I don't think *all* critiques of Umar are about respectability politics. I think that there *is* a tone to *some* of the critiques of buddy that are Talented Tenth-y like hell, tho. And it mirrors the tone of the critique of certain working class/rural Black ideologies/movements.
The Root/VSB/Univision is all about catering to THAT audience, so a lot of the shit they publish has that voice/perspective. And shapes it too
