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

[Busted_Toes]

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?

What credentials does he need to talk about race issues? Not everyone is going to go the college route. This isn't college, it's a documentary/movie.

Being that you replied to that you're not being truthful.

Considering the fact that you know absolutely nothing about me or my life, you aren't qualified to judge my truthfulness or lack thereof. Thanks for playing.

This Asian dikk loving bytch came out of nowhere.

More black dollars going to entertainment consumption, huh?

Education as entertainment is fine by me.

He doesn't necessarily need credentials to talk about race issues (because he has lived experienced), but when it comes to the history, sociology, and theory related to those issues discussed, yes, I would like to hear that from someone who has studied it extensively. I'm not sorry about that.

Considering the fact that you said "this isn't college, it's a documentary/movie," why do you think it included actual academics? Why do you think just about every documentary includes people who have actually studied the topic in a substantive way?

I get out a lot actually.

Stop expecting the cacs you move with to suddenly break out into conversations about Tariq Nasheed and Umar then. When you make a statement like "no one in real life discusses Tariq or Umar" you just expose the shallow circle you move with. Any black person worth their existence should always be focusing on group economics and ways we can improve out situation in the black community, something both these brothers are about. If you think having a dismissive attitude towards brothers working to uplift black people the world over is the way to progress, then clearly the problem is with you and not the message.

Also, why didn't you answer my question (and had the audacity to delete it from my quote)?

Who are all of these academics that bash him?

When was the last time you voluntarily attended a lecture hosted by one of these so called "respected" intellectuals?

First of all, I never said no one I know discusses Dr. Umar so idk why you MADE UP that quote when you could have just used my actual quote. I do know people who have talked about Dr. Umar. I clearly said that I don't know anyone outside of the coli who has ever discussed Tariq Nasheed and I don't.

Secondly, group economics did not originate with those two individuals; therefore, it's hella presumptious and quite hilarious to think that just because you don't discuss Tariq Nasheed that you don't focus on, discuss, or care about group economics or improving the black community.

Did your entire life start when you began following youtube gurus? Is that when you started caring or knowing things about your community?

Not everyone is like you sweetie.

 

[Max Power]

There's no point even tryna reason with these agents tbh.

 

[El Bombi]

On the real, Tariq be better off if he would ignore Sotomoisture and Feminikka all together.

They are using Tariq to make themselves more popular. Tariq should just charge these internet trolls to the game.

Cornell West and MPH this past school year (and this was in a very, very, very small college town). I can actually turn on the tv and see MPH on a regular basis.

Considering that I just moved to a city where a host these "respected intellectuals" work and live, I expect to do it fairly regularly.

So you think if you did a cost-benefit analysis of black people spending their money on infotainment of sketchy accuracy, the money spent will be outweighed by the appreciable real work capital that is spurned from inspiration by said infotainment. Wow.

Black feminists

Don't worry gurl... you'll get that White man and you'll live in a beautiful cottage, in swirl bliss. I believe in you, you can do it

Nothing about black feminism means you're for white men. It's really sad that is what a number of black men on here think.In my opinion, based on the current state of the black community, black feminists are going to ruffle the feathers of some black men.I don't think there is anyway to avoid it because there are some issues black women face because of black men...& black men can't face that.

Being against feminism doesn't make you a misogynist

But he's both.

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.

I am definitely not against black economic empowerment but I am against him.Him being for black economic empowerment is not going to compensate for his whole general stance.

What black misogyny? Tell me more about this black feminism? I don't understand your views again black men.

So no matter how much he stands up for the black community you diss like everything about him.

If you want to know more about black feminism.I suggest reading into it.Read some of Bell hooks books,etc.& I don't care or him.He is not a voice I would tune into.I think he is sexist and inconsiderate from what I've seen and heard from him.

Tariq isn't against black feminism on paper.

He supports equality and access and all those lofty goals.

What he's against is black feminism being used to further white supremacist narratives: Look at the street harassment campaign.

They were initially pursuing legislation to charge black men with CRIMES for street harassment in addition to laws that already exist.

I didn't really read into this street harassment campaign when it was going on but I'm pretty sure charges weren't going to be just against black men (but men in general).& I don't see how restraining street harassment furthers white supremacist narratives.
