I don't think that was true but I don't know anything about him so I thought I better ask instead.

Most unlikely! he was raised in Toopaloo along side share cropper by his family.. decrised a white singer singing Blackfolk songs. he expressed a kinship to singers he worked with was "Hollywood made movie star" not that much intergration at time?he liked all music of region preferably gospel!

I seem to remember my Grandma (who's a pretty big elvis fan and was around during his day) saying that he use to put black shoe polish in his hair to make it really dark, b/c he liked the way it looked on black people, and i think i also remember her telling me he had some black lineage in his family but that his ancestors hid it b/c of the racism back then. So most likely he was not racist.

From what I remember, Elvis was a very respectable man who was never unknowingly racist. I have never heard of him being so.

he was a hypocrit. nixon gave him a badge to help fight against drugs and when elvis died he had at least 13 drug in his system. elvis "collected" fbi and secret service badges. watched it on history channel with tom brokaws 1960. it was pretty interesting

It really doesn't matter one way or the other now. He is dead and buried. His name lives on and it would be a shame for people to speculate about him. Let him rest in peace.

He stole songs and dance moves from Black people and failed to credit them. So that's a yes for me.
