Before y'all ask -- here you go :
OK...
It's well known and documented on The Coli that I am not a fan of Mr. Nasheed. Never was -- and more than likely will never be.
But, I have to admit I listened to his little show last night -- and I agreed with ONE THING he said 100%.
That was:
Knowing our unique history is KEY --- and the most important part of the movement for reparations.
If some of us -- well most of us are walking around uneducated and misinformed -- spewing and repeating #fakenews about what our ancestors and family went through here in America -- this movement is dead in the water.
And I am talking about not only our ancestor's enslavement -- but what happened before, during and after the Civil War.
If you are a #ADOS/#ADOE -- or however you decided to classify yourself -- or if you are non-ADOS -- but a supporter of our movement -- you MUST start now on putting in time and effort on doing your own research.
By not doing so, you are putting the movement in danger -- you are also allowing others to gaslight you -- and attempt to define and tell your story incorrectly.
They will also attempt to degrade and discredit your claim - plus attempt to talk about White Supremacy -- when they have no clue what it is -- and what it looks like -- nor really fought against it like you and yours. Bring up a few key people who decided to join our people and ancestors in the fight -- and act like they turned over the world for movement that was in motion since 1865.
Be proud of your history and ancestors-- and continue to fight.
