Wow! These dissertations so enlightened me when it came to the existence of the different sects of Blackness whose existence I have, heretofore, been completely ignorant about!
Finding a niche with those whose opinions I share on many issues was exhilarating, leaving me, at age 92, astounded to learn of the actual existence of an official movement I could identify with in many areas of thought, like slave descendants having their own unique culture and immigrant Blacks being my personal idea of black carpetbaggers - and a cynicism about the pseudo African affectations of certain black zealots who make claim to everything African and attribute everything everywhere as beimg black in origin, citing skewed history as their source. Not to mention exposing the dysfunctional compensation that takes the form of a black male machismo that is laced with misogny and homophobia.
Still, I'm not totally captivated by the siren song of the ADOs, having never been an enthusiast of Reparations, and any taint of this group being "MAGA lite" inhibits my formal commitment to their doctrine.
My gut always instinctively recoils at any hint of Conservative right wing white supremacy.
In any case, at this stage of my existence, I don't have to make a decision or a choice about such matters, and I remain a spectator, ever aware of how Society evolves, inevitably subjected to the changes that Time brings - changes that I, in all probability, won't be around to witness... 😏
