Under what rationale, should Tariq Nasheed make a FREE documentary?

@ThreeLetterAgency, post a pic of your copy of Hidden Colors 4

should be asking yourself that

 

[Armchair Militant]

you know he makes more money off the books, right?

I don't know where his money comes from but I'm not surprised.

It ain't gotta be free
Sign a deal with Netflix or vice land or some shyt
Get a check and everybody who already got access to those services ,damn near everybody I know, would get it for "free"

Who the fukk buys individual dvds/blurays in 2017?

Since when is being pro Black some cash cow that can just be milked by any one?

Like seriously.. people really think being pro-Black is gonna make someone rich


you're far more likely to lose all your shyt and have a target on your back being pro-black

 

[Y2Dre]

Being pro-black is not a hustle, but hustlers can definitely exploit it.

In Tariq's case, he's an ex mack/pick up artist that turned pro-black because all that pimp cup shyt was played out. On Tucker Carlson he basically disowned his macking books, which he would probably do to his current pro-black work in the future if he ever moves on to his next lane.

He makes more money off the relationship shyt, he's turned down multiple mainstream looks on the relationship front to do the Black empowerment lane. He's LOSING money by doing the Pro Black shyt.

Let the Cac00ns tell it, being Pro Black was some ideological oil well that was just lying dormant waiting for Tariq Nasheed to find it

nikkas really think this?...

...Line some white supremacist wallets, but scoff at a brother creating a project of substance. Condemn him as a "race hustler".....that shyt reeks of misguided ignorance or jealousy

 

[MeltzerDirtySprite]

I don't think you know how that works

Considering I make a living off twitch and YouTube. I do know how it works.

Negroes really like being taken advantage of, I also don't appreciate being locked out of the thread for 1804. This is a forum where we should be able to give our opinion as long as we aren't calling people racial epithets or just being plain ole disrespectful. I spoke on Tariq Nasheed and I was censored but you have a thread where African Americans and North Africans said some horrible sh1t to one another and that was ok... Where were the mods for that thread?

Now... No one said he should do his docs for free... I used listen to Tariq Nasheed religiously every Sunday night until I realized he's an opportunist that treats his followers like hoes and he's the pimp. My issue with him is the fact that he's still group funding his documentaries and taking all of the profit when he's a success at this point and no longer needs to do that, if he ever needed to do it in the first place.

Let's say your cousin was a rapper and went to everyone in your family and got money to put out an album and it was an Indy success but he didn't pay you guys back or cut you in on the profits. Then he comes back to get money to put out a second album and that was also a success and then he starts shining and buying Bentleys and moves his family to a big ass house in the burbs. Then he comes back and says I need money to put out a third album, you would look at him like ...

He's on his fifth crowd funded documentary and that's taking advantage of people. He has also stated that there is no money in empowering black people multiple times and he knows black people have been systematically shut out economically but he comes with his hands out for us to fund his docs. He's also getting thousands per lecture, putting out Indy documentaries where he keeps every dime from the sales, he has merchandise, and he's a Youtube partner, he's acting like he's doing this philanthropic act when he's most likely made a million + off of the Hidden Colors franchise .

Then when people asked him why he didn't atleast get black people to help film his documentary, he goes off about how black people don't know wtf they're doing and threw Hype Williams under the bus and said Belly was poorly shot. That's not pro black at all... I'm done but there are more instances of him being a fraud.

Basically...

You're not going to flip my money and count the profits in my face, give me a poster, and ask me for more money to flip.

He's no better than Eddie Long and the rest of those pulpit pimps.

Since when is being pro black taking money you don't need from black people to fund a project and keeping every penny? Y'all hate preachers but he's doing the same thing.

He's Mr. pro black but he sure does live around white people, he has a mutt wife, and he loves shytting on his callers calling them bums and dusty.

I don't have a problem with him making money, my problem is that I understand he's doing a Fundraiser for this Haiti doc.

I don't understand that. He's not giving a portion of the proceeds back to the people in the form of community owned businesses/programs etc. Are those who donate getting a percentage of the profits?

Nah. See that's sucker shyt to me. Hustler shyt. Don't court investors, but look for donators on the strength of the racial angle....but he keeps all the money. His films have been successful enough that he should be able to fully fund his own films. It's not like what he's doing is expensive.

I wished I'd read your post before I made mine. I agree 1,000,000%

This is what I struggle with, and honestly I think this is at the root of my skepticism with Tariq. Racism continues to exist because of capitalism. It legitimizes the burdens of capitalism (unequal distributions of income, poverty, unemployment, etc.). All of the inconsistencies that result from a system we are told is the road to prosperity. A system we are told is completely fair, and honest. But it isn't. Race has been repurposed by capitalism by sectioning off people into intrinsically different subgroups that those who defend capitalism can then explain why they benefit, and why others are burdened by it. Race is then blamed as the factor responsible for these unequal distributions rather than the capitalist system, itself. So its difficult for me to see someone like Tariq using race issues in a similar way these employers, politicians, academics and journalists would to make money. All under the guise of black empowerment. He just seems like another leech, to me. A parasite feeding off of a corrupt system that disenfranchises the very people he's claiming he is trying to help.

You signed up in Nov 2016 with the rest of the stormtrolls. Any points you have to make are moot
