Why so surprised?  Kobe grew up overseas and knows multiple languages.  He's not an idiot.


lol ill admit to ignorance here. I guess he's a man of many talents.

I love how both liberals and Ron Paul supporters are shocked at the fact that a negro is intelligent. Not surprising given how racist those parties are.


I think it's more because he's a professional athlete. Athletes aren't usually known for being the smartest.

I think more Black people should stand up and be positive role models like this.

Are athletes not acceptable role models now?

US tennis player and black man James Blake is one of my biggest role models.

There is enough emphasis on slam dunking in the hood as it is. Education is the true elevative force.

Because people in the ghetto really know who most of these people are. Oprah is probably the only readily identifiable person in your list. So I ask, what good is a Black role model if most Black people have no idea that person even exists?
