I don't, but that's because I think Tariq Nasheed is a joke, like Umar Johnson. They both appeal to what's essentially the lowest common denominator of "conscious" folk who are often sexist and homophobic. He's written and said far too much that is toxic against women of color for me to be able to support him.

I'm sure Romany Malco provided some decent insight though. He's such an underrated personality and has so much to say.

Romany was on there saying things that Tariq had been saying for years

and I already know you won't provide any damning evidence against Tariq

everybody who speaks to empowerment has appeared on hidden colors so I'd have to assume they're all apart of the lowest common denominator?

Brotha, one needs to look no further than the titles and descriptions of some of Nasheed's writings to realize that he has a strenuous relationship with women of color, particularly black women. 

However, don't just take my screenshot as the primary indicator, look up some of the articles that black feminists have written critiquing Nasheed. I'm not saying believe them 100%, but where there's smoke, there's fire. It's important for folk to really do their research on those who are trying to empower us.

Furthermore, I will admit that I made a bit of a reach with the "lowest common denominator" statement, and to some extent I apologize for that. Hidden Colors has filled a dearth relating to topics that many documentaries have failed to touch on. The documentaries have even guided many conversations in some of my circle of friends. However, the films and the individuals in them are not without fault. While everyone in the documentaries seeks to speak on empowerment, many (including Rasheed and Johnson), have a narrow lens as to who in the black community should be empowered and what empowerment looks or sounds like. 

Still, it sounds like I should probably take some of my own advice and do my research by listening to the episode with Romany before co-signing 100%.

Stop it.

"The Mack Within", "The Art of Mackin", "The Elite Way", "The Art of Gold Digging", "Play or Be Played: What Every Female Needs to Know..."

There's nothing "strenuous" about those titles, cut it out.

I think you hit the nail on the head in that last paragraph. You should probably take some time to actually listen to what he's saying and then form your own opinion rather than allowing your opinion to be fed to you, entirely from "articles that black feminists have written". That's the very least you can do before speaking so strongly against the man.

But anyway, I'm also curious which articles in particular you're speaking about, just so I can read up and see what the issues with him are from a different perspective.
 
/\ Listened to that earlier.

I like when ppl give harsh truths. Someone needs to post that in the Donald Trump thread in General.

****** really in there trying to cast blame on ppl that didn't "vote". It is mind blowingly bizarre to me that people still believe in the process

It's like even when you want to entertain the foolishness and remind people that Hilary won the popular vote...they still want to guilt trip you into believing that somehow this the fault of people who didn't vote.

And then they try guilt trip you with the usual: Your "ancestors" died for you to vote, You have no right to complain if you didn't vote, etc.
 
I don't agree with Ken saying we shouldn't be involved in the process. We can't expect the process or this country to change from being outsiders and from not participating.

Stephen A's rant towards Colin Kapernick was hilarious, because of that. But he likes to tap dance. I can understand completely why someone doesn't choose to vote.

Someone who votes in Maine's vote means a lot less than someone in California or Texas.

I agree to a certain extent. We've been seemingly fighting a losing battle for equality/inclusion for centuries. Putting a black face at the helm of such a system can only do but so much because said black face is captaining a ship that sails for the interest of the majority white race.

I think the overall message that KM was trying to advocate for was to stop seeking inclusion/acceptance in a system that has historically been against us, and start developing our own system, one wherein we're the focal point, instead.

It depends on what you mean by "participating". 

It's completely asinine to me that people believe that they realistically could gain the political power needed to enact real change and reform without militarization, nationalism, and self-reliance. How on earth can we put faith into a system that was built when they considered us sub-human? Why do we want to participate in that?

Believing in this political system and believing change is possible through it...is akin to "asking for a seat at the table". Power is not given, it's taken.

I'll say it again, anyone that believes that these people are just going to concede their supremacy over you after generations of "voting"...is no different than the people that believe Jesus is going to save them one day.

Doing the SAME THINGS and expecting different results. What do they call that again?

I agree with Schultz about her campaign though. It WAS an "I'm not him" thing.

The whole superdelegates thing rubbed people the wrong way and then you have your target groups begrudgingly supporting you after slandering you the whole road. It doesn't matter who he is when no one likes you either.

we're fighting and begging to be part of a system that was designed to be against us

Then what do you do?

Why do you stay here?

A self defeatist attitude certainly won't change things and it will stop you from trying to change things. I think that's also part of it. Just like a football team that is always losing, it becomes part of the culture. It's not even outside forces, it's from within. It goes both ways.

He's a lawyer, what he said also applies to what he does. Why are you participating in something that is against you? Isn't it their legal and prison system? Are you trying to beat them at their game? So that's not possible in politics also?

His view point isn't well thought out. Change doesn't come overnight. This world is thousands of years old. Slavery to integration didn't happen overnight.

She didn't do a good job. She was running as a front runner thinking she had it in the bag.
 
I don't feel defeated at all

the current system has to fall or we need our own system

we've been part of the system since slavery with no progression

we had a black president in office with our people being murdered in the streets under his watch

not harassed, murdered
