Did #Reparations save the Jewish community? 🤔

#StopAntiBlackAmericanHate Image
This was a show to “debate” callers’ #Reparations arguments. Not only do the hosts lack historical context on anti-ADOS discrimination codified into American law & the data, they believe we’re only owed $2.1T.

Every rebuttal was based on racist stereotypes & bootstrapper beliefs
A prev caller tried to quote Antonio Moore’s data on the % of Black immigrants in the US prior to 1965 & JT said he was very familiar w/ his work.

He proceeded to responded to almost every caller w/ anti-ADOS rhetoric & repeated how financial literacy is needed.🥴
#Reparations
Found it! Right after saying he was familiar w/ ADOS co-founder AT’s work, he brought up Marcus Garvey…

Later in the show he brought up Farrakhan & how we’re “all Black.”🥴

It seems like JT did this show to regurgitate anti-#Reparations myths that have been debunked yrs ago.

Financial Literacy Programs Ignore That Poverty Is a Policy Choice

After claiming their criticisms were for all Americans’ bad spending habits, the hosts & a 1st gen immigrant joked about Black folks seeking instant gratification.

“I believe in #Reparations & I hope it comes. & I plan on taking advantage of those who mismanage their assets.”😒
Wow. Terrible typo .. *AM’s work

A licensed attorney & self-proclaimed political loudmouth, posts a video accusing ADOS of being xenophobic.

Did she do any research before posting this regurgitated nonsense?

Did she read the #ADOSAF website ?

This attorney’s intentional conflation continued w/ this post below, where she highlighted an alleged serial scammer who once claimed to be associated w/ BLM.

That alleged scammer has no affiliation w/ ADOS whatsoever. Many have blocked that individual.

@LegalAidNYC Now that this @LegalAidNYC staff attorney @msolurin is attempting to renew years old false associations, she has encouraged others to renew debunked libelous accusations that were made against the ADOS founders & supporters.

This is very telling behavior, especially coming from… https://t.co/R4xqtSXN18 https://t.co/XbMM1xZXCYtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Mayor Bass, the colors & style of the graphic you’re using is incorrect, & does not accurately represent #JuneteenthDay.

Juneteenth is an American holiday, celebrating the freedom of enslaved Negr0es in the United States. The official colors have been red, white & blue since… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
Our #JuneteenthDay holiday has been documented for over a century, there’s enough documentaries & articles that provide enough information & historical context for all ages to understand.

Mr. #FletcherAnderson, founding member of the Bogalusa Deacons for Defense chapter, speaks to why #DeaconsForDefense were needed to protect Negr0es in #Louisiana.

“The police were not there to protect us, they were there to protect the Klu Klux Klan.”
#BlackHistoryMonth #ADOS 🇺🇸
Mr. #FletcherAnderson & wife Mrs. #CynthiaAnderson were known for their local advocacy, & fought to advance & protect the Negr0 #politics

“Just about everybody on the street. They lived in the same house, but they had ‘em voting in different districts.”

#BlackHistoryMonth #ADOS
Mr. Fletcher worked at the Crown Zellerbach paper mill & Mrs. #CynthiaAnderson was an educator in the St. Tammy Parish school system(& a #GramblingStateUniversity grad).

Mrs. Anderson saw how racial bias was infused in alt teaching methods after desegregation.

@FloydiesNFT is another example of how #America views ADOS lives; even in death we’re denied peaceful rest.

@SFMayorsOffice @LondonBreed What are you doing about @SFPDCentral support of this racist trope?
