[edit] Picture

This screenshot is not from the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast...it is a screenshot from "Sanford and Son", from the episode "My Fair Esther". TamYum 18:15, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indian

Why do they keep listing him as black n Indian.. If he's "red" then he also has white blood. Yall must have never seen somebody who is mixed with black n Indian.. they are very dark. I met many redbones who claim indian but not white some having green eyes..what's wrong with them?? or it just ignorance in the African American community? i'm one who does claim my white blood. rose

[edit] CALL A SPADE A SPADE

His big long nose suggests to me that he was part-Caucasian. He does not appear to be a "black" person to me. GhostofSuperslum 02:44, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Does that make any sense to anybody here? 70.189.70.163 17:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, no. If all these people who are insisting that every notable African American actually isn't/wasn't, it seems like all that Jim Crow stuff was a waste of EVERYONE's time. (And BTW some of us don't appreciate the "spade" reference so much.) It's all about the nose, is it? Geez, have you ever seen a picture of George Lincoln Rockwell? His broad, flat nose suggests to me that he was part-African-American. He does not appear to be a "white" person to me! Carlaclaws 08:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Few Black-Americans...

...have 100% "African" blood/genes. I specifically did not use the term "African-American". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.175.185.72 (talk) 00:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC).
