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.
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]
Exactly. It’s easy to judge black celebrities through our “woke” lens, and not put into context what they had to do to get by back then.Brehs in here shytting in Sammy Davis Jr.
That man paved the way for many African Americans in more ways than one.
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?
Breh was Michael B Jordan before Michael B Jordan. Being seen enjoying white women’s company is always detrimental for a breh’s career.One photograph taken by Holmes and published in LIFE showed Eckstine with a group of white female admirers, one of whom had her hand on his shoulder and her head on his chest while she laughed. Eckstine's biographer Cary Ginell, wrote of the image that Holmes "...captured a moment of shared exuberance, joy, and affection, unblemished by racial tension."[14]
Holmes would later describe the photograph as the favorite of the many she had taken in her career as it "...told just what the world should be like".[14]
The photograph was considered so controversial that an editor at LIFE sought personal approval from Henry Luce, the magazine's publisher, who said it should be published.[15] The publication of the image caused letters of protest to be written to the magazine, and singer Harry Belafontesubsequently said of the publication that "When that photo hit, in this national publication, it was if a barrier had been broken".[16]
The controversy that resulted from the photograph had a seminal effect on the trajectory of Eckstine's career. Tony Bennett would recall that "It changed everything...Before that, he had a tremendous following...and it just offended the white community", a sentiment shared by pianist Billy Taylor who said that the "coverage and that picture just slammed the door shut for him".[17]
The white man has always been been afraid of black sexuality
It's a fundamental drive behind white racism
