I second this sentiment.
We are American Descendants of Slavery (#ADOS), not African or African-American or just “Black”.
Lineage matters. Nationality matters.

How do the people tethered to the bottom for 400 years have a responsibility to do anything except dig ourselves out of this pit?
If Angela Davis said this, she’s wrong.
Biden apologizing to Africa for slavery is like a crack dealer apologizing to his plug for the damage done in the drug trade.
Those who bought slaves don’t owe apologies to those who captured & sold them.
Biden owes #ADOS. https://t.co/DgG59H9q6d
We #ADOSAF created the #BlackAgenda to address the divides faced by all Black Americans.
We encourage the #BlackAgenda to be used as a tool, each one of the 12 items is backed by data and aim’s to satisfy the Black Community’s present and future needs. #ados#Reparations

Unfortunately, anti #ADOS massacres precede Trump. And the fault lies with an entire country, not just one man.
In fact, I’d go so far as to argue that a racist country produces racist politicians 🤷🏽♀️
Let’s fix that
Just in case you were wondering…..

Wealthy Black orgs like the Urban League were involved in managing the Black poor.

This book gets at it
