Yes, James Brown had MONEY, Money Transcends skin color, and a lot of other things.

James also made records where he said that no place else could he rise from shining shoes in the city square to owning businesses there and performing sold out headlining shows. He even made several remarks that things are better off in American than in Africa. He was grateful for the opportunities available in America and try to encourage others to make the most of them.
