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.

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.

You really think Sammy Davis a nikka who ran in white circles and had a white crew was dating white broads to be defiant ?

Nikkas in the 50s and early 60s were docile as fukk unless they were NOI....

Sammy Davis lived through some shyt. Sinatra was his friend but whenever they used to perform together, sammy had to use the back door to enter while sinatra used the front entrance.


He was the most talented out of everyone.....he tried so hard to be accepted...tap dancin n all.


In his interview with Ali, he states that back then the black community didn't respect him because he gave nothing back to the community..he was too busy with white validation....and he's finally realized it.




lol when he's with the whites, he gets treated like a mascot.

Yep I mentioned this story many times on this site. Especially when it came to Bill Cosby and the rap allegations.

I mentioned this even before Chapelle did the cosby joke.

Basically I was saying how could cosby be running around raping white female movie stars in hollywood. When hollywood mobsters were gonna kill sammie for being seen with a white star in Hollywood in the 60s.

But cosby raping white women in the 70s in hollywood and no one said shyt? Either the shyt lies or Cosby was a double agent working for the FBI/CIA.

Very good point.
Never thought of it

Sammy put in real civil rights work though at a time where nikkaz had no civil rights and black man could be lynched on the sport anywhere

how you gonna them nikkaz docile when you nikkaz refuse to come up under far less pressure, yall crying about george floyd, shyttttttttttttttttt, george floyds was happening like clockwork all day everyday back then

what have you ever stood up to, what have you ever risked for anyone other than yourself

Sammy was a little frail dude about 5-5 and 130 pounds. He was basically MJ in that he grew up as a child as an entertainer. He was a traveling entertainer when most kids were in 2nd grade. So he grew up performing and also since he didn't have a childhood he was really a soft hearted person overall and especially to everyone. Thats why his childhood parallels MJs.

Second he was drafted in WW2 in an integrated camp. The much bigger white racist soldiers would beat him up due to being so small and unable to defend himself. He would get beaten up so bad that his nose was broken 4 times. Thats why his nose was so flat.

One of the high ranking military folks noticed that he could dance and sing well. So they asked him to perform for the troops. He noticed that many of the same racists that would harrass him and beat him up. Where now chearing him on.

This is when he realized his calling that entertaining was in his blood. And that he could navigate in this world even with racism due to his god given abilities. No more different than countless black athletes before Sammie, during Sammies time and after his time.

Last it wouldn't be wise to criticize sammie cause how docile or small he was. This is a black man who marched with folks like MLK. Who spend hundreds of thousands of his own money (which would be millions in todays money) to bail MLK out of Jail and fund the civil rights movement. Cause of his finacial support (and other black folks like him) folks like you and I can live where we want, date who we want, go to what school we want and work where we want.

Oh and a little bit about sammie. There was one performance he did where they wrote him a check (can't remember the amount maybe 20 or 30k) for the performance. He takes the entire check and sends it to MLK to get him and other civil right workers out of jail.

Sammie, Belafonte and dikk Gregory often times get overlooked in how these black folks sacrificed their careers and money and put their lives on the line for black folks and future black generations. All at the height of their careers. When they could have said the hell with it and counted their riches (like many of the clowns we see today).

stuff like this is the reason why i dont really go in on old black hollywood celebs like that for whatever flaw they had(unless they was on some extra foul shyt)

sammys story should be learned from and respected as others

if they were as docile as you say we wouldnt have had the civil rights movement

 

[KidJSoul]

This breh, Billy Eckstine was at one point a bigger star than Frank Sinatra

Dude wasn't even pawging, but this picture with three white female fans completely ruined his career

Can you give details?

 

[CHICAGO]

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.

Not true at all hell Malcom was fukking with white women before he joined the NOI.
he did it to get at white society

 

[Will Ross]

The thing is a lot of those old hollywood era black female celebrities were going after white dudes too

Just like now a lot of black women in Hollywood date white men but it never gets talked about.

 

[Still Benefited]

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

Normally I would say its not fair for a black man in this era to call a black man of that era docile imo.
But if you were brave enough to pawg back in that time,you should have been bold enough to stand up for yourself and not take shyt off these crackas to a certain extent at least.
