Can't Be "Most Requested" When You Invite Yourself...

Image
Sisters and Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen, we now have definitive proof that Umar Johnson's " Most Requested Scholar " claim is a bunch of, and pardon my words here, but I think they fit, so I'm going to say it. BULLSHIT Flag on the play, Umar Johnon, if that's even your real name. Umar Johnson is to speak at Johnson C. Smith University in North Carolina on December 28, 2017.  And for all the bragging and carrying on Umar Johnson has done about being "most requested" and "number one,"  According to Fox 46 News in Charlotte, North Carolina , Johnson C. Smith University says that Dr. Umar Johnson's organization is renting a facility . The emphasis is my own. So nodamnedbody at Johnson C. Smith University "requested" Umar Johnson.  If someone at Johnson C. Smith University requested him to come and speak, Umar Johnson would not be renting a facility.  A facility would have been provided for him, in addition to other

Location, Location, Location...

It's all about location, location, location, Folks!  So, let's look at a specific location in Philadelphia, PA, at 350 Willow Grove Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19118, which was the supposed to have been the location of the 'office' of the Frederick Douglass and Marcus Garvey RBG International Academy, Inc. Someone in our network actually took a few minutes to find out where, exactly, this location is. Please see below. This appears to be an apartment building, specifically, the Chestnut Hill Apartments. Hmmm.... Chestnut Hill Apartments, Philadelphia, PA I have to wonder something.  Is this the office that Umar Johnson claims he did his therapeutic work?  If so, that would be against the law, since it has been said that any psychologist/counselor/therapist who has a home office would have to have his or her office separate and apart from what is called "ordinary living spaces". What does that mean? I suppose it means that if a psychologist/

Here's a truth about me.  I actually personally know a couple of people in the field of psychology who deliver therapy and other mental health services to groups as well as individuals.  Out of the people I know who are practicing mental health professionals, many of them DO NOT have social media accounts.  One does, but she uses a different name for social media than the name she uses professionally. Why?  Because they don't want their clients or potential clients to find them on social media and thereby creating the potential mixing of the professional client/therapist relationship with a personal relationship, or a perception of a personal relationship.  I believe that is called engaging in dual relationships, which is considered unethical in doctor/patient and client/therapist relationships. Now, I don't spend a lot of time trolling websites of psychologists, therapists, or clinical psychologists.  But I'm ready to make an exception for the purposes of this po

A Plea to Our African Sisters and Brothers in Paris, France...

Image
This writing serves as a plea to our African sisters and brothers in Paris France. I understand that someone in the city of Paris, France, is having an event which is featuring Umar Johnson. Bless the soul(s) of the person or persons who wants to put this event on. I would warn our good sisters and brothers in France not to allow Umar Johnson to collect donation money for his fictitious Frederick Douglass and Marcus Garvey International RBG Academy, also referred to as FDMG. Why? For one, Umar Johnson has never provided any financial framework for the running of his pretend school. Secondly, Umar has given public respect to a convicted child molester .  Do you really want that type of man running a school for anyone's children? Thirdly, Umar Johnson is about one year behind on his child support payments.  Think really hard on that one, please. And, Umar Johnson has had the not-for-profit status revoked by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) because he did not file t

Enough is Enough!!!!

Image
Finally! Word on the street, and on video , is that at least one of our dedicated and respected elders, the good Dr. Phil Valentine, has had enough of Umar Johnson (and others), and his foolery.  Let's face it, some of the things that Umar says and does are downright distasteful. And I, for one, shout Hallelujah! For one thing, Umar calling himself the Prince of Pan-Africanism  is completely absurd.  Who gave him that title?  And if someone did give Umar such a name, on what basis was the name given to him?  Or is that a title he gave himself because he thought it sounded good? Don't even get me started on King Kong Konsciousness.  Ridiculousness... To quote our elder, Dr. Phil Valentine : "Based on the ridiculous, downright blasphemous behavior I've been seeing exhibited by those who claim to be forwarding their (the elders) great works, those entrusted with their legacy, the utter disrespect to the memory of those who brought value and substance to the

F-R-A-U-D! What Does It Spell?

Image
F R A U D What does it spell?  FRAUD! How do I know?  Well, let's look at Umar Johnson's GoFraudMe...oops, I mean GoFundMe account. When did Umar start this GoFundMe account?  Well, since the account says that there is $388,358 donated by 9,909 people in 31 months. Okay...so if I count back 31 months, so if my math is correct, this account was opened in about February, 2015 . Put a pin on that date. This doesn't include the money he's collected through the PayPal account, which subsequently got frozen , and this doesn't include money that people have mailed to his post office box. Please recall that Umar Johnson registered FDMG as a non-profit organization around June, 2014. And please recall that Umar did not file the appropriate documents with the IRS for three years and got his 501(c)(4) revoked in May, 2017. So, what was going on between February, 2015 and May, 2017? Umar was going all over the world , giving his

Did Umar Johnson Lie to Get Booked?

Image
From:  http://www.trinitycathedralnj.org/ Umar Johnson has advertised his lecture at Trinity Cathedral in Trenton, NJ.  If one goes onto the website for Trinity Cathedral, in Trenton, NJ, the first thing you notice is the mixed race, multicultural membership. Remember, Umar is not a fan of multiculturalism . The second thing you might notice about Trinity Cathedral, in Trenton, NJ is that is also affiliated with a school.  Yes, a school for children called Trinity Cathedral Academy . Now, how is it that Umar thought it was good judgment to use the following as an advertisement for a speaking engagement at a CHURCH which also contains a school for children? Now, take the picture in.  REALLY take it in.  Does this advertisement seem appropriate for an event at a church, in your opinion? Doesn't this advertisement look like an advertisement for a movie called " The Devil Wears Prada "? Hmm.....copyright laws, anyone?  But anyway... Do you think that Um

Umar Johnson is NOT a Therapist...He's a Verbal Abuser

Image
Oh my goodness! What kind of counseling does Umar Johnson offer to our people? During a Facebook live session, in which Umar encouraged young people to call in to listen to him, it took him less than five minutes to drop this gem. "Some of the rest of you, you're parents did not do a good job teaching you discipline.  You're lazy, you're spoiled, you're shiftless, you get the whole world handed to you." Wow. At about the 11 minute and 20 second mark, Umar discusses what he believes is a billion dollars of unused financial aid and/or scholarship money every year.  Is it a surprise that Umar doesn't cite a source of this information? Now, guess why Umar believes all that available money goes unused and most will pay for their college education with loans? Yes, ...it is because, and this is a quote: "You're too LAZY, you're too LAZY, you're too LAZY (yes, he said it three times), and you're parents, in some cases, are

ROLL CALL!

Just out of curiosity, how many of you are willing to state on this blog if you have been blocked on Twitter or Facebook by Umar Johnson? I'll start! I was blocked because I made a comment about the school he claims he wanted to start and the donation money. I'm honored to be blocked by Umar Johnson. Anyone else care to share?  If so, please post in the comment section.  Thank you in advance! Trueblackanonymous You Tube Channel @BLKAnonymous

The Lengths He Will Go...

Image
My mind just boggles at the lengths that Umar Johnson will go to in order to puff himself up and make himself look important.  Why do I think this? Well... Please consider the picture to the left. The first think I notice about this is that Umar Johnson has posted this so-called communication, allegedly from a parent or guardian, asking Umar Johnson for advice, supposedly via a social media platform like Facebook. Hmmm.... The second thing I notice is that he posted this so-called solicitation above a picture of our beloved Baba Dick Gregory with information about his home-going ceremony, presumably from the family website. Why would posting the information about Baba Dick Gregory have even been necessary?  What does Baba Dick Gregory have to do with this supposedly solicitation for Umar Johnson's advise? Or was Umar invoking Dick Gregory in order to give himself credibility, just like he invokes Frederick Douglass , Alexander Wayman , and, as he attempted to

It Just Doesn't Stop...

Christmas wreaths in August? You know, the things that one can learn by being on the Internet is astounding.  Just astounding. So I went back to the video posted on the Black Rulership  You Tube channel, dated August 27, 2017 and looked more carefully. My goodness!  How on earth did I miss these things? Remember, this video, dated August 26, 2017 show a school property in Baltimore, MD, that Umar Johnson behaved as if it was for sale.  And of course, he was soliciting donations. I notice a few things: There was not a for sale sign featured in this video, which led me to question if the property was really available for purchase There are Christmas wreaths, or ribbons on the doors...allegedly in August The property appears to be well-kept, like someone is maintaining it.  Could this be the case because it IS actually being maintained by the current owner(s) / occupant(s)?   At about the 4 minute and 17 second mark, Umar tells Jacksonville, FL, that he's "got

How Low Can He Go?

Image
Now, it has been well-established that Umar Johnson is a liar.  But, this is a new low, even for him. What do I mean? Umar Johnson claims he had to cancel his lecture , scheduled for Sunday, September 17, 2017, at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) due to having to attend the memorial service of our dearly departed elder, Dick Gregory. Notice that Umar says canceled , not postponed or not being re-scheduled. Rest well, good brother...rest well He further claims that his National Independent Black Parent Association Conference, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 15 and 16, 2017, is cancelled, for the same reason. Please, mentally put a pin on the dates above. Now, please check out the family website for information regarding memorial services and tributes to our Baba Dick Gregory. Notice that it says that the funeral for Baba Gregory is on Saturday, September 16, 2017 . So why would Umar cancel his lecture and conference?  Why not say that it was p

He's Not Worth It...

"Jack would laugh if he knew, but she's been in the system long enough to understand that it all comes down to documentation..If you're disorganized, you risk losing everything." Christina Baker Kline Orphan Train This quote definitely applies to the phenomenon we know as Umar Johnson. It's clear that Umar Johnson doesn't intend to build a school and probably never did.  It's clear that the money collected for a school is Umar Johnson's slush fund.  This is why can brag about paying his own way to travel to Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and Africa.  He's doing it with your donation money. This is why he didn't and couldn't file a Form 990 along with a 501(c)(4) , which would require him to detail HOW the money was used.  He didn't want you to know how the money was used. Further, the school he was talking about was never viable.  Umar never explained and showed documentation on how he was going to pay the bills.  He never sa

Umar Just Pulling It from His A$$

Image
Umar, Umar, Umar, for all of your bloviating about being a scholar, you sure do seem to pull a lot of S ugar, H oney, I ced T ea from you a$$. There are so many examples, but I will focus on one for now. In an interview Umar did with Arthur Robinson, Jr., posted on June 20, 2017 , Umar said that there is nothing stopping a person of the African diaspora from visiting or re-locating to Africa. That sounds reasonable, so far.  No problem there. But where Umar goes left is at about the 24 minute and 24 second mark, in which he says the following: "Now I would say that one of the things that the African Union needs to improve upon at present there is no regulation(?) or application that allows Africans from the diaspora to apply for dual citizenship in Africa." Umar goes on to say that: "African-Americans are the only population in the world who are not allowed to have dual citizenship." Okay.  Let that simmer for a moment.  Now consider the following.

Does Umar Respect and Uphold the Black Woman?

Image
One of the items that struck me during the latest Umar debacle involving Roland Martin is that Umar claimed that Black men must marry, respect, and uphold Black women--which is a great idea. But, does Umar? Exhibit One Umar asked a radio host to hang up on a woman who respectfully asked him to explain a system of accountability for the donation money he'd collected up until that point. Exhibit Two Umar found himself in a so-called scandal involving the "Conscious Stripper."  He subsequently memed her and tried to assert that she was a prostitute who sold her body.  Hmm....so if that was the case, was he the trick (and where did he get the money to pay for her, ahem, services)? Exhibit Three Umar memed Chantall Beaty after she offered to help him develop the school that he claimed he wanted to start and then used the meme, which compared her to Miss Piggy,  to advertise a speaking engagement at a church . Exhibit Four Umar "invented" a '

Who Knew?

Image
Well, now that I have had a moment to think about it, I can see the sinister and deceptive behavior of Umar Johnson even more clearly than I have up until this point. Once I learned that Umar Johnson had a 501(c)(4), I wondered immediately why he didn't announce it.   Now I know . Umar knows that there a lot of smart people out there, who will ask questions if he announced that he had a 501(c)(4). But what exactly is a 501(c)(4) and why is it different from a 501(c)(3)? A 501(c)(4) organization is "tax-exempt as a social welfare organization described in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 501(c)(4), an organization must not be organized for profit and must be operated exclusively to promote social welfare." Umar filed this status with the state of Pennsylvania on June, 9, 2014. I don't know what 'social welfare' cause that Umar and his organization he was claiming to promote that has to do with civic betterment or social improvement(s), such as a

But he wants to teach YOUR children?

Image
Once again, our good sister, Anti Afro Svengalis, is reading my mind.  Not only has Umar not paid taxes, had a 501(c)(4) revoked, but NOW we have learned that Umar has issues with child support. Think about this.  A man who tells people that they are: "Trifling Negroes" and no good so they need to turn their children over to him Tells people that they are turning their children into "Negros" Threatens to hang up on people who ask for help unless they give him money Tells them that they shouldn't spend money on Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, weaves, perms, cars and Air Jordans (coincidentally while he's wearing Air Jordans) Disrespects, lies to, and name-calls the very people who are giving him money Clearly is using the GoFundMe money that he told people he was building/creating a school as his own personal slush fund This man who brags about paying his own way to Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe has issues with child support.  It def
