Essential The Official ADOS Discussion Thread

[Armchair Militant]

Y’all gotta take the time to watch this.



- She recognized that her initial estimate was too low

- She’s open to learning about the data from Darity, Tone and Yvette.

- She said she’ll bring Tone, Yvette and black leaders to make the reparations plan at Camp David if she won.

- She recognizes the distinction between ADOS and other black groups.

She also made an important point. You probably only get one shot at this, so it better be done right.

Wonder if she’s gonna get the Oprah endorsement.

Can we get her to push economic and housing / school reform as well targeting ADOS?

For example, a lot of our public schools are poor because of Property Tax. Charter schools don't follow state standards so you don't know if your kid is ever college ready until it's too late (also not all black kids get into those charter schools because they often handpick students with high test scores, and if you're socioeconomically disadvantage you won't have the resources, time and environment needed for children to study, thus they won't be able to get in in the 1st place.)

I think she mentioned in her Harvard Divinity talk that the US is the only western country that does linking property tax to funding public schools. I've been trying to look at other countries and it seems that Japan uses a mix of of government sources to fund all their public schools

Reparations are #1, but we need MORE than that. We need specific bills targeting ADOS.

Just having a "lump sum" is not enough because it won't change our socioeconomic standing in the long run if people still don't have stable incomes, good education and housing. [Also, I'm starting to hear white supremacists / non-black racists think only a "lump sum" of reparations is perfect because they expect us to spend all that money back into the system through white own businesses/ gas stations/ and dollar stores, right back into their hands].

EDIT:
Also can we get her to come to the Conference happening in Kentucky this fall? It will really help put her on the map.

 

[I Really Mean It]

The reason they're beginning to take AADOS seriously is because the movement is gaining followers. I'm looking at the number of subscribers to prominent AADOS personalities, and I'm seeing that tens of thousands of people are subscribing to their channels, watching their videos, and most likely spreading their message.

Yvette has 58k subscribers

Jason Black has 64K

Professor Black Truth has 44K

Tariq Nasheed 82K

I've only recently began following Yvette, but I've been a listener to Black, PBT and Tariq for a few years. Their subscriber base has exploded of late, so it's obvious that the AADOS message is attracting listeners who its core tenets are appealing to.

When did jason get specifically ados oriented? Haven’t kept up with him in a while.

Agreed. Education and housing are two major categories that need to be addressed. I’m not really in favor of lump sums or checks. Maybe someone in here can change my mind on that.

They invited her to that conference during the podcast btw.

He's not as explicitly AADOS as Tariq, Yvette and PBT. But he's definitely pushing a similar message, stressing the need for AADOS to stop acting as if all skinfolk are kinfolk.

Nah, give me the lump sum owed to me for the generational wealth I've been denied since the enslavement of my ancestors, their "emancipation" into the quasi-freedom of reconstruction, and the effects of Jim Crow before the passage of the Civil Rights Act. I'll decide what to do about my education and housing after that check is cut. Thank You very much.
