Looking like us doesn't mean they ARE us. Or we are them. And many of them make that very clear. You are clinging to a "we-all-black" paradigm that is no longer applicable to Black America, if it ever was in the first place. And this is a rift that long pre-dates #ADOS. A lot more of us are just now more comfortable coming out and talking about it.
Even if you do reject what Tone and Yvette have to say, I would hope you would accept what these Emory students say:
Or what this professor has to say:
And yes, there are certain things black folk should be against, due to our history, and one of them is actively assisting in importing more people who will treat us with contempt and ally with the dominant power structure to shit on us.
This mistreatment of people you are talking about is being done by white officials voted into power by a majority of the white electorate. That isn't on us.
No need to go there with Camille, man. If it's mango or his ilk, I can understand shitting on him because he deserves it and does it to us, but Camille is respectful for the most part.
No one said African ancestry is irrelevant. And when we try to have that discussion, i.e. what were the circumstances behind millions of Africans being sold to Europeans as slaves, which Africans financially profited from that slave trade and whether their descendants still do, you get major pushback. See the other thread I started about this:

And, as far as being a justice claim, the ADOS movement is driven by achieving compensation and financially righting the wrong of that slavery our ancestors endured in the U.S. and that we still struggle from. It only makes sense to frame our struggle in the context of slavery.
