it's too late. pandemic gave people like him, Tariq, and Hotep Jesus a whole new f***ing audience.

Its not because even tho he has said wrong, his rights have outweighed his wrong lets stay on topic. Y’all want leaders to fight the black fight right? Whats wrong? Not enough truth?

Anyone who’s black and have an issue with what this man says please don’t comment to me...

Umar is not a f***ing leader man, this is the same issue we had in the 60s that led people to actually look up to loser ass Eldridge Cleaver as a thought leader.

He's not gonna be black superman with a kufi. Tell him to get that f***ing school built before tryna tell me how to meet black liberation.

Outdated ass rhetoric.

The same issues from the 60s are still going on now, so what are we gonna do about it? Still kiss other ethnicities ass who don't even f*** with us?. Or still try the dr king approach.

How are y’all mad at someone who’s actually speaking up for black people? S*** baffles man.

don't get why someone criticizes Umar, the first thing niggas wanna assume is that means I'm saying we gotta just give up lol.

You know there's other "grass roots activists" out there doing the work. Just because they don't get on one of the most popular breakfast club interviews and go viral for saying one liners doesn't mean they not out here.

Don't think anyone knows what to do about it, but what I can tell you what I'm not gonna do, is put my entire faith into a nigga that one has a god complex, two, thinks he's related to Frederick Douglass even after his family had to tell him to cool that s*** out, three, hasn't brought up one intiative or an idea behind this all-black boys school he's been pumping up for over a decade, four, is known for the things he says more than the things he actually does within the community, and five, is a bigot of the worst kind cause it's against niggas within our own community.

Even ignant ass Brother Polight is at least outside and I don't wanna get into my issues with him.

If one of the biggest superfans of Umar on this site can call this man a race-hustling pimp and a thief, why is it so hard to grasp the concept that maybe, just maybe the "prince of pan africanism" is not the person to "lead" us to the promised land?

speaking of "what are we gonna do about it"

Time to organize, keep it horizontal

I can make a great case if I felt like typing essays (which I don't) about why the "waiting for superman, singular leader" approach is an outdated form of organization and that we need to move on from that line of thinking as black people.

Since it seems like everyone itt doesn’t f*** with umar someone put me on game to some real black activists. I like umar but not because I think he’s gonna be our Superman, I just like how unapologetically radical he is

Be your own activist

Never look towards the famous or elite for guidance

Nice rhetoric but nothings gonna get accomplished that way

As opposed to

i mean OGs like angela davis and cornel west

I'd mention a female rapper but I know I'll get flamed

but at least she made a free community center and I'm sure she don't got as much money as Umar do.

But @VeggiePablo is ultimately right. You gotta be your own hero. That's the biggest mistake of the Civil Rights Movement (how it's portrayed) is it made niggas think it was just Malcolm and Martin's show.

But it was more than that, without the children, the civil rights movement doesn't gain any momentum. The march on washington was planned by a gay man (bayard rustin). Fannie Louhammer and others that we just never acknowledged and it's made us as a people forget that this s*** is a group effort. It aint just one or two niggas.

that's exactly how this type of s***'s been accomplished for centuries what an ignorant statement lmfao.

Imagine Rosa Parks thinking to herself "damn, what would Harry Belafonte do" and decided to get up off that seat.

But seriously though, why is this in music sxn again?

I don't like how he is minimizing the struggle that asians have faced in order to prove his point

If he was really as pro black as he says he wouldn't spend so much of his energy putting down black women and LGBT people.

I am once again asking for a third political party

stop including lgbt in the black struggle

I wish they would

so black lgbt don't exist?

simple yes or no question.

shut the f*** up . they aren't the same plights.

asian lgbt exists the exact same way as white lgbt exists.
this is why nobody takes that s*** serious. trying to latch onto other movements.

they can co-exist. seperately

Umar been telling the truth about this Asian stuff and also Interracial relationships. Some things I can’t fw tho

they don’t “coexist separately” when Dr. Umar specifically goes out of his way to s*** on the LGBTQ+ community

don’t blame other people for Umar alienating a large group of people by his own doing

I know of all the black activist, i don't stand with the ones who Don’t uplift black people those ones that always have to thru in “THE BLACK and BROWN community” in every f***ing speech like dawg the brown community dont give a f*** about you.

and with umar he cant do s*** without funds, he reached out to multiple black celebs to help him build the man needs help....
