Stompin' at the Savoy - Bill and Dorothy p3 of 3

[BonitaApplebum1]

I think that Bill Jeremy made that statement because in that time people of Italian or Jewish background were not considered "white". They were discriminated against as well. I remember reading in a Bio about Sinatra, how they wanted to give him a more all american name because Sinatra sounded too "ethinic" i guess...the same goes for pearl bailey's husband who was italian. born Luigi Balassoni was changed to Louie Bellson....so that was my interpretation...

[chaliceofchange]

Yes I have to agree with you on this on

[LaReginaPatrizia]

I think that when he said he was colored he meant that he i was now considered colored because he was dating a colored woman.

Thank God we've come a LONG way from this bullshit. I never heard about this film and I'm trying to find it online but I can't.

[CerezaAmor1987]

@andyrooney11 absolutely. Fear is an ugly thing.

[ThePoinciana]

italians, Turks and some Jews could pass for colored back then, i thought Ahmed Ertgun was black LOL

[CerezaAmor1987]

@ThePoinciana ITA with everything you said, esp. about Ahmed.

[AhTrini4U]

I didn't understand why she didn't go with him.

[SParkApCider]

[suniignair]

hi

i would like to watch the full movie

thanks

[ChrisAmericaUSA]

I love the "CALGON" moment when she breaks down from her no good mooching sister is at home boozing it up and partying at her expense. It was stone cold!

[laphatty1]

I cried when she gave him up and when she had her breakdown

[CerezaAmor1987]

@laphatty1 it was sad~

[megpruden20]

The ending was so sad, it just goes to show how disgusting racsim is.

[lilkc7]

man... u needs to post the whole thing plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[ChrisAmericaUSA]

If you ask most blacks, including myself, we are persons of color....so I am colored...and not African American.....my mixed heritage doesnt take into account that my mom is half white and my grandpappy is white (German).

[laphatty1]

yeah i feel you on that comment, I am of color but i'm of mixed race. I'm of native american/african on my mother side and el salvdorian on my father side. I'm just fairly dark.

[laphatty1]

I agree with you. Why am i consider black when my skin aint black. I'm of mixed race.

[KelleyLi]

one drop rule from the south from slavery/post slavery days.

[rachybaby72]

Loved this movie. But ever since I've seen it I've always wondered about this scene...did he just lie about being black to make Dorothy feel more comfortable around her friends? Or is he completely white. Does anyone know?

[CerezaAmor1987]

he didn't say he was black...he said he was colored

[rachybaby72]

"Coloured" is the 1930's lexicon for black. My dilemna was, does anyone know why he said he was black/coloured. I don't remember him alluding to being coloured anywhere else in the movie.

[Mikizzle15]

I kinda thought that it meant that he was Jewish. And you know how Jewish people were considered colored.

[LadyJey89]

anyone not white european is colored.

[9507kirtGIRL]

He lied about being colored, which also meant black back then, just to fit in and make her comfortable. In other countries ( like South Africa)the word coloured means a racial mix.

[rachybaby72]

Yes, I know about the whole "coloured", "black" thing. The only thing that I wasn't clear on was whether he lied or not...I thought I had may had missed somewhere earlier on in the movie where he might have said he was coloured. Thanks.

[opheliaroxs17]

@rachybaby72 good question. I've been wondering that too.

[Ari721]
