Those are good point you made. I agree whatever he has to say getting hate engagment can tarnish your message but I guess from Tariq perspective he probrably feel them folks gonna hate him either way so you might as well make money off of them. You got nikkas on here that don't like tariq but post and comment on everything he does, seems like a great way to spend your free time.Tariq is an engagement farmer. So he doesnt mind attracting xenophobes,MAGA,democrats and foreigners who hate watch etc. Because having all those people in the comments creates engagement.
Personally i think if you dont want to muddy up your message or tarnish your movement,its important to let those undesirables know you dont stand for what they may think you stand for. But whos to say Tariq has a goal of "having a message" or having a real/credible longterm movement?
His goal appears to be having a media space he is in control of,is very active,that brings awareness to black issues. Would he get the engagement he gets if he was simply reporting the news? Or does he get the engagement because of some of the chaos he creates that some of us may take issue with? We cant question this man,hes a media genius. He does what he has to in order to bring the awareness to black issues#YourWelcome
