They did that to Joy to just let her know that they have something. She thinks she's safe since she still has the job, but they already let everyone know....once she gets out of line...this is the reason she was let go.
im telling u , ive seen BOT-like tendencies online alot on YT & blogs thats made me believe alot of agents pushing this movement ..
I don’t like the name because it has slaves in it. That’s based in a truth, but it also isn’t very forward thinking. It can definitely be misinterpreted by those in it to become a caste. Some people get hindered by Thinking of themselves as permeanent slaves. I don’t have a better word for it right now, I just don’t care for that one.
Cosign
and thats how the movement is gonna get exposed, Tonetalks & Yvette havent built anything for anyone but talk, i wanna see what "tangible business" any of them have built
my sentiment exactly ! & thats how i know that Yvette & Tonetalks r full of shit ! their claim to be "critical thinkers" is a ploy
This isn't about the amount of people that heard these terms. It's how problematic these terms can be and how problematic underground black media has become with these black presidential hopefuls that the democrats have pranced out in front of us. As I've stated if those terms begin to pick up real traction during this election cycle it will force those black candidates to have to address the black voters in real ways. Not in just dancing in their seats and I'm a person of color and I like a tribe called quest kind of way. Policies and promises. Commitments. Things the democrats aren't willing to have a candidate do.
Could try a name like “builder” or “founder” or something more of a distinction like that. Lots of people were salves around the world. Native Americans chose that name instead of “the defeated”, get me?
You have a simple mind
Not gonna comment on the AKATA shit but YANKEE is not meant to be an offensive term (your linking them together is suspicious)....simply descriptive...as are the DOS and ADOS terms...in regards to the DOS and ADOS terms there is nothing wrong with recognizing an essential truth (although I agree with your stance on slave being in the name)...Black Americans are a separate ethnic group under the BLACK umbrella....said this before regarding this topic, time will tell the true intentions of the people behind these terms...it can be for Black progress and it can end up dangerously divisive...you can be a proud ADOS and a proud Pan Africanist...you can be a proud Igbo and a proud Nigerian...if it ends up being divisive, its because those promoting it want it that way
I wasn’t really talking about them being offensive. They’re distinctions. That’s all. So is DOS.
Cool...on that I agree...there is some debate on what Akata means and one version is that its derogatory in nature...just didn't like seeing akata and yankee lumped together since yankee doesn't have that derogatory controversy tied to it
Some democrat apologists wish to concentrate on
Russia. How many times big homie visit Wisconsin? Also, Hillary has been hated by WHITE PEOPLE since the fucking 90s. Only demographic in this country that consider the Clintons sacred is the black vote -- except 2008. Russia or bot shit leading up to 2020. And they will have the backing of cacs who only have ever given a fuck about party power, not the betterment of the black community.
Both of em can be derogatory depending on who’s saying it and when. When a Jamaican says “Likkle yankeee bwoi!” I don’t assume he’s calling me his homey lol. Yankee even in the white world USED to be deragatory (check the lyrics to ya see doodle) but they flipped it when they beat the brits.
Agreed.Some democrat apologists wish to concentrate on
This Russia shit has now turned into a blanket that SOME democrats wish to throw over a pile of incompetence that exists with the party. Hillary ran a shit campaign and was second in history only to Trump in being disliked AND black people have every fucking right to call out democrats.
Sadly, we will see democrat shills countering with this
Some have OBJECTIVELY addressed Russian interference.

But there are reasons to be skeptical of the claim that Russia swung the election for Trump. First, Russian information warriors produced far less fake news and polarizing rhetoric than did domestic and other international sources. Russia simply added to the already deafening cacophony of inflammatory rhetoric and misinformation.
Second, the hacked emails had little obvious impact. The first batch of Democratic National Committee emails was released in July 2016, amid the two party conventions — after which Clinton’s lead increased. Similarly, after WikiLeaks released John Podesta’s emails in October, Clinton’s support increased, apparently in response to such other campaign events as the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape. Trust in Clinton remained more or less the same throughout October — not what we’d expect to see if the emails had made a difference.
Of course, Russia may still have influenced the outcome. As FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten notes, “the drip, drip, drip” of these email releases “makes it all but impossible to measure their effect precisely.” And Trump won by such a thin margin that even a small Russian impact could have tipped the election.
But there is far stronger evidence that other factors were more critical. For instance, public opinion shifted suddenly after Oct. 28, when FBI Director James B. Comey announced that he was reopening an investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state. And the closeness of the election mostly resulted from polarization between Democrats and Republicans that long predates Russian President Vladimir Putin or the rise of Trump.
It’s true that Russia has been increasingly trying to meddle in Western elections. But it hasn’t gotten much for its efforts — and these efforts have often backfired. For instance, the U.S. uproar about Russian interference has almost certainly made it less likely that the United States will lift its sanctions. Thus, on balance, Putin’s expansion of Russian interference may not be in Russia’s interests.
Any term can be derogatory when said in a derogatory tone or in a derogatory phrase....you can call somebody "rich" and say it in a way that makes the person sound like a piece of shit...no matter what else I might think of you as a poster, I know you are not a fool and I know that you are fully aware of what I am saying....yankee and akata do not share the same history as it relates to Black American and foreign Black interpersonal relationships
Lol why is this becoming a discussion?
I said the bolded in my first response to you...the statement after that is some division "we did more" bullshit....there has been reaching out on all sides and fuckery elements on all sides
You also said some other slick shit
Yeah. I hate that they’re kinda all over the place but oh well. Can’t cintrol everything. Gotta take the good with the bad
Those black elite have always been gatekeepers and mouthpieces for the democrats and this is why you see them doing the dirty work in the news going against the underground black media. The democrats can't come out and attack them because it would legitimize them and give them credibility so they sic their guard dogs on them. This latest attempt is a way to get social media platforms to ban underground news outlets as Russian trolls and individual accounts as bots.
Nah, I just felt the need to clarify since a lot of folks on this board didnt grow up around foreign Blacks...Caribbean folks don't have high numbers in every metro...your statement made akata and yankee sound like the same thing...whatever issues both groups may have with each other, the word yankee aint it....not sure what slick shit you are referring to Boss...feel free to point it out whenever you feel like or we can move on from this...make sure its actually some shit I said and not your interpretation of it though...in other words, dont put words in my mouth
