why do you think there would be a revolution. there is no reason to revolt. people who revolt are stupid and afraid of who they revolt against. stop judging humanbeings by race, we are all one race and work hard to achive where we are.

I am wondering why this question is in Royalty.
First of all, when you make such a bold statement. Over 75% of the worlds 100 most powerful people, you need to back it up. What program on what channel was this on. I would like something to verify. For the sake of argument right now though, I will assume you are correct.
Our country has evolved so much in the past century. Slavery and prejudice are no longer prominent in the U.S,with the exception of the ignorant cesspool that makes up a small percentage of our population. I think that it is safe to assume that the 100 most powerful people in the world are fairly intelligent, right? They must to have become so powerful. So, I think that they are all past the point of race. I am pretty sure they are not even aware that 3/4 of them are black because they are not so ignorant to care. So are they coming back? They did a long time ago when we ended slavery.

Why? Where did they go?
I never thought black people were nothing!
In America, it is true that they had to work hard to get taken serious and overcome adversity, but women had to do the same thing. It's nice to see that it is finally getting noticed that black people can be prosperous, for many have been for a long time.
And black people all over the world have been in power (outside America) for, I don't know....like forever?

Well as far as I'm concerned a large mass of black people (or any race for that matter) with lots of money doesn't mean they're worth their salt on this earth if they haven't got their heads on straight.
Just as quickly as say, famous black rap artists for example, gain their wealth, they can lose it all just as quickly because they let materialism define their worth.
Having less money than the average joe never really made or broke black people. Thinking poor and abandoning their spiritual wealth is what usually threatens the prominence of blacks.
Programming like BET, that reinforces self-hating consciousness with keepin' it "real" images like Gansta rap, Freaknic, bling-bling, and disrespecting black women, is what threatens the existence of black people.
Not that material wealth is a bad thing, it's actually quite good and can be used for great things--including allowing oneself many luxuries without apologies--look at Oprah and Bill Cosby.
Their massive material gains is not what made them suddenly exist. More people just recognized them and their sustainability because they KNOW that they KNOW that they're deserving of abundance. They don't need anyone outside of them to validate them as human beings. To them, distributing their wealth is not limited to monetary contributions, but it also includes disseminating wisdom and setting positive examples, particularly in the mainstream media--a main artery for cementing conventional stereotypes and myths about how Blacks are expected to act. Bill and Oprah do their best not to perpetuate conventional myths and simply do not accept illegitimate excuses from Black people, who carry on like modern-day Sambos, who play into all kinds of predictable societal expections.
They are painfully conscious of Blacks who choose to pimp themselves that way. They don't judge them, but only ask that those folks do some introspection and be accountable for how they choose (with their God-given will) to live and view the world.
Black people were never "nothin'" and never will be "nothin'". Sustainability and making their mark in the world begins when they escape from their own perception that they somehow deserve less than anybody else.
They just have to believe it, unplug from their collective tendency to embrace a self-imposed victim hood and everything else follows. Self respect and loving oneself IS abundance, which attracts abundance--as the material world perceives it.

Was this on the E! Channel, BET, VH1, or MTV? Hmmm, anyway why is this question in Royalty. It's not like you were talking about African tribes or anything. It does seem like half of the entertainment community is black, or a nonwhite race. I assume that this was a list of entertainers, philanthorpists, politicians, etc.

What do you mean by 'coming back?' I have always thought that they are the "chosen ones" and could go farther than anyone if they decide to. I think it is time to do so and end racism once and for all. In most cases, it is "over" although there are still some ignorant ones out there. What better way to end it all, than by being successful in all ways - wealth, status, family, values, morals, kindness and philanthropy.

Money, respect and the ability to make decisions is great, but if you can't spell or use proper grammar you're going to lose at least two of those.
