Where would you say Barack Obama ranks among important/influential African Americans in history?

For the same reason Rihanna isn't more impactful and influential than The Rolling Stones, despite Rihanna having more Top 10 singles.

Why is no one mentioning Michael Jackson? He broke down a lot of barriers.

Michael Jackson wanted to be white breh, he wouldn't even give his "kids" Black DNA

I think you missed the point of the Rihanna example.

Based on what? He had vitiligo (which was confirmed on the autopsy). As for the kids, don't really have any answer for that one.

I guess that's kinda cool. The Pope could have The Bangles on his playlist. It wouldn't really mean anything.

How did that help us though? I'm not saying he didn't have some impact. But there were a lot of people before him and a lot of people that are in the shadows. Hell I'd put that c00n Ben Carson over Pac.

 

[kermit da hustla]

IMO he's up there with MLK but behind 2pac
