Yvette Carnell's self hatred is real. Now, she is criticizing an U.S. flag with the red, black, and green colors on it. She is part of the ADOS cultic movement (and Yvette said that Black is a white supremacist construct which is a lie and outright disrespectful of her as Black is Beautiful) along with her friend Antonio Moore. Both of their hatred and scapegoating of Africa is silly but not unusual. Carnell said the self hating lie that we don't have to be anchored to the Motherland of Africa. As a black American, I am always anchored in Africa for life, because my ancestors came from Africa. God created Africa for a reason, and black people have blessed the human race since the start of human history. Our African American history existed long before enslavement. Jewish history existed for thousands of years just like black history. You will notice how Carnell and Moore don't talk about comprehensive solutions except reparations primarily or talk about wealth gap information. I agree with reparations for black Americans, and I agree that we must address the wealth gap, but a solution is more than reparations. We have to enact political and economic policies that deal with poverty, health disparities, education, imperialism, and other real issues in our communities. ADOS' Afrophobia among many of its members is revolting and outright encompass mental slavery. The fact to refute both of them is that African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Africans, and other black people of the African Diaspora united to fight for freedom for centuries. Here are some examples:
1. Kwame Ture was Afro-Caribbean who stood up for Black Power and black liberation
2. Denmark Vesey was Afro-Caribbean who fought for liberation against slavery in South Carolina
3. Many of African American people centuries ago came as slaves from the Caribbean and then into America.
4. Malcolm X's Mother is of Afro-Caribbean descent. Edgar Toppin, Marcus Garvey, & Shirley Chisolm are all of Afro-Caribbean heritage too.
5. The Gullah-Geechee culture in the Carolinas have Caribbean and African roots. The way black people worship in the church have the African call style. Many of the foods that black Americans eat like gumbo, watermelon, collards, black eyed peas, corn bread, yams, etc. have African or indigenous roots.
6. Author Hurston always studied African folklore to create some of the greatest literary works of the 20th century.
7. South African jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim was influenced by Duke Ellington. His daughter is one of the greatest lyricists of hip hop named Jean Grae. Tons of the founders and innovators of hip hop are Afro-Caribbean people.
8. American jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd admitted that in the song "The Black Disciple" he sourced the rhythms in that song from archived recordings of music by a tribe in Congo.
9. Black immigrants globally worked with us African Americans in the abolitionist, civil rights, Black Power, anti-apartheid, and current freedom movements for a long time.
10. Dr. King and Malcolm X readily visited Africa to celebrate African independence among many nations plus promoted black unity globally.
*Only an agent would shun our African connections. A real person would celebrate our African roots.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
