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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[LadyJey89]

anyone not white european is colored.
