African Descendants of Slavery. The Me Too movement has a Wikipedia article and so does Black Lives matter. Which are similar to African Descendants of Slavery. Adjoajo (talk) 21:37, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

African Descendants of Slavery.

All Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter, Me too movement, Black Lives Matter movement they all have Wikipedia articles. Adjoajo (talk) 22:04, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let's stay on topic

Reminder that his is a page about an organization. It should not attempt to cover the borader topic of reparations for slavery, we have articles that do that. This article needs to be about this ORG and its notable activities. And it needs to be written using WP:SECONDARY sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:31, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

During edits please remember to keep the history portion in tact. It describes the lineage which is the core of the org's advocacy. If we need to go full historical researcher mode and make a *separate* page to go in depth about the American DOS lineage (using hard facts heavily referenced) maybe that could be our next step.

NPOV

Reads like it's written by the organisation, fails to suggest it's anti-immigration.[1] More or less needs a complete rewrite. Doug Weller talk 17:35, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Page Errors

There are a several issues with this page. It is being used to smear rather than explain ADOS American Descendants of Slavery. 1) It fails to mention that cofounder Antonio Moore wrote for several years for left leaning economic think tank Institute For Policy Studies through their site Inequality.org Link https://inequality.org/authors/antonio-moore/ All while having information about Carnell that is both incomplete and inaccurate.

In addition it cites to NY Times article by finding every negative claim but omits the overall content of the article and any positives. It should include both positives and negatives or none.

As an example the page says Ann Coulter supports ADOS. When the text of the Times article only says she wrote a tweet. That has no place on the description page as if she funded, promoted or is in leadership of ADOS which she does not it was one tweet which says the name should be changed. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/08/us/slavery-black-immigrants-ados.html Here tweet was a direct attack and request to change our name and was only this single tweet. Why would it be on a wikipedia describing the group. Full Coulter Tweet Tariq: I like #ADOS, but I think it should be #DOAS - Descendants of American slaves. Not Haitian slaves, not Moroccan slaves, etc. Truthsayer21 (talk) 07:43, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
