africains, mais le jazz et le blues portent des héritages de rythmes ouest-africains, notamment mandingues. Le R&B s’inscrit aussi dans cette histoire afro-américaine. Même le gombo louisianais a des racines ouest-africaines. L’histoire ne s’efface pas.
Its so funny how being a slave is only weaponized against Black Americans yet in the same breath the will complain that Black Americans act like they were the only ones who experienced chattel slavery #lol
