Voted : The case of Ruby Bridges
Inspiring.
I find it so amazing that up until the 1960's, almost 200 years after the country was founded and proclaimed all men are created equal, blacks didn't have equal rights. I could never understand the thinking of that time, glad I wasn't around to see it. I also don't have a problem with black history month, and another thing I can't understand, why some people do have a problem with it.
I got to see some good documentary about some people I have never heard about.
there was one about this chemist who developed cortisone for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. inspiring.
Voted : Jimi Hendrix
Rock god.
^I am actually listening to dolly dagger right now
Voted : Phil Lynott
I've beena Thin Lizzy fan for decades, but I never knew, until this month, that heir lead singer/bassist/songwriter was Black by his father. Knowing this, I get an extra level from the appreciation of his music.
"guess who just got back today, them wild eyed boys that had been away..."
Voted : George Washington Carver
He was a brilliant scientist who contributed greatly to the advancement of science in america, and who just happened to be black. He would have stood out based solely on his achievements and his superb mind, and does not need any sort of historical quota system to receive praise.
You know what Herzog, you will never accept the fact that your RACIST theroy regarding people of color is illogical and full of hate/B_ _ SH_ _, bottomline, you continue to show everyone here and beyond this site that you are nothing more than hateful trash...
Oh, you now speak for GW Carver? You are pathetic...
Anyway, I have a list of incredible people I would like to share that are the embodiment of success, education, respect, decency that fought and for some, continues to fight the hard fight of equality: (Feel free to take the time to search out the GREAT achievements of these exordinary people):

Voted : Musical roots of rock
Rock and roll was inspired by the Blues.
So I pick a brilliant black scientist to praise, and you call me a racist for that because it was not an exhaustive list of every single black person of note? What about dung picking jimi hendrix, rather than some brilliant scientist or political leader. What is he saying, that all blacks are good for is singing and dancing to entertain whites? Sheesh, what a racist.
You've sort of lost it more than usual on this one babs, but again I'll ask you for what exactly was racist about my comment, and once again you'll decline to offer any proof.
I notice you forgot martin luther king, I guess by your logic you're a racist for failing to include him.
"He was a brilliant scientist who contributed greatly to the advancement of science in america, and who just happened to be black. He would have stood out based solely on his achievements and his superb mind, and does not need any sort of historical quota system to receive praise."
Oh Babs, you are even more hilarious since your reincarnation! So now Herzog is racist for promoting merit over race?
Guffaw!
 *sigh* again, you are such a case Herzog...
Now, lets move on to more important matters, a continual list of greatness...
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR (I'm certain you feel much better now Herzog now that I have added him to the list)
Maxine Waters
Julian Bonds
Jessie Owns
Archibald Alexander
Norbert Rilieux
Elijah McCoy
David Crosthwait Jr
James West
George Carruthers
Miriam Benjamin
Benjamin Carson

John Christian

John Standard
Mary McLeod Bethune
General Daniel James Jr
Lillian Fishburne, Rear Admiral
Myrlie Evers-Williams
Wilma Rudolph
Oprah Winfrey
Dick Gregory
Tavis Smiley
Nikki Giovanni
Edward Brooke
Again, the list is endless and FYI Herzog, only you would assume the following:
"What about dung picking jimi hendrix, rather than some brilliant scientist or political leader. What is he saying, that all blacks are good for is singing and dancing to entertain whites?" ~ Herzog  sheeesssh...
Hey DD, HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!! Theres only 3 days left of celebration you two, what will you two do on the March 1, go back to your pathetic and boring lives no doubt  ...Lift every voice and sing...
^It really hasnt been a big event in my life Babs, Im sorry to say.
Maybe if middle class white folks with nothing better to do than take up the causes of people who dont want their help, like yourself, try a little harder to thrust black history month in everyones faces next year you can make more of an impact on my "pathetic and boring live" eh?
Till next year then. 
Voted : Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I have a dream that my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
If the good Dr. Reverand were alive today and saw MTV and BET, I suspect that his "I have a dream" speech would be overshadowed by his "What the fuck is wrong with you people?" speech.
^hahaha
I love it how herzog parades his alleged respect for one black scientist as a kind of alibi.
What a sleazy insincere cunt, lol.
Babs: you neglected to mention Edward Alexander Bouchet, first black man to graduate from Yale.
And again, by your logic since your list didn't include every single black person of note then you are a racist, or would you say that it is ridiculous to claim that because a list doesn't include every single black man in history that means the listmaker hates blacks?
Either your initial attack on my was absurd, or you are a racist.
And I challenge you to find anything wrong with my first comment. You can't, so you'll just scream racist over and over again like the race-baiting broken record you are. Perhaps you could change it up by calling me a fag or kike, as I know you aren't too fond of jews or homosexuals (I'm neither, but that's irrelevent) and certainly feel no hesitance at using slurs against these groups.
I'll answer the coward for you, Babs.
It's because your comment oozes insincerity, zog. Especially in light of the wide-brush scathing castigation of blacks in general that you've inflicted upon this website over the last couple of years.
One can't help but get the impression you posted that comment so you can tick the "Here's the proof I don't hate all blacks" box.
But I suspect you'd change your opinion of Carver if he lived next door to you... and brought up a family... got visits from his black friends... perhaps his son would start dating a white girl... wouldn't you?
Fucking right you would. We've got your card marked, fella.
I would say Booker T. Washington.
