We ADOS now have the full backing the NBCA...(ADOS101.com)
The National Baptist Convention of America (NBCA) has
announced its support of the American Descendants Of Slavery (ADOS) movement to
gain reparations for Black Americans. The convention has a membership of over
3.5 million, according to NBCA President Samuel Tolbert Jr. (source)
This is really great news and this is also “more wind”
behind us to push for redress, and reparations for our people. Ados.
Earlier today, I seen a comment from an ados person saying
that they were now “done with the ados movement”…((when ados is a lineage not amovement and you can’t “run” away from that))
He was upset that the church is in full support of us, “saying
that he feels they are all about the money and they will somehow co-opt the
movement.”
The information that
is shared and understood about ADOS ppl is that our focus is a black agenda…we are connected thru our
lineage therefore, there will be Christians, Muslims, Gays, Straight,
Bi-sexual, some with one leg and some with no legs, some with weave, some without
However, our focus is reparations and trans-formative policies to help our
people.
As we are going on this path, we have to learn to “stand on
our square”…we don’t have time to argue about which path a person should or
should not be following, and we have to learn “to get-out our feelings” when it comes
to politics.
It’s not that I don’t understand the mistrust of the church,
however; I also have read enough of our history to understand that the church
is where our ancestors met up, so they were inform about what was going on in
the community.
I also understand, how over time that has changed. However;
look at what they are doing NOW.
Sure walk in cation, we all should when it comes to any one
or organization that “says our name”.
However, all of this is a political learning process…
And we have to stop throwing away the baby with the bath
water.
