Tariq Allah Nasheed is an American filmmaker, anti-racism activist, and media personality.[5][6] He is best known for his Hidden Colors film series, as well as his controversial views and commentary on race relations in the United States, institutional racism, and dating.[7]

Early life

Nasheed was born in Detroit, Michigan, and spent most of his youth in Birmingham, Alabama.[8]

Career

In 1991, Nasheed moved to Los Angeles, where he began his career as a rapper and later as a dating expert under the "K-Flex" persona, before transitioning into documentary filmmaking.[9] Many of his dating books give instructions on how to be a pickup artist.[10]

In 2000, Nasheed had his first acting credit in the mockumentary TV series The Awful Truth by Michael Moore in the second-season episode "Taxi Driver", where he interviewed politicians in Washington, D.C. about allegations of taking money from lobbyists, including Mark Pfeifle, who served as deputy communications director to then-presidential candidate George W. Bush, U.S. representative Tom Lantos, and political campaigner Nick Nyhart of Every Voice.[11]

In April 2011, Nasheed released his first documentary film, Hidden Colors: The Untold History of People of Aboriginal, Moor, and African Descent, which he produced and directed.[12][13] Nasheed's follow-up film and DVD, Hidden Colors 2: The Triumph of Melanin, was released in 2012.[14][6]

In 2013, Nasheed released the horror film The Eugenist, which he also wrote and directed.[15] In 2014, he released Hidden Colors 3: The Rules of Racism[16] and co-produced Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (a remake of the 1973 movie Ganja & Hess) with director Spike Lee.[8]

In 2015, Nasheed was an associate producer in the short documentary film Wilmington on Fire, about the 1898 Wilmington Massacre.[17]

In 2020, Nasheed took issue with an LGBT branded sandwich that had been sold by British supermarket chain Marks & Spencers during pride month in 2019.[10]

In 2023, Nasheed opened the Hidden History Museum in Los Angeles. The museum features current and historical Black figures.[18][19]

Mink Slide

Nasheed is the lead singer of the R&B musical group Mink Slide, which debuted in 2018.[9] Mink Slide's first album, Egyptian Musk, debuted at number 12 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart.[20]

Views and beliefs

On race

Nasheed is known online for his controversial commentary on race.[21] He is a proponent of "Foundational Black Americans" (FBA), an ideology and movement he founded,[22] which is defined as, "any person classified as Black, who can trace their bloodline lineage back to the American system of slavery. To be designated as an FBA, at least one parent must come from a non-immigrant background in The United States of America." Nasheed believes FBAs must "seek out reparations for their own" and that American-born descendants of the American slave trade have not adequately sought out resources for themselves.[23]

Nasheed also uses the term "buck breaking" to refer to the sexual abuse of Black men, particularly in the context of slavery, via a documentary of the same name, which MEL Magazine described as containing "uncooked nonsense" and being largely inaccurate.[24]

African immigration to the United States

Nasheed is a vocal critic of African immigration to the United States. arguing they make getting reparations for African-Americans more difficult, and they allegedly take jobs and other opportunities away.[25]

Interracial marriage

Nasheed is known for his use of the term "bed wench" and the related term "Negro bed wench mentality".[9][26] He uses the term to refer to black women who date interracially. He revived and popularized use of this term, which historically was used to disparage black women who were raped by their masters during slavery. Ebony Magazine described Nasheed's conception of the term "bed wench" as a put-down of successful black women who challenge the institutions of black patriarchy.[27]

Other social issues

COVID-19 pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Nasheed was highly vocal about his distrust of the COVID-19 vaccine. He opined that, "they are using yet another Black, non-FBA doctor to do the #CovidVaccine experiment on today...Notice no one has given a scientific reason as to why we are only seeing Black people injected with this new vaccine" and that the "white powers in control" completely ignored requests for "reparations, decent employment, decent education, decent housing, no police killings."[28][29]

Reception and criticism

According to Refinery29, Nasheed "is notorious for his misogynistic, queerphobic, xenophobic and often ahistorical commentary on Blackness in America."[26] Stephen Kearse of The New York Times refers to Nasheed as a "conspiracy buff".[5]

Personal life

In 2014, Nasheed married Alexis "Peanut" Cobb. He has three children with her, as well as a daughter from a previous marriage.[8]

2018 swatting incident

In May 2018, Nasheed and his family were swatted by white nationalists while in his home in Los Angeles.[30] Several calls were made to the Los Angeles Police Department falsely claiming that Nasheed had kidnapped and tied up his wife and had planted bombs in the house, which prompted an armed police response.[30] Nasheed characterized the attack as an assassination attempt, and compared it in an interview with local news station KTTV to the Wichita swatting incident that had occurred a year prior, saying that:

"They [the LAPD] were actually good guys, and I take my hat off to them, they were very professional. But, what if they weren't though? You know, that's a dangerous situation to put somebody in, especially a person, a black American, in this day and age, where you can be killed with impunity."[31]

Nasheed identified the perpetrators of the attempt as associates of Twitch streamer Ice Poseidon (real name Paul Denino), whose community has been noted for its frequent use of hateful rhetoric against black people, including the N-word.[30][32] Denino denied involvement in the swatting over Twitter while describing Nasheed as an "evil person" and a "professional victim."[30][33]
