14/ Infact some have been downright *problematic* e.g @iLuvvit. None of that justifies or should condone the virulent anti-blackness (particularly anti-African and Carribean rhetoric) permeating through #ADOS supporters starting from their co-founders @tonetalks & @BreakingBrown
15/ @tonetalks is right to compare and contrast the intra-racial disparities between Americans of Carribean & African descent vs #ADOS in attempting to illustrate the frightening disparities in wealth but, is devastatingly WRONG to blame that on, lax immigration policies or
16/ recent Americans of African or Caribbean descent because, they dared to come to the United States to seek a better life (and are ultimately succeeding because of a combination of their hard work and the *embattled labor* of the #ADOS people that make America truly great).
17/ #ADOS have been the moral conscience of this nation for over 400 years. Re-direct that energy in the appropriate direction: *institutional racism* and, the systemic and structural impediments, that America’s 400 plus years of virulent white supremacy have extolled on ALL
18/ Americans of African and Carribean persuasion, admittedly with differing effects.
Either that or #ADOS will go down in history as being the far-right, xenophobic movement it seems to be patterning itself after.
