Tariq breaks down The #Don'tVote Campaign ( "Obama ain't do shit for us!" )
- Thread starter Mr. Met
- Start date
The pro Obama will say
He helped out hbcu
Helped out black farmers
Let a few out prisons for Crack
Reduced crack from 88-1 to 18-1
He's not the president of black America
We never asked for specifics
The anti-Obama will say :
Black people are worse than before
He helped out gays and Mexicana more
We only got prayers and songs and no real bulls
He's controlled by The Jews
I aint see the video yet but are his points valid.
Yall take this dude seriously? He's not politically astute. This is why parents should educate their kids. The kids come of age and look at this dude for profound wisdom. Tariq can't name the three branches of government nor speak on the Transpacific Partnership aka TPP. Just like Flint TPP has to become mainstream news and for black twitter to rant and rave, your jump off talks to the average bgoler about it after the drink break u might understand.

TPP INFO
Corporate media failed to cover the dangers of business-friendly trade deals in 2015, despite growing grassroots opposition to such pacts—and increasing public awareness about their contents.
Will 2016 be the year looming toxic trade policies catapult into the mainstream? Sierra Club trade representative Ilana Solomon hopes so.
"If we continue this work and build our movement we will build a new model of trade that puts the interests of communities and the environment before the interests of multinational corporations," Solomon wrote this month.
"Our short-term work is to stop harmful trade agreements," she said. "Our long-term work is to continue to build our movement so strong and fierce that it becomes unthinkable for governments to allow trade rules to undermine environmental and public interest policies because the backlash would be too severe."
Here are the deals you need to know to be part of the fight in the coming year:
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) — U.S. and 11 Pacific Rim countries
It was a "great day for corporate America" when the U.S. Senate passed Fast Track, or Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), in June, effectively surrendering legislators' ability to fully debate or even amend trade agreements like the TPP that have been negotiated entirely in secret. And when the text of the deal was finally released this fall, it confirmed the worst fears of environmentalists, public health advocates, and digital rights activists: the TPP, they said, was "worse than anything we could've imagined."
Thanks to Fast Track, President Barack Obama will be able to unilaterally sign the TPP for the U.S. after February 4, 2016. But it's not a done deal yet.
As Electronic Frontier Foundation's Maira Sutton explained earlier this month:
Both congressional houses must ratify the agreement in the form of approving "implementing legislation" that the White House will submit to lawmakers. This submission will happen after the President's signature, likely sometime in April or May. Once that happens, the House has 60 days from the bill's introduction to hold a vote on it and the Senate gets another 30 days, so 90 days in total, to approve or reject it. Since this second timeline only begins when the White House decides that they're ready for it, it all rests on whether the executive branch believes that it has the votes to get it through both houses. That's why it's critical that we call on our lawmakers to come out against this agreement: because that's how we can stop it.
"If we want to ensure that laws don't just uphold powerful private interests, but are designed and implemented with the public's best interests in mind," Sutton wrote, "then we must stop the TPP—for the sake of the Internet, our rights, and our future."
And the 2016 elections could prove helpful to those who oppose the corporate-friendly pact. The Japan Times reported Thursday that the pact "looks increasingly unlikely to be implemented before U.S. President Barack Obama’s tenure ends due to opposition among leading presidential candidates and some industries."

TransAtlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) — U.S. and European Union
October saw hundreds of thousands of Europeans pour into the streets of Brussels to voice their opposition to the TTIP, which would cover more than 40 percent of global GDP. And push back against the so-called trade deal, which would have negative implications for everything from human rights and global climate goals to democracy and food safety, goes much deeper than that. As of October, more than three million people had signed a petition demanding an end to the TTIP negotiations—showing, as Global Justice Now director Nick Dearden said, "that the EU does not have the public mandate to continue this deal."
Indeed, there appears to be brewing discontent across the continent, with the president of the German Bundestag, or parliament, in late-October threatening to vote against the TTIP due to its lack of transparency and democratic legitimacy. That statement came on the heels of remarks made by a French trade minister in September, who said "France is considering all options including an outright termination of negotiations" due to TTIP talks appearing to favor American interests.
As American Prospect co-founder and editor Robert Kuttner posited in an op-ed earlier this year, both the TTIP and TPP could be "on the verge of collapse from their own contradictory goals and incoherent logic."

Dude. Props.
Seriously. Just when I'm on the verge of ignoring him, he comes through with some hot shit!
First up, the extra money he gave hbcu would barely pay for ten Wilberforce undergrad degrees a year. He didn't do shit for black farmers. A group of them just successfully sued the government under his watch. He changed the crack sentencing guidelines because too many white people were getting caught up. Everyone else learned their lessons in the 80's and 90's.
Check out later props.
me and my people here!
I guess Black people don't benefit from Obamacare?
I guess Black people didn't benefit from the Stimulus Act?
I guess Obama didn't help any Blacks keep their jobs when he bailed out GM/Chrysler?
I guess we were supposed to line up and vote Republican even after the shitty years of Bush/Cheney.
This dumb Tariq fuck switched up from his "Mackin" hustle to poverty/race pimp.
Only our weak minded/permanent victim brothers and sisters can't see through his game.

First time I listened to Tariq in YEARS.
He makes good points. But, we have to fucking vote.

At the end of all this voting the electoral college will pick the president so how effective are people votes when it comes down to it???
As black people in America we need them set asides that other races were given to thrive or start over(Natives, Jews, Japanese, and others). If those groups did not receive those set asides they would probably be in the gutters or on the same level as black people collectively. We don't need to listen to anyone but demand these initiatives to elevate our race period.

Yall kats keep championing dude and he and that faux psychologist dude. Its cool for parents to be lazy nowadays rappers, the nfl, nba, mlb, etc are the actually Parents. If you grown enough to lay down and create a kid be man or woman enough to be there physically, emotionally, mentally , finically for a life time. Be a grow up albeit man or woman dead the issues and love and nurture your son and daughter. Stop giving them your baggage and nonsense from your childhood.
I look at Tariq and these other race hustlers like the KKK. I know they aren't about much so I don't give them my resources albeit my money, my time , my connections locally or nationally. They are dead from my pov. I'm giving back and will continue stop giving Tariq the time of day.
So because President Obama didnt focus on the black communities like most black wanted...he hasn't done anything. At the end of the day....he is a POLITICIAN and he most likely did whats best for the country as a whole seeing that at the end of this term no fucks were given.
But who am i...I wasnt expecting him to resurrect the panther movement or erase all bad credit or tell salle may to fuck off. I expected him to be what he is....A POLITICIAN

Again I quote King.....
"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
If a cac will kill you for doing it, then it must be important.

you cats are still listening to this video pimp ?
Not voting is what got us in the situation we in now. This is not a strategy or something profound. Someone tell this ntgtfohwtbs.
Dr. Anderson has called for the withdrawal of voting as well. As he says, it's time to spend money buying politicians...they answer to who pays the most.
110% cosign with all of you cats.
It's unfortunate that Blacks are so starved for TRUE, POSITIVE leadership that far too many are willing to listen to, follow & support any slick hustler who speaks well, tells them what they want to hear & blames the white man for everything.
Tariq (Wanna-Be-Pimp) Nasheed is no different from every other race hustler...
Put Trump in office. That's what niggaz need. I'm sick of broken promises and being stabbed in the back by these liberals who take advantage of niggaz.
Get rid of affirmative action and social programs blacks keep relying. When this happens blacks will be forced to do for self, create their own jobs, their own economy and grow their own food just like B4 integration. No more relying on whites who give u nothing. We seen what relying on whites has done.

Truer words were never spoken.
With all the blood we had to go through in this country just to have the right to cast a vote, all the people who lost their lives just make their mark on that piece of paper, for another black man to openly campaign for us not to vote is treason in my book.
Just go on and do the enemy's work for him.
Just go on and do the enemy's work for him.
So are we also getting rid of corporate welfare and the nepotism that white folks depend on.
Are we getting rid of the corporations and wealth that black people created for white folks..
as a matter of fact we should just blow up this country since we built it....
Is that what Trump is going to do ?
Nobody gets more benefits than white people. But as far as black people goes, relying on scraps will keep them in a ditch and passive. If you're self sufficient you won't have to worry them as much.
Right now most blacks rely on whites for every damn thing. When you rely on somebody for something they can easily take it away which they should since you won't do for self like a grown man is supposed to do!
That wealth that blacks created for whites how the hell is that helping black people??? Knowing you you probably think whites are gonna give it to you. But Whites are gonna suffer too and they're gonna somehow look at you as the cause.
What r u gonna do when whites close food stores in the hood, take jobs away from you that they gave you, and destroy social programs??? They may even put blacks in concentration camps when blacks if blacks riot over this.
Tariq said what I said years ago that the electoral college puts the president in office. So they decide if trump will get into office.
You ever think about that?
