Imagine if c00nye West opened a small Art and Technology school (Donda West School of Performing arts or something) in Chicago. Admitted say 50-100 kids, also providing these kids internships for the summer via his industry connects, ultimately making students he could then hire down the line for his clothing company, but nahhhh this c00n wants to travel to Paris and complain about art kids out there not being skilled enough to work his line. Smh
Imagine if Beyoncé opened a school for girls in Houston, or Jay an all boys school in Brooklyn, the thing is white folks won't let this happen because it can shape the youth early and prevent them from being miseducated. i promise if you educate kids correctly during the elementary ages they can go to the worst HS in American and still be productive and succeed.

No! It was you nikkas that was comparing him to people like Harriet Tubman.
Please let me know who is out here trying to call Tariq the next black leader? We have a mention feature breh, name names or I'm calling
Im trying to pretend I'm surprised but i can't.

nikka the whole debate thing was only a suggestion. And no, that Mantan Moreland as nikka is not honest. He duped black folks into giving him their money so that he could make his phony ass pro-black high school horror film that only had like one or two black people in it.
He didn't dupe anyone into anything
He started a kickstarter campaign and people who support him funded it. Please show me all of those angry people who gave money to the Eugenist and is upset because they feel duped 
Tariq got tired of the bullshyt that the history channel always displays. So he decided to put together some documentaries with even MORE BULLshyt!
I'm only speaking for myself, but the impact hidden colors have had has been huge. When I went to Ferguson dudes were talking about hidden colors. On my drive to Ferguson I heard someone randomly mention it on some talk radio show I was listening to. I live in Atlanta and I'm constantly hearing dudes asking me if I've seen it and what I think. Even my fam in Cincinnati, Philly, and NYC talks about hidden colors. It's not a perfect series by any stretch of the imagination, but Tariq has reached more black people with that series than any of us had, and he did it without having to go to non black people to raise the money.
If you feel hidden colors is innaccurate or lacking in any area, by all means please create something that has the information you believe black people need to hear.
Breh, I work with multiple black organizations in Atlanta working to better the conditions of black people, and I constantly hear people say that DVD series was crucial in opening their minds and eyes and getting them involved. The group I'm working with most closely has already started teaching classes every Sunday and they've all said HC1-3 was a big part of them getting politically active.
You can say you disagree with parts of the film all you want, but Hidden Colors has had more of an impact on the black men and women I run into on a daily basis than damn near any other book or documentary in recent history.
As to the bolded, that documentary is helping black people's condition the same way JA Rogers book the World's Great Men of Color helped shift the image black people had of themselves back in the 1920's.
And I'm hoping you're not one of those dudes complaining about what Tariq is or isn't doing while you yourself haven't lifted a finger to help anyone in your own community.

how do you feel about black people always labeled to have a leader though. I know the reason for it but the media overuse to an extent where as to imply blacks need a leader as a whole. like they can't think for themselves in a sense.....

There's nothing wrong with having a leader. Some people are charismatic enough that they can capture the attention of the masses, and that's a good thing. The problem that we have is we want someone to be a leader because we're too scared, lazy, or just not interested enough to fix the problems in our communities.
Which is why dudes like Umar and Tariq, even though they're not perfect, gets my support because they're at least attempting to address the concerns that they see.
Personally one of the concerns I see is the lack of employable skills for black people, so I've taken it upon myself to teach IT certification courses to cats in the hood so that they can have a highly profitable career in IT. I'm not going sit back put the responsibility of correcting the problems that I see in my own community on Tariq, Umar, or anyone else. So I've decided to take a leadership position to address a problem I believe I can help fix.
Like I told @Drummage_EL it's one thing to be critical of what someone else is doing, but you damn sure better be doing your part to fix the problems in your own community.
I would like to say I'm surprised that this dude turned turned out to be a fraud, but unfortunately I'm not.
Still no school?
dontreadthis
philly.
The sad thing I realized about why more entertainers DON'T help is because the odds just aren't good with something like that. Too many bad apples looking to come up. You go to your school and have fights,fukk around, play games, sports etc....then go home to be back the next day without even thinking about it. If Kanye or one of these cats were to do something like that they'd get sued out the ass for even the most basic shyt. Could you imagine the shyt people would come up with to sue? LMAO!!!!
These dudes have a good game. They know black folks are wired into preachers and folks who make telling you whatever you want to hear very profitable. They sell words to hopeless people. People so desperate for hope they'll pay these dudes to show up and speak. They don't really even have to provide anything substantive you can use. Long as you feel good when they get done talking.
Seeing this thread again made think @Louisiana Fisher was unbanned, then I remembered that he was never banned and instead ran off.
Sup to whatever alias he's currently hiding under.
