I've said this before, Michael Jackson is the most famous person ever. Period. Black or White.

Seems like Michael Jackson is the choice. But i still feel that Ali and Barack are just as known. Everyone knows who the president is. But i do remember when Mike died it was just the world stopped for a few days. Everything was all Mike all the time for that week.

Gotta throw in a vote for Bishop Desmond Tutu. He's at least top 10.

But yeah it's definitely Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, Barack Obama, Nelson Mandella, Muhammad Ali, MLK Jr. (in that order) before him.

Kobe and Shaq may actually be on the list as well.

And you can't forget about Idi Amin. He's well known too.

Didn't even think to put Mandela on my list. He's on the same level as the Mike's and Ali too. Louis Farakkhan is too.

Oprah gotta be in the top 10

MLK easily if its not about current era. He's up there with ghandi and mother teresa, basically modern saints. Not to mention they came at the beginning of the media revolution (photography, video), when ever people will want to look at the oldest record images of revolution theyll look at what happen with MLK and thats for all history

Nobody outside of America gives a shyt about Oprah, so no.

He's not as well known today... but Mansa Musa was the wealthiest black man, and the wealthiest man in general for all of history. Reading about his influence throughout history due to the gold and salt trade was really interesting.

I would say MLK and Malcolm.

But fukk Michael Jackson might be #3 .
