Nah, you're right he really doesn't speak on race issues much. The one talk that comes to mind is this interview:

Here's another one where he mentions racism and the idea that blacks/women are genetically unfit to be in the sciences.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson - Being a vocal, public facing non white astrophysicist. Also for killing Pluto and helping discover dark energy.

Govan Mbeki - More of a South African thing, he is vocal against the abuse of power in South Africa.


Amiri Barakka - Because he didn't give 2 shyts.

Im sure youre or atleast hope youre joking, he hasnt done shyt for black folk.

Was glad people hadnt mentioned him..then they go and list him.
Beyond the bragging rights of having a person of color as Potus, he has been useless.

[2Quik4UHoes]

Its a shame the first and only one to come to my mind is Mumia Abu Jamal, free that brotha, but it just shows how much we're lacking with regards to real recognizable leaders and role models..
