Tariq Nasheed's Take On Mamdani's Election

[Pioneer1]

Focus on the first 12 minutes of the video.....the rest of the video is just Tariq clowning on the caller...lol.
 

Tariq basically says the same thing I've been saying and stressed with richardmurray a few days ago about Mamdani's being elected as mayor meaning little to nothing to us as AfroAmericans and probably will cause more harm than good for Black New Yorkers.

He also touched on how Indians came to Africa and exploited it.

I totally support the awareness and perspective New Black Media bring.

 

My concern is they aren't providing actionable solutions to problems.

 

They encouraged Black folks not to vote for Democrats. Cool.

 

Who should Black folks vote?

 

What demands are we making?

 

What expectations should we have of these people?

 

How much money are we putting behind candidates and/or another party?

 

Having a platform is great. They like to quote or cite our master teachers.

 

Neely Fuller Jr. always said communication should be constructive. Questions and answers for solving problems.

 

Black folks know the problems. We don't seem to have an action plan for solving them. Just yapping and grifting.

Some have entertained the idea that the so-called "New Black Media" are actually being funded by Conservatives or some right-wing group to distract Black voters and pull they away from the Democrat Party.
Even if they don't get them to vote Republican....just pulling they away from voting Democrat ensures a Republican victory.

When I used to listen to The Black Authority....when I USED TO listen to him....I sometimes got that impression.

So you raise very good questions.

They'll beat up on the Democrats all day and call you a "shill" if you fail to be as hard on them...yet they don't tell us WHO we should vote for.

For a long time, they didn't have ANYTHING negative to say about Trump.
As was before....they wait until the man actually get's elected and sits in office BEFORE they launch any criticism of him or question his motives.

Uncle Phil Scott was the same way.
No talk of Republican racism until AFTER the elections are finished and people have voted already.....THEN you start doing stories about MAGA racists.

I've heard those claims. Plausible considering nobody really knows how some folks are being funded.

Right. There's no shortage of shills and tethers among us. Beyond delineating from them, what else should we be doing.

Thought process is we should already know neither POTUS OJ nor Republicans gives a sh8t about Black folks. Therefore, we know what to expect from them.

 

Again, I'm perfectly fine with Black folks not caping for either party. I never hear them suggest an alternative party or candidate or movement to start one.

 

I think it's important to call out racism white supremacy at every turn. The New Black Media does it.

 

Instead of merely pointing out white racists and supremacists, we need a plan. NF Jr. said we need to replace that system. 

 

IMO, the New Black Media has a huge opportunity to build a movement. Just a matter of coming up with agenda and putting action behind it.

I’m afraid unless the owners of new Black Media are more mission driven than financially driven. It Will ultimately not serve us.

Tether refers to the non-FBAs here who talk sh8t about us and/or think they are better and have accepted snd bought into the system.

Sure. The New Black Media should:

 

1) report and call out anti-Black issues

2) promote positive FBA endeavors and achievements 

3) keep pushing for reparations 

4) provide actionable solutions to fight the system of racism white supremacy

 

As long as the New Black Media maintans the watch and keeps FBAs informed they are providing a service to the community.

 

The Jews have organizations that call out antisemitism wherever it pops up. They are prepared to ruin perpetrators. We saw how much money Kanye West lost for running his mouth.

 

FBAs need a similar voice when it comes to anti-Black sentiment, crimes and policies. New Black Media is the closest thing.
