Another Tariq hot take on politics.
Tariq makes a lot of sense, except when it comes to politics.
It's not worth a deep discussion.
In all honesty I'm beginning to wonder if even that is true. I don't watch his shyt.
This man is, what?, in his fukking 40s? Still militant roleplaying and refusing to vote?
If the man is this entirely 1) disingenuous or 2) totally lost about something as important as politics and government at this point in his life I doubt he has any useful input on any other subject. And that includes dating, pimping, singing, fashion and whatever else this hustler gets on.
If anything Tariq and Yvette should be a reminder to folks that it's time to get serious about black politics and return to scholarship. We gave a bunch of "new black media" internet gawkers saying everything that's sounds nice, pretending to be the second coming of Malcolm X, and suggesting anything that is contrary to any reasonable consesus a chance and they all failed us. They accomplished nothing other than instilling bigoted views about immigrants in black people and convincing us not to participate in elections. Wow what modern day heroes. They'll be in the history books for ages.
I'd rather walk over to my local city college, sit with a professor and get some REAL schooling on white supremacy with someone of proven intellect, background and passion for what he's talking about. Not some attention starved narcissists shouting "fukk Democrats. Both sides is white supremacists. Drop those donations" and other simple minded shyt.
Or better yet sit alone with a book written by proven authors and historians.
I think we all learned a lesson trusting "new black media" and a bunch of politically one sided right wing weirdos named "Youngh Pharoah" "The Black Authority" and "Mink Slide" repeating the same shyt to absolutely no results whatsoever. When I was a child those of us who were interested in black politics sought after actual activists, authors, professors, and books to disseminate political knowledge to us. It's seriously time for young black folks who are truly passionate about politics and black history to log off the damn social media and get back to scholarship.
