I Really Mean It
Veteran
Now that the ADOS movement is gaining steam, I've begun listening more to the collective of Youtube personalities who're credited with being at the forefront of this resurgent demand for reparations - Yvette, Tone, Jason Black, and PBT. I can't help but think that of much Tariq's content pales in comparison to theirs. I still find him entertaining, believing he could be a stand up comedian if he so chose that detour in his career, but I think his scholarship is lacking in a way that's become undeniable when placed next to the aforementioned streamers.
I think he's an important figure who's paired a hustler's spirit with a militancy that speaks much needed truths you don't often hear from the mouths of prominent black people. His reach and social media savviness is invaluable in our fight, which is why I wish he would adopt a more academic mindset and sharpen his presentation somewhat.
Or maybe the ADOS movement has just put a battery in the back of Jason Black, because that brother is extremely entertaining - while informative - nowadays, more so than I recall him being in the past year. I've only recently included Yvette in my listening tastes. I used to be turned off by her shrill personality, but I dig it. She's the truth. Professor Black Truth is still my goto guy. He's almost flawless in his delivery.
