Umar Just Pulling It from His A$$
Umar, Umar, Umar, for all of your bloviating about being a scholar, you sure do seem to pull a lot of Sugar, Honey, Iced Tea from you a$$.
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:
Does anyone know or have heard of an actor named Isaiah Washington? He starred in quite a few movies and television shows playing a myriad of characters. He also happens to be African-American, born in Houston, TX. Mr. Washington did ancestral DNA testing and learned that, based on the results of the DNA test, he is a descendant of the Mende people who primarily reside in Sierra Leone.
Part of his journey to learn about himself and the Mende people was one of a handful of trips to Sierra Leone. One of those trips was the subject of a documentary, called "Isaiah Washington's Passport to Sierra Leone." In this documentary, Mr. Washington receives Sierra Leone citizenship along with a Sierra Leone passport.
Mr. Isaiah Washington is the first African-American to receive dual citizenship with the United States by virtue of birth and with Sierra Leone based on ancestral DNA testing.
Umar then talks about how athletes, even if they are professional athletes in the United States, they can, during the Olympics, participate as an athlete for the country of their birth. For example, Manu Ginóbili, an Argentine basketball player who plays for San Antonio Spurs, has played for the Argentine team in the Olympics and other international basketball competitions.
Now let's consider the case of one Mr. Kyrie Irving. Mr. Irving is a professional basketball player who played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and now plays for the Boston Celtics. He is a Black man, clearly.
Mr. Irving was born in Melbourne, Australia to American parents. By virtue of being born in Australia, Mr. Irving is a citizen of that country. He has dual citizenship in the United States and in Australia. It has been widely documented that Kyrie Irving was eligible to play for the Australian Olympic basketball team. He chose to play for the US basketball team.
All I can say is that wading through Umar's mess is pretty exhausting.

Umar goes on to say that:
"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."
"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.

So what in the blue blazes is Umar Johnson even saying?
