I ask the list drafters to please consider re-naming it to "Current Black People I Admire" or something like that. If one is not a spear carrier than one should not be voting on who is the chief.
And, by the way, Clarence Thomas has had his membership card as a black American revoked.
The militants have enterd the board as usual saying the same silly statements as to who is black and who isn't black based on superficial at best accusations.
If you all were a person on speak and spell it would say something like this
"The black militant says, He's not black enough if he's born rich, He's not black enough if he has conservative leanings, He's not black enough if he was not born in the ghetto, He's not black enough unless he follows group thought, He's not black enough if he does not see white racism around every corner, He's not black enough if he's happy with who he is and not wasting away in a pool of self loathing".....
Militants get it together you're more destructive to blacks than any racist white could ever imagine!
Someone please explain to me why Bill Clinton's philandering, cheating, and dishonesty makes him "black"; and please explain to me why it's funny--and "true".
That's the self-hating militant black for you. Holding up a man with no morals and calling him black!! Does not surprise me one bit.
Oh right and i guess you're going to tell me what and who i know and how the black experience really is...and how even though i'm black i do not know what it is like right?
You want a better list how about this my militant friend. I'll create my opinion of the All-Time Greatest black leadership list. Again my opinion.

"I vote based on my checkbook and frankly have no moral obligation to look out for my follow man before my family. If i choose to look out for my fellow man that's my choice not something that is expected or a law!"
It's good that you live in America then. In many other countries, a person with your attitude would be strung up or run out of town by the villagers.
Reallly? And what Marxist/Leninists utopian communist village is this?
You've got some reading to do. Yes, you'd be run out of town in small-town South America, Asia, Africa, I'll stop there. No sense of common cause with your own neighbors and community, and you go about exploiting your neighbors economically, they will eventually run you out of town.
No mention of Ida B. Wells. No mention of Robert Church of Memphis, the first black millionaire in the South.
Why are you mistakenly referring to me as a 'militant'? It's bogus? I am not "a person using violence or force of arms to further a political agenda," so you are abusing the word.
