hellboy44,

One comment Elvis made years ago about African Americans was that he said (in so many words) was basically "The only good a black man was to him was to shine his shoes". I remember hearing things from my parents, and other family over the years about Elvis's negative remarks towards blacks.

Actually how's this for irony.., I lived next door to Graceland as a child... I'm from Memphis myself. Used to get in trouble for playing on the the large stone wall that surrounded his property
