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

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

and that's the problem. i don't think he gives a fukk as long as he makes money from it.

You're ASSUMING he knows some of the stuff he's saying is wrong.

In the medical professional a lot of people don't even know enough to know that they're wrong about something.

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!!"

The funny part is that Tariq is cool with gay dudes. Far more than Umar or his contemporaries are.

It's not about that. This dude will go where ever there is a quick dollar to be made. Like @marcuz said, this dude had no problems with tommy sodomizer bashing black women. he didn't have an issue until tommy came at him. This dude don't care about black folks.

 

[Busted_Toes]

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 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.

He also collaborates with Black book stores around the country.


But these nikkas mad

The c00n is a fascinating creature

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.

so you are trolling.


and you actually believe that your the only black person that reads books.

And you're hating on nikkas for zero reason.

And you want to call black people lazy for zero reason.

And you don't understand why visual media is usually more effective when spreading information. aight.

Certain nikkas on here!!!

Why should he address someone who did nothing to him up to that point?

Tariq calls out character traits, not people.

Thats the difference.

Comparing the two is inherently flawed.

The communitiy benefits more from schools, teachers, doctors, group economics and a whole plethora of things besides a goddamn DVD. It's bewildering you can't grasp that.

I'm saying.

HC got does going to black book stores at an unprecedented rate not seen since the 90s in many instances and folks are out here talking this down.

I haven't seen an indie ethnic film do so much damage on such a widespread level before.

I got homies even mentioning that shyt who don't know I'm on here debating this stuff regular.

breh, let's keep it real here... as someone else in the thread said, a lot of folks aren't even going to bother to read a book about history after watching his documentary because they didn't before. they're basically using hidden colors as a source to be educated from. that's the problem. he's promoting it like that too.

I'm not hating on anyone. A library card is free. Black people read books but they're obviously reading the wrong ones.

Isn't that what Tariq advocates though?

Why are you mad at the medium and not the message?

Should he go around holding nikkas hands too?

I haven' heard anyone popularize the "black economics" mindset more than Tariq in the last decade.

Trust me.

NONE of these "academics" have so much as outwardly called out white supremacy on such a mainstream level has he has.

And? Not everyone who watched Jurassic Park went to the Smithsonian either

Whats your point?

Stop trolling.

Its 2014. You probable still got library fees from the early 2000s with this bullshyt.

Everyone has a smart phone and stays on wikipedia. If it takes Tariq dropping a few tidbits about lesser known black history in the US, then so be it.
