There’s a serious war going on right now regarding Kamala Harris blackness and her lineage

[ShadowBroker]

You're exactly right but this is thecoli so... you know

"It focuses on the difference between African Americans whose ancestors were slaves and those whose ancestors were not, calling for the descendants of slaves to be given priority over other African Americans and to have their own racial classification. They believe that the differences are enough to establish different ethnicities between the groups and that descendants of slaves are disadvantaged compared to other African Americans. Their skepticism concerning immigration has attracted criticism and the suggestion that they are dividing African Americans and targeting Democrats."

Its funny they feel like kamala Harris isn't "black enough" when the person that came up with the ados term is only 21% black herself. Her entire family is of mixed race

The argument was NEVER about Kamala being Black enough. It was that her lineage is not ADOS. Her Black Jamaican American father is not ADOS. Neither is her Indian mother who raised her in Canada. The majority of Black ppl in the US are ADOS. Her summers in India with her Bhramin caste family is not an ADOS life.

ADOS would be the Untouchables class if that caste system was practiced here.

I don't see how people can't see that ados is divisive. Plus, one of the creators is a board member of an organization thats supported by white supremacist group.

"American Descendents of Slavery (ADOS) is an obscure pro-reparations group that has been attacking prominent Black progressives who also support reparations. There is evidence that ADOS is advancing a right-wing agenda, and while it calls itself progressive, it pushes pro-Trump, anti-immigrant views.

As ADOS explains on its policy page, the group is in favor of reparations for the descendents of slaves who were held in captivity in the United States. As the policy page argues, “Black immigrants should be barred from accessing affirmative action and other set asides intended for ADOS."

ADOS co-founder Yvette Carnell is a board member of right-wing front group Progressives for Immigration Reform (PFIR). PFIR has ties to Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an extremist group run by white nationalist John Tanton. Carnell has claimed that PFIR is a bona fide progressive group despite its anti-immigrant approach. Carnell also uploaded a video to YouTube praising Donald Trump, but deleted it after it began to receive scrutiny from progressive activists.
