Tariq looking young as hell!

Tariq so fresh

Tariq is one of my role models. Black Entrepreneur

In my opinion, too many of us African Americans are scared to be Black. We worry too much what other ethnic groups will think if we are more together than apart. Over the past 5 months I have learned more about African history than I ever did an any public school or college. The biggest thing I have taken away is that back in the early 1900's up until maybe th '70's, African Americans always did things more as a unit and not individuals; no matter what it was. Nowadays we only concern ourselves with what WE have in our individual lives and mostly do not worry about anyone else, mainly out of the fear of not having our own comforts. I am just one person but I teach my kids and about their history and I make sure they know that there is nothing wrong with spending your money at Black owned business; its the least I can do.

*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ Salute to the King of Receipts Tariq Nasheed ✊🏾 *6/6/24* Always inciteful and informative. FBA all day. FBA all the way. 🤜🏾💥🤛🏾

with a strong Afrocentric community here in the California Bay Area, it would be great if Tariq would do a promotion of Hidden Colors here in the bay area.

It's not about being "afrocentric", it's about the truth, simple as that. Acknowledging black history and what they've done isn't afrocentric.

***** Nothing wrong with being Afrocentric. People always act like Afrocentrism is wrong, yet never even question Eurocentrism.

S. B. Fuller: Master of EnterpriseA Great Businessman is RememberedBy Elizabeth Wright[Reprinted from Issues & Views Winter 1989]He preached economic independence and he lived it. As in the case of many great people, his death was quietly reported in the news media. There was no fanfare and little editorial comment. Yet there is no doubt that the life of S. B. Fuller will stand out as a remarkable achievement, not only in the annals of black history, but as part of the history of free enterprise. When he died on October 27, 1988, at age 83, he left behind a legacy that once included a vast business network, created and expanded by him during the very worst days of Jim Crow bigotry. Raised in poverty in Louisiana, the young Fuller began work as a door-to-door salesman. With only a sixth grade education, he possessed a drive and a belief in his abilities which subdued virtually every obstacle placed in his path by racial discrimination. Fuller parlayed his innate intelligence and organizing skill into a multimillion dollar conglomerate of companies throughout the United States. He became a leader in the sales of cosmetics, starting his first cosmetics firm, the Fuller Products Company, in 1935, with $25. He ultimately owned or controlled eight other corporations, which included the Courier newspaper chain [with papers in Pittsburgh, Chicago, New York and Detroit], a Chicago department store, and a New York real estate trust. Only the strange, ironic twistings and turnings of events unique to the American black experience could find a man like Fuller ostracized by his own people. Not content with the malicious wars waged against Fuller's businesses throughout the years by the Ku Klux Klan and White Citizens Councils in the South, prominent blacks were to publicly condemn and shun him, and urge others to do the same. Branded in the 1960s as an "Uncle Tom" (and sometimes with worse epithets) by the leading luminaries of the civil rights establishment, Fuller's companies were boycotted by the black masses.

The Only way to dominance is in the way of knowing what and who we are. Re-establishing the god inside of ourselves and regain the power we once had as a people. We don't need to know the rules of racism or how to be accepted. How does that serve us? I think the message should be "find your inner power with the backing of mother earth and regain what you were made to be now that you have been conscientised". It's really great to create this awareness and resuscitate conversations with the melanated. But they must also want to spiritually psychologically and physically be free. Let's not worry about what non melanated people think or how we can be part of their way of thinking. Let's do things differently because we now know better thanks to you guys Tariq Dr Phil etc. .. Love to you.

This dude is always on point

I agree with everything up until he mentioned Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry has created a modern-day minstrel show.

Sorry for the late reply...... I do noticed the results Tyler Perry brings to the table,regardless how awful his movies are.....He brings seats and creates jobs for minorities. More than any producer or director. Stepin Fetchit did the same for Muhammad Ali and his blacks.....he wasn't focus on Awards or Accolades....he was stable and working in major film studios on a regular.

On a different note: Tariq can you please get acquainted with Mr Credo Mutwa ( hes a Zulu Shaman) of south Africa (look for his videos on YT as well). He will be most valuable. Peace and love.

TO: badgyrl1310, i was never going to respond to Brian Brown remark,did not think that it was worth the effort. but thank you for your astute insight and logical reply. No one said anything about it having to be afocentric, but comments like his often happens when people read into a text instead letting the text or written statement speaks for itself, perhaps a symptom of the educational system.Anyway, once again, Thanks for your insightful comment.

Mentuhotep Ra Sorry, don't have it! Just kidding. Problem will be choosing the overseers to the funds and allocating it's use. Not a bad idea though.

Blacks the same as Whites or any other race or ethnic group who are BORN (Natural Citizens) in the United States are AMERICANS. An "African-American" is a person of any Race or Ethnic Group i.e. White, Black, Indian, Arab, Asian etc who is BORN (Natural Citizen) of any the many of the African Countries of the Continent of Africa who IMMIGRATES to the United States and goes through the REQUIRED LENGTHY LEGAL PROCESS that it takes to BECOME an AMERICAN. Currently this process takes 3 to 5 years and includes a BACKGROUND CHECK, a CITIZEN SHIP TEST and more. ONLY AFTER one satisfies this criteria can one QUALIFY to BECOME an "American". Once they qualify to be exact they will become an African-American". African-American to denote that America is NOT the place of their Birth and that they have exchanged their National Identity from Sudan, Ghana, Somalia etc to American. Conversely, any person of any race who is BORN in the U.S. is NOT REQUIRED to undergo this arduous process. Why because they are a Natural Citizen of the U.S. or a Citizen by Birth. Additionally, there are many different Ethnic Groups of Black people all around the world such as; Black Italians, Black Canadians, Black Germans, Black Australians, Black Brits, Black Africans as well as Black Americans. Black American culture is just as VALID as ANY CULTURE from ANY Black culture any where in the world including the culture of Black African people of Ghana, Sudan, Nigeria or beyond. Black Americans - we are proud we are indigenous. I give Respect and love to all Blacks and all other people - regardless of their Nationality or Ethnicity. Much Respect to Mr. Nasheed. I am proud to be a Indigenous Black Native American.

In my country (south Africa)...being black OR African is the same thing. There's no such a thing as black African. Even white people born there don't ever claim to be African. (Sorry. This is my two cents)

You are lost in the sauce.We are Foundational Black Americans not immigrants to this country. We are a blend of The Black Indigenous, The Black Europeans who were expelled from Europe and the captured, sold African people of Africa transported to South Central and North America.By the way more Africans were transported to Brazil and other parts of South America and the Caribbean Islands than North America..that nonsense that you typed out is some pathetic, pitiful moronic nonsense. Told to you by White people.
