Didn’t I predict that Nasheed’s reaction to the #ADOS break w/ FBA would be personal insults & devaluation of @tonetalks & I for being broke?

This is proof positive that FBA is a hollow, intellectually & ideologically empty org. Roast me all day, but what’s ur plan for this:

1/ In case u forgot how perfectly I predicted this moment, here’s a quick review:

2/ FBA doesn’t exist. Nasheed doesn’t have a plan for anything; he never will. He’s not a serious person. He’s not a serious thinker.

He’s an Agent of Chaos, who will always draw your attention to *JOKES* & away from the kind of *TRANSFORMATIVE POLITICS* that fixes this:

3/The endgame for Nasheed was always to co-opt the rhetoric of #ADOS, fold it into FBA, then use it to promote DVDs & crowdfunding ventures for Nasheed’s personal enrichment.

After all the roasting, Nasheed’s viewership is poor too. And there’s no FBA plan 4 this:

4/ After ur done laughing at Tariq Nasheed & his antics, understand that you’ve been played.

Nasheed pulled a bait & switch. FBA has nothing on offer to fix how #ADOS are positioned to fail in America:

5/ The #ADOS plan has *ALWAYS* been specific calls to action, on behalf of a Black Agenda w/ reparations as the heartbeat.

That’s what Project Takeover is about. That’s what ados101.com is about. FBA has no plan. But this is still ur life, regardless:

6/ Tariq Nasheed encourages his followers to embrace anti-intellectualism, & devalue data, in a world that’s only becoming *MORE* complex.

This is a recipe for manipulating ur followers, not empowering them.

Again, what is the FBA plan to meet the material needs of the group:

7/ Data isn’t just a group of numbers on a page. It’s a description of a group’s positioning, and it makes a case 4 how slavery, & accrued disadvantage, have rendered #ADOS a bottom caste.

Any1 who argues against that data is making a racist argument.

The FBA plan for this? 👇

8/So Tariq Nasheed made u laugh? With jokes really designed to be more cruel than funny? That’s fine. Pimps & hustlers like Nasheed don’t define me, & they sure as hell don’t bother me.

*BUT* what plan does FBA have on offer for *YOUR* life? For the men who watch Nasheed? 👇

9/Sometimes it’s helpful to understand the moment ur in: Black America is at a crossroads.

Will u get engaged, & stay engaged, in advocating 4 serious politics & collective uplift?

Or 10 more years of Bussy jokes & muppets? It’s up to u. But FBA is led by a comic, not leader:

10/ The same reason Nasheed was in this Faith Evans & Diddy video is the reason he does everything he does: Personal fame & enrichment have always been his internal drivers.

Any serious movement dies in Nasheed’s hands.

Choose wisely. ✌️
