It's either between Martin Luther King or Barack Obama. Martin Luther King civil rights crude helped end legal segregation against blacks in America. Barack Obama was the president of the powerful country in the world for 8 years. He helped end the Great Recession that started in 2008 through pump priming and the Fed use of quantitative easing. One could say he made little or no impact on the world as president(apart from helped ending a recession and usher in a recovery which benefitted other countries). Now with Trump at the helm, one can feel Obama's impact better by not making decisions rather than stupid, daft and incomprehensible decisions that Trump makes 3 Likes |

STILESGANG: No mind kaen1317... I no know whether en dey dream When MJ died, u know what happened? Google, wiki and twitter crashed as millions if not billions of people were rushing to confirm his death.This is well-known in history. U can make research on it Talk of popularity, hardly would u find any man aside Jesus christ and Muhammad who was more popular than MJ, let alone his fellow Musicians. 5 Likes 1 Share |

You mean your forefathers were busy selling themselves into slavery? Because the biggest traders of slaves were black people who were selling their fellow black people as slaves to the Europeans. datigbogirl: 1 Like 1 Share |

I think Michael Jackson is still the most influential worldwide. His prominence wasn't on the wings of black guilt. His influence reached across every border and language. Prolly because of d face surgery. But all is fair in love and war. 3 Likes |

gregyboy: Read his bio. Johnson is half-Black and half-Samoan. His father, Rocky Johnson, is a Black Canadian, and part of the first Black tag team champions in WWE history along with Tony Atlas. His mother is Samoan and the daughter of Peter Maivia, who was also a pro wrestler. Maivia's wife, Lia, was the first female pro wrestling promoter, taking over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband's death in 1982, until 1988. |
