Elvis often toured with black background singers and a lot of his music is derived from black blues, gospel, and r&b of the period. At the end of the day, he appropriated a lot of black music, made it popular, and also ermployed a lot of black musicians. Now that doesn't necessarily make him NOT RACIST, but I think he was pretty progressive for his time. To flat out call him "racist" is a bit far fetched IMO.
