Sadly, there are more black celebrities that are passing for white. Broadway legend Carol Channing revealed she was half-black on the Wendy Williams show. Her mother extorted money from her, threatening to tell the press that her father was black. All the struggling blacks she could have help in show business all those years. Mariah Carey and Halle Berry tried to pass for white, but the press and Hollywood never bought it. It's also rumored that Denise Richards is part black. Her ex-husband Charlie Sheen went on a phone rant and called her a N***.

Yeah, Dr. Gates is really stuck on that. He even did a show about his own DNA and traced his "cousins" back to Ireland. He said he wanted to fly back to his family and have a beer at a pub with his Irish cousins. I saw only one or two guys actually sit with him, and they looked so uncomfortable. Just like when Halle Berry first started out. She would always bring up in interviews, "Well, growing up in Cleveland with a white mother" she wore it like some badge of honor, until movie studios began turning her down and telling her to her face that her she was a black woman and they had nothing for her. Then she started screaming she was a "struggling black actress" Reality hit. What's wrong with just being plain black? When have you seen a white celebrity telling the world about their black great-great grandmother?

He used his God-given gifts of oration, sophistication, imagination, courage and intelligence to tremendously help the nation's poor. His impact reverberates to this day. May GOD grant Adam Clayton Powell eternal peace. Let's not forget he waged a magnificently succcesful battle to uplift humanity, despite the status quo's dislike of it. If you're on 125th Street in Harlem (in NYC), at the "Adam Clayton Powell Building," admire his statue with informed reverence. Humanity must honor his legacy by being intelligent, compassionate, logical, united and courageous--in battling oppression.

Black empowerment has always caused a problem with the so call popular people. But, it's courage to know that there were black people who understood what was being predicated by whites and their racist views on black people. So, Pastor and Congressmen Adam Clayton Powell was truly a demonstration of a black man who wanted freedom to be seen and not just a conversation for all people of color. This is Black history, but it's also American history.

Facts fresh...its promoted through the LENS..im 47 and was a disciple of (and still is kinda) of the late 80s till about 2006 hip- hop.culture. Money, bitches, and cars. Or (meaning) anybody born in the very late 60s-70s are the trees that bared the fruit we have now. And social media REALLY didnt make their behavior NO better, it made it worse, in terms of behavior. Glorifying MISCHIEVOUS behavior. And the oversaturation of the ENTITLEMENT COMPLEX these kids have now. EVEN THE ONES MY AGE AND OLDER. I HATE TO ADMIT IT, BUT IF I DIDNT HAVE MY PHONE...I GET MAD AS A MUTHAF×CKAH. (i wont front) The entitlement thing im talking about is..i was a roomate of a 21 year old young brother and he needed to make a call. We couldnt pay our cellphone bills but there was a working payphone on the corner. I gave him 50 cent..his reply was "NO, I GOT to use a CELLPHONE"!. All he needed to do was TALK to whoever he needed to hook up with. No texting, or Facebooking was needed, all he needed to do was conversate. And the payphone worked very well. Thats the ENTITLEMENT COMPLEX Im talking about with todays youngsters.

Wow, what an incredible man. As a little girl, I had heard his name mentioned, but didn't know anything about him, till now. He had the courage of a lion, and definitely a godfather essence, that you would want to go to, with a problem. I don't like how he sees seem to shun MLK, perhaps not realizing the magnitude MLK was making. Even though Adam Clayton Powell Jr., was definitely the forerunner of the Civil Rights movement, all coming behind should be welcomed aboard. It's ironic that both their death date is April 4. Still this don't take away the great impact Adam has made in my life. He was the realist of the realist. Thank you. ✌❤🙏Rest in PARADISE Adam Clayton Powell Jr.✌

Life is truly short...seems like all the powerhouses that made real change are passing right before my eyes. Many think we have arrived as a people....somebody needs to remind them, we have only just begun.

We haven’t ended racism. We are prisoners of war that’s why. We also don’t hold power in the house that’s how the politicians were able to block him from his seat but the streets backed him up. Unfortunately not enough of us hold seats to keep people like Powell in office.

I remember reading Al Sharpton's first biography where he talked about first meeting AC Powell when Rev Al was still a boy,in which he encountered an already well known ,powerful black leader sitting with a cigar in mouth and a woman in each arm. That gave me a clue of AC Powell's general image , but now I've learned how he helped his Harlem constituents and black people in general as well as why I don't hear him as celebrated as other black heros(except for that major Harlem Street).
