Watching the games yesterday I realized how many instant black millionaires there were on the field. Most of these athletes both black and white have little to no education but make more money that 99% of the population.
in the past if you asked any person to name a famous black person that 9 times out of 10 they'd name and athlete. Today you might get a few Obamas thrown in but mostly it is athletes. It seems that pro sports have opened doors to black people in society that used to be closed. Today people put athletes on pedestals and treat them as celebrities.

and what have black people done for their own society and ghettos with all these billions and billions of dollars they are making in the nfl and basketboll etc?

You can only help those that help themselves...giving money to the poor is not teaching a man to fish...he'll be back with his hand out later...
Building schools and boys clubs and these kinds of things do help even if it's only a handfull of people that get the message.

How many people can name an intelligent white person?
Ask people to name a famous white person and you'll get mainly celebrities and athletes.
Athletes have been celebrities since the days of ancient Rome, at least.

I understand what you are saying, but asking to name a famous person (white or black) and an intelligent person are 2 totally different questions.

The Presidency Jumped the Shark decades ago...However, Obama was chosen for a simple reason...He is going to catapult social systems faster then anyone else could have because if anyone attacks his policy's, he/they get to throw out the race card and people will be forced to back off...Look how much the Jewish people have done by throwing out the antisemitic card...Its pure genius...

Brilliant post. So true....
My original point is that without sports were would the Blacks fit into society today? Would Hip Hop be as popular?

Now that I really think about it, it is difficult for me to even name off successful, powerful, influencial black americans outside of the entertainment and athletic world. :-\
