Be careful of our desperation for people to hear our stories, history, and our lived experiences. Everyone in America 🇺🇸 is comfortable in speaking about ADOS people and our horrific history. They tell our stories so frequently and with such passion that Black Americans become caricatures instead of real people, Americans, who are deserving of more than another documentary, another book, another useless study, another highly paid commission chaired by majority non-ADOS. Everyone will speak specifically about what we endure as a race and optimistically

Do you know what's exactly like being a Black person? Being a Black person. Being handicapped doesn't make you Black. Being a woman doesn't make you Black. Being gay doesn't make you Black. Being trans doesn't make you Black. Being a non-White doesn't make you Black. Liking Black culture doesn't make you Black. Growing up in the hood doesn't make you Black. Being African doesn't make you Black. Having sex with Black people doesn't make you Black. Being married to Black people doesn't make you Black. Having adopted Black children doesn't make you Black.

Did you know that if you serve in the Armed Forces and are injured you will be eligible for different compensation dependent upon what branch, tour of duty (years), and location, and “specific” harm you incurred from your service? How is it when we speak of our “sacred” Reparations justice claim are we supposed to entertain arguments from people who state, “we we’re just separated by a drop off,” or did not suffer through historical oppression, or are not descended from Chattel Slavery?

@PressSec @K_JeanPierre @KJP46
I wanted to let you know you did an abysmal job in speaking about the Buffalo massacre.
Jean-Pierre honors Buffalo victims at first White House briefing axios.com/2022/05/16/jea… @PressSec You horribly elided over key aspects of why the victims were selected. It was disgraceful and dishonoring to the victims, their families and the Black American community at large.

@JelonAlexander It would appear that poverty and systemic Anti Blackness are the cause of cancer that afflicts "the Black community."
It's shameful that so many in our community slander Black American advocacy that is so desperately needed for our communities.

Black people are at the highest risk for cancer death even though White people have the highest rate of new cancers. This increased mortality risk partly reflects a later stage of disease at diagnosis among Black patients,

"The attempt...to negate the history and legacy of racial slavery in the United States ...exaggerated, weaponised and decontextualised “Irish were slaves, too” victimhood narrative."
developmenteducation.ie/feature/were-i… "James Woods, an actor, and far-right political activist, used a similar variation of the "Irish were the first slaves" meme. He shared the meme with his 2.1 million followers to deny or mock reparations for slavery."

In his 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler described how, in his youth, he wanted to become a professional artist, but his dreams were ruined because he failed the entrance exam of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

Hitler was rejected twice by the institute, once in 1907 and again in 1908. His “opus” then became the extermination of a race of people. Mediocrity and its exposure can foster festering anger. Incels' failure to attract a partner, Transwomen’s desire to supplant women.

The number one reason I love Yvette is that she educates ADOS CONSTANTLY about our socioeconomic status and the ways it effects ADOS. We have a “platform” from which to analyze the “truth” which is comprised of facts and data. Successful bootstrappers are one-off’s in our ethnicity and I can’t think of one who didn’t spawn from the collective (sports, entertainment) and segued into other modes of business. They aren’t organic entrepreneurs. We don’t have any billionaires who’ve created novel products.

Several years ago, in a sociology class, my classmates labored to explain to our White male professor why we’re not interested in creating social bonds with our fellow co-workers. A Mexican student finally exasperated beyond all reason

broke the down all of the petty micro aggressions and blatant racism and disrespect non-Whites endure daily. He was genuinely surprised. The African students and the Asian students said the “exact” same things. Now here’s the clincher, a White European female also agreed

A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa (/ˈroʊzə/),[1] in the family Rosaceae (/roʊˈzeɪsiːˌiː/),[1] or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa.

An African person cannot speak on ADOS history, advocacy, or culture. ADOS people’s unique political position isn’t interchangeable because of “marginalization.” Our governmental systems and institutions are fundamentally ran on Confederate principles. We are rendered nonhuman. Reconstruction did not simply “fail,” it was annihilated and Black Codes along with Jim Crow ensured our economic and social progress would be cemented outside of America’s prescribed democracy. The substitution of Africans from the Diaspora into our political systems is a

Did you know that out of all the emotions that destroy human interaction, contempt is one from which a relationship may never fully recover once formed. The United States holds ADOS’ humanity in full contempt. This is how WS is so concretely established. And settled as law. “Contempt is an attitude towards individuals, social groups and eventually ideologies, which involves disgust and anger while generally triggering maladaptive behaviours.[1] However other authors define contempt as a negative emotion. …”

NAARC should be excluded from all Reparations conversations. I've cut out important wording:
reparationscomm.org/naarc-news/pre… NAARC has formulated a 10-Point Reparations Program modeled after the CARICOM Reparations Commission’s 10 Point Program to serve as a frame of reference and guide for the growing discourse on reparations in the U.S.

An analysis of national Dept. of Ed. 2015-16 civil rights data by the Ntl. Women’s Law Center (NWLC) and The Ed. Trust found that Black girls are 5 times more likely than White girls to be suspended at least once and 4 times as likely as White girls to be arrested at school.

In a recent story, the New York Times reported that Black boys are more likely to be suspended than Black girls, but the racial disparities are often greater for girls. And girls experience an additional layer of bias based on their gender.

Year’s ago, one of my VP’s was corrected by a snarky VP that he was mispronouncing my name. He asked me why I didn’t correct him. I said because my paycheck is deposited in the correct account - the bank recognizes my legal recognized name irrespective of pronunciation. I need you to understand this - my “name,” and thus identity were synonymous for all legal matters. There are 1000s of people with my name, it’s quite common in Hispanic/Latine communities. However, my identity: birthdate, SSN, and personal HISTORY differentiate me.
