Official Umar Johnson Thread

Brah as soon as he started with comparing homosexuality too murders and pedophiles I turned that **** off.

Went back, fast forward a couple minute and he was still spewing more nonsense :smh:

Dude got a couple good ideas. But I can't rock wit him

Yeah he has some good motives, but I don't like how he talks about homosexuality.

Claims he doesn't disrespect people, but compares homosexuality to rapist, murders, pedophiles etc.

I also don't like how he only focuses on black boys as if girls don't exist. His logic is if he can save black boys they will save the women *shrugs* seems sexist to me.

He addressed black girls in the video. He plans to start a school for girls when he has the resources. But I agree with you about the homosexual comments
 
he wasn't lying about a lot being molested as kids but grouping them all in that bunch isn't fair. I know too many folks who were showing them tendencies at very young ages. Some folks just have those preferences

He addressed it in the way that I said. He made that statement out of his own mouth, "I focus on black boys because if I save the boys they will save and take care of the girls." I know he said he will build a school for girls afterward, but I highly doubt it with a statement like that. Every other sentence is black boys this black boys that, then the occasional female. If he really wants to save the black community he should try to focus on everyone.

He has a lot of good points, but I don't agree how he approaches certain topics.
 
I was really offended but his Breakfast Club interview. It's actually the first dislike I ever given on Youtube. He seems very jaded, I respect what he was trying to say about special needs children but everything came off self-serving. It was always about Black rights and "this is how the white man keeps us down"

It's 2015, we all have it hard, we all have been undermined, playing victim or telling people they should acknowledge themselves as victims is just irresponsible. People like Jay Z and Oprah didn't get to were they are by crying about their situation, they did it by facing adversity with a smile and class. His attitude is just gonna keep getting him uninvited to the party.
 
^^^ Even though I disagree with the brother on many things, I find somethings of the stuff he was straight up repulsive

I complete disagree with the picture you paint

He is not playing victim, there is a lot of truth in the picture he paints. And trying to start a school is actually the opposite of playing victim

He sees a problem, and he is trying to do something about it.

The content on education, ADHD, autism and misdiagnosis with respect to race was fascinating. My mom received a letter when I was little...saying that I shows signs of being behind cognitively...don't remember what it said specifically. But she kept that letter with hate. Thought it was bs because she noticed normal progression psychologically for a child my age. I'm a EE because of her. And she kept that letter because she thought it was racism.

So listening to umar talk about that reminded me of what my mom revealed to me.


His thoughts on gays are not radical, I've heard that theory before. I think he blurs the line of homosexuality and sexual abuse; its wrong. Gays have been around since early civilization. Its nothing new. If anything sexual abuse or lack of a father figure would lead to the abused become the abuser or becoming a deadbeat father (or a great father) respectively.
 
Good eye opening interview
A lot of the stuff he was saying makes sense
Idk about all that gay stuff, but I don't know anything about that lifestyle so i can't speak on it
 
I don't agree whole heartedly with the homosexual rhetoric. But there is something to be said about the notion that if you open one door, you may be faced with the realization that others have to be opened as well. Slippery slopes and what not.

If anything, that's what I took from it. I'm not going to say I agree or disagree w/ everything that he said but that slippery slope is real as we can see w/ the whole issue w/ the boy wanting to use the women's bathroom.
 
How is it wrong for him to talk about black boys and wanting to do something for them? Black men are behind black women in every category from employment to education. Empowering black men from their youth goes a very long way in remedying the problem at hand. When you have strong black men, you have the foundation for a strong black family unit. That doesn't exist in the community due to planned government intervention that forced the black father to not be in the home in order to receive assistance. That created the fatherless homes we see today because those boys didn't have that example provided to them as a child.
 
The Breakfast club interview was on point. Very thorough and clear in his message. I wish the brother good luck with all his endeavors.

One thing that stuck out to me was when he mentioned how so many HBCU's were struggling when so many wealthy blacks come from these schools. Also it struck a cord when he talked about how black culture and music was the 2nd biggest American export, yet we as black people own none of it. Definitely eye opening as to how much work we have to do.

He's on the right track though. We have to reach out to the youth and make sure they are well equipped to lead us into the future.

Yeahhhh I doubt that is true doe.

I mean I agree with black ownership point, but when dudes use "facts" like these it kinda weakens their argument
