In the 231st episode of #FlipDaScript, the Duo sits down with ADOS co-founder and President of the ADOS Advocacy Foundation. They touch on numerous topics, including reparations, Marcus Garvey, her childhood, and how ADOS started. In this clip, Yvette says she's tired of people wanting her to be just African, shes an American and she explain how she & other ADOS are an Amalgamation.

I don't claim these acronyms, but I get what she's saying. The way I look at it is this, if it's wrong for Black Americans to simply consider ourselves our own ethnicity then it has to be wrong for Jamaicans to claim Jamaica or Haitians to claim Haiti, Bermudans to claim Bermuda, etc. Those Caribbean countries should mean nothing to them, they should just claim Africa. If they want to keep claiming their Caribbean, Afro Latino heritages then no one should be questioning our strictly claiming our Black American identity.

[@dboi4952]

The difference is those are actually nations in and of themselves, while black Americans are in a nation that's not their own. But what else can black Americans call themselves? 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@RebelWithoutABoss]

@@dboi4952 We call ourselves Black Americans. Why aren't those Caribbean countries calling themselves New Senegal, New Ghana, etc? Seems like they've accepted they have their own separate identity from Africa and their own culture separate from Africa, why is it only wrong when Black Americans do this? It's even easier for these Caribbean nations to take on more African identities, because they can change the names of their nations. Why isn't the Bahamas called Little Igbo? You don't need your own separate country to have your own ethnic identity, Kurds, Palestinians, Rohingyans, Romanis don't have their own separate ethnic majority nations, neither do most African ethnicities. Black Latinos largely don't have their own nations either, the closest you may can say are Dominicans, but apparently most don't see themselves as black. So why aren't Afro Latinos just calling themselves African?

@@RebelWithoutABoss If you start to know more Africans from their own countries, and the differences in views and beliefs and history and culture between Africans, and how and why some of them don't even get along, then you understand it's too reductive to call yourself African American, because you no longer have a connection to a single nation or tribal ethnicity - we have been repeatedly interbred. Most black Americans don't know shit about Africa and even look down on it. We suffer from lack of an identity, and a complete and total lack of knowledge about Africa. Our lineage is American, she's right. I didn't understand this until I moved out of the US, and started being around actual Africans from various places, and realized how my entire understanding of the world is based on being American and how Africans see me as different from them because of that. Black Americans just don't have a strong frame of reference about the rest of the world, which is typical for Americans in general.

[@curtis1415]

The problem with these kinds of discussions is the overt mindset among those who are ignorant is that Black Americans aren't an ethnic community and instead are an off-shoot African population that reside in the US so those who have melinated phenotypes can be grouped into it especially as they become US citizens(we're talking about those with immigrant backgrounds) are dismissive of Black Americans' unique history as a people. The reparations discussion which I agree with BTW becomes a shiny object to distract from the truth of Black Americans' history as a people and how much their history as a community is tied to the history of the US. The 1860 4.4 million population grouped (88% enslaved and 12% free before The US Civil War 1861-1865) into American Blackness is the ethnogenesis of contemporary Black Americans and is the basis of our ethnic identity. I'm a 4th-5th generation full descendant of that unique population and this defines my own identity. No other group regardless of melinated phenotype has no frame of reference for that and that's what Yvette is explaining and giving "language" to.

But it was not a continuous history. Leif Erikson also came to the Americas before Columbus, but the continuous history of non Indigenous people in America starts in 1492, and for black people or ADOS or FBA, whatever you want to call it, it starts with chattel slavery. History is history, fact is fact. "We was here before?" Who was "we"? Do you know which tribe or nation out of Africa actually came to US before Columbus. While actually not proven beyond some circumstantial evidence that is also confused by the intermediate history, there is archaeological evidence that could suggest travelers came from Mali, which would mean you could only claim "we was here" if you are from Mali. People from Mali were not really part of American chattel slavery, some countries that were involved were certainly part of the Malian Empire, but not all. If black Americans actually had any real understanding of Africa, we would be calling saying stuff like this but we only see ourselves as a homogenized, monolithic group because that is how we were cultured her, and our connections to Africa have been obscured and confused.

Those calling for reparations betray their own failures. The successful do not call for reparations; their success is their best revenge. USA: former colony of England; USA: successful country not asking for reparations. Australia: former colony of England; Australia: successful country not asking for reparations. Taiwan: former colony of Japan; Taiwan: successful country not asking for reparations. South Korea: former colony of Japan; South Korea: successful country not asking for reparations. North Korea: former colony of Japan; North Korea: failed nation, should it ask for reparations? Failures have a proven record of failing time and time again and show no exercise of self-repair. Monetary "reparations" will repair nothing. Monetary "reparations" is akin to giving more heroin to the heroin addict: short term pleasure followed with long term pain. Actual healing is done from within, not from without. Paradox of getting a bank loan: those in the least need of loans are most likely to get loans. If you have outstanding debt, no job, criminal record, living on the streets, you definitely NEED a loan but you are very unlikely to get a loan. Of course you have a long list of reasons for your pitiful situation ("The Police broke my arm.", "My great-great-great-grand parents were SLAVES!!!", "The landlord stole my furniture.", "My wife left me.", etc.). But no matter: No. Money. For. You. You may elicit pity but you do not get respect. You may elicit compassion but you do not get admiration. You may elicit empathy but you have bad reputation. You may elicit sympathy but you show no virtue. You may elicit sorrow but you have no credibility. Those most likely to get reparations are those who are demanding it from strength; but then, given your strength, you are unlikely to ask for reparations: Success is the best Revenge. Morality is a bitch. Morality is a tough Parent. Empathy without Understanding leads to Foolishness. Foolishness is not Morality. The purpose of Morality is to ensure the survival of Society, not to have Kumbaya sessions. It is immoral for Society to allow malignant tumors to grow: at some point Society will die. For those demanding reparations: is your credit score (not the credit score of your great-great-grand parents) high enough to get "reparations" from Society? Answer: Quite likely, NO. For those demanding reparations: are you a societal malignant tumor? Answer: Quite likely, YES. People with success in the Present have their memories of Failure dimming away with time. People with failure in the Present have the memories of Past Failures and Past Successes burning brighter and brighter with time. People with failure in the Present have not learned from their Past (Failure, Success) and is thus stuck in the swamp of Present Failure. People with failure in the Present flash out the Victim Card, citing the Failures of the Past and demanding Reparations (I was robbed! My great-great-great-grand parents were SLAVES!!! Wypiple stole my wealth!!!). People with failure in the Present flash out the Victim Card, citing the Successes of the Past, saying "I am as Good now as I was in the Past. I am a Failure now because I am OPPRESSED!!! I have been SUPPRESSED!!! I have been VICTIMIZED!!!" Become a Victim and win a prize!!! Victims of the World, Unite!!!

Native Americans owned slaves too, that's why some blacks say that they are aboriginals or native Americans. It's no different from other Europeans who owned slaves. Go fight with the native Americans and their reservoirs if you have an issue, otherwise, stop otherwising and stick to the ball game, reparations for the America Descendants of Slavey.

@tonyheard391 I want argue that Native Americans owned slaves snf that wasn't the case. However, Native Americans and Aboriginal Negros are and where 2 different groups on this land. Native Americans are government controlled tribes that were established or taken over by Europeans ($5 indians). Look, I don't follow narratives. I study genealogy and deal with facts. Peace

The term "black" wasn't used to describe people of African descent during that epoch. The term" black" was invented in the late seventeenth century after Bacon's Rebellion. "Black/White" is a social contruct.

First, Black people in the United States should drop the term 'Black American' and pick an African name for the (collective) group, probably KiSwahili on a practical level, e.g., Maboma ('many villages' < Kiswahili). The term African American (or African-American) has more dignity (and more comprehensive richness) by far comparatively, even though having a name w/o the word American in it will be far more beneficial and healthy. However, the "Black American" term does nothing to denote that the associated person is of African origin. In fact, the term "Black American" sounds like someone who is classified as an appendage culturally , ethnically and philosophically to the American, the name that the white colonizers, who founded the eventual United States, gave themselves. As you know, so-called African-Americans collectively emanate from the synergy geo-space of the Senegambia-Congo-Angola tri-node region+Mozambique vicinity+Madagascar; for convenience, I coin this as Kijiji Kikubwa ('big village' in KiSwahili). The basic African tapestry of the United States emanates from the cultural overtones of Congo and KiSwahili as extensions, e.g., gumbo; marimba; Jenga (woodblock games found in stores) and so on. Has everyone in the chat read the following books which expand my comments: Bantu Speaking Heritage of the United States (Vass, 1979); Kongo Across the Waters (Cooksey et al, 2012); UWENZI: The Pan-African Factor, A 21st Century View (Akombo et al, 2016)? If not, please do so. The African culture in the US is based on this geo-ethnic background (as I have earlier stated). Everyone needs an ethno-lingua-cultural reference for themselves which references the 7 major areas of culture: ethos, economics, politics, creative arts, social organization, history and mythology. Put all of the greatest talents, achievements and narratives from past and present under the banner of the new name. Though the group is based in the US, having a home and affiliation in Africa is part of the birthright as well as a conduit for economic and political leverage in a mzungu (white) dominated country (United States). The group should state that they are Africans. This creates proper order. Second, develop an Africa linkage/engagement plan. Multi-level engagement w/ Africa is the basic solution and path forward for African-Americans. Just thinking outside the box by a Bantu passing by.

[@greenlight8819]

No.

[@ellisbrisbane8959]

Fam, we know nothing about Africa. My family has been here longer than the Trump family. I've tried, I can't trace my lineage to Africa. The furthest I get is late 1700s in America (around the time the country was created). So y should I adopt an ideology from a culture I have absolutely no connection to other than the color of my skin. While we at it Africans aren't the only ppl with this skin tone but that's another conversation for another topic. Additionally, if u know the real history of slavery, u'd know why nobody from Africa ever came to America to liberate our ancestors. I've heard Caribbean Americans say things like "Black Americans lost their culture & connection to Africa", how can we lose something we never had? The slaves that ended up in America were not desired by the tribes, countries & cultures that existed on the continent back then. So after centuries of adapting to circumstances we just want to be recognized & somehow it's a problem to other Black ppl?

[@ufundi1]

@@ellisbrisbane8959 I am totally lost by what you said. Forgive me. Being African is about heritage, origin and race intertwined. The Pan-African culture that is tapestried in the US is already African/Bantu. African people (... and I assume you are Black) are all over the world. Therefore you are already African.

[@ellisbrisbane8959]

@ufundi1 ok, I'll try to explain it in a simplified way that u might understand a lil better. I gather from this exchange that u are from the mother continent. Meaning ur not from here. Where do u get off telling us how to handle our own business? The ADOS movement ain't about Pan-Africanism & it's not about division, it's about us standing up for ourselves & holding OUR government accountable for the mistreatment we've endured in this country for centuries (not a few years, centuries). We have developed our own cultures, traditions & ideologies just like Caribbeans, LatinX, South Americans and everybody else did. Y is it so hard to understand that?

[@ufundi1]

@@ellisbrisbane8959 Those points that you made have some validity. However, the scope of my comments are not connected to the response that you provided me.
