You fail to understand the Black Left.
And that has nothing to do w/ Umar failing to show his credentials, the whole question was in relation to where he went to school, his dissertation, etc. most academics are proud enough to have an accessible CV, and/or LinkedIn page w/ the info on it.
Umar hid it, for some odd reason.
All I know is “Dr. Ben,” was a charlatan who propped pan-African studies on his back, and lied extensively over his career, and I don’t want to throw my support behind any more of those weirdos.
i've said repeatedly that Umar is flawed, I don't go around in my private life saying shyt like
"the honorable dr umar says" or anything like that.
he's a man. man is flawed. man is fallible.
with that said, most if not ALL the nikkas i grew up around were
themselves dope dealers, womanizers, liars, thugs
and so were THEIR favorite rappers - men they looked up to and aspired to be.
<<< and this was as children/teenagers.
I'm an adult. I'm simply saying that Umar being out there - his MESSAGE aligns with MINE.
I concur with his beliefs - not his lifestyle. the same way a grown ass nikka in the hood concurs and adheres to the message of a drug dealing rapper
<<< this is seen as fine though.
and I understand the black left completely - the same black left that did this:
^^^^ gave a dude who got caught smoking crack in a hotel room while cheating on his wife a statue
let's not play games. the black left idolizes and deify's any negro that tows that line.
if you say, do, dance, echo, and worship that idea of what "black" is in 2017 (which has been outlined for you), you'll be rewarded.
go against it, and well...look at this thread.
