grown ass men in their 40s, 50s, 60s trying to slander and attack a woman over pushing for reparations for her ethnic group. disgusting.

These are some of the people in that mix.



Shabazz/Ghetto Intellectual comes in at 24:35 mark. Greg Carr in particular who teaches at Howard is in there. He's friends with Roland and regularly appears on the show. Not sure if he was at the meeting.

This is a good convo actually, however jaundiced, but these negros ain't got no real traction or people behind them. They are in the same boat as all of us and just as dependent on American government and politics. No one is going to ride out for these intellectual masturbators. They are so out of touch, they don't know that ados ppl are in their mix like Yvette pointed out. They think this is some online shyt when this has already permeated the conscious community.

What are they trying to do?

Do they understand that the U.S. government is ONLY going to pay descendants of enslaved in AMERICA -- mainly the Confederate States of America.

Even if we say add them -- which we aint -- the U.S. in only going to pay ADOS. We don't even have to be called ADOS -- cause America and it's gov knows we are.

What is it that they don't get?

 

[Akata Man Bromo]

Brehs we're off code we shouldn't even be arguing with non-ados because its not their business

At this point, people outing themselves as enemies should be welcomed

They get it, it's not even about the facts at this point, it's about the framing.

They need any and every black movement to be filtered through their complex, global Pan-Africanist lens.

ADOS in part rejects this methodology and tries to get at the heart of the practical realities of Black American life in the present day. Basically, it upends their life's work and puts a crimple in their niche RBG circuit money.

Dude is an pan africana professor.. so he ultimately he has no choice but to die on this hill I guess.



If they want that ideology to have any future, they really need to step back and update it for today and tomorrow. This ain't the 60s/70s

SC's Clyburn pans reparations, 'opportunity zones' as unable to address racial inequality

Clyburn said he fears reparations would lead to contested debates about who would be eligible due to the sprawling family trees that have evolved in the generations since slavery was abolished.

Even some white people who have never personally felt the effects of racial discrimination could end up making claims that they have family connections to former slaves, Clyburn said, pointing to some of his own acquaintances in Charleston who he said would fall under that category.

“Is that a fair way to do it?” Clyburn asked. “I say not.”

Instead, Clyburn said he liked a recent comment by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent who recently launched his second campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Sanders said in a CNN town hall last week that he would push to increase the usage of Clyburn’s “10-20-30” policy.

That formula, which has already been inserted in some federal policies, calls for directing 10 percent of government funds to counties where 20 percent or more of the population has lived below the poverty line for the past 30 years.

“To me, that’s a much better way to deal with what reparations is supposed to be about,” Clyburn said.

Clyburn said he has been working with U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat who is also running for president, to narrow the formula down to census tracts, rather than just counties, which he hopes would even more directly target struggling communities.

“I just think that’s a clean way to do it, it’s a simple way to do it, and I think that’s going to become an integral part of this (2020 presidential) political campaign,” Clyburn said.
