Another Tariq thread from OP. :unimpressed:

How many ADOS or Tariq threads are going to be made everyday. :unimpressed:
Come on breh... the man had so many threads on here the mods had to merge em into a giant "Official Tariq Nasheed Thread' :mjlol: What is it that makes y'all think he wouldn't catch smoke too? :dead:

Interesting that he did donations instead of the traditional startup method of fundraising thru VC :unimpressed:
There are a lot of black tech investors now like Nas, KD, and others
Did he approach anyone in Silicon Valley if his goal was a social media platform?
Donations require no due diligence and force no accountability, having the guidance of VC could have helped him since their money would be at stake and they have the resources to hold him accountable

We already have examples of this, they are called:

The Root
Very Smart Brothas
Huff Post Black Voices

VC dollars is dominated by White people and if you think these rich White people are going to bankroll a site talking about Black empowerment you are out of your mind. VC backed social media like YouTube is actively silencing voices of Black empowerment. When you take VC dollars, they own the product not you...why would we want rich white dudes having a stake in what we can communicate and how? When’s the last time you watch BET?

Don't Tariq also have the first them website? If I remember correctly he also takes donations on there as well.
