Define "competent". Anyone could read Darity's work, look up some "data" and be "competent" just like her. Unlike Tariq or whoever else who get accused of "working for Republicans", or other fakkity baseless claims, she has KNOWN ties to a White Supremacist, and is into White box, but she doesn't have "other motives", right? If she's sincere (doubtful), she'll likely never accomplish anything. People have to learn to take what is useful and throw the rest away. IF I go, it's to hear the speakers (NOT Boyce
), and maybe network and find some Black products to support (Group Economics). I like Tariq, but I don't hang on his every word, but I recognize that he is realistic. The "poor righteous teacher" trope needs to die. I respect hustle because it gets things done in today's world. nikkas aren't in solidarity enough to pull moves like mass boycotts and such like MLK did. Aside fom buying DVDs, and attending one premier (all well worth it, his products are well done), I've never given him a dime. If I go, I'm eating somewhere else, and unless someone is selling something useful and high quality, I'm spending zero dollars. Not everyone is some drone incapable of thinking for themselves. You have to look at them all critically. You nikkas accusing people of shyt all the time and trying to shame people into repeating the same routine that got us here are the real ones to be suspect of. I don't "rely" on anyone. I have been on not voting for either racist for ages, so I'm down with the idea. Voting Democrat for the last half century still has us firmly at the bottom, so fukk it
Tariq announced his way before, then these nikkas appeared out of thin air, and I've never heard of them. If Tariq's date never changed, there would be two rallies at different places on the same day. Knockoff shyt. Either they have an ulterior motive, or they are dummies who are willing pawns for someone that does. If they're for the cause, I wish them luck, but I wasn't going this short notice for some people I have zero info on, plus I suspect the turnout will be next to nothing.
