Top 15 Most Overrated Black People (A Good-Natured Response to Professor Hill's List)
15) Maya Angelou (Coleridge she ain't).............14) Barack Obama (a nondescript state senator/mediocre student at Columbia who defeated Alan Keyes).............13) Chris Rock (please, say something funny).............12) Tyler Perry (the new master of mass mediocrity).............11) Mike Tyson (yeah, he was formidable, FOR A WHILE).............10) Whitney Houston (I will always hate her).............9) The Reverend, Jesse Jackson (went from being an inspirational teacher of self-esteem to shilling - bad).............8) Condoleeza Rice (the worst national Security Adviser since McGeorge Bundy).............7) Michael Jackson (in the words of the late, great Andy Rooney, "bad, very bad").............6) Wesley Snipes (how this dude ever got work is beyond me).............5) P Diddy (living proof that literally any idiot can get rich these days).............4) Cornell West (so, so full of shit).............3) Clarence Thomas (the dude just sits there, he literally just sits there).............2) Kanye West (Obama had this one right - he's an ass).............1) Allen Iverson (if selfishness was a virtue...).............................................................................................P.S. I was going to include the Reverend, Al Sharpton and Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, but I don't really know anyone who rates them in the first place, and, in order to BE overrated, you first have to be rated.

I think Thomas does more than just sit there. If he hadn't voted with the Constitution in mind, say, on Citizens United, it would still be a crime for people to do something like make a film critical of a sitting US Senator.
Thanks, Clarence, for taking us one step away from having the media freedom they enjoy in mainland China.
Professor Mark Lamont Hill already did one on overrated whites; Ronald Regan and Elvis Presley being a couple of his entries.
Mark Lamont Hill, isn't he the dude that makes Fox News look like a group of geniuses?
That's him!
How about Toure, who is so clueless he obeyed his commanders and went on TV to bash Herman Cain for being black.
Forgot about him. Take off Maya Angelou and put him on instead.
Heros/villains/hasbeens- rating folks reflects on personal taste, and whether the ratee has good or bad
press .
