Umar Johnson is the man our fathers warned us about... REPEAT:  Umar Johnson is the man our fathers warned us about... ONE MORE TIME:  Umar Johnson is the man our fathers warned us about. Even the light-skinned, 'albino' women see this. Maybe it is the women who can finally open our people's eyes to the truth. Now, I admit that I posted this video because This is FUNNY!

Hypocrisy and Deflection

Image
Umar, how dare you? You actually made a video, after your perfunctory apologies, primarily blaming " Negroes " for sharing, meme-ing, and discussing the fuckery YOU put out there. Oh, that fuckery that you put out was supposedly a 'conversation' for you and Seti and was only to be seen by your supporters. Umar, don't you know how this Internet thing works?  The Internet is public to anyone who has a device and an internet connection.  Once you put anything out there, it's out there.  The train has left the station as soon as you click Send. If you meant that clownery for Seti alone, then why not call him with that mess and spare the rest of us? How dare you blame 'Negroes' for loving drama when YOU bring the drama? Then you have the unmitigated gall to complain about being memed?  Do the following names ring a bell?

REAL work in Detroit...

Image
Hello, Detroit family! You have a gem in your midst and you may not even know it. Brother Marcus Kline has been working to educate our children in Detroit (and Chicago) for several years.  I suggest you all consider donating to Freedom Home Academy before giving your money to Umar, a supposed Prince , for a nonexistent school. From:   https://afrikan-resistance.blogspot.com/2016/07/marcus-kline-architect-visionary.html MARCUS KLINE: Architect, Visionary, Inspiration Marcus Kline with some of his many students. In the 90s in Chicago, I used to purchase and read the Frontline Magazine. I was impressed by how it pushed Black culture and radical thought. The magazine was far reaching across the United States and into other countries. It was the brainchild of Marcus Kline, who I had the opportunity to meet back then. The more I learn of this brother, the more impressive and inspiring are his contributions.    The Background Marcus Kline was bo...

Well, Damn...

Well, well, well...it looks as if our good sister Deborrah Cooper, could have been on to something.  To quote her: Cause you know, my personal position is that men who rant and rave about homosexuality all the time are suspect.  Historically these men are wrestling with their own demons about their sexual identity.  This has been the case numerous times with high profile men - both white and black.  Alabama Attorney General Troy King was one. Pastor Ted Haggard one.  Eddie Long ring a bell or have people forgotten already? From:   http://www.askheartbeat.com/ahb2010/unanswered-questions-about-a-five-million-dollar-school-for-black-boys/ Listen to Umar give his thoughts in homosexuality below. Meanwhile, no one can definitively verify his credentials.  But, anyway... Now, below, he not only says women talk too much and that they need verbal discipline. REALLY, UMAR???? WOW... Fast forward to yesterday where we find Umar ra...

Shameful

Image
Black family, we ought to be ashamed.  Look at this foolery we are holding up as leadership.  Men, who are supposedly among our best and brightest, are going online, in front of the world, acting like wannabe thugs. And if you all aren't particularly disappointed in Umar, a man who claims to be a : Scholar Clinical psychologist Child therapist Potential school founder I don't know what to tell you. Umar has been repeatedly been caught in lies, has not been willing or able to explain what has happened to the PayPal and GoFundMe money that people have donated, collected resumes from people from all over the world for jobs at a nonexistent school for which he hasn't even bought or leased a building, claims to be related to Frederick Douglass, and who cannot or will not definitively prove his credentials. And, yes, I'm holding Umar to a higher standard than Seti.  Why?  Because Umar claims to be a doctor if psychology who says he is the one to guide our so...

When "Keeping It Real" Goes Wrong

Image
Okay, y'all, I am so sorry to tell you, but we have just displayed before the world how idiotic some of our so-called best and brightest are. I mean, damn, is this a movement or is this the World Wrestling Federation? Let me break it down. It seems that Umar called for the elders of the our community to meet in hopes of settling some dispute. Honestly, I don't know who is disputing or what the dispute is about, but, if it calls for the elders to intervene, that certainly cannot be positive.  After all, I'm sure the elders have better things to do than trying to quiet down a couple of grown-ass so-called men who are behaving like third grade playground bullies on social media. Maybe the Sankofa bird can help... Now, this Seti has taken exception to Umar's "right" to call a meeting. Now, I don't know a whole lot about Seti, but I've never heard of him claiming to be a scholar with six, count 'em, SIX degrees, who is also a doct...

How Umar Could Shut Everyone Down

Image
Now, I know this seems very simplistic, but hang in there with me. If Umar is so sick and tired of people questioning his credentials, he can stop all of this and shut it all all by: Showing definitive proof of his credentials Showing his resume or curriculum vitae It's so simple, why he hasn't done it? WELL... Hold on to your hats, black people, because you will not even believe this.  Shoot, I saw it with my own eyes and I can't even believe it. Now, I'm about to give you some instructions.

A Master Manipulator...

Image
We know as African people, have a strong sense of collectivism.  This sense of collectivism is enhanced because those of us who are descended from enslaved Africans share a collective trauma.  In a real sense, we all suffer, in varying degrees, from Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, as best as I can describe it, is a collection of behaviors descendants of enslaved Africans engaged in that are adaptive, and not our real culture. One of these adaptive behaviors, based on our sense of collectivism, is that we tend to ride with whatever other Black people say and do, even when it doesn't make real sense. Enter Umar--the master manipulator... Umar knows that African people, especially those of us who are descendants of enslaved Africans, suffer from a collective trauma.  He knows we have love, concern and care for our children.  He knows we are susceptible to messages around lifting black people out of oppression. Umar is a master m...

It's P.O.P.A. Season?

Image
Well, well, well, it looks like Umar is up to his old tricks. Watching Umar's shenanigans  There is a video he's posted on the Umar Ifatunde page on Facebook of Umar walking around what appears to be a school . Now, there are a few things I noticed. I didn't notice a realtor sign indicating that the building is actually for sale Umar is constantly going on about "haters" I'm not sure why Umar thinks he can get $1.9 million from the same people he speaks ill of, lies to and disrespects when he hasn't raised half that amount (at least as far as we know) in the 2 to 5 years (depending on who you ask) he's been out here There is STILL no written plan on where the money is going to come from to fund the costs of running any school Umar would start Questions Does Umar have a count of prospective students? Does Umar have a curriculum outlined? Does Umar know the grade levels this school will have? Why is he looking at b...

Umar Under Investigation?

Image
Alright, Family, did y'all know that Umar is/was under investigation by the Pennsylvania Board of Psychology? In the video below, posted on August 29, 2016, he says at about one minute and 13 seconds into the video, Umar says he is being investigated by the Pennsylvania Board of Psychology . He doesn't say specifically why he is being investigated but he does note that the investigation was prompted by the complaints of " Negroes ."  I suppose these would be the same "Negroes" who were too " lazy " to go to the post office and get a stamp to mail their donations. Notice that this is the same event, sponsored by the Blessed Love Cultural Center in Los Angeles, CA, in which Umar claims Paypal engaged in sabotage by closing his account, even though he didn't have tax exempt status. Damn, Umar, those " Negroes " just won't stop, will they? Questions Why, specifically, was Umar being investigated? Is the investig...

Does the "Doctor" Research?

Image
Alright, good people, pay attention to this.  I mean really pay attention. Umar, the good "Doctor" is using unverified documents to prove his relationship to the Bailey/Douglass family.  In fact, in a video that he's since taken down, Umar calls himself "handling"  our good brother Tarence Bailey, a VERIFIED relative of Frederick Douglass. Umar says: Tarence Bailey is one of his trolls Tarence Bailey is a distant cousin of his but Umar doesn't "claim his ass" Tarence Bailey is speaking on behalf of Ken Morris, another Bailey cousin Stephen Henry Bailey is Frederick Douglass' first cousin and half brother He get letters inviting him to family reunions Tarence Bailey is motivated by "hate" and "jealousy" He is a certified member of the Bailey family No one in the family has exclusive rights to Frederick Douglass Wants people to ask Tarence Bailey if he and Frederick Douglass are with descendants of Isaac and Bet...

What Is Proof?

Image
Let us take a moment to think about the idea of proof.  What is proof?  What constitutes proof? Definition of Proof Proof is evidence sufficient to establish a thing as true, or to produce belief in its truth. Umar and Uncle Fred The so-called evidence that Umar Johnson is waving around as proof of his relationship to Frederick Douglass isn't proof. Evidence of family relationships includes birth certificates, marriage licenses, and the like. The booklet Umar is waving around doesn't prove any family relationship.  Whatever is in that booklet could well be based on unverified information. I also have to wonder why Umar didn't come up with  this "proof" when he was denounced by Ken Morris, instead of childishly calling Mr. Morris names on social media. And, if Umar is indeed a "doctor" of psychology, he, of all people, should know what constitutes proof.  And a booklet based on unverified information that looks like someone at Kinko...

What in the Actual F*ck?????

Image
Okay, y'all, I have to take a deep breath here. *DEEP BREATH* I hope you all will bear with me, excuse my potty mouth, and help me with this because I actually do not know what to make of this. I've noticed that Umar has been recording and posting on social media his counseling sessions. Frankly, I'm not sure that is appropriate, due to patient confidentiality and HIPAA laws , unless Umar has gotten authorization from his clients in the form of express written consent. Okay...that is disturbing enough. But I find this even more disconcerting... In a video posted on December 20, 2016, Umar seems to be either advertising his speaking events, counseling clients, proving his "African-ness," showing off his African-centered gear, proving that he is a  relative of Frederick Douglass ,  "proving" that he is a doctor and/or all of the above. All of what I am going to speak on is excerpted from the video below. Date:  Decem...

Breezing Through Detroit...AGAIN

Image
Here's a REAL question...how much money do you suppose Umar has he collected from the parents of children, who attend the public schools in Detroit, for his non-existent school? Hmmm..... Pay attention, Family... First, we have heard about the deplorable conditions of some of the public schools in Detroit, MI. We have children who want to actually go to schools that don't have rodents, mold, cold classrooms, etc. Meanwhile, there is someone who wants us to know that while Umar Johnson has collected over $350,000 dollars in donations, of which he has yet to explain what has happened to this money . However, Que Butter (who I don't know know who or where he or she is, but I love him/her), has collected $3,871 in donations and has managed to get classrooms, computers, telescopes, microscopes, GED prep classes, OSHA training, plumbing training and more. And what does Umar want you to know? He wants you to know that, he, the Prince of Pan-Africani...

Narcissism -- Johnson v Trump

Narcissistic Personality Disorder  is a psychological disorder in which the symptoms include an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others' feelings, an inability to handle any criticism, and a sense of entitlement. From:  http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/basics/symptoms/con-20025568 I contend that Umar Johnson and Donald Trump both have the characteristics of  Narcissistic Personality Disorder  and can be proven by their behaviors.  Do you agree? Characteristic Umar Johnson Donald Trump Has a grandiose sense of self-importance claims to have 6 degrees which cannot be verified claims to have graduated from Wharton School of Business Preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love believes he should have a residential school for which parents are supposed to turn their children over to him so that they never go home believes he has the right, be...

More Misogyny--Conscious Style?

Image
Oh my goodness, Sisters , when, oh, when will we learn?  Some of these butt-hurt men just will not stop it, even in the face of compelling evidence and proof of poor behavior by some of our so-called 'leaders.' Care for me to explain?  Alright, I'll be happy to. Have any of you ever heard of the Obsidian Network?  If you haven't, perhaps you are better off. Anyways, the Obsidian Network claims to be the 'voice of the everyday brother.' Well...okay... So I posted the link for my blog in the comment section of one of his videos, called Holding Maria Lloyd Accountable .  In this video, Obsidian is asking why Maria Lloyd isn't calling out Shaun King, then of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement for alleged impropriety regarding money, since she was questioning what Umar Johnson was doing with the donation money. These are not equivalent arguments. BLM is funded , as I understand it, by a gentleman named George Soros.  George Soros, according to the a...
