the Big Bang that sparked so called diasporan beefs .Was the idea of ados looking out for themselves and only themselves. Which was an indictment from cultural clout chasers across the 'black people" spectrum

lets not shine light on how polarizing ADos people are to that term and what that means in the last 200 years shall we:mjgrin:

the nucleus of the anti-ados movement in mind and thought and why they refute it at all cost

but i digress:mjgrin:
In vain. Ain't going back, no more matter how much ppl hope, n complain. they will deal. :mjgrin:

and that's the point...

it's called click-bait titling

they should be mad at their own non reading asses and lack of comprehension

:laff:



post was clear i'd advise you to step your comprehension up... if you are mad about what he said then you definitely need to get some understanding
it was not and most in good faith would agree

We both come from a space where the mainstream thought across the diaspora-

was that ADOS in concept, in itself, was divisive

which is why the notion had to be anchored to being a "group" or to youtube activist

Above the fray.
It's always a way to respectfully speak on a topic or for a group of people you may not belong too -- but choose to continue to protray and act like.

He could have said - as a insert ethnicity-brit - I don't have the same experiences and history with race and racism as the average African American. Then list some ways how and why.

Therefore, I don't feel comfortable speaking on race or being defined as my race. I am BLANK - and I can only say that the issues AA's and other Black people America with generational history are very real and deserved to be aired, heard and respected.

I wouldn't go to any country with a black ethnic group that is not mine that has been dealing with a set of issues or a specific history tied to RACE and be like ... fukk all that ... I'm not defined by race .. I'm Me.

Then list all the movies that are majority white in America that I know I could never get or got token roles and be like... See they are not about Race!


But, knowing and everyone else know you came to that country to play the roles for the ones tied to race/ethnicity of those people. Because you couldn't get any large ones in your country cause they aint got none.

He looks dumb and disrespectful.

Would your opinion change if the full interview reveals that his comment doesn't say or imply what you believe it does?
I imagine that because of his visibility, that he is being put in a seat that he is not equipped for. In this case, it might mean addressing every race topic in UK society and entertainment industry.
Malcolm X alluded to American entertainers given that role by the media in the 1960s in the clip I posted earlier.
I think it's important for people in the public eye to use that platform responsibly. The entertainers that Malcolm criticized were right to use their star power to bring light to important issues, but when the media predictably starts treating them as "spokespersons" for their group it can become a problem.
(dikk Gregory was unfairly lumped in with the rest, but he was the exception , he put his career on the backburner and was out there, organizing, and on the FRONT LINES)
But even then, the late Mr. Gregory didn't accept or invite being a "spokesperson" for AAs .He was out there fighting for change, and putting his money up to promote that change.

I think Michael Jordan fought for change in private ways, away from cameras.I imagine that he used his vast resources in ways that we will find out about after he passes. He mostly shied away from publicly addressing certain issues and was criticized for it...but that was his way.


I think Daniel K. has used his "celebrity" and resources to affect change in the UK Black community in ways that might go beyond what public statements would have accomplished.


At any rate, let's let the man speak for himself.

When the print or video interview gets posted, I'm gonna try to put it in a separate thread so people can see it and weigh in.

nope we didn't do any such thing

I have vehemently spoken out about Yvette and Tone and their xenophobia. From day one and we saw how they imploded their credibility. I called that shyt years ago. The idea that it was somehow in your best interest to look at foreign Black people as a threat off top and presume they are hostile.

if this is your mode of life you will get left behind. after all that bullshyt back n forth on here and twitter etc. YET The year of return was a success. Africa is lit and Black people are blazing new paths together :handshake:. Meanwhile Yvette and Tone crash landed from the weight of all that hatred. :slapfight:

what have we learned?

nothing is founded on hatred that stands for a long time. Go back years ago to diaspora war threads I was calling out Tariq, Tone and Yvette NOT ADOS. It was fateful that they ended up clashing and Tariq did what he does and carved himself out a piece off their plate at the cost of fragmenting a reparations movements strength in numbers. If you don't cut the grass you will get bit by the snakes.

spread love not hate:therethere:

I'm fighting Black division and you are fighting me for it :laff:
you only fight "black division" when you think "ADOS" are the ones being divisive. this is why you always on here looking silly. We are not the ones that need to be lectured PUBLICLY about division. Every other black group's divisiveness gets labeled "unity amongst their people". I can't believe we've been talking about this for several years on the coli and yall still play stupid about it.

I'll say it again...you only fight "black division" when you think "ADOS" are the ones being divisive.


This man is literally super-charging his career off of "race" movies then telling people he doesn't want to talk about race. This is a very basic point that you have not actually addressed in this thread. You've just gone around telling people they're fake-outraged. It's ad hominem. Many of you do this, you see "ADOS" in a thread making points, and your counter-point is "yall just sensitive...yall militant...fake outrage" and just repeating that. You won't address the actual topic. Your last few posts have been about "click-bait titling" not the actual topic. This is you.

Yall tired of talking about race and want to be more than that/not a victim

:hula:

Y’all whine all day about black unity and ADOS destroying panafricanism


So when we wanna focus on lineage we need to all be black and panafrican. But when you take black American centered roles you get tired of talking about race.

Somebody lying...
Black folks are constant targets of white supremacy entities using systemic racism, thus no need for Blackfolks to attempt to minimize their Blackness, their race being known is par for the course. So just work harder, smartly navigate life
OR
Black folks are sometime targets, with enough pockets of opportunity to succeed, thus cosign a Blackman talmbot not being identified by his race because this socially advanced society affords him the ability to do so to secure variety of jobs and accolades
OR
Such talks are understood to be for Black entertainers only

Which one is it? I'm willing to accept either one so to establish consistency, clarity, accountability and structure to the "code" that Black folks suppose to be following


Solution: View it all as entertainment. Allow artist to say/do whatever, hold them accountable for actions outside their respective platform that blurs line between reality and entertainment

Result is no more concerns about who supporting what for whatever reasons...who being cast to depict...equal outrage for all stereotypes/degeneracy outside of entertainment...easy to identify hypocrites that support behavior from their fav artist they otherwise claim to be against
