This show only exists to attack Black Americans ... They make sure to use the Abishola chick to take underhanded shots at ADOS(American Descendants of Slaves.. The African immigrant writer of the show; Gina Yashere even retweeted a tweet which called Black Americans trash.
shareLOL, a show like this could never attack African-Americans more than they've attacked themselves. We're now 30 years into AA's denigrating black women as hos and bitches, murdering each other in droves and perpetuating stereotypes in rap music and on talk shows like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich. So, BFD.
shareThat's quite the list of generalized negative black stereotypes you've got there which is commonly seen coming from the SWS crowd.
shareGeneralized negative stereotypes? What the hell are you talking about? None of what I talked about happened?
What is this "SWS" nonsense, anyway? You millennials/Gen Z are so cute with your stupid nonsensical social media buzzwords and acronyms (SJWs, SWS, ADOS) that are meaningless to everyone on the planet except the few hundred of you that use it on Twitter or Reddit. It's like you're the proverbial identical twins who are so disconnected with the rest of the world you invent your own language.
You sound like you could really use a hug
shareNah, I don't need a hug, but thanks for the offer. (You were offering...right? *grin* j/k)
It's just that you reach an age where you can only handle so much bullshit being spouted on the internet without getting pissed off. This whole ADOS movement is one of them. Seems like both Americans and Brits (Brexit) are determined to go down this stupid path of finding "others" to blame for wounds they inflicted on themselves and thinking separatism is going to solve everything. There's no future in separatism, especially in a world where there's strength in numbers.
I'm pretty sure there is no ADOS "movement". That didn't seem what was being described in the OP. It appears to just be one of various acronyms I've seen as hashtags referring to a specific classification of Americans which I suppose has been somewhat popularized through social media. I certainly haven't heard anything about separatism being associated with the use of that acronym.
shareI'm pretty sure there is no ADOS "movement".
Okay I have some issues with several of the statements you've made that seem a bit erroneous.
1.If you go on YouTube and read comments from so-called "ADOS" people, all you'll see is non-stop racism from AAs against other non-AA blacks. It's why that term angers me.
2. It's no different from white nationalism
First blacks can't be racist against other black people.
Okay. I thought there was potential for an actual discussion here but this is quickly turning into a rant fest. I suppose there isn't
anything further to discuss anyway if your inability or unwillingness to distinguish between xenophobia and racism is getting you so distracted.
The larger issue being the distinct lack of xenophobia exhibited by African Americans towards black immigrants. As i said, your seeing some comments online is a poor basis upon which to make such broad generalizations.
Simply put it is not xenophobic to recognize a distinguished identity that encompasses a distinct cultural & historical lineage to the survivors of chattel slavery in America.
As far America has come, white supremacy & crimes against humanity it inflicted will forever be a stain on its reputation & there's nothing even approaching an equal comparison to that on this issue.
Everything you said is pure bull****. Where did you get these stats from, anyway? Tired of white people talking about so-called "white slaves" just so you can play down the fact that America was supposed to be a free country for all, but became a slave-owning country out of pure fckg greed, and let the white slavemasters who profitted off of it off the hook. And no, black peopel were more "pro-slavery" than white people. Honestly, everything you're saying is pure complete, plain damn stupid, tired-ass bullshit. Why in the hell would slaves be "pro-slavery", and if they were so "pro-slavery", why the hell did so many of them try to escape it? Seriously, the bull**** stories some of you slavery apologists try to come up with it in order to justify it are so fckg ridiculous, one has to laugh---because its nothing but bull****.
shareYou have no idea what ADOS is if you think the movement is bullshit.. And nobody gives a two bit damn how pissed off you are.. The movement is here to stay.
shareOf course the movement is here to stay. You're privileged to live in a time when the biggest fools and morons are having their moment in the sun, like anti-vaxxers, Deep State conspiracy theorists and Brexiters. The blind are leading the blind, the inmates are running the asylum, the children like you--whose balls hadn't dropped yet when I was graduating from school--are running the show.
So yes, the movement is here to stay, most certainly. Judging by the millions of morons rushing headlong into conspiracy theories, denouncing vaccinations and arguing that you can be a woman yet still have a dick and balls, you're not telling me anything I don't know already. Of course ADOS is here to stay. It's that kind of time we're living in, where stupidity and ignorance reign.
But where will the movement take you? That's the more interesting question, one you're too arrogant to ask yourself.
What is this babbling bullshit that you just sent to me? You sound like you need medication..
shareThis chick got bent over by the wrong black dude........
shareYou do know there's more to rap than dudes spewing about "hos and b******", and white people murder each other all the damn time too, and white folks watched the Springer and Povich shows too. A lot of negative stereotypes have always been pushed on black people by white people since this country began, in order to justify haveing enslaved us and to be racist as hell toward us---we sure as hell didn't invent them all. Also, every black people dosen't just listen to rap---some of us even like country music, jazz and pop and classical. Those stereotypes you spewed don't even apply to all black people----we aren't all the damn same, and don't even think alike because we aren't a damn monolith, either. Tired of hearing these stupid-ass stereotypes spewed as if that's all black people are---that's old and fckg tired.
shareWell, Gina Yashere is Nigerian. The main character from the series is Nigerian.
Nigerian happen to be the most successful community inside Black American. Indeed, they're so successful that their Academic grades are not far from white ones.

However, they're probably seen in US as the average black Joe, and I guess they're not very happy about it. That's nothing new. Italy, for example: people from the North of Italy are more similar to Center Europeans than to South Italians, and they hate to be related to the usual Italian archetype. A similar issue happens in China, and Spain, and probably other lands or communities too.

There is no ADOS movement! That's nonsense created by Russians who are once again trying to interfere in American politics by dividing the black community. "African-American" families are mixed with many nationalities, races and ethnicities.
Gina Yashere is British.
The show is funny and not offensive. This is the first time an American show has starred an African character. I enjoy watching shows that are unique and groundbreaking. I started out of curiosity, but the show is funny so I'm still watching. The show is "dara".
There is no ADOS movement! That's nonsense created by Russians
"There is evidence that ADOS is advancing a right-wing agenda, and while it calls itself progressive, it pushes pro-Trump, anti-immigrant views. ADOS co-founder Yvette Carnell is a board member of right-wing front group Progressives for Immigration Reform (PFIR). PFIR -- which despite its name pushes an anti-immigrant agenda -- has ties to Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an extremist group run by white nationalist John Tanton."

Trump's spawn tweeted propaganda by pretending to be surprised that Harris isn't African-American. What difference does it make if a slave ship ended up in a West Indian port instead of an American one? That divide and conquer nonsense by anti-black racists isn't going to work.
while it calls itself progressive, it pushes pro-Trump, anti-immigrant views
Most Americans support immigration. The U.S. is a nation of immigrants.
"Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest son and outspoken defender, fanned the flames of a racist conspiracy by sharing a tweet falsely claiming that Sen. Kamala Harris isn't a black American. "

Be careful when speaking for "most" Americans.......
While WE know this is a nation of immigrants, there is a whole group of people who don't see it that way.
This is not a so-called nation of immigrants.. This countries wealth was built on the backs of American slaves.. I know exactly who started the ADOS movement and it hasn't got a damn thing to do with Russians. The movement is centered around getting reparations for American Descendants of Slaves.. That article you posted was a bunch of garbage by someone who has no idea what they are talking about.. ADOS stands for American Descendants of Slaves.. It was coined by Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore. Two people that you need to look into if you want to really know about ADOS.. Trump jr. is just a moron using it for his own ends. There is literally nothing right wing about Yvette Carnell. I know because I have been listening to her videos for over two years now. If you think that she is a fan of Donald Trump or the far right then you are a damn fool. I suggest you listen to some of her and tones videos on YouTube. So you really wasted your time posting all of that foolishness. Gina Yashare is British-Nigerian and she has retweeted that ADOS(Black Americans are garbage..
shareA few videos from Yvette Carnell to let you know what she really feels about the right:

First off I am not white.. Secondly, you need to read more.. Anyone that has knowledge of American history fully understands that this nations wealth was built off of the backs of the slaves.. "The Half that was Never Told" Black Labor, White Wealth, When Affirmative Action was White and several other books flesh all of this out. You can't change history because you don't agree with it.
There is no ADOS movement. They're irrelevant. The only ones mentioning them are alt-right extremists and Trumpites.

When you look up the word pretentious in the dictionary you see a picture of kuku and his mother.
shareTo the OP:
This is a really good show, which is why it got greenlit-----I don't know why you're throwing all this other baggage and bull**** on it. As a black person, I enjoyed the heck out of this show, and it's refreshing to see a show about African people that isn't stereotypical for a change, and that isn't the same old predictable white family sitcom we're seen a thousand times before.
There is no such thing as any "ADOS movement" either, which dosen't have jack to do with this show. None of the characters in the show, particularly the African ones, are perfect----they're all interesting and flawed human beings caught up in their own sometimes petty issues, which is what makes the show funny, plus the culture clashes with the American characters. That's why I like the show. Also, even though Yashere's background is Nigerian, she was born and raised in England. And where's this tweet you claimed she posted? Never heard her say anything like that---for all you know, it probably wasn't even her who posted that tweet, if it ever existed.
