@TayWilbertSport @FTrilliams Another shocker, a lot of people knew who I was and were nice. I even had people tell me they’d been wanting to have the lineage discussion for a long time. It was interesting.

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

N’COBRA had a lineage versus All Black people reparations debate at their conference, so #ADOSAF came through to make our argument.

Interestingly enough, there are people inside N’COBRA who agree with the lineage framework.

Breaking every chain, except the chain that keeps you yoked to carbs and swine, I see…

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

I keep seeing intellectuals bemoan the end of America as we know it. The question I have for them is what are they going to *DO* about it.

The analysis is no longer necessary, but the action is essential.

Explaining without context is diabolical as you did here:

[LNSparklin @LNSparklin1]

@kevinblue345 So, you are saying this white woman should 'not' have felt threatened by two black men with a firearm (which, by the way, she would not have known was legal or illegal - and, it would not matter, either way)?

[Kelz @KelzRetail]

@brkidd88 @Al_B_Done People were also displaced for Obama's library in Chicago. People have selective memory though!

Aas a passenger, you don't have to show id. Your way of thinking is backwards and so are the idiots that liked this video.
Stop normalizing illogical, dumb shit!

[Anthony Aviles @aja2130]

@GigglingGanon Why is it so hard to show ID? Anyone who declines to show ID is either an asshole or has something to hide.

[Kelz @KelzRetail]

You are the original pos!

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

She is the reason why Karmelo Anthony thought it was ok to stab Austin Metcalf.

She raised a pos that ended another childs life. She is the racist.

[Kelz @KelzRetail]

& I bet you're a pedophile!

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

I’d bet she’s a single mother.

@bgmaxo601 @Fillyjawn86 Phil Scott lives in Texas. He had that woman that goes around screaming in a cowboy hat on his show but didn't announce the fact that Texas is getting an local ADOS chapter, is hosting a #Juneteenth2026 event and Yvette Carnell will be there.

On his death bed. It still doesn't change the fact that he blocked black kids from entering UA!

Both are terrible.

[Chad @Masouca78]

@RobertS67228762 @GovernorKayIvey Sure, but his apology isn't his legacy, in the end he's nothing like Ivey, he grew a conscience, it's impossible for her. She's too close to death for it to matter.

[Kelz @KelzRetail]

@ClutchPoints @CAlmanza1007 The respectful thing to say is: You gotta give the @spurs credit!

Why deflect from the fact that the Spurs are a force to be reckoned with!

Furthermore, Chet, & SGA were exposed in the clutch!

[Antonio Moore @tonetalks]

One of the greatest things that could happen as a result of the chaos of the #iranwar for #ados Black America is to render dribbling as a basketball player, joking as a comedian, and tackling as a football player the same as somersaults. A nice but trivial set of talents.
A generation has been lost on odd ball hunger game escape hatches that I believe were created by capital as control structures to derail uprising and political thought.

Everyone wants to raise a D1 athlete but no one wants to raise a global thought leader.

NY officials, citing shifting politics, put off reparations study another 2 years

New York state officials, bowing to political headwinds, have agreed to push back a long-awaited report on reparations for slavery to 2029, officials said.

Assemblymember Michaelle A. Solages, chair of the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus, told Gothamist the two-year delay, which was embedded in the latest state budget, came at the request of the state’s Reparations Commission, charged with studying the harm tied to enslavement.

Solages, a Nassau County Democrat, said the “erosion of Black power in the South” as well as the Trump administration's attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives necessitated a slower, more considered approach to the commission’s work.

“Now  it's more important than ever for us to have a report that is accurate and up to date, to look at the systematic disenfranchisement of not only Black individuals but those who have been marginalized for so long,” Solages said.

Aides to Gov. Kathy Hochul referred questions to the commission, formally known as the New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies. Seanelle Hawkins, chair of the commission, did not address the extension in a statement, but said the state panel had collected 200 hours of testimony to date and would continue to host public hearings across the state, including a May 23 hearing in Hempstead and a May 30 hearing in Harlem.

“We encourage all New Yorkers to share their voice and engage the commission, in-person or virtually,” Hawkins said.

The commission was initially required to submit a report last summer, but that deadline was pushed back to 2027, and now to 2029, nearly four years after its initial deadline. The inquiry gained momentum amid the racial reckoning that followed the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis in 2020.

Hochul signed a bill establishing the commission in 2023. It was designated “to examine the institution of slavery, subsequently de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against people of African descent, and the impact of these forces on living people of African descent and to make determinations regarding compensation.”

The law recounted the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in New York in 1627 through the development of Jim Crow laws and discriminatory 20th century practices like redlining.

“The consequences of these past practices are still with us today,” the law stated.

But efforts to address past and ongoing harms have been significantly scaled back since then. California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed several measures that would have provided reparations, arguing that they were “unnecessary” and made difficult by fiscal challenges.

At the national level, President Donald Trump’s administration has taken aim at race-sensitive initiatives in both the private and public sectors. A series of Supreme Court rulings have also struck down race-conscious measures related to affirmative action and voting rights.

Activists and elected officials have pushed for reparations payments for decades but public polling indicates that reparations are deeply unpopular, with nearly 7 out of 10 Americans expressing opposition, according to a 2021 Pew Research Center survey.

State elected officials say nonetheless that the issue of reparations must be studied closely, particularly given New York’s history.

In the mid-18th century, 42% of New York City’s white residents directly enslaved Black men and women, according to the Equal Justice Initiative, and in the 19th century, 40% of all revenue from the American cotton trade passed through the city, helping generate enormous wealth for white financiers and shippers. Many elected officials and city leaders opposed emancipation, according to the group.

State Sen. James Sanders, a Queens Democrat who has championed the cause of reparations for years, said the deadline extension had to be seen in a larger context.

“The Reparations Commission extension is being proposed for one simple reason: The Reparations Commission must be given the time and protection necessary to do this work thoroughly and responsibly,” Sanders said in a statement. “The history of slavery and systemic racism in New York spans centuries, and gathering the records, testimony, and data required to fully understand its impact cannot be rushed."

Solages said that in addition to the new deadline, commissioners would be indemnified in order to protect them from legal exposure.

“Right now, the commission is not considered officers under the Public Officers Law, which means that they could get sued for something they have done in their official capacity,” Solages said.

Never forget that Angela Rye is a propagandist who spread misinformation about #ADOS.

She is not to be believed or taken seriously.

[princss6 @princss6]

The NAACP wants college athletes to boycott states over gerrymandering — but won’t demand the same from millionaire pros, billionaire owners, or leagues cashing checks in those same states.

And somehow they’re even quieter while the NFL, NBA, and celebrities flood Black communities with gambling ads and betting partnerships.

College kids get the moral lecture. Billion-dollar sports empires get a pass.

That’s not activism. That’s a sign of obsolescence.

Christian Conservative republicans ain't nothing but anti-black racists!

Agreed. No study is needed.
If we'd gotten our reparations. the boycotting of SEC sports would be irrelevant. Dems are not radical enough to deliver policies demanded for their base (black Americans).
Meanwhile, conservative republicans bending and breaking everything.

A certain generation has been screaming on repeat about Black voter turnout but think this moment has nothing to do with it.
This moment is an illustration of what precisely caused it to decline. Oh well!
