Hotep extraordinaire Tariq Nasheed trended on Twitter on Monday for brown-nosing conservative pundit Ann Coulter on Twitter when she added her unsolicited opinion about reparations for Black Americans.
In a resurfaced tweet from 2019, Coulter responded to a tweet by Nasheed about the needs of Black Americans concerning Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Foundational Black Americans need
TANGIBLES
TANGIBLES
TANGIBLES.”
He continued, “Not symbolic gestures. There are lawmakers all around the country being exposed for wearing Blackface. #ADOS need compensatory policies #Tangibles2020.”
Instead of minding the business that pays her, Colter wrote, “Tariq: I like #ADOS, but I think it should be #DOAS – Descendants of American slaves. Not Haitian slaves, not Moroccan slaves, etc.”
Black Twitter noted that Nasheed’s response “thanking” her gave “Yassa Baws” energy.
One Twitter user reminded folks that Nasheed’s mother-in-law was a whole white woman, so he was used to stepping and fetching.
The 48-year-old failed rapper from Detroit has made a living by dividing diasporans against United States-born Black Americans. From books to D-list videos, the opinionated “guru” speaks loudly and wrong about reparations and Black women. With Nasheed’s disdain for Africans and Caribbean folks, one would think he’d be better versed in Black theology.
In 2020, the hotep social media presence referenced Yoruba Deity Ogun on Instagram.
Somebody should get Nasheed a library card.
