This thread has been very informative.
I know Tariq has wrestled back and forth with the notion of does c00ning really pay. I'd say ultimately it does. It does not always pay with money per say, more so platforms to spew rhetoric that is detrimental to a society of marginalized people. People like Deray, Jamilah, CTG, Mero & others continue to do the bidding for whites and its so apparent.
I remember after ferguson, media outlets were calling Deray the "new MLK" and "savior" of black society.. And now every book tour stop he's doing, he's getting called out on his lies...
People like Jamilah not only need to get exposed for her rhetoric but so does her father. It's even more dangerous given the platforms in key positions people like her get that is supposed to help the community but often terrorize it by causing divides along gender & sexual preference lines..
You have a dichotomy in black society today. There is a war on black men and boys in this country and even bigger war on heterosexual black men. To me that's the long and short of it.
We can talk semantics of what caused the rift in the black community but with the influx of "new blacks" & shea butter feminists, they are doing more damage than overt white racists because they look like us but they have vitriol for the community they make their money from and use their platform to spew BS.
Also I know Tariq had his fair share of beefs with people, I think his next one is with be with the Breakfast Club.
The energy and condescending questions they were asking also had a bit of combativeness and I feel they were out of pocket in my opinion from the last interview
And CTG is a by product of that same ilk of the aforementioned person whom this thread is about and the ones defending her... I just see something on the horizon with that but I digress.
LOL.. he's one soulless looking man- no feeling in those eyes, just blankness. he tried to dred himself out for the appearance of "blackness", while he's really looking an extra from the Hills Have Eyes...
