If DEI (bastardized affirmative action) were specifically for #ADOS, as it should have been, then DEI bans *would* be aimed squarely at us. But because everybody & their mama attached themselves to our justice claim, banning DEI targets everybody except straight white men, i.e. heterosexual white women, white gay men, white lesbians, anything spicy mayo, Brown Latinos, Black immigrants, Arabs, Native Americans, Indians (including H1Bs) Pacific Islanders, trans people & the rest of the rainbow 🏳️‍🌈 … *THEN* #ADOS. The white Right made #ADOS the face of DEI because they know America already hates us. We’re the cheat code. Want America to hate something?! Easy. Create a narrative around how it only helps/serves #ADOS. (Remember “Obama phones”?) It’s much easier to create new hate propaganda centering us rather than someone’s white wife, or mother or abuela or gay white bestie. The good DEI jobs with the fat checks usually aren’t going to #ADOS, but all I see on my timeline is the Black woman who changed her title from DEI to Senior Executive, why? That’s how propaganda works. America is always ready to inflict pain upon #ADOS, a group that has been its preferred victim for 400+ years. Making people believe #ADOS are the main beneficiaries of DEI is as crafty as it is dishonest.

Who is going to lecture Hispanic men? #ADOS

The story of Black immigrants is a story of immigration that fits into the immigrant narrative of all people from around the world who have come to America for a better life. Black immigrants fit neatly into that story, not the #ADOS story. Unless we want to start having the slave trader conversation… 👀

This was wonderful until they decided to use the Great Migration to tie Black Americans to Black immigrants. Black AMERICANS were traveling from one part of AMERICA to another part of AMERICA. Our story is not an IMMIGRANT story & has no relationship to it. We see you. Stop it.

“The couple struggled with money, with Mr. Robinson working in furniture manufacturing and bouncing around to other jobs. In those early years together, the couple, then in their 30s, filed for bankruptcy three times: in 1998, 1999 and 2003. In 2012, they were evicted for not paying rent.” So easy to sell out to the highest bidder when you’re wealthless… nytimes.com/2024/10/09/style…
