Michael Strahan and Wil Smith in no way fit the example of a Minstral. She could have easily chosen Hermain Cain, Allen West, or Jimmie "JJ" Walker. These three fit the modern Minstral that some still like to see on T.V., and they are much better examples heck these guys have their pictures in Wickpedia right next to Amos and Andy.
Will Smith didn't go to MIT BTW. He was accepted but didn't actually attend.
Quote:
It is untrue, though widely reported, that Smith turned down a scholarship to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); he never applied to the school,[10] although he was admitted to a "pre-engineering program" there.[9] According to Smith, "My mother, who worked for the School Board of Philadelphia, had a friend who was the admissions officer at MIT. I had pretty high SAT scores and they needed black kids, so I probably could have gotten in. But I had no intention of going to college."
That's the reason why Kelly selected that particular black guy. He's silly and goofy. He's like Will Smith. White people love dumb acting, goofy blacks. They feel more "at home" around silly blacks like the 2 above.
There are many other blacks that she could have selected but they had to select a happy go lucky tap dancing black guy.
When will blacks stop trying to win the approval of whites and be yourself for once.
Having humor is a much desired trait that makes one likeable. What is he supposed to do be an ahole all the time and be pissed off at the world. Hell hes probably so "silly and goofy" because he laughs when he looks at his bank account thinking I get paid millions to play a friggen game for a living. lol

Actually it was the viewers who choose Strahan not Kelly. What other "black" guy would you have preffered? Bryant Gumble?
Kelly is quite "goofy" and 'dumb acting" herself but that is part of the appeal of a light hearted morning show. As far as I know Strahan is "himself" which is "human" and he doesn't walk around thinking he's "black" unlike your self obsession with race!
As for Will Smith he has developed into a very good actor. "Six degrees of Seperation"?
Allen West a military hero vs a jumping and jiving actor.
You need to buy a dictionary.
A dictionary won't give me names, but nice try and thanks for playing. I respect and honor Allen West's military background, however I don't respect the things he says NOW in present day. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air aired from September 10, 1990, to May 20, 1996. So being consistent I do not look at one event to define a person I look at where they are now and what they are doing presently. Herman Cain was and still is a successful businessman who forgot where he came from. Jimmie "JJ" Walker realized as a comic (certain) people laughed at his act, he carried it over and continued to be laughed at on television (as the original jumping and jiving actor), and now that he says what (certain) people want to hear as a (jumping and jiving) talk radio host he continues his $ellout success. I think these three men are the silly ones because at the end of the day the party they support and do all of this (Jumping and Jiving) for think of them as good __________ers, and nothing more.
