1968 : Sidney Poitier was at a press conference, he gets angry
 

…as he said, so many personal achievements he could have been asked about but what they spoke about was his support of the peaceful race riots in 1967….and over 50years later, the media has the same mentality…so it goes on and on…

Shame we lost him in 2022

Sounds like hes somewhat ashamed of his colour.

I had a crush on Sidney when I was a teen.
Fantastic actor and gorgeous with it.

It takes a while but everyone in the public eye eventually realises that the "media" aint interested in you they are interested in how you can make them more important..
