The 15 Most Overrated Black People

Mark Lamont Hill - Mark Lamont Hill Ph.D that is, so this must be an intellectually fruitful exercise, and devoid of racism to boot - got us started.  But nobody has the balls to rebut, because we've been so cowed by political correctness and the race-baiters.  But people are people, so if there are phonies and overrated pretenders amongst white folk, the same must be true of black folk.  And if it is acceptable for Mark Lamont Hill to point out the overrated honkeys, then goose, gander, and all that...so let's have those balls and let's get started.

The 15 Most Overrated Black People:
Barack Obama
Malcolm X
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Aretha Franklin
Cornell West
Jesse Jackson Sr.
Jay-Z
Samuel L. Jackson
Harry Belafonte
Halle Berry
Marcus Garvey
Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Maya Angelou
Colin Powell
Chris Rock

Just my opinion.  There you go MLH, PhD.  Back atcha'.

BTW, the only exceptions I have with MLH's list of overrated caucasians are the two clear errors, Ronald Reagan and William Shakespeare.  The Gipper and the Bard are underrated if anything.  The rest though, no objections from this cracker.
