Just checking in off the strength of this most recent page :francis:


  • Is there an official #ADOS political action committee or group yet?
  • Whats the data on membership numbers?
  • Any increases this month vs last month?
  • Any townhalls or community meetings happening?
  • How are things looking for candidates to run in the House or Senate?
  • Are y'all off of HR 40 too?


These are valid and honest questions.

No they are not valid and honest questions. These are concerned trolling questions.

This isn't a party. This isn't a "membership" organization. It's a grassroots ethnic consciousness political movement with the goal of reparations. The fact that we got Black Americans thinking of themselves as descendants of slaves and embracing slavery and Americanness and demanding justice for slavery. When in 2008, we were talking about post-Blackness and we have transcended racism due to Obama is a win.

And we actually do have a conference that is sold out.

ADOS movement is similar to the Tea Party movement that ushered in Fascism into the USA.

ADOS movement isn't gonna be here to stay because it's not based on a political ideology or an economic philosophy. It's based on goal of reparations to save ADOS from destruction. The goal of the Tea Party Movement was to bring conservatism back into the USA and get rid of Obama.

The Tea Party succeeded and they aren't around anymore.

The Occupy WallStreet Movement was about highlighting wealth inequality. Now we got socialists running for president. The Occupy Wallstreet Movement ain't around anymore.

The fact that we got Black Americans understanding they come from slaves and not Africa and that they ancestors ain't some West African King but a slave that was kidnapped by another tribe and that's why they struggling - is a win. If I had a child right now, I would tell my kid he or she comes from slaves and I would tell him about all slave revolts. I wouldn't start with Mansa Musa or Egypt. That's a win.

The fact that own mother used to talk down about reparations and now since she is hearing about it on TV and is like, "You know, my son talked about reparations and now it's on TV and it seems like it's the right thing to do." That's a win.

My family situation is better due to the ADOS moement. My sister is getting a political education off it. So that when she is 28 and because she heard me talk about being ADOS and capitalism and etc - she ain't dumbfounded and blindsided.

Black folks weren't even talking about reparations or slavery or the affects of immigration or wealth inequality 8 years ago.

Americans weren't talking about wealth inequality or dangers of capitalism 8 years ago.

White Americans weren't openly calling themselves White nationalists 8 years ago.

These grassroots movements aren't about getting members or having parties because nothing about these movements create a reason for that - it's about consciousness raising so that people in power will act on the goals. It's about changing the worldview of people.

ADOS movement, Occupy Wallstreet and the Tea Party Movement won already.

8 years from now, everybody that is ADOS ain't gonna need an Yvette or Tone Talks, because we will each be an Yvette and Tone, telling our children and our families these things. Our politicians won't need us to tell them things because they will be inoculated with the message already and reparations will always be on the table.

Lol, smh. Tell me how any of those questions would be a bad reality?
Really now. I'm asking about tangible political moves and you're talking about some Igbo guy asking a long shot candidate about reparations.
Why am I the "bad guy"?
Both the Tea Party and Occupy had PACs by the way.

Man, I was shocked to find that my college buddy, dorm mate, and bro was following the movement. I saw him talking about it on his social media and was like :ohhh:

Anyways, he’s got quite a few from my hometown involved, and actually doing community work in the city and attending community town halls. We’re coming!

HBCU student debt the highest in the nation.

BET International
According to the WSJ’s report, the median student loan debt of an HBCU graduate is around $29,000, which is 32% higher than graduates of other public and nonprofit four-year schools. Additionally, most graduates of HBCUs haven’t been able to put any money towards the initial balance of their loan in their first years out of school.

Although HBCUs only make up 5% of four-year institutions in the country, they represent 50% of the 100 schools with the lowest three-year student-loan repayment rates.

One of the major reasons why the situation has become so dire is that Black families hold the "least wealth of the largest U.S. racial groups," according to the report. And with the cost of HBCUs on the rise, Black families have found themselves paying more for school without seeing much rise in their average household income.

25-year-old Theo Dorsey graduated from Hampton University in 2015 with $20,500 in student loan debt. Although he’s tried to make a payment on the loan every month, Dorsey, who now works as a television reporter in Greensboro, N.C., still owes nearly $20,000 due to interest rates.

“Bills and loans eat up most of my checks as is,” Dorsey told the WSJ. He said he earns less than $50,000 a year and feels like the “odds are kind of stacked up against me.”
