With #ADOS chapters popping up all over the nation, I don't see why this was necessary. It could very well just be a coincidence. But with the history of passivity from the black churches (especially after 1970), this doesn't seem like a step forward.

ppl saying this a bad things are idiots, and i'm not even a Christian. Like it or not black boomers with money and influence are attached to the church we need their support to get serious momentum.

And I'd wager most of these folks are supporting Biden, who has offered nothing to address income inequality much less Reparations for ADOS.

Getting access to that audience and getting them to realize we must demand more from these Democratic candidates before we endorse them can make a huge impact.

I go to a Baptist church in the South

I wish one of yall would come up in there Sunday morning talking about

"We're just gonna let Trump win next time. Please don't vote until we all get a check"

Which the CANDIDATE can't even do. The CANDIDATE will have to be elected before they begin to think about paying us...

You might legit get slapped by an old lady in a big ass hat.
Exactly , the people who think this is good and will help must of never been raised in the church

We're going to have to engage with these folks eventually.

The ADOS DMV folks I've met say in just about every political event they've attended the gatekeepers were deep and all cliqued up (NAACP, NCBRA), and those folks have ear of the CBC. I know they got the churches on lock. We can change that.

No, you're just a lying dumb fuk, but we all know that's about. Anyway, those same baby boomers with money and perceived influence are the same segment that stayed in alliance with do-nothing policies, for donations. Byron Allen has mentioned himself that players like Al Sharpton, Obama were never put to task in following through with social causes and restorative justice policy; there's no point of having money and influence, if the implementation is not there. Like a poster mentioned, historically, the church tries to play the middle and that's what we don't need bc it sends a message that our so-called representatives can be bought and sold.

No one is saying this is a "bad thing", what people are doing is expressing concern about how this will impact the original mission and intent of a grassroots movement and campaign in terms of mainstream influence bc what is not needed is for this to cycle out or become watered down bc people are stagnated bc of said influence. If you had any analytical skills, you would know the difference.

They should be cautious about being co-opted again and having somebody else attempt to steer the message.

Look at this stupid rationalization right here.. :dead::deadmanny:
We speak about concerns and he thinks that's being oppositional to the point where we it's a show of support for a political candidate

You didn't have to reply to my quote in the first place
:francis:I quoted you as an example, not because I think your comments are all that thoughtful or provoking
Feel free to hit that ignore, no one is making you engage.
