“I find myself once again in the same position as President Obama,” McConnell told reporters. “We both oppose reparations. We both are the descendants of slave owners.”

And neither u nor Obama were #ADOS. politico.com/story/2019/07/…

Is it at least becoming apparent now how horrible Obama is/was for Black politics? This is a prime example of how Obama’s awfulness will be used as cover for white politicians into the foreseeable future. #ADOS 🇺🇸

Obama lived a white life. He wasn’t rooted in the cost of American chattel slavery & that accrued disadvantage. And those of us who are rooted in it are now paying the price 4 allowing Obama to cast himself as a member of our #ADOS tribe.

We didn’t hold Obama up to any standards. We gave him a collective pass on issues imperative to our survival. We pretended he was #ADOS. And now look at what we’ve done. McConnell is asking the question I once predicted white politicians would throw back in our faces:

And it’s not *ONLY* Obama who is responsible. The entire Negro Chattering Class on the cable news networks who co-signed Obama: Toure, Sharpton, Goldie Taylor, Roland Martin, Michael Eric Dyson, Melissa Harris Perry, Joy Reid, Jelani Cobb. Ur all guilty of political malpractice.

#ADOS listened to all these Black pundits on CNN & MSNBC defend Obama’s policies of neglecting us while playing to middle of the road politics, and telling us we were going to see more substantive changes in our favor come his second term. It was all BS, and I said so.

Of course this is tomorrow’s livecast show. You already know that. We must face the mess Black pundits made of our politics in deciding to be mostly uncritical of the first Black president (not the first #ADOS president). It’s a distinction that matters. #LineageMatters

All these Chattering Class Negroes want is proximity to power so they can sell more books. Or put a screenshot of themselves being interviewed in their profile pic SMH. Why would anyone buy that Joy Reid book except for kindling? And there’s cheaper kindling available. #ADOS
