how does it make sense
its 1 thing to do your due diligence and research his background to make sure he has the degrees and licenses he claims to have. thats fair
but its a different situation when theres multiple publications/media outlets "blue check" twitter nikkas (the root, tv one etc) going out of their way to discredit
one black man.
its fine to disagree with his stances n shyt but to be dancing on the mans grave is OD. these nikkas look extra foolish right now
shyt looks funny in the light
you dont see this same energy aimed towards "dr phil" or people like him that make millions doing unimpressive pedestrian shyt
Umar has to be some sort of threat to the stat quo if theyre going
THIS far out of their way to tear him down
hes not the only alleged "homophobic" "misogynist" under the sun
they got it out for him in particular for some reason
It's politics...
Nobody is immune from being dragged and have their grave danced on...that's part of politics...
Politics isn't about giving people equal platforms or hearing the other side or any of that shyt. It's about power and wealth and who gets what. If someone who is supposed to represent me, can't me what the fukk I want, get the fukk outta here, I don't care about your life. You wanted power and control...this is the price for disappointment.
And...why yall keep ignoring this man has over a quarter million dollars of poor and vulnerable Black folks money and haven't done shyt....
fukking Michelle Alexander has work on Black Incarceration.
Dr. Tommy Curry has done work on Black males...
Dr. William Darrity has done work on Black inequality...
And they did that without taking Black people's money and being told to wait for the results...
What the fukk Dr. Umar has done?
Where are his works...
What policies is he influencing...
fukk even TaNehsi Coates wrote about Reparations and actually brought the conservation back into popular disclosure...
When your rhetoric becomes more important than actual results...you are charlatan and a conman and the people that follow you aren't very politically savvy. The people that follow are you are vulnerable.
The fact that the people who support you...say shyt like..."He tries to help Black people..." "He speaks up for Black people...."
And the only thing they can point to you is a bunch of fukking videos...
They ain't saying shyt like..."He opened up a homeless shelter." "He has a free breakfast program..."
They are talking about what the fukk he talked about. I don't care about that shyt. And most of us shouldn't either.
Politics is a brutal game that is about tangible results and impact. Material things.
If you can't do that...you deserve to have your grave danced on....He got over quarter million dollars to start some bullshyt ass school...when Black folks have opened up schools since the beginning of time...It ain't that damn hard.
Nobody got time to hear about what you tried to do. Rhetoric don't mean shyt.
The cost of failure in politics is grave as it should be. It's an example for others to not fukk up. To not mislead people. Not to take advantage of the public and those who trust you.
MLK put in work....
Malcolm X put in work....
Huey P. Newton put in work...
Bobby Seale put in work...
They advanced Black politics and influenced policy in this country. Black folks didn't turn on them and drag their name through the mud because they didn't fail.
Only thing Dr. Umar has done is gotten vulnerable and politically unsavvy people to believe in his bullshyt.
