Ados Or Fba Ideologue

I understand why some might think that "Black is Black" and that any person with African ancestry should be seen as part of the larger Black community in the United States. But when it comes to issues of identity and representation, especially within the ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) and FBA (Foundational Black American) communities, it's not just about skin color—it's about shared history, experience, and the unique struggles of Black Americans who are the descendants of enslaved Africans in this country. Kamala Harris is often celebrated as a "Black" figure in American politics, but there's a significant distinction to be made here. Harris is of Jamaican and Indian descent, not ADOS or FBA. This means that while she shares African ancestry, her family did not experience the specific horrors of American slavery, Jim Crow, and the ongoing systemic racism that has uniquely shaped the lives of Black Americans who are descended from enslaved Africans in the United States. This distinction is important because when we talk about representation and advocacy, we're not just talking about putting a Black face in a high place. We're talking about having someone who truly understands and is committed to addressing the specific issues that affect the ADOS community, such as reparations, wealth disparities, mass incarceration, and the legacy of systemic racism that has kept our community at a disadvantage for generations. Harris’s record on issues important to the Black community, particularly during her time as a prosecutor in California, has also raised concerns. Many ADOS and FBA people feel that her policies were often more punitive than protective, disproportionately impacting Black and Brown communities. This history makes it hard for some to see her as an advocate for the specific needs and demands of the ADOS community. In summary, while Kamala Harris is racially Black, her experiences and the legacy she carries are different from those of the ADOS and FBA communities. And when it comes to political representation, that difference matters. It’s not just about having someone with Black skin in office—it’s about having someone who understands, represents, and fights for the unique interests and rights of Black Americans who are descendants of those who built this country with their blood, sweat, and tears.
