Umar Johnson is an educator from Philadelphia he came on the scene in the conscious community in the early 2010 talking about propaganda against black boys in the educational system in the school-to-prison pipeline

He was pitching this idea of a pan-african school for education for young black boys that would have been privately owned and tuition debased and he has been peddling this idea for a decade now with nothing to show for it except three foreclosed buildings and through living off the donations of so many black folks that believed in the idea like a bum.

hotep hustling idealist with no business sense takes on a loafty goal of building a school for all Black children using crowd funding... constantly invoking the memory of several prominent Black leaders and ancestors to position himself in their lineage... literally even claiming to be a descendant

Eventually fails spectacularly to deliver on his promise after many rounds of funding and appears to have lost his home and sanity in the process

the details are basically about bad planning and mismanagement of the dollars

Nooooooo! This is so sad because he’s right about the school-to-prison pipeline for black kids. But if this is really what he did, he made it harder for others to get support!!!!

Classic case of right message, wrong messenger. He talks a good game but he's as shady and scandalous as it comes.

he was right about a lot of the problems. he just wasn't necessarily equiped to handle them. a lot of his debacle seems to be down to his ego. taking on too much and perhaps even using some of the money for himself. I think a lot of people who end up being scammers in this arena start out with good intentions but once they touch that money it's hard for them to be accountable or stay focused on the initial goals.

the money is not gone and he is not scammming anybody. ya'll just don't want to get off mr charlie plantation.

I'm going to pray for you man. it's obvious umar doesn't know what he's doing but somebody like you still wants to keep the faith and that would be admirable if it wasn't so depressing given the fact he's done everything to the opposite to gain our trust.

What are you going to say or what will you eventually say when Umar reveals that he is no longer in possession/ownership of the school because it's been auctioned off?

The guy just lies and lies and lies and he's so caught in a Web of Lies that he can't get out at this point it would have just been more beneficial to himself and his followers and just be honest and say the truth.

there are 47 university of islam schools across the country. 40 percent of the students are non muslim. try harder

So those 47 schools were made by volunteer labor in the 70's?


Or are you just going completely off track from the topic at hand.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

I never followed this brotha. Can somebody give me cliffs on what happened? I have similar goals and if I can get some insight into where he needed support, it would be helpful.

You want to scam black women whilst talking about abusing children?

Oh, those 47 schools were built by volunteers in the 30's?

I’ve been saying that this nikkas was a hustler back in 2015 and I was getting called c00n, getting negged. This nikka really ran off with that money and has NOTHING to show for it. Last time I checked that nikka had 200k donated. Probably spent that shyt on oddly built prostitutes

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Should have taught himself carpentry, and basic construction to get the buildings in shape
I can't understand how he didn't get the cost of running a school - he was a principal

It’s clear he thought more people would donate more money as shyt progressed.

I can hear the dreams already.... “Oh they say I’m scamming. I’m gonna beat this case, buy that school and they’ll see I was real. Then the black rich folk across America gonna throw me checks to see it happen. And those without money just gonna show up and help for free. Watch”

you mean just like the ujima schools in brooklyn was shut down because brothers dont't want to fund their liberation

 

[GreenGhxst]

Umar just needs to get his shyt together and come with something more solid

He just hasn't seemed focused, there's people that still fukk with him so all is not lost

He's still a great speaker too, his value is still there but it's useless because he isn't applying it for good

 

[DaRealness]

LOL a lot of us were somewhat fooled by him, but since his decline started like 6 years ago the veil was lifted and the cat is totally out the bag at this point. Dude fell all the way off. He was a totally different person when I first started listening to him a decade ago and had so much potential. It's sad but it is what it is.

Others already said what I mentioned before - at best he may have had good intentions but he got in way over his head and is too proud to admit he fukked up. At worse he was always just another slick talking, snake oil salesman with the gift of the gab like most of these 'conscious' clowns.

There's no coming back for him cos his credibility has been shot to hell a million times over. No one is gonna take him seriously again. He wanted to be the main black messiah so bad and it backfired on him.

Lenon Honor is a fukking obsessive weirdo though, man.
