I think the jealousy comes from our overcoming, perseverance. Honestly, who would expect the descendants of the slaves you sold to Europeans to end up living among those Europeans, inside the country you’re dying to emigrate to? And who would expect ADOS to become not only…
“This scheme unconstitutionally discriminates against anyone who does not identify as Black or African American," Fitton said. If the Evanston experiment is ruled unconstitutional, will the writers who lauded this “historic” moment unpack its failure? patch.com/illinois/evans…
The looming fight is over whether descendants of slaves is race based. It’s not. It’s lineage based. But the idea of redress based on just being Black has zero legal standing & shouldn’t be discussed amongst serious activists.

Sure. A thread

Why is disaggregated race data important? “Data on the race and ethnicity of populations gathered by state and federal public agencies and other stakeholders help to direct billions of dollars in funding every year to local communities.” #ADOS buff.ly/3UG4WLK
On this day in 1967, Muhammad Ali was stripped of his heavyweight boxing championship after refusing to be inducted into the U.S. Army. Here's a video on why he refused to be drafted into the army to go to Vietnam.
It is a testament to incompetent political & business leadership that “bootstrapism” and notions of “do for self” are still a part of how we define solutions for #ADOS uplift.
MLK on the myth of the bootstrap philosophy and the debt that's owed to Black Americans. #Reparations
🚨Our official statement on today’s OMB decision. Please read 🚨
Today's OMB decision is disappointing. While other groups' data will be disaggregated moving forward, the Bureau called for "more study” on whether ADOS have that same right to see our unique lived experience borne out in detail. Read our statement: buff.ly/4cxNstb
Don’t let Boomers tell you about their high interest in 1975. That was an historical outlier period looking over hundreds of years and their assets were deflated compared to today. High interest against a $60k home 🏠 or a $5k car in 1975 is not high interest against a $500k…
I said this 2013 “Rise of Legacy” @HuffPost We’re here. Your Baby Boomer either transfers wealth to you or you struggle. Income is taxed too highly to offset & the wealth transfers are too large. 💰🤫 “Millennials set to get $90 trillion wealth transfer” finance.yahoo.com/news/millennia…
Yvette wrote this 14 years ago and both of us took the daggers because people like Hannah-Jones were confused. As Hannah-Jones clearly showed in her response to us anchoring this very #ados concept with Kamala Harris in January of 2019. “Obama's Achilles Heel: He's Not…
This is a teachable moment on how mov’t leaders/activists get erased from their projects Ppl helicopter in, then the real activists are out. Saw it in Ferguson etc That’s the real reason I’m always concerned w/who gets credit. B/c giving credit where it’s due *is* about justice
Chicago is about to be the epicenter of Reparations. I see it
Black immigrants weren’t here until after the Immigration Act of 1965 To understand how recent that is, it’s the year my sister was born We are comparing this group to folks whose ancestors built the wealthiest country in the world?! starting in 1619?! It’s insane.
I’m featured in this podcast, & so is someone from N’COBRA, & as usual, N’COBRA is breathtakingly imbecilic in its reparations framing. N’COBRA’s clumsily making the case that Black immigrants have suffered under America’s economic system & are, therefore, owed reparations.…
“Ghana's right to return resettlement plans fuels resentment with locals” I was unable to do this show on Thursday because Crowdcast was down, but now I’m glad bc apparently, there’s an update to the Dec 2023 story 😏 npr.org/2024/02/25/122…
Condoleezza Rice said she grew n a family n Birmingham Ala, before the civil rights movement where she was taught not to depend on whites 2 take care of her. She has it backwards, from slavery, 2 sharecroppers and domestic service, black people have been taking care of white folk
