Lightbulb, I hate to break this to you but Elvis WAS a racist jerk. My father (who is now 68) was a blues musician from Mississippi and had more than a few run-ins with him.
If you like, I can ask him to tell me ALL those stories again, write them ALL down and email them to you.
Anyone can claim anything they want on the internet, and that's fine. But I'll stick to verified sources, which tend to disagree. Thanks just the same, though.
I'm not a fan of Elvis's music, for the record, so I'm not interested in defending him in any case, and I could care less what anyone thinks of him. I simply don't like to see misinformation circulating - especially misinformation that can be disproved with no effort whatsoever (say, 3 seconds of your time and a google search). If you're willing to believe the worst about someone, you should be willing to perform due diligence - I try to live by that.
