Danny "Little Red" Lopez was/is also Native American, at least mostly

 

Don't really rate Joe Louis or Henry Armstrong, I guess? :blurp

 

I'm not sold on Joe Louis. For the most part, the stories in African American families about being part native are false. I watched this TV show that this article is referring to about Oprah being part of. All 9 black celebrities claimed Native American roots. 7 of those 9 had no Native American DNA at all. Their part Native was actually part European.

I'm not saying that he is definitely not, but I'd like to see some results from some of his family or something before taking it as fact. I don't think the odds are with him.

Here is an excerpt from that article. They have a TV show too.

Some are using DNA to test the oral traditions that African-American families have relied on to transmit their histories. And in a 21st-century update of Alex Haley's 1976 novel Roots, others are seeking to match their DNA to the ethnic groups in Africa to which their ancestors might have belonged.

For black Americans, however, there are some drawbacks. DNA evidence has confirmed some family stories but debunked many others. For example, most of the nine black celebrities who underwent genetic testing for the PBS documentary African American Lives believed they were part Native American.

One of those tested, Oprah Winfrey, 52, says on the program that to many African-Americans in her generation, being "a little Indian" was desirable. The two-part documentary, which began running this week, says genetic testing revealed that only two of the nine celebrities tested — Winfrey and comedian-actor Chris Tucker — likely had Native American ancestors.

The OP didnt mention any *** boxers! :nono

 

Not Native American.
Most of us are Mestizos which is a mix of Native and European decent.
I think towards the South you get more of the actual Natives.
