On their first US tour, The Beatles refused to play before segregated audiences. It was in their contract. Elvis was a piece of shit.

Also, Elvis doesn’t seem to be ashamed or care. I guess he felt he was entitled; that’s so sad.

I'm surprised they didn't have a window in the back so that the black people couldn't go inside. That was common across the south.

To be fair, this is not on Elvis. Product of his times. Also, white privilege not just males

"To be fair". I'm not saying he has to stand up for her, but that's not an excuse. We'd still be in the middle ages if people didn't speak up for others, even if it wasn't the social norm. This is how change happens.
