I refuse to answer because I am a coward.

[MMMMMM]

C'mon, be a man and vote for Sharpton like I did--I couldn't help it and I'm surprised you can even resist the temptation [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'll submit a more serious vote once I learn a little more about some of the candidates, but for now...

Sorry Tom I really couldn't help it

[Boris]

What exactly is the motivation for this poll? Do I need to have a white role model?

Speaking from my own experience, my role models are not any one that you would know. What I mean is that none of them are public figures. Why do you think black people should have a "best role model"? Who would you like black people to model themselves after? What crap.

[John Cole]

Okay, here's a write in vote: Alice Walker. Gee, Tom, why only men?

[adios]

If it's crap do a simple search on google regarding black leaders and black role models. Perhaps the pole could have been worded better. Anyway here's a link where you feel the subject is full of crap too:

Bell Program Harnesses African-American Mentors for Kids

I don't know the statistics but if memory serves much higher proportion of Afro-American households without a father exist in this country.

the reason for this offensive poll must be very ugly.

[Boris]

So what's your point? That we should collectively decide which prominent black person should serve as the prototype daddy for all the poor fatherless black boys in this country?
