For past 4 yrs volunteer community organizers of @cjecofficial @NAASDLA put in thousands of hours of work to produce what you now know as #AB3121 & #SB189. We consulted legal, legislative and policy experts. We gathered input from dozens of listening sessions throughout CA.✊🏾💪🏾
We worked closely w/ Dr. Weber, Dr. Darity and a multitude of state and local elected officials. We even brought @icecube into the process.
We amended #AB3121, got it passed into law and, defeated an attempt to change the eligibility intent of the statute. #LineageVote ✊🏾💪🏾

We conducted surveys and produced countless pieces of marketing content directed at raising awareness in the CA #Freedmen community about #Reparations efforts in the state.
Everything we have done was to inform our people and bring them/ their input into the process. ✊🏾💪🏾

I challenge Ms Integrity, @JAMAiwuyor, to post screenshots and page numbers of passages in From Here to Equality where @IrstenKMullen and I made either of the two statementsx she falsely attributes to us.

In From Here to Equality on pages 43-44 we argue there are salient differences between the experiences of black American descendants of US slavery and recent black immigrants in the US.
We say on p.44 of #FHTE “...ith is misleading to depict as synonymous the experience of ethnic immigrants or immigrants of color and African-Americans taken collectively... “
As far as “ Black Empowerment “ and “Bootstraperism” in the #ADOS communities are concerned academia will also concede to the data that suggest these theories are apart of a concerted effort to disenfranchise #ADOS.
“When viewed as a scientific project; #culteraldeterminism encounters several crippling problems. For Instance, violent crime can be attributed to a culture of violence. We never learn what causes some societies to be violent in the first place”.
“Instead, the outcome is used to explain itself- (which is an exercise in CIRCULAR REASONING) that lacks SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY. According to @SandyDarity, lateral mobility among non-#ADOS races contradict this ideology”. #FHTE
