doubled checked to make sure but you forget Malcolm X for not so nice black men,
Just thought of another one Nat Turner,
I will also say Paul Mooney, b/c think it would make him happy to be on the not so nice black men list
And don’t forget about Wayne Brady for nice black men, and Al Roker and the Guy from the Green Mile what’s his name again.

So since Martin Lawrence was on Oprah today you can add New School Martin to the nice black guys list and You So Crazy Martin to the latter…
Ooh also Bryant Gumbel and Tiger Woods to the nice Black men list…of course

A List of mainly sports figures(who are one-dimensional in terms of human value), isnt much evidence.
America is fickle towards its ‘celebreties”, black or white.
