A couple of Masters and a Doctorate. You want black people to be heroic simply based on the color of their skin. No. That's not heroic.
You're right............people aren't heroic based just on how they look. It's what they do that counts.
Quick question Drunken Pussy Licker, do YOU think that you'd be able to go into an area where people are hunting you, pick up a bunch of people looking for freedom, transport them several hundred miles while trying to keep them hidden, knowing if you're caught you will be killed?
That is heroic. She saved many lives as well as helped usher many people to freedom.
Do you think you'd have the balls to do that?
