Like i said many times... academic Blacks seem to have a problem with people who have a voice that don't match up to their credentials, no matter the message 

because we already know what's up.

Yes, I was in the Army. Joined in my youth when we often make our mistakes. Though I won't say my serving was a mistake. If I came out brainwashed and caring for white supremacy then yeah.
My time in the Army made me more militant and conscious. It showed me that even in the closest society we have to equslity, there's still racism.
We actually need more brothers to infiltrate the white establishment and find out how they function. As long as they maintain their blackness.
It's why white people have dominated, they research and find out how things work. They infiltrate and study our movements. If this were truly a militant site lol...we would already be lost because look at who a large part of our members are. Best believe if it hit the fan, those members would have all the Intel they need on us to give to tptb.
I didn't ask that, i said are you against Black economic empowerment? If he doesn't like Black feminists, so be it. Tariq has no problem with Black women though, just that small subset.Black misogyny.He is clearly against black feminism.
He is not "for," me so I am not "for," him.

Tariq isn't against black feminism on paper.Black misogyny.He is clearly against black feminism.

He's good for gaining an interest into getting in touch with your blackness and learning the rules of the game but you should move on to more reputable scholars with more academic credentials once you start getting more educated like Henry Louis Gates, W.E.B. Dubois, John McWhorter, Michael Eric Dyson, Melissa Harris-Perry, etc. A lot of them by themselves are dryer but Tariq makes it easier to understand where they all are coming from which makes it easier to get into their material and follow their writings.
I appreciate the fact that he instills in people black pride in an age where the cool thing to do is distance yourself as far as possible for any sort of black/African identity. I'm not saying you have to go ghetto/hood rat but you can appreciate African culture and still be a classy person. I don't really fukk with Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, they seem like useless talking heads and they never interest me.
Do you mind providing links or examples of black academics disparaging him? I've literally never seen anyone discussing him outside of the coli. I do know multiple people (including black academics) who have seen Hidden Colors and had nothing bad to say about it or him.
Additionally, from what I've seen quite a few black academics have been used in his documentaries.
It seems that y'all have issues with everyday people questioning the credentials of people who are attempting to educate them. Isn't that what you're suppose to do?
nikka gave up on commenting and jumped straight to "man fukk this"Stopped reading after this nonsense. Go elsewhere with this crap.
You obviously don't get out much.
Being that you replied to that you're not being truthful.I get out a lot actually.
More black dollars going to entertainment consumption, huh?Tariq doesn't claim to be authoritative or even educated, while Mr Umar Johnson does, which is why I don't mind Tariq. I do think that we need more educated Blacks taking Tariq's approach and polishing it into a better product for Black consumption.
