@JustUsADOS @AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot In my humble opinion, there are some (few) who claim “FBA” because they don’t like the moniker “descendants of slavery”. But, they don’t understand the significance, connection and necessity in being explicit that we are owed reparations BECAUSE OF “slavery”... 1️⃣▶️

@AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot And, everything that followed on the timeline from slavery til now. But, these *few*, need to understand that “FBA” IS an “org” (that does nothing) except for dox people, speak recklessly about ADOS, Black immigrants, and other people who ARE doing the work. Tariq can *say* 2️⃣▶️

@AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot it’s not an “org”, but once he trademarked it, created some kind of “flag”, took money from thousands of people for a “conference”, and created some sort of weird and dangerous *allegiance* amongst those people... it’s an “org”. That does NO real work in furthering our cause.3️⃣▶️

@AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot So, those *few* who are doing some work (in Marlon’s case) need to pick a definitive side in name, and principle. Because, whatever work they are doing, needs to be within the continuity of the foundation and work of ADOS who IS an actual WORKING ORGANIZATION. As well as a 4️⃣▶️

@AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot DEFINED lineage. Those *few* are NOT actually helping, but are in the long run, harming the momentum and progress of those (ADOS) who ACTUALLY created and initiated the definitions, foundation and momentum for the reparations *movement* in the past few years.

Today I am ASHAMED of my people. The BACKBITING, BLATANT THEFT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, APPLAUSE AND SUPPORT GIVEN TO SAID THIEVES, THE CRABS IN THE BARREL MENTALITY AND BEHAVIORS... ALL OF IT!!!!!!! WHEN & WHERE do ETHICS & MORALITY come in? I’m also seeing A LOT OF SELF 1️⃣▶️

HATRED. Because YOU CAN’T love yourself, and LACK INTEGRITY. You CAN’T love yourself, and ALLOW yourselves to be used and swayed by DISINGENUOUS, FRAUDULENT, CALCULATING, MANIPULATIVE, THIEVING people. You WOULDN’T just stand by, or take part in UNSCRUPULOUS behavior. 2️⃣▶️

ESPECIALLY against people who THOUGHT ENOUGH OF YOU AND YOURS, who would CREATE something to BENEFIT YOU AND YOURS at THEIR EXPENSE. What WRONGS YOU are willing to do or allow to be done to others, is a DIRECT REFLECTION of how LITTLE YOU THINK OF YOURSELVES. It DOESN’T 3️⃣▶️

matter if you disagree with those people. It DOESN’T matter if YOU have decided for PERSONAL reasons that YOU no longer want to support or applaud those people. But, RIGHT IS RIGHT...and WRONG IS WRONG. And, YOU have to have enough SELF RESPECT to STAND ON THE SIDE OF RIGHT 4️⃣▶️

and CALL OUT THE WRONG. This is NOT about *liking* people, and joining *cliques*, or clubs. YOUR individual behavior AFFECTS THE ENTIRE COLLECTIVE. The MORE people who VALIDATE, PARTICIPATE, CONTRIBUTE, and PROMOTE the UNPRINCIPLED, IMMORAL, UNETHICAL, CALLOW BEHAVIORS of 5️⃣▶️
