Well of course you didn't. The story popped off the same week as Kanye's latest meltdown and on the social importance scale.
Jews > Black people.

Need a Umar v. Stephan A live debate. Dont care the topic. Get ya dictionaries ready fams
Much of what he says is ahistorical though. Black people didn't need other minorities to fight their most important struggles. Those minorities joined Black people.
Hip hop is considered black culture (and not BlPOC culture), even though scores of Latinos, Black immigrants, Asians, and Arabs (overseas) have been participating in it and promoted it.
From all the stuff that gets posted about him here, I don't see much love FOR black folks from Umar, only judgment and admonishment. It's even more true when some Black folks show support to other folks subject to the injustices of the American system. It's a terrible mindset to have.
When does he ever celebrate those black folks who excel and move us into fields where we are few? When does he ever highlight the advances that are happening on the African continent he keeps claiming? I'd like to see more of that instead of constant complaining about who people want to marry and help.
That, "People of Color" stuff KILLS me
The man is saying multiculturalism is the reason why Black issues are not given the attention they need.You know how teachers only focus on the students who need a little more help…? No child left behind. It’s the same thing.
Umar is trying to enlighten those who DON’T know. The ones who are insecure or afraid to be themselves. Those are the ones he’s trying to empower….
Why would Umar need to help those of us who are already sharp of mind and doing our thing already?

There's a lot to unpack in this statement, from the fact that it is a remix of a fascist/tribalist trope, to the fact that it doesn't align with the reality of the last hundred years of Black history in America. If anything, he's misleading those who are listening to him.
I worry about the state of Black politics in America when people like him gain prominence in the sociopolitical discussion. After decolonization, there were movements to undo the borders created by the European presence throughout the 1960s all the way to today (see the current Ethiopian conflict). The embrace of xenophobic views gave the African continent the most devastating conflicts after WWII. We could learn from that here instead of trying to walk down the same path.
Exactly. Those other ethnicities smile in your face and laugh behind you’re back. They only align with black people when it’s a convenient. Some people are so gullible

I have a hard time believing this given the topics he chooses to focus on and how he approaches them.Umar is not promoting XENOPHOBIA, he’s promoting self sufficiency…. Collaboration amongst races instead of EXPLOITATION.

Okay… Mr.gry60 why don’t other races practice inclusion…. Yet we need to practice inclusion just for the sake of doing so? Others don’t so, why should we….? That’s his point

All I'm saying about Umar is, don't be fooled because he is eloquent.

I don't have anything against economic empowerment (I personally don't ask for discount from black businesses), but too many take that and extend in ways that are detrimental.
