I would love to see Dr Umar on Club Shay-Shay’s couch. His agenda would gain 100X momentum.
I went to an all black, all boys high school on the south side of Chicago called urban prep where 95% of the teachers were black men! That school saved my life
It’s crazy how much knowledge Dr Umar puts out but it’s the blacks who bash him the most.
I'm so EXCITED and appreciative that Dr. Umar has turned the light on especially in the Black Community on this topic. I'm a Black Female who was targeted by the public school system. Sent for evaluation and was told I had schizophrenia. My mother asked the doctor to repeat that, he said yes and wanted to prescribe medication. My mother had a blank stare then turned and looked at me. Told me get your coat baby and we walked out the office and went home😂. My mom sat me down at home and talked to me and reminded me how smart I was. My mother told me when I go BACK to the classroom to show them how smart I am. I did just that. No meds no ridiculous untrue diagnosis. I was 6 years old. I now hold two degrees. If it wasn't for MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER - I wouldn't be who/what I am today - My Mother protected my MENTAL HEALTH from exploitation. Please Please Please- Parents protect your Children. Don't allow your child to be exploited by a fake diagnosis! I'M HERE. I'M SMART. Thank Youuuu MOMA❤❤❤❤
I’m a psychologist and there are numerous times where kids are diagnosed with ADHD by their pediatrician and then I do an evaluation and tell them that their child does NOT have ADHD. Usually it’s a problem with learning or behavior. It starts at home.
As a black teacher, I agree with everything he is saying. I encourage my parents to pay attention to the food that they give their kids and keep them active at home.

Dr Umar as an intellectual is top notch, he might have his politics and propaganda but when he’s in his field and intellectual Dr bag can’t no one play with him 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
There is an all-boy high school located in Cleveland, Ohio called Ginn Academy that only hires black men as the teachers and administrative staff. They are making a HUGE impact on their students and are making long-term connections. We need more of these types of schools in every city across the US.
This is so true my daughter has a speech delay and they tried to put her in sped full time . They weren’t teaching her and were trying to say her speech was affecting her ability to learn. I told them that wasn’t my experience with her. I took her out and put her in gen Ed they wanted her to leave the school and go to her local school. I accepted. She’s now in a Gen Ed kindergarten class knows all her letters and sounds doing math adding and subtraction just months after leaving that class room setting
I agree with the message . The SAT is a joke. I performed poorly, however I have 3 degrees now !
I’m the office manager/admin assistant for a SPED school, all facts Dr. Umar….oh I have so much to say 🥹
Wow. I have the EXACT same story as you Nick. I was diagnosed ADD in 2nd grade. My mother even went and got the prescription but when it came time to give it to me, she says the spirit told her not to. Then they tested me in and I tested in the 99th percentile of testers and they put me in GATE.
I'm a dark skin Black woman and when I was in elementary, I was always placed in the gifted programs, even being in a Black school, I remember I was the only Black kid in the gifted program for a couple of years, this was in the 1980's. I remember my 2nd grade teacher which was a white woman, used to threaten me to not send me to my 'gifted class' on Fridays if I got in trouble (which I was not a bad kid)... I got to 3rd grade getting bullied by 2 boys in my class and had a Black woman teacher and she was also my neighbor, she used to threaten me like my auntie or mom would, but never threaten to take away letting me go to the gifted class or any luncheons or activities we had. She always encouraged me and I love her for that, even 40 something years later.... RIP Ms. Turnbo oh and Black teachers definitely matter!!!
As a mother of a black man I’m crying right now. Black kings come together and raise our boys together
Very powerful interview!! That's exactly why I teach my kids at home. We have to stop being so dependable on schools to miseducate our children. They try keep us as busy as possible to prevent us from giving the proper time attention our kids needs to be great. I got nothing but respect for Dr. Umar and we need a million more knowledgeable brothers to join forces to raise our kids with a better understanding Salute Kings ❤✊🏿
Dr. Umar knows his stuff.
Salute to Nick for always giving someone a platform to voice themself and never being afraid to discuss a topic. And shout out to Umar for being unapologetically blk.
I agree with it starts at home…. I remember my son asked about an encyclopedia at 6 and o bought it for Christmas for him. He is 19 and a scholar student in college on a full academics scholarship. We are responsible for our kids education
As a Black male who was improperly diagnosed with ADHD myself as a child I also understand the lasting affects of this practice
