Infinite; Is a man who speaks good but contradicts his good words with evil acts a good man?For example, If I say I'm going to devise a plan to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless but do not act on it, should I be considered great?

It depends on if he sincerely intended on doing the action or not. If he intended on doing it, but something out of his control prevented him from accomplishing it, then he still deserves to be rewarded. If your question is in response to the Martin Luther thing, I don't have a position on him personally, I was just stimulating the debate.
I mean, if I don't do it by choice. Not if I tried but failed because powers stronger than me kept me down. I mean if I say somethign great but do not act.Eminem, Great Man? I don't think so. I think he's a talented rapper and strong willed but not great as a human or a leader. He doesn't lead anyone in a way that matters. He went through this period a couple years ago where what he said was gospel to most white kids and he purposely chose not to capitolize on that influence in a positive way, in order to protect his rap career finacially. Moby called him on it in a very polite way and Em threatened him. Let's not even get into how bad his childhood really was. Em is a strong willed artist, but he is a weak weak man when it comes to moral fibre and integrity. I'll follow George Bush into war before I'll follow Marshal Mathers.
greatest white leader of the young century

And as for your previous question, if someone says something good and does the opposite on purpose, that's doesn't sound like the description of a great person.
And as for the great words but no action leading to a non-great man; by that same token isn't a man who speaks wrongfully but acts otherwise a non-evil man?
