He was popular enough to create the idea of Buck Breaking from his own mind, and then get a decent amount of black men to not only accept it as truth but be willing to take pictures holding it up.
He used to be pretty regularly quoted and talked about as a big name in pro-black narratives.
What is buck breaking?
I believe it originally referred to training a wild animal to be docile, but came to refer to how slaveowners would torture or rape male slaves to emasculate them. (the "Toby" scene in Roots would be a mild example)
It's funny because actually breaking people's will normally doesn't involve sexual violence until the CIA gets involved. It's only the weird westerners, specifically Americans, that come up with crazy sex-fetish based tortures.
All other places in the world, and all other interrogation & torture manuals, really only involve a bit of physical abuse, psychological manipulation, and fostering a sense of dependency. None require sexual violence, because that's weird, and only the Americans have a thing with putting hummas in a person's butt hole.
Americans and Tariq Nasheed specifically.
Ohhhhh. Ok. So this guy is comparing himself to slaves.
