I guess my next question is what steps will be taken to verify who’s ADOS and who’s non-ADOS? Are we going to just start asking for every black persons genealogy records? If so, it would reveal that some ADOS really aren’t as ADOS as they thought.

Remember Family Guy where Peter finds out he has a black ancestor? Make the descendents of slave owners pay the descendents of slaves. My ancestors were northern Abolitionists and Huguenots.
The reality is that we have always been getting reparations since the 60s, and it's despicable that these other "people of color" groups get the benefits that were originally intended for us. They didn't fight the civil rights movement. They wanted nothing to do with it. But now they are reaping the benefits.
No new forms of reparations are needed. If anything, the ADOS label should be used to restrict the benefits of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to ADOS - cut everybody else out. There's no reason that a Cuban, a Mexican, or a black foreigner should be getting minority business grants.

Well, some Latinos are White/Caucasian and some have a skin tone that would put them, from a racial standpoint, as being Black or even indigenous.
Disagree with reparations. You would need to prove who descended from slaves here, and who had family that lived here and owned slaves.
Can't just make all white people pay black people. My family came here in 1912. No slavery then. So i would object.
Frankly reparations are BS. No one alive here was a slave or a child of a slave.
Just more liberal wealth theft.

Most of these other ethnic groups have their own organizations for business grants, scholarships, etc. I’d be willing to bet the percentage of those reaping the benefit of things such as UNCF is relatively low.
Yeah Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently stated that "Latinos", the fake minority group, need to get reparations too. She justifies this by inventing some convoluted narrative of discrimination that never happened to people of Spanish origin.
"Latinos" conned their way to becoming Affirmative Action beneficiaries in the 1970s (they make a mockery of it). If blacks ever got reparations, the hispanic group would doubtless scam someway to get reparations too.
It's best to get rid of all minority entitlements.
I would ask Alexandria why she’s not reaching out to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, LCLAA, or LULAC. Even the Hispanic Congressional Caucus is available.
At one time. Black Americans, Caribbeans, Afro Latinos and Africans got along real well. The problem is economic resources and tools that are available. The tools that were supposed to uplift African Americans which was given to by the government in the 1960s was easily used by black immigrant and their descendants to exit poverty within one generation or less. For reparations for example. It should not be monetary give backs, but to allow black Americans only low tax rate on homes which that tax rate are frozen, no high interest rates on college loans. Every Civil Service exam black Americans receive an automatic 10 points. SAT exam for example, if one is an African American receives 150 points for writing, 150 points for math and 100 points for reading. A total of 500 points.

Testing standards are already lower for URM's than for white people and in my opinion, it sets them up to fail once they're on the job or in the school.
As for low tax rates on homes - I'm assuming you mean property taxes? That's a guarantee that the schools in black communities will be even worse than they are today.
