what in pop culture says to me: "Dr. Poomar bad"

again, aside from Black people (mostly on Twitter), who is meme-ing up Dr. Poomar? is anyone talking about Dr. Poomar on TV that is mass-consumed?

this isn't a case of "self-hate"

I don't think his idea to open an independent school for Black people is bad.

I just think HE is bad. His world view, that is anti-woman and anti-gay is bad. he is not forthcoming about the work he does as a psychologist. not forthcoming about his business plan with the money he is crowdfunding. and wraps a whole lot of bullshit in language meant to address the kind of resentment that systematic and institutionalized oppression causes. (you know, kind of the other side of the Donald Trump coin).

and again, what in pop culture (which is pretty anti-woman and anti-gay, just on the low) says I should be against Umar?

if you separated HIM from the move to build an independent, crowd-funded school? this post wouldn't exist.
