How the fukk does him making a documentary now make him the spokesperson for you? So is Henry Louis Gates also your spokesperson? What about the supersize me guy?

Let me spell it out for your clearer: STOP LOOKING AT INTERNET PERSONALITIES AS LEADERS. You parents, local clergy, community heroes are your leaders. Stop trying to superimpose your idealistic views of what a leader should be onto these brothers because in the end, you'll be the only one dissapointed.
So he's not a leader....got it. :whoa:

I'm not sure who feels that he is a leader... but I'm not gonna hate on the brothers that would pay attention to a brother like Tariq , for many reasons.
first off.... he says he's going to do something and does it. (this is more important than you realize)
Sure his videos have flaws... but that avenue of getting rid of white washing and then providing suggestions for solutions is needed. Dude is funny. He promotes mascilitiy in a world that TRIES it's hardest to destroy masculinity amongst black males. He's drops knowledge sometimes... dude is aight for the most part.

So a dude like me... I've had OG thug nikkas, my pops, uncles, older cousins, community leaders, and even madd pro black nikkas from the 60's ear influencing me my entire life.

So many of our youth (MILLIONS!!) don't have anything but their moms and other hoodrat hoes. I would never tell them some shyt like look at your parents (what if their parents are fukking useless??) , local clergy (by definition, probably a crook or useless or just NOT appealing to a young god) , or community hero (lol, like who... the dopeman??) . Most hood kids look up to the nikkas that are out there getting money. Plain and simple.

So sure Tariq isn't a leader.... but there are a few like him in some cities and young dudes should pay attention because their alternatives are usually all negative.

Why does everybody keep saying this? These men ARE NOT our leaders. Their just youtube personalities. nikkas always trying to prop nikkas up like they're MLK. Look for leaders in your local communities. Tariq has said this many times. Tariq is just here presenting knowledge.
You're getting old friend. TheShift occured some time ago.

I'm really dissapointed in Tariq. He got baited by a master troll, and stooped to his level. If he just kept it moving, and ignored it he wouldn't have been givin Tommy power. Now he looks just as bad as when Tommy goes back and forth with his antagonists.

In Tariqs defense, he clowns alot on his ustream show. So him clowning is nothing new for him.

You got Malcolm X in your sig. Was he not a leader?
Yep he was. Malcolm X put his life on the line for black folks during the civil rights era

Tariq is not trying to be a leader, like he has said many times. And as far as Tommy lol I hope people aren't looking at him as a leader

lol @ you nikkas on this NO black leader campaign, smh.

That's childish as fukk. The white media feed you so many jesse jacksons, then manipulated both MLK's image and M X's... then ruined the image of the black male.............. so now any time a man attempts to give another man his credit for doing his part you haters say " you fatherless nikkas just be lookin fo a leader"


First off... you're not weak if you are a follower. Grow up. And a real leader should have followed and practiced and listened to mentors at one point. A real men doesn't feel uncomfortable giving a man respect for at least TRYIN to do something positive.

And how wasn't Malcolm x a leader? Some of the leaders produce other leaders who used to follow... following can either be "blind following" or a "learning experience".





and tariq isn't trying to be a leader... he just wants information out there... just wants people to work within their individual lanes. We are programmed to be haters, especially on people who look like us.

Your comment was about people looking for a leader, not about what the dudes Tommy and Tariq have done. That's why I quoted you.

Tariq went overboard but hes going to get back to business soon. These roasts don't go on for too long, I can't fault another man for having to drop the hammer when you keep getting low-key shots thrown at you. Nearly every person Tommy invites on his show or links up with, ends on bad terms. It's time Tommy looked in the mirror. How can he criticize how anyone else gets attention when his whole Internet Career is centered around beefing and being a shock-jock?

And those criticizing people who follow/respect Tariq are the same way. These same people saying Tariq is some father-figure replacement don't want to see the next black man get ahead, because thats competition for them. Yet these are the same people who will stan for Kobe, Drake, and C00nbama.
