At This Point, It's Not Umar...
Well, here we are.
Umar Johnson is on a YouTuber's channel called It's Up There Podcast. I'm not even going to link it because I'm mad. I'm not even mad at Umar Johnson anymore. We know what he is. We know he's a liar, a grifter, and a scammer who has continually demonstrated low character.
WE KNOW.
I don't want to be bothered about linking this podcast channel. If you want to find it, go to YouTube and type in the name of the channel. You'll find it.
Why am I taking this attitude?
I have several reasons.
- Isn't this a "YouTube struggle streamer" according to Umar Johnson himself? Or, is this a "YouTube struggle streamer" if the interviewer dare challenge or question Umar Johnson?
- I believe, like we know Umar Johnson is a liar, a grifter, and a scammer, who has continually demonstrated low character, It's Up There Podcast.knows as well. They simply don't care. It appears that views, clicks, and likes are worth it to someone like It's Up There Podcast to platform Umar Johnson and expose their audiences to him so he can continue to scam.
- Speaking of which, I'm sick and tired of interviewers who don't question or challenge Umar Johnson on his nonsense.
- We know that banks don't care who you are or your political views and will not close someone's account based on these things alone.
- We know that it doesn't take people simply calling his bank to persuade the bank to close an account. It doesn't work that way. I, for one, don't know what bank Umar Johnson uses and I don't care.
- Don't even get me started on Umar's continuing to lie about being related to Frederick Douglass despite the known DNA evidence to the contrary. It's pathetic.
- I wonder if clicks, views, and likes are worth allowing a cancer in our communities to continue, for years, to run roughshod through our communities and cause untold amounts of damage to our people.
Shame on you, It's Up There Podcast.
Now I'm about to cuss, not curse. You see, cursing has an element of politeness, even while using course language. I don't feel like being polite because politeness isn't going to get the job done.
- If we, as Black people, had our shit together, the Umar Johnsons of the world couldn't find a place to thrive among us.
- What the fuck is wrong with us that we have allowed this malignant cancer called Umar Johnson to go unchecked?
- Where are the people, the men specifically, who will let Umar Johnson know he can't continue to lie to us, use us, run through women, make babies, make promises he has no intention of keeping, and take no responsibility for any of it.
- Now, I don't generally advocate violence, if there is anyone who deserves a whole ass-whipping in public, it's Umar Johnson.
And I wonder if the so-called "YouTube struggle streamers" who platform this lying, grifting, malignant, cancerous, living tumor who calls hinself Umar Johnson, don't deserve the same fate.
Because, you see, at his point, it's not Umar Johnson. It's us.
If Umar Johnson's mouth is moving and sound is coming out, Umar Johnson is lying.

Well said!! I agree that at some point we, as Black people, have to be thoughtful about who is allowed to speak for us as a collective. No single individual represents the full range of our experiences, perspectives, or aspirations.
ReplyDeleteToo often, certain voices build their platform by presenting the most limited or stereotypical view of our community and then treating that view as if it reflects everyone. It does not. Black people are not a monolith, and our thinking, priorities, and approaches are far more diverse than that narrative suggests.
In my view, leadership and influence should come with responsibility, integrity, and character. When those qualities are absent, it becomes even more important for the community to broaden the conversation and elevate voices that reflect a fuller and more constructive vision of who we are and where we are going.
I appreciate the work that continues to challenge these conversations and encourage deeper thinking. It was a strong piece, and I've always respected your work. I hope to explore this topic further in the future on my own YouTube channel as part of a broader discussion about representation, accountability, and the diversity of thought within our community.
