    How about just short list with notable I.T. contributions?:

    Dr. Martin Dean, holds 3 of the 9 IBM PC patents

    Kenneth Dunkley - inventor of 3D viewing glasses and holographic displays

    Dr. Philip Emeagwali - Gordon Bell prize for computation, in 1989 invented fastest (at the time) supercomputer wiht 65K processing nodes

    Dr. Shirley Jackson, a theoretical physicist and inventor at Bell labs who made the improvements that resulted in the usable versions of the fax, undersea fiber optic systems, touch tone phone, solar cell, caller id and call waiting.

    Valerie Thomas - head of NASA's Landsat development team, inventor of data imaging systems

    Then the question becomes... does the 0.0001% of blacks who made amazing contributions offset the slang, thug culture, gangsta rap, anti-intellectualism, violence, crime, drug use, children out of wedlock, welfare recipients, and underachievement of mainstream black culture in America?
