Malcolm X

I totally agree with you on Malcolm X. I'd toss in Minister Farrakhan too. Both have/had a terrific ability to communicate and their Black nationalism is fine with me, as a White nationalist message should be equally acceptable. I'll never understand why people shun political extremes. This nation was built on political extremism.

I shun ethnic nationalism for the fact that it is divisive. While I am, at times, critical of the corrosive culture which has overwhelmed much of Black America I nevertheless acknowledge them as fellow travelers on this mad and hellish world we call Earth.

Our common humanity and the community of agreement is our highest reach. That doesn't demand an acceptance or tolerance of uncivil or criminal behavior, but simply a recognition that all of intelligent humanity does, on a basic level, share common ground. Each desires freedom and happiness, and security for their families and children. They wish for all of those common basic human necessities. And so I eschew hatred, while criticizing that which I find abhorrent, and would prefer to celebrate the common ground that all people of good will share.

Malcom X had his human frailties, and his own set of hatreds, but he did recognize a basic truth - that nobody was going to give him a free lunch.

Cassius Clay

On my list I'd remove him and insert Joe Frazer.

Jackie Robinson, the Pride of Flatbush, is a can't miss on any list.

Louis Armstrong - a soul of great depth, and like Johnny Cash, had the gift of being able to share that expansive love with all. I still border on goosepumps listening to his recordings. No one did "Mack the Knife" better and his rendition of "It's a Wonderful World" tears your heart out.

And among musicians I would also list Ray Brown, Duke Ellington, and The Count. There were of course other greats but the Duke and The Count stand at the top.

And as far as Boxers go I'll take George Foreman - the reluctant Champ who took up boxing to escape poverty. Then of course would be the Right Reverend Roosevelt Grier - who used to knit on the sidelines. ;-)

Nice.

Quite a good list here.

And I know we've not named enough.

Thanks. We've barely scratched the surface. I suspect that we comes down to a matter of viewpoint for many. I think for most whites of good will they don't think of the people we have named as "Black" but as people, as Americans whom we are proud to have be among our fellows.

Amen to that.

Long ago, I learned to judge people on their actions and not on their words.

I seem to hear a powerful echo running down the corridors of time - something about "the content of their character". Ring any bells?
