I kinda wish I went to this thing... I could've in real life dapped up blakking. No homo
Y'all lost for listening to TBA to begin with. Dude is all kinds of suspect.
Then I willingly take that L... I just listen to him because his talk on black economics is top notch.

I am not furious. I am only pointing out the flaws which he had and that he was abrasive to taking advice on repairing those flaws. I'm sure that even will be his most successful event EVER by his attitude.

The entire crowd would have been affected if the production wasn't properly handled by the promoter.

Both dudes were wrong in how they handled the situation.
Lou
Dude seemed to handle himself unprofessionally. Sounds like his chick was more on it than him and he was the promoer. The venue wasn't great. The setup for the show wasn't great. The seating wasn't great. But because the people got to see Tariq in a live setting, they were happy. But that doesn't take away from the lack of planning and foresight on Lou's behalf.
Lou should have understood the points Tariq made about the practical things that weren't taken care of. When you don't do a great job, you don't give excuses and retorts. You apologize for the inconvenience and let them know that you'll consider their suggestions. Lou wanted to act like just because he paid Tariq that that's all that matters. No, the customers are more important than even Tariq and they had complaints. He needs to learn from that.
Tariq
I like Tariq's work, and I support Tariq's work. I donated to Hidden Colors, and if more come out, I will continue to donate. I donate to Melanoid Nation on a monthly basis. I don't do this because of Tariq necessarily, but because I believe that they are necessary and he does a good job on them. I listen to his Ustream show on a fairly regular basis, especially since he's shifted to a more political standpoint. He makes great points and is able to easily weave the ramifications of racism into social context for easy digestion.
With all of that said, Tariq comes across as sensitive, petty and insecure at times. He is impatient with his callers....even though some are truly long-winded. He is hypocritical when it comes to certain topics like Tommy Sotomayor....tells his listerners to not mention him but will intermittently lace him into jokes and has a whole line of t-shirts dedicated to a series he made about Tommy Sotomayor.
And this was an example of Tariq being petty. It sounds like the event could have and should have been handled better....no doubt. But airing someone one out under the guise of constructive criticism seems contrived. Not to mention, he took obvious jabs at the dude....mentioning he needs to be like his lady, telling him to thank his lady, continually re-hashing his lateness, etc.
I just didn't see the need to publicly embarass him and then take up the large portion of the show talking about dude. Not a good look.

Yea I'm in Philly and the Philly lecture was done very well. Like Tariq said, the promoter was a chick so....

Let me say this.. .. although I see your point... When you're trying to uplift and edify the black community, the first thing you hopefully have is an understanding of the people you're trying to enlighten.....
I say that to say that shyt like this is to be expected from time to time... his own bodyguard even stated that this how cats in the D do business........ so with that being said... is his brand>>>>>>> than getting a message out to our people that can possible give them an alternative way of thinking which will hopefully result in a better way to operate within America?
I just feel like as a brother, he should know how some of us operate and take some shyt in stride for the greater cause..... I know everybody or most people agree that he shouldn't have publically blasted the cat... but damn.... shyt just makes him look funny in the light...
Yea, but his point was that Detroit does not handle events well....not that his bodyguard was saying that he should be ok with the jankyness.
Just because dudes may be used to janky sh#t doesn't mean that it's right or professional. I can agree with Tariq on that.

how?
breh, instead of all this frivilous hating, nikkas need to follow his route. get a venue that can fit 300+ people, find a few decent speakers, pay tariq that 5 grand, charge 65 bucks. then collect ya stacks--while helping black folks in the community network
$65? From what I've seen and personally experienced, the charge is between $25-$40.

Oh well, then I have to side with Tariq on this then. If you're charging people $65, which is higher than his other lectures, then the venue and production overall better be top notch. Especially, for a lecture.
Like others have stated, no one knows Lou....they know Tariq. So, they look at this as Tariq's event. So, if they're paying $65 to see Tariq and the event is janky, then that could negatively affect Tariq's brand. Especially at that price point.
