be mindful that it does not have to be scholars only-
Michael Jordon is talented and has resources to impact many people, that's how I came up with Dr. Dre. A tenth of our African American People is how many thousands? Our list should be very long, I was looking for current Black fortune 500, and CEO's....etc,  to add to my list.

I am inclined to agree about Farrakhan, he had our attention, and weilded that Million Man march, brothers went home and Farrakhan went to sleep on it.

Ok then my revised list:

Michael Jordan
Barack Obama
Oprah Winfrey
Spike Lee
Bob Johnson
El seti anu ali El
Don Cheatle
Cornel West
Collin Powell
Maya Angelou
 
I threw out Farrakhan because he had the opportunity to seize his destiny yet it remains unfulfilled.

I am not in the nation but i give the man his due, but where would I put Michael Jordan for our people ummmmm not on this list because of his actions lately. He leaves a sistah and picks up a white woman. Ummmmm Nope can't do that to my sisters.

That is a very valid point they should be scrutinized for character and morals they set the standard as to how other races view us as a people and how we face the mirror and look at ourselves.

So Jordan is stricken from the list....
So is Clarence Thomas for that matter. W.E.B. Duboise hoped that the tenth of the race was going to free our race from hell in America.
 
Question I searched several sources and could not come up with who the richest Black Man in America is, ((not Stedmand lol)) could not find it.

Actually he is the man who created windows for bill gates and formed the Macintosh windows he is the person that did that not the three white guys like everyone believes. Can't think of his name right now but will find it soon.
