Wait a minute... "Macho Man" Randy Savage was secretly half black?

[Heelish]

This part is from an interview with his brother "The Genius" Lanny Poffo from March 22, 2005:

Lanny mentions his parents will be celebrating their 56th anniversary this year and asks if he may perform a poem. James says fire away.

Today in 1949, my parents made a vow.

And I think it's amazing they're still together now.

Mixed marriages, by nature, never seem to get on track.

You know my mother's Jewish, you know my dad is black.

But he passes for Italian and we keep his secret well.

So Angelo and Judy can spend 50 years in Hell.

But I for one am grateful and my brother feels the same.

We're glad from which we've come from, we're glad from which we came.

We love our parents very much. We're proud that we were born.

Though others wish, in retrospect, two condoms had been worn.

But I insist we've had the best so pour a glass of wine.

And lets get drunk to June the Fifth, 1949.

Lol wut

Wait....did the Genius just imply that his parents will be in hell for an interractial marriage or did I misread that?

I took that as tongue-in-cheek/sarcastic since society, especially back then, looked down on their mixed marriage. So since they decided to get married, they'll "go to hell" for it. He follows it up with saying that he and Macho are glad their parents got together and are proud of where they came from.

As a kid I thought macho Man was black. It was until I was almost grown when I found out he wasn't. I knew no white man can have that much swag

he said 'beauty is a high premium'

so he doesnt believe the story to be true because stephanie is ugly and randy and hm like pretty girls.
