navigating through the mess is a bit tricky. but I can see a LOT of white people taking advantage of this. Someone referred to America as a mutt country. lol. So there's so many layers to this.
If you include Descendants of American Slavery why do you have to include Foundational? Are there DOAS that are not foundational?
If they would have given our Black enslaved ancestors their cash reparations with additional benefits AND LEFT THEM THE FUCK ALONE AFTERWARDS IN THE FIRST PLACE (no sharecropping, no lynching, no redlining, no anti-Black terrorism, no economic deprivation, no Jim Crow, no discrimination and disenfranchisement, no predatory games, no grand theft, no burning down and of Black Wall Streets and Black neighborhoods, etc), WE WOULD NOT BE DEALING WITH THIS SHIT.
Because I don't want any thieving pale cave demons and any non-Black or Black non-FBA people to fraudulently and deceitfully claim that they are "Descendants of American Slavery." We have to be clear. You have to be Black AND of a specific lineage (a lineage the goes all the way back to the American Slave Plantations).
How does Foundational make it clear though? What does Foundational add that Descendants of American Slaves doesn't already provide?
That's the only way...
Foundational Black = We, Our Ancestors, or Our Ancestors' Slavery Are The True Foundation and Backbone of This Country. This nation was built by us and the wealth was generated from our enslavement, forced labor and production.
Honestly if nothing else, 1870 or 1880 should be the cut off date. People are talking about how a bunch of immigrants were pouring into the US right after the end of slavery, but vast majority of those immigrants were whites from Europe and maybe very few Chinese. Most non-white immigrants didn't starting coming into America in droves until the mid-late 1900s.
None whatsoever. They had sided with WS and I am starting to look at the whole group as "Imported Black Problems" with WS thinking in place. I feel they don't have a dog in this fight and they know that, they just want to be a rock in the shoe of FBA's getting what's owed.
Why not?
He seems like a snake oil salesman to me. He gives me vibes as if he is more about himself than the community.
Good point. As long as we are overall going in a positive direction, then we are fine.
Totally understand. He makes way, way, way more money than the typical Black person does. He could've worked together with others to have a Black media apparatus that is independent of YouTube. Other groups of people would not keep staying on our platforms at a high rate like we do YouTube.
Tariq is an opportunist. Just like Umar, Moist Watkins & so many others! They're using their own people to make their money!
I feel you on that because that "Ogun Juice" pepper spray statement about that Ga. shooting victim was a bad taste for a sales pitch. I mainly listen to the message he brings and not his so called comedy.
That million dollars for this museum could be best spent buying land (outside of Cali) and letting "Proven" FBA's to place businesses on it with a rent with offer to buy options. But that's just me. I don't like museums because there are never enough windows to reach if something pops off.
The museum is going to be his little trophy that he can host his movie screenings in. He's a great hustler but is he the new Malcolm X like some people make him out to be? No! They don't even know Tariq in real life they just know him from Youtube videos.
Thats what I think. Why put a museum for us in a town with a very small Black percent population? Crazy. Tariq spends so much time on videos. How can he be truly building for the people?
I look at it like he tells the truth about our enemy, so then from there, he sells the truth about our enemy. He definitely profits from challenging white supremacy but personally I don't have a problem with him being compensated for what he does
I really question whether Tariq wants the Black community to start thriving since it would be a challenge to him. If more of our people get money, then it greatly decreases the chances he will have the spotlight on him since more of our people will be able to build a platform that could reach a sizeable number of our people.
He is an innovator, a successful businessman, and has brought light to some important issues and topics.
Lol of course he does. You know that question is similar to when white supremacist on Twitter tell him you don't really want white supremacy to end because you'd be out of a job if it did. That's that's ridiculous to think that he depends on the way things are to succeed. He's still an author filmmaker and other things, so the idea that if black America progress he'll fade out is asinine
