Very true...I can think of another example like that.... http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/media_content/m-1323.jpg Walter White served as the chief secretary of the NAACP for more than 25 years....few people black or white (or asian/latino for that matter) in today's world would call him a black man....oddly enough....that is what he called himself...in a time when being a black male and being a dead man were often synonymous
this is like a reversal of the dave chapelle skit..where he parades around town as a white guy..totally oblivious to the fact that he's black.. it depends on his parents.. if he had a dark-skinned parent, whom he loved dearly, I would see why he would take that particular side...out of respect.. but seriously..I wouldn't even call that guy black, lol that guy probably never even had the privilege of being called the N word -EndSarcasm
