The ADOS movement is something isn't it? It started to distinguish black descendants of slaves from foreign black people. I get it. There's some truth to the movement, such as foreign blacks wanting to jump on the struggle that ADOS endured and only wanting to unite when it's convenient for them (some nationalities more than others). That said, my critique of this movement comes is the same for most other "pro-black" movements. The minute you disagree with them about anything (it could be something as minor as the color of the sky), you are a "sell out." Like most movements of this sort, they get hijacked.
Where do you stand on this movement?
How do you feel about reparations?
Have you faced discrimination from Black immigrants as an ADOS individual?
Do you think that there's some legitimacy to this movement or do you feel that this is just another divide and conquer tactic?
Reparations are just plain stupid! None of us alive today had anything to do with a long ago past. Next the Ameridians will be seeking reparations for some supposed stolen land and the Mexicans for the same reasons. The past is over, wars were fought and lands have exchanged hands throughout history. Get over it!
Well I'm the descendant of a holocaust survivor, but do I think I deserve any type of reparations? HELL NO!!! I have no interest in pretending to be a victim so that I can leach off of society. Everybody that supports reparations should be ashamed of themselves.

It’s not about the “People” that the argument for reputations is made against, its tot he federal goverment. I do believe that if a case was brought against the Fedral goverment for turning a blind eye to Jim Crow laws that the plaintiff would win and the payout would be huge.
Again we are talking about Federally Sanctioned acts that directly targeted a subsection of the American population via race alone with ramifications to that very community today. You can imagine how large of a number we are talking here, literally 1865-1960’s.
Surely someone who claims to hate goverment tyranny would understand a argument that directly points to federal policy that allowed discrimination on race alone.
Not a fan of reparations. Person A should not be atoning for the sins of what their great-great-great-grandparents did to the great-great-great-grandparents of Person B. Also, with all the resources that non-White people have been given over the last 150 years, ADoS have gotten reparations of sorts.

Look forward to hearing from you.
There have been several threads recently about this. 'Indentured Servant' is probably the most notable pro-black poster on this forum. I'm sure he will pipe in his .02 on this.
Imo, the only reparations the govt should offer is a free one way ticket back to Liberia.
