Dr. Umar is a person that speaks with an aggressively charismatic style. So it reels you in and makes you wanna listen. Charming, comedic, interesting. Many things he says makes sense, but I think as a Black nation, we are past many of the talking points that he presents. He really isn’t saying anything revolutionary, he’s just regurgitating what’s already been told. What happens in this world is, because there’s a void that will always need to be filled, people will always try to fill it. Or at least claim to. Dr. Umar is that type of person.
i’ve made peace with the fact that a lot of our issues will never truly be fixed, maybe in our lifetime, but they’ll always be someone who presents their speech in a way where they act like they’re going to fix it. They’re not going to. I think peoples issues with him is he attempts to act as if he’s going to pick that mantle up, knowing it’s going to take a great deal of effort in order to. However, in the end he’s not going to be able to because what he’s aspiring to do? Takes a colossal effort. So he just comes off as a liar. He comes off as a grifter. He comes off as a person that’s telling inconvenient truths, but won’t abide by them. It makes no sense to have two different black women that you’ve made baby mothers. it makes no sense to act as if you can build a school for us as - Black people, knowing how many people do not want to actually invest in one.
