Tariq is highly questionable to me at this point. I never really bought into his hype, but the more I see him the more I'm put off. He makes some good points, but his use of "crispy" is very telling.
I see some really great suggestions and dialogue in this thread. I think the barbershop would be a good spot to meet and discuss these things. Very easy to spot outsiders.
Blacks just need to unplug from this society and get focused and get serious. We need a total change of mentality . That's where I think celebrities would be most useful, but we all know why they won't and can't.
The other day in the barbershop the whole time I'm there they're talking about the playoffs. Not once did I hear anything about the situation in Baltimore. I'm not saying that there isn't a time and place for everything, but we've had enough singing dancing and sports. Time to get serious and productive.
Same mindset I have about him also. I go back and forth on my feelings on him although his podcasts are very interesting to listen to.
But it seems like all he wants is to people to call up agreeing with him or a point he made and mention his Hidden colors series or an upcoming meeting he is having in a city just so he can say
"YES INDEED" 20 times in a show.
He hears anything besides that..,,any kind of disagreement...first he is calm and then asks the person____how is___thing like___ or "what do you mean"...then out of nowhere after a while just hangs up on the person. Looks at the screen and says
"sorry brother/sister...i had to hang up on you because you were c00ning"...
randomly throws out a word like "c00nette" ....complains about some people in the chatroom trolling.
Yes there are tons and tons of c00ns but this podcast he just got me heated when he hung up on that sister when she is probably one of the more conscious people that called the show....
