Is there anyone who can show me that the current black idols are NOT:
1. professional athletes rolling in dough
2. professional rappers rolling in dough, chicks, and cars
Nope, nobody can do it. So why should I give a f*** about "giving back to da comoonity" when I don't see any of my heroes doing it? As long as the prevailing, celebrated black attitude is "I'ma cut cho throat fool. Po da Cris" then black people as a whole will NEVER progress.

Colin Powell
Larry Elder
There are a number of positive Black Role models outside the sports and music industries. Colin Powell from the Bronx, and Larry Elder, from South Central, are both black men that came from "da hood."
