are on... and the white supremacist ethnologists before them.

I'm not the one who said that.

And if you'd leave it that, you might have a
more mature and respectable argument.

That "other side of the Donald Trump" coin argument
isn't well thought-out. I'll allow you to marinate
on it some more.


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


The pop culture critique was about the kind of
ideology that facilitates lopsided attacks on
so-called 'hotep' Black men... and that doesn't
elude you as much as you're pretending. I spoke
to the fact that the ideas accepted in academies
and popular blogs inform this kind of attack.
Start with the idea that Black men theorizing about
themselves isn't trusted while every other group
theorizes about themselves... included Black women.
Yet everyone else gets to call Black men savages
w/o correction. I see you on here cosigning this
kind of rhetoric, so it's not like you can hide
behind this ONLY being about Umar.


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


Nope, it wouldn't, but I'd still be discussing it,
and that's problematic in itself that yall don't
give two shits about Black boys on any other day.
