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

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
The Biden Admin supported & increased the #police budget, while the media accentuates the “surge in violent #crime.”
This will disproportionately affect the Black community, as in #California we’re “3 times more likely to be seriously injured, shot, or killed by the police..”
In #California governor Gavin Newsom’s “Real Public Safety Plan,” it includes things like $255M in grants over 3 yrs to increase police presence in retail stores, a permanent Smash & Grab Enforcement Unit under the CA Highway Patrol & $30M in grants for local prosecutors… 👀
Last year I posted about the 5 suspects who were arrested, & the $80M in stolen merchandise recovered during a sting operation that busted the largest #retailtheft organization to date, in the state of #California.
After having searched 2 buildings & the wrong floor, we finally found Ann Crigler’s office.🏢🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️
Her web profile on @USCDornsife says her office is on the 3rd fl, but we discovered it’s on the 2nd fl; after having asked a staff member. #CrimsonSmear#PoisonIvy#ADOSAF
Ann Crigler wasn’t in her office & we didn’t see her in the quad.
A prof let us know that there weren’t any drop boxes avail, our only option was to slide our official rebuttal under her office door. @USCDornsife@ShorensteinCtr
