An unregulated environment is a dangerous environment, especially for wealthless people.

Encouraging crypto was reckless investment advice, but an excellent sales funnel for the Black Business School.

#ADOS
The reason everyone is pivoting to reparations advocacy is because 1/ they’re grifters but also 2/ they’ve spent decades being wrong about everything, w/ zero accountability. Image
It’s all the same. This space is saturated w/ incompetence & fraudsters. And there’s too little social judgement from the community.

These people didn’t grow or change their minds. It’s just a grift. It’s *ALL* a grift Image
If Tariq & Boyce had had their way, there wouldn’t be a reparations mov’t. They both tried to kill it in favor of empowerment porn projects.

Where’s the accountability?
It’s all the same.

As a political scientist, I really don’t think people understand how hard Kemp fought *NOT* to have a redo of his last contest w/ Abrams

1/ Kemp increased his share of the vote in 152 of 159 counties Image
2/ Kemp took advantage of Abrams’ rising star/celebrity status among Dems, easily painting her as out of touch w/ the needs of regular Georgians.

Abrams campaigning to become Biden’s VP didn’t help either. Image
3/ Kemp built a grassroots machine that rivaled Democrats, & he did it quietly, w/ little fanfare. Image

1/ Since some ppl have been sowing seeds of division, let’s discuss this Jared Ball & Co interview of Dr @CornelWest, which begins with Mr Kamau saying they have “solid critiques” of #ADOS, but not surprisingly, not one ☝️ solid critique was leveled..

It gets worse…
2/ Dr Cornel West poetically expresses his position—he believes in specificity, but doesn’t think that specificity should preclude solidarity.

I don’t think I disagree, but even if I did, so what?
3/ Dr West even tries to express the importance of specificity w/ an example from his own career/life…. wherein Jared Ball gazes off into the distance & scratches uncomfortably…

SNL is calling #ADOS stupid.

If you’d have a problem w/ Mexicans or whites in Blackface acting in this segment, why would u accept the insult coming from a Nigerian & a Black Brit (Ugandan)?

Cosplaying ADOS so that u can insult ADOS is not OK. Neither r these ADOS sellouts
The real reason #ADOS are hesitant to take the vaccine is not only bc of medical apartheid in the past, but our current treatment by the medical establishment.

This segment was racist bc it suggested that the problem is stupid #ADOS rather than a racist America.

This is honestly one of the most exclusionary, inflammatory & racist comments I’ve heard thus far.

#ADOS are *ALWAYS* last hired, first fired. We’re economically GUTTED by every downturn, but apparently, the only take away from these crises is how hard Hispanics are hit.

Understand one thing: #ADOS gave all of our energy to hr 40, long after we should’ve pivoted. Long after I pivoted.

Some of u r still tweeting about editing this bill, at Darity’s suggestion.

If this N’COBRA bill passes, that’s an enormous setback 4 us.
Dr Darity was invited to speak at the hr 40 hearing last year, something Antonio & I didn’t know until we spoke to him en route to the Angela Project.

Neither @tonetalks nor I were invited. Darity should’ve gone. It was an opportunity to speak w/ & influence members of Congress
NAASD (The Assembly), ADOS LA, BTP, decided to push 4 Darity’s edits, instead of pivoting to build something new, even after @tonetalks & I criticized the bill & pivoted.

Y’all might actually get the politics u deserve. U already got the leadership u deserve.

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.
