How about any black person that rose above common stereotyping, exceeded the expectations of a racist society? How about the ones that are being good teachers, parents, scientists, authors, speakers, future presidents (gotta love Condi Rice - wish she was running,) politicians, television celebrities, and peace activists? The list goes on and on.
