Hence the question mark. I'm not memorizing nikkas family trees out here.

Yvette isn't "creating" a divide. The divide is already there, educationally, culturally, economically. All she's doing is 'giving us eyes to see'.

I have a hard enough time being referred to as a descendant of "slaves", I'm definitely not a "nikka" A financial divide isn't the same as an incendiary one. I'll give her credit for acknowledging that they hsve an advantage of taking their money home and building something for international trade.

But that's exactly the problem with European immigrants, we built their ability to do so and yet the attention is brought to Caribbeans. Do you invite the chart I'm talking about? There were at least 6 other groups listed. But who caught the heat? Who skated by when they were the ingress that enslaved us and enforce immigration, business, and trade policy? Who's at the top of the totem pole again?

The attention was drawn to them bc they're messing up our ability to see clearly. They mess up the stats. Once you take out foreign blacks, you're able to see how bad the numbers truly are. It was a necessary step for cementing #ADOS identity, that and identifying what Tone calls "the decadent veil", famous ADOS who skew perceptions.

Again

It has to do with people seeing what yvett wanna see and creating a divide where there isn't one. Same with Tone/Yvette taking a chart that DISTINGUISHED us as descendants of slaves and among other groups, including European immigrants who were at the top of the totem pole, but making it about Caribbeans.


"Y'all (?)" Tho???


I'm ADOS

We were already given distinction in the chart and they STILL lumped us together and generated anger. Lemme just go find it. Edit pending:

EDIT @HarlemHottie

We're supposed to ignore that (in Miami):
Puerto Ricans have $200
South Americans have $2200
Cubans have $3200
Other hispanics have $5000
Europeans have $10750

Because Caribbeans have $2000
Which we likely wouldn't know if we weren't given distinction


I'd have a much easier time understanding why ALL the other groups are listed ahead of us but there's NO reason to set the crosshairs on Caribbeans and Caribbeans alone unless you're trying to foment an ADOS/Non ADOS division

 

[Mirin4rmfar]

I am Caribbeans and I fully support reparations for African-Americans.If it opens up doors for other descendants of slaves of Latin america and caribbeans to get reparations, that would be great. We deserve it. Motherfukkers enslaved our ancestors for free labors for 300-400 plus years. We are owed!!

We've been saying this. Its hilarious too as Igbos are some of the highest net worth individuals out here. Plus we're over represented in law, medicine, and finance. Dumb nikkas will shyt on africans cause their c00n daddy tariq told them too, but the reality is Igbos would be an excellent ally for the ADOS movement.

ADOS needs to get rid of their anti-african sentiment before more africans start cosigning.

Tariq's crew is Nigerian Ola(Yoruba) + Carl the promoter (Igbo)

The usual suspects will avoid this thread of course. The funny thing is that they do the exact thing they hate white people for doing to them. They will take their one or two interactions with an African person (Africa is made up of 54 countries by the way), and use it to paint the whole continent with the same brush. Most times I see people posting 2nd hand accounts; "so and so said that them Africans be looking down on AfrAms etc". It's ridiculous.

That's the same sort of stereotyping that causes white women to clutch their purse when they see a black person (btw this also affects Africans ) or an AfrAm being denied a job because they have a "ghetto" name. Look, as much as your inherent bigotry will not allow you to see it, we might have different origins, but we are still black people, and most of the policies that affect AfrAms will also affect other black groups. Stop doing the work of these right-wing groups for them. By the time they stop focusing on us, they'll start focusing on y'all again.

Oh, and this guy is clearly a troll.

we can keep our foot on the necks of cacs and their black immigrant collaborators.

She's clarifying our understanding. We used to think there was a generalized anti-black racism. What these charts (still waiting for your edit, but I assume you're referring to the 'Color of Wealth by city' data) show us is that, while that may be true in the sense of catching cabs or whatever, our most pressing issue is the specific anti-ADOS racism that shows up in the wealth data.

While we may all be struggling vis a vis white supremacy, some of 'us' struggle more than others. We need to know that, and our government needs to know that we expect them to address it. We can't address it if we've been shamed out of mentioning it. Are we supposed to just suffer in silence, existing only as a mascot for the 'black and brown' banner?

Tariq is just preying on the stupidity of these folks in order to sell t-shirts and DVDs. He doesn't believe half of what he is saying. Shows how much he respects his supporters.

Im guessing, shes speaking, to the "we all black," crowd

Exactly. This is how ADOS get on code. No disrespect to non ADOS. This is data we need to help understand our position and to state our case to each other.

This is like when somebody says Jews run certain industries and, instead of actually addressing what they said, the response is 'That's anti- Semitic! ' It is what it is, don't be mad at me for saying it.

Riiiight... Gotta remind people that even though the chart notes there's a difference, we're not the same. Which is why we need a distinction, like the chart gave, so we can stop lumping our situation together with theirs, which again: the chart did, but how are we supposed to build the argument that non ADOS are different if we don't frame it like we're reported the same first?

My biggest issue with the ADoS movement is their leader and their actions on what really drives them which is hate and stupidity on a number of subjects.
