So a dude who launched a multimillion dollar independent film series promoting black history can't be inspiring? GTFOH with the hate. People are allowed to be inspired by whom they like.
Yes you can be inspired by whomever you like.

But again if you needed hidden colors to enlighten/inspire you, you were already behind the curve.

And if you have to pay your leader for inspiration there's an inherent problem :francis:

Everyone wants to be the go to guru with the answers to black problems.

Basic jealousy is the problem here

Shouldn't you be happy that those that may been behind the curve have been now forcefully propelled forward on a mass scale? Elitist nikkas like your self want to look down on others because they didn't take the exact same path to enlightenment as you did. The reality is, prior to hidden colors, knowledge of African history was limited in the African community. Since legendary scholars in the black community have been shunned by corporate media, and now via hidden colors are getting some shine. We should be happy the African knowledge is spreading further. Hidden colors is a part of that. Should be afraid to give props to Tariq for achieving that. Now if you know more engaging sources for knowledge that may be more engaging that Hidden colors, please share them.

I pretty sure Tariq specifically said he is not a leader nor wants to be one.

Well yes and no.

I think it's generally a good thing that he did. But I think his motivations weren't very pure. And honestly the info entailed wasn't anything new, and some of it wasn't even true.

So on one hand I'm glad people want to be enlightened, on the other hand I don't like the fact that people had to pay money to get the info that should be free, and then be fed false info.

It creates a legion of "woke" dudes who have a very limited understanding of the subject at hand, so they go on social media talking about "white supremacy" and "group economics" to criticize other black people without having a full understanding of the concepts in the context of history and current events.

c00ning for not buy timbos and taking advice from "The Mack" :francis:
Stop it man no one is sayin anything about Flex boots or macking. It's just this sort of passive aggressive "hate" i sense from some folks which seems odd. I fail to see how someone black is having problems with someone teaching black empowerment and putting out light onto topics which often get shunned by the general media.

His fans say he's leading.

He acts like he wants to be a leader.

That's that double(hustler) talk.

"Listen to my show, take my advice, pay me money, but I'm no leader can't criticize me"

"Buy some timbos:youngsabo:"

breh, his talk shows which have been free for years have loads of information. Why is suddenly making a documentary a problem?? This the shyt I don't get. Y'all don't say shyt about white motherfukkers making money off selling bullshyt but let a black dude create a product and sell it and suddenly all the suspicion arise e.g. "oh it's not genuine" etc.

So when he paid for the sister Dr Frances Cress Welsing it wasn't genuine. When he's donated/gave money to various folks in the struggle it wasn't genuine. Dog, sounds like u just hating.
and what false info? What info is false that's being fed?

The flex boots and making are part of him. That's what turns people away. Again think if a great leader of the past was selling boots to his followers. It's not a good look, it instantly makes you want to analyze his motivations.

And there is no "hate" or anything passive aggressive about what I'm saying. I laid it all out clearly and distinctly.

I'm in the middle on dude.. his fans are worse than he is, and that sometimes makes me have to down him, to make points when talking to them....


I listen to his show every week. sometimes it's good, sometimes i feel he pulling out his ass on a slow news week. I agree with some points, I disagree with others..

This is no different than any other person on earth.. from my boss, to my mother, to my friends, even my enemies.. some times i'm going to agree with them, sometimes i'm going to have to call bullshyt



The problem comes with threads like these.. "Explain to us what's bad and i'm going to expose you"

So let me get this straight.. this man who is not jesus, has some sort of flawless life and speech, that if anyone brings up any reason to dislike him or not agree, you're going to run in and not only tell them why they are wrong or shouldn't care... but you're also going to use that to "expose" them in some way as being either white or a c00n?



That type of shyt right there is just idiotic. I can point out faults in MLK and Malcolm and any other human being. nobody is all good.. but to ME:

I don't like his hustling approach THEN TELLING US IT'S FOR OUR OWN GOOD... if you gonna hustle, hustle. sell me some dvds and shirts and boots breh.. but don't wrap it around something as IMPORTANT as black issues in america..

Malcom, Martin, Farrakhan, etc wasn't selling me timbs. They gave the knowledge FREELY, because we NEEDED it... If you wanted to donate to the cause, it was voluntary.. not a demand.

Don't sell me on black empowerment while teaching young black men how to game up and pimp young black women... then double cross the same black men by teaching black women how to gold dig black men... then flip back and tell black men how to get out of being gamed by black women....

Imagine jesse jackson teaching you how to mack... imagine what you'd say about al sharpton dropping some timbs next week...


it just fukking bothers me... AND THAT'S IT



other than that.. I generally like the dude and his message. if that's grounds for exposure then so be it

Who have you seen praise everything about him? Of course people have things they may not like about him, as my personal one, how rude he is to male callers.

My not liking this about him doesn't cause me to fly in every Tariq thread bashing him for this when the subject isn't him being rude.

It doesn't cause me to fly in threads where people are appreciating something he's accomplished and tell everyone to go get a real father, get off his dikk, and all the other stuff people project.

No, what you guys are doing is something different. You come in his discussions with hate and dismissal.

Now for the exposal part...:ufdup:

In your own words you hate him capitalizing off his time and knowledge he packages to people. You think he should give it away for FREE.

nikka...what world you live in? Do you live in one where your food, shelter, expenses are FREE? What's wrong with this man making money providing a service or product people willingly buy?

Be careful how you answer because I'm intentionally placing the bait out here. The same way Tariq placed that tweet out there and the hit dogs hollered.

What is this "emotions aren't very pure" bullshyt. Half the shyt you own, the movies your watched, the bullshyt you bought, was designed, built and created by perverts, devils and monsters, and you have no problem supporting them. However, its tariq you give this extra scrutiny. Nothing but pure bullshyt. Hating nikkas you don't even know over some rumor bullshyt, especially when the dude is simply offering a product. He's not trying to be a saviour or your daddy or anything.

And i hope you apply this level of scrutiny to the owners of all the other shyt you've purchased.

what is the problem with a dude selling boots? You keep trying to push this narrative that he's a leader but he himself said many times he's not a leader. No one calls him a leader. Frankly speaking, this "leader" narrative always seem to come from his detractors. Tariq ain't no black leader. there's no need for a black leader just like there's no white leader or asian leader. You pushing a false narrative to try and hold your shaky points about a black leader's supposed image.

Sounds like @Mowgli hit the ball y'all nikkas sound jealous man. I hope you apply this same sort of critique and evaluation about the creators of products you own and frequently stan over in the arcadium.
