Everyone needs to get clear on 1 thing: #ADOS isn’t the problem. We aren’t the problem. We’re not the cause of these disagreements.
Reparations SPECIFICALLY for #ADOS, as opposed to the road to nowhere “Black liberation” model, is the cause of the controversy & attacks. The End.

Everyone supports reparations so long as it’s just theoretical (Coates) or unserious (NCOBRA).
But when the grassroots make a specific demand? Backed by data? And push it relentlessly? Then all hell breaks loose.

in the racial justice arena.
You don’t get the racial justice bag by *solving* the problems of #ADOS, you make money by explaining them .... & offering solutions that, at best, only slightly improve our lives.
