Black immigrants benefit more from that networking system than most black Americans

Thats the point

sounds like some cornball attempt to say she didn't have a "black american" experience during her time at the hbcu and as part of a black sorority... back in the 80s... when hbcus and black sororities were overwhelmingly made up of black americans.
:stopitslime:

some real dumb shyt trying to pull this "she's not black enough" bullshyt.

again, i have problems with her past policies, but i can focus on that instead of calling her blackness into question. it's a no win situation and completely idiotic trying to prove whether someone is black enough.

That’s the issue with the ADOS movement you guys need to focus more on getting reparations and stop attacking black immigrants. Whether Kamala is ADOS or not is a waste of time. Focus on getting reparations for crying out loud:snoop::snoop::snoop::snoop:
That's the problem. Kamala IS our reparations. They gave us a car with no engine.

Above the fray.
I peeped the twitters of Pinky and the Brain (Tone and Yvette) and they are big mad. They are not even trying to hide their anti black immigrant hatred behind the guise of reparations.

It's full on hate.

They don't want us running for office, going to universities, acting in movies or television etc. I honestly believe, If they had their way, black immigrants and their descendants would be treated like Jews in Nazi germany. No cap.

Nah, it's called striking while the iron is hot. Kamala was the cash cow/scapegoat that they used to galvanize support.
With that scapegoat gone when Harris dropped out of the race, they lost some of their momentum . Without that enemy to point out and create content about, the dueling hashtags had little to talk about so they turned on each other.
Harris getting on the ticket is a windfall for them, they are all happy.

Na
I didn't say anything inherently anti immigrant at all. I said ADOS is a distinct ethnic group just like the distinct African and Caribbean ethnic groups that exist. If you take that as anti-immigrant I don't know what to tell you :manny:
They froth at the mouth whenever u say this

Its so weird

This topic reveals the difference between people who understand what power means and those who don't.

I paraphrased the Nas line recently in a thread about Booker T. Washington, and it applies here

Queens dudes AAs run you dudes Obama/Harris, ask Russell Simmons Valerie/Desiree.

The king makers or queen makers in both cases were individuals and groups that are solidly African American. They vetted , cosigned, and will have a hand in steering these nonAA candidates. The candidate winning the election promotes THEIR directives and agendas and validates and increases their power moving forward. Kings come and go, king makers remain.

Also, the people in those organizations know and respect their ethnic and family cultures from the time they are children. They weren't grown men suddenly discovering ethnic pride on the cue of a Youtuber. Pride and knowledge of who they are and the history of their people here is something they learned from their families. As you pointed about before, some of them can trace the name, date of arrival and ethnicity of their first African ancestors who set foot in the 13 colonies. Ethnic and family pride is what gives them the foundation to go out in the world and continue the legacy of achievement. Ethnic pride should be a reserve of strength to propel people forward.
Grown men who are new to the concept of ethnic pride seem to only mention it when discussing Africans/Islanders. Never as a source of strength to push themselves forward and achieve.


The Valerie Jarrets and Desiree Rogers of the world are aware of who is who, and what Obama and Harris' origins are. Members of these groups have married and absorbed Africans and Caribbeans, as have many Black organizations and families. I mean, the composer of the Negro National Anthem, James Weldon Johnson, was half Caribbean.
These Black organizations and power brokers are trying to improve conditions for Black people. They are the ones who wield the power. The ethnic heritage of the VP candidate that they support factors very little in their drive to get access to the govt. resources to help the community. The big picture.
Very well said. A lot of people that feed into these ethnic wars are missing just that, the bigger picture. You can tell those who know what real power is apart from those that don’t.

How would that happen if a group says their fine and you just lazy? When you bring up reparations they say "well, if you had a daddy and a go education you'll be alright".

It's not happening with Kamala, people will say how Kamala "rose up" outta the struggle then you can to. Not happening.

The problem is people can assume black and not based off struggle so the dudes at the bottom got it the worst.

It's like having a serious medical condition your whole life and some dude says he suffers from headaches and our pain is equal.
