VIDEO: Hyde Park bookstore says University of Chicago has been 'very disrespectful to us'

The owner of an African American bookstore in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, has a bone to pick with the University of Chicago.

Ras Sekou Tafari, the owner of Frontline Books at 5206 South Harper Avenue, said the university's construction at Harper Court is ruining his business.

Tafari told 2 City News, a small, independent news channel on YouTube, that the university put up a tiny, obscure sign alerting potential customers that the struggling bookstore is still open.

"No one can see that sign," said Tafari. "We've been continuously rallying the troops. We hope the university will get back to us, but I don't think so. Up to now, they've been very disrespectful in regards to us."

  2. I don't see any books on the bookshelves behind him. Exactly what is he selling?

  3. The word "dissing" is big amongst blacks. It's a big time issue for them. Being a bookstore owner and thus presumably a cut above the average he used the full, unabridged version of the word.

  4. What is all that crap in bottles he is selling? I know it's nothing I want.

    The nigger newscaster looks gay. He should go hang out in Englewood to see some real "disrespecting." He wouldn't last an hour.

  5. Im willing to bet all the coins in the bottom of my knockoff Birken Bag, that the same person who posts these clearly racist posts, is the same person who will give a Black guy a couple dollars so he can get down on his arthritic knees, and slurp, slob, and swaller (yes, SWALLER) on that mandingo, then burp and run back to his iMac to post his deeply ingrained hatred and disdain of blacks, with those same mandingo jerking arthritic fingers, and use those same mandingo sluping lips to spew his sanctimonious opinions...... hmph!

  6. I don't know what 2CN is, but their "reporter" is incompetent!
    The store owner claims the sign that U of C put up can't be seen, but the incompetent "reporter" never shows the sign & edit it into the video.
    As for the owner, he's obviously some Rastafarian type who sells all sorts of supposed secrets & potions.
    One of the book titles I saw was "Secrets of the Lotus". WTF!
    Others were "Lost Secrets of the Ancients" & something called "The Sacred Magic of Ancient Egypt".
    That tells me that he's one of those black idiots that insists that the Egyptians of the pharaoh's time were actually black & undoubtedly believes that Cleopatra was black, when in fact, she was Greek as were her entire family.

  7. Anonymous at 11:22 doing what blacks do best and resorting to "you want our dicks" as a retort. It's always about sex with black people and they love saying "once you go black, you never go back." The more accurate statement is actually once you go black, you're a single mom.

  10. He is just a shitty buisnessman. Why is it the University's job to advertise for HIS business? If the university wan't nearby, would he get ANY customers? Why would people even want to buy books full of fraudulent history and unproven facts?

    His bookstore is struggling because it sucks, and not because of nearby construction. I would like to see if there has EVER been a profitable year of business there. I'm sure the city is giving him some sorts of handouts to keep it afloat.

    If your business needs handouts to survive, it isnt a business. Its a charity case...

  11. Why doesn't he just put up his own sign, a BIG ONE?

  12. Why dont you just shut your mouth, your BIG MOUTH?

  13. I bet he doesn't even have an online store. If he knew we can download books for a fraction of the price, he would probably put a voodoo spell on the whole internet!

  16. I hate places like this, and morons who buy shit from them.
    I used to use a internet cafe back in the day, the owner basically married an asian prostitute and moved her to America. She had a haircare salon that she ran with some African booty scratcher business partner. They were forever harassing me to come in for a haircut, I went bald early and the booty scratcher kept insisting she had the cure for it, some stank ass salve.
    If she actually did, she would be a billionaire and not running a shitty hair salon in a strip mall in Fuckwater, USA.
    Plus I like being bald, I save a lot of money on shampoo and hair styling products.

  17. I need to add the hair salon partially failed and she moved it into the backroom of the internet cafe, so you could smell the sulphuric perm bullshit and other nasty smells.
    She was always nosy about what I was doing so I'd usually click on some horrific porn as she walked by and leaned in on me. I'm sure she starred in some of them, I just didn't look hard enough

  19. The devils offspring is alive and well here. I'm willing to bet every genetic recessive Albinoid mutant (cloned slave race from the cave) psycho-sociopathic ass plugs are all fucking animals, eating shit and your own babies.
