pubic_assistance Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Harry was an interesting character. I know his ex wife, Julie through a good friend of mine, so I've heard many fascinating stories. Such an incredible life they lived. You can't mourn too deeply over a life both; well lived and long lived. You can only feel sad for your own loss. Rest in Peace.

socurious Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Why was he so pro-black if he looked biracial? pubic_assistance, caramelsub, + azdr0710 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubic_assistance Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I don't think you need to BE a dolphin to be concerned about dolphins. "Black" is an identity and a community as much as it is a description of one's skin tone. Anyone from any ancestry doesn't need to be "pure-blood" to feel connections to their heritage.

But in his case he looked ambiguos enough to be seen as just biracial (this at least in Europa of course). I consider the one drop rule racist. But that's another topic.
