He must've qualified under the 1 drop rule. ;-). Seriously, most of those pilots appear to have a good bit of Euro blood in them (in those old photos). That's where they derived the intelligence to fly those planes.

The ads I've seen here and there for the movie seem to have pretty much dark Negroes as actors. I'm not going to see the movie to find out for sure. Maybe someone else on CF is willing to endure it and give a report.

Check out this surviving Tuskegee airman. He looks to be about 1/32 "black."

Just looks like an old White guy to me. However, by reading his quotes you'd think he'd look like Morgan Freeman. He's got so much pride in his "heritage". Too bad he's rejected his real one. Too bad if he ever stepped foot in the hood his "brothas" would rob his old "cracka" ass. I doubt they'd realize they were in the presence of an African American "hero".

Foolish wigger.
