Gangster Mickey Cohen gave Sammy Davis Jr. 48 hrs to stop pawging, marry black or he'd kill him.Edit:Sydney Sweeney to play Pawg Novak in movie.

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.

Why is it a clown move? Let me guess some super relatable junk? Its not your concern even if its family or friend lol. What you going to do not roll with them no more lol. I don't even date IR but I wish a nikka would tell me about my dating choices.

I remember my grandparents had this thing on the wall that had a picture of Martin Luther King Jr and RFK and JFK... I remembered seeing that same thing on a wall in a movie and I started laughing to myself cause I remembered it from my grandparents' house.

Yep black people liked JFK and his brother back then he was considered a big time liberal. Folks looking at it from todays lenses. But folks have to understand JFK reached out to black america, spoke to MLK and helped pushed ahead civil rights at that time further then they had ever been pushed (up until LBJ). He also didn't do the open dog whistling many politicians did when it came to black folks back then.

Meeting with dr. king or listening to black folks back then was a no no.

But JFK was loved by most americans. Thats also why you have the scene in Malcolm x when Elijah Muhammad says that man was loved by everyone and suspends Malcolm.

Sammy Davis Jr. is a complex figure man.
Immensely talented, pushed extremely hard for acceptance but it appeared he
was a glutton for abuse. Disrespected by mobsters and common white folk alike,
beaten so bad as a child his nose would be remain flatted and distorted until his death
and he never seemed to get the love and respect he deserved from the people who
may have liked his music and performances but ultimately didn't like him.

He was fast and loose pushing social boundaries which has merit but because of this
it somewhat tarnishes Sammy.

In one documentary he talked how when the 60s and 70s came the younger generation felt he was corny and a sell out. His response was that many of the black folks they liked and considered hip and "more" black than him wouldn't have put their career or money on the line for the advancement of black folks.

Which was so true and poetic.

Studio Boss helps "create" Kim Novak. Finds out she's sleeping with Sammy Davis and then calls in gangster Mickey Cohen to resolve it. Sammy use to hide in the car so they wouldnt be seen in public. Once that threat came in he paid an ex 25K to get married

Black woman he married was fine.

Wifey is cold I need a time machine so I can go back and clap those back in the day cheeks

I don’t know much about him, but from the little I do know, dude was on some soft docile shyt. Letting them white dudes bully him and shyt. I could be wrong though cause I never read up on him or anything. But almost every story I heard got something to do with him bowing down, or some white people disrespecting dude

This is what america was like for a lot of black entertainers.

It's a clown move to me because of the history of the last 500 years.
I didn't write the comment seeking your approval. It seems to have offended you but it is what it is.

It highlights my original point about celeb pawgers leaning in that direction due to the indignation of somebody "telling them who to date". The mere idea of a stranger saying that IR is for Bozos has you upset.

 

[Mastamimd]

You lying again. If you type in average height of men in google it clearly says 5’7

It's 5'7" worldwide, just about 5'9" in the US. The Netherlands is the tallest average at 6' ish

This is another great post because it puts things in perspective.
What's hot in the internet streets has been dismissing the struggle of the Civil Rights Movement. as though the victories were inevitable, They were not.

The elders in the neighborhoods we grew up in identified the kids with our heads on straight and they schooled us about how things were, and the struggles and sacrifices that lead to society and laws changing.

They were on the front lines in their own ways, and they told us not to drop the ball or squander what they fought for.

Who said you wrote the comment seeking my approval? Then you double down on stupid shyt lying talking about you saying IR is for bozos has me upset. Damn y'all fragile nikkas hate to have somebody just challenge your takes lol. How can I be upset when I myself don't even do the shyt? Make sense nikka and get out your feelings.

Damn I just read Sammy Davis Jr's story. He did all this to PAWG and marry a white woman (second marriage) then cheat on her with a black woman

He ended up getting addicted to coke, and dabbling in porn and satanism.

Then he found his black queen and married until his death

I say it was just a phase, because he was a token black man in a predominately white industry

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Imagine if Dwayne johnson/the rock was around back then trying to get with white women

He'd change his name to Dean Jameson and pass himself off as some kinda of Italian/hybrid type. No one would know how to insult him.

Guinea/wop? Nikka? Sand nikka?

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Breh Ive been locked multiple time most of the killers, dope boys and drug dealers are around 5'7 to 5 '8. its the average height of a man

Makes sense.

CEO's, athletes etc., are taller than average but killers come in all shapes and sizes. Lot of those special forces brehs are pretty average sized. El Chapo is like 5'6" on a good day.

 

[Rell Lauren]

Need that Sammy Davis biopic

Appreciate ot breh.

Yep a lot of folks online either don't know history or don't care or folks in their family didn't hip them to the history.

I mentioned on here a few times how a large part of my family on both sides were in the civil rights movement. So I remember all the stories they told me. Cause actually IMO their lives were fascinating. They saw WW2, Korean War, Civil rights movement, assassinations of the 60s, vietnam the moon landing and etc. Its like every year of their lives was a historical event.

Well anyway my grandmother who passed at 85 last year was in the march on Washington. I had no idea until she told me last year before she died. She talked about how the march was for jobs (which I know, but a lot of folks online like here don't know that). Their whole point was we pay taxes but have no representation. How you gonna ask me to pay full amount in taxes but them I can be openly discriminated against for a job.

My grandmother who left Mississippi at the age of 18 to move to Chicago for a better way of life. She was a sharecropper with her parents in Mississippi and had to drop out of school in 6th grade to help her parents sharecrop the land. She left and went to Chicago and was a maid for white folks all while being shut out of jobs due to racism and lack of education.

Its just stories like that...makes me appreciate the sacrifices my elders and other black elders made so I can have the life I live now. I can't thank them elders enough and sadly can never repay them.
