Black Role Models

Deep Recess of the Dog's Inner Being | now | Dead Dog

[Dead Dog]

It seems to me that impact of Black's in American history and present has been completely downplayed by our media. And in fact, their legacy has been shanghied by such Race Baiting Poverty Pimps as Jesse Jackson his ilk.

So, I'm composing a list of influential Blacks who have made very significant contributions to the greatness of this country, or are now having a very positive impact. All of these people I feel should be studied in our classrooms and held out as examples for all races. Dead Dogs Black History:

Condi Rice (Ann Coulter with pigment). Thomas Sowell
Clarence Thomas
J.C. Watts
Alan Keyes
Michael Jordan (amazing skill, and hard work ethic to capitilize on it beyond imagination)
Booker Taliaferro Washington
Ken Hamblin (The Black Avenger)
James Golden (Bo Snerdly from Rush Limbaugh...I think he's better than Rush)

GW Carver, Walter Williams, the guy in California who started B.O.N.D., the famous principal in Jersey, Roy Innis...if only for knocking Sharpton on his butt on national tv,.....I'll come up with some more....TrueBlackMan also qualifies in my book. Maybe Karl Malone or Sir Charles if they would behave. The Grambling coach since forever...he has real common sense.

I've known plenty of old black men I grew up around in Mississippi who worked hard all their lives and raised their kids up right. Now they're gone. They inspired me as a boy. My dad was a contractor so I always knew and worked with many true "old school" black men as a boy. They had grit..understated.

[wardaddy]

Jesse Lee ...that's the B.O.N.D. guy right?

And don't forget Johnny Cockroach
Bryant Scumball, and Mike Tyson

Great post,great site.

The "I'm a victim" mentality holds people down.

Everyone needs positive role models to inspire them to be the best that they can be.

LARRY ELDER! He's my hero!

[Wordsmith]

Great site, thanks. Going to forward to my wife, the black conservative I most admire!

One suggestion - find a new Web hosting service. Whoever you're using has the site plastered with ads for Salon.com and the New York Times!!! Yikes!!!!!!

Colin Powell

[lysie]

In all honesty, I wasn't completely sure if his last name was spelled with 2 n's or 2 s's. After spelling it both ways, I knew it was correct. :-)

[lysie]

Going to forward to my wife, the black conservative I most admire!

That is a nice thing to say. She is a lucky woman.

St. Moses the Ethiopian

“St. Moses the Black was a former gang leader, murderer, and thief in ancient Africa. However, he became a model of transformation. His is one of the most inspiring stories among the African saints.”

“Moses, an escaped slave, was the leader of a group of 75 robbers. He was a large and powerful man, who with his gang terrorized the entire region. Moses was transformed after he and his group attacked a monastery, intending to rob it. He was met by the abbot, whose peaceful and warm manner overwhelmed him. He immediately felt remorse for all his past sins, sincerely repented, and begged to remain at the monastery.”

A wonderful Christian role model for modern black youth trying to escape a life of crime.
