You make good points but I think you're kinda overthinking it about Tariq
Tariq is gonna do what most people who see something to exploit to do and that's exploited.
I don't fault him for making buck off people who feel they're not getting their share of the pie, lower class will always be mad at the upper class. I think the real problem we have as black folks is we need to be separated by class a bit more.
We'll probably be better following a chinese system than dealing with a capitalistic society like America since this Tariq issue is one of the casualties of "freedom" everyone doesn't qualify for the same shyt.
Truthfully ADOS should be completely behind the scenes composed of high profile lawyers and politicians and people of power demanding equality, the fact the everyday black man and woman is involved is a failure within itself.
We need way more government, not less to truly fix black issues and that's gonna come from limiting and stopping certain groups from engaging in certain activities.
Tariq is just a dude exposing the system to get paid lol, it's ain't that deep. He ain't the problem, the system being broken is the problem.
Thanks -- and I agree with some of your points. But, I'm not overthinking Tariq.
This is about morals, respect, connected upbringing and self-love. Tariq appears to lack them all.
He is a major problem. This is a GROWN ass man who influences many younger and sadly older Black men (women) GLOBALLY.
Those ADOS who gave him a chance should have known Tariq was loyal to NO ONE - look how quick he switched up on his large African and Caribbean followers who have been supporting him for decades.
As I mentioned in my post - what person who respects and values their people -- encourages additional terms/SLURS (since the N-Word is out there all ready) to be hurled/used on each-other. It's encouraging even more unnecessary shame and disrespect.
Being that they are historically hurtful, painful terms, forced positions and caricatures --- and low-key we are still called that by Whites.

Now, we have the descendants of these enslaved people calling eachother these terms. And calling other Black people globally these terms - aka "Afri-c00ns" which is just as SICK as the original term and intent.
That's why the Coli and Black social media in general -- loves the word "C00n" -- and now ADOS and Black people globally whose people/ancestors were thankfully never called that -- are now using it like the word "THE" -- not truly understanding why they shouldn't be using it.
Black folks (globally) be sounding like the Whites in this doc.
now just hold a minute there, friend. tariq hasnt actually had his fba conference yet. he said he would have it only if he raised the 200k. so i just checked his indiegogo and hes right at about 38k. he has 21 days to raise the rest of the money so hes gonna have to bring in about 8k a day in donations, and as were seeing its hard to online fundraise in the middle of an online conflict. so if he doesnt get the required donations, hes gonna have to eat the loss and finance this fba conference out of his own pocket if this really is for the people
You're missing the answer to your question in an effort to argue.
