He refused to perform at hotels where no blacks were allowed... Sammy Davis Jr. also backed this up...
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis also took this same stance.
white’s were so twisted, comfortable watching a black man perform in front of them but not comfortable sharing an audience with black ppl... how could they possibly justify?

Frank Sinatra was the reason Vegas was desegregated... that’s how powerful he was
Not saying I don't believe you. But could you please elaborate on that a little more?
Frank Sinatra was for himself and used people and things to his advantage in making money. He only got acting jobs from the help of the mafia. Not a saint in my eyes.
@@Mav_F nobody is a Saint though.
@@Mav_F bruh wait how you know he got that from the mafia?

@COCKSUCKA COMMANDA V2.™️ lol, relax. Don't use the term enlightenment so loosely. But he was a good man, for not following the crowd and being racist.
@@mediocreman6323 You think? It also helps when you're famous. It helps when you're rich. It helps when they've already sold tickets. And on and on. Yet you don't here these stories about any of the other people with connections and power who had the opportunity to make a difference, because they didn't DO what he did.
@@audibletapehiss3764 Frank using his influence and connections for good
This seems interesting, if only i could hear what he was saying
belofonte, lena horne (black entertainers)......they couldnt go in the casino and They had to sleep at the black only hotels and when Quincy and the bands went there Frank said "we're not gonna have that" After that its inaudible. So Frank basically set up each black member of the band with a bodyguard and said if anyone even looks at them funny he's going to break their legs. Then Quincy said Frank was tough, he stopped racism in Vegas.
@@michaelmachupa3854 the part that you think was inaudible he says "he says the manager wants to see you over by the slot machines
Exactly
@@DonnieDaise yes
@@DonnieDaise yes
When Nat Cole was attacked onstage by racists in Alabama 1956,
Frank arranged for a plane to fly him and his band back to New
York, and safety. When he died in 1965 of cancer, Frank had his own
signet ring placed on Nat's finger before the casket was closed.
He was also a pallbearer at his funeral. Frank never went to
funerals, so this shows his true feelings for Nat.

That's really cool that someone as powerful as Frank used his juice to fight racism back then. Kudos to the chairman.
It really is but the problem isn't over yet.
Sadly nor will it ever be, ( thanks to free will) but the type of racism we deal with today is in a whole different ballpark and much less horrific. One good thing we can do is honestly talk to those injected with racism and try to understand what’s wrong with them on a more personal level. thanks to those brave individuals who said these things when it was less popular to do so. They could have lost a good bit of money doing it, too!
Well back then they didn’t do it for financial gain or social media fame... it was genuine
@Mighty Megatron Sure, but we are much further along than before. Progress keeps happening despite white supremacist efforts to keep things where they were. 2020 is not even remotely like 1950 or 1960, per se. But, as I noted and on that point you agree: The problem remains. The progressives for racial equity are winning it's just a long war.
Nowadays they'd call the rat pack racist for only having one black guy
So good, someone in a position like his had the fucking balls in those days.
Yeah and its not like he was doing it to please some big audience he just knew it was right
@@SPACEHARICE Amen to Frank Sinatra!

You could also say he could do this because he had that power. Without him, the Vegas couldn't have the great entertainment that they offerred.
This is so inaudible even RUclips can’t figure out the captions.
@Nagger bro calm your tits the guy is just telling a joke 🤨

correct someone tell it kindly no need to be rude🙄

Thats not saying much.
I think he punched out a guy twice his size for refusing to serve one of his black friends. Also a journalist for calling one of his bandmates something anti-semetic, not once, but two times, while having a drink in-between.
Frank never hit anybody. He had his bodyguards do it.

Frank Sinatra was the first entertainer to take a public stand on segregation in Michigan back in the 1940's.
My grandmother love Frank Sinatra he stood up was a good man in from Sicily K my grammar came to this country illegal as she was from Sicily Lucky Luciano signed the papers he was a good man straight up like I said I did it my way
You can count him and all of the rat pack, they were all like Frank and didn’t play game when it came to segregating fellow entertainers cause of skin color

From what I remember reading in a biography about Sinatra, the rat pack had a few shows slated for a couple of casinos in Utah. One casino owner told Frank that Sammy would not even be allowed in the building, much less perform. Frank responded with, if Sammy doesn't get to perform, then none of us will. And you (the casino owner) will have to refund all those tickets and deal with the fallout. Needless to say, the entire rat pack ended up going through with their performance, including Sammy. One of the many reasons this man has been my idol both on and off stage since I was a teenager.
Personally, my petty ass would have made him refund everything and booked a new show. Run that place into the fucking ground overnight
Frank was ahead of his time socially and an icon of his time artistically. He seemed to also be secular. Legend.
non-secular would mean involving religion, but from context it seems you meant to say secular.
@@grapejuiceguru You are correct. My mistake!
@@versatilejams No worries! Things like that can be odd, like “inflammable” means the same thing as “flammable” lol
@@grapejuiceguru wow I thought they had different definitions
@@pierresihite8854 me too, just from reading it

@@MagicMikey1 WOW
Marilyn Monroe did a similar thing for Ella Fitzgerald in Hollywood
She did! The Mocambo club wouldn’t book Ella Fitzgerald to play there. Marilyn Monroe, being a big fan, contacted the owner and said if he books Fitzgerald she will come thereevery night and that will attract a huge crowd. They did and the two became close friends.

In 1958, when I was fifteen and just becoming a Sinatra fan, I came across a quotation of his that has stayed with me for my entire life: “Every race produces big strong men and guys like me.” He made the statement in the late 1940s while speaking to pupils at a high school in New Jersey which had been torn by racial problems.
Great quote, true
Did he say what "guys like me" was? I would love to know his own thoughts on the matter.
He also said "If you see your brother on his knees, why
not give him a helping hand?"
What a great quote!

Back when racism was unfortunately a normal thing, Frank had balls to stand against it. A lot of celebrities now are only hopping on the band wagon because it’s the popular thing to do and they have nothing to lose, if they were alive 60 years ago they wouldn’t have done shit
Right, too bad it’s becoming normalized again
@@torin9156 when you're fighting something that's already been put down to a very small amount and unacceptable to the majority you unintentionally bring it back to life. Modern Celebrities are just bringing back pre 1964 America through cry wolf stories and making "fighting nazis" popular.
@@alect5953 you think racism only exists at a very small amount?
@@torin9156 read what I said dumbass. Liberal celebrities and their low iq knuckle dragging woke crowd of college liberals are bringing something that has been brought down to a small amount. Shit the Democrats old weapon The Klan literally has 1500 members nation wide. That means there's groups of 25 or less in each state and nobody gives a shit about them backwoods hicks except for dumb city dwelling liberals and dumbass celebrities.
@@alect5953 ok
Vince Lombardi, in his own way, was fair-minded about race as well. He was the first NFL coach to draft black football players to his team. One of them had been dating a white woman and wanted to marry her, but he was nervous about asking Lombardi's permission (back in those days, it was a formality to ask your employer for permission to marry someone regardless of race. Something to do with rearranging their tax status or something). So he walks into Lombardi's office and asks, to which his coach said yes. The player was ecstatic.
The league commissioner at the time, Pete Rozelle, found out and called up Lombardi personally to ask him what the hell he was doing. Lombardi's response:
"It's my damn team, and I will run it however I want to."
Sinatra and Lombardi, two amazing men who stood against bigots everywhere.
Great story.
Frank was the best man for Sammy in 1960 to
his Swedish wife.
The KKK burnt an effigy of Frank as a direct result.
What a fucking hero. You mean, he did what we are SUPPOSED to do??
You wouldn’t of done it in that era. You probably would have lost your job. Stop acting all high and mighty as if you would have made active stances against racism in a time when racism was mainstream and accepted. You probably would have been among the status quo.
@@useyournogos6845 Amen. When everyone thinks they'd be the exception, they're probably the rule. Everyone imagines they'd be the brave soldiers liberating the concentration camps - but most (present company included) might very well have been the prison guards.
Lionel Aldridge was the Packers player you're referring to.
A cool man black or white. Rip frank and all of the great black and white entertainers who were decent with each other
I heard a story that Sammy Davis JR was not allowed to enter through the front door of a casino in Las Vegas because of his skin color, he had to use the back entrance . Frank said if he can't use the front door than neither will we, the Rat Pack and they all agreed. I'm not sure if that story is true but I like to think it is. Frank was bad ass
Its true. Mr. Sinatra is responsible for integrating las Vegas.
I'm confirming that this story is absolutely true. I've read several biographies of Sinatra's life. One of the best, because of its exhaustive and original research, is "Sinatra: The Life" by Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan, and this biography details many of Sinatra's efforts to fight racism, bigotry, and anti-Semitism, and includes this story.
The Rat Pack played benefits for Martin Luther King Jnr in
the early 60s. Tina Sinatra said the only time she saw her
father cry in front of her, was when he heard MLK had been
assassinated. That says it all.
Sinatra said that the Rat Pack wouldn’t play there if Sammy wasn’t allowed to enter through the front door.
I heard a similar story relating to Jack Benny and his cast member Eddie Anderson. Jack refused to do business with them if they were going to refuse Eddie.
I read a story that he took a black singer (maybe Lena Horne; not sure) to a whites-only club. The doorman didn't know what to do. He couldn't allow her in and he couldn't say no to Frank Sinatra. He sputters and mumbles and says "Well, who made the reservation?" and Sinatra says "Abraham Lincoln". I believe it is a true story but I don't know how it worked out. I imagine they were allowed in.
That’s badass.
👍 😊
Frank Was a true human being. Color did not matter to him hearts did. What would he think of all these Trump racist coming out now? Pray for this country people. Evil is real.
@@conchitanelson4305 I think he would despise the people that back the party who founded the klan and imposed Jim Crow laws.

I never thought much of Frank Sinatra but after seeing this video and other incidents people speak of in the comments section- Sinatra was a fucking legend. He was ahead of his time but could have easily kept himself safe and not challenged the status quo of the time. He spoke up for those who couldn't speak.
I heard Sinatra sing for the first time about seven years ago. I was really blown away by his voice. Tony Bennett also stood up for people of color. It took real courage to do that in the 40's and 50's.
Tony Bennett literally risked his life to perform at one of Dr King's "freedom marches" in the South, as did Joey Heatherton (her biggest hit was "These Boots Were Made For Walking."). Just wanted to add a little detail to this excellent comment 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@tonyjones1560 Hi Tony, I didn't know that. I'll have to read up on it. Thanks for the history lesson.
@@dhh488 You're welcome. If memory serves, there's some old, grainy video of Tony Bennett, maybe Ms. Heatherton as well.

The comments I'm reading here are better than the video. Great read!!!! Frank has always had a lot of respect in the Black community back in my father's generation, but I'm afraid it's being forgotten by the Hip-Hop generation.....
Many things a cyclical and anti-racism is coming back with a bang, even though it should have never left.
@@standalone2358 As the young kids on Twitter....TRUTH!!!!
I really hope it’s simply jump embers waiting to reignite and put racism to the flames. There are plenty of Sinatra’s out there ready to fight the inequities again...should the racists dare
@@RatPackish No doubt!!! No trying to speak for all black people, but from my point of view, I saw the best and worst of people in 2020.
I now know I have to deal with the individual as they come into my orbit, and the best and worst of humanity came into my orbit in 2020. With that, any pre-judging of people based on color or whatever is now a no-no for me, because I learned in 2020, everybody is gonna show what they are about, for the better or the worse. Luckily I met and and observed a hell of a lot more of the "better" that I anticipated, so that's not a bad thing......
@@dxwallace55 2020 was a beacon for just that. We learned about those around us and what their true intent is. Let’s smoke those who want to destroy us out!
He was a complicated cat. He despised racism but he could be a real jerk and hothead toward people around him but then he was also extremely generous and would fly across the country to visit someone in a hospital or things like that. He loved Billy Holiday and studied her singing to improve his singing style.
So weird that he hated racists and thought racism was utterly retarded, yet he was a "hothead" and could be "mean" to people.
My brain literally cannot handle it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy!!!!!!!!! Smh.
@@finished6267 He was just one of those people who was hard to figure out. His temper went toward people's ticking him off over stuff that displeased him but he hated racism which he saw as stupid because it judged people on the race they were born to. But he could be incredibly kind also. A guy with many moods.
@@finished6267 I don't get why this is difficult to comprehend, surely we're all like this? Aren't there flawed and unjust social structures against which you take a stand, and yet at the same time aren't you the crankiest asshole when somebody disturbs your sleep or interrupts you whilst you're concentrating on your work? This is me all over. One can carry an essential goodness in one's heart and yet have fits of temper that would cause others to doubt that it ever existed. Perhaps the real test is in self-reflection once the blood is no longer up, and in offering a sincere apology where one is required.
I think what Finished!!!!!! was going for was that it shouldn't be seen as strange that a guy with a temper (or any other negative character trait) could be capable of not being racist - as though not being racist was something only saints could do - rather than being the absolute baseline thing to be considered a decent human being
Frank is so cool and if you’ve never heard his music then go listen to it.
@Flashheart Then, your loss.
Please note, "too" only means "also," and "to" is the other one. As in "Going to."
@Flashheart Then you won’t listen to his music.
I doubt anyone in the west hasn't listened to one of his songs at least once
Frank: I'd like to speak with the CEO of racism.
*Loads tommygun with malicious intent. *
Having been born in 42 it was while watching a documentary about him that I realized there wasn't a time in my life that there wasn't a Frank Sinatra song in the background. I consider that a plus.
Not saying he was perfect but he didn't let it stop him from doing immeasurably good things. RIP❤️
That's why he was Chairman of the Board.
One of my favorite albums was “ Nat King Cole at the Sands”. On the cover was the marquis in front of the hotel with his name. What sucked was that he was not allowed to Stay there or eat in the dining room. This was only 60 years ago.
1960, 1961, racism was still more out in the open than it is today, with public segregation, blacks not being allowed in certain hotels, restaurants, buses, restrooms, etc. Just a few years later, good ol' Martin made some changes with that. In spite of his sad ending. What's sad is that the hate is not gone today, it's not even that much better, it's just less public. There will always be haters, I wish it wasn't so
@blksbbth d Modern “black” music is vapid, schlock garbage compared to what Quincy Jones, Sammy Davis Jr., Oscar Petersen, Ike Turner, John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock achieved in so little time. When you have lowest common denominator trash like Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion being hailed as “culturally significant” by today’s society just because they’re black then there is a serious problem.

Frank was around such amazing musicians, many of color, he had to have skills to just keep up. 😂. Glad he stood up for the black community at that time in history.
No doubt his family experienced some racism. It makes me proud as a sicilian to know he tried to protect his friends as there is history between sicily and africa
I Love You Quincy
He respected the music and the GAME. It didn’t matter what color you were. He didn’t have time for ANY bullshit, much less racism. 👍

There should be a big picture, major studio biopic of Frank. In the same vein as Jamie Foxx's Ray.

That’s the difference between Frank and today’s artist. Artist today are all talk but no action. Frank is all action
Leave us not forget, in the 70's he invited Malcolm-X and MARTIN LUTHER KING to join the Rat-Pack.
He was a little late
Pretty sure they were both dead by then, but they are probably all drinking scotch and smoking cigars in the big lounge room in the sky
Frank Sinatra was a great soul. He grew up poor and faced anti-Italian discrimination too. As he was poor and talented he must have run across countless talented young blacks that were as talented or more talented than himself, and some might have even influenced him. Many I sure growing up poor became great friends with him and he had to be outraged that people oppressed at one point like him were being mistreated. He was great just for not turning a blind eye but using his influence to desegregate Vegas and support his Black friends. A great man!!!
Frank Sinatra will never be forgotten his music is too legendary.

I can hardly hear the video
I'm not racist and I heard it just fine 🤔🤔🤔
Me neither, and I've got my PC volume as high as it will go.
I heard that he made sure Nat King Cole was sat next to him when they were both at events even when the dinning rooms where segregated.
I was fortunate to see Frank perform live at the Hammersmith Odeon (now the Apollo) in June 1962, and to also meet Sammy at Bentley Priory, Stanmore in Sept ‘67. The Sinatra tickets cost 5/- (25p) each. The best value ever. I have also visited his grave in Palm Desert, California a couple of times also.
I respect someone who is against racism and goes out of there way to prove it.
Frankie blue eyes stood up for what is right there is no reason to look down on other races there is good and bad where ever you go. Weather and seasons change unfortunately some people do not 😔

The sad thing about this is that he switched to the GOP and supported Reagan, which policies were pretty racist.
Yeh.......NO
He wasn't a superhero, he just used his high status and prestige to stand up against the harshest most humiliating form of segregation the US practiced against Blacks back in the mid 20th century. That's it nothing more nothing less.
LBJ and all the governors in the south in the 60s were Democrats. LBJ is on tape using the N word all over the place. Democrats were the first racists in this country, and still are to this day.
At the Oscars, Sammy Davis wore a caftan. Sinatra was quoted as saying, “He looks like a headwaiter in a rib joint somewhere.”
