That really just kept escalating, huh.
Somebody watched Jeopardy yesterday.
It needs to be clear that the second life does not mean a second wife.
He pretended to be black because he fell in love with a black woman and worried she wouldn’t want to marry a white geologist. He only lied about his race and his job. In every other way he was a committed husband.
It also says something about blackness at the time when a blue-eyed white guy could convince people that he was “black”
Edit:apparently he also lied about his establishment of a trust fund to take care of his wife and children
“Sir this is a Cracker Barrel.”
Now this is a great today I learned.
Double life, double legacy. A respected white scientist by day, a Black husband and father by night in 1901 America. That’s not just wild, that’s revolutionary.
He played second life? Love that game
I don’t break character until the DVD commentary
How do you discover a mountain that is in clear view of a valley that Native Americans have known about for thousands of years?
What in the Rachel “Nkechi Amare Diallo” Dolezal is going on here?
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
LL Cool K
There’s a book about it called *Passing Strange.* Recommended.
Hey, this was a question on Jeopardy today! 🙂
Not to nit pick, but he didn’t discover Mt Whitney. People have been living in the area for thousands of years.
wow!
Not gonna lie, had me in the first half this was a regular TIL.
Hello???? What?
Did you learn it from Jeopardy?
He had blue eyes and fair skin. She must have known he wasn’t a black man, but accepted the lie because she understood that mixed race relationships were illegal and looked down on.
Papa was a rolling stone.
Yeah, and I “discovered” Denali when I visited Alaska last year. I also “invented” this food called nachos as child.
Fun fact: LL Cool J’s real name is James Todd Smith. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I wasn’t there by then, but wikipedia clearly says first ascent was realised by Charles Begole, A.H. Johnson and John Lucas one month earlier before Clarence King even started it.
And then what does he even means by discoverer, this ain’t some kind of mushroom, we talking about a 4500m mountain, it didn’t just popped over night, every single native knew the place before even this guys birth
So then, why didn’t you ink to that part of the article like this :
