A presentation on Black disaggregation by the Urban League where a speaker talked about a Caribbean, Sub-Saharan, and other Black category but not a US slave descendant category and when someone else mentioned an ADOS category they “paused” (ignored) his question
@TheFilesWithDUB Still blown away at people who mistake the cause for the cure.
Tariq Nasheed’s pan Africanism helped create this mess. #ADOS fixed it.
You can’t credit the person who created the problem with fixing it.
I hear all that & agree but do yall know we still have actual Black Panthers in prison? Real freedom fighters? What’s the plan there? Y’all gonna stop with “spider”?
This is why our community will always produce more rappers than revolutionaries.
Are people finally beginning to realize that there’s a pattern when it comes to Black immigrants, Black foreigners, and their progeny disrespecting American Descendants of Slavery? 🤔
@_EarnieBanks The Telcom act of 1996 basically created and then stuck us with Jay Z and Diddy for thirty years. On popular culture youth music.
It lead to the death of local radio and a transition to cookie cutter hot 100 replays. Run of the mill songs that played wide for decades too long.
@TorraineWalker For what exactly? Stealing ADOS talking points to galvanize grifters like yourself? We remember you running in ADOS spaces because YC was present but when I asked if you were ready to join a chapter to put in some work you disappeared.
Like we said before in our Community space, ADOS is 10 to 13 years ahead of the group when it comes to politics.
That lag time has cost us so many battles up to this point.
People can either catch up now or continue to suffer the consequences.
@RealTimBlack@TorraineWalker Bullshit, Tim. Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore were writing and talking about the unique difference between ADOS and the diaspora while Tariq was still putting out pan-African documentaries. From Hidden Colors to 1804.
Yall need some integrity. Damn
What stood out to me the most from this panel discussion about the recent Da’Vinchi interview is how the host and panelists would get close to the truth, but still miss the mark.
I think the pursuit of unifying all Black people creates some major blind spots for some people.
@Black_Action I'm so tired of the lies
There are West Indians that have been living in the US for more than 100 years and they do not have the same outcomes as Black Americans like in Housing for example
Im not sure if @garrison_hayes knows this or is intentionally lying
“Fannie Lou Hamer's America explores and celebrates the lesser-known life of a Mississippi sharecropper-turned-human-rights-activist and one of the Civil Rights Movement’s greatest leaders.”
