I guess he won't be back on Vlad couch

Vlad's been on that snake **** I wish we had a black version of this guys' platform because he makes money off the ******* in our community... 
 
I like some of Vlad's interviews but he be click baiting like a MFer. Somebody will talk about a subject for 10 minutes then in the last minute Vlad will ask them something, they answer and the title of the clip will be "rapper whatever says he shot somebody". :lol: No type of context, nothing.
 
I guess he won't be back on Vlad couch :lol:

Jordan Tower Films who used to do the viral music videos for Gucci and Soulja etc. trying to get on this same wave...



and we kinda do have a black version of these story telling type videos with the NOREs and Taxs doing the podcasts and posting up the whole 2 hour interview instead of instigating and click baiting with misleading titles
 
Sup folks.

First off, nobody knows or can confirm where Umar Johnson went to school to get his PhD. No publications out there. No dissertation. Nothing. So once I found out he most likely is lying about his background, what else is he lying about?

Second and most important is this whole fundraising he did for his school. He had raised around $250k for his school when the accounts were frozen due to allegations of fraud. A former supporter of Umar Johnson that we all respect, Dr. Boyce Watkins, who even donated money to the school has come out against Umar Johnson. Dr. Chantell Beaty, another black scholar, has made a video with numerous things about Umar Johnson.

It's the intellectual black community that have exposed him. People with confirmed degrees and credibility. People that know the PhD means integrity is of the utmost importance.

Umar Johnson is only out for Umar Johnson. He's a great orator. Excellent motivator. As far as his work in the community though, don't hold your breath expecting anything from him.

Also, as far as his claim to be a descendant of Frederick Douglass, also unsubstantiated.

personally, I could care less about his educational background. the information I find useful from him isn't further validated because some institution issued a piece of paper with his name on it. alot of what he says resonates with what i see with my own eyes. same with the fraud allegations, it has nothing to do with the insight I may have gained from somethings he's said.

im also not surprised at the pushback he's gotten once his voice got big enough. when you say things that may not be politically correct and offend particular groups, I expect there to be a witch hunt on the messenger.

If he was just on youtube making videos I might agree but you don't see anything wrong with someone who wants to educate our children possibly lying about his education and maybe stealing money?
 
When buddy around here preaching about concepts of psychology & diagnosing this and that then yea as the women say we gun need some receipts. I remember looking into dude when I first found out about him & I thought the dissertation had been found by someone on the web from some small school in SC. Didn't care enough to look all the way into it though

There is no proof he's lying though. Folks say this about every black man that says something they might disagree with, with nothing to back it up. People say Tariq is a fraud, Umar is a fraud. I take it with a grain of salt. These are grassroots dudes that put in work w/o any mainstream help.
 
I get what yall are saying but yall are propping up the wrong man. I gave you two prominent black academics and scholars that are currently working within the community to advance our people. Dr. Boyce Watkins and Dr. Chantell Beaty aren't just out here to bring Umar down, they're uplifting the community the right way. Umar is out here robbing us. Literally. You have to see that at this point.
 
I rock with Boyce too but just cuz he said something about Umar doesn't mean I have to take that as gospel. They had a disagreement a while ago, that's between them. I'm not saying Umar is Mr perfect but he always seem real to me. In interviews or his lectures.

Ok I'm gonna let yall have it. How you can sit here and defend a guy that has literally taken money out of our community to the tune of half a million dollars for himself with no explanation of where it went or what he's done with it and numerous reports about the school he will never build is beyond me. Nothing I have said is slander. This is all true.

As far as not being able to prove he's not a PhD that is a ridiculous statement. The burden of proof falls on the one making the claim. He can't say he's a doctor then tell others to prove he's not. That doesn't even begin to make sense. A PhD is a huge accomplishment. Don't try to downplay the academic achievement. If it wasn't important than Umar wouldn't fake like he has one.

Like I said, he talks a good game and clearly good enough to have folks here believing him. But his actions don't match his words. I thought that would be obvious with the theft of our people's money for his phony school but I guess not.

Tariq forever lost credibility to me when he was the embodiment of a black stereotype for MTV. Not that ppl can't redeem themselves but is buddy even educated or just peddling things he never even had the opportunity to legitimately research? I'll pass on him as well.

I remember someone asking where he got his PHD from. He said hes not gonna mention it because he dont want to school to receive backlash because of his views or something along those lines.

Dude has had scholars in his Hidden Colors DVD's and is very knowledgable for some who I believe does not have a college degree. Like someone said, you let these European institutions validate your "education" 

Part of me would HATE to have Malcolm X in his prime during this day and age, the slander he would receive today
