Remember Doug Wilder, the first black gov. of Virginia? To me he was totally white looking. I was shocked when I finally saw a picture of him.

How did you know he was white looking if you hadn't seen a picture of him?

But anyway, meet Congressman Butterfield:

And of course there was Walter White of the NAACP:

And Adam Clayton Powell IV:

Sorry, what I said was unclear. I had heard of Doug Wilder and knew he was gov (first black gov!!!) of VA, but I never saw a picture of him for quite a while after he was elected. I wasn’t the political junkie then that I am today.

I couldn’t see your pic of ACP IV so I google him, yeah he basically looks like a guido from Brooklyn. It’s hard to tell from the sepia pic, but those other guys look pretty white too. Esp. Butterfield, I mean his skin is quite fair, he’s like an Irishman, with the light skin and the dark hair. Like my dad actually, and my dad had curly hair, I guess my dad was more of a black man that this guy.
