Could you imagine if The Little Rock Nine, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, The Black Panthers, NAACP, Emmett Tills mother, The Greensboro Four, little Ruby Bridges, The Freedom Riders and many others all sat around on fussing over who did what first instead of actually changing the world?
And can you imagine if all these figures spent any amount of their energy trying to demean and discredit African nationals and Caribbeans while white supremacy is growing around them? Can you imagine if any of these people were more concerned with elevating black "Americans" rhetorically above all other black people instead of taking on white supremacy? Can you imagine any of these people rooting for Donald Trump in any capacity like Yvettte. And Tariq have? Can you imagine any of them sitting on the board of directors of hard right wing anti immigrant groups behind their supporters back as Carnell has?
All these hashtags are a fukkin joke.

they didn't have Twitter.Could you imagine if The Little Rock Nine, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, The Black Panthers, NAACP, Emmett Tills mother, The Greensboro Four, little Ruby Bridges, The Freedom Riders and many others all sat around on fussing over who did what first instead of actually changing the world?
That’s being disingenuous. It’s all immigrants, not just African/caribbean. Black people fought to bring them over in the 60’s and got nothing out of it.
Civil rights leaders probably would’ve agreed if they were alive today and saw there was no benefit to it.
No they wouldn't. Not all of these people died young or were assassinated and absolutely none of them expressed any resentment towards black immigrants. I know when you e been sucked into ADOS hashtag world you lose sense of reality. But the truth is, no, fighting for civil rights in any country isn't some transactional exchange of "getting something out of it." You don't fight against injusti e and human rights abuses because you want something out of it, weirdo. This is why you sit at home typing a bunch of aimless psuedo intellectual shyt about whether black people "benefit" or receive enough praise from immigrants while those actually putting in work have no fukking clue what "#ADOS" or "FBA" even is.

I know when youve been sucked into ADOS hashtag world you lose sense of reality. But the truth is, no, fighting for civil rights in any country isn't some transactional exchange of "getting something out of it" from other marginalized people. You don't fight against injustice and human rights abuses because you want something out of it from the margginalized victims, you fight because you want something out of it from the abusers in power, for the greater good of life in general. Weirdo. This is why youre sitting at home typing a bunch of aimless psuedo intellectual shyt about whether you would "benefit" or receive enough credit for fighting against those abusing power instead of doing anything. Thank God the world has real heroes who arent so self centered.

It’s not about black immigrants.
No, they wouldn’t most Hispanics and Asians side with cacs. Why would civil rights leaders fight for them to come over if they knew that?
Just a month before the ADOS ConferenceBut she stole it from Norris Shelton tho.
