so there was a proposition on the California ballot about rent control but Tariq didnt vote.

[CoryMack]

Some of you guys forget that he's a multi millionaire living in a safe white gated community. The things that affect the lives of normal black people are of no worry to him or his family so of course he doesn't see the value in it. He's an online preacher and the tithes are all of his crowd funded ventures. He's no better than the people that he calls himself going in on.

Over in another thread we have a situation where a wealthy "white" area in Georgia was voting to separate from the Blacks and form their own city. They lost during the election. At least that's how the thread was presented. So of course the cry was racism.

Later it comes out that there are so many Black people in the area proposing to separate that they would make up the majority in the new city "the whites" are trying to form. They're either staying silent, or they're in agreement with it.

Group politics and bloc voting will only work among the lower classes, because the middle and upper classes will mostly always vote according to their individual economic interests first and foremost. The lower classes may have more numbers to possibly influence an election, but they don't have the resources to mobilize before the election to make sure they're getting the best info so they're voting for their best interests, and they certainly don't have the resources to follow up and hold any candidates to any promises they might've made when they come begging for the Black vote.

He profit off of black folks pain and suffering he tell y’all not to vote so when trump get in office he can have content he have no real plans about shyt. Black folks getting killed I got a movie for that black folks neighborhood getting gentrified I got a hidden colors coming fukk him he is a idiot a black man said that.

 

[saturn7]

But it wasn't rent control for only black tenants, so fukk it

"What has rent control ever done for black folks?"

 

[ReadOneBookAWeek]

And no matter what you call him he has more influence and supporters than you.
And there's nothing you can do about it. You're vote shaming tactics won't prosper

ONLY THE DEMOCRATS CAN SAVE US

I can usually tell who does and who doesnt listen to tariq when he does his podcasts.

The first 5 minutes is all ads and 'get your mink slide tickets and hidden colors dvds'

And almost like clockwork he finds a way to mention his DVDs, lectures or his music, or his other podcasts.

He only ever quotes neely fuller and claude Anderson. He often forgets names, stumbles with trying to find sources for his claims while he's on air.

He will only have suggestions if they are linked to him. He will not endorse any black politicians, and rarely talks about anyone who he respects. He doesn't even have guests on his shows anymore.

This does not mean he is not intelligent, doesnt know how to debate or doesnt have good ideas but he is not someone who will do something if he is not going to get paid. He isnt and has never claimed to be a role model or leader of any kind. He is not the person you look at to take political advice from. When he beefs with someone he gets petty and you can hear his tone changing as he gets emotional instead of just calmly dismantling his opponents with facts. He is first and foremost an entertainer and businessman. He will call people c00ns or dusty or hood rats but not try to reprogram them. He is more concerned with calling out shyt than spending time and money to work with people to fix it, because again he wants the spotlight all to himself.

Yall need to understand that he has knowledge and facts but he is not someone on the same level as a malcolm. I still listen to dudes podcast but yall need to stop acting outraged like you're expecting anything other than what he is.

 

[1thouwow]

if y’all owned or mortgaged property y’all wouldnt be begging for rent control

 

[the cac mamba]

Funny because the proposition actually got shytted on by the voters

because they're fukking stupid

who would vote against rent control besides landlords :mindblownj: and what percent of people are landlords, like 5%?

 

[Higher Tech]

Tariq is rich. He don't give a shyt about what yall pay for rent.

Landlords had a $80M campaign against the proposition

 

[SuperNintendo Chalmers]

You all keep making this nikka more relevant than he already is with these constant threads.

 

[Fatboi1]

Why do y’all care sohh much about everything Tariq says.

If y’all want to vote then vote if you disagree with him not voting then keep it movin. I just don’t get y’all sometimes

They build this nikka Tariq up to be some sort of leader in their minds just to find something they disagree with to point fingers at.

No matter how eloquent or articulate the ones who chastise him are, it still boils down to that nikka got point blank period.

 

[King of Creampies]

99% of the coli members weren't posting on forums then
U went to school with this 50 year old nikka or something?

Lying ass cac

Tariq was on JJ and writing books way back then.

MOST black people know of this....especially older.

So...I am very curious about your statement?

How old are you? Seriously no disrespect.

 

[Strapped]

I'm just glad prop 7 passed so we can get rid of daylight savings time bs

 

[ReturnOfJudah]
