And again let’s make everyone clear what was done here was plainly awful. And it damaged the reparations discussion in immeasurable ways that are now very clear. #ados
There would be no crazed hollering in this room if I was present and not shut out of my own work product. They then used them to now spin REPARATIONS into an equity project for all. They just aren’t sharp enough to see it.
There would be no inclusion of EQUITY add- ons like election day as a paid holiday that belong on someone else’s bill, there would be no elementary school low ball calculations for #ados lost value, and there definitely would be no accepted Newsom interview on Fox News laying out… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
If Governor Newsom doesn’t announce support for cash centered reparations on his site in this way below he isn’t in real support of #ab3121 or reparations in the billions at the state level and trillions federally. Understand instead of this clear support he went on Fox News and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
I’m tired of @BreakingBrown and I teaching these people that were fans of our shows about #ados lineage, then about wealth inequality, now about basic politics 101. They either clearly don’t know the above basic fact, or are pulling a con and know they cannot get a unwavering… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Tune in tomorrow 5/10/23 show releases on @YouTube at 830am pst @tonetalks Youtube. "Will Artificial Intelligence AI & Robots take all the jobs in America?"
Watch Here:
Here is a preview section from the show where I give a scathing review of #AB3121twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Newsom is basically saying he is opposed to reparations. The #ab3121 panel was a waste of time & the recommendations don’t even make sense. They can stop no need for 2024. “Gov. Gavin Newsom Will Not Support Cash Reparations But ‘Supports Recommendations’” californiaglobe.com/articles/gov-g…
When Newsom says he supports recommendations he is saying he believes this is reparations. And this is what he supports. >>> “….other more social changes were recommended including removing racial bias and discriminatory practices in standardized testing, declaring election day… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

As I told you back in March this California #ab3121 reparations recommendation would not make sense when released. Now it’s up to $1.2 million for someone 71 years old. Thus randomly breaking this down by age. This elementary calculation isn’t proper form for lineal reparations.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage

None of what is recommended addresses a wealth chasm between #ados Blacks and whites. You don’t need small scale pilot programs. You need a massive reparative justice program that 1) is for American Descendants of Slavery 2) recognizes the trillions that need to be repaid.
These ideas are detached from the economic collapse in #ados Black America. Only 21% of Black Americans even have above a 700 FICO. What do you think that it is for working age #ados taking out boomers and Black immigrants 5-10% break 700? Really POC commercial property programs. Image
They are just writing anything how is this different than saying create a time machine and stop slavery or let’s just start with $20 million to the family from Bruce Beach on property worth $240 million. Look at this ex. for commercial property that says $10 million in revenue. ImageImage

This is why #ados is vital. This woman discusses East African racism practiced in America while dating. She says “We’re treating people as less than people.” Many Black Americans don't grasp this conceptually bc we don't think in this context. #ADOS is not divisive its necessary.
Our lives as #ados are filled up with so much acceptance that we don’t understand that without exclusion there are no boundaries. We are not flat Black. We are American Descendants of Slavery. Joinados.com ImageImageImageImage
We don’t grasp Blackness as we use it through the lens of it being an American racial construct. Resulting from our specific #ados oppression. —“It explains why most Africans experience being called “black” or “African” for the first time when they come to America.” @CityLab Image

Like I have said life is now more about wealth transfers than labor. Making the cost of being #ados heavy beyond measure. “Gen Z and young millennials have found a new way to afford luxury handbags and watches—living with mom and dad, says Morgan Stanley”

As I wrote a decade ago. “The new era that has arrived brings us back to a time where what you will become is based not on how much Chase will loan you without collateral, but rather what your grandfather left for you years ago.“ Rise of Legacy 2013 huffpost.com/entry/the-era-…
I think many will miss what is being said because the title framed it incorrectly. Literally this title is saying that Gen Z & younger millennials are paying for the basic cost of life with parental transfers of wealth & using labor for consumption goods. That’s America in 2022.

1) Interesting thread it shows a severe lack of understanding of the moment. While the tweet framed it around “work” it’s much deeper. Our generation will not have the wealth to promise more than we had and almost no one tweeting replies seemed to get this basic economic truth. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2) Many were subtweeting w/ no grasp on the shift in wealth we are living through. And also understanding the way cars have shifted both in cost and who manufacturers target. Economy cars are dying. People are in the thread totally void of understanding economics in America.
3) The avg payment on a used car 2022 2nd qtr was $515 & that’s before the loan rates hit 6% w/ good credit. You have people driving @uber or doing contract work saying they are buying their kid a used car. Next they say my 15 yr old kid won’t have college loans w/ nothing saved.
