Damn they making Tone and Yvette out to be the fukked up ones
They petty
Damn they making Tone and Yvette out to be the fukked up ones
I didn't see it like this, though.Before Ados/fba were even a thing people used to shyt on Tariq & Yvette, just check the history. Of course this is enjoyable.
It seems like you Non-ADOS/FBA people are enjoying this a little too much.
Keep going, though...
Listen, I've followed and supported Yvette when she was with Boyce on YouTube nearly a decade ago. I don't think there's anyone on this forum that defends her more than I do.
When these other brehs disparage TLR, "militants" and online Youtubers, I argue for their/OUR perspective as legitimate.
Moreover, I make the case that this is just a reflection of what's happening in the broader black community. I know much of the stuff Tone and Yvette says is a just simplified version of what's been happening in black academia for years. Everything from the data and yes even the immigrant stuff; which comes out of the Lani Guinier, Skip Gates discussion, that Darity and others have kept alive for the last decade. It's one of the reasons I'm not surprised Cornel is sympathetic to ados.
I need everyone on this forum that cares about black people to come to terms with what LEGITIMACY means to us as people as we navigate financially and politically as a group, or as individuals. I embrace alternative voices in our community because I know the constraints that exist for black people who are involved in mainline politics. That class has failed us no doubt, however, to cash out we have to go to that same government window. Tone and Yvette were smart enough to know they had to go off YouTube to do it.
It requires a level of political and social legitimacy that someone like Tariq doesn't have and most importantly doesn't want to claim.
Tariq often says smart and reasonable things that many people agree with but most folks with something to lose don't want to touch him with a ten-foot pole for numerous reasons that Tone and Yvette were already privy to. Associating with Tariq is a quick way to ruin you credibility and legitimacy when trying to engage in mainline politics.
Tariq can lie all he wants about shaming the democrats with that tweet, but this wasn't that. This was brazen, seeming endorsement of Trump. Ebro immediately took that tweet and used it against Antonio.
Tariq was almost correct in nearly everything he said tonight except for the major omission that his TRUMP tweet was anything but a fukking bomb he dropped. Not only was #ados on the front page of the New York Times, but the reporter shut Talib's right-wing conspiracy down on Twitter by saying she found no evidence of right-wing support. I don't know why Tariq did it what he did, but it doesn't matter.
Tone and Yvette can't let Tariq amplify their message for a year and then try to disentangle from him like this. This is the exact reason "reputable" people stay way the fukk away from people like Tariq. You can't kick Tariq out the house in a day after he's spent a year moving his shyt in your home.
Tariq basically told everyone tonight that he was a hustler and that Tone was game goofy and he was right. This wasn't the way to break away from Tariq. Tariq was already pivoting away and this was the opportunity for Yvette and Tone to let him and close ranks or go more mainstream since they been in the NYT and they've been making connections with the CBC.
Starting an internet beef with Tariq Nasheed is the last thing that they've should of done. It's a lose-lose for any direction they choose to go in.
Let "Foundational Black Americans" have that...That Tariq's low-key endorsing of Trump tweet got 72,000 retweets with a lot coming from alt-righters, folks he regularly calls suspected white supremacists.
I can see why Tone released that video distancing himself and "ADOS" from it.
What you stated makes way too much sense for it to be bullshyt. You know white people, they know and monitor Black people like a hawk. Ain't it funny at the same time, they introduce Bob and Abisola. Since when did white people starting giving a fukk about Africans in America. White folks be planning and these nikkas be falling in traps like a mouse. I bet a white man is milly rocking everything he sees an ADOS thread or a nikka rocking ADOS gear like it's original.You seem like you have good intentions,all I'm going to tell you is watch very closely. As someone who studies history I sure know what this looks like. You must realize the frequency is changing,black people are less interested than ever before in engaging politically. You had 2019 which was the Year Of The Return to Ghana,more AA's going back to Africa than ever. You have groups like Natureboy and Carbonation who tell black people to leave America,get back to nature,and stop trying to become like the white man. Coincidently as these movements are occuring,you have a group like ADOS pop up that is very divisive and wanting to keep our feet planted here and "fight"? I don't believe in coincidences breh. Just remember the Black Boule was created to keep black proffesionals from joining Marcus Garvey and going over to pan africanism. I beleieve ADOS was created because of the shift,as a means to keep the educated black proffessionals right here in America in quicksand,as cogs in white supremacy. Only thig I can't figure out is if these people are puppets of the boule on purpose or accident,the boule disguising themselves as they did originally. Or just AA's with a platform being used by the European.They say she wasn't getting paid,but Yvettes connections are still troubling. Anybody here can check history for themselves and tell me if the timing isn't very odd. My only job will be to keep the frequency alive that is telling black people to get the fukk out of America,I don't care if you go to Africa or somewhere else.But the ados mentality is needs to be updated,its out of date,don't be a relic. America is dead,AA's engaging in politics is dead,further assimilation?not interested.
Pan Africanism was created by a Pan African. You see, when your family, you only care about what's best for the global community. That means Africans and all Africans in the diaspora. Greatness can be achieved by all. If a Pan African brother is killing it and he's from Philly, he is getting the same love by those in Accra as in Kingston. Love is a global language. Justice is needed and expected. Honor is whom you are expected to be.
Of course they don't care, we've brought this up in almost every (Anti) ADOS/FBA thread and they act like they have a problem comprehending shyt.I'm not sure if they even care

When has Tariq ever endorsed Trump? Just because we don’t automatically bow to the feet of whomever the Democrats nominate doesn’t mean we are Trump supporters. Tariq has alwats said that he will support anyone who offers actual tangibles to black Americans.That Tariq's low-key endorsing of Trump tweet got 72,000 retweets with a lot coming from alt-righters, folks he regularly calls suspected white supremacists.

Exactly, this is how you can spot the people who listen to his show and the ones who don'tWhen has

Coming at Tariq, who has done so much for the black community ain't a good look. You going to war with the black community if you going at Tariq.
I am definitely looking at Tone with a side eye. You would NEVER see PBT or Jason Black target Tariq like this.Exactly, this is how you can spot the people who listen to his show and the ones who don't
The timing of this is fishy and after watching tone's video and reading some of his tweets I believe he talked to big democrats and they told him to do something to separate from tariq even though they don't know each other like that or have each others number
