Why is this a poll? there are too many choices for it to be a poll.
Jimi Hendrix, Condaleeza Rice, Tupac, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone. |

when i pick an african american who i most idolize im not gonna pick a rapper.
you make it seem as though that list of african americans are the only black historians, especially because you felt you had resort to Jay-Z. what about, Jessie Jackson Dred Scott Sojurner Truth henry highland Garnett john mercer langston hell if ur gonna name tupac and Jay-z what about Oprah like someone said, or even Michael Jordan or Colon powell or Condeleeza. and those are just the ones i know im sure theres many more, people add some that i forgot. QUOTE(xxcrazyjewxx @ Apr 9 2005, 5:06 PM)  Why is this topic back?!?! It was made in Feb....for Black History Month. It is now April...and not Black History Month. Anyways, I'd say Martin Luther King Jr.  just because its not black history month doesnt mean u cant bring up this subject jeesh.

I think this is borderline hypocritical. We shouldn't need one month to celebrate the people who have changed this world, nor should we even concentrate on race. I believe we should be aware of the men and woman that have fought for our rights every single day. And be thankful to them and follow their example.

I don't think it's fair to just pick one as your favorite. Each have their own great attributes and contributions to the world so you can't just choose one because they are basically not comparable to each other. In my opinion at least.

Out of all the choices, I'll pick Martin Luther King Jr. But obviously, everyone else were incredible as well.

QUOTE(eli5e @ Apr 9 2005, 4:01 PM) jay-z!?? riiiiight. ... whats wrong with jay-z being on it? he is one of the biggest african american businessmen, urban culture would not be what it is now if it wasnt for jayz. jayz is the classic example of a young man coming from undesirable situations to rising up to be a very successful business, man. he made it cool to dress nicely, instead of wearing shirts that hang to your knees. he made it cool to enjoy music of higher quality, signing artists like kanye west, royce da 5'9, joe budden. he is one of the first black artists to completely "cross over", being accepted by everybody and selling tons of records. jayz deserves to up there more than the williams sister do.. props to hov.. not that im voting for jay but yeah |
