Umar Johnson -- Exposed

Okay, I admit it, you all...I've been studying Umar Johnson. Let's face it, dude is a phenomenon. He may even say a thing or two, from time to time, that may sound sensible. I admit it.  He's something to watch. But here is what I don't get: Why would Umar continue to threaten people who ask legitimate questions? Wouldn't it be easier to answer the questions, provide documentation, come up with a blueprint, a floor plan, a worksheet, a curriculum outline by grade, or perhaps a budget, about the school to which so many people have donated? Unless Umar is defensive about something... Why would a person who is supposedly a professional psychologist, a clinical psychologists, and a school psychologist, a professional of any kind, dare record himself asking inappropriate questions, cursing people, name-calling people, bullying people, and threatening people? Wouldn't a professional board, a state board, or other official entity call Umar in and que

Good people...I'm just going to ask a question.  I'm not going to spend a lot of time analyzing and waxing on about this. Here are my questions: Is it appropriate for a real professional doctor of psychology, a male doctor of psychology, who is in charge of an organization (which would make it a doctor/client relationship) such as National Independent Black Parent Association, to be out to lunch or dinner with the members ( all of who are female ) of his organization, and ask about the maximum ages of the men the female members would allow their daughters to date, and the maximum ages the women themselves would consider dating, let alone add his opinions about who he would date and who he is attracted to , and talk to his Facebook live viewers about which woman the viewer is attracted to? Would it be appropriate to record the above scenario on Facebook Live and post it on his page? Even Robin Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell might agree that these are BLURRED LINES...

You know, Umar works really hard for the people, ya feel me? So while he's in Japan, he's GOT to show y'all how the Prince of Pan Africanism gets his Bruce Leroy on, ya feel me? He's showing how the Prince of Pan Africanism does it, ya feel me? It's very beautiful there in the Japanese spa, ya feel me? But he's not just showing how he does it for himself, ya feel me? He's showing you how he does his relaxation, Japanese style, for those of you who can't relax how the Prince of Pan Africanism does it, ya feel me? He's showing you the nice Japanese spa for all you sisters and brothers who are struggling and can't do it Prince of Pan Africanism style because, of course, it is about everyone , not just him, ya feel me? Of course, he shouted out the "family" from North Philly, Brooklyn, Harlem, Bronx, Queens, Long Island, Staten Island, Money Earn' Mount Vernon, who will see him on June 2nd, ya feel me? The Detroit &quo

Oh my goodness!  Oh my goodness!  Oh my goodness! I am quoting a Paul Nedry who commented in another blog post.  See below: Umar just posted a video where he states that the "No Child Left Behind" is a way a parent can force a school district to move a student to another school.  That law was repealed in 2015.  This is the supposed expertise that parent are paying for in private consultations or are calling in for advice to Umar's weekly parent teleconference.  This is the expertise that comes from the founder of the National Independent Black Parents Association.  Sheesh. --Paul Nedry Yes, that's what the man said.  I pray that Mr. Nedry doesn't mind that I quoted him. So you all know me...I went on to research to see if there was such a video..and low and behold, there is. Go to the about the 51 minute mark and listen to about the 53 minute mark Between the 51 minute and the 53 minute marks, Umar says that if a parent doesn't believe their

Well, well, well, color me disgusted. I've been trying my best to stay away from this.  Really I have, but here I am asking the questions that I believe we need to ask. Here goes. Does a real, professional psychologist and therapist with multiple degrees, including a doctorate, even as a fundraiser, auction himself off for a ' confidential , all-expense paid' date with a client or potential client? I'm thinking..... no , that would be highly inappropriate, unethical and unprofessional. Does a real, professional psychologist and therapist with multiple degrees, including a doctorate, host events for women only with a dress code and the banishment of children, especially a male professional psychologist and therapist with multiple degrees, including a doctorate? I'm thinking..... no , that would be highly inappropriate and unprofessional. Does a real, professional psychologist and therapist with multiple degrees, including a doctorate advertis

Greetings, Family. You know, I've been thinking about how Umar claims he is the Number One Most Requested Black Scholar on the Planet (yes, that's quite a mouthful), although I don't know who Umar would know this.  What organization or publication tracks the number of requests a speaker gets so that Umar, or the rest of us would know that? *SHRUG* But, if it's true, would be a testament to his popularity and scholarship . He does say that when he goes to speak, even overseas, that he pays all of his own expenses, in addition into paying for insurance, paying his staff, and paying for the venue. That got me to wondering... If Umar is so popular, so well-liked, so respected, so scholarly, and so requested, wouldn't it stand to reason that the colleges, universities and groups who request Umar to come and speak would actually pay, or help pay for, his accommodations? For example, whenever I travel for a job, the company pays for all associated expenses

Do you all remember the interview that Umar Johnson did on VladTV around October of 2016? Do you all remember when Vlad asked him about his degrees?  Do you remember how he responded to Vlad? Well, if you don't, here is a direct quote when Vlad asked him if he has his doctorate. "Yes, Sir!  I have my doctorate from the Philadelphia School of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), July of 2012.  An American Psychological Association-approved program.  I would add a disclaimer to that.  As you've probably seen in the world of social media, some of the brother and sisters in my community have created a falsified claims (not a typo) that I did not have a doctorate.  Part of that stems from the fact that I don't advertise the schools that I graduated from.  Obviously, when I speak at universities, they have to vet my background.  So I have to provide that information to them.  The reason that I never advertise the universities is that I know that many if them would take issue

Okay, okay, okay... Is it just me, or is anyone else rather disturbed at Umar's 'messiah' talk? When Umar, in the video below, talks about how great he is, compared to the elders who dare question him.  Umar asks the following: How many kids have you saved from special education? How many black parents have you saved? How many prisons have you been in to help out? How many school superintendents call you up when they don't know what to do? How many suicide attempt you done stopped (again, another grammatical error from a man with six, count 'em, six degrees)? How many kids HAVE you saved from special education, Umar? Where are the testimonials of the children you've 'saved' and their parents, Umar? Where are the studies, from your 'scholarship,' so we can read about what you've done, Umar? What black parents do you speak of, Umar? What have you done to "save" black parents, Umar?   Where are the testimonials fr

Greetings, Family. I'd like to continue on with my stream of consciousness processing of the video below.  I don't even know what I'm going to write just yet.  I'm simply going to follow my heart on this one, because there is just SO MUCH WRONG in this video.  So, I hope you bear with me and charge any mistakes I may make to my head and not my heart. Here I go! In a great portion of this video, Umar discusses the various sites, museums, historical places, and other places that are significant to the history of Black people, Africans, in North America.  I have no issue whatsoever, with taking children to see these sites, learning the history of them, and learning their meaning in the history of our people in these United States. However, I do have some observations. In the video, Umar claims that the tour will cost about $3,000 per child.  But he's only charging the parents $2,000.  So it seems that out of the goodness of his heart, he is covering the

Just listen...really just listen to this. I'm not sure what to say about this video.  I really don't.  For once, your sister, Trueblackanonymous is dumbfounded. For one thing, Umar says he has to drop the "Garvey Grenade" and threatens to do a "Who's Who of Dr. Umar Haters" in Brooklyn, NY for the "Negroes who don' t know how to stop." But here's the thing, my good people.  Umar could stop this by simply answering the basic questions most reasonable people have asked AND showing proof of who he is. He compares himself to Marcus Garvey and compares the elders who are critiquing him to W.E.B. DuBois.  That's interesting.  But then Umar, unfortunately, goes on, because, quote, "I stands my ground.  I don't need no team.  When you see POPA, you see POPA solo." I'm assuming POPA is an acronym for Prince of Pan Africanism. Dang. Now you all watch out, Elders.  Umar isn't going to take this "

Who exactly is Umar Johnson?  Did anyone look at Umar's own website to learn anything about him?  For example, if one looks at Umar's own website at http://www.drumarjohnson.com/#!services ,  you will notice that there are several PDF documents found.  One of which is a brochure, called DrUmarJohnsonBrochurePDF, highlights the services that Umar claims he offers. First page of Umar Johnson's brochure The first page of his brochure calls attention to Umar's supposed relationship to Frederick Douglass.  I recall the objections to this via the statements that the Bailey/Douglass family has made.  Also, there are no sources, like birth records, death records, marriage records, or divorce decrees, for this abbreviated family tree. I then noticed that Umar speaks about topics like: Special Education Law ADHD and Black Boys Post-Traumatic Slave Disorder Effective Parenting Practices Understanding Depression in Black Children The Over-Identification of Black

Hey, y'all!  It's me, your girl, TrueBlackAnonymous!  I have a question and I'd like for you to weigh in.  Here's the question: Is there anything in my blog that could rise to the level of defamation of Umar Johnson? I wonder, because it seems that a friend/comrade/colleague of Umar Johnson, someone named Anné McMillion, has 'warned' me, on this blog, that I will be reported.  She doesn't say to whom I will be reported. I was 'warned' by her under the following posts: Tubman-Ross Relatives Respond... Pricing and Billing Umar...The Gift that Keeps Giving I do not see why I would be 'warned' for the reasons listed below: I am stating my opinion.  I'm entitled to do so.  No one has to believe my opinion.  And I don't mind if people don't believe my opinion.  But, I have the right to state it. I am not lying on Umar Johnson.  In fact, if you take a look at most of my posts, you will see that they are based on wh

Umar, Umar, Umar, you know, I want to give you a piece of advice.  I really do.  Do you want to know what it is? {In my best Bernie Mac voice...} Learn to shut what they call the f#!@ up! Why do I say that?  Because when you run off at the mouth, it's usually open for you to put your foot in it. How do I know? Well, here's my evidence. An image of the original video.  Note that it is dated July 7, 2014 . But, wait, there's more! Please note the video below, the same video that is pictured above from You Tube.  Start at about 1 minute and 20 seconds to notice that you, Umar Johnson, claim to be a direct descendant of Frederick Douglass (in addition to making allusions to being related to Harriet Tubman). Umar just being trifling... Now, let's fast forward to April 25, 2016 , in which you, as Umar Ifatunde (how many 'names' do you have, Dude?), in a Facebook post, say that you NEVER claimed to be a direct descendant of

According to Umar Johnson, he charges $50.00 for a 1/2 hour session/consultation for your child. Then, he will develop a direct action plan to get your child back on track (From:   http://www.drumarjohnson.com/#!consultations ). I wonder if he does the following? Take a medical history of your child. Have a parent/guardian sign a Notice of Privacy Rights under HIPAA . Have a patient (or parent/guardian) fill out the appropriate forms for insurance billing Provide a list of CPT codes so that the parent/guardian insurance can be billed appropriately. All of that takes more than 1/2 hour.  So what is Umar really doing? Why does Umar want people to pay through Paypal?   In my view, Umar is using Paypal (and not accepting insurance payments) because HE WANTS YOUR MONEY .  That's it and that's all. Why won't Umar take insurance payments? Well, I have a theory.  In order for a therapist to get paid through a client/patient's insurance company or even thr

It's me, your girl, TrueBlackAnonymous.  I'm here again with some... BREAKING NEWS!! I have been given the authority to speak on behalf of the Ross-Tubman families on this blog.  Of course, you may know this family as the family who produced our great Queen Warrior, Our Queen Mother, Araminta Ross, known to most of us as Harriet Tubman. Groundbreaking at the Tubman UGRR Mrs. Patricia Ross Hawkins, a great-great-great grandniece of Queen Warrior Harriet Tubman, recently saw a video of Umar Johnson at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Center. She and the Ross-Tubman family want the readers of this blog to know the following: Umar Johnson doesn't know what he is talking about. The facility is in Church Creek, Maryland and not in Bucktown, Maryland. Umar Johnson doesn't seem to realize that the Ross family from Dorchester County, Maryland, spent many, many years lobbying state and federal officials to get the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroa
