School daze
Another one.
Can't we just have on megathread instead of polluting the forum?
#ados is about getting what our direct grandparents went through with building this nations wealth. Nothing else. I'm pan African to the core but I also want my just due from America. Just like I want Jamaica to get theirs from England etc.
The creators of #ados don't fukk with Greeks they literally are our biggest enemies online.Agree.
Posted this video to show the discord between those who are ADOS and see the movement as a diss to Pan-Africanism. It also shows the other side -- of ADOS who have no -- and really don't care about a connection to Africa -- past knowing their ancestors were sold from there.
It's showcases the rift between AADOS and Pan Africanist in the AADOS family.
No disrespect to our African brothers and sisters though....
Before someone says something about the actor --
Giancarlo Giuseppe Alessandro Esposito was born in Copenhagen, the son of Giovanni Esposito, an Italian stagehand and carpenter from Naples, and Elizabeth Foster, an African American opera and nightclub singer from Alabama.
It's bigger than that though
Dap was sandwiched between two worlds. On one side, the uneducated and unemployed black community who despised him for being educated-- they Samuel Jackson made it a point to remind him "Y'ALL N***AS [with an a] and you gon BE n***as, JUST LIKE US. N***AS!!!"
On the other side, Julian is just as "educated" as Dap, if not moreso, but he rebukes him and tries to put him back in his place too. "Back to 'Mother A-fri-caaa'-- THAT'S BULLshyt! Without question, we are Black Americans."
Ultimately both sides are scared to break themselves free of the social conditioning slavery and white supremacy placed on our psyche:
It's bigger than Pan Africanism vs DOS. Dap represented what it means for us to take agency in defining our OWN heritage, defining our OWN future, and the battles we'll face trying to free our own people.
- You're a slave I'm a descendant of slaves
- You're a n***er I'm a n***a
- You're American My station in life is confined to America only

Don't link any of that to the current purpose of #ados it's strictly a business transaction. Has nothing to do with culture or any of that stuff. Unpaid labor and physical and mental damages.They may not - but that doesn't take away from the context of why I posted this video.

yeah I notice Chinese and Mexicans down south are making money with their 'black' barber shops. I was shocked when coming back stateside to see Spanish and Chinese 'black' barbershops.
Dominicans I get, but the other two?
