LOL... you gave me a good laugh.

There has to be at least one actor that has made you laugh or entertained you. What about Eddie Murphy? Will Smith?

Because some people just love to spread their ignorance...

To answer the original question, I'll say Rosa Parks, MLK jr., Billie Holiday, and Langston Hughes... many more great Black people in history, but these are the ones that came to mind.

Maya Angelou. She's a fabulous writer and poet.

Definitely Collin Powell and Condie Rice. They are neat!

I have quite a few: Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Samuel Jackson, Barry White (ooooh baby! That voice!), Whoopie Goldberg, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Aretha Franklin...

I think I could go on and on...
