Umarianism Is A Cult...

Image
TrueBlackAnonymous had the fortune, or misfortune, to view a video that was posted on Youtube.  In this video, Umar Johnson addresses his upcoming hearing before the State Board of Psychology of Pennsylvania. In this video, Umar Johnson is lamenting the "coons" who may have called, written, or emailed the appropriate authorities. It's less than smart to disrespect people who could be witnesses against you. Umar Johnson further states that the representative told him that all of the people complaining about him were Black. That wouldn't happen.  No state representative would do this. Umar Johnson claims that Black folks called "crackers" to tell on him  (I think that language is very revealing) when he's telling people how to solve their situations with their children.  So he thinks call the State Board of Psychology of Pennsylvania "crackers" is smart.  We don't think so. In regards to the GoFundMe, Umar Johnson cla

Snitching v. Accountability

From:   http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/17/AR2007081701715.html?sid=ST2009040302296 ...words and connotations are powerful. And to many of us, the word "snitch" brings to mind a distant memory of a house slave telling the master when another slave tried to escape. So TrueBlackAnonymous is watching the Internet and seeing quite a lot of feedback on the hearing of Umar Johnson before the State Board of Psychology of Pennsylvania.  Some reactions include those who claim, as Umar Johnson does, that other Blacks who don't want to see Blacks be successful, accomplish a goal, or speak truth to power. Not true.  We want to see Black people be successful, accomplish goals and speak truth to power. Except that person is NOT Umar Johnson. Umar Johnson is NOT a leader, no matter how much posturing and loud talking he does, because he's  unethical and lacks integrity .  The examples of Umar Johnson behaving in unprincipled ways are many

Umar GoFundMe is Shut Down!

Image
Finally, GoFundMe seems to have seen the light and shut down Umar Johnson's GoFundMe account.  We know that the only reasons crowdfunding entities will shut down a crowfunding account all revolve around complaints from donors and/or fraud.

Umar, It Wasn't "Jealous Negros," It Was YOU

Image
Dude, we tried to tell you.  We tried to help you.  But you basically shitted on everyone who offered assistance to you from Boyce Watkins, to Chantall Beaty, to followers who offered to assist you with your curriculum, to every person you blocked from your social media for asking fair, valid and legitimate questions. For example, Boyce Watkins tried to help you by offering to help you draft a business plan for your school and to review your operating plan. But did you listen?  No, you didn't.  Did you even respectfully decline the assistance of Boyce Watkins?  No.  You thought it was appropriate to make memes  and insult the man when he only offered to assist you in your stated goal of opening a school for black boys. Chantall Beaty offered to help you, Umar Johnson, come up with a business plan and to connect you to a network of other international businesses and businesspeople who work in the areas that YOU claimed he wanted to teach the children who would attend his

A Note From An Educator...

Dear Black Community, I have nothing new to add to this three ring circus show and it’s main clown, Umar Johnson. Just be clear, I choose not to add anything new to the subject. When I attempted to inform our community about the con-artist Umar, people were silent and often being intimidated by him and his followers. I grew up in Englewood, Southside Chicago, clowns and circus acts don’t intimidate me. I will speak truth as I see it needed. I don’t say anything else about this issue because I will not validate this clown by trying to have a public discussion with him. I have no further responses to whatever Umar says about me because I’ve put it in writing and I’ve said everything I need to say. I honestly don’t even like to use his name. Those articles I wrote are below. Considering his disrespect of his own father and his insults to every segment of the Black community, I don’t expect him to listen to me. I have nothing new to add to this mess. Also, a lot of common sense and intel

"Realtor" Dashes Through The Snow....

Image
From: Chicago Tribune January 12, 2017 Chicago Public Schools says it will try to speed up the process of finding new uses for buildings shuttered by school closings in 2013 by putting about 30 vacant properties on the market. Putting the remaining properties up for bid "will accelerate the reuse and revitalization of former school sites and help spur new value from properties throughout the city," CPS spokesman Michael Passman said in a statement. Bids are due by March 13, the district said. CPS would then negotiate with the top two bidders and consult with the local alderman before making final decisions on each potential sale. Privately operated charter schools will not be allowed to take over the closed buildings, the district said. If the Chicago Tribune article is true, Umar Johnson, or anyone else, will not be able to open a privately operated school, which is what Umar Johnson is proposing. Even more, there is an arduous bidding process one had t

Umar...The Grinch that Stole Christmas

Image
Umar Johnson lies like you and I blink our eyes.  He lies almost instinctively.  He lies like we breath air and drink water.  It is simply what he does. So, what is Umar Johnson's latest lie that TrueBlackAnonymous caught him in? From: Twitter.com/DrUmarJohnson Well...if you go the GoFundMe message to him in regards to their intention to take down Umar's FDMG campaign unless he provides GoFundMe with a statement of funds and with the contact information for the realtor of FDMG.  Umar Johnson claims he has not complied with their request because he has already complied with their request by providing bank details and information to find out if a single penny has been withdrawn from the FDMG account. Let's break this lie down piece by piece. GoFundMe This message that Umar Johnson himself posted on his Twitter account from GoFundMe indicates that Umar Johnson has not responded with the information GoFundMe requested. Remember when Umar Johnson's GoFundMe a

Critical Thinking...

Image
Sometimes it is is best to do 'call a thing a thing.' Okay, let's do it. Umar Johnson is not well.  He's not well at all. Please, good people, let's put on our thinking caps.think about it.  Really, really THINK. Umar Johnson has been called before the State of Pennsylvania on a matter of judging his fitness to help people with the most private and intimate parts of their lives and the lives of their children. So what does Umar Johnson do? Umar Johnson gets on a radio program and threatens violence against two people who he believes has reported him to the state of Pennsylvania Board of Psychology.  He has publicly threatened to "slap the shit" and "whip asses" of two people. TrueBlackAnonymous suspects that neither one of these gentlemen named are afraid. Start listening at from about 40 minutes until about 45 minutes But, are we surprised?  After all, he's threatened to "slap the shit" out of several people,

So Misguided...

Image
Oh my misguided people... TrueBlackAnonymous has just learned that some well-meaning yet misguided people are petitioning to have Umar Johnson's license restored by the state of Pennsylvania. I am so, so, very, very sorry, my good, well-meaning people.  Umar Johnson will not have his license restored by the state of Pennsylvania. Why? Because Umar Johnson NEVER had a license to practice psychology in the state of Pennsylvania. I repeat... UMAR JOHNSON NEVER HAD A LICENSE TO PRACTICE. Therefore, Umar Johnson cannot have a license restored that he never had in the first place.  This is why he's being called to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Board of Psychology.  He's being called because it is illegal to practice psychology without a license in the same way that it is illegal to practice medicine without a license. Get it? Oh my misguided people, the brain trust known has TrueBlackAnonymous implores you to stop wasting any more of your time def

Suddenly Umar's Concerned About White People?

Image
Oh my dear white people, I know you're so very worried about and bothered about us Black folks, Negros, and " coons " constantly calling you to ask about this person we know as Umar Johnson. Oh my dear white people, we are so sorry for harassing you because of our unreasonable need to find out who this person, who claims to be a therapist, a clinical psychologist, and a school psychologist we know as Umar Johnson actually is. Oh, good dear white people, we confess that Umar Johnson did his best to protect your time and your sensibilities from us Negros and "coons" who dare take your time to ask you about who this person we know as Umar Johnson really is. How dare we! How dare we want Umar Johnson to show and prove who and what he actually is, even to the point of constantly harassing and bothering you precious white people? Umar Johnson claims he doesn't even understand why it's relevant that he doesn't have a doctorate , even though he re

Does Umar Have a License -- NO!!

Image
Umar Johnson let us know that the State Board of Psychology is going to have a hearing allegations that include holding himself out as a person who is authorized to practice psychology, to provide psycho-educational evaluations and psychological counseling. From:  Pennsylvania State Board of Psychology Umar Johnson is accused of doing so without proper authorization (i.e. a license).  This hearing isn't about "de-licensing" Umar Johnson because Umar Johnson NEVER had a license. According to the Pennsylvania Professional Psychologists Act , a board can lawfully suspend or revoke a license are as follows: Failing to demonstrate the qualifications or standards for a license contained in this act or regulations of the board. Making misleading, deceptive, untrue or fraudulent representations in the practice of psychology. Practicing fraud or deceit in obtaining a license to practice psychology. Displaying gross incompetence, negligence or misconduct in carrying

Not Rejoicing...

Image
I know, I know, I know...you all may think that the brain trust known as TrueBlackAnonymous is rejoicing in the potential demise of Umar Johnson . We are not. In fact, it's sad.  And the reason it's so sad is that all of this could have been avoided. If Umar Johnson has the credentials he claims to have then it shouldn't be a problem to show them.  In fact, he could have done this a LONG time ago and squashed this before things got this far.   If he doesn't have the credentials that he claims to have, then he was lying and gets what he gets.  If Umar Johnson wasn't disrespecting, name calling, meme-ing people who ask valid questions this would not have happened. If Umar Johnson didn't record himself acting a damned fool (remember the Seti rant?), then this would not have happened.  If Umar Johnson he had shown the people some kind of documentation showing how the money was being used or shown bank statements to his donors, this would not have happened.

It's Falling Apart...

Image
It seems that Umar Johnson's schemes are falling apart. How do I know?  Once again, Umar tells us himself via his social media accounts.  Let's focus on Umar's Twitter account.  Please have a look at Exhibit 1-A below, which displays a post that includes a vague threat to return the donations and move to Africa. Exhibit 1-A Well, now I don't know about his moving to Africa, but I'm willing to bet that there's no donation money to return.  Perhaps he thinks moving to Africa would get him out of his child support obligations, though. But, it's not over.  Go Fund Me has joined the State of Pennsylvania in the activity of digging in Umar Johnson's ass.  It seems that the good "doctor" hasn't responded to requests from Go Fund Me to show proof that Umar's campaign is valid.  Umar likely told GoFundMe that they were attacking him because he's a true Pan-African prince  working to "save his people" and blah, blah, bl

Umar Just Can't Stop...

Image
Umar Johnson is NOT original.  No idea that he has passed on is original.  Umar Johnson has simply co-opted ideas from Marcus Garvey, Amos Wilson, Jawanza Kunjufu and so many others. He's even co-opted art work for the T-shirts he sells. Stolen design From:  https://www.emekstudios.com/ Now, it's been said he's had a rendering of Colin Kaepernick on his Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages by an artist named Shawnna L. Williams .  Allegedly, Ms. Williams learned that Umar Johnson posted her portrait of Colin Kapernick and has asked him to remove it from his page, since he was supposedly using it without giving credit or getting permission. Umar Johnson ignored her requests, reported her (presumably to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) and blocked her and her supporters.  Sound familiar? Shawnna L. Williams , or any other artist, has every right to tell Umar Johnson, or anyone else who uses her work without acknowledgement or without giving credit, t

Do You See It?

Image
Well, it seems that Umar Johnson is removing videos.  Or, he could be having them uploaded again under different names/channels/accounts. I am wondering if you see the same picture I do.  Look closely. I'm sure you see it. Remember when Umar said that 60,000,000.00 wasn't him? Where did the original video come from? Isn't this the channel that Umar claimed that someone was using to pretend to be him? Do I need to say anything more?  Umar Johnson is caught in yet another lie.  Damn.  To paraphrase VannDigital, another L for Pimpin' J . Who is Henry Ross?

Message From A Brother...

Below is a message from a true brother, from an educated brother, from a brother who has really done the Pan-Africanist work , and from a brother who loves and wants to protect his people from charlatans, frauds and con men. Writing is an art form. I appreciate when people admire my art, my writing. I especially appreciate when people appreciate my critical essays on Black “leadership.” Our people are too often enamored by quacks, frauds, and con-artists with fake credentials who espouse vitriolic rhetoric, non-productive hatred, and demagogic ideological stupidity. So yeah, I’ve done critical essays on many of these frauds over the years. I appreciate this good sister in Canada, doing great things for the Pan-Afrikan community, who has done a full read of my essay, my article, and a letter from the Frederick Douglass Family on the imposter “leader” Umar Johnson. Also, I want to thank this anonymous blogger named True Black Anonymous (TBA) who also uploaded the same video. I don’t

Go Fund Umar Johnson...

Image
Go Fund Umar Johnson at that deceptive GoFundMe account that Umar Johnson has set up through the well-known crowd funding outlet.  Because, that is exactly what anyone who is donating to that account is doing...funding Umar Johnson. We need to face facts, Brothers and Sisters.  We do believe that the good people who donated to Umar Johnson had all the best intentions in the world.  They thought that they were helping our children.  They believed Umar Johnson's fantasy, "heaven on earth," Pan-African Nationalist version of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for Black boys and young men, so they donated.  Some donated repeatedly, bless their hearts. Now it's clear that no school is forthcoming.  No matter how many videos that Umar Johnson makes looking as though he is buying a school building and/or buying a piece of land, no matter how many scripted or unscripted interviews that Umar Johnson does, no matter who he tries to blame, and no matter how many

Proving a Relationship

Image
In a conversation that the brain trust of TrueBlackAnonymous had with Kenneth Morris, the CEO of the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives , we were told that one of the things the organization does is to spend time vetting people who claim to be related to Frederick Douglass.  Believe it or not, Umar Johnson isn't the only person who claims a relationship to Frederick Douglass. It happens. Most of these people mean no harm.  They just want to verify what their mothers, aunts and grandmothers may have told them.  The Bailey family, through the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives, however, demands to have records, such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, slave records, and perhaps even DNA. If they happen to find out that there's no relationship to the Bailey/Douglass family, then that is what it is.  But, I suppose it never hurts to ask or investigate. No harm, no foul, right? Well, one would think. But not in the case of Umar Johnson.  Umar

St. Paul College -- SOLD

Image
According to the December 6, 2017 issue of the South Boston News & Record and Mecklenburg Sun , St. Paul's College has been sold to a Chinese-backed company for $2.5 million dollars. The buyer listed on the deed, recorded Monday, November 27, 2017, is Xinhua Education Investment Corporation . So, I looked up the corporation, linked above.  Notice that there is a list of names associated with Xinhua Education Investment Corporation, including a Mr. David Lu.  David Lu has a website with a street address, a telephone number, a fax number, and an email address.  In other words, the Xinhua Education Investment Corporation, by all appearances, is a legitimate business, with partners and a formal organization.  Mr. Lu also had no issue with listing his credentials, degrees, and experiences, unlike Umar Johnson. From:  http://davidlu.com/index.html I don't know Mr. Lu.  I have never met him nor have I ever spoken with him.  However, I don't think that Mr. Lu, who i
