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.
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

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…
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.

“"Consumers were illegally assessed fees and interest charges on auto and mortgage loans, had their cars wrongly repossessed, and had payments to auto and mortgage loans misapplied by the bank."” #WellsFargo
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. #BlackHistoryMonth
