Guys,
Here in NJ, there once existed The Capitol Theater in Passaic. This venue hosted the biggest bands in the world (The Stones, The Who, Springsteen, etc.) and had very many special events with appearances by a variety of famous performers.
Back in 1976, The Capitol hosted a bb exhibition with pros getting onstage and posing. It was not a competition but more of a show/exhibition. The crowd was filled with anticipation as a "surprise" guest was rumored for weeks. No, it wasn't Arnold but it was in fact, Dave Draper.
After the show was over, two of my friends waited backstage and out came Sergio who had also appeared on stage. They walked with him down the block and he was very friendly. During the conversation, Sergio looked up at a big billboard advertising the movie "King Kong." This is why I believe it was 1976 as the Jeff Bridges version came out that year. As Sergio looked over the billboard, he looked down at my friends and simply said, "King Kong? I am King Kong!"
I promise to very soon bring over my computer guy to show me how to post pictures and I will be sure to include a picture of my 2 friends standing next to Sergio outside the Capitol Theater circa 1976.

Hes not black, he is hispanic.
-
Hes not black, he is hispanic.
haha wtf
The dude is black, deal with it
-
He's actually Cuban. Im sure you can trace his ancestry back to Africa just like you can with lots of "Cubans". we all have a little negro in us remember?
-
Pics sound cool. Can't wait to see them.
-
Sergio Oliva=Mighty Joe Young
-
Just cause he speaks spanish it doesn't mean shit. Dude is darker than me. He's black.
-
What is the fuking difference black or white?? He was a great athlete.
-
Aquilles speaks Spanish too, is he hispanic?? NO
-
haha wtf
The dude is black, deal with it
I know just being sarcastic since everytime Im in the States people tell me Im not white Im "hispanic" so I was wondering if the same happened with black "latinos".
-
assholes bringing the racism angle into a thread
post the pics dude....good story
-
Hes not black, he is hispanic.
Sergio like myself is a black hispanic, guys please don't be so closed minded. All nationalities come in all shapes and colors. That is like saying all white people are one nationality. Black or white is just your complexion, not your heritage. Great story Harley, can't wait to see the pics.

Epic loser trying to play the race card. No one was being racist. We were speculating on his ancestry.

Why didn't you say so! That's entirely believable! ::)

I bet if BEEFYHEAVYWEIGHT was there he would of said that Sergio told him to pull his pants down and give 'king kong' a banana lol

Actually, I am now 41 years old so I was about 9 years old. I did not attend the show but have 3 friends who did. I am working on getting their photos to post.

I take what people say on here with a grain of salt. LOL! :D
You're about the only member I trust/believe on here because you back up what you say with reliable source(s) and pics.

UMM. DUH... The Cubans were not brought to Cuba they have always been there and therefore have NO TIES TO AFRICA. The same goes for Native Americans (who are also very dark skinned), Haitians, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Central and South Americans etc.

ANOTHER UNEDUCATED REDNECK....
How does it feel having skipped out on school? Makes dealing with the realities of the world so much harder huh? A history lesson is much needed in your life....
-

There's no need nor desire for me to concoct that story. How does it serve me? I do have photos of my friends with Sergio and I already promised to post them next week when my computer guy comes over. I confessed early on to having very little computer acumen. The story is true but everyone is entitled to question something they can't be sure of.

Exactly! You said it right there, dawg!

Hes not black, he is hispanic.
WTF...he is of Afro descent...as I'm of Cuba. That's what you accept 1st in this life. Then...he can start saying the Hispanic (Spanish speaker) or Latino. Many documentaries and literature on this subject for your reading pleasure out there. This board must be full of Dominicians.

Zoe once said she wasnt black, must have gone to Spain and made that comment, because she says part Afro descent now. Be Proud!!!
