the reason is also simple to me:
since the emancipation of enslaved people in the US, the ruling class of the US had no idea what to do with this population.

Some chose a path of intended reparation (Reconstruction).
But many more, installed paths of continued enslavement and bottom-class assignment (the carceral state).

Ava Duvernay, noted petty bourgeois class warrior, even made a movie about that latter topic in the last couple years.

the latter is what has endured over time.

when Black people, the former enslaved, pulled themselves up by the bootstraps, the way the white overseers and some of their black appointees in the future continue to suggest? Violence, brutal violence.

when Black people, the former enslaved, fought for the rightful inclusion in the reindeer games of greater American society? Violence, brutal violence.

When Black people, the former enslaved, got some slots they were due in the reindeer games? Violence, brutal violence. Crack cocaine wasn't an accident.

Most of us know this.

Some people might bristle at your use of "ADOS" here; I don't.
That's the filth of liberalism.... or rather, what has become "woke conservatism" as the ruling class drags America rightward doing its job; I reject it.

Much as I reject the behavior and front-facing culture war politics of much of those online who fly the "ADOS" flag.

ADOS, from the economic perspective, is identity politics done properly. It's important to bring that aspect in this discussion, to understand what the ruling class has done to keep the machine rolling, to enforce caste in this country.

Anti-Blackness is the oil that greases the wheel in America. Such is that the ruling class will use anything and ANYONE to keep it the dominant, hegemonic mode of operation in the U.S. Including other Black people, "ADOS" and African disasporic alike.

Usually, you see this through your Candace Owens, your Allan Wests, various celebrities getting extra anti-Black under the light.

But in the economic space, it just might be true that the ruling classes -- within industries of all shapes, within politics, may be intentionally preferring the non-ADOS Black option to be the representative of "Black people".

Especially within spaces "liberal". It's appearance politics, a sort of negative "identity politics" that is often derided as the genuine article, from far right dweebs, to white and non-Black POC class reductionist leftists alike.

Reality is, the diasporic Black folks who are in these slots, whether it be intentional or not, is still working within the framework of white supremacy. Many of those exceptional is just that, exceptional.

There are many African and Carribean immigrants as poor, as exploited, as imprisoned, as much subject to the brutal state violenace as ADOS.

So when I see those few folks who might be Black, but whose last name might not be Anglophone, whose parents might have come here on the latter side of 1950... I don't get mad at them, I look at the whiteness that put them there with utmost contempt.

That particular point, I believe is the wayward drift of a number of those who wear the "ADOS" Flag on their sleeve. The reason why the liberals will hop in with the kneejerk concern.

We know who does this, and why they do this.

If they can't overtly enslave us, they have no idea how to cope.

Most of 'em see us (ADOS and otherwise) as disposable. That goes for those in the "exceptional" slots, too.

Until America deals with its anti-Blackness, it will forever be a shithole.

Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.
