We’re starting to wonder if Tariq Nasheed at this point is just a professional troll on Twitter. Honestly. He doesn’t seem to garner attention unless he’s being a repugnant ass; we never see him say or do anything inspiring for his so-called movement. All we ever really see from him is crap like this:

Stay classy, Tariq.
Pro-life warrior and all-around badass Obianuju Ekeocha understandably took issue with his tweet and tried to appeal to him as a public personality.
The mean-spiritedness that I am seeing among American public personalities is heartbreaking. Tariq u should be more dignified than this. https://t.co/CqxwNXzCm0
— Obianuju Ekeocha (@obianuju) October 17, 2017
Not sure Tariq knows how to be dignified.
Unfortunately I'm not. Someone sent it to me and I was petty enough to post it #ohwell
— Tariq Nasheed ?? (@tariqnasheed) October 17, 2017
Trolls are gonna troll.
The person that sent you that image may not have ur platform so they decided that u should be the one to spit on her & shame her publicly. https://t.co/x8Gnp9fM2Y
— Obianuju Ekeocha (@obianuju) October 17, 2017
That’s all he knows.
And of course, since Obianuju called it like it is, Tariq jumped the shark and attacked her personally:
Obianuju, is it true that your husband is white?
— Tariq Nasheed ?? (@tariqnasheed) October 17, 2017
Huh?
But my parents and all my brothers and sisters and cousins and aunties and uncles are Africans just like me. https://t.co/xfrg6svxoJ
— Obianuju Ekeocha (@obianuju) October 17, 2017
But its true that your significant other is a white person, correct?
— Tariq Nasheed ?? (@tariqnasheed) October 17, 2017
Notice how Tariq is trying to make her opinion mean LESS because she might be married to a white man.
I have no husband sir. https://t.co/xfrg6svxoJ

I haven't dated since I was 21! That was many many many many years ago. And that was in Africa. https://t.co/yBs8Lb7axe

He doubled down:
I see why you are putting on your cape for suspected white supremacists, tho. Based on your timeline,you are the professional "Black friend" pic.twitter.com/7wR3PykWqn
— Tariq Nasheed ?? (@tariqnasheed) October 17, 2017
Did he seriously just accuse Obianuju of being a white supremacist? Oh and super classy with the ‘professional black friend’ dig, Tariq.
Those men are working for me! https://t.co/8PlMzy0i9B

I did a broadcast last night explaining how many of you women from Africa are the biggest saviors of whites (24:00) https://t.co/BqmTovJ0Gm
— Tariq Nasheed ?? (@tariqnasheed) October 17, 2017
Don’t bother watching this, just FYI.
Its interesting you are doing EXACTLY what I pointed out. Thats a very big problem that Black people globally have to acknowledge

When all is said and done, I would like to point out Tariq that I am more African than you could ever be 9/

Peace unto you 10/
