Tiger Woods doesn't even consider himself black. He is biracial, so I guess minus 1? 😬

[@earlinebeaman]

he's not really bi-racial he's just mixed with other races but whether he admits it or not he is more black than anything else.

😂 always body part what is the “Idiom” for the brain? My 10 yr old granddaughter came home with a list of 100 Idioms, she is being trained on by her “teacher”. Like I’m so hungry I could eat a horse. I informed her of an equivalent in blackness which for most of us we heard through ways of knowing protocols

Glass half full pessimist thinking calls black excellence a myth. America gives you what you need to find happyness for most people

Mike, it’s ok that you don’t understand. Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s like some types of people can clap to a rhythm and season their food and other types can think and use logic. No big deal. Relax.

Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Patrice Motsepe, Strive Masiyiwa... are billionaires, too :)

[@Roadrunner65553]

Kudos. People like Dangote and Elumelu are from developmental Africa. Can we name any black industrialists like them in America? There was the late Reginald Lewis… and he had to sue an adversary that demeaned him racially….
