Why there have been so many the past few days, I'm not sure, but here is one more for you people:

Black Excellence: Victor Glover Makes NASA

Victor J Glover was selected out of 6000 applicants as one of NASA's 2013 astronaut candidates. He is a US Navy Lt Commander, FA-18 pilot, and father of four daughters. OK, he is probably not that young. But young is relative--he's young by my perspective.

Yeah, don't mention race on CD when it's something positive about a black male...only do that when it's negative.

Outstanding!

But I guarantee he's conservative, which means if he speaks out, he'll be excoriated by the black community.

They won't be teaching about HIM in government schools.

Come on now.....Dr. Ben Carson should be the poster child for black Americans everywhere.

But since he talks about obama's failures and the disgrace that has become the black community, he's called an "uncle tom" and an "oreo".
