Yesterday Charles Ramsey sparked an honest debate. Are his antics making black people look bad?
So I wrote a blog called Charles Ramsey’s Is Good For Black People, No Seriously and stated that him being himself does more for black people than just going on twitter and complaining.
The fact is black people do amazing things all the time but we don’t always recognize it, or even pay attention to it.
So we decided to highlight 12 black people who are making black people look great, all in their own particular way. Check it out…
Started Hop Stop now we’re here! Nigerian born, Chinedu Echeruo is the founder of Hop Stop and definitely helps make black people look good.
At the White House Correspondence Dinner, the President walked up to the podium while DJ Khaled’s song All I Do Is Win was playing in the background. It doesn’t get much better than that.
