He's not perfect, but where does Tariq Nasheed stand with you as a black voice in the media?

he straight up said that he made hidden colors for people that basically are ignorant and don't like to read.

And your problem with that is?

Also that statement doesn't equate to people that watched the documentary are ignorant and don't like to read, which your accusing everyone who supports the movie of.

Hold up now.

I pride myself on knowing and searching out knowledge of a lot of stuff...and while I have problems with various aspects of the HC films, to pretend that they didn't encourage me to even validate or debunk or challenge various claims he made is an outright lie.

Yes, the melanin-supremacist theory lacks evidence. Yes his investigations on the dangers of organ donation do veer a little too much on the side of conspiracy. Yes his notions about AIDS aren't well founded...but a lot of what else he's talking about ISNT bullshyt and he's sparked more dialogue about controversial and little known TRUE history than more people have before and after him.

And generationally, this matters. Dudes aren't reading books from the 70s again.

Cosmos just got remade for 2014 from a version done 30+ years ago.

Why can't Tariq do it?

No one is saying he can't do anything like that.

But to compare the nikka like he's Nat Turner is just pathetic.

When gay truly becomes the new black I expect Tariq to hop on that wagon as well.

and this goes by my point. if tariq basically is putting shyt like this in his dvds, then it calls into question the reasons behind why he's making it. if he genuinely cared, he wouldn't put any bullshyt that would make it look like some bs. he doesn't care though as long as he gets paid.

and see... this is exactly what i'm talking about. tariq loves guys like you.

Tariq's information wasn't evne 100% correct but I definitely learned a few things from those documentaries and thats the point.

Even the way its filmed is encouraged people not to soak up everything but to use them as points to google random tidbits of info and build on that.

Its very spastic and list-like...but thats the goal.

exactly.



Who says that black men don't educate themselves when motivated? Most groups aren't in the library, especially poor people. Why create a book when you can reach more people with visual media?
Are you trolling?
Tariq didn't have to make these DVDS... who knows maybe he could have made more money being a c00n who hates on Any black person who is trying to spread knowledge......or maybe he could be a pimp.
People hear things from others, movies, the internet, etc... thats sometimes makes them research further.... how is what Tariq doing 'culture vulturing when the shyt he kicks is a sub group of a sub group of our culture.... this type of shyt isn't even popular with the masses.
Breh I got a library card for free. Back in school when I'd be in the library studying the other black kids would be there for the free AC and to disrupt the good kids. Stop defending laziness.

Its because he doesn't know any better.

Dudes who don't know they're wrong clearly don't know.

He's not a scientist so he doesn't understand why some of his theories on ebola aren't true...but his commentary on social engineering and black history is VERY much supported and substantiated.

Are you mad at discovery channel too? Cause last I checked, documentaries were to provide cursory investigations, not primary ones.

That's why @Paz is mad at him. This is all about Gay Black men not being included in his movies.

"What about me??!? Gay Black men aren't being represented!!"

and that's the problem. i don't think he gives a fukk as long as he makes money from it. he acts as if that shyt is supposed to help folks when he's basically doing the same shyt even worse.

Dudes are really proving my point in here.

Where is Al Sharptons documentary? Where is Jesse's? Where is Marc Lamont Hills? Where is Melissa Harris Perry's? Where is Boyce Wakins? Where is Corny :troll: Wests?

Tariq is out here CROWDFUNDING (essentially engaging people) in the promotion of their content and information.

Of course it could be done better, but no one else is doing it.
