Ta-Nehisi Coates’ essay, which I applauded, got a lot of fanfare, but it didn’t move the needle. Know why? There wasn’t a grassroots movement to rally around it. That’s #ADOS. We put reparations in the Democratic primary & we created this moment.
NCOBRA hasn’t done a thing.

By NHJ not acknowledging what we’ve done, while she was still trying to figure out why Kamala wasn’t identical to #ADOS, she’s basically stealing.
Just tell the truth about it. There’s an actual timeline here that is contrary to everything she’s saying.

And centering BLM in her article, when they don’t even agree with her criteria for reparations, and haven’t done any reparations work, was just goofy & lazy.
Understand, I wouldn’t even say anything if @nhannahjones wasn’t defending the indefensible.
This silliness amounts to the work Black Lives Matter has done on reparations; this unserious push for Global reparations for us, colonialism and the “war” on Black people. It’s stupid.

Last year when I tried to make the case for #ADOS as a *SPECIFIC* group with a*SPECIFIC* justice claim, NHJ said I was doing the work of white supremacists, but now that she’s finally on the same page, she ain’t learn nothing from us & don’t owe us a thing smh
