Tariq is just one man, though. Even he, with all of his vanity, knows that he can't effect any meaningful change on his own. He is trying to sow seeds of awareness, speaking about issues in a frank and direct way that other black "advocates" never do, always making sure to counter the lies that the white supremacist media and its contingent of black bootlickers peddle when they're trying to frame anti-black racism in a way that doesn't threaten the white supremacist status quo. Tariq deserves nothing but respect for what he's managed to achieve in just a few years, when it comes to combating the myths of white supremacy that many black people unwittingly accept as truth. And he's managed to make a lot of money from his movement. So what? Would you take him more seriously if he was some homeless vagabond who broadcast his shows during the free slots his local CCTV offered him?
I hear what you are saying but let's keep it real, a lot of people look up to america which is the most influential place media wise in the world.
Despite all the flaws this country has, everybody living here wants to fit in and many are enamored with all these flashy things in our faces which is enticing and blinding so many people.
We aren't stuck up like a lot of countries even our next door neighbors canada don't like to share their shyt with just anyone, you got to go through hell to assimilate as a foreigner over there.
We need to keep it real, a lot of people just want a piece of the pie and they don't mind not getting any power, they are cool with crumbs man.
But american society is pretty much playing mind games with us by dangling a piece of meat in the air and daring us to grab that shyt. They are challenging us but a lot of us keep on backing down and want that peace and harmony bullshyt.
