Term has only trivial mentions, I couldn't find anything better. Doug Weller talk 12:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Tariq Nasheed who appears to be the originator and proponent of this. Don't see it mentioned in any other context. —DIYeditor (talk) 12:25, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Tariq Nasheed - This is a trademark term invented and owned by Nasheed. ("FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS Trademark Application of NASHEED, TARIQ - Serial Number 97309615 Justia Trademarks". trademarks.justia.com. JUSTICA Trademarks.) The media outlets jumping on the bandwagon and using the term to appear politically correct, does not change the fact that Nasheed invented the term. And stands to gain financially every time the term is used. — Maile (talk) 14:27, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to American Descendants of Slavery as everytime I find this mentioned ADOS is also mentioned, and ADOS is the more common term. Redirecting to Tariq Nasheed would also be acceptable. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:41, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Tariq Nasheed as viable alternative to deletion per above. Sal2100 (talk) 21:55, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
