ADOS Got Bernie Running

[LightSkinYeshua]

That’s nice but we’ve (ADOS) have been patient for over 400 years. We’re tired of being told that it isn’t time for our justice to served. I.e. waiting on the comfort of our oppressors. Imagine that!? So, fukk the House and the Senate. They all need to come together and do the right thing. We’ve sold our peace for too cheap.

Do you seriously believe reparations is gonna stop poverty and oppression in the black community?

Also, where is this money going towards. No one has explained this. Is it going to individuals or the community?

 

[panopticon]

Reparations should not be a check or lump sum of money
The way some people act that money will be gone before long

Free associate degree programs
Exemption from fed and state tax
Guaranteed jobs

Stuff like that is easy

Why not?

Trust fund babies blow their inheritance on cocaine, strippers, and fast cars every day in this country. Nobody bats an eye. There's a reason they say "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations."

Reparations are literally the inheritance due every ADOS.

Some will waste their inheritance. Others will invest it wisely. What folks do with their reparations is completely up to them.

"Hey, Bernie, What about reparations?"

 

[Standing on business]

You have a point. The subject of reparations for Dems is a heluva catch 22 scenario. A lot of Black pundits recognize this too which is why they're not jumping on board enthusiastically. They view the ADOS crowd as willing to cut their own nose to spite their face. They may not be entirely wrong either considering how they view Trump as a threat. It's going to be interesting to see whether or not ADOS will actually be a thing the closer we get to 2020. Right now it is NOT a thing other than among certain circles via social media like here or Twitter. The average Black voter has not a clue what ADOS is, and that's what Democrats and established Black pundits are banking on.

Cuz if ADOS did become a thing with enough Black people, the question to consider would be whether the Black vote would be sufficient enough to offset the likely white backlash vote against items such as reparations. There's the very real possibility there wouldn't be a strong enough Black vote and it would be political suicide for a DNC candidate in a national election to embrace ADOS and reparations too enthusiastically. Might be better for a Dem to simply pay lip service to pacify what they view as the more extreme Negros of the party. I also wouldn't underestimate how many so called liberals would either stay home or vote third party if ADOS became a thing. In the same way we look at the LGBTQ crowd fighting for their interests and getting attention, same with the Latino crowd and illegal immigration, or white women via feminism, etc., and our response as Black folks is that the Dems are going too far or not paying us enough attention.........I can see white liberals doing the same in kind in response to ADOS. Such is the problem via identity politics and a party trying to appease everyone.

For the record I don't care one way or the other as it's all one big pipe dream to me, but before someone accuses me of whatever. Just musing.

Half of the US is going to vote red that’s just the way it is. The blue needs the fake progressive white people and minorities to win. Whoever stands up there and says we’re going to push and make sure all blacks get reparations simply will not win. They would alienate all the other minorities and the fake progressives would turn their back on them. I’m just thinking logically.



None of our white “peers” are going for that shyt behind closed doors.

Another one bites the dust.

He's done.

 

[I Really Mean It]

So?
Even these Dems gotta come up off these tangibles or we staying home.

These boot lickers keep throwing out the Trump card, as if he's worse than a neoliberal Democrat distracting us with a dangled carrot while handing off the fruit of our struggle to other "marginalized" classes who never put in any work. FOH. If that makes me #Trumpset,

 

[Maximus Rex]

Stop playing stupid. Republicans don't receive damn near 90% of the black vote.

You stop playing stupid why haven't Republicans started appealing to 90% of the black vote

The reality check to the idiots and cac agents.....

 

[panopticon]

It is not the constituency's job to understand or figure out the logistics of getting shyt done. It is the constituency's job to say what they want and for the politicians to figure it out, that's what politicians get paid to do.

People really let politicians and supporters of politician pimp them out of what is right by trying to focus on how to get shyt done.

Nobody else in the world got this political culture of always trying to do the politicians job for them for nothing.

Why should anybody who is not a lobbyist or an activist or politician care about how things work? When you buy the newest cellphone, do you know how that works? Do you know the science behind touchscreen or the Android Assistant or the OS? No, you just want it to work.

People sat for 8 years listening to Obama's excuses for why he didn't do anything that he said he was gonna do in the Hope campaign and the main argument which wasn't an argument at all:

"You just don't understand how things work, you gotta understand and be patient."

That's not the job of the constituency. Our job as non-politicians is to put pressure on the government, not cape for politicians failure to get things done. Not to sit here and understand every intricate detail of how Congress works. That's not our job.

If you wanna behind over backwards and get fukked by politicians who are multi-millionaires and getting free healthcare and making connections across every industry so their kids can be wealthy and work on daytime TV, then be my guest, but for the rest of us, we gonna say what we want and say continue to say what we want and hand out consequences if we do not get it.

100% Facts.

 

[CHICAGO]

Breh most white people off top ain't supporting no candidate that wants reparations for black people just out of sheer spite.

It makes it hard for us because no candidate is gonna win just off the strength of the black vote alone, so we'll have to compromise a bit.

YOU NEGROS ARE SO SHORT SIGHTED...

ITS ALL ABOUT THE LONG GAME.

NO ONE IS GONNA CAVE IN IF YOU CANT EVEN SIT OUT 4 YRS
BECAUSE "THIS ELECTION IS SO IMPORTANT"

I DONT EXPECT REPARATIONS IN 2020...

THEY HAVENT GIVEN US shyt SINCE
THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT
AND KNOW WE'LL VOTE FOR THEM EVERYTIME.


WE SIT OUT IN MASSES
ALLOW THESE fakkitS TO LOSE AGAIN,
AND THEYLL COME BEGGING FOR OUR BLOCK
IN 2022/2024

YOU NEGROS SCARED OF WHAT?

TRUMP HASNT BEEN ANY WORSE THAN
ANY OTHER PRESIDENT TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

ITS EVERYBODY ELSE WHOS FEELING THE PAIN NOW
AND THEYRE SCRAMBLING.

IF CACS DONT WANNA VOTE OUT OF SPITE
LET THOSE fakkitS HOLD THEIR OWN NUTS
AND CHERISH YOUR VOTE.

#ADOS – American Descendants of Slavery

 

[AlainLocke]

People are really worried about White people voting to spite ADOS?

Look it is like this.

You talk to White people like they are five and gently explain to them why.

"Hey, you see, my kind worked for your kind for hundreds of years without pay. They were unable to be educated or participate in the economy. Now is that fair Mr. White Man and Mrs. White Woman. You'll get mad if someone does not pay you for your work right ? And that was not the only thing that happened, your kind terrorized my kind. Your kind also discriminated against my kind and continue to do so, and discrimination not only feels very bad, it also impacts socio-economic prospects. See Mr. White Man and Mrs. White Woman, racism and discrimination is not about individuals but about groups. And unfortunately, we have no control over where we are born or what race and sex we will be, but when do have control over how we treat each other. Your group treated us very bad and I know it's not your fault on an individual level, but it is your fault on a group level because you inherited the wealth of your ancestors. If you want all this racial baggage in this country to go away, you must support reparations. We are a young country and we can make this a better place for all of us, or we can fight and fight until there are no more American Blacks and you will have supported a slow genocide. That's what reparations is about, preventing genocide.."

The problem with the modern liberalism and the Democratic Party, is that they just hate unsophisticated White people. If you don't live in a metropolitan area, the Democrats and liberals just hate you. One thing about the 60s that people forget is the White masses being organized against capitalism by Black people. Black people talking to White people straight up and saying, "This is what your kind is doing to us and this is what they are doing to you. You might as well join us because if we win, we ain't gonna have you living out here in the middle of nowhere dirt poor."

The ADOS movement is not about chastising, it is about educating the country, all people, about why this is important.

Black folks and White folks are gonna have sit down and be real about life in the USA.Can't keep avoiding the conflict that is brewing ahead. Where wealth is just automatically taken with just a push of a button.

There are John Browns out there and we are going to have to find them and make more of them. You can't just organize Black people. That's the problem, people stay in echo chambers and never reach out.

The video didn’t work for me

But if you’re a supposed “socialist” then the idea of redistributing wealth shouldn’t be that difficult to comprehend.

Banks, farmers get tax subsidies. I don’t see why Wall Street gets bail outs, but ADOS can’t get reparations.

Trump shut down the government for billions of dollars, that’s a single egomaniac out for an unnecessary wall. White guys can demand billions of dollars as individuals, yet ADOS can’t ask for reparations as a group?
