    The real problem these people have is the backtracking lying and covering up.

    Shoulda just said "I love bad ? that's my ? problem. And yeah I like to ? , I got a ? problem."

    that's all i'm saying. the same way he made that statement saying he was celibate. he could made another statement saying he's no longer celibate, "it's a challenge you sistas are the truth".
    case closed, it aint that hard.
    one lie lead to another then another. now he probably tainted his movement, that he worked so hard for in the first place.

    when a person put themselves in a position to be a leader, they cant make moves like non leaders. especially when their blk, fighting against wht supremacy, doing good.
    they gotta b on they p's and q's

    People make mistakes, fuckit. We've all done a little silly ? from time to time. I just overdrew my Bank Account the other day buyin Seafood and didn't even realize it. Now thanks to the penalties and the cost of the food I owe the bank $38.


    It's not the worst thing in the world but it's ? silly. And he's no Rozay either so we shouldn't lump all of that ? together

    did u really just compare ya self, buying sea food to umar johnson, and what he's tryna do with this school movement ???????

    look dude, i understand we all make mistakes. but when you are in a certain position, certain mistakes can be costly.
    this will definitely taint his movement...

    this ain't even about the stripper chick, cause that's literally nothing.
    it's about lying, about potentially being cellibate, when he didn't have to lie at all.
    then when he got busted, he lied and said it was 2 weeks, when it was more like 6 months. then potentially lying about demarcus cousins.
    that speaks to his character, and he's looking like a potential liar.

    it ain't even that deep bruh...
    Umar was caught slipping and that's that ... everything don't have to be a plant.
    like numerous posters say, nobody is perfect PERIOD.
    and props to Umar for STRIVING to do good.

    but at the same time, Umar handling of the situation raises red flags.
    everybody slip up , we make mistakes but the homie potentially handle this situation like a non upstanding dude.
    and everybody is just giving him a pass blindly.

    the thing is if this is true
    if she was indeed a plant,agent,infiltrator etc.
    as many of the good doctor's acolytes have vehemently proclaimed

    this should automatically disqualify him to lead

    the fact in this day & age, a man of his "esteemed" education,insight and wisdom STILL managed to clumsily fall for (literally) the oldest trick in book???

    His judgement skills should forever be under scrutiny

    Black people are looking for one who has no fault, which is horribly impossible. I mean Moses was a great leader but he had faults, David had faults, Mansa Musa had faults, and the list goes ? on but they did great things for the betterment of their people that far outweighed their faults. I could see pimping was their fault because it is deliberate hustling that's a BIG difference versus someone ? up and ? some chick that is a stripper while single.

    Yes, but only if it directly contradicts what you stand for on a fundamental level i.e. pro-black with white wife, or if the activity is so outlandish that we question your mental stability i.e. ? ? .

    It depends if the person is looking for someone to follow or if they are looking for knowledge


    I wouldnt have learned as much as I learned if I care about a persons "image". IMO, if they fall off, I got the knowledge now so fck em. I always try to check sources so really I ain't the type to say be a follower of anyone. Point me to our sources n I'll give u a shout out but that's about it
