First, "...outside the movies.." The movies are HUGE in of itself. I'd love to know any black person with that body of work over the last 20 years..hell, go back longer. People with a helluva lot more resources haven't done anything close. Same with Jason Black but this about Tariq.A lot of his contributions aren't public. But some of the ones we do know of are the 1000s of dollars he's paid as cash bail for protesters in St. Louis/Ferguson, Baltimore, etc. He's donated to other black projects: Jason Black, and before he fell out with them, Tommy Sotomayor and Dr. Umar Johnson. He paid for Dr. Wesling's funeral. His Ism Show put the spotlight on various black owned businesses in other cities. He recently paid for the security for the turn up at the radio station in LA. There are numerous other things he does on the side in terms of direct financial contribution.My follow up question is who has done more? I'm not saying others haven't but if we are discussing 'What has Tariq Nasheed really done?' the question begs as opposed to whom? I'd love to hear some names.
