THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATION FOR ALL OR NONE

THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATION FOR ALL DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES OR NONE – unnecessary dispute There may be circumstances where the all or nothing strategy is an effective tool but this would prove to be a fatal position if the dispute between ADOS and PANAFRICANIST ends in all descendants losing their justifiable claim to be made whole for the irreparable harm done them in slavery and the years of discrimination that followed. Pan Africanism was and for the most part still is a vision not a reality. Great black minds of different black cultures could (can) see the distinct African Root in the clusters of black people on every continent. These visionaries could (can) see the awesome power of these black cultures when coming together in self-awareness and singleness of mind and purpose. However, the black souls comprising these clusters are not fully aware of their own African root and even less aware of other black cultures. The evolution of Pan Africanism is still in process and it will take time and much work for it to be born. ADOS has given itself a unique identity and a single definitive purpose. American-Descendants-of-Slavery (ADOS) is its name and to secure Reparation for ADOS is its reason for being – its purpose. In addition, ADOS has identified the legal route to redress – payment for irreparable harm done. Therefore ADOS is the most viable vehicle to secure reparation. Its success could prove a model for other black descendants of slavery to follow.

THOUGHTS ABOUT BEING AMERICAN AND SALUTING THE FLAG

THOUGHTS ABOUT BEING AMERICAN AND SALUTING THE FLAG - ADOS I am an ADOS, American Descendant of Slavery, who salutes the flag and will continue to be and do such. I am not blind to the torture, the slaughter, the genocidal efforts of powerful white citizens, specifically, and the silence of many white citizens, in general, and their complicit actions to obstruct black efforts to recover and thrive following the force labor of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and the subtle but open white race discrimination which continues today. My Americanism and respect for the flag is innate because the blood of my parents and that of my ancestors soak the soil and saturate the waters of this nation and color its flag – it is to them that I give honor and respect.
