Yvette Carnell is calling on our white Christian brothers and sisters to ally with #ADOS

[HarlemHottie]

I don't know how this context changes anything but okay.

The context explains why she would expect these particular wp to be receptive: because they themselves voluntarily came to a reparations conference.

 

[George's Dilemma]

So you just want to be dishonest to preserve some rosy outlook on Trump. I get it.

it ain't about preserving a rosy outlook on Trump, but it is about questioning those who see doom and gloom where it doesn't exist. She made a comment that economically we're worse off under Trump. The question is, is that true? Is it?

The OP doesn't assume anything, name dropping the event wouldn't have changed people's responses

Did you watch the video? The point about Trump making us "poor-er" was just a supporting argument for why we SHOULDN'T be concerned with getting Trump impeached or voted out. That's all he did in her words, but we were already poor, which is why we gotta focus on closing the racial wealth gap Ignore Trump

And this right here is the disingenuous part. You knew the responses you would get without the necessary context. Stop.

Yes? If you want to dismiss/ignore the policies/regulations that were enacted to mitigate/fix those problems and the *fact* that the Trump administration have destroyed them, which exacerbates the problem, then I don't know what else to say.

You can't close the racial wealth gap by ignoring Trump.

 

[George's Dilemma]

So she makes the comment that Trump is making us poorer, yet also says getting him out of office whether via voting (reparations will determine such) or impeachment isnt our concern. That's contradictory.

The policies, regulations, etc., you mention, is there evidence of these actions affecting us? Cuz my life is largely the same.

Idk wtf y'all are going on about sometimes. It says "Angela Project" on the preview frame-- before you heard a word. You even see Killer Mike was there.


People gathered exactly what's been sensed for the longest: Yvette doesn't have that same energy she harbors towards black immigrants that she does towards our "white christian brothers and sisters"-- At the Angela Project, brought to you by Kevin Cosby and Simmons College. Also brought to you by KFC: it's finger lickin' good.

I wasn't really following the conversation just commenting on your specific question re: Trump. I don't care about anything Yvette has to say.

c00n shyt. My point is made, I'm done.

Lol Yvette criticize black celebs and baby boomers more than black immigrants.

Fact is alot of the criticism of black immigrants is hard truths more than hate.

They sold us

There more successful in some ways than us here is partly because they weren't slaves here.

Solidarity and connection is more than skin tone.

Also black immigrants are more docile to whites than black Americans as well.

We live in systematic white suprmacy ciroq no matter who u are u got to deal with this system.

So blacks will be more docile to whites cause they control our lives reperations will take that away tho

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Not watching but why does ADOS seem to have smoke for everyone except Trumpian cacs?

So that’s the only thing that matters right now?

I missed the last sentence.

Centering this around your personal experience isn't how you look at this.

This is from 2017: The Racial Wealth Divide in Trump's America - Institute for Policy Studies

The report looks at racial wealth data over the past 30 years to project what we can expect in the future if current trends continue. By 2020, the end of Trump’s first term, median Black and Latino households stand to lose nearly 18 percent and 12 percent of the wealth they held in 2013, respectively.

Median White household wealth, on the other hand, looks set to increase 3 percent.

At that point, White households will own 85 times more wealth than black households, and 68 times more wealth than Latino households. That’s in just three years — let that sink in for a moment.

Looking a bit further into the future, Black families are projected to own no wealth at all by 2053. By that point, our country will be majority non-White, but Whites and non-Whites will be farther apart than ever.

That’s assuming nothing changes. If Trump moves forward with the policies he campaigned on, especially his tax “reform” plan, the gap surely grows.

Trump’s tax plan is heavily skewed toward providing massive tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Half of the proposed cuts will go to millionaires, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. Less than 5 percent go to families with household incomes below $45,000.

Perhaps more insidious is Trump’s plan to eliminate the federal estate tax, also known as the inheritance tax. This levy applies exclusively to the wealthiest 0.2 percent of households and is intended to curtail the growing concentration of wealth in families like, say, the Trumps.

Fortunately, the president has other options. He could choose to expand, rather than abolish, the estate tax.

He could also address the deep disparities in homeownership — and particularly in the mortgage interest deduction in the tax code, which benefits the wealthy and those who already own a house. Thanks to generations of discrimination in housing and credit, black families trail whites in homeownership by a margin of over 30 percent.

Unfortunately, it’s unlikely Trump changes course. While the president is nothing if not mercurial, his commitment to protecting the wealth of the already wealthy has remained steadfast."

c00n shyt. My point is made, I'm done.

So you just gon ignore the context of Simmons College being located in Kentucky-- the home of KFC? maybe I should've said the Derby.

That last paragraph...

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

So that’s the only thing that matters right now?

It's not the only thing that matters, but they're a HUGE roadblock (that's seemingly ignored). Not non-ADOS black folks which seems to get the brunt of the criticism/hate from these folks.

What I don't get is how Yvette's recent history is ignored in these threads.

I always assumed she was agnostic or atheist.
