A Hard Head Makes A Soft Behind...

Image
My grandmother, God rest her soul, used to say, "a hard head makes a soft behind." In other words, if you continue to be stubborn, if you are going to continue to be ornery, if you are going to continue to do the very things that get you in trouble, if you won't listen to anyone, if you refuse to learn your lesson, then don't be surprised when it all comes back to bite you. It seems as if Umar Johnson has not learned that. How can I tell? Well, listen to the video below. In this video, he asks for prayers because it seems that Umar Johnson has gotten himself into a fix with the State Board of Psychology of Pennsylvania "because of the constant complaints from jealous Africans." I really wish Umar Johnson would stop claiming that people are jealous of him.  It's gotten really, really old, and it shows that he isn't willing or able to take responsibility  for his actions, words or behaviors. Well, a hard head makes a soft behind. A...

Does Umar Admit It?

Image
Okay, I thought I could take a break from this Umar Johnson thing.  I really thought I could.  After all, I'm getting sick and tired of him and his foolery. Aren't you all? But anyway... If you pay attention to the video above, starting at about the 18 minute and 30 second mark and play it through the 20 minute and 40 second mark, approximately, you will hear Umar say the, regarding the temporary shut-down of Umar's GoFundMe account, the following: Umar claims to have shown incorporation papers to GoFundMe.  As a side note, I find it interesting that he didn't post these incorporation papers on either one of his websites for his donors and potential donors to see, or inform his donors, even though this information is public.  Because, after all, it would have answered some of the donors/potential donors questions and taken some of the pressure of those questions from Umar Johnson. It's called transparency. Let's go on... Umar claims he sh...

Grounds for Dismissal?

Image
Now, here's an interesting fact.  GoFundMe does not want its services used in the promotion of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, terrorism or intolerance of any kind related to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender or gender identity, or serious disabilities or diseases From:  www.gofundme.com Okay, let's look at this one by one. Let's think about how many times Umar has threatened to "smack the shit" out of someone. Let's look at if Umar Johnson has harassed someone. Further evidence... Now, I wonder if Umar promoted intolerance as related to religious affiliation? Now, I wonder if Umar promoted intolerance as related to race or national origin?  Perhaps we should ask Umar's alleged cousin, Kenneth B. Morris, who supposedly looks like " a damned Mexican ." Let's see what Umar has to say about individuals and his/her sexual orientation. ...

Umar Leaped from Eventbrite to Ticket Leap to Eventbee?

Image
We'd like to take a moment to thank one of the faithful readers of TrueBlackAnonymous. This very aware person thought enough of TrueBlackAnonymous to alert us to the amazing goings-on with Umar Johnson.  Please see the picture below from Umar Johnson's Twitter account. Now, the picture comes from Eventbrite.  It shows a picture of an event in Nashville, TN, given by the Prince of Pan Africanism.  Notice that the tickets are non-refundable .  Also, notice that the event has been postponed. Does this seem familiar ? Let's take a moment to do some speculation.  Between the cancellation of the event in Hamden, CT (with non-refundable tickets) and the cancellation of the event in Nashville, TN (also with non-refundable tickets) could it be possible, that Eventbrite got enough complaints that they kicked Umar Johnson to the curb, thereby making Umar have to make the leap to Ticketleap ? On another note, notice that Umar, was scheduled to be at Jo...

Copyright Law...

Image
Have any of you ever met or dealt with people whose very nature is fraudulent?  It is as if they cannot help it, as though they are hardwired to be fraudulent.  They lie, they act out, they steal and they do all manners of shadiness as a matter of course, almost like most of us blink and breathe. Umar Johnson, as far as we're concerned, is one of those people. I say this because he thinks nothing of stealing, even from one of our most well-known and well-liked artists, Ms. Erykah Badu. Has anyone seen this T-shirt that Umar Johnson is or was selling ? As I understand it, this design was created by an artist called Emek Golan .  Check out his website.  If you go to his website and peruse, you will find the design below, which was created in 2005 as a tour poster for Erykah Badu. https://emek.net/rock/b/badu_fist_wood.html Look familiar? So what does copyright law have to do with this?  Well, unless Umar Johnson got written permission of t...

Umar has no damned business calling anyone out--Part Duh!

Image
Umar, you damned idiot. You KNOW you have no damned business calling anyone out for anything. You KNOW you have no damned business trying to tell anyone how to raise their children. You KNOW you have no damned business offering yourself as a mentor to anyone's son You KNOW you have no damned business advising anyone on relationships. Why? Because you're a damned idiot. How old are you? In all of those six degrees, did you take a biology class?  Don't you know how people get here? Take a wild guess. Yes, unprotected sex. When you go up in a woman all raw dog, there is a good chance that a child will be produced. As a 40-something year old man, one would think you'd have figured this out by now--especially when you already had 2 children by two different women. Now a third babymamma is looking to you for child support? Amazing... Like I said... You KNOW you have no damned business calling anyone out for anything. You KNOW you have no damn...

Who is Shoemake?

Umar Johnson said on one of his Facebook Live videos, as he was railing against his OWN FATHER , that he was born Jermaine Shoemake, and that he was going to change his name BACK to Jermaine Shoemake as retaliation against his father. Okay. Since Umar said himself that his original last name is Shoemake, it surely opens the door to investigate the Bailey and Wayman family trees, both to which Umar claims a relationship. So, let's do so. According to a source in the Bailey family, there isn't anyone named Shoemake on the Bailey family tree.  In addition, my source informed me that there is no one named Shoemake on the Wayman family tree. Another point is that there is no one in the Bailey or Wayman family tree who has converted to Islam and changed his or her name.  Also, there are no Cuban immigrants on the Bailey or Wayman family trees. And since Umar claims relationships to the Baileys and the Waymans through his father, wouldn't repudiating his father als...

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...

Umar's Goonie-Goons in Chicago?

Umar Johnson ought to be ashamed of himself.  I'm not kidding, playing, or being facetious.  He really ought to be ashamed of himself. How dare Umar, in Chicago , of all places , talk about how hard his " goons " will "ride for him." In Chicago, where the high murder rate among Black men is the most discussed topic, Umar, in another state of his over-inflated ego and public self-masturbation, talked about, ON VIDEO , how Black men are willing to do time , i.e. go to prison, for him ? Think about this. This man, Umar Johnson, a Black man, who claims to be a therapist, a psychologist, a school psychologist, a clinical psychologist and the so-called Prince of Pan-Africanism, is touting the idea that his "goons," who are likely Black men, are willing to commit crimes, and hence, " do time ,"  and "die," for him -- in Chicago, where the murder rate is so high that the powers that be are considering bringing in federal troops. ...

A Sho Nuff Fool

Image
Has Umar lost his total, complete and absolute mind? Umar seems to think that Frederick Douglass has chosen Umar Johnson, who is supposedly Frederick Douglass's 'cousin' to succeed him, just like Moses chose his 'cousin' Aaron to succeed him.  Because, 'you dusty hotepers', as he is calling someone at about 5 minutes into this hamtrocity, it is still a bloodline connection. Hmmm.... From the New International Version of the Bible , Exodus, 4th chapter and 14th verse: Then the Lord's anger burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother , Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you. Well, Umar doesn't seem to be a Biblical scholar, so let's carry on. Umar then, again, discusses his 'cousins' Tarence Bailey and Kenneth B. Morris , and a letter or letters, that they put out on behalf of their family, because once again, he claims, as he calls them im...

School Opening August, 2017?

Image
Umar Johnson has been promising that he is going to open the school August 21, 2017. When will the lying stop? Oh? How can that be?  I'm not sure, since I haven't seen or read anywhere that Umar has announced the following: Governing board Projection of potential students Location Business/financial plan Budget Curriculum outline Student handbook Employee handbook Liability insurance Workplace compensation insurance Application for accreditation Have you heard or read anything about any governing board or solidified location for FDMG? By the way, how would Umar Johnson finance a school with tax liens and back child support, especially with no business/financial plan or team? Sadly, even respected publications such as Black Enterprise , fell for Umar Johnson and the ol' okedoke.  Note that the article is dated June 14, 2014 and we are approaching 2018.  To date, there is no concrete sign of FDMG ever coming into fruition. There are times ...

Why Black platforms must stop uplifting Umar Johnson

Image
July 13, 2017 at 7:51 PM | by George M. Johnson From:   http://thegrio.com/2017/07/13/stop-uplifting-umar-johnson/ Over the past week,  News One Now with Roland Martin and The Breakfast Club invited lead hotep, Dr. Umar Johnson , as a guest to discuss his Pan-African views on the Black community. Per usual, his views dive from somewhat logical, to illogical, to outright hysterical, with several misstatements, disparaging remarks about certain segments of the Black community, and avoidance of questions around his actual credentialing. Although Umar brings great ratings because of his adversarial tone and rhetoric, it leaves many of us in the community to question why we give such Black leaders (who are ironically at times anti-Black) platforms when they are in fact the ones who are destroying our communities. “Dr.” Umar Johnson has built a platform as a leader in the Black community, with views based in patriarchy, hyper-masculinity, and a pseudo-intellectual ...

Refund?

Image
Well now, it seems as though Umar Johnson has found a new way to take advantage of our people.  Using EventBrite, Umar Johnson advertised an event in Hamden, CT. Someone that we trust let us know that Umar Johnson cancelled the booking of the facility a week before the event.  Yet, Umar went onto CitizensTV , in Hamden, CT and advertised his speaking engagement. If you have Facebook, click the link above and start at about 9 minutes and 45 seconds. Please note in the picture to the left that, according to EventBrite, this event has tickets for $20 with NO REFUNDS . Interesting. Now, if it is true that Umar Johnson cancelled the facility one week before the event, citing security issues, surely he made arrangements to refund the money to ticket holders, if the ticket holders choose to do so. Right? Well...it seems that the jury is still out on that. But, if I had it to guess, I would think that the Balcony Banquet Facility doesn't like the implication that...

STILL Not "Most Requested" When You Request Yourself

Image
Well, well, well, it seems that Umar's gig in Hamden, CT has been postponed. Gee whiz, I wonder why...Hmmm..... Could it be that he wasn't  requested?  How can this be?  He's touts himself as the "Most Requested" scholar, or the most requested Black scholar. So why would his event be postponed? Word on the street is that Umar couldn't come up with the rent money in order to use the Balcony Banquet Facility in Hamden, CT.  However, that has not yet been verified.  But who knows?  Umar lies so much.  Who can keep up? BUT... If this is true, one wonders what happened to " most requested "?  You see, good people, if Umar was actually "requested," he wouldn't have to pay to rent a hall.  Arrangements would have been made for him, including the provision of a facility, and security, if necessary. OR... Perhaps it was Umar's atrocious interview with CitizensTV , in which he basically, and please excuse my language, shits o...

Is Umar an Agent Provocateur?

Image
Well, it just struck me as quite interesting that Umar Johnson, who I understand is being investigated for telling people to shoot police, could well be an agent provocateur. But, what is an agent provocateur? An agent provocateur is a person who acts to incite others into committing an illegal act, thereby making them liable to punishment. I wonder if Umar Johnson would be considered an agent provocateur. Why? Because Umar Johnson has been recorded calling for people to kill police officers. Go to about 56 minutes.  There is NO audio technology manipulation. Now, think about it.  Umar isn't going to shoot at police.  Let's face it.  He's too, pardon my language, chickenshit to do it himself.  So he wants to incite someone else to do it.  Think about this.  Why would he tell someone else to do it?  Is this what a real school psychologist, clinical psychologist or therapist would do? Now, I understand that Umar is under invest...

Umar Trying Again at a Church...

Image
Umar Johnson has, once again, gotten booked at a church, this time at First AME Zion Church, in Columbus, OH.  Remember, these are the same churches that he criticized for giving their "Jesus money" to white banks, because every black church banks at white banks . I wonder how Umar knows this? But, anyway....  These same white banks, according to Umar, loan the "Jesus money" that folks gave at church to white land developers, who subsequently kick your poor, retired grandma, who is on a fixed income, out of the house she worked so hard to buy. Now, Umar wants to speak at churches?  The same churches who he says are complicit in putting Grandma out of her home? Really? What happened to having  respect for houses of worship , even if a particular house of worship isn't of the faith you were raised in or believe? Does Umar have respect for houses of worship? Inquiring minds would LOVE to know... Please, good people with good sense, contact Fir...

Cult of Personality

Image
At the risk of sounding too academic, I'm going to quote from the 2001 edition of the World of Sociology: Cult of personality refers to a social or political phenomenon in which individuals have great power over others, based solely on personality. Those who lead by a cult of personality usually do not have any legal, political or intellectual authority in the beginning of their leadership. They rely on charisma, gaining their power through personal characteristics that appeal to people who follow them. And sadly, the people who are continuing to follow, believe, and support Umar Johnson have fallen victim to the Cult of Personality.  They have fallen under the spell of charismatic leadership, even in the face of facts that cannot be disputed, including: Umar TOLD us (with his behavior) that he doesn't believe he has to be accountable for the money Black folks gave him. Umar TOLD us (with his behavior) that he believes he should not be questioned and cannot tolerate...

He's Lying, Y'all...

Image
Twitter post on October 4, 2017 Or, he's not telling the complete truth...which is actually the same thing as lying. Did any of you all go to Sunday School when you were kids?  I did. I still remember one of my Sunday school lessons to this very day and I'm *blank* years old. The lesson?  There are two kinds of lying.  Lying by commission is letting a lie, something you know is a lie, come out of your mouth.  Then there is lying by omission which not saying anything or leaving out key information with the intent of misleading. Umar is guilty of both types of lying.  However, I'm going to focus on lying by omission.  Please look at the picture below: There is a lot of omitted information that seemingly can't be found. Based on a conversation I had with a very knowledgeable person in the matters of real estate, I know that merely submitting a bid does not guarantee that one has acquired the property.  Additionally, submitting a ...
