Nazi's giving money to this movement that, I'm gonna ruin this for you now, literally does not exist outside of the internet bubble you've insulated yourself in, inherently and immediately neutralizes it and makes you at best ignorant to the point of being laughable and at worst complicit in this shameless grifting utilizing the money of people who would have us all killed.
There's literally no indication in any tangible, fungible way that the ADOS hashtag (yes, hashtag, not a movement, a hashtag) has done anything in any meaningful regard to promoting the mainstream and political agenda of creating and granting redress to Black America. None, Presidential candidates from the Democratic side have been being asked about it for far longer than twitter has even been a thing.
QUESTION: Hello, America. Hello, presidential candidates. This is Will from Boston, Massachusetts. And I hope, you know, they put this question on. It's a question in the back of everybody's head. You know, in some people, it's further back than others, collecting cobwebs.
But is African-Americans ever going to get reparations for slavery?
I know you all are going to run around this question, dipping and dodging, so let's see how far you all can get.
Part I: CNN/YouTube Democratic presidential debate transcript - CNN.com
Warren has said she is "open to the idea of it" which has literally no tangible impact foisted on her from a meaningful angle.
Is Yvette Carnelle starting a lobbying organization? Is Tariq Nasheed creating a multi-front political machine to get this issue to the forefront of the discussion like Sanders supporters, the DSA, AFL-CIO, and other actual, active movements and political and social organizations did to push the ideal of single payer universal health coverage back into popular consciousness?
No, of course they haven't. They've done nothing but scream very loudly into a room where you, and only you, reside. You're not living in reality if you think the average African-American person even knows who these shameless grifters even
are. Let alone that they've had any tangible political action or actionable agenda plans to create a reparations platform for either political party.
FFS two teenagers from bumfukk nowhere got Mike Gravel, an 88 year old retired Senator from ALASKA to run in this election on the basis of anti-imperialism. That's a "movement" that at least has enough juice to weekend at bernies this old ass man onto a debate stage to say "US Empire is bad". Y'all can't even do that?
You talk all this game about how "black folks need to show the establishment our votes aren't guaranteed and that we have action items" all throughout this forum and yet I've never seen one coherent, actionable, ACTIVE strategy in which you propose we do that and none of these people that you follow have any tangible power outside their weird vacuums (Candice Owens just got fired for her 10000th bigoted thing she's done in the last 12 months) that are just echo chambers for yourselves to tell each other how important and meaningful what you're doing is when you're not actually
doing anything.
Yvette and Tariq have MEDIA companies, they're using you to make money. It's amazing how you insist that this has had a meaningful impact when even a cursory glance will tell you it's meant fukk all.
In fact, your non-existent movement is so utterly fukkless, powerless, and meaningless to ACTUALLY getting the issue of Reparations as a talking point that it doesn't even register in the top-15 issues among BLACK VOTERS
Stop pretending that you're doing something profound and meaningful when you can't even get a room of 100 people to give you 3 people that think it's the primary focal issue. If you actually gave a shyt, you'd spend a hell of a lot more time actually trying to create or help jumpstart an actual movement to grant our people reparations instead of bytching about it online and calling people who call you on your bullshyt c00ns and sheep. You aren't "playing the game" like a savvy political operator you're literally being had by an MTV shock jock and some random woman who I've literally never heard of in my entire life outside of this website.
