Ed Bradley is black?

I read online Friday that Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes has died. In the article, I read that he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Black Journalists. I thought to myself, "Ed Bradley is black?" I looked more carefully at his picture:



I didn't think he looked very black, and I could see how someone like me might be confused into thinking he was Persian.

This is what a black man looks like. Notice the difference?
