The Honorable Dr. Umar Johnson has finally got the HVAC system restored.
- Thread starter Brolic
- Start date
The school might finally open in 2030, Inshallah.
Now he just needs volunteers for painting day, cleaning day to clean the bathrooms, or furniture day to move the furniture in before the grand opening.
Don’t all sign up at once
I mean, man. I don’t even know. I don’t know what to say
I’m saying until a single black kid is taught one thing this is all hotep horseshyt
Wait the TEACHERS will have to volunteer as well?!

I gave you a list of actual criticisms that would apply regardless of the intent of the building and I don't recall ever saying that he was scamming/robbing people. Dude has SERIOUS logistical issues that need to be addressed before these abandoned buildings can even be considered an actual school.
Saying 'all he has to do is get funding from the State ...really not that hard' belies your ignorance of the process involved in securing said funding. Has Umar even applied to the State of Delaware for assistance as a non-profit organization? Has he written a detailed proposal to the State completely outlining the goals of the organization? Does he have a Grant writer or is he undertaking that labor himself in order to save several thousand dollars? Does he have any idea how to generate a revenue stream from the school? Is the funding to be recurring or episodic? Does he have a Board of Directors to oversee said funds and report to the State monitors on a timely basis? Does he even have an account at grants.gov and current Central Contractor Registration?
Hell, I'm forgetting a few more requirements, but I think you get the general idea.
It is, indeed, a process and can take months if not years. He's already taken 9 years to get this far, which is a cool achievement, but to my knowledge, NONE of the things I'm suggesting above has been addressed by Umar in ANY capacity during those 9 years. I may have to check through his site and social media accounts to see if that's the case, but if they have, I'm sure a lot of the flack he's been taking from his detractors would subside.

Imagine the hijinks that'll ensue within those vents once Umar throws on the handyman outfit as a silent homage to Bookman

Ain’t enough white women candles and single mothers in the world to get that school open
The HVAC is finished
“What can they say now?”
Haters gonna say it’s been 10 years but so what

Nothin wrong the school

This entire time the school been abandoned not one window boarded up or junkyard dogg ass chains on doors

On every 2nd or 3rd Saturday across the street from the school the community have a big ass yard sale .. u pay a small fee set up ya table and sale ya shyt
Desoto police department across the street too
Literally 2mins from the school it’s a spot filled with nothin but black businesses right side of the street African beauty shops black barbershops and a tutoring spot
Across the street a black market filled with a couple of businesses
Perfect spot .. he has followers in dfw when he came to Duncanville they were tellin him about the school
He told them he good .. he got something brewing in Wilmington
One dude was like nikka all u gotta do is get the lights on and paint
He could get a sba funding n a grant to cover everything and get 3k-5k every yr for the school
Dude told him it’s plenty of resources the guy was on city council in desoto and he was givin him a heads up that the school was closing its doors .: n he could have got in on it
It got no insider info than that this was when Umar was claiming he was gettin St. Paul College
It was a video on Umar Twitter n the guy literally said his name and if Umar remembered him he said yea and asked why struggle to get ends for the school in Wilmington
When u have resources from the state of Texas for the desoto school everything literally handed to u
nikka said the same shyt he told jamar .. he doing it his way he don’t need help n backdoored it askin for donations
From that time to now
Vs him gettin a a couple of thousands to have a company to change the sign to whatever design he wanted for the digital sign he got a flea market ass banner
It’s been a fire .. he took the boards off the windows 57mins later .: windows boarder back up somebody broke in
He scrapped the metal from the ol hvac units for the trip to Japan
He painted a rock
He spotted a rock (smoker it)
He moves in durin the fall
He moves out durin the summer
He’s there Everytime time the city does an investigation/inspection
Fire department there to upgrade the alarms and smoke detectors
He’s there on the outside sayin he is gettin top of the line security
Doin all this shyt n desoto right there waitin
Then u realize he goes the long and the wrong way because he don’t want a paper trail
It's like every thread title about this dude is a synopsis of another episode of "The Umar Johnson Show" that you'd read in a TV Guide back in the day
"HELP! HELP! WE NEED A DOCTOR! IS THERE A DOCTOR HERE??!"
"Really? Do you have credentials? You're an actual doctor, right?"
Can’t afford painters, took this long to get HVAC, how he gon make payroll every 2 weeks for a full staff?
With your lifelong donations of course.

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Asking for the donors to travel on up and paint the school, good lord
How else will these single mothers get these young sons some discipline and skills
By helping literally build the school they'll attend they will be more motivated to attend and take care of the facilities
INSTALLING Drywall and Flooring will INSTILL a deep sense of pride

Dude looks like a 7% slimmer Questlove
Kinda sucks, cause the most important thing to figure out would be the curriculum and how the students interact with the environment and each other. I know a building is important, but maybe he could have started smaller and expanded. At least he'd have students already9 years later and that bytch STILL ain’t open
nikka could have been had one or two classes rolling by now
