What do you guys think of this Gullah-Geechee's take on ADOS?

[yates]

I don't agree with calling ADOS dumb as i support reparations for all slave descendants including ADOS, but everything else he said interested me because as a UK breh, i've always wondered how connected the gullah are to mainstream black america.

Having bajan ancestry, I know that a lot of slaves from Barbados were taken to south carolina so that sparked my interest in them.

Not a lot about their contemporary situation online. So how is the mainstream black american relationship with them today ? Do they remain isolated or are they assimilating more now ? Any geechee's on here that feel the same ?

That is one person. His entire premise is false though. You know why? Cause he identifies himself as Gullah Geechee not African. He knows he is of a different culture! That’s what FBA/ADOS is!

Dude is right. Africans had become "black Americans" by the time America was being built.

If you think about it, besides skin color Africans and Black Americans really have nothing common cuz the cultural connection does not exist anymore

I’m a descendant of Gullah Geechees with roots in Barbados both directly and indirectly. And his argument makes zero sense.

He said what he said. If that's what his family did -- and were allowed too. That's beautiful.

I don't agree. But, he is free to have his opinion. We know our family and culture -- that is why we are doing what we are doing.

NO matter, if he agrees or not our advocacy will help him and the entire Gullah Geechee community/descendants.

As they are being pushed out and bought out. Reparations will help them keep their land and get what's due.

The hypocrisy coming from all the foreign and domestic c00ns in regards to FBAs/ADOS developing and solidifying our own identity has been one of the saddest sights this election cycle.
