ADOS is a movement that most people IRL don't subscribe to :yeshrug:
African Americans are diverse and there are many subgroups :yeshrug:

Gullahs are ADOS tho
that's what I'm saying too
I had one of those DNA tests done and it told me what part of north america my people came from and linked me specifically to an article about the Gullah Geechee.

later on, way down the line, without any prompting or me asking my great aunt in SC told me that our family was gullah geechee.
anybody insisting through any sort of mental gymnastics the Gullah Geechee are not ADOS is Dhalsim level reaching

You can take that African Ancestry DNA test as well. If you are an African American and you come back Mende, Temne or Limba then that is a pretty good indicator that your folks are from Sierra Leone and they were brought to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Northern Florida to grow rice which is Gullah Geechee.

My family is from Tennessee. When my grandmother and her sister were alive they always told us that their family moved to Tennessee from the coastal area in North Carolina. Me and my mother took DNA tests and we came back to the Mende from Sierra Leone maternally and my mother's genetic community included coastal African Americans in North Carolina and South Carolina who are obviously Gullah Geechee.

The Gullah Geechee are AAs

Because their enslavement was on isolated coastal plantations, sea and barrier islands, they were able to retain many of their indigenous African traditions. These traditions are reflected in their foodways, arts and crafts, and spiritual traditions
