There were various Caribbean centered groups who wanted distinction from African Americans. Someone must’ve told them all the benefits and grants would go away so much hasn’t been said about it since.

I'm wondering how #ADOS is handling this story > Founder of African American museum found dead in trunk of car
Has this begun to trend among #ADOS sites, grams, and tweets? If not, then who should be pushing this information out there and making sure that this case gets the attention that it deserves?

Just read up on this.
Someone needs to push this. An AA woman from Baton Rouge was murdered. Such a sad story.

That's my point. Shouldn't ADOS and certainly #ADOS be pushing this story?

Beto O’Rourke Shares Essay Revealing He’s Descended from Slave Owners

Beto O'Rourke Reveals He's Descended from Slave Owners
2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke posted an essay revealing he is descended from slave owners, saying “I benefit from a system that my ancestors built to favor themselves at the expense of others.”
The former Texas congressman posted the essay to his Medium account Sunday night. The essay is titled “Rose and Eliza” who O’Rourke says are the two people his great-great-great-grandfather owned as slaves.
“I was recently given documents showing that both Amy and I are descended from people who owned slaves,” he wrote.
“In the aggregate, slavery, its legacy and the ensuing forms of institutionalized racism have produced an America with stark differences in opportunities and outcomes, depending on race,” O’Rourke wrote. “I benefit from a system that my ancestors built to favor themselves at the expense of others. That only increases the urgency I feel to help change this country so that it works for those who have been locked-out of — or locked-up in — this system.”
O’Rourke ended the essay by outlining his policy proposals aimed at reducing racial inequality, writing “I will continue to support reparations, beginning with an important national conversation on slavery and racial injustice.”

This is about 9/11 fund. But the fund is going to descendants of those 9/11 responders as well. And as Jon Stewart pointed out they are having to keep going back to get funding that the gov't should have paid out and made permanent law 14 years ago.
In short, the argument that Jon is making here sounds very similar to the argument for reparations.

That #ADOS advocacy and pressure.

That's huge.
I bet they feel so stupid because that hispanic pandering got them nothing and now those progressives are coming for their ne- ahem, I mean seats. Now they have to crawl back to the people they were suppose to represent.
