    I listen to him regularly and I agree with 70% of what he's saying. What he's saying applies to blacks worldwide. the only thing I don't agree with is his stance on religion and islam in particular. Other then that he's always on point. Apart from being an intelligent man he's great orator as well. He really knows how to get his point across...

    From the video's I've seen of him, he doesn't really talk much about religion outside of the fact religion is used as a crutch by a lot of black people. He constantly takes Marcus Garvey's stance and says your religion is between you and your ? , African people has bigger issues other than who's ? is right.

    I c/s this thread. Umar is an intelligent dude. I agree with alot of what he says. U can't try to convert a man from what he truley believes in. But I can guarantee u religion was a part of the reason he is who he is today. Not religion in a whole but that fact that he decided to seek the most high that woke him up to the plight of the black race.

    It may not have but o can.say from a personal experience that mu walk with ? caused me to look at the world in a different way. Which in turn caused me to research and helped me to develop a zeal for the advancement of blacks as a whole.

    @longmeat the only thing I didn't agree with is when I heard him say he's a black man first and a muslim later. If you're a muslim you know religion comes before anything else. I heard him say we shouldn't emphasize the importance of the (fos7a) Arabic language, but as a muslim he should know better. Other than that I agree with almost everything he says. I'm listening to a lecture of him as we speak...

    Umar is 100 % right when it comes to religion,. The black slaves in Sudan and Mauritania and Sudan are slaves. You cannot place your non-black Muslim brothers above your black Christian brothers or even idol worshipers. If you do then you are useless to our fight. Islam is used as nothing more than Arab imperlism.

    You're confusing Arab nationalism or racism with islam while the two have nothing to do with eachother. Arabs only make up about 30% of the muslim population anyway.

    I just found out this brother is just 37 year old. It says so on his site. He's a great role model.

    His view on the school system are fresh and coming from someone who sees it from the top
    He also doesnt let his education overshadow the spirit of his message
    He is the book of Revealations
    To the few that truly understand

    it aint no conscious community, you got so many different schools of thought there is no one-ness besides us being black, then you got a debate on that, (i'm not black i'm a moor, i'm kemetian,i'm asiatic, i'm african, etc...)
    I respect a lot of the positive stuff that the brothas are doing.

    big shout out to sara suten seti,brotha polight,king noble,saa neter,natural tahuti,umar johnson,phil valentine, and so many more. Keep doing the work!

    @zombie why not

    Because the philosophy that umar seems to be trying to modernize is good old fashioned pan-africanism of the garveyite type.

    The so called conscious community revolves around ancient history and spiritual systems it is mostly composed groups who claim to know something, the problem is that what they claim to know is mostly made up, implausible, or impossible to verify. These groups include the moorish science temple, the various hebrew israelite groups definitely the nuwabians and to a lesser extent the kemetians.
