Receipts aside, he looks like the MAGA operative that he is:

dude said fish, fries, and feel good dances the disrespect is real...
white folks gonna eat off this, Marcel is TBA boy more so Tariq but he barely got 3000 votes so it shows Tariq's FBA movement is moreso online than in real life.
Tell them Dr. Johnson.
Expose these FBA cultist faggits.
The same Biden who said "if you don't vote for me, then you ain't Black"?
I don't agree with all of his views but give the brotha Marcel a chance.
He puts Black first despite his support of that Orange oompa loompa.

Hes a gay coon. He admitted to having sex with men in alleys. Just another weirdo that the internet and folks like Tariq elevate
Yo, I like Tariq personally but I tuned off a while ago cuz it's all the same recycled info, I support the cause, I seen him get a Asian lady fired in Atlanta for racism against sisters and he lead the charge on twitter and someone pulled up her company and she got the axe so I can't hate everything he does but at the end of the day it's all a hustle and it's kinda run it's course in a sense.There is a ton of truth in the bold
and that can be said about a lot of these movements.
Grifters post contrary shit online for clicks and likes. Then people that have no idea what they’re talking about latch on to the shit thinking that saying shit that’s different makes them look smart without actually doing any research or learning anything. All they have to do is keep repeating what the grifters put out.Brothers with brains, please help me with this
Why are we experiencing the influx of coons that we are in the last decade or so? I'm really curious about yall's theories.

This makes sense to me as part of it, I'm just always reticent to apply blankets like this because I use sm a fair bit and I'm in the field like a muhfucka. But I read 100x more than I post, so I'm guessing you mean muhfuckas who stay posting shit.Clicks and likes. Social Media is a drug to alot of people....
I am always leary of people that stay on the gram and twitter doing XYZ.....
The niggas doing the work and grind don't have time for that shit. The only time they have for social media is to show the end results of the work they have been doing...
This speaks to what happens, but I'm moreso curious about cause.Grifters post contrary shit online for clicks and likes. Then people that have no idea what they’re talking about latch on to the shit thinking that saying shit that’s different makes them look smart without actually doing any research or learning anything.

And from tine to time the grifters hold a conference to fleece the dummies out of their cash.

Sounds like a plausible piece, but damn. Such intangible payoff, it's crazy to me that sacrificing their long term image within their own community is worth cooning out.
Two days to go.
This speaks to what happens, but I'm moreso curious about cause.
Like...what coonifies a niggas spirit? Because it ain't a good paying gig for 99.9% of these muhfuckas. Hell, not a paying gig at all for 99.5% of them.
Man.
I tell ya, people will fall for any old bullshit these days. Education is a thing of the past.
Yeah man...So many of our great leaders and schloars are gone....The only person on that panel I respect is Professor Smalls because I've heard him speak several times with the greats like Dick Gregory and he is always on Carl Nelson show on wol
Perhaps but if he aligns himself with these grifters what does that make him?
People judge you by the people you associate with quicker than they judge you by your actions.
If you want to be taken seriously you have to be careful. Very careful.
But if you're just grifting, well...

It's a combination of things. In no particular order:
1) "New Blacks." We have a group of people who are more ashamed than empowered by our past and what we've overcome so they want to transcend their blackness and become better than/different from the average black person. They tend to be a bit more successful and think other black folks aren't because they have a "victim mentality" and all they have to do is stop playing the "race card" to advance. They don't want to to be reminded of our history, they want to move about freely in the world without being shackled by blackness or the stereotypes that accompany it.
2) Weak minded, sorry ass black folk. You see this in many of the ados/fba folk. They feel insecure and inferior. They need somebody- anybody - they can feel superior to. They are tired of feeling like the forgotten and bottom caste and are more than willing to step on the backs of someone else to elevate themselves. They also want to transcend blackness, so they hold on to anything that says they are Native American or have origins from anywhere other than Africa. They don't see folks on the continent as our distant cousins anymore, only separated because of the slave trade. They see them as an enemy. They also don't realize that for the ones who do have poor opinions of blacks in the US, that those opinions were shaped by white supremacy and propaganda to intentionally keep us separated, and they are more than willing to widen the gap. Just like white and black folks here in the US have also been subjected to the propaganda that we are lazy, and unwilling to do for ourselves, like systems were not in place to hold us back. It's called systemic racism for a reason.
3) Dumb people with good intentions unwilling to educate themselves properly. They may be waking up to and discovering politics for the first time but don't realize how government works. They are swayed by anyone with an authoritative sounding argument. They make unreasonable demands, and get mad when agendas aren't passed but don't understand dems don't have the votes to pass them. They fall for a lot of grievance politics which may be rooted in legitimate issues, but the people they are listening to aren't offering solutions, just targets to be angry with. There are no gatekeepers for information on the internet.
Any idiot with a camera and a mic can put out a video about something they pulled out their ass, and sound like they know what they are talking about because they speak convincingly, but a lot of the info out there is bad and/or misleading.
3) People with anti-government tendencies. They concern troll over what the dems are or aren't doing, but are never willing to address what the GOP is or isn't doing. They want us to be mad at dems because they have 2 people unwilling to fall in line, but have no heat for the GOP which has NO members willing to do the right thing. More than one of the folks around here have said that this want to see the system fail, and to do that they think we need to have the GOP win and take over. They have this romantic ideal that black folks have survived worse and would survive this, like we didn't or won't have people suffer and die. They also think black folks will win and come out on top even though we are 13% of the population. I've remarked more than once that Steve Bannon also wants to see the system fail, because he thinks white folk will win. They can't both be right.
4) Outside influences. I've told y'all someone cracked the code and realized that black folks distrust the system and they've targeted black folks with conspiracies amplified from the most distrustful, least reflective individuals they could find, and now we all suffer for it. A lot of the Russian and Chinese propaganda targeted black folks and the infiltrated local BLM and other activist groups. One of the twitter accounts I followed only posted positive stories about black people, but it was one of the accounts that got deleted when they pulled the Russian accounts. Normally what happens is they lure folks in with legitimate issues, and then bit by bit start introducing ideas to radicalize people or spur them to take certain actions. I remember when we had folks quoting Russian memes and talking points word for word. SMH.
5) Grifters stirring up controversy to make money off their audience.
6) Groups and organizations targeting (usually) black men or using a black face to push GOP policies and agendas. They want to siphon off black votes from dems and (usually) black men are the way in for this. Some black women are susceptible, but we don't usually fall for the nonsense in as great of numbers.
7) A lack of critical thinking and America's piss poor education system. They can't do the basics and surmise that if a + b happens, then c will result. When they do try to do the math it's something stupid like if we withhold votes then the dems will be forced to pass our agenda if they want us to vote for them again, (even tho they will have lost seats, lost power and have fewer votes do do anything with.)
8) Chaos agents. They don't have shit else to do than sit at their keyboard all day and talk shit, so that's what they do. Half the time they are arguing for one side, then the other. They don't really care about politics or what happens to the country in general, they just want to start some nonsense and watch the rest of us hash it out.
9) Folks claiming to be black or dem, again with an agenda to get people to listen to their otherwise BS viewpoints, to sway folks to not vote dem. Again, just chaos agents.
10) People who only read headlines, which are often misleading. They think they are educated about a topic, but only have sound bites, so they have faulty opinions due to faulty or incomplete information.
There's probably more but that's all I've got off the top of my head.
In my opinion it starts with low self esteem and self hate. “I’m not like the rest of these niggas” comes from the premise the the normal thoughts and conditions of the Black community are lesser than.This speaks to what happens, but I'm moreso curious about cause.
Like...what coonifies a niggas spirit? Because it ain't a good paying gig for 99.9% of these muhfuckas. Hell, not a paying gig at all for 99.5% of them.

Fact check: In 1977, Biden said without orderly integration, his kids would grow up in 'racial jungle'
In 1977, Joe Biden said mandatory busing to integrate schools would lead to a "racial jungle." We rate an online claim about the remark partly false.www.usatoday.com
Just before the remark, Biden advocated for "orderly integration of society" rather than school integration via busing. "I am not just talking about education but all of society," he said.
He addressed the expert witnesses at the hearing, and then launched into the quote in question: "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."
"We have got to make some move on this," he added.
The exchange appears here in the transcript of the hearing.
Biden was not against desegregation — he just advocated for other methods, like housing integration, per the Times.
Earlier in the hearing, Biden said he thought mandatory busing had "repercussions" in terms of the "ultimate objective of seeing that we get integrated neighborhoods, of seeing that we eventually eliminate job discrimination, of seeing that we change housing patterns, of seeing alteration of the tax structure."
Based on the transcript, the headline of the article on Team Trump USA is true — he did say integration via mandatory busing would create a "racial jungle."
However, the claim that Biden said "I don't want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle" is false. There is no evidence Biden made that particular remark.
the same marcel who got fired from his job as an educator becos he was saying despicable dehumanizing things about his black students who are children of immigrant parents ? or the marcel who says all the vile shit about africans during the day but gettin his cheeks busted by his Nigerian boyfriend at night?The same Biden who said "if you don't vote for me, then you ain't Black"?
I don't agree with all of his views but give the brotha Marcel a chance.

this article has been one of their go tos for the longest & anybody with a brain knows this was debunked as false yet they keep trying to pass it off as factsSee my post above.
Sambo saw some shit on the internet. He's too lazy to do real research, so he just runs with what the grifters put out on the internet making a fool of himself.
All to prove he's not a sheep like the rest of Black people and somehow, he's special.
And knows nothing.

They also don't realize that for the ones who do have poor opinions of blacks in the US, that those opinions were shaped by white supremacy and propaganda to intentionally keep us separated, and they are more than willing to widen the gap. Just like white and black folks here in the US have also been subjected to the propaganda that we are lazy, and unwilling to do for ourselves, like systems were not in place to hold us back. It's called systemic racism for a reason.
3) Dumb people with good intentions unwilling to educate themselves properly. They may be waking up to and discovering politics for the first time but don't realize how government works. They are swayed by anyone with an authoritative sounding argument. They make unreasonable demands, and get mad when agendas aren't passed but don't understand dems don't have the votes to pass them. They fall for a lot of grievance politics which may be rooted in legitimate issues, but the people they are listening to aren't offering solutions, just targets to be angry with. There are no gatekeepers for information on the internet.
Any idiot with a camera and a mic can put out a video about something they pulled out their ass, and sound like they know what they are talking about because they speak convincingly, but a lot of the info out there is bad and/or misleading.
3) People with anti-government tendencies. They concern troll over what the dems are or aren't doing, but are never willing to address what the GOP is or isn't doing. They want us to be mad at dems because they have 2 people unwilling to fall in line, but have no heat for the GOP which has NO members willing to do the right thing. More than one of the folks around here have said that this want to see the system fail, and to do that they think we need to have the GOP win and take over. They have this romantic ideal that black folks have survived worse and would survive this, like we didn't or won't have people suffer and die. They also think black folks will win and come out on top even though we are 13% of the population. I've remarked more than once that Steve Bannon also wants to see the system fail, because he thinks white folk will win. They can't both be right.
4) Outside influences. I've told y'all someone cracked the code and realized that black folks distrust the system and they've targeted black folks with conspiracies amplified from the most distrustful, least reflective individuals they could find, and now we all suffer for it. A lot of the Russian and Chinese propaganda targeted black folks and the infiltrated local BLM and other activist groups. One of the twitter accounts I followed only posted positive stories about black people, but it was one of the accounts that got deleted when they pulled the Russian accounts. Normally what happens is they lure folks in with legitimate issues, and then bit by bit start introducing ideas to radicalize people or spur them to take certain actions. I remember when we had folks quoting Russian memes and talking points word for word. SMH.
5) Grifters stirring up controversy to make money off their audience.
6) Groups and organizations targeting (usually) black men or using a black face to push GOP policies and agendas. They want to siphon off black votes from dems and (usually) black men are the way in for this. Some black women are susceptible, but we don't usually fall for the nonsense in as great of numbers.
7) A lack of critical thinking and America's piss poor education system. They can't do the basics and surmise that if a + b happens, then c will result. When they do try to do the math it's something stupid like if we withhold votes then the dems will be forced to pass our agenda if they want us to vote for them again, (even tho they will have lost seats, lost power and have fewer votes do do anything with.)
8) Chaos agents. They don't have shit else to do than sit at their keyboard all day and talk shit, so that's what they do. Half the time they are arguing for one side, then the other. They don't really care about politics or what happens to the country in general, they just want to start some nonsense and watch the rest of us hash it out.
9) Folks claiming to be black or dem, again with an agenda to get people to listen to their otherwise BS viewpoints, to sway folks to not vote dem. Again, just chaos agents.
10) People who only read headlines, which are often misleading. They think they are educated about a topic, but only have sound bites, so they have faulty opinions due to faulty or incomplete information.
There's probably more but that's all I've got off the top of my head.
