Tariq destroying ados was lowkey some agent shyt

[K.O.N.Y]

No the fukk it doesn't!!

Who else was enslaved in America (don't do the semantic bullshyt because the whole world knows when you say AMERICA you're talking about the U.S.A.)?

The whole point is that people WILL play the semantics game if the language allows for it

It’s literally the same problem with African American. Like we’ve already been down this road before lol

No we haven't.

Name aside the Darity criteria covers any other loophole. People love making shyt more difficult than it needs to be.

This country has records of who was enslaved and can trace their descendants. The criteria is clear, name is irrelevant but ADOS or Freedmen are the most accurate for political purposes.

All of that comes into play when making a reparations claim. I get that

I’m strictly referring to “ados” as an ethnic designation. It doesn’t work

If people can BS their way in, no matter how petty or ridiculous, the term isn’t foolproof. Unless you're loyal to Y and T (for whatever reason ) the OG DOAS they took is clearer and harder to trick language on. If you insist on not rocking with FBA, go back to that. Semantics and language are critical when people are continuously trying to jerk you out of everything.

it's like this:

Reparations work has traditionally never been for the weak of heart. You really had to be committed to the shyt. But now we're in this era where everyone has a smartphone and give their opinion, make a hashtag, battle over "identifiers", etc... less than a decade ago, the weak were weeded out.

THAT is honestly more than anything why "reparations" is a topic today. We got babies to the shyt trying to impose their so called 'righteousness' that they caught on YouTube, etc and as babies, their attention span (or lackthereof) devolved into bullshyt. Acronyms, Hip Hop, movie roles, "look at this tweet/random ass video clip from someone none of ever heard of our cared about", and so on. They aren't grounded in anything but being reactionary we're moving further and further away from genuine roots in the digital age.

How can people BS their way in if
1. they can't prove they had an ancestor enslaved in the United States
2. They have not been listed as "Black, Negro, Colored, or African American" on U.S. government documents?

This country knows who is who. There will be no room for Five Dollar Freedmen.

i agree with this

I’m specifically talking about using ados as an ethnic distinction

I agree, but they're trying, which is what necessitates terms that aren't open to "interpretation".

Follow the lead of an ex pimp named King Flex brehs

Tariq was never a pimp, but Malcolm x was an ex pimp so what's your point?

 

[Robbie3000]

HR40 doesn’t break reparations down by lineage. It can never be implemented.

I’m sure lineage is the reason reparations hasn’t passed.

Did you just compare King Flex to the great Malcolm X?

They will fail. I wouldn't worry so much.
We have to get people on the same page as far as what the policy will be and work on getting H.R. 40 corrected or get a proper Reparations Bill moving in the House.

With such opposition and saboteurs, everything needs to be on point. Zero room for error.
