O/T:- Black Greats

Isnt singling out black people racist? Whether they are successes or not. It keeps the two far apart.

Indeed I agree it is racist and wouldn't be at all necessary if many of their achievements hadn't been erased from history leaving some posters totally ignorant of their contributions.

So your homework, in the name of equality, is to name the top ten in each of:

Artists/performers Male and Female artists
Actors (btw who is the top grossing male actor?)
Formula 1 racing drivers
Boxers
Sprinters (100 & 200, 400)
Long distance runners (5000m+ inc marathons)
Footballers


For a bit of fun which air squadron set a record for shooting down the most enemy aircraft in a short period?
Who was one of the first slaves to become a successful businessman and where did he do this?
Who first discovered a successful treatment for leprosy?

If there is a lack at the top then it is because history has conveniently forgotten them and many of those capable have been denied the opportunities. Those who have succeeded it appears "in spite of" not "because of" the 'civilised' world around them.

Are the blue varsities still making life difficult? Maybe some need some education that is unavailable at Public schools.

I could go on but for once Google is your friend.

p.s, listing achievements is sad, ability and worth is not in question, it never has been. Proving worth is not an issue.
