1.) Attention fence sitters! ADOS is not one in the same with FBA. The reasons are listed below:

1. Lineage is the foundation of the ADOS movement in our fight for reparations
2. Lineage is not something that you can spray tan, liposuction, or crimp iron your way into

3. Lineage is based on history, blood ties, and heritage
4. Being B1 is the antithesis of what ADOS is about
5. Although being Black is an important factor of being ADOS, the concept of "Blackness" has been used as a buffer to invalidate our experiences in this country

6. Through the one-drop rule and Black immigrant ascension in political, academic and media spaces; skin color has been used as a tool to cover up the true condition of ADOS in this country
7. Blackness is used as a hazing process on the road to access Whiteness in America

8. We are the only ones who are permanently anchored to "Blackness" and its consequences because we are descended from the slaves who built this country
9. ADOS is owed a debt. Not all Black people
10. Race is a social construct that can be co-opted, appropriated, and hijacked

11. In dismantling "Whiteness" in America, you must also destroy their concept (which they created) of what it means to be "Black" as well
