There’s a growing debate on the origins of #HipHop . 🧐 Well, we'd like 2 pay homage 2 legendary #ADOS “R&B group” The Jubalaires. #TheJubalaires are “remembered 4 rhythmic rhyming verses, which would later evolve to rapping.” Hip Hop wasn’t created yet -- this was 1947... 😏

The Ethiopian PM chose to traffic in racist stereotypes about #ADOS , calling us lazy & uneducated. We choose to remember Black American giant, John C. Robinson, who risked his life to train & command the Ethiopian Air Force in WW2 against fascist Italy.

#CrimsonSmear ⛏️Tools of White Supremacy 👀 Look at the optics! The editors & authors of the Harvard Disinformation Creep essay are mostly women & people of color! They were sent to mischaracterize, slander & promote a stifling agenda against #ADOS political advocacy. 🧰 #ADOSAF

Happy Father’s Day to all the #ADOS dads across the U.S., with a special salute to those who are incarcerated and can’t be with their children today. 🖤

There's More Than One Family Separation Crisis In America

Media is focusing on immigrant kids separated from parents, but black kids have been facing a similar crisis for decades thanks to parental incarceration.

The most invisible person in American society today is the ADOS person holding down a full time job (or two, while often furthering their education) and STILL not coming close to accessing the American dream. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not? #ADOSLife #ADOSAF

They were happy to let us spend our money with them. It became a problem when we tried to sit down in the same restaurant. Nowadays they're happy to let us vote. But when we try to get meaningful policy for that vote, the reaction is much the same. #CrimsonSmear #PoisonIvy #ADOS
