Last I checked, @repjohnlewis hadn’t added his name to H.R. 40 to STUDY reparations for #ADOS . Understand that our leaders aren’t *OUR* leaders. #LineageMatters #Reparations2020 🇺🇸

So if Kamala Harris’s mother ran away from a racist America, and into an affluent, white neighborhood in Canada, and Kamala herself, once she returned to 🇺🇸, became an efficient tool of the apparatus that overpoliced & oppressed #ADOS , by what right is Kamala claiming us now?

Because we replaced real journalists with alleged scammers & celebrity gossipers/worshipers, Candace Owens can go on these shows & not get any real pushback on how her ideology impacts our community. Everybody in this pic earns six figures *or more*. That’s not representative…

For some, the attitude re reparations seems to be “I’ll support if u convince me we can win🤔!” Newsflash: Warriors don’t require assurances of victory before battle. They understand that the skill and ferocity of their combat determines the outcome. #ADOS #reparations2020 🇺🇸

It’s so interesting 🤔 how Pan Africanists spend most of their time slamming #ADOS rather than convincing African & Caribbean leaders to assist them in creating an infrastructure for the kind of solidarity they envision. Go do ur work & let us do ours.

This bootstrapper thinks his opinion matters? Reparations is a SPECIFIC debt that is owed. It’s wealth. It’s FULL citizenship. It’s not a 4 year education. I blame Black celebrities for sitting down and allowing this man to ask them dumb & incriminating 🚔 👮‍♀️ questions #ADOS 🇺🇸

What Kamala Harris & every other "brown" candidate needs to learn is simply: U don't need my identity to get my vote, just my agenda. #ADOS GenXers and younger are transitioning to an agenda driven group as opposed to an identity driven one. Black boomers won't be around forever

Black woman on MSNBC just said: “Black people are not a monolith... we don’t just care about reparations... we care about food security as well” This woman doesn’t understand that the CAUSE of food insecurity in #ADOS neighborhoods is directly tied to wealth. For goodness sake

This is the most awful, African anti #ADOS sentiment I’ve seen on screen. Understand that ADOS have *NEVER* created tribes to exclude Black immigrants. In the country of our birth, we fought for rights that u enjoy, and get this in return?

All these Black Blue Checks coming out with they lil raggedy feathers ruffled bc they were banking on using this ahistorical & offensive Harriet movie to elevate their profiles, & they know #ADOS torpedoed the movie & their grift at the same time. Good. NEXT!

Ppl keep telling me to try & get in at a bigger platform. Here’s the problem: Big platforms want Black faces, but not *AUTHENTIC* Black voices. White America doesn’t want me in their living room. They want a Black face parroting 🦜 mainstream Democratic talking points #ADOS

Imagine an alternative past, one where we got 40 acres & a mule, & didn’t get discriminated against by the Dept of Agriculture, etc. No one knows 4 sure, but I’d bet the South would be rich with #ADOS acreage. We’d be the heart of the agriculture & farming biz in America.

Of the Democrats on the panel, Eddie S Glaude is the only #ADOS . Joy Reid is the daughter of a Congolese father and a mother from British Guiana, while Karine Jean Pierre is the daughter of Haitian immigrants. Without Glaude on that panel, we’re shut out. Steele’s GOP

That “woman in a room” still has all of the privileges of whiteness. White wealth is held in white families, not gender. White women have WHITE MEN as their husbands, uncles, brothers, sons, grandfathers etc. Pelosi is a millionaire. There is NOTHING in this photo for #ADOS women
