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.

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.

All should be because are they advancing us as a people or are they just a puppet in the pulpit.

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.
