You're just throwing stuff at the wall, hoping
it sticks now. Mainly because prosperity preachers
claim that you'll be rich simply b/c you give your
money to them. Then you say Umar is "selling the
dream of self-determination." You're not even making
a logical comparison here.

True.

To me, it just sounds childish... but you can
relate, as you just admitted that you have no
problem with being childish yourself, so you
don't really have room to judge there.

He has said what his plans are but also that
he stopped being so open about them after the
incident with the first building he planned to
buy. It's fine if you don't believe him, but
yall aren't simply saying you don't believe him.

Understand this point thoroughly:
When you make false claims or say childish/unnecessary
stuff about someone, those who call you out or correct
you are not "caping." We are simply responding to your
ridiculousness. Someone being flawed or drawing your
suspicion is not a license to throw maturity to the
wind without criticism.
However, even if I *was* caping for ANY Black man,
it's very warranted with the over-the-top way we are
attacked from people like yourself, the media, and even
academies who claim that our high rates of death and
incarceration are somehow "privileges." Every other
week there's a blog bashing us, calling us terrorists
and rapists, yet it's considered acceptable gender theory
when it's nothing but white supremacist psuedo-science
recoded as such. So any time you wonder why anyone would
"cape" for a Black man, think of that.


>I find the notion of Poomar being COINTELPRO'd when it's
>mostly black people calling him out highly dubious


Of course you do, because you obviously don't understand
how current ideologies around Black men assist with stuff
like this as you buy into pop culture nonsense. He may
or may not be correct, but for you to see nothing wrong
with the way he's being referenced is very telling.

True, but you gotta be one to call him 'hotep',
"poomar", "great pumpkin" etc.


>I'll be "childish" though, if that's what gets eyes over here.

Ah, so this is about attention for you.
Carry on.
