If immigrants come to America and undermine our progress or promote xenophobia about ADOS in our house, they will be handled accordingly. You cant get an ADOS to move to Jamaica or the Bahamas and openly talk shit about natives on camera or the internet. But too many expats from colonies feel very comfortable coming here and doing it to us. Social media the last 10 years has hurt the image of melenated migrants. We have ones in our HBCUs on social media calling Black Americans racial slurs and promoting WS tropes as they eat from the plate our ancestors made for their children. And this is because they are so deeply aligned with white liberal politics they think white liberals will ALWAYS value them and prioritize them over us so they are "safe" to disrespect us in our homeland.
We are open to build with other groups that support our justice claim and have islanders and Africans that have allied with our movement. There are Black Americans in Ghana right now promoting ADOS.
Lastly, I just want to correct a statement you made. Our reach doesnt come from being a part of the American empire. Weve never been accepted as Americans which is why we actively fight WS. Our reach comes from our culture and the oppression we went thru as a people that created that culture. We have a "soul" and humanity that has existed in one of the most destructive empires in human history that inspires people all over the world. Proximity to whiteness is not what makes us special or looked up to around the diaspora.
I totally support dealing with coon immigrants accordingly. I am just saying that their defining characteristic is coon, not immigrant. Ostracizing them from the entire black community instead of just from ADOS is more consequential than a division that gives them an immigrant community to identify with.
I went to undergrad at an HBCU and a friend of mine pointed out how our mindsets were different from back Americans because we did not have to grow up under the obvious yoke of WS. While the point was inarguable, it bothered me that it was said with a sense of superiority and not solidarity. I totally get how this form of divisive colonial mindset can, and should cause friction. However, if we are serious about defeating WS we cannot respond in a manner that weakened the greater movement. (It is worth noting that he was in the minority that immigrated instead of going home to build and I do not argue with anyone that questions his character)
The goal was to inspire other nations and groups to demand reparations from their oppressors so we're with you there. I also do believe there is a militant presence in the islands and Africa that is against WS. We just need them to be more vocal towards those that arent. It doesnt matter if 80% of the people are against WS if the other 20% is allowed to operate freely and become the vocal minority for the group and representation in the West. This is why we make it a point to ostracize our coons and not let them be the voice of the people. I havent seen that enough from the folks from colonies. Tribal solidarity trumps morality and collective uplift beyond the tribe 95% of the time.
Of that 20%, 15 percent is white and the other five are go-along to get-along types. I literally can't remember an instance of public coonery aside from anonymous voices on talk radio spouting FoxNews talking points; and even those are quickly ushered off-air. As for our coons in your country, to be honest, they can only be your problem. Meddling in the affairs of the empire is a useless pursuit when you have zero influence or leverage; and local issues to deal with.
I do agree with your larger point though. I attend the closest thing to a white church over here (10% white 20% mulatto) and in 2017 a longtime white American "friend' of the congregation visited. During the course of a conversation, he proudly expressed his support for Trump, and hilarity ensued. As the story goes, it was the first time many heard old folks cuss in a church meeting. That guy has not been back since. There is an unease in our congregation bc our black pastor, trained by white evangelical seminaries, and married to a white American, now has to walk a thin line when a white member says something racist like Obama was worst than Trump
Lastly, I just want to correct a statement you made. Our reach doesnt come from being a part of the American empire. Weve never been accepted as Americans which is why we actively fight WS. Our reach comes from our culture and the oppression we went thru as a people that created that culture.

Proximity to whiteness is not what makes us special or looked up to around the diaspora.
I am trying to illustrate that contrary to your assessment, ADOS is not uniquely adept at policing anti-black propaganda. How can you be when you don't control your legal system? Yet you display typical American arrogance (yes, even black Americans do this) and take your limited, American bubble view of the world and make assumptions. In South Africa whites are arrested for using the word K@ffir; in the Bahamas, white folk know the police will actively move against them in any sort of racial dispute(in the absence of big payoff). This culture of intolerance of WS is deeply engrained and it is supported by every facet of society that we control.
ALL Americans hate to hear that yall are not special. You inspire people from all around there world bc of your proximity to the world empire. Yes, we all love hip hop because of its connection to African ancestral expression. But we also love our expressions of African heritage. Whether it be Junkanoo, Reggae, Soca, Samba etc we love it in our respective regions bc that is what reached us. We also listen to hip hop, not bc it is better or more soulful, but because the neocolonial financial empire of the united states made it available in our regions
It is this type of failure to recognize the interconnectivity of the diaspora that causes friction. Europe developed a culture of extreme violence and colonized 80% of the planet. Europen Americans are just British traitors and ADOS although different, are no better or worse because of which slave port their ship docked or which European slaver held their bill of sale. Bother to learn the stories of brothers and sisters in other slave ports and not rely on an empirical center-of-the-universe narrative typical of members of an empire
