Ethnicity, race…and music

I recently found this photo online. If you know jazz, you probably know who they are, and I think it’s from when they toured together.
But one thing I thought of: in the U.S., this is a picture of a white man and a black man. If you don’t know the individuals, would you be able to tell who was who ?

I would only guess. The one showing his teeth looks more Hispanic than African American. I did notice that in old photos of your family that you once posted when I first gotten to know you. I think you also posted pics of baby you 👶

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Yes, I used to have them in my album.

@bijouxbroussard I remember and noticed you had removed them when I checked out your pics again a while back.

@tindrummer Yes, I felt a bit paranoid awhile back.

@bijouxbroussard Better safe than sorry on social media - eh? 😎

@tindrummer Indeed. I forget what prompted it…I think someone complained that her photos had been copied and reposted. I really only provided access of that album to friends (like you, Piecing and a few others) but all of a sudden the site felt unsafe.
