“I always heard whispers about Dinah Shore.”

Oh yes, I’ve heard that too.

But who is Dickey Lee?

Geez, I don’t even know the old time celebrities!

Interesting Observation. You could be on to something.

[MeshugeMikey]

Why is it even an issue? Music performance and acting are areas where blacks do really well.
Can't get roles? Well, ask super-liberal Hollywood why they so rarely put blacks in leading roles.

Who are these people???

One of the more unusual ones I heard when I was a teenager was someone telling me Dickey Lee’s father was black.

Are you referring to the recording star?

"I was born a poor black child." You and Navin R. Johnson.

In the original routine, he heard his first Mantovani record, and that's when he decided to become white.

[Third Person]

We are all Michael Brown

[Blood of Tyrants]

Never heard of any of them except Mariah Carey.

I trace my heritage back to Adam and Eve too. Not from “Lucy Australopithecus afarensis” of the African Rift.
