Your most influential black role model from 70's television?

[glen]

In response to the asian bias, this is an affirmative action thread.

 

[notfred]

I never watched TV in the 70's

 

[Uclagamer_99]

can i still vote if i wasn't born yet?

 

[Hooligan]

glen, isn't Shaft from the seventies? I was going to vote for Shaft but he wasn't among the choices. So, put my vote on Shaft (if he's from the Seventies).

 

[csiro]

Who are those names on the poll? I don't recognize any of them....

 

[Red Dawn]

Link from the Mod Squad

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

[Cyco]

Gotta go with JJ...DY-NO-MITE!!!

 

[Red Dawn]

Actually wasn't Roots made in the 70's? If it was then Kunta Kinte'(SP) would definately be the most influential Black Character

 

[glen]

Roots was big when it came out.
Really big; I remeber it coming on ABC.
But, this isn't a serious thread either.
Someone remarked that many thread had "Asian" in them, Cars, Food, women, school, etc...
So, this is just sillyness.

Bill Cosby, I had to check, I remembered watching him in the I SPY shows but they were in the 60's. He idd enough in the 70's to still qualify.
