We learned tribalism and "weaponizing" heritage from the Caribbean. The islands mastered it.
Naw we just put boundaries on our ethnic group like everyone else. We learned tribalism and "weaponizing" heritage from the Caribbean. The islands mastered it.
And to my knowledge im the only poster on the board to even acknowledge Earl Little. Malcolms mom's Grenadan ancestry is pointed out constantly to distinguish him.
From my experience many feel this way
How?

Don’t say that. Their entire foundation is built on this bullshit premise.Some random bitch on twitter saying she's Jamaican first means people from the Caribbean weaponize their heritage?
What kind of moronic, generalizing bullshit is that?
Since you're obviously a 2nd or 3rd whatever immigrant, do you consider yourself Black, or do you claim your parents and grandparents homeland?Some random bitch on twitter saying she's Jamaican first means people from the Caribbean weaponize their heritage?

Also, who is " weaponizing their heritage"Thats not an example of weaponizing heritage.
No one in their right minds would have a problem with ados saying they ados first, black second, american third.

Distinction =\= tearing down.
Those groups are here and prospering because of the work of the so-called black native americans so if any reparations or restitution are given, they should be disallowed:
1) they didn’t put in the work to earn it
2) most don’t support uplifting the natives that were relegated to the bottom of the hierarchy and distinguish themselves constantly saying they are “[insert country]-American” and work to uplift their own communities.
The only reason you would be against distinction is because you are an immigrant/immigrant ancestry or you are a globalist (shill for the caucasian leftist)
I've always considered myself Black and American, and I claim the only homeland I've ever known, which is America. I've never once referred to myself as Jamaican-American, though I don't see a problem with those who do, just like I absolutely don't have an issue with those who refer to themselves or celebrate their ADOS heritage.
My issue is with KT's claim that Caribbean immigrants weaponize their heritage. I'm just asking How?
Your random tweet does nothing to substantiate this.
Malcolm's dad was ADOS and he only was a citizen in one country America. He even went to Africa and asked African leaders to help his people, the Blacks in America, and they told him they had their own problems to deal with and didnt want to alienate whites in the West.
Malcolm wouldntve dissed ADOS because ADOS made up the bulk of the NOI and his organization that came later. Malcolm was also mentored under Elijah who shared the same rural GA roots as his father.
The demonization of other black peoples does not move us closer to the goal of reparations, so why waste energy on it?
Also, who is " weaponizing their heritage"
I keep hearing this, and literally have not ONE example of such.

No the whole point is that is PERFECTLY FINE to be where the fuck you are from.So because she says this, that means she hates American blacks? Is that your assumption?
*plus it's stupid anyway. I'm black first in my mind. Loving your roots don't elevate you from anything in this world. You black.
I'm letting the ADOS folks fight their fight. No more debating & arguing with them. I'm focusing on entrepreneurship. I just hope their fight is with the actual white supremacists and not other black people. So far, seems like most of their energy is towards the latter.
I personally rather a open white supremacist throw everybody under the bus that is not white.
Here are examples.
"Roland Martin disagrees with us. Its because his great great great grand father on his mothers side immigrated from Haiti, never mind the fact that he never been to Haiti, doesnt speak a word of creole and wouldnt know Kompa if he ever heard it.
Same with Angela Rye.
Same with Talib. In Talib's case its completely false, but apparently being Haitian is something to hide now.

We hate them faggits because they are against and want to discredit the our movement.
We point to their origins as the one of the reasons they are most likely against us as they wont be included (and they are Democrat shills)
Does that make sense?
Umm no. Them 2 that you are vehemently supporting are Democrat 1st.No it doesnt make sense.
First, you didnt even hate them until someone on the internet told you to hate them. Think about that.
Point is, their ADOS roots run ALOT deeper then their immigrant roots, so they would still be included.
Thats the weaponizing game Im talking about. I talk on the internet, but if you disagree with anything i say, im gonna accuse you of having distant relatives with a different heritage and proclaim that you aint one of us whether its true or not.
Doesnt work. Its base level thinking that doesnt have its place in a political discussion.

They imagine people who have foreign roots somehow have a different American experience than they do.
Umm no. Them 2 that you are vehemently supporting are Democrat 1st.
I'm my own man. Stop putting your own thought(less) patterns on me.
Your ilk has an infantile mindset when it come to politics.
There is no discussion I'd like to have with you.

Its the opposite, on the internet non ADOS and immigrants are very vocal and often nasty towards us. But in real life where we can see people and hear them speak and dwarf them in numbers its a different ballgame. All that "Im just as ADOS as yall" stuff goes out the window. Its harder to "pretend" offline than online. Our cultural differences become more pronounced.
If someone isnt down with us or doesnt associate with us they can only do so much online. Thats why ADOS took off despite resistance, people can say what they want on a computer, but if it dont match reality it doesn't matter.
By promoting nationality first to differentiate themselves from each other. Haitians, Jamaicans, Trini's etc rep tribe first. There are inter caribbean beefs based off nationality (ex: Haitians being looked down upon in the Caribbean, beefs with Jamaicans). And also promoting the superiority of their tribe (ex: dudes putting a pretty womans nationality in thread titles to distinguish her as a beauty standard and not just saying she black so she wont be grouped with ADOS women). Us ADOS have watched and learned and are promoting our nationality first. We dont promote it as superior tho, no need to, everyone emulates or tries to deebo our shit anyway so no need to flex.
