That's because The Root is owned by white daddy Univision. http://allblackmedia.com/2016/01/6-things-you-thought-black-owned/.
There is nothing Latino about Univision. It's a by whites, for whites network.
The real fun begins at the 37:58 mark
What exactly is he deflecting? I'd like you to elaborate this for the fam if you will.Notice Johnson isn't criticizing Black Women in his anti-IR rant.
Tells me after a year or two of (kind of) laying low, dude now's wants to deflect by throwing (iconic) Black Men under a bus. Umar's now going for that audience of Bitter Brigade of females. And these nitwits will blindly follow him due to his latest rants.
Cats like Belanfonte have done more for Black people in a year than Johnson will ever do in his lifetime. And some of you know that Belanfonte doesn't take any shit. Even at 90, that Elder can kick Johnson's ASS without a sweat.
I gave Dudes like Umar and Tariq a chance. But these dudes are attention-whoring and bilking off of Black historical pain.
Peeps need to stop falling for their shit, exercise critical thinking, and go to a library.

He don't fuck with his own father now because clearly he's a swirler. He always speaks well of his mother so source of Umar's hard line cuts deep.
So they just brought him in to drill him and discredit him?
He did a great job of shutting that down
It seemed like Roland was putting him on record about his claims.How did Roland try to discredit him?
One of our problems is that we always see things as one vs one.
Roland challenging him on an issue isnt the same as trying to discredit him. Its a debate. Which we should be able to have WITHOUT automatically reverting to calling each other coons and frauds just because of the disagreement.
. It was like it was three against one. The attorney seemed to stay neutral.
That phrase is mad feminine and so is have several seats but I've seen straight men use both terms

He didn't absolve them either........ some of y'all just disagree because you like Cac women.
People have very legitimate questions about where their money is going. And Dude is now doing a full court press after not practically hearing a peep from him for over a year.

I guess I understood where Roland was going from. Everyone he named (that were married to white woman) are considered Civil Rights Icons. Don't know the reasons they married white, but a lot of them did it at a time when they could be killed just for looking at white woman, so their was no disillusions about their skin color and how much freedom they did or didn't have. They were knee deep in the struggle for civil rights. They were there for the protests, the arrests, the dog attacks, etc. so to to totally dismiss everything they did because of that one thing seemed a bit much, while at the same time giving his ancestor a pass for doing the same thing.
I agree with you on the money issue yes he should expect to be questioned on where/what's being done with the money when it was given/donated to open a school and such.IMO...
Johnson's using the IR issue to take the attention off of his own issues. Especially in regards to the money peeps gave him for that school.

Sorry. But going on an Anti-IR rant all of a sudden is a women's move whenever they don't want to be under a microscope.
HEY DUMMY!
My ex-wife is a Black Woman.
My Current Lady is a Black Woman.
Try Again.
The money is in an a non profit trust. He has a gofundme page with updates regularly. If people feel he's doing something fraudulent they should contact the proper authorities. Im sure they would love to bust Umar for fraud. Curious why it hasnt happened yet since the concerns are "legitimate", all thats happened is tweets.![]()
Met Umar this weekend at the Caribbean Festival in Baltimore. Seemed like a nice guy. Was happy to take pics with folks including my pops.
