I do not think a lot of ADOS are comfortable, I think they are in denial of who they are. Unfortunately without a White man calling some of us the n-word or a lynching us, it is kind of hard to understand. I don't think this is a problem amongst younger ADOS because we don't have anything. But take a 35 year old ADOS with a 60K job with 300K in total debt, but drive a 2018 car and have a 200K house. Even though technically they are working poor, they don't feel it. They don't understand that they got a Masters degree to get a job their White counterpart is doing for the same amount of money without one. They don't understand they are one missed paycheck away from being like their cousin they think ain't shyt.
They tend to think they are doing okay because they don't see what White people or Asian people really have.
It is kind like how feel some ADOS feel about being called poor or do not want to see slave movies or think Jay Z and Beyonce got some real tangible influence in the world.
They do not see the box that they are in. Most White people in the USA do not know any Black people or have Black friends. Most Black people are confined to 12 places in the USA. Integration failed, this diversity project that started in the 90s failed.
You are what you are. A poor person that is a descendant of a slave. There is nothing wrong with that but see - a lot of ADOS people think being Black is wrong. That's why they want to be African. Want to be Pan-African. Want to be a Moor. Want to be a Muslim.
Anything is better than being "regular Black".
I want ADOS people to know, that be on this Pan-African tip. When Africans on the continent, talk about Pan-Africanism they are talking about the continent of Africa being united like the European Union. They are not talking about any of us slave descendants in the Diaspora being in some type of government structure with them. African scholars do not talk about Pan-Africanism as uniting all African people - they trying to fix themselves. Only time we are in an African's political consciousness is when they come over here. The Pan-African project has failed on the continent. It's a massive failure. Because you can't have Pan anything without a benevolent Nationalism, without a benevolent ethnic consciousness. If the nations and tribes in Africa do not respect each other's boundaries and interests, what are you gonna get - chaos, oppression and inequality.
Nationalism is a requirement for advancement as people. We must identify with our country and our ethnicity before anything. ADOS as a whole was never Pan-African in the sense, that we are gonna give up our status in the USA as an indigenous people to melt away into Blackness. That was never the intention. But we let insecurity and aimlessness look outside of ourselves to Africa, to find some type of authentic Blackness as if what makes a people is having a long history of kingdoms and etc. We had White envy, European envy, we objectified Africa and African people. This self-destroying chauvinistic Afrocentrism in ADOS people needs to be removed. It is a Triple Consciousness.
As if coming from oppressors such as kings and queens makes us better? As if the Kings and Queens of every culture did not oppress the common people. As if they did not exploit and kill and steal from others. Why would we want a history like that? There's nothing wrong with our slave heritage, it makes us better than everybody that comes to country. We are the freedom fighter class of people, everybody else got a history of killing, raping and stealing from everyone, we don't. Asians have that history, Europeans have that history, Africans have that history - we don't. We gotta be proud of that. I don't wanna be part of the Old World of kingdoms and subjects. That world is disgusting. I want to be part of the New World, of revolution, sharing and justice.
We have to get over Africa fetishes. Africa is our origin but it ain't our home.
