#ADOS No.14 - The Old And New Guard


This is from a Facebook post dated March 19, 2019 from Chicago #ADOS obstructionist Dr. Conrad Worrill. His comments are in bold print. My responses are in regular print.

"#Reparations. #ADOS is putting forth the idea that there is an old guard and new guard in the Reparations Movement. On the question of reparations for African people in this country, and throughout the world, there is only ONE GUARD."

OK - well if there must be "ONE GUARD" I think I will go with the winners - and that is #ADOS. There is no question for reparations for African people throughout the world in the ADOS equation. And within ADOS - that question has never been raised. And it does not need to be raised. AT ALL.

"And that is the GUARD of vindication and repair for the enslavement of African people in the Western Hemisphere and the continuing impact of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the damages inflicted on us."

"Western Hemisphere?" ADOS live in the United States. We know the damage and the impact. That is why we are taking practical moves in the United States to resolve this issue. 

"There can be only ONE GUARD on the question of the Reparations Movement. There can be no old, or young, or old and new in the Reparations Movement."

I'm sorry Sir - the "ONE GUARD" does not seem to work. It has been 40 years since we have heard from the "OLD GUARD". Now that someone else is finally DOING SOMETHING - here you come to obstruct and destroy the movement. Don't end up on the wrong side of history after all the preliminary work you have put in. 

"The Reparations Movement is a Movement to REPAIR what happened to all African people at the hands of European Imperialism and white supremacy. We need to be clear about that."

We have been clear - that is why ADOS exists. ADOS is the moment of clarity Sir.
