Because they were wrong and they always were wrong yet they spent a lot of their time sneak dissing and acting like babies and soon as they were proven how wrong they were, they jumped ship and started talking about Black immigration and reparations and etc.

They are a business and disingenuous. They are opportunists. They aren't in it to do politics and now they are trying to capitalize and it is important to point them out.

It's already a shame that Tariq went ahead and said that Black immigrants are the cause of HIV rates. Just imagine if Tariq Nasheed manages to weasel his way into the ADOS movement nationally and they pull up that stupid ass comment and ask him about it. He already considered a misogynist. Now he's an xenophobic misogynist. His presence isn't good for the ADOS movement.

Nobody in the ADOS movement is trying to accuse Black immigrants of spreading diseases. The mainstream media already said the movement is created by Russians. Then they are gonna say the movement is right-wing Black nationalism and xenophobic and equate it with the Tea Party or Trump supporters. Thank god that Yvette is a woman. Thank god that @Stacker Pentecost is a woman. Thank god that Breaking Brown is probably 60/40 between men and women.

People gotta understand the precariousness of the political situation. There are Hoteps on the other side. There are policy shapers on the other and then there is Blexit. All it takes is one claim and the ADOS movement will be painted as a Hotep and Blexit movement at worst or it'll be some general American left-wing movement for all descent of slavery. At best, it'll be Black American nationalism with a goal towards policy for Black Americans and it is able to catch the ear of politicians and ADOS will have a seat at the table.

A lot of Black Twitter is foreign Blacks and that is where the liberals get a lot of their stuff from.

What happens if Candance Owens weasel her way into this? Like it or not, Conservatives always stress the Americanness of Native Black Americans, they always been able to differentiate.

Distinctions will continually be made just like in any movement. The traditional Black Youtubers that tried to combine consciousness with salaciousness and commerce need to stay away. That space is full of beefs, half cocked political ideas and gossip. ADOS movement was created without them and in spite of them. They didn't help with anything. They hinder it.

Just like the French protected their revolution. Just like the Russians protected theirs. American DOS gotta protect theirs by all cost. Once the ball gets rolling, purges got to happen and people are gonna have to fall in line.

Some people gotta put their faves on the chopping block for the collective. Cause I dread the day that a supporter other than Darrity, Yvette or Tone talk about this on the national stage and they ask some hard questions and ADOS movement will look amateur because they'll be it for the movement.

Exclusion is just as important as inclusion

You’re right, and you’re right that there were some of us that didn’t like the term African American to begin with; my dad being one of them. There were a few things he always stressed to my siblings and I, 1.) don’t believe Abraham Lincoln freed us out of the kindness of his heart, 2.) he wasn’t a fan of integration, and 3.) while he loved and respected Africa, he told us his people were from here. I remember him talking all this like it was yesterday.

I guess this Ados thing was destined for me, lol. We’re all leaders in this shyt, I guess. If one of us falls off, the rest can keep it going.

Ditto.

Fall for the okey doke brehs:mjlol:

The hell does "some type" mean? If you gotta phrase it that way you clearly aren't advocating for a policy that will impact us because you're scared of the blowback from white America.

Breh you do realize that America is still a predominately white country, with 2 other chambers of the government, one of which is controlled by Republicans. I think this is something ACL understands that ADOS doesn't, you have to have some subtlety with how you operate if you want to get things accomplished in America.

You can kill a person, but never an Ideology. Once ADOS really hits the mainstream, the way our community will do politics, will never be the same.

We do.

We also understand both are controlled and ran by Whites. Racist Whites - with a few token Black people who support White Supremacy.

And you can spot it a mile away.

Ego, greed, and selfishness has killed many a movement both here and in Africa, and we have seen it displayed a lot in our “leaders.”

I hope I’m wrong about him, but I guess we’ll see.

You're not wrong, anyone that pays attention can see it. Hopefully as this movement grows, his ego doesn't.

I worry about Tone a bit.

I just pray neither gets too Hollywood, but if so, we as people need to understand that the movement is bigger than any one person.

Same here. Tone seems like the type to start acting different when a little light gets shined on him. I've seen previous videos of him in the past where he talks about working with the real Freeway Ricky Ross and other "big wigs" and he does some serious name dropping. Yvette is also starting to get a little battery in her back as I saw with last night's stream, but I think she's still rooted heavily in the cause. It's hard to say it, but black people love shine and it seems no matter what, 90% of us be like moths to a flame when the light starts to hit us.

At least with breaking brown and the ADOS movement, the whole platform is rooted in facts and tangibles and no matter how "hollywood" the leaders get, the group as a whole is well informed enough to always keep the demands in order.

With AADOS waking up their position as an elite buffer class black immigrants have attained post civil rights is in jeopardy. Whites will no longer see them as useful if they are rejected by the black community.

This will change everything -- politics, media, entertainment, publishing, etc. One we reject those who are disrespectful and not supportive and toxic to our culture/people -- they will no longer get to speak for us -- and act like they are apart of our community. They are outsiders looking in -- making guesses and writing about them - like they are insiders.

She's not being subtle she's pandering.

You do realize that she can't sneak a reparations bill by Congress?

That’s always been one of our problems. We let the money and fame get to us, and I say us, including myself in this as well.

It’s cool, though. We need to point stuff like that out, so we can learn from it. We just have to drill it, no one man or woman is bigger than the other.

And I wasn’t tryna bash Tone. I just want us all to be accountable, and realize that we have flaws. If we can recognize them early, we can get ahold on them

Nah, I definitely know you weren't bashing, because I had the EXACT same thing on my mind. I think think shine, attention, "i told you so" mentality, is our Achilles heel. I also think allowing the movement to be picked up by the mainstream too early is counterproductive. We're not totally ready for all this attention and I think the powers that be know this. The smart thing to do would be to start a platform independent of YouTube for a small fee to hold private dialogue until we're ready to go public.

This is such a critical point and it can go either left or in the right direction. It's a serious threat to the establishment and all of the other groups piggybacking off of us. We as ADOS haven't stood up like this in over 3 decades. It feels like actual civil rights for my generation and it's exciting, but scary because we see how hard THEY have worked to destroy anything that threatens the status quo. Hopefully we don't do it to ourselves.

you do also realize that this country still aint shyt with out black people, who ADOS make up the majority of, As well as white racism? They don't want the smoke when blacks bring the heat, this has been shown in history. Now blacks are awakening, and once we are all on code maybe we rather die on our feet, than beg on our knees.

This isn't just about the president. Politics affects all levels of government. What is the mayor going to do for ADOS? What about the senator, and the representatives. If you have a black constituency and you require a vote, what is your plan for black Americans.

The goal is to be able to join the broader left-wing populist movement that is going on in the USA right now against the rich and right-wing and the Caribbean reparations movement.

It would be amazing if the American DOS movement was able to spark the DOS nationalism in others in the USA and an anti-colonial movement. And everybody gets together and rep their flag.

And together with the left-wing Whites and the DOS and Latinos, we bring the USA and the West to justice.

American DOS should see the bigger picture and I believe the movement does. As long as the USA and the West keeps causing these disasters in the Latin American, Caribbean and Africa, people will always flee. American DOS movement is about self-interest but it is also about justice for everyone. It is not an American chauvinistic movement.

But that can't happen that if there are rogue parties calling Africans and West Indians disease ridden on livestream. We got people questioning the Blackness of everyone. Then there is some weird underlying anti-feminism. Nobody will want to side with the ADOS Movement and the ADOS can't go right-wing because right-wingers aren't in favor of reparations.

Which is why I am glad in Yvette's most recent stream she called out the trend hopping. Which is why I am glad Breaking Brown family doesn't have the Hotep energy. I am glad Breaking Brown is composed of serious American DOS and allies who are of all ages and educational backgrounds and they don't care about the YouTube/Twitter drama. All they care about is reparations and political rights. They watch Yvette and Tone for politics, not to be entertained.

American DOS movement can't stand isolated from what is going on in the USA. 2020 is not far and shyt needs to get put together.

Other parties will have to stand on their own. They had years to do this and they didn't. They were Pan-Africanists, Black Capitalists, Right-Wing Nationalists, anti-voting, all types of political ideologies they picked up and put down when it was suitable. It's too late. Stay over there. Stay in the background if you actually care about the American DOS movement.

Reparations have to happen for the sake of all descendants of slaves, not just American DOS. Descendants of slaves deserve to have a homeland and to have a community free of racism, sickness and poverty.

We'll see by 2020 how this all turns out.

I'm out.

white left wing politics is another side of the coin of white supremacy. We will not be allying with them.

Feminism has helped destroy the black community by removing men from the households.

I think we may be getting caught up on “leaders” too early. If ADOS is really going to be successful it needs to be bigger than a few people because at its core it’s a way of defining our ethnicity.

The civil rights movement had plenty of people who initially started a certain segment, were disagreed with or fell out of favor. That didn’t stop the fact that black people had no rights and kept fighting. Our best and brightest will be bred out of defining ourselves and knowing where we come from.

Agents should always be spotted for though.
