Chris Rogers II - Pan Africans and Moors are not the same...
Muhammad Rasheed - True. Unfortunately, they have the same rap when it comes to critiquing the ADOS activists against politically unifying along our unique lineage & heritage, so they function the same.
Chris Rogers II - As a Pan African... I do not agree with that..
Muhammad Rasheed - I appreciate you. I wish your voice was louder in this regard.
Chris Rogers II - now with that said... I don't really agree with the ADOS movement.. because the African American struggle is connected the African struggle across the globe... and I'll be damned if I wave that imperialistic red white and blue flag...
Muhammad Rasheed - The ADOS movement is all about the Black American former slave class politically unifying so we can lobby for Reparations and economic inclusion. If we don't do this, we'll continue to be scattered and exploited by rival groups. It doesn't make sense to be against the ADOS movement unless you aren't ADOS and you just don't want us to succeed as a hostile rival.
Chris Rogers II - Pan Africans believe we should get reparations as well... we also believe in building a self sufficient African economy, organizing and gaining political power that will benefit all peoples of African people across the globe...
The people of the ADOS movement has been hostile to all groups, especially Pan Africans...
Muhammad Rasheed - As soon as we started coming together a few years ago to advocate for ourselves, the immigrant community started attacking us for it and trying to talk us out of it. Many high profile immigrant tied celebrities started falsely calling us "russian bots" trying to smear us and sabotage our movement. They refused to listen to reason and our arguments in trying to defend ourselves are now being considered attacks against THEM. This is unacceptible.
ADOS doesn't have a problem with other Black nationalities getting their rightful reparations from the specific European governments they were colonized by, but the USA Reparations is for us under our own specific justice claim. trying to force your way into our claim just looks like you're shooting a move in a confidence scam.
Chris Rogers II - Can't expect these white people to give us money... that is unlikely to happen.. A unified african people is the only way for African people to get free.. all of our cultures and struggles are intertwined. no need to seperate that on any level..
Muhammad Rasheed - Your message appears to be that I shouldn't try to do what my white supremacist enemy is working to prevent me from doing.
My rival Black diaspora groups are already separate; they proudly rep the national flags of the colonized countries of their birth while hypocritically scowling at me for repping my own national flag. That kind of contradictory mix-messaging -- combined with their Day One hostility when they saw me finally unifying to fight for my own ethnic group's needs by pressuring my own government -- makes it difficult to take what you say at face value.
Chris Rogers II - I didn't say anything of those things.... but that flag you wave, with those european imperialistic colors do not represent me or the black people of this nation.. They represent the british and european americans that went around the world enslaving and killing our people
There are no rival groups... we're all one people.. no need to be decisive.. our struggles and cultures are too intertwined to seperate us..
Muhammad Rasheed - Chris wrote: "I didn't say anything of those things...."
Sure, you did. Why hide from it now? Because you don;t like the way it sounds when I rephrase it in straight talk? Why?
Chris wrote: "but that flag you wave, with those european imperialistic colors do not represent me or the black people of this nation."
Yes, it does. Becuse the Black American descendants of slavery built this nation and fought in every single war. It's soil was baptized in our blood, sweat & tears. This is my country, both the good and the bad.
Chris wrote: "They represent the british and european americans that went around the world enslaving and killing our people"
The colors that the rest of the Black diaspora proudly represent parallel the same. How come those flags don't piss you off just as much?
Chris wrote: "There are no rival groups..."
They ACT like rival groups. They called me a "russian bot" for literally doing nothing but advocating for my ethnic group's needs. Does that sound like my friend & brother to you?
Chris Rogers II - I never told you to stop fighting for what you believe in... what are you talking about..
but more power to you black man... keep waiving you red white and blue flag... we have our own flag... The Pan African flag that was designed for us by us and represent the unity of African people world wide...
Most of the flags flown in the diaspora have been changed, some haven't because those countries are still external members of their enslaved countries (with the exception of Haiti) and yes, I'm offended by any red, white and blue flag... our forefather were enslaved, raped and killed under those colors.. we've fought in these wars with the promise of freedom, not because our people loved this country.. black people join the military for a better life, as my mother did... but to sit here and say that white people flag represent us is a fallacy..
Muhammad Rasheed - I built this country and have lived here for 400 yrs. It's not a "white people flag."
You're giving them too much power and handing over our contributions to them. THAT'S the fallacy.
I used to care about pan-africanism, until these rival groups showed their true colors when they saw me fighting for myself as a unified political group.
Chris Rogers II - I don't understand why you're referring to other African people as rivals? That's nothing but division and hate.. Pan Africans are about unity and love.. togetherness, community and family... not competing against each other as these Europeans have programmed us to do...
Muhammad Rasheed - Because they ACT like rivals. It doesn't matter what you say when actions speak far louder than empty rhetoric.
You don't get to call me a "russian bot" on behalf of white supremacy, just for advocating for my group's specific needs from my own governmnet, and pretend to be my friend at the same time.
Chris Rogers II - But the fact is the russians troll farms has used the moniker #ADOS to infiltrate and misinform the black community.. that is a fact and that has happened..
Nobody out here acting like rivals... Pan Africans are out here building schools and communities and unifying black people around the world with our hands in nearly every struggle, trying to better our people's situation
Muhammad Rasheed - [VIDEO] Inside a Russian troll factory in Ghana | CNN
Muhammad Rasheed - Chris wrote: "Nobody out here acting like rivals..."
You're LITERALLY acting like my rival by being against #ADOS. That's what a rival would do. #ADOS is in my ethnic group's best interest -- me fighting for me -- but you hate that. Like a rival. Make it make sense.
Chris wrote: "Pan Africans are out here [...] trying to better our people's situation"
The pan-africanists have not bettered my sitiuation as the Black American former slave class group. I'm worse off now than I was 50 yrs ago. So you've been bettering everybody but me and at my expense.
Chris Rogers II - look at our statements...
I'm using a lot of we and us ... I'm speaking on unity and bringing people together...you're using a lot of I and myself statements... very self centered.. very divisive
that's why ADOS is a dying "movement"
Muhammad Rasheed - There's chapters in every major city, awareness is spreading, numbers are growing, and we're getting laws passed through the force of our grassroots pressure on the government... which is what we SHOULD have been doing the last 50 yrs instead of allowing ourselves to be played by that pan-african confidence trick.
What does "dying" mean in your universe?
Muhammad Rasheed - Your rhetoric is shallow with nothing to back it up.
Chris Rogers II - Listen.. I'm not here to be battling and going to war with my people or to argue.. thats not my style and that not the Pan African way... I'm not even on here speaking rhetoric or using talking points.. I haven't opened up one book on this thread.. . I don't need to do any of that.. I'm here having a conversation about unity and bringing people together... none of this divisive talk.. Pan African confidence trick? dude.. we got schools and communities out here... The RBG flag is being flown in almost every country..
I'm done tho... be blessed beloved.
Muhammad Rasheed - Chris wrote: "I'm not even on here speaking rhetoric or using talking points."
Meanwhile, that's all you did.
Telling the Black American former slave class not to stand up and politically unify for himself in his own country is doing the white supremacist's work for him. It makes you my rival at best, and the dedicated support class of my enemy at worst. You've certainly said a lot during this conversation, but your actions as a pan-africanist have proven you are against my political and economic empowerment and you always have been.
Chris Rogers II - I didn't say none of that and I am not against your political and economic development..
What are you talking about..
Muhammad Rasheed - And you think it's funny, which is probably the most honest you've been yet.
Chris Rogers II - I think its funny that you're putting words in my mouth...
I have no idea what you're talking about ...
Muhammad Rasheed - Chris wrote: "I am not against your political and economic development."
#ADOS is for my political and economic development and uplift, and yet you have NOTHING but negative to say about it.
Somewhere there's a discrepency.
Chris Rogers II - only thing I said about it ADOS is that its a dying "movement"
outside of that... I haven't said one thing about ADOS ..
o and I talked that red white and blue flag..
Muhammad Rasheed - So you spoke death over the growing movement, and you said you didn't agree with it because you don't like Old Glory.
Is this supposed to make me ignore the negative effects of your pan-africanism upon my community during the 'integration' era's half century of political disenfranchisement and increased poverty?
Chris Rogers II - Okay... so...
You're speaking about the civil rights movement and not UNIA or Marcus Garvey and we're just going to ignore the intellectual works of Pan Africans such as WEB du Bois and Booker T Washington? Or ignore the work of Stockley Carmichael and the Brother Huey P Newton and Black Panthers.. Pan African and Pan African leaders made the most contributions in this country to better out people... and Pan Africanism is pro segregation
Muhammad Rasheed - lol Yes, I am going to ignore the activism of the leaders of the civil rights era, because the 2nd and 3rd tier "leaders" who survived J. Edgar Hoover's assassination era were nothing like those leaders and were CLEARLY compromised by Western intelligence. That's why your pan-africanist confience trick has literally done nothing at all for the ADOS community during the entirety of so-called 'Integration.'
Mark Obbanya - Never heard a U.S.-born ADOS refer to a group as “you lot.” Who wrote that dialogue?
Muhammad Rasheed - So all Black Americans across the country in all regional dialects sound the same when they talk, huh, "Obbanya?"
Does that conflict with your ADOS mimicry training?
[VIDEO] Hollywood Shuffle Official Trailer #1 - Robert Townsend Movie (1987) | YouTube
Mark Obbanya - Of course not. I asked you a question. You didn’t answer it. And why is my name in quotes?
Muhammad Rasheed - Because your question was insulting by its nature, and the fact that your last name appears to be African language derived provides insight into why you would ask it.
Especially now, in this clime and in this thread.
Muhammad Rasheed - "Of course not" conflicts with the spirit of your original question.
Mark Obbanya - Take it how you like. I’m the child of an African-born African and a U.S.-born ADOS. I’ve done lots of traveling within and without the U.S. My question was based on my own life experience and I don’t assume that it’s everyone’s. I have seen many many U.K.-educated Africans weighing in on U.S. politics in social media lately. But you’re insulted? I’m not out here trying to sow discord, bruh. Relax and answer the question.
Muhammad Rasheed - Your question was based on an anecdotal logical fallacy.
#ADOS isn't trying to sow discord, but only to unify the Black American former slave class for effective radical political activism so our special interest group can pressure our government for our long overdue debt and economic inclusion.
For some reason the immigrant community has a severe problem with this goal of ours, that is none of their business, and have been attacking us continuously in the 3 yrs since the #ADOS movement's founding.
Muhammad Rasheed - Your question is insulting by its nature, and I've dismissed it out of hand.
Please go away.
Maksim Izimov - It's like complaining about having no money but refusing to work for it...
Muhammad Rasheed - How?
Maksim Izimov - You have people who complain, and people who actually do something about it.
Muhammad Rasheed - The #ADOS political unification movement has built grassroot organizations in every major US city within th elast thre years of its founding and has pressured local government for long overdue policies that the previous generation dropped the ball on. We definitely are doing something about the problems.
Your comments seem to be woefully uninformed as well as mysteriously hostile to Black people. Please explain.
Maksim Izimov - First I'm not being hostile to anyone. I'm more curious about what you have done not the ADOS...
Muhammad Rasheed - The entire point of the cartoon and the accompanying thread discussion is political, specifically the political uplift of an entire special interest group with an estimated 32 million population. The reason US citizens do politics is for the economic uplift of the group, not at the individual level.
I don't know how politics functions in Russia, but here your attempt to make this about me functions as a misdirection/deflection attempt in a thread about group politics.
Maksim Izimov - Ok I'm done...
Michael Forsyth - There are a lot of advantages to all Black Americans uniting regardless of their backgrounds. There's only one advantage to descendants of slaves carving out a separate identity and that is the possibility that somewhere down the line those of us who can prove our ancestry will get reparations checks from the government. But there is no reason to believe that white Americans will ever agree to pay out trillions of dollars for that!
Muhammad Rasheed - There are no advantages for a politically disunited and economically excluded ADOS inside of a united Black diaspora. It would mean the other Black ethnic groups, who ARE united as independent political identity groups, would exploit us and make us the bondsman mule class, the same way the Democratic Party rival liberal groups treat us now.
Beyond advocating for Reparations and our economic uplift, there are obvious advantages for ADOS to remain a politically unified group lobbying for our unique needs along our lineage & heritage. The fact that every single African immigrant group has a separarate nationality/ethnicity centered sub-immigrant association organization to lobby for their specific needs is the clue to this fact.
Michael Forsyth -As for "militant" blacks on social media encouraging us to withhold our votes on Election Day. Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump send their thanks.
Muhammad Rasheed - Michael wrote: "encouraging us to withhold our vote on election day"
Who is "us?"
If you hold immigrant ties and/or are homosexual, then you will probably benefit from the Biden/Harris ticket. It is only the Black American former slave class that they snub, exploit and abuse. This is the group I'm advising to vote Democratic Party down ballot with a focused vote boycott strategy. This is the group that needs to do something different or we will only continue to be snubbed, exploited and abused in the system with no end in sight until we are eventually returned to shackles "for our own good." We cannot afford to blindly vote party as usual with nothing in return and must do something different. You have provided zero insights in this regard, and your "advice" will only further hurt us.

Muhammad Rasheed - She would look even MORE fabulous if she'd spent her professional politician career fighting to achieve Reparations and economic inclusion for the Black American descendants of slavery. Beauty sits better on a brave hero with integrity. Right, Mo'Nique? *wink*
Mo'Nique (therealmoworldwide) - @Muhammad... Hey beautiful brother. I’m not sure what your speaking about, however I want to tell you what I know. I remember going to her school MAXINE WATERS EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION CENTER in the heart of our neighborhood helping our folks get back on their feet. When I tell you the words they spoke about our sister and they way she loved on them. Not only did they tell me, I saw it with MY EYES! And yes BEAUTY does sit better on a brave hero with integrity. For me my beautiful brother her name is MAXINE WATERS. And remember this. SHE CAN’T FIGHT ALONE
Muhammad Rasheed - Mo'Nique wrote: "I'm not sure what you're speaking about..."
My beautiful sister, I'm speaking about the fact that the reason we have political representation is for the economic uplift of the GROUP, and yet the Black American former slave class continues to find ourselves MORE disenfranchised and MORE artificially impoverished after 50+ yrs of the "Assimilated Integration" grift scheme than we were before it. The CBC has demonstrably fought for every Democratic Party special interest group except for us... we have yet to become economically included into the competitive wealth-building ownership class (Comcast and the SCOTUS just tried to return us to slavery!) and the Reparations needle hadn't moved at all under the CBC's "leadership" -- it took the 3 yr old grassroots #ADOS movement to force it to move, with zero help from Waters and her CBC cohorts.
Politics is not a beauty pageant, it's a series of high-stakes power moves that are supposed to help all of us.
I love you, Mo'Nique. Thanks for reading my rant. I appreciate you. Please continue to unapologetically speak TRUTH. God bless.
https://ados101.com
Mo'Nique (therealmoworldwide) - @Muhammad... Hey my baby. Thank you so much for sharing this information. Now we have to ask our community how did we help to get things done. We can’t elect them just sit back and don’t get into our business of our community. I heard our sister one time and she said, y’all always say to me Maxine go get them and go get that, and she said but what you doing. We have to do this together. I appreciate this conversation brother. We need so much more of this. WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER. UNITED TOGETHER. I love you good brother
Muhammad Rasheed - 'Better late than never,' as the saying goes. That's exactly what the American Descendants of Slavery (#ADOS) grassroots political unification movement is all about. With chapters in every major city across the country, we're now awakening politically to enfranchise and pressure our government to commit to our Reparatory Justice program and the Black Political Agenda. I know you're busy, my dear Lady Mo'Nique, but please familiarize yourself with the material and lend your potent voice to this very real resurrection of the movement of Dr. King for the long overdue economic empowerment of our people. God bless you. https://ados101.com
Mo'Nique (therealmoworldwide) - @Muhammad... Hey my brother. I will definitely educate myself on ADOS. Thanks for sharing and thanks for being a grown up. Lol!
Muhammad Rasheed - Thank you so much for giving me your precious, high-dollar attention. It means a lot. <3
Mo'Nique (therealmoworldwide) - @Muhammad... LOVE YOUR WORK!
Muhammad Rasheed - Thank youuuu!

CITATION
Rasheed, Muhammad. "Fightin' Dirty." Cartoon. The Official Website of Cartoonist M. Rasheed 18 Oct 2020. Pen & ink w/Adobe Photoshop color.
Muhammad Rasheed - Even though Muhammad Ali’s punching power was such that the accumulation of vicious combinations enabled him to precisely time the rounds in which early opponents would fall, ending his career with an impressive 66% knockout rate, he isn’t formally considered a big puncher in the popular press for a few reasons:The “theater of the unexpected,” as the professional boxing game is fondly named, follows a loosely-scripted narrative driven by the sports press, not dissimilar to the more heavily-scripted one used within the professional wrestling circus. Composed of crowned favorite pound-for-pound kings, heroes and villains playing out their forced mythological dramas within the kingdom of the squared circle, the popular press not only determines the nature of the story itself, but the rules and metrics by which the athletes and their awesome skills and feats should be measured. In the case of which “theater actor” is considered a big puncher or not, for the most part the press reserves the quasi-arbitrary prestigious honor for those fighters who routinely knockout opponents with the stunning melodrama inherent by doing so with but a single blow, with some caveat.Even though the official sport of professional boxing is supposed to show two high-skilled athletes at the top of their game, battling to determine which is the best in a public demonstration of the ‘sweet science’ — the close combat fisticuffs art of inflicting punishment upon the opponent while receiving little to no damage in return — the ongoing scripted narrative of the press finds little worth in what is actually real. Illogically holding great disdain for the high level chess match between two technically proficient boxers, the storytellers prefer that the theater actors ignore the actual skills part and hope that they just get in there throwing wild haymakers, in what amounts to little more than a controlled drunken bar brawl. The theater plays for an unsophisticated audience that is mostly ignorant of the functioning of the ‘sweet science,’ so little credit is given to the superior abilities of an actual boxer (“All he did was run!” “He was so boring!”), to instead favor the idiot crowd pleasing, scar-faced, rough-n-tumble performances of the puncher . Muhammad Ali—with his ‘dancing butterfly’ style on an unmarred pretty face—of course, stood proudly as an example of the former.By its nature, the sport of boxing has always been heavily divisive on the socio-political level, with the cheering fandom enthusiastically choosing sides along neighborhood, state, national, ethnic and especially race-based lines. Driven completely by the economic monopoly of the white aristocracy, the mainstream sports press nearly always leans in the direction of boxing’s Caucasian figures, not only blatantly favoring them to win, but to uphold them as the preferred face of the heroes of the theater’s scripted tale. By default, the black American descendants of slavery boxers are the bad guys, or at best tolerated stand-ins for “real” champions as long as they adhere to the archaic Black Code jim crow era rules for “staying in their place” while representing America (see: Joe Louis; Floyd Patterson; Joe Frazier).
Along with this normalized prejudice against black fighters, comes the nigh-obligatory nit-picking of dominant black American champions to somehow prove how they aren’t reeeeally all THAT great (see: criticisms of Muhammad Ali; Floyd Mayweather, Jr.). Equally downplaying weaknesses and covering over the blaring faults of their white fighter counterparts to artificially elevate their manufactured “greatness” (see: Rocky Marciano; Arturo Gatti; Wladimir Klitschko), black fighters receive no such covering, and when they do miraculously receive well-earned honor begrudgingly from a scowling white press, it’s due to their literally triumphing over undeniably insurmountable odds that play out before the world according to the rules of the very melodramatic script the same press concocted in the first place (“Don’t hate the player, hate the game!”).
In short, Muhammad Ali isn’t considered a big puncher because he isn’t white and brand new rules were invented to dull his shine to keep the disappointed white fans — who are viciously uninterested in hearing the ballads of dominant black champions sang and much prefer to hear of the heroism of a Great White Hope in his place — from withdrawing their dollar. Know ye that if Ali were white, he would absolutely be considered a big puncher for his youthful ‘calling the round’ feats alone.

Humorous Confirmation Bias
Click for Artist's DescriptionCITATION
Rasheed, Muhammad. "Humorous Confirmation Bias." Cartoon. The Official Website of Cartoonist M. Rasheed 18 Oct 2020. Pen & ink w/Adobe Photoshop color.
Muhammad Rasheed - Although I've seen clips of it over the years, I never got around to watching the Boondocks tv show, despite initially intending to do so when I heard the early buzz. Skip-jump up to today and I'm not likely to follow up on that.
No one quotes and shares clips from that show more often than my white supremacist argument opponents and that's a problem to me. Remember, it was the "N1993rs vs Black People" bit that took Chris Rock into crossover super-stardom, but he later expressed regret for it because of how the delighted white racist community responded to it. The same for Dave Chappelle during a moment on his celebrated show when he realized he may have been irresponsible with some of the jokes based on how certain gleefully wild-eyed white people offset were laughing AT him and not WITH him.
It's pretty clear that the process of transforming Aaron McGruder's popular syndicated comic strip into the animated corporate product severely compromised it in the name of "universal appeal." For example, my latest white supremacist debate opponent even said that my Weapon of the People: DECODED editorial cartoons are shitty because they aren't "balanced out" and that I should "at the very least show some black people being jerks [to white people], like other black media has.“
"Universal appeal" in this case obviously means to pretend we live in a "post-racial" America and racial equality has already been achieved at all levels. Combined with the few clips I've seen where the Boondocks show took what I considered unfair potshots that I just 100% disagreed with and don't share the same opinion of, it means I'm not likely to develop the motivation to ever give that show a shot. Instead, I'll probably purchase collections of Aaron's old comic strip to show my support for his genius.
Jay Kelley - Now you've gone and done it...
Muhammad Rasheed - Ya love that show, do ya? lol
Jay Kelley - Yeah. That's why your piece hits so hard. I realize you're correct. I don't want to agree with you, but reason has a mind of it's own. God forbid it, but I think you're right...
Jay Kelley - But Rasheed, you have to admit the show has it's moments.
[VIDEO] Huey explains the prison industrial complex | YouTube
Muhammad Rasheed - I'm sure the show had great moments, just like it's impossible not to listen to that infamous bit from Chris Rock and not laugh. It IS funny.
I'm just saying that version of McGruder's vision just isn't for me.
Jay Kelley - I prefer the comic strip to the show.
FunqSir - @Muhammad... Never saw a full show of Boondocks either. I could tell from some McGruder interviews tho...that he was occasionally "lost at sea". He had "made it " in white media... and to borrow a baseball analogy couldn't throw strikes anymore. I'm sure other blk. celebs are there too.
Muhammad Rasheed - Yeah. That's why he started looking disheveled and developed an alcohol problem. Wrestling with Hollywood is apparently as stressful as being POTUS.
ados_warrior - Yeah I watched this show on its premiere date and never watched again.
