Wasn't This a Chappelle Sketch?
Okay, not quite the Clayton Bigsby sketch:
The Guardian has an interesting article on a racist American Facist, who was passing.
Lawrence Dennis was, arguably, the brains behind American fascism. He attended the Nuremberg rallies, had a personal audience with Mussolini, and met Nazi leaders; throughout the 1930s he provided the intellectual ballast for America's bourgeoning pro-fascist movement. But though his work was well known and well appreciated by the intelligentsia and political elites on both sides of the Atlantic, there was one crucial fact about him that has never emerged until now: he was black.Fascinating stuff.
Read the article in The Guardian "The fascist who 'passed' for white."
