@richardmurray, as you have pointed out several times, Black folks are not a monolithic group of people. There are many Black tribes. The FBA/ADOS tribe has a responsibility to never allow slavery to be forgotten. FBA/ADOS have a responsibility to make America atone for the original sin and collect on the debt (reparations). There is no shortage of obstacles and voices of opposition including other Black tribes. Whether those Black tribes are made up of affluent people who were never enslaved, immigrants or disenfranchised folks, etc., FBA/ADOS cannot allow them to be an impediment to us putting in the work and standing on business. IMO, FBA/ADOS need to do a better job of closing ranks. We cannot build alliances with and/or depend on other groups of people to ride with us. Again, that goes for other Black tribes too. Black immigrants do not share our history or perspective in relation to America. To them, America is the land of opportunity. It is that beacon on a hill that dwarfs the home countries they left behind. Same goes for other non-white people. So, I cannot fault or blame those people for leaving their home countries. I only ask that they stay out of the way and keep their mouths shut when it comes to FBA/ADOS. As Dr. John Henrik Clarke said of FBA/ADOS people, "we have no friends". FBA/ADOS have to keep that in mind as we continue in fighting against the system of racism white supremacy.😎

Of course being modest, it would be foolish to throw my 10 around on a public forum.🤣😎
