First of all, I'm not a STEM major. I'm interested in it and tryna break in the field. Second of all, you exactly providing a counter yourself. Just ad hominems.
Because black immigrants aren't who can provide reparations nor are they stopping it and of course I'm a real life pan africanist
Gotta disagree with the bolded For one, data can be manipulated. Two, other data can be used to silence your point-- we've seen that for a looooong time with black on black crime and they just as quickly assert that it can't be disputed. Three, white people BEEN known the data. It helped immensely with redlining communities and gentrification, prisons being built on third graders academic status, etc. Finally, just cuz you have the data doesn't mean whites will care... for all the afformentioned reasons.
I'm not saying data is useless and shouldn't be utilized, I'm just saying you can't rely on it to be the decisive blow. It's a tool to inform strategy. The bigger issue here is pointless diaspora wars and gossip though.
No, the bigger issue is not diaspora wars, that's just the piece that you and others like you focus on.
The only issue is, and will always be, ADOS getting what is owed to us for the free, forced labor of our ancestors, that played a vital roll in this becoming the "land of opportunity" for everyone but us, and every single policy that was created after slavery to keep us as the bottom caste in this nation.
You are allowing yourself to be played and encouraged to fight against people who are not your enemy.
There is no diaspora war.
What happened is, a group of "black" people decided to self identify themselves for the purpose of correcting a wrong done specifically to them, focused on a very specific target, and because ALL "black" people weren't included in this self identification and justice claim, SOME "black" people felt a way, labeled the movement xenophobic, and decided to align themselves with the colonizers, instead of just shuttin the fukk up and letting their supposed kinfolk get their just dues.
