Anyone Claiming ADOS That Doesn't Have Plans for the Diaspora After Getting Rep's Ain't About Sh*t

[screenname01]

And I'm standing on it. :bpunimpressed:

nikkas hopping in on a hashtag without having a plan for truly fostering Black unity.

If you have the gall to see foreign/non-ADOS Blacks suffering under white supremacy and say "hold your own nuts", you're an absolute clown.

Change my mind. :bpunimpressed:

you mean like having your own invisible spaceship that can warp drive you to oakland so you can hop out on 'em big sixxin' like, "hey man, i know yall boyz outchea suffering and everythang, so i built yall this lil 'ol community center to help yall get through it." and then after that, youre able to just hyperspeed back to wakanda - aka an invisible paradise any time you get tired of looking at ADOS nikkas? and even though youre sitting on enough vibranium to make muthafukkin EVERYTHING alright for nikkas globally, you dont wanna get involved bcuz nikkas need to "hold their own nuts???" man, just on the gp of the irony you calling yourself black panther and saying ADOS owes anybody a grunion, let alone unity, is pretty much is a self fulfilling prophecy that ADOS is eventually gonna get every last quarter of the reparations owed to us and only us.

So, does CARICOM have a plan for us or are we the only people in the diaspora that have to help everybody?

Ain't gonna happen. Black Americans (who are descendants of Africans, before being descendants of slaves, but would rather be called the latter) are Americans first and foremost, and it seems like a siginficant portion want to distance themselves as much as possible from Africa and the rest of the diaspora

Let them build whatever they choose to build, that's their prerogative. And with the US privilege they will be in position of dominance which actually might hurt others. Might be more interesting to see Africa build with Africans in Europe who have more direct knowledge of the continent and are less in position to impose their views and/or Black in South America with which a rich decolonial history and various cultural points are shared.

Let people deal with whatever it is they have to deal with in the US first, diasporic relations might benefit in the long term if Black Americans are more at ease at home first. If not, so be it, panafricanism unfortunately is too ambitious for most people, including in Africa

#ados has been around for how long? Black unity was the same before #ados as it now, which is nothing but hotep babble, debates, lectures and tour groups to Africa. Most of the people engaging in these cultural diaspora engagements and retreats are ados or cdos btw. Most Africans have insular concerns about their own pockets, tribe, or nation. It's blacks in the diaspora that have this fanciful idea of African unity that doesn't exist.

Black Americans are realizing politically we're all we got and other groups, black or not, don't have the willingness or even capability to help us.

The premise of this thread is false. Yvette, who doesn't show much affection for the diaspora in general, has said on numerous occasions how getting reps will create a cascade effect and how we will be able to help those in the diaspora. Moreover, others with more of a connection to their Africanity have also said as much.

Most of these anti-ados comments are either ill-informed, self-serving or ideologically fear-based. No one is stopping anyone from doing any real Pan-Africanist work.

Pan Africanism has become a cottage industry. I respect the House of Consciousness types but I get cynical when I see nothing but debate and lecture circuits. They promote these debates like a boxing card.

I'm not in favor of a cash payout(which doesnt mean i wont accept it).
I'd much rather see tax exemption for blacks and black owned businesses.

So you cry about OP putting stipulations on reparations

Then turn around and put your own stipulations on

"I'd prefer" isnt the same as "if you dont X you and/or your movement aint shyt".
Like i said, I'd accept a cash payout.

What's up with this obsession with the movie "Black Panther"?

It was an alright movie, but it's what I just said it was... A MOVIE.

I know it may not seem like it, but Black Americans are the most well-positioned to take a leadership role in the diaspora

No, we're not. Umar Johnson, the most visible ados Pan-African can't even get his one school off the ground. Most black Americans don't even have a passport and are woefully ignorant about African geography let alone its geopolitics.

How are we taking the leadership role in Africa when most of us can't even take back the block?

and my problem with some of y'all African brehs is you let us engage in these fantasies about "black Americans leading the diaspora" so that y'all can lay in the cut and stack bread without having to burst our bubble about the obstacles a real pan-African unity would entail.

You’ve unearthed one of the problems right here. We’re not allowed to go for ours, because many amongst us, the diaspora, and Africa feel that we’re privileged. That is why Caribbean and African groups going after reparations get no pushback. That is why you don’t get as many “it’ll never happen’s” in regards to their claim. So many are clueless to the average AA; including AAs.

It’s also why if we fight for reparations, it is expected that we fight for every black here in the US.

Economic opportunity in the US for Blacks is sh*tty but it's much better when compared to other parts of the diaspora. Who's to say #ADOSGang wouldn't become the latest version of the bougie Blacks they claim to hate so much, if the US actually cuts those checks, expecting them to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps?

What makes you think this?

Africans should've been the leaders seeing as how we RELIGIOUSLY followed PAN-AFRICANISM in hope that when Africans/Foreign Blacks came here, they would go back to Africa and build it, so that we could go over there.

I mean, wasn't that apart of PAN-AFRICANISM?
