Well, as I’m going through this new U2 CD for the first time (seems good, but I’m on laptop speakers), it seems like a good time for me to break out my Mount Rushmore of cool white dudes. Additions, edits, and criticisms are welcome. They list goes as follows…
4. Robert DeNiro – Should you not believe me, ask your wife. Especially if you’re black. She might have a story to tell.
3. Victor Newman – Yes, I used to watch The Young and the Restless. There’s no shame because there has Victor Newman is the man I’d love to be. But, he married his stripper. That’s general not the best move, but it worked decently for him. But look….the man was so cool that he made a blind woman think he was the greatest. She left him, and he just kept on truckin’ and got another. And really, why has no rapper referred to himself as Victor Newman?
2. Frank Sinatra – Do I need to explain that? If so, just download “My Way.” While we praise Puff for “Vote or Die,” Francis might have had an election fixed. That there is juice. And that voice is no joke.
1. Ric Flair – It’s all about the Nature Boy. What’s your favorite Natch line? I’m taking, “if you don’t like it, learn to love it…cuz it’s the best thing goin’ today! Whooooo!” Never once was he spotted with an ugly woman. Easily the greatest export of the Cackalackys.
Honorable mention – K. Deming. Just because.

Well, I don’t know about BC’s honorary brotha status . . .unless induction into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame counts, LOL!
Here’s the story:

Awww Man, I love the “White Men Brothas Respect” list.
Ric Flair was the first to jump sharp before he had to compete. Pinky rings, armani suits and this was what 198-damn-4….He was the dirtiest player in the game, but we love the stylin’ and profilin’…Also predated Cam’ron by wearing pink ring attire, and still kicked folks asses.
Victor Newman, all he did was pimp a landlord who wouldn’t let him on his property by BUYING the building. How real is that.
Bono gets some honorable mention…he’s the only guy i know that can rock safety goggles and make them look cool…Al Pacino also, but not “Scent of a Woman” Pacino, Dog Day Afternoon/Scarface/Godfather I & II Pacino…

No Jack Nicholson?…I love him…or his acting since I dont know anything about him personally….If you start nominating white females ….Bette Midler is great….I could go on….but I wont

Bill “depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is” Clinton
Johnny Cash
Frank Sinatra
Carlton Banks

You gotta show some love for Pacino, especially in Carlito’s Way–If you turned your head for a minute, you could have easily mistaken him for a brotha. Especially when he kicked Benny Blanco’s ass or right before he pushed him down the stairs-What did Carlito say? “You don’t know me, you a punk, I know made people”
by Kirk
That Carlton Banks thing was funny as hell. Personally, I’d add Clint Eastwood since the guy is a thousand years old and I still fully believe he could whip my ass in a fair fight.

I don’t think Bill makes this list…
Bill displays too many “black tendencies” to be considered … Question: Does Slick Willie have honorary brotha status in some way?
by J.R.
Bill Clinton, James Bond, and my boy Scott from Glen Burnie, MD
by Kirk
I think we need to be clear about which James Bond we’re talking about.
Timothy Dalton: Hell No.
Pierce Brosnan: Maybe
Roger Moore: Probably, but may be disqualified for nailing Grace Jones
Sean Connery: Do I really need to comment on this?
by Ben
Hugh Hefner. I don’t know how I forgot about him.
by Fred Batiste, A Weapon of Mass Destruction
Sean Connery was the baddest of the bonds…especially how he said Pussy Galore’s name…
Hef, hmmm… well anyone who operates a skin mag, yet alone the most popular one, gets respect from all men..so he’s not really on the list.
Carlton Banks, y’all gotta be kidding me…if that’s the case what about Trivett from Walker, Texas Ranger as well!!!!!
by Kirk
Fred, couldn’t have said it better myself. I’d also like to nominate Indiana Jones. He might be a fictional character, but all the man does is go find cool shit and shoot/drown/stab/blow up Nazis. What’s not to like?
