Stop Trying to Police Black Women

Image
The unmitigated gall of this troglodyte , who calls himself "Doctor" Umar Johnson, to claim that he is so great, so mighty, so wonderful that he has to: Ask a woman to submit a "wifey resume" for the mere "opportunity" to "date" him and possibly marry him. Think that he has the right to dictate to women how to wear their hair. Look at Umar Johnson.  Just look at him.  He's had over $1 million dollars of "donations" for a school, for which he has never given an account.  Yet, he has no home, no office, no car.  He can't even keep an apartment.  And when he had an apartment, he couldn't keep it clean.  All he has is a couple of abandoned, hazmat, traphouse buildings, with no electricity and a building that has a hole in the roof which is in danger of being demolished. He isn't even a nice person, based on the behaviors many have documented.  He's a liar , a user, a hypocrite  (notice in the video, Umar Johnson...

Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures

Umar is really desperate.  I can tell.  When he starts pulling out those old tropes about light-skinned folks and bi-racial folks being agents, you know that he's grasping at straws. Well, thanks to a picture of Drake in blackface, Umar can now pull out that old trope again. Let me preface this post by saying this.  I don't follow Drake.  I don't give a damn about Drake.  I don't know why he was in blackface.   However, Drake attempted to explain why he was in blackface here . Okay. Umar Johnson, however, didn't find out the context of the picture.  He didn't even attempt to get any context of the picture.  He just made a 45-minute video of which the long and short of it is to claim that light-skinned and biracial folks as agents. Wow. So, if being light-skinned qualifies you as an agent, then guess who would be agents. Agent? Agent? Agent? Agent? Of course, it's ridiculous...just utterly ridiculous! Um...

Grounds for Dismissal?

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. ...

Please, Don't Do It!

Hello, Reverend Cary Beckwith , good people of St. Luke AME Zion Church in Buffalo, New York , and the good, decent people of Buffalo, NY. I am coming to you, and encouraging others to come to you, in the name of love for our people, and in the name of all reasonable people, to encourage you to not have Umar Johnson speak at your church, as scheduled on September 9, 2017. Why am I asking this? Umar Johnson is very dangerous because he has: Failed to prove the credentials that would qualify him to speak on the subject matter. Disrespected Black women routinely who ask him questions he doesn't like or who have disagreements with him. Gave a so-called 'diagnosis' of ' THOT-ish personality disorder ' to victims of sexual assault/sexual molestation. Gave a 'shout-out' to a convicted child molester . Fails routinely to speak appropriately and speaks outside of the scope of his so-called expertise. Failed to account for the money he's collec...

REALLY?

Image
Of course , Umar Johnson had to speak about the so-called ambush of TVOne, courtesy of Roland Martin and friends.  Umar's theory is the following: "TVOne wanted the ratings...." Then Umar goes on to say that Roland Martin has a personal issue with him and wanted to humiliate him on national television. "Roland is boule ," Umar says. Someone in the audience asked Umar about the open letter that Tarence Bailey wrote to Roland Martin, Charlemagne the God, and other brothers and sisters in the media.  Umar took the opportunity to disparage his so-called family members. "One of Frederick's grandchildren married one of Booker T's (Booker T. Washington), so there's a Frederick-Booker connect.   This Negro claims to be from that but he looks like he's a damned Mexican.  He doesn't even look Black." I'm going to assume that "this Negro" is Kenneth B. Morris.  Further, there is so much that is wrong with that quote!...

Dis Tew Much

Once again, we have Umar Johnson, crying the blues about how unfairly he's being treated by ' Negroes .'  I suppose now, even Roland Martin can be counted in the either the dusty Negroes or he can be counted in the number of bourgeoisie cultural nationalists  like Dr. Leonard Jeffries or Dr. Anthony Browder. Or maybe, he can counted among the people who dare to question Umar Johnson about who he is, what he says, and what he's done with the donation money. Umar claims to have six degrees , yet has produced no proof nor has he posted his resume or CV on his websites.  There have been people who have called the various schools he's named in order to find out if he has earned the degrees he says he's earned, and have gotten mixed results. And also keep this in mind.  There very well could be a person by the name of Umar Johnson, or Umar Abdullah-Johnson, or Umar Rashad Abdullah-Johnson.  So isn't it even a possibility that when one calls these schools, the...

Why Does Umar Harass Dead People?

Image
Okay, you guys, please just bear with me for a few minutes.  Please? Thank you for your kind indulgence. I have a question.  Why does Umar insist on harassing dead folk? I don't know of anyone, other than Umar Johnson, who records himself visiting the graves of dead people to commentate on their lives, which I don't necessarily have an issue with... but then he advertises his activities and speaking engagements . WTF? This time, the unfortunate victims were Robert Purvis , and his wife Harriet Forten Purvis . By the way, Mr. Purvis was three-quarters European, and inherited his wealth from his English father who was common law married to Mr. Purvis's mother, a free woman of color.  His wife was also a mixed race person. When his wife died, Mr. Purvis married a European woman, similarly to Umar's supposed relative, Frederick Douglass. Also, like Umar's supposed relative, Robert Purvis was a feminist.  I don't believe that Umar espouses feminism.  Umar ...

From:   http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Holding-People-Accountable.html?soid=1104247795966&aid=38V3dqWA9b0 Did Umar Johnson Commit "Professional Suicide" Or Did He Trick All of Us to Gain Even More Funds Responses from Light-Skinned Women and the Conscious Community by Syndicated Columnist Cathy Harris, DearCathy.com Jan. 14, 2017 You guessed it I am one of the "light-skinned" women responding in this e-newsletter to Umar Johnson's rant.  Other responses follows this article. Like always in my articles and my books at AngelsPress.com , I conduct extensive research on relevant and timely topics so all of you have to do is read them, because I have already conducted the research for you. I feel shameful to have to write this article a few days before we celebrate the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr . but when issues affects the black community, these issues affects all of us.  (I am) hard at work with clients ...
