Race to Judgement
I was last night years old when I learned that former FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover, was African American. This wasn't breaking news as there was quite a bit of it on the google. I had been watching an interview with Judge Joe Brown about the MLK assassination, and the Judge threw it out there, I guess in the context of what a dick Hoover was to King and isn't it ironic. Hoover was hard on pretty much everybody from King's to Klan's to Kennedy's. Everybody but the mafia. The story there was the mob had intimate audio of Hoover and his boyfriend, as well as possible film of an encounter they had in a mob night club. I believe it was the Copacabana- the hottest spot north of Havana. That I had heard of for years. Judge Joe's mention was about Hoover passing for white, fooling most everyone but the Klan as they ran his family out of Louisiana when he was a boy. He was pretty hard on the Klan as a result of that. Secretly black and secretly gay explains a lot about...
