I'm calling bullshyt on her comments. She married a white guy because black men didn't want her in 50/60s?
Millions of black men across the country sweated Eartha (Hell, she would have got an appreciation thread if the Coli were around then). And she's a star so lets eliminate the dusty and broke nikkas from back then, there weren't no good well to do brothers in the 50s/60s you fukked with? The truth is probably Eartha wanted the one black man every other woman wanted and Harry knew it. Probably smashed and dashed and she wanted more, probably hit her with some cold pimp game and bounced. And I am realistic dude maybe Harry did say that shyt, so your only option after him is white dudes? She wanted to be with a white guy and that comment was to justify it.
I do not believe Eartha couldn't find a good black men in the 50/60s
