Dude my father was one of those guys, and like you, I thought he was on some next-level genius mind. And like you, as I got older I realized he was nothing but a delusional idiot.Bruh I grew up in the 90s and early 2000's I used to hang out by Mos Def an talib book store on Rutland and New York. as a kid I used to think these dudes were geniuses like the stuff they talked about. It seemed like so fucking serious out this world radical pro black knowledge, black empowerment I’m thinking these are the smartest guys on the fucking planet. But as I’ve gotten older I realize it was a bunch of bullshit ! like this dude Jamar literally said satellites are not real dinosaurs Never existed in the art of dialogue interview that I just seen. He said if evolution is real why are there still monkeys and I’m like bro what the fuck?
Let me give you an example of his derpness, he told me with a straight face that he thought that the KKK was going up to Chicago and killing black folks with black masks on.
Then when he got old and senile he told me that he thought the nurses were seeking in his room and planing shit in his diaper. Yo he said this in front of my friend who came with me to visit him and I swear we both almost popped a blood vessel trying to hold in our laughter while he was dead ass serious.
