    After some consideration I have compiled a list of African American personalities that I consider heroes. I have followed them, listened to the things they have said, and am not ashamed of one word. Here is the list.

    Herman Cain
    Alan West Candace Owens
    Leo Terrell
    Shelby Steele
    Ben Carson
    Priscilla Shirer
    Tony Evens
    Peggy Hubbard

    These are fine Americans, every one. I invite others to examine them. I can drop the hyphenation now. It doesn't have to be about race. It's more about character. There is more than one common thread these individuals have. One that comes to mind is Joe Biden says "they ain't black"!

    Well why don't they build statues for them instead of breaking down the statues already there.

    You know the English murdered tens of thousands of Boer women & children during the Anglo Boer war but the Boers didn't remove a single English statue when they took control of South Africa. Instead they erected their own monuments & statues.

    using afrikkkaners as an example of morality is kind of redundant. thats like using hitler as a moral compass.

    Hitler, Tfu on him, was the Angel of Death's moral compass.

    Use them as an example of how inbreeding can turn the legacy of two successful European cultures into one backward, violent and ultimately failed culture. I always find it amusing that boers & their supporters were/are so obsessed with racial & cultural hierarchies without realising they were at the bottom of one.

    I'm sad that neither Clarence Thomas nor Thomas Sowell were on your list.
