Why Does Umar Harass Dead People?

Okay, you guys, please just bear with me for a few minutes.  Please? Thank you for your kind indulgence.

I have a question.  Why does Umar insist on harassing dead folk?

I don't know of anyone, other than Umar Johnson, who records himself visiting the graves of dead people to commentate on their lives, which I don't necessarily have an issue with...but then he advertises his activities and speaking engagements.

WTF?

This time, the unfortunate victims were Robert Purvis, and his wife Harriet Forten Purvis.

By the way, Mr. Purvis was three-quarters European, and inherited his wealth from his English father who was common law married to Mr. Purvis's mother, a free woman of color.  His wife was also a mixed race person. When his wife died, Mr. Purvis married a European woman, similarly to Umar's supposed relative, Frederick Douglass. Also, like Umar's supposed relative, Robert Purvis was a feminist.  I don't believe that Umar espouses feminism.  Umar clearly doesn't respect women.  On the other hand...
The Purvises' egalitarian marriage and activist partnership presented a unique phenomenon. Few such relationships existed during the Victorian era. Their marriage demonstrated one man's commitment to the concepts of equality and freedom of expression. Further, it revealed one woman's ability to transcend contemporary mores to share in both the private and public spheres of her husband's life and work.

It doesn't seem to me that Mr. Purvis, or Mr. Douglass for that matter, would address a woman as a 'feminazi' or a 'pig' or a 'maggot' for disagreeing with him, telling the truth, or asking legitimate questions of him.

But anyway, the Purvises were deeply involved in the Abolitionist movement in the United States, with Mr. Purvis helping to found the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833, serving as the president of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society from 1845 until 1850 and spoke in England on behalf the cause.

The Purvises did a lot of great things to advance the cause of our people.  They are to be respected.



So why on earth is Umar Johnson using their grave sites to advertise his tours, trips and speaking engagements?

Am I the only one who thinks this is highly disrespectful?

Talk to a sister and let me know.
