As someone who has followed Tariq since before the Hidden Colors series and someone who has supported his kickstarter campaigns as well as purchased items from his company, I will say this...In the beginning Tariq was 100% passionate about the knowledge that he shares. He was focused on black American empowerment, next he came up with his solution to the issues we as black Americans face. His ideas are legit but I feel that after repeating the same concept to groups of people where it seemingly falls on deaf ears judging by the lack of action taking place, the fire dims. I don't follow him as closely as I used to, and I don't watch his Ustreams anymore, I did take his idea on how to fix the problems we face and put it into action. So what I'm saying is take ideas and work them in your own life, don't focus so much on that man's flaws when you have plenty more. At least HE is doing SOMETHING for the betterment of the black American community.
