Hating Somalis is cool again and for the old as fuck boomers out there:

What is ADOS?

Over the past several months the ADOS movement has entered the national dialogue. ADOS stands for the American Descendants of Slavery, and its raison d’être is to seek redress for the injustices visited upon black people who can trace their ancestry back to slaves on American soil. The movement has spread through Twitter and YouTube, and its major advocates are Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore. Carnell, according to her own website, is a Howard University graduate who served as a Congressional aide to Senator Barbara Boxer Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Berry. Moore is a practicing attorney in Los Angeles. Both Carnell and Moore have sizeable digital footprints with their channels “Breaking Brown” and “Tone Talks”, respectively. They have also created a website explaining the movement — “ADOS101”.

Two major claims underpin the movement. First, the movement “seeks to reclaim/restore the critical national character of the African American identity and experience”. This statement draws a line between people of sub-Saharan African descent who can trace their lineage to slave plantations in the United States, and other peoples of African lineage. The movement “sets out to shift the dialogue around the identity of what it is to be African American in an effort to move the discussion from melanin, and properly center the discussion around lineage.” Needless to say, this has caused controversy. It creates tension by challenging our current understandings of what it means to be African-American. Jamaican immigrants are not ADOS. Barack Obama is not ADOS. The movement has created a climate in which Kamala Harris — who is definitely not ADOS with her Jamaican and Southeast Asian heritage, must assert on The Breakfast Club:

“I am black and I am proud of it…I was born black and I’ll die black and I am proud of it. And I am not gonna make any excuses for it, for anybody, because they don’t understand.”


Kamala Harris isn't Black.

In all seriousness. These people have got to be some of the more racist fucks I've ever encountered. Everything, and I mean everything is about skin color with these people.
