Sisters, why do we do this?
Okay, you all, I know I have spent a LOT of time dragging Umar Johnson, and for plenty of good reasons. But the more I think about it, the more I have entertained the conclusion that this isn't even about Umar.
It's about us as sisters and as women.
Seriously, why do sisters still support this man when it is clear that he is a charlatan?
Seriously, why do we (mostly sisters) not want to look at the truth of the matter?
Seriously, why do we want to believe in some bullshit a man is telling us without proof?
Seriously, why are we letting Umar Johnson, and these other so-called leaders, use us while simultaneously lying to us, lying on us, name-calling and disrespecting us to our faces?
Don't you realize who and what you are?
Don't you know you are a goddess?
Don't you know you deserve courtesy and respect?
Don't you know that if it were not for you, and your mothers, and your grandmothers, and those women before, these sorry excuses for men wouldn't be here to act the complete fools they are acting?
Oh, yes, my Dears, these low-vibrational, butt-hurt, ego-driven, narcissistic men are PROUD of their work in disrespecting us. Some of these men actually believe that disrespecting us is an accomplishment, and not only because they get money from it.
It is because they think that Black women are disposable, able to be sacrificed, able to be crucified at the altar of the wounded ego of these so-called "leaders."
Yet, we are steadily propping this up as "leadership." Holding that nonsense up as leadership at the sacrifice of ourselves, our children, our communities and our people is suicide to our spirits.
Sisters and women, we have to stop giving our power and our resources to people, including Black men who constantly and proudly disrespect and deceive us.

What did we do?
In the case of Umar Johnson, we:
- Allowed him to get away with lying about something that he didn't need to lie about on a national radio program
- Allowed him to get away with calling one of our sisters he CHOSE to have a relationship with a "tramp," a "maggot," and a "hoe" while some of us defended him
- Allowed him to insult his supporters, a good number of them who are our sisters, by calling them "trifling"
- Allowed him to get away with not displaying his credentials -- the credentials HE claims to have
- Allowed him to get away with calling one of our sisters a 'prop' for another man for questioning him about what he's done with the PayPal and GoFundMe donation money
- Allowed him to call one of our sisters "Miss Piggy" for offering to help him put a school together and for asking him about who he really is
- Allowed him to collect donation money for a school with no clear plan
- Allowed him to name-call and disrespect people, particularly our sisters, who ask VALID questions about this alleged school

| Stop being a sacrifice to these butt-hut men! |
WE did this. We are the Doctor Frankensteins who created this out-of-control monster who calls himself a "doctor of psychology."
So we HAVE to take him down.
We have to do this without letting our "brothers" run a guilt trip us about "tearing a black man down" while not saying a word when this black man was tearing us down at every turn -- and getting money from the community either in spite of it or because of it. We are DONE being crucified at the altar of the Black male ego, while they're tearing us down and building nothing but another generation of broken people.
Stop It!
Sisters and women, we have to stop giving our power and our resources to people, including Black men who constantly and proudly disrespect and deceive us.
