I wonder how many times was he called an Uncle Tom while working hard as a student?
How many times was he accused of not keeping real?
One last question regarding the twinkle in his eye,
... is he gay?

Exactly, that's why the only reason I've heard of the man is because the OP brought him up.

Where are the other contributors kudos? Why him, because he's black? Take a minute and marinate on that.
The title of the thread didn't bother me one bit, it was the very last sentence of the OP. I've learned to read between the lines, so to speak.
Don't make this any more of a race issue than you already have.edit on 5-10-2011 by kimish because: (no reason given)
Sadly but yes because he's black and we live in a society that have the masses thinking one group people built and know everything which is hardly realistic. Why does the OP last sentence bother you?

Excellent point (except for the gay quote, uncalled for). Bill Cosby was called a house 'n-word' and uncle tom for calling blacks out on not taking responsibility for themselves. That kind of relates to this thread... www.abovetopsecret.com...edit on 5-10-2011 by kimish because: (no reason given)

What hurt you soo much that you are attacking me? I was offended because the topic was "a black man didn't get props" not "a man didn't get props". Can you see the difference? Please tell me you can.
I am not racist but I absolutely hate when race is brought into the equation, it is unnecessary. Totally.

I'm not attacking you, I'm trying to understand what have you so offended about this man's race? He's a black man what's wrong with mentioning he's a black man, cos he is black?

Evidently you only read and or hear what you want to. I don't approve of mister Gates because he is discriminatory. Read back to one of the posts I posted earlier and you will find the reason why.
I was against the gay slur, if you read my post and don't cherry pick what you want to read and or hear. I never even brought up the gay comment!

I never accused you of bringing up the gay comment, I was pointing out whatever people may or may not have said about Mister Dean is irrelevant to his accomplishments.

WOW!. I mentioned it before. I am offended because race was brought up to begin with.
marinate on that, sincerely.

Ok, and a point I brought up earlier was that other people have made contributions that were just as important and they don't get recognition and the OP to bring this man up and add last sentence which brought race into the equation bothered me. Now do you see my issue?

Well ok you are the one who needs to marinate because you were the one offended by the mere mentioning of this man being black. Now it seems to me mentioning a person race shouldn't offend anyone but that goes along the logic of people who say they don't see color, it makes no sense when they look at someone.This is not an attack on you but this man's race is apart of him and to pretend it don't exist or that we live in a world where race don't matter to some is not realistic.

If it were a white man who were neglected notoriety and it were brought up that his contributions were not known because he was white... people with your train of thought would be like "it was a white man, what about the asian men, or black men..." , see my point?

No it don't relate to this thread? How does anyone calling someone those names even relate to the discussion at hand? If another black person said something mean about this man it does not relegate his contributions to computer science to the junk pile. Caucasians never said anything negative about Mister Jobs, or Bill Gates? These two men were well liked by all white people? Really? If not did those other white people's comments diminish their contributions to computers? No. So what does Mister Dean sexuality or what other blacks may or may not have said about him have to do with his inventing a computer chip? Nothing.edit on 5-10-2011 by Chai_An because: (no reason given)
