So called "ADOS" and "FBA" are merely anti-PanAfricanist disinformation groups that poorly hide that agenda behind the reparations movement (which was started by PANAFRICANISTS). No one should be surprised if it is discovered that they are cointelpro-style government ops.

The 'diaspora wars' are an artificially created conflict no doubt devised by US counter-insurgency to foment divide & rule amongst African ascendant peoples. Anyone advocating for division from other African people is an agent of US state imperialism whether they know it or not.

Sadly,the average African born in America doesn't have a rudimentary understanding of geopolitics,let alone the specificity of AFRICAN geopolitics.Miseducation has lead them to believe that the outcomes from US settler state partisan politics is the final word on their destinies.

Thousands of pages documenting slavery found in attic of Eastern Shore house. About 2,000 pages dating from the late 1600s to early 1800s were found in a plastic trash bag in the attic of a 200-year-old house near Chestertown, Md.,

Let's not allow the Euro-Western white status quo narratives about honored ancestor #WinnieMandela to become canonical. Mama Winnie was a REVOLUTIONARY who maintained her revolutionary principles until her dying day. She was much more than an "activist."

@craigspoplife @nelsongeorge No surprises here. Every time the Rolling Stone does one of their top 100 lists they prove that they're just propagandists for cultural colonialism.

@RenyTure These so-called "ADOS/FBA" clowns are textbook overseers keepin' the plantation/matrix in dominance. They're allergic to historically substantiated fact and stay takin' blue pills every morning like vitamins.

Apparently the application of the intersectional calculus stops anywhere potentially heterosexual Black men are found. This is just more evidence of BLM’s anti-Black misandry. The use of Black male death and the valorization of Black men’s lives are two different things.

@BrannuSunyata @CrinkleSpeaks Most shocking thing is that the "therapist" thought she could deploy those dehumanizing stereotypes on social media for all to see with impunity. No fear about her professional image at all because she's obviously said those things in an echo chamber that accepted them AS TRUTH.

@xspotsdamark NOT true that our continental brothas & sistas do not want us to wear African attire.Until I went to visit the continent and buy my own, most of my African attire was gifted to me in the US by Yoruba and other Nigerian brothas. If they don't like YOU, it's something YOU'RE doing.

@TorraineWalker It has been brotha. That’s historically substantiated FACT. Not even including Black folks I know personally who collaborate with Africans and don’t make the news. I’ve been to Brazil several times (1st time in 1988) Haiti (2001), Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria (this year).

I got a feeling that when #Andre3000 drops his flute album tomorrow a lot of folks will go out and (re)discover Eric Dolphy, Bobbi Humphrey, @CharlesLloydSax @JohnColtrane Nicole Mitchell, James Newton, Hubert Laws and others...and that's a good thing.

@wkamaubell It is more accurately a white problem. South Africa, Australia ... pick a spot, they've been assaulting black people like this for centuries. These sociopaths called "police" sexually assaulted that woman in public.

These Black folks claiming to be “native American” say so much about their delusions when they take their cues from a man who is clearly mentally ill. Kanye sics security on a Sista while placating the snow bunny.

@Dr_House_Music @Gadash78 Your response is to provide information from the thief that has been robbing Africa for over half a century. Eisenhower called for the assassination of Patrice Lumumba in order for the US to STEAL from the largest deposits of Uranium in the world.

This is probably an unpopular opinion (especially with my Oakland folks) but I don’t think that a brotha who made his career calling Black women by slurs and romanticizing sex trafficking should have a street named after him in a city where sex trafficking has ruined many lives.
