I have a dream...

Without MLK, we wouldn't have some of the following examples of awesome:



























1. Lou Gosset, Jr. Junior is of no relation to Martin Luther King, Jr.... stop being racist. But you may remember him from Iron Eagle and Iron Eagle II fame. Some of you 80's babies may also remember him as the voice of Commander Clash on "Captain Planet and the Planeteers."
























2. Family Matters- They were a family of firsts of sorts. This show depicted the first black nerd besides that dude from Revenge of the Nerds (he was more gay than nerdy). And of course Eddie Winslow was the only black guy I've ever seen with a muscle car-- a true trailblazers.































3. Junkyard Dog aka JYD- The pre-eminent black wrestler opened doors for future Hall of Fame wrestlers like.... um... Booker T and ... ummmm........ is The Rock Black? You may remember him for his charismatic finishing move-- the Dog-Butt, where he headbutted his opponents to submission. JYD tragically died in 1998 in an automotive accident, in which he fell asleep at the wheel (fail!) and is survived by large litter and serveral wives (I imagine).

























4. Jack Black. He's got Black in his name and he's pretty awesome.... so this counts. Suck it.\


BTW... this list also doubles as a list of 'Blacks with cool facial hair.' Harriet and Grandma Winslow included.
