Only ones are Actors. so ask your browser and check out one like Morgan Freeman or Sidney Poitier. They have advanced the black man in USA more than any politician/preacher, activist, or singer ever has. Most would pick Martin Luther King, but, he really accomplished very little in regards to the tremendous amount of respect great black actors have. Musicians and sports figures have all been tarnished and degraded by the thugs who think they be "Gangsta". This is setting back the black cause by two hundred years.

How about Oprah Winfrey, or Ray Charles I guess. Obama, I guess. I wouldn't go with Tupac. He could rap, but he's not much of a role model. Promoting violence and peace at the same time doesn't add up for me.
