Racial Rushmore
5/13/11
by Rodimus Dunn
There are just some individuals that people of each race idolize. No matter what this person does or says, people of that race will forgive and/or exonerate them. Say something disparaging about one of them, and you may as well have yelled a racial slur. After much research, Answers From Men presents Race Rushmore. We know that Mount Rushmore only has 4 presidents, but for the sake of symmetry, each race gets 5 iconic faces.
Whites
Ronald Reagan
he made a lot of rich white people richer … nothing can top that
Larry Bird
Steve Jobs
Jason Sehorn
he proved that a white guy could play a skill position in the NFL, and be good at it
Charles Barkley
no matter how many bad things he says about white people, he is still adored
Blacks
Mike Tyson
Even now (as an overweight 44 year old) if he decided to make another comeback, scores of blacks would pay the $60 to see it on pay per view
R. Kelly
Even sleeping with and urinating on underage women (allegedly) won’t diminish his status amongst blacks
Michael Vick
Michael Jordan
Bill Clinton
He’s a Democrat from the south, AND he got a blow job in the White House … he’s a cult figure in the black community
Latinos
Julio Cesar Chavez
If you ask a Latino, he’s the best boxer ever born (even though he’s not even the best Latin boxer)
Celia Cruz
Don Francisco
The Latin equivalent of Bob Barker, he’s hosted Sabado Gigante for 40 years
Oscar De La Hoya
The “Golden Boy” can literally do no wrong in the Latin Community
Ricky Martin
Asians
Manny Pacquiao
He’s proof that Asians can compete athletically against the other races
Bruce Lee
Russell Peters
The funniest Asian comedian since … maybe ever?
Ichiro Suzuki
Jackie Chan
