Now rap and rappers have ruined that. Only cool black person I can think of nowadays is Sam L. Jackson. sure, Fred Williamson's still around, but he's mostly retired.

As cool as Sidney Pointer in In the Heat of the Night, when he slapped the white guy in the nursery, with all the toddlers looking on?

as cool as SLJ? as cool as Denzel when he was at his coolest? Ha! as cool as Wesley Snipes with his Blade shades on? Ha! as cool as John Shaft walking down the cool New York city sidewalks with his theme song going? (I quote the movie tagline: "Hotter than Bond,
Cooler than Bullitt
") You wanna know cool?

Yes, I like the 70's black image the best.

By "Cool" may we assume you mean the 1970s black imagery? I for example think of Denzel Washington as "cool" (did not really care that much for his crooked cop in Training Day) but would not think of him as anything like the typical black man we saw on the screen in the 1970s nor as a rapper. I really liked him in Crimson Tide. So what's "cool" for purposes of this thread?

Keep in mind this is coming from a poster that has "Facist" in the title, their comments about any race are suspect.

Kelly grew up in apartheid. Kanye had it easy, comparatively.
