Proof? There's little proof in opinions about history. But while I chew on that....
Many people are brilliant and wrong. I think we should get a military historian to tell us how a few brilliant people were wrong and got the asses handed to them. Brilliance is often wrong. Think about the Third Reich. Smart guys all. They were wrong.
I can accept that some of the black leaders meet the criteria. But recently they certainly haven't been [[civicly) rich.
