Madame President, I've said it before but it's worth restating; I am so proud and glad that you're soldiering on the side of righteousness and justice for ADOS. The ancestors are pleased.

Madam President, your narrative was clear, concise & to the heart of the matter. I’m exhausted by the 🖤diaspora force teaming Juneteenth behavior. I found out 14 yrs ago how African countries sold us for chicken change. At 1st l didn’t want to believe it because my l really liked my 🇳🇬 acquaintances. My former spouse Never mentioned his family’s involvement in the transatlantic chattel slave trade.

Well said. ADOS culture belongs to ADOS people. That's not disrespect. That's common sense.

Madame President. I am happy that I read this. We have a lot of work ahead of us. I can't find one celebration here in Florida for Juneteenth that is not somehow based on Pan African theory. Smh. Keep up the good work. 👍🏿

Kwanzaa is some made up crap for people that hate themselves. I hate to have learned that whoever made that flag describes the people who began and continued celebrating, especially in Galveston, TX as African American. Many like one of my grandmothers hated even the fact that their fathers' were white men ( which became relatively prevalent after 1865 for a period of time). They described themselves as Colored of Negro. To described them as African American is Pan-African disrespect and denigration of of Texans freed from slavery and their descendants. I'm going to need someone to come up with another flag that represents Texas Coloreds and Negros-I can't adopt that one. My opinion.
