Up 4 Debate is a show where three generations debate current affairs, trending topics, and cultural issues. In today's episode, we discuss the racially charged insult that many people like to use against ADOS when they decry social injustice in the USA. "If you don't like it in America, you can go back to Africa!" they spew, failing to understand that Africa is a Continent and that African Americans who are descendants of enslaved people wouldn't even know where to start if they even wanted to repatriate themselves and embrace Pan-Africanism. Living as an African American expatriate anywhere - from the West Indies to the "Motherland", won't necessarily grant you a warm welcome. We also explore how the diaspora wars are misguided simply because, unlike African immigrants, ADOS does not have the political capital of an entire country defending them against police brutality, as was the case with the killing of Amadou Diallo. Expecting ADOS to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" negates and erases systemic racism, but we'll get into all of that ...STAY WITH US ✨
