Never said that one's class or level of education was a barrier to being intelligent. There's a lot of dudes with degrees and titles that are super ignorant (like Poomar).

However, in lower economic classes (the areas Poomar is targeting), people are VERY vulnerable. it's easier to believe in someone who sells the dream of self-determination when you're not clouded by the illusion of having "made it"

(same strategy is used in a number of churches, esp. the prosperity preachers that Umar resembles)

a dude who hasn't met his goals in crowd funding shouldn't go chastising his would-be donors as "trifling Black people", IMO

that sounds much like the "bourgeois Black person" with whom you seem to have problems.

after all this time (and money), there's been no sign of progress, no plan, just some "I'm gonna make a school for boys".

he was the great pumpkin well before the white power structure allegedly started coming for him.

y'all act like this dude is being hamstrung by anyone but his own self.

then why are you (and others) capin' for this fraudulent dude?

I'm speaking directly out of the front of my mouth, breh.

Why do y'all cape for a charlatan?
Because he's Black and "independent"?
Because he gets it right twice a day, like a broken clock?

I find the notion of Poomar being COINTELPRO'd when it's mostly black people calling him out highly dubious; outside of black people, this dude barely registers.


>Real disappointing to see you being so childish and
>sheepish.

LOL @ sheepish. dude. you ain't gotta be a "sheep" to not rock with this dude and his BS.

I'll be "childish" though, if that's what gets eyes over here. Poomar threw out his right to be treated fairly when he started that "trifling black people" shit and started hiding behind a wall of imagined persecution everytime he got caught out there.
