1st -- Tariq is NOT Pro-Black. When your mother in law looks like this - you aint Pro-Black. Nor is he a "Leader in the Black community."
-- he's a writer and actor (now doc film maker) - who saw a opening -- and had the black male audience due to his pimping/player book titles and radio shows to make it work well. Nothing more, nothing less. He is Pro-Dollars.
I am not a fan of Umar either. But, who ever can't see Tariq is about money at all times -- is out of their mine.
Yes - Tariq comes through with his promises. He is fully funded by Black people to do so. Then he pockets all the revenue. I WISH I would have thought of that. And sure, he gives back or AKA has "receipts" - but what's $5k-15K when you making $300K-$500K+ per documentary.
Both of these men are a mess -- and I side eye anyone who upholds them in high regard. I will say Umar came out in a better light to me this time - I will give him that.
All Tariq is a man-child who uses insults and degrading terms to go at other Black people.. Missy Elliott? Gabby? Why did he have to use Black women to diss Umar? Again, he's not Pro-Black.
