I think so. He identified with the poor and downtrodden. Had a charismatic nature that affected everyone within reach in a positive way. Yet JC's legacy will forever be co-opted by the prosperous and turned sideways against him.

I'd say that Gandhi and Florence Nightingale come to mind.

I'd say that Gandhi come to mind. Really, you think the racist Gandhi was like Jesus. Despite the image many try to sell of Mahatma Gandhi (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi), he was a racist. A racist is a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another. Gandhi’s writings prove just that. More recently, his writings have created more debate about the man because Professors at the University of Ghana have filed a petition to protest the statue of Mahatma Gandhi on their campus. This petition has also revealed how racist Mahatma Gandhi was towards Africans. His writings clearly show he felt Indian people were superior to Africans and often used the derogatory term ‘kaffir’ to describe Africans to strengthen his case against racism perpetrated towards Indians particularly in South Africa. Gandhi has been described by his critics as an accomplice of colonial subjugation in South Africa. He favored racial segregation that was perpetuated by the colonial government. He even went as far as to support more taxes on impoverished African people and turned a blind eye to the brutality of the Empire on Africans. The Racism of Mahatma GandhiNo wait i am sorry i forgot only white people can be racist my bad.

Cash had no background in carpentry. Reports that he turned water into Jack Daniels are not credible.

I like Johnny Cash a lot, but in my musical pantheon, Igor Stravinsky is God, Frank Zappa is the Messiah, and Todd Rundgren is the Holy Spirit.

I love Todd Rundgren and have all his solo albums and Utopia albums and I think he is very underrated.

You may throw your rock, hide your hand, working in the dark against your fellow man, but as sure as God made black and white what’s done in the dark will be brought to the light...
