If you include Black immigrants in reparations for #ADOS, then it’s no longer reparations for ADOS.

This is not a “trial balloon”, sir. This is selling out our justice claim. See it for what it is.

If Darity gets on the reparations commission, he’s going to cave.

Darity bastardized his own work to include Black immigrants in reparations, and 4 what? 2 be liked? To be invited to the reparations commission?

And this ain’t over. Darity just signaled to u that he’s willing to sellout #ADOS.

This is why academics don’t lead movements

Listen, Black immigrants & non ADOS Blacks are already included in our Black agenda, but not our justice claim.

Our justice claim is *SACRED* & Darity is already negotiating it away, as if it’s some kind of political football.

This is shameful.

People accuse me of being mean & nasty. I’m not. What I am is a ferocious protector of our justice claim in this country.

Whether u know it or not, we need that. You need that. It’s necessary bc people are always shoehorning their way into our agenda.

Darity can’t b that.

Keep the same energy for Darity that you’d have for me if I’d said I was just “testing out” giving reparations to Black immigrants.

Once you include *ANY* immigrants in our justice claim, u crack that door open for *ALL* immigrants. Darity knows that, and yet he persists.

I began criticizing Darity bc I know what he is and how he’ll be used. He’s a poison pill to the #ADOS movement.

Darity signaled to Immigrants, N’COBRA, NAARC, and the Congressional Black Caucus that he’s willing to allow immigrants in on the justice claim of #ADOS.

The people who were unsure of Darity’s willingness 2 sellout can rest easy now.

Darity didn’t make a mistake. He successfully signaled to the people he needed to signal.

Don’t buy the Gomer Pyle “G-o-o-o-ll-ee! Sorry ‘bout that weather balloon y’all!” act. It’s a facade.

Darity knows exactly what he’s doing & why he’s doing it.

POP UP SHOW TODAY @ 7:30 PM EST

Y’all see why I left people like Tony Blount alone? He’s going to “strategize” his way out of reparations.

Speaking of strategy, how do u think white America is going to react to giving reparations to Blacks who emigrated here voluntarily? How’s that for strategy?

The people who recently jumped ship— NAASD (The Assembly), BTP, ADOS LA, these are sellouts who are onboard w/ Darity’s plan to open reparations up to immigrants.

And once u crack that door open for a few, it gets kicked in by the many.

Funny how Native Americans never need to deploy the strategy of including ADOS in order to get their agenda taken seriously. Same for every other group.

This idea that we must negotiate along this inclusive path is just absurdly stupid. Negroes love to think they Machiavelli.
