this doesn't prove it's official

my man could've been walking thru an abandoned school

im just saying breh, I don't trust Umar, what's the address g

:manny:

can't trust a grown man who pretends to be on the phone with goons in his late 30s


I'm an umar supporter because his arguments and beliefs stretch much further than that of a school

however if he is just walking through a school for optics, i'm gonna have to fall back on the support :snoop:

Also that moment with the phone was indeed crazy looking, but the man flubbed trying to be fake, he clearly ain't good at it. I don't see that as a character flaw :manny:

Franchise model actually lowers the cost of private school, plus when you remove unneccessary admin fees and you move higher education into the same package where it can be self contained all black pro black, you can create a education infrastructure that is cheap, and high quality, K - Undergrad
The franchise model he uses has quite a few caveats you're missing out on:
Thales schools also have no auditoriums because they're too expensive to build, heat, and cool.

Another savings is on personnel. There's no cafeteria, and thus no cafeteria staff. There are no school buses, and thus no school bus drivers. There's also hardly any support staff, and fewer actual teachers. Thales targets a teacher to student ratio of about 26 to one, compared to one teacher for every 15 kids in North Carolina's traditional public schools.
Less teachers, less facilities, less space, less administration, and it still gets a multi-million dollar loan from the Luddy guy when its opened.

He also excludes kids with any kind of disability.
This model is the exact opposite of what is needed for Black students in the US.

They don't pander their donations to pro-Black people.
People have been consistently and openly clowned for e-begging for the last 5-6 years.

The thing about Catholic schools is that they are already up and running, with generally fairly large alumni bases.

Although I feel like you're being a naysayer and want to see Umar fail, you raise a legitimate point which is, how will this school be able to run?

There is a reason a large majority of private schools in the U.S. are religious based, it's because they are funded by the Church, who are funded by the people through tithing, and since this school is not affiliated with a religion that is a disadvantage.

Because he does not want public funding this school will have to find a way to get money besides donations.
:jbhmm: But if you look at the entire video Dr. Umar speaks about opening a farm and stuff, so he may have some plans up his sleeve.


Regardless I'm supporting the dream..cause even if the nikka fail, the man tried....and that's enough to gain my respect for life.

:hubie:

better than yall internet nikkas who talk shyt, but in real life aint done shyt for the Black Race. :usure:

That's entirely possible.
In fact, its likely.
But do you honestly think there are enough Black parents with the income to send their kids to that school, close to that school?

He's not opening this up in PG County, or Baldwin Hills, or Atlanta or Chicago.
With a small student population you have to greatly increase the tuition. So its either further exclude Black students (for a comparison, the Barrie School in Silver Springs is about $33k/year for 313 students), get a continual stream of large donations, or become a charter/specialised private school.
Don't know, breh. I don't have that kind of information:manny:

I donated to Piney Woods and I’ve donated to Grambling.
Two Black schools already in existence.
Please don’t “holier than thou me,” I continually do real-work for the Black community even as a law student.

And I don’t care about him succeeding or failing, I want to see the improvement. I just want to see more action than talk. And he’s the opposite.

...now he just has to raise money to renovate, buy supplies, and pay the salaries of administration....

imagine he gets enough money for all that...but runs out of money halfway through the year...

those kids are going to rely on random donations to not have to repeat a grade if their school is bankrupt....

those teachers are going to have to rely on random donations to pay rent....

we need to see a solid plan and an actual dollar figure for what it takes to run the school....

right now this is just fyre festival hotep edition

EDIT:

long but worth a view if you want to see what's sus about dude
