Here is another example of the desire to hijack any domestic political movement and turn it into an international movement where the needs of #ADOS are ignored

They admit that BLM (Movement for Black Lives) is an internationalist movement
They hope to exploit our people's domestic political movements to "remap America's place in the world"

Winston James explains how the Caribbean had a tiered system of racism with "Whites at the top. In the middle you had the Browns. And then at the bottom you have the Africans, the dark ones." đ§
This is very different than the United States.

Basically, in the US system of slavery and racism mixed race lightskin and mulattos at the end of the day were still "negros" and in their system they were not.
This is why many Brazilians don't see themselves as "Africans" even tho Brazil imported the most Africans

Legally and socially, mulattos or "mixed people of color" were in a different social position than "Black" people in Jamaica, but the same is not true for the US.
Can we all have a serious bipartisan conversation around the history of immigration in America and itâs impact on #ADOS? The Immigration Act of 1864 was one of Lincolnâs most signature pieces of legislation prior to the #EmacipationProclomation of 1865.

âThis law legalized and bureaucratized labor recruitment practices similar to indentured servitude to encourage immigration to the United States and economic development.â
âAlthough many poor Europeans had arrived as indentured servants during the colonial period, the practice had ended in the 1820s.âCongress repealed this law in 1868 after protests by labor organizations.

The author of this article is participating in a complete erasure of American Descendants of Slavery and their accrued disadvantages in America. Barack had a $500K Trust fund.

By way of his Mother..not his lineage as an #ADOSâđž. We have been here way before the Europeans from the âOld Countryâ. TheIrish were âMade Whiteâ.The Italian and the Jewishcommunities were âMade Whiteâ in JimCrow America. Racism is overt. #LineageMatters

âCongress envisioned a white, Protestant and culturally homogeneous America when it declared in 1790 that only âfree white persons, who have, or shall migrate into the United Statesâ were eligible to become naturalized citizensâ. #Separationists, #Segregationists, #sympathizers

.@BillClinton and @JoeBiden broke the black community. To this day, they nor @BarackObama, made any effort to fix what they broke, because it worked as intended. #NeverBidenNeverHarris #ReparationsOrDie #ShowUpVoteDown.
No matter how @TheDemocrats try to re-brand Joe Biden as a "civil rights leader", he is an ole school segregationist. That has not changed. #NeverBidenHarris #ReparationsOrDie ADOS101.com

There is an economic war being prosecuted against American workers through global wage arbitrage. The U.S. economy was hijacked & by globalists when Reagan ascended to power and broke the backs of organized labor. Successive administrations have proceeded apace.

It was executed by the BOTH corporate (they're corporations) political parties reaching peak treachery under Clinton. His administration unshackled monopoly finance through t/repeal of Glass-Steagall, ended limits on foreign & consolidated media (control the narrative) & telecom.
He did the mass immigration version of tariff reductions, stripping U.S industry ass-naked b4 putting it on the pole for de-industrialization & "global competition" (WTO); which was really the ownership class divesting of U.S. industrial preeminence for cheap Asian labor.
Blacks have always practiced Group Economics. Mound Bayou, MS was founded by former Slave Benjamin Montgomery in 1867. It was one of the earliest Self Governing Black Communities in America. It covered 846 acres of land. #ADOSPolitics npr.org/2017/03/08/515⌠@NPRmelissablock
The problem that Blacks have had throughout history is a lack of Political Capital that protect their economic interests. Mound Bayou, MS is a perfect example of why a political framework is so important. #ADOSPolitics @BennieGThompson @jerameyanderson mississippitoday.org/2018/01/24/mouâŚ
To add context to the Political repercussions of not having agency, more than half of the 98% Black population in Mound Bayou, MS live below the Poverty Level. They have a population of 1,408.
#ADOS 2020 Holiday Schedule - If we don't remember and celebrate our milestones and setbacks, no one else will. I'm asking that all #ADOS find a way in their communities/families to observe the following holidays. #LineageMatters
These are suggested days of observance & activities. It's up to each person, family & community to decide if & how they will observe and holidays. But we do think these are some of the most significant events that form the creation story of #ADOS Any suggestions? #LineageMatters
#ADOS January 1 - Emancipation Proclamation Day - Let's commemorate the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation (which we acknowledge didn't end Slavery for all) with communal gatherings and dinners to honor the past year and forge ahead renewed in the new year. #LineageMatters
The debt is the debt. You donât get to be against it based on a concocted worst case scenario. Was that ur response to the Jewish community, Bernie? And redistribution & govt protections would make #ADOS producers & owners, not just consumers. washingtonexaminer.com/news/naacp-croâŚ
Do people think anti-Semitism is fixed by paying reparations to the Jewish community? Of course not! So why is Bernie pushing his âconcernâ that the government will give #ADOS $20k in reparations & say theyâve fixed racism? Itâs ridiculous! #LineageMatters đşđ¸
Any reparations plan would include more than just a check. It must be accompanied by action to make us a protected class, open up funnels to business capital that isnât predatory, etc. And Jews who are descendants of Holocaust victims are still getting paid. Not a âď¸ time payout.
âI find myself once again in the same position as President Obama,â McConnell told reporters. âWe both oppose reparations. We both are the descendants of slave owners.â
And neither u nor Obama were #ADOS. politico.com/story/2019/07/âŚ

Is it at least becoming apparent now how horrible Obama is/was for Black politics? This is a prime example of how Obamaâs awfulness will be used as cover for white politicians into the foreseeable future. #ADOS đşđ¸
Obama lived a white life. He wasnât rooted in the cost of American chattel slavery & that accrued disadvantage. And those of us who are rooted in it are now paying the price 4 allowing Obama to cast himself as a member of our #ADOS tribe.
FACT: Shirley Chisholmâs (nation's first black congresswoman) father was from Guiana, mother from Barbados đ§đ§. And yet despite this she represented the interest of ALL people â including African Americans who trace their ancestry to the first slaves in the USA đşđ¸.

Thanks to @sahilkapur for the quote. The ignorance and hostility is breathtaking. Letâs take this apart.
1/ Barack Obama was not Black Americaâs reparations, just as previous white presidents didnât not represent a payment to White America
# ADOS

# ADOS
2/ Slavery was just the beginning of the cost to American Descendants of Slaves. We live with the accrued disadvantage from slavery/ Jim Crow /redlining / convict leasing etc. The past is forever with us. The racial wealth gap is the lens thru which we can easiest count that cost
3/ America didnât try hard enough after the Civil War. Instead of redistributing land to former slaves, America gave power, resources & land back to Confederates. America failed. Not my problem. Fix it. #LineageMatters #ADOS đşđ¸
Stop looking forward to the âbrowning of Americaâ as some kind of savior era bc 1) âBrownâ people internalize white supremacy and express anti-Black bias routinely & 2) âBrownâ people who emigrated here, as evidenced by Coatesâ Obama interview, may feel #ADOS r not owed a debt
The way we flatten âbrownnessâ is odd and, I believe, an intentional way of manipulating #ADOS politics. There is no solidarity around âbrownnessâ anywhere. Groups are often tribal, or they form solidarity ideologically, etc, but a browner America wonât save us #LineageMatters đşđ¸
In America, nearly all wealth is held in white homes, but globally, this shifts. There are âbrownâ multimillionaires and billionaires. And theyâre no less ruthless than their white counterparts. Being âbrownâ doesnât infuse a person with virtue. #ADOD #LineageMatters đşđ¸
So @ministter went on @amjoyshow to destroy the #ADOS movement. Ugh. So tiresome. But letâs do a thread to expose the ignorance.
1.@ministter U wouldnât be up early in an ugly canary yellow shirt talking about reparations if it werenât for #ADOS. We put #Reparations2020 on the presidential platform, not you. U donât deserve a platform to speak. About anything. U havenât achieved anything. U failed.
2. As the leader of a failed political tactic, u donât get to criticize us @ministter. U get to sit on the sideline and observe #ADOS, the new wave of #reparations2020 advocacy. By what right r u on TeeVee?
We are at the edge of something phenomenal when a conservative columnist opens the door to reparations. And as foundational as it was, that Coates essay was 2014. #ADOS have renewed, enlivened, and brought specificity and understanding, thru data, to reparations debate đşđ¸
I appreciate the Coates essay for providing a mainstream foundation for the reparations debate in 2014, but everyone, including Coates, abandoned the real advocacy, data, and carving out of a specific group required to push for reparations legislation. #ADOS #Lineage2020 đşđ¸
The data and specificity of the designation of #ADOS as a specific group doesnât get u a Coates genius grant; it gets you harassed and mischaracterized as xenophobic. But thatâs the work @tonetalks and I have been doing for years now. Itâs the sacrifice weâve been making đşđ¸
#ADOS isnât just a reparations movt, but a need for reparations explained thru the lens of historic income inequality & wealth calcification, and understanding that as whites r inheriting wealth, weâre inheriting the poverty of accrued disadvantage & bottom caste existence đşđ¸
1) So the criticism of âreparations advocacy didnât start with #ADOS!â is a misnomer. We never claimed that. But we did use the inequality work of economists like Piketty & Darity to show that money comes thru inheritance now, not labor & there is no catching up. đşđ¸
2) We dealt a death blow to do-for-selferism, showing thru Darityâs work & others that #ADOS disadvantage is not the result of cultural deficits & thus, cant be fixed through individual agency or effort.
