Above the fray.
Sammy was a sell out to me
I haven't watched the video and won't, but PLENTY of prominent Black men publicly dated white women as a way to challenge what white men said that they couldn't do. If that's the reason you consider Sammy to be a sellout, boxer Jack Johnson and several other men would be on that list too.

I think going out with white women is a clown move, but unless it's family or friend not my concern.

I wouldn’t call anyone a sellout based on their dating preference. But Sammy didn’t seem like the defiant rebel type from what I know of his personality. I mean, he bowed down and got with a black women when threatened so I don’t think he was trying troll white people.

Sheesh. She is bad AF and clearly some of her DNA was used later on to cobbled up Halle Berry in the laboratory.

But LMAO @ Sammy. Breh looks like it’s taking an entire car battery worth of energy just to pose with his wife.

That's according to whoever is telling the story. Mobsters cheat,lie,steal, and kill for a living so I give as much credibility to his take on this as I do with crack era gangster telling stories.

Like I said, white men put their women on a pedestal and lynched Black men on whims and rumors of them violating them. Black male celebs viewed publicly dating white women as an act of defiance.

I don’t disagree with your points. But when focusing specifically on Sammy Davis Jr, I tend to believe this wasn’t the case. I don’t know for sure of course, and I’m not a Sammy Davis historian but nothing I’ve read or heard about him before have me think he was on some antagonizer of the white man shyt. He seemed hella friendly with them. I’m not a Jack Johnson historian either, but from what I do know about his personality, that didn’t seem far fetched. But for Sammy...

This is from Wiki. From this account, seem like he damn near had a nervous breakdown and just wanted to get back to pawging lol. I think he had a genuine love for pawgs


Davis briefly married black dancer Loray White in 1958 to protect himself from mob violence;[55]Davis had previously dated White, who was 23 and twice divorced and had a six-year-old child.[7] He paid her a lump sum - $10,000 or $25,000 - to engage in a marriage on the condition that it would be dissolved before the end of the year.[7][55] Davis became inebriated at the wedding and attempted to strangle White en route to their wedding suite. Checking on him later, Silber found Davis with a gun to his head. Davis despairingly said to Silber, "Why won't they let me live my life?" The couple never lived together[7] and commenced divorce proceedings in September 1958.[55][58] The divorce was granted in April 1959.[59]
