Be Your Own Leader

Sisters and Brothers, please bear with me.  Please, read this.  Take it in.  Receive it with the respect and love with which this is intended. 



From:  http://urbanintellectuals.com
You do not need a self-appointed leader.  You do not need a "leader" who gives himself ridiculous titles.  You do not need a "leader" who lies.  You do not need a "leader" who cannot prove he is who he says he is.  You do not need a "leader" who cannot stand to be questioned.  You do not need a "leader" who cannot or will not give an adequate explanation, or any explanation, of what is being done with money he's collected.  You do not need a "leader" who behaves unethically and unprofessionally.  You do not need a "leader" who treats the very people who tried to help him with utter disdain.  You do not need a "leader" who thinks it is an accomplishment to disrespect his brothers and sisters.

You are your own leader.  You are the leader of yourself.  You are the leader of your family.  You are a leader of your neighborhood.  You are a leader in your children's school.  You are the example.

You.

You can read for yourselves the same information that Umar Johnson is giving to you.  You can study. You can research. You can ask questions.  You can learn.  You can grow.  You can gain knowledge of how to do better.  You can put a plan into action.

You.

If you are not sure where to start, I can offer you some suggestions for reading materials.

Baby Mamma Number Three...

Umar Johnson has no right to tell anyone anything about families, children, or education as far as I'm concerned. Why? Because, y'all, Umar has just been "tagged" with Baby Mamma Number Three. I will not do the woman involved the disservice of putting her name out on this blog, but just pay attention to the video  below. This man, who is clearly irresponsible , who is telling you that he needs your donations to create a school for Black boys, although he can't explain where the money is , who tells you he isn't going to show you his plan because y'all too stupid to understand, unless you have a $10,000 check , then he can let you in on the plan, with his tax liens and a pretend relationship to Frederick Douglass, AND who has six degrees , none of which he has shown, who lies about celibacy , who has THREE, count 'em, THREE baby mammas , yet he is unapologetically African , who doesn't respect any man who is not committed to a Black wo...

A Fraction of A Man

Damnitall to hell!  I was just here, minding my own business, progressing and enjoying my life! BUT... I've sat back and watch more of Umar Johnson with his lies, schemes, scams, disrespect, danger, hypocrisy, usury, foolery, fuckery, and disregard of Black people and I'm beyond sickened of what I'm seeing in this goddamned fool who supposedly has six degrees. Oh my God!  Where do I start? Weakness At this block party, there were people, supposedly the New Black Panther Party, allegedly had assault weapons pointing down at the crowd from a roof of the trap bandos.  From what I understand of the laws of Delaware concerning open-carry weapons, having open-carry assault weapons is illegal.   Thank the heavens that nothing happened.  But, that situation, in and of itself is dangerous, especially with women, children and elders present.  Why have that at a "family" oriented block party?  What was Umar Johnson expecting?  Did he reall...

Don't Believe the Hype

Take a bit of advice from Public Enemy, please. Don't believe the hype ! What hype am I talking about? The idea the Umar Johnson has actually acquired a building, in my view, is a bunch of hype. Umar Johnson claims the has bought a building, or a set of buildings located at 610 - 611 East 17th Street in Wilmington, DE. Okay So, let's look at the records. Exhibit One is the records of recent sales in New Castle County, Wilmington, DE Exhibit One - Recent real estate sales in New Castle County, Wilmington, DE Let's look at Exhibit Two below where we see that the last purchase of this property was in 2017.
