This thread is an example of what's wrong in the black community. Hustlers...hell yeah...anyone who owns a business, corporation, leads an organization, etc., is a hustler. America is built off of hustling.
Why are black men hustling held to a different standard? We're not digging in the backgrounds of white hustlers. White people don't preach about avoiding successful white men because they're not "leaders".
People using the term pseudo are already lost. Is it pseudo because it isn't embraced by the white power system? You may say no, but that's the exact reasoning you're subconsciously using. Thereby supporting white supremacy.
Pimping...the economy is built upon pimping. Pimping you to go to their institutes, come work on their jobs, and bring them money. The white power structure will have a disdain for persons like Tariq and Umar who don't fully subscribe to the American way. Same reasoning many of you have. "Oh that's not what I learned at the esteemed white institute I attended". Lol
What these guys are doing is no different than hip hop, providing background music, sprinkled with some tangible ideas. Thug motivation.
If Tariq turns you off...it isn't meant for you. He's aiming at the black people who maybe a step below you in the conscious or knowledge department. Business savvy 101...target a specific audience.
Picking on a guy for his complexion...how? A person can't offend me by stating how dark I am because I love being dark. Wish I was darker! Only someone still suffering from European programming would give any thought to crispy jokes.
Take this chin-check with humility and gracefully bow out...admit to yourselves (due to pride) that you're just hating. Neither of these guys are doing anything that's a detriment to black people. As Tariq will advocate a woman pimping a man (dusty nikkas) as fast as he would advocate the reverse.
