Word when MLK and Malcolm X died that left a void one that Jesse Jackson and Farrakhan could have stepped up and filled they both have failed to seize their destinies they both could have easily kept the ball moving and made a bigger impact than MLK and Malcolm X if they would have took advantage of the fact that they got killed it should have made our movement stronger.

I can't knock him either we ain't perfect as much as we try, and Minister Farrakhan hasn't made himself relevant in years.

Aight Jordan did all that stuff for awhile but all that stuff was hidden from the public because he was the NBA's #1 meal ticket and the greatest player ever he still does alot for the youth though by building community centers and things like that.

Yes you have but with Michael Jackson thats a big if he still has the mentality of an 8-year old being that he never had a normal childhood so thats up for review, Robert Johnson(CEO of BET) should be up there though for sure.

u missed your calling....
ComedyLOL
 
But let's be concerned with wether or not he can offer something to uplift Black people...I think if he applied himself he could bring all sorts of empowerment,  into our Black mainstreams...
But we would have to get past his past...I think that may set some Black folks off....
 
Jamaica have I swayed you?

those are people who certainly have resources and have successfully made names for themselves......actually we discussed Farakhan.
he absolutely has something to offer.
Again the list is very long I am sure...there are everyday people who are resourceful and willing to "reach one teach one" and that is the Spirit of W.E.B Duboises idea of the Talented Tenth........of the Black Race.
