Because he talks slick and makes them feel good, kinda like Trump does with white people.
These dudes donate him their money in exchange for endorphin rushes.
not true
He says something real that black mainstream American tv won't touch and he gets down to facts and exposes racists and got people fired. He says alot of things we see but the media won't touch and we notice it and he speaks on it so we gravitate to him for the conversation. Doesn't mean we gotta support financially but we appreciate the knowledge.
The problem with the media is they don't really address the real black America, just alot of symbolic nonsense that the majority of us won't benefit from, also they never address class-ism which is pretty big but no one talks about.
Whatever Tariq personal life is like, not my business but I will tune into his shows, I appreciate the realness he uses regardless of how much his life is suffering IDK.
All these dudes got money issues, they all make money from Youtube and don't punch a clock, something will go down and it happened to all of them, Pro-light, Umar, Tommy and Tariq all independent and all get caught up once in a while. It's not like Zo Williams getting paid from Corey or Yvette and Tone most likely having a office position or a advisory position lined up in the future which is why IMO they use ADOS as a basic Democratic down vote group due to where to go once ADOS dies it, just a backup plan.
Tariq got no back up plan, dude is pushing 50 and got 5 kids and a wife who's gonna wanna keep up her lifestyle of not working, sitting on her ass chillin so he's gonna be coming up with ideas for a long time and his mouth makes it so he has no friends so I expect a exit plan one day for Tariq.
THe message is real but the people are crooked, hell all people are crooked in some way or form. It's just a part of life.
