We’re not pitied because of ‘identity’.

As a people, we’ve endured slavery, convict leasing, Jim Crow, white mob violence, plunder etc.

The most powerful country in the world has weaponized itself against its own #ADOS citizens.

There are real & lasting consequences.
And you “keep groups down” by not making them whole.

America has paid reparations to many groups as recompense, the only notable exception being #ADOS.

Is that indicative of our freedom? Or oppression?
It is also peak Orwellian to describe our problems of oppression as stemming from “freedom”.

Reminds me of how war mongers renamed the War Department the Defense Department.

So much freedom in our time here in America, right? Image

We #ADOS did not cause the harm Japanese Americans experienced during internment, but we also didn’t get to opt out of paying for it.

Why?

Because the harm was caused by a country—- America— not an individual.

Harms caused by a country must be paid by that country. That means ALL taxpayers carry the responsibility.

No group gets to absolve themselves. You cannot opt out of a country’s debts because you or your parents emigrated here.

Don’t like being responsible for America’s debts? Catch a flight back to your homeland. You have options.

Panama or Jamaica? Which one way ticket should we book for you?

And Native Americans have received a variety of reparations, so why is this argument never brought up when discussing them?

Lastly, the majority of Blacks in this country are #ADOS. It’s not hard to figure out who we are because pre 1965, the number of Black immigrants in America was to the right of the decimal point.
Where’s the outrage? Image
It’s easy as pie to figure out who is #ADOS & who is a Black immigrant or their progeny

Thing is, America is set up in such a way that an entire country & its law enforcement apparatus are weaponized against #ADOS.

The individual white doesn’t need to hop on a horse, put on a hood, and terrorize us through random lynchings.

The system is efficient.
I rarely hear an #ADOS person say “OMG! White people are coming into our communities & beating on us!”

No, the complaint is that the system is set up for us to fail, & has been for generations.

White people can’t be this obtuse.
And when police are allowed to behave like this, whites don’t *NEED* to commit violence against Blacks in order to maintain a racialized bottom caste.

The system functions efficiently, to our detriment.

This is an unserious evasion, an empty platitude.

Y’all owe an explanation to the people who helped Gabe Piemonte at ur advisement: How did Piemonte raise more than the person who placed 2nd, while placing 11th?

Don’t use me 2 dodge accountability. Answer for it.
The real answer is that there never was any plan.

One day they are starting a military academy, the next day a political campaign, & the next day they’re fighting ADOS at OMB.

Scattered & unserious, a bundle of energy like kids on a playground
I’m not speaking to them. My questions are rhetorical because I know they refuse to be held accountable.

I want to be clear to anyone paying attention that there is no future in their “project”.

Theirs is merely the latest in a long line of cloned, vanity projects

The candidate who placed 2nd in Chicago’s 5th Ward Alderman race—Tina Hone—raised $40k.

The “Freedmen” candidate raised $56k & placed 10th out of 11.

Tina Hone: $40, 091 (🥈)

Gabriel Piemonte: $56, 402
The candidate who placed 3rd in the race—Renita Ward—also raised far less than “Freedmen” candidate Gabriel Piemonte:

Renita Ward: $23,283 🥉

Gabriel Piemonte: $56,402 (10th out of 11)
As a matter of fact, Wallace Goode placed 4th—ahead of Gabriel Piemonte who placed 10th— & raised ZERO dollars.

Goode: $0 (4th)

Gabriel Piemonte: $56,402 ($10th)

“Thind argued to the Supreme Court that he was Aryan, and thus White.”

Full stop.

And it must be nice to ascend to the second highest office in America at 100 years since this ruling

Slaves were freed in 1863, & American Descendants of Slavery still haven’t had a president twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
And Thind thought of himself as white because of how he was treated

There is hardly any commonality with Negroes here, and I wish Black academics would stop this nonsense
Thind came here in the 1920s and studied at Berkeley, while American Negroes were toiling on sharecropper farms and convict leasing camps.

Thind’s story is that of an affluent immigrant. It is not at all connected to the struggle of the American Negro.

From the Jewish community to Guam to the Japanese, reparations are paid for harm caused by a country.

It is the globally accepted method for redress.

Your political ignorance is a handicap in this discussion.

Go read 📚. Begin with “When Affirmative Action Was White”
Arguing against redress is the most ignorant position any Negro could possibly take. This is how I know y’all don’t read.
No other group begs Washington D.C. *NOT* to give them money. They lobby for subsidies & all varieties of capital.

Go read that omnibus bill I posted about earlier. It’s full of giveaways.
