Essential The Official ADOS Discussion Thread

[Roland Coltrane]

You're back to that again. More distractions.





You would have made an excellent slave.




The gov't owes AAs a debt. AAs have a right to demand that debt gets paid. Racism being an actual National Security threat, U.S. original sin coming back to haunt again, the improvement of significant portion of the country, and guaranteed economic jumpstart for the country are all enough for the gov't to pay what is owed.

Of course, keep doing what you've been doing for 50 years. It's worked thus far.

whoever is the mod of this section should have booted that clown for derailment a LONG time ago

we're in here trying to build and he's trying to distract us like a scared bytch.

I thought we learned by now to stop feeding the concern trolls

The amount of ADOS folk that care about foreign poverty and look down on their own kind is mind boggling.

I had a discussion that ended up talking about how "nikkas are just lazy"

But then this motherfukker told me about all the foreign poverty and how people are stuck doing bullshyt to get paid and how they don't got no food and how sad it all is.

And I was like, that shyt happens over here.

And the motherfukker was like, but over here you get government assistance and have food banks and blah blah blah.

And I was likee most poor Black folk live in food deserts and go hungry. How you can you attribute laziness to our poverty their poverty it is all because of government and rich motherfukkers?

A lot of ADOS folk have internalized welfare queen propaganda and just hate their own kind even though they themselves are two miss paychecks and an eviction away from being the people they talk about.

Americans need to stop thinking that 3rd world type poverty conditions don't exist in the USA. USA ain't full of options for people without money. Americans always wanna help some motherfukker that is thousands of miles away instead of their own fukking people right next to them.

shyt is stupid as fukk.

It's because they see ADOS poverty as self-inflicted and foreign poverty as externally imposed. That POV is grossly flawed. Unfortunately, that's the luxury being in a 1st world country grants you.

I never thought like that. Poverty and extreme wealth to me is like a grand event. It's not something that happens through a singular effort.

This romanticizing of foreign poverty helps no one. It doesn't help the poor people over here or them over there.

Especially when us ADOS folks are always the comparison. The fact that we even being compared should mean that shyt sucks over here for ADOS folk.

ADOS is treated like trash for real. Like, if we poor, it is our fault, but if the country is rich, we have nothing to do with the country being rich. But if foreign people are poor, it ain't their fault and if their country is poor, it ain't their fault.

House approves anti-LGBT discrimination Equality Act

House approves anti-LGBT discrimination Equality Act

The House on Friday for the first time approved legislation banning anti-LGBT discrimination in a 236-173 vote.

Every Democrat voted for the measure, as did eight Republicans.

The Equality Act would expand the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act to ban discrimination in employment, housing, jury selection and public accommodations based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

“This legislation will provide members of LGBTQ Americans protections from being denying medical care or being fired or thrown out of their homes,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said on the floor ahead of the vote.

He said the bill would expand the definition of “who is understood to be included in the Declaration of Independence.”

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a civil rights leader, applauded the legislation for continuing efforts to fight discrimination in the United States.

“Today on this day we have an opportunity to send a message now to help end discrimination in our country and set all of our people free,” Lewis said.

The measure, spearheaded by Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), was expected to be approved but faced opposition from conservatives, who said it would infringe upon people’s religious liberties.

Opponents argued the bill “is anything but equalizing,” in the words of Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.).

“In fact, this bill legalizes discrimination — government imposed top-down discrimination against those with time-honored views of marriage and gender,” she said in remarks on the floor ahead of the vote.

GOP Reps. Susan Brooks (Ind.), Mario Diaz-Balart (Fla.), Brian Fitzpatrick(Pa.), Will Hurd (Texas), John Katko (N.Y.), Tom Reed (N.Y.), Elise Stefanik(N.Y.) and Greg Walden (Ore.) all opted to vote with Democrats.

More than 200 businesses, including Facebook, Google, Hilton and JPMorgan Chase, backed the measure. Groups opposing it included the Heritage Foundation and the Family Research Council.

The Heritage Foundation alleged the bill would “force employers and workers to conform to new sexual norms,” “force hospitals and insurers to provide and pay for these therapies against any moral or medical objections” and “lead to the erasure of women.”

The bill faces an uphill battle in the Republican-controlled Senate, where it is unlikely Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will bring the measurer up for a vote.

President Trump is also unlikely to sign the bill should it make it through both chambers.

“The Trump administration absolutely opposes discrimination of any kind and supports the equal treatment of all," a senior administration official told NBC News. "However, this bill in its current form is filled with poison pills that threaten to undermine parental and conscience rights.”




Using policy that was intended for black folks to uplift everyone else. Jon Lewis was crying about how important this is. But these mofos are dead silent about Reparations.

The Civil Rights Act of 1866, 1871, 1875 were for us. But even the Civil Rights Act of 1866 - that gave us citizenship was perverted to include everyone.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, outlawed discrimination against someone's sex, race, color, national origin and religion.

It never just for us, even though we pushed for it the most.

I think we should re-examine the Civil Rights Movement on a national scale and realize that it didn't just include us, that it included everyone at the time. Talking about LGBT, Women and ADOS.

That way, we can look realize how we did not receive certain protections that would make us a protected class. What really happened was, the government protected everyone, which doesn't make us whole. We need specific and explicit redress, not broad strokes.

We got Okey Doked. Other groups used our Civil Rights Movement as a springboard for their own movements.

Great post!

This post also illustrates why you have some of us against or noncommittal on reparations. We vote and go all out for the Democratic Party, but we are hardline conservatives on ourselves sadly.

We want to save the world, even if it kills us in the process smh.

ADOS haters threw stones and hid their hands expecting Tone and Yvette to slander Robert F. Smith’s great deed. Guess they were disappointed Tone didn’t slander Robert F. Smith and instead applauded him. They’re mad Tone got at Jay Z now for profiting off ankle monitors.
