On Real Issues.

I reject the ADOS movement 100 percent, because it limits black liberation, and many of its members are hostile to black immigrants (who helped African Americans for years. For example, Shirley Chisholm fought for African Americans, and Kool Herc invented hip hop. ADOS is filled with xenophobic, lying rhetoric). I believe in Pan African unity and Pan-Africanism. There is a recent story of a minister named Mark Thompson who had a confrontation with another person (who calls himself Afrika). This person called Thompson slurs, and that person was wrong. Later, Thompson put hands on that person. I don't believe in putting hands on that person, but I understand why Thompson was angry. Mark Thompson experienced verbal abuse and was blocked in trying to walk away by one disrespectful person (who calls himself Afrika, who has a known history of using profane language to try to provoke people into confrontations. That guy Afrika is a coward). A sister named Nkechi Taifa is a witness who saw Afrika throw Mark Thompson's producer to the ground. On the Internet, I saw the video of Afrika throwing the man to the grown violently. So, Afrika is a violent person. Thompson was in error by putting hands on that person. We have every right to express disagreements without unjust violence. This person Afrika isn't part of the ADOS, but ADOS members are exploiting this incident as an excuse to slander Mark Thompson's character. For years, Mark Thompson has advocated for reparations and black liberation long before the ADOS was born. Many ADOS propagandists are harassing and slandering real black activists like Dr. Jared Ball, Professor Carr, and other Brothers and Sisters. I'm not intimidated by any ADOS deceiver since all black people worldwide should be free not just black people in America. I am a descendant of black Africans. My family tree didn't start with slavery.

The problem with the ADOS is that it's limited in scope. It offers no revolutionary solutions for the liberation of black people internationally. It totally ignores the problem of imperialism and ecological disasters. It promotes an agenda of division among black people based upon colonial-imposed entities like nationality. Regardless of my personal views of the ADOS (I think that the ADOS is fraudulent movement), I don't believe that every ADOS person is a Trump supporter or a Russian bot. The ADOS is composed of sexists like Tariq Nasheed, allies of Tanton (who funds Carnell's group of the PFIR. Tanton is a white supremacist) like Yvette Carnell, and an ex-writer for Newsmax like Antonio Moore (who disrespected Sister Lupita). That hypocrite Tariq Nasheed disrespected Roland Martin because some of his ancestors came from Haitian, but he featured Haitians in his 1804 documentary. Nasheed should apologize to Haitians period. By their fruits, you shall know them. The fruit of ADOS is hatred, tensions, xenophobia, anti-African rhetoric, and divisiveness.

Yvette Carnell agrees with Trump on hating birthright citizenship, calls Trump Presidential involving a speech, minimizes Russian interference in the election, and follows extreme anti-immigrant policies. Also, many of my ancestors were black Americans slaves. That doesn't mean that I have a superiority complex though. We deserve reparations, but reparations alone isn't going to cut it. We need fundamental, structural change. All black people worldwide are deserving of freedom and justice.

Yesterday, there was a discussion among Zarlena Maxwell, Andrew Sullivan, and other people in Chris Matthews' Hardball show. Sullivan blasted Malcolm Nance as a hack and believing in conspiratorial views. The truth is that Nance is hawkish, and I don't agree with him on some issues. Yet, he isn't some hack, and Nance is right that Russian intelligence has been complicit in nefarious actions. Andrew Sullivan claims to be a centrist, but made the xenophobic remark that we must choose between mass immigration or democracy. The reality is that mass immigration brings taxes, cultural development, and diversity in American society. These great immigrants exist in every color and of every background. In other words, black immigrants exist too. I respect a black immigrant in favor of black liberation over Jesse Lee Peterson (who was born in America. I don't respect Jesse Lee Peterson at all). The reality is that democracy is enhanced by democracy. Suppressing immigrant rights harms democracy. Also, migrants are coming into Europe because Western elites have used policies against the global South (and Middle Eastern nations) that have devastated those territories for decades and centuries.

That devastation is causing migration into Europe. Sullivan loves to scapegoat immigrants when he ignores how Western imperialism and economic exploitation contributes to economic destabilization. Sullivan talking over people is typical of an extremist like him. Sullivan agreed with the unjust invasion of Iraq which started back in 2003. He praised the racist book called the Bell Curve. He hypocritically claims to want less government intervention, but agrees with the existence of Social Security. Sullivan's behavior is not shocking. The silence of Matthews is surprising since he knows Nance. Not to mention that Zarlena Maxwell refuted Sullivan's charges. Maxwell has been very cordial and strong. Sullivan defends Tony Blair, who is complicit in the Iraq War disaster. Centrism doesn't work as history teaches us. Centrism believes in the myth that piecemeal actions are enough to make thorough change. The truth is that real change must be comprehensive and power must extent to all of the people ASAP, not just to the 1 percent. Centrism extends suffering among the oppressed. Dr. King and especially Malcolm X weren't centrists. Both men opposed the Vietnam War, critiqued capitalism, organized movements, and wanted international change. They promoted revolutionary solutions to complex problems.
