However, many Black folks seem to be conflicted after several disheartening interview clips resurfaced of the actor making comments that disparage Black women.In one undated CBS News interview, while sitting next to his first wife Julienne Marie — whom he divorced in 1972 — Jones is asked why he doesn’t date Black women, to which he responds calling Black women “uptight.”

He continued saying Black women were “goin to a more militant attitude about their own identity” citing that because of slavery, Black women were becoming more masculine.
