And not one word about the movie that he won the Oscar for "Lillies of the Field" or his seminal race movie "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" with Spencer Tracey and Kate Hepburn. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
wonder if biden will come out with an official statement

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

I’ll give this thread another page before it turns into a full-scale parade of racial comments, epithets and WS. I see from above that’s it’s already begun.

Uptown Saturday Night was the most underrated of his entire body of work.
YR what did your comment have to do with topic of the thread...NOTHING like always. You have the nerve to say radical...what was it that the pot said to kettle??
