Yvette is right. I literally seen Jones on Ebro in the morning and she was stealing Yvette talking points word for word, bar for bar.
If reparations are the goal then why does Yvette and Tone want to be the face of it so bad? Why should that matter beyond clout and $? All they do is beat up on people who are down for the cause but not down with them. It’s corny and not constructive. Glad the current climate and movement has little to do with those clowns, which I’m sure has them peeved due to how much they beg for attention.
It is extremely valuable to have researchers and creators of a movement to advocate it. The rebittal, argumentation, and pre-emptive counter points are built in its creation. Time and repetition of lecture is formidable as a proponent for a subject. Some things need substance and not a face. Yvette and Tone are substantive.If reparations are the goal then why does Yvette and Tone want to be the face of it so bad? Why should that matter beyond clout and $?

I admit Yvette and Tone look overly sensitive and lack diplomacy on Twitter. lol
But they get defensive or aggressive because a lot of black media folks will talk about Reparations or a Black Agenda but are not serious about the fight.

Ida Bae about to come up but we don't need no more documentaries. We need more advocates.

Yvette does more harm for reparations cause she has zero people skills. It’s either she gets all the credit as the leader of the shyt or she wants to burn it all down. She seems like an agent to me. She makes reparations toxic to the point nobody even wants to say it or risk getting attacked by her ADOS cult. She falls out with EVERYONE. I rep FBA and Claude anderson. A true scholar.
No it hasn't. All the myths we have been told to improve our stance were disproved only because of tone's studyThe research and data that Tone and Yvette tout has been around for literal decades. They are not the only ones that have done the research and have access to it. They sparked a social media movement around it, mostly using some other tangential issues like immigration and diaspora hatred that appealed to some of yall's emotions, but they are not the gate keepers of the reparations discussion as much as they and their followers tend to think.
To your dumbass maybe, but we been on the reparations tip for over the last 15 years nonstop but I'll leave it to your dumbass to live in your own bubble.And that was the last time anybody talked about it seriously. I remember bc i was at similar mtgs in Harlem. Since then, you couldn't get anybody serious to even consider it without laughing in your face. How long did Conyers hr 40, sit there, unpassed and unloved? Literal decades.
Yvette and Tone, no matter what you think of them, built up the current movement cuz ncobra and them wasnt moving shyt. They couldn't make an argument that would enflame the masses to then push our politicians to move on hr 40 (which, again, languished for decades).
Why cant yall just give props? We all know it was the ADOS movement that got YOUNG PEOPLE talking about reparations. It was no one else. I gotta admit Tariq Nasheed played a big part as well, but he also was riding the ADOS waveTo your dumbass maybe, but we been on the reparations tip for over the last 15 years nonstop but I'll leave it to your dumbass to live in your own bubble.
