Essential The Official ADOS Discussion Thread

[Nature's Fury]

There have been a few of them stating this…

Don’t have much more info that could narrow it down but if you don’t mind, could you post a few?

You are right. I have to look them up myself. I did hear of this several times, but never paid attention to it like that, where I wrote it down somewhere. I should have made a list.

I am somewhat busy now with renovating my house. When time suits, I will look it up for you.

I'm working on a paper(15+ pages) on Reparations for my capstone class to graduate with my bachelor's.

I was wondering if you all could link me to articles, both academic and editorial, that advocate for reparations for Black Americans.

I've just started William A. Darity's book From Here to Equality -Reparations for African Americans and brehs, it is a dense, dense read.

I would like to finish it and use it as a primary source but I'm looking for other sources I can draw from.

I also picked The 1619 Project and I haven't even cracked that one yet, it's over 600 pages.


I suppose I could go to the chapters most relevant to my research paper(a paper I haven't even determined the outline of yet) I could use some help from you all with how I should set that up too.


Long story short, brehs please help me find some good articles for reparations for an academic paper.


I'm starting early but I'll be taking 2 other classes and working full-time, so I need all the help I can get.


Thanks in advance

I don't have any book recommendations but have you read the H.R.40 bill?

Perhaps that can help.

What is HR 40?

This bill establishes the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans. The commission shall examine slavery and discrimination in the colonies and the United States from 1619 to the present and recommend appropriate remedies.

Frfr I kinda don't wanna use Coates to be honest.

He seems like the designated negro whisperer.

A buddy of mine who's a musician in Germany told me when dude came to speak out there they had posters out there calling him "The Voice of Black America" and he was like "who the fukk decided that??"

I don't think much of him as a writer either tbh. I recall having read the reparations piece before but there's tons and tons of other sources out there I found through my school's library site.

No, but again people assume that she is some undercover white supremacist because she was involved with Pfir. No one that I have seen speaking about this has shown any evidence of a connection between her and the people running pfir. She has wanted comprehensive immigration reform for a while because of it's negative impact on low wage workers which is a significant portion of ADOS's current working class.

This one is very, very important. (I’m surprised this has not been mentioned before).
