First slaves did not land in 1632

My mistake... 1619 was the year the first documented slaves from Africa arrived... everyone before 1619 were natives...

Black people are native to this land and the caribbean prior to cristobol columbos conquest...

Taino, Arawak and Carib were all described and dark to reddish brown according to Europeans.

Mixing people up and reclassifying them as a nonexisting monolith of savagea because they're all different shades of brown is one of the earliest cases of documented fraud.

She join the board of a right wing anti-immigration group to convince them that citizenship matters. Brah, their whole aim is to be hostile to non citizens, and deny legal status to as many immigrants as possible. They know citizenship matters, that is why they try to deny it to as many non-white non affluent immigrants as possible.

Furthermore, she really thinks far right conservatives are gonna see African Americans as a priority because of their citizenship status These groups constantly brainstorm ways of stripping constitutional rights from black people.

Also, there are non-ADOS black citizens. I am one of them. My citizenship and contributions to America means little to her because I was not born here. It is not about citizenship status clearly. Her saying that just sounds like a dog whistle

She is full of ****ing **** on this issue, and now she is scrambling to defend and obvious ****ty move. She is better than this. Just apologize and move on.

Crazy how easy it still is for WS to infiltrate any Black organization/movement

This is where the line will be drawn. I will not be lectured by a 1st generation America born to black immigrants from Ghana about freedom, independence, and the history of blacks in America. money is in fact the path to freedom in a capitalistic society. Your black immigrant parents abandoned their roots in their homeland to move to a racist white country for what? to be educated by the white man, in hopes that the white man provides an opportunity to obtain some of the white mans money. we're all victims, difference is your parents choose this life for you. im born of strong blacks who didn't flee their own land and people to run to the oppressive white man's. lineage matters. I'm a descendant of fighters. thats why I'll never disrespect them. they suffered for me to have the right to vote, not for me to give it away with nothing promised in return.

deuce king ..... #tangibles2020. no black agenda, no vote

Yes, yes.

That's why many of them didn't migrate from the Deep South to the Northern states during Jim Crow. That's why a lot of them didn't move from the US to Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Why is Harriet Tubman celebrated again? Wasn't it for some network set up to help some folks FLEE southern plantations?

You stay throwing stones from a glass house. Hypocrite.

lol, now that you mention it I see how relocating to a different state within the same country because of lynching is nearly identical to abandoning your native people and denouncing your homeland in a black country on a black continent to cross the ocean to be a willing citizen underclass of a white supremaiscts nation.

Most of the so called blacks are the real natives to America. We were already here!!! Hence the Olmecs!

a physical examination is due because i'm sincerely concerned with your overall wellbeing considering all the fence-straddling you've been doing. Pick a side a stay. at least the ados know of the tactics of these black immigrants disguised as allies. You've contributed no thoughts of your own, just random observations of other as an attempt to sway dialogue.

Surprise, surprise. another NON ADOS with Carribean ancestry denouncing reparations for my people. His lineage exempts him that's why he is against the movement like so many of his ilk that post on niketalk. And look at the insidious, irresponsible wording. Once again there is nothing cointelpro-like or divisive about the descendants of slaves demanding what was promised to them by the United states gov't following the abolition of slavery

Do you know just how much money goes back to immigrants' native lands?

We came here for the opportunity to be educated and/or to exploit the knowledge we already acquired back home.

The Shadowy Network Shaping Trump’s Anti-Immigration Policies
Interconnected anti-immigrant organizations have long hidden behind neutral names while pushing nativist policies.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outl...olicies/?utm_term=.aa4c4938b905&noredirect=on

In Oregon, nativists placed a measure on the ballot to overturn a 31-year-old sanctuary policy, one that restricts the use of state and local resources to enforce federal immigration laws and protects community members from profiling based on their perceived immigration status. If it passes, the message to immigrant communities across the state will be clear: You are neither safe nor welcome here. What’s more, the message could resonate across the country, spurring repeal of similar policies elsewhere.

The debate over these “sanctuary” policies limiting cooperation between local law enforcement and immigration authorities often misconstrues what they actually do. Sanctuary laws like Oregon’s simply protectmembers of our communities, some long-standing, from racial profiling, detention and deportation. But anti-immigrant activists, emboldened by President Trump’s nativist rhetoric and policies, have branded these policies as dangerous to Americans, part of a multi-front attack on immigrant rights.

The group leading the battle to overturn Oregon’s sanctuary law — Oregonians for Immigration Reform (OFIR) — is supported by the country’s most powerful anti-immigrant organizations. But few people are aware that these groups don’t just lobby for greater enforcement of immigration laws. Instead, they have a widespread, radical agenda and are part of a shadowy network with deep ties to white-supremacist groups, built by the godfather of the anti-immigrant movement: John Tanton.

Tanton, a Michigan ophthalmologist, is the guiding force behind nearly all of America’s major anti-immigration groups. He launched the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) in 1979. He was initially motivated by an alarmed reaction to Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 bestseller, “The Population Bomb,” which linked population growth to environmental destruction and a weakening of national security.

Tanton embraced population control. His ideas built on eugenicist thinking, with aims to limit the birthrate of people deemed undesirable. His innovation was to focus on stabilizing the American population by severely limiting immigration.

The limits he sought were about more than population size, however.

Since immigration reforms in 1965 ended an explicitly racist quota system, immigrants to the United States increasingly came from Latin American and Asian countries rather than Europe. Tanton believed that cultural difference meant people from these regions lacked the “conservation ethic” that (white) Americans had.

He argued that immigrants coming from outside Western and Northern Europe had higher birthrates than white native-born Americans and were therefore to blame for destructive population growth. In a1986 memo, Tanton joked about Latin American fertility rates: “Those with their pants up are going to get caught by those with their pants down!” Elsewhere he wrote: “As Whites see their power and control over their lives declining, will they simply go quietly into the night? Or will there be an explosion?”

Tanton understood that tapping into white resentment against newcomers was a powerful way to build support for restricting immigration. FAIR attracted $1.2 million in funding from the eugenicist foundation the Pioneer Fund. Cultural issues also attracted more energy and support from the grass roots than environmentalism or even economic issues. The resettlement of Vietnamese refugees in the late 1970s and arrival of asylum seekers from Central America and Haiti in the 1980s exposed and fueled strong anti-refugee sentiment and unabashed racism.

But focusing on demographics and culture was also “dangerous territory” for FAIR — Tanton wanted to avoid the taint of the “unsavory” early-20th-century immigration-restriction efforts. He aimed to position his push as a “new type of reform effort,” one devoid of xenophobia.

So in 1983, he decided to have it both ways. He created a separate organization, U.S. English, to advocate for “official English” policies at the state level. The new group could push this controversial position without damaging FAIR. Tanton’s hunch about white resentment proved correct: A direct-mail campaign focused on official English returned many more donations than FAIR had managed to get to that point.

Spinning off different organizations became a key strategy for Tanton. He created a funding organization that seeded different groups to fight his battle to dramatically curtail legal immigration and remove millions of undocumented immigrants from the country.

In 1985, he helped found the academic-sounding Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) to publish research that would seem independent, impartial and disconnected from advocacy groups like FAIR. In 1987, FAIR launched a litigation arm to work through the courts. In the mid-1990s, Tanton associate Roy Beck started NumbersUSA, a group that channeled populist anger into faxes sent to policymakers.

Suddenly there were multiple, seemingly independent organizations to push extreme positions into the political debate and media coverage. These groups advanced different arguments about immigrants, testing different messages and tactics. The existence of so many organizations — even if they were quietly interconnected — helped make their ideas and policy preferences appear widely held.

Tanton also worked at the state and local level. In the 1980s, U.S. English worked to get official English policies passed in Arizona, Colorado and Florida. In 1994, Tanton helped fund the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, a co-sponsor of California’s Proposition 187, which would have limited immigrants’ access to schools and other public services.

Tanton’s groups often framed their policy prescriptions as common sense, but this cloaked ties to more sinister white-nationalist organizations. In fact, some of Tanton’s projects helped incubate white-nationalist and anti-immigrant ideas. He founded the Social Contract Press in 1990 to publish a regular journal and books such as the English-language edition of the racist French novel “The Camp of the Saints” that inspired Steve Bannon. Since 1985, Tanton’s umbrella operation has hosted a writers’ workshop featuring nativists such as Peter Brimelow, who founded the white-nationalist website VDARE, and Ann Coulter.

Though cloaked in sober-sounding rhetoric, the policies that Tanton’s groups advocated were quite extreme: mass deportations of longtime residents, significant cuts to legal immigration and an end to birthright citizenship. In a 1995 USA Today op-ed, Dan Stein, FAIR’s president, even argued that “we don’t need immigrants” at all.

Over the years, many have highlighted Tanton’s role in creating a nativist, eugenicist anti-immigration network. A 2011 New York Times profile observed that FAIR’s annual gathering featured militant talk and conspiracy theories about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. In 1997, even conservative pundit Tucker Carlson warned that his fellow conservatives would regret making common cause with the groups because of their extremism and nativism.

Yet, over the past two decades, these groups have only gained influence. Today, Carlson now welcomes Stein and other FAIR staffers on his shows, amplifying their influence.

Even non-sympathetic news outlets have unwittingly helped sanitize and spread the messages of these groups. They quote groups like the banal-sounding Center for Immigration Studies as if they are reasonable counterweights to immigrant rights groups, rather than anti-immigrant hate groups.

This has allowed these groups to shift the terms of the debate far to the right. Without proper context, readers and viewers don’t understand how outside the mainstream these groups’ views really are. Three-quarters of the public thinks immigration is a good thing for the country, and over 80 percent favor a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. But anti-immigrant groups, aided by allies in the media, successfully crushed even modest, bipartisan compromises on immigration in 2007 and 2013.

Now Trump has pulled former staffers from Tanton’s groups into positions of power, where they are making FAIR and CIS policy priorities a reality, from cutting refugee admissions to historic lows to increasing deportations to targeting immigrants who use any public benefits.

At the state level, local spinoffs push the same agenda.

Oregon’s OFIR, which has deep ties to FAIR and its legal arm, gathered the signatures that put the anti-sanctuary measure on the ballot. OFIR has learned that emotional appeals to fear and racial resentment can be galvanizing: In 2014, the group successfully pushed through a different ballot initiative that prevented immigrant Oregonians from getting legal driver’s cards.

OFIR framed this initiative — and its current push — as public safety measures. But OFIR’s president has revealed the group’s true intent, declaring immigrants represent “an organized assault on our culture.” Her words echo a 1993 letter in which Tanton declared, “For European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority, and a clear one at that.”

While the powerful anti-immigrant organizations rarely frame their demands in explicitly racial terms, the policies they work to advance target nonwhite people and frame immigrants not as future Americans but as an invasion.

As the Migration Policy Institute has found, communities have been able to limit or slow Trump’s aggressive deportation machinery through the use of sanctuary policies, know-your-rights trainings and community resistance. In Oregon, a broad coalition is fighting OFIR’s initiatives. It is community efforts like these that will actually keep our country safer for all its residents, not the bigoted sophistry of John Tanton and his allies.

Once again there is nothing cointelpro-like or divisive about the descendants of slaves demanding what was promised to them by the United states gov't following the abolition of slavery

The thing about slavery is all black countries went through slavery. Jamaica , DR/Haiti , trinidad, guyana, etc... our slavery dealt with the British and rhe french but still answered to the queen and the vatican of rome. All of these caribbean islands gained independence around the same time in the 50s 60s... independent from who or what??? From the law of the monarchy which oversaw the entire extermination of our culture through the western hemisphere.

People in the caribbean don't have the memory to recall the times of slavery because it wasn't as prominent but they did suffer just as much as their north American and south American counterparts. Dividing us and telling us that we are different keeps our fight amongst each other and not directed at the ones who must pay for their crimes against black humanity.

The people of Africa do not share our views simply because they did nit go through systematic slavery outside of South Africa. Africans have a great deal of pride because of this and they also have their own issues of infighting and colorism etc... we as black people must unite under one umbrella in order to make it through the rain

More like ADOS is the Salvation Army champ, going off of worn-out broken down teachings that has you at a loss. Unfortunately you dudes don’t know how to deal with this crisis now that you found out that your ADOS leadership has been discovered as FRAUDS.

Instead of just admitting your are wrong, you would rather double down on your lies and ask others to follow you in your attempt to prop up white supremacy. You better not be rocking a MAGA hat around PG brotha........if I can call you that, brotha.

 

[largofool]

We came here for the opportunity to be educated and/or to exploit the knowledge we already acquired back home.

You stay in your delusions of superiority and leave my name outta your fingers.

Pretty sure the State Department made me take an oath denouncing all loyalty to any foreign country, and pledge complete loyalty to the United States even to the point of promising to go to war for them.

I swear some dudes operate under the conservative frame that immigrants are just here to leech.

And ADOS that's why we must remain vigilant. These black immigrants are admittedly for self but cry divisiveness and allude to the right wing when we organize and put our own interest first by demanding we be given what's rightfully ours.

They preach unity, and speak on the ills of the black community, comfortably lecturing that the financially illiterate ADOS don't deserve cash, lest they'll just turn around trick it of to the racist white man.
They practice unity by assimilating with ADOS, only to neglect the community abroad, siphoning resources and shipping them back to the native land they denounced willingly for citizenship of a racist, white county.

ADOS just wants the white man's hand outs and are chasing a bag they say. But ask them why they left their black country/continent of birth. For the racists white man's money and miseducation. So its of no surprise that their position on reparations are, in general, a reflection of society's.

so don't let them guilt you into casting a vote for a democratic nominee with no black agenda, pushing DACA.

You are an reactionary uninformed bigot that is using this movement as a vehicle to spew xenophobia. Dudes like you and the buffoonery of you engage take away from an important goal.

I have stopped addressing you, so please return the favor.

Dude thinks he's slick tryna paint it as if only immigrants disagree

nah doggie any black man with a brain can see your full of **** and are using what should be a positive convo and movement as an opportunity to spew hate towards immigrants

I love how he is so drunk on xenophobia he can't decide if he should slander immigrants as traitors to their homeland, or as imposters raiding America for resources to send back to their birth countries.

Either way, dude is clearly a bigoted jack *** so I really don't care anymore what nonsense spews in an attempt to smear immigrants.

A circle jerk of back immigrants who perpetually stereotype ados demanding reparations as victims, shockingly hurling insults, and conveniently portraying a victims taking the highroad when you highlight their whitewashed statements in a thread title ados
