Very informative video. He was indeed gorgeous. Perfect cheekbones and bone structure. He was taken advantage of to some extent. This is a case where the fast life moved too fast. Caught up with him at too young an age.
AIDS was so tragic. It devastated a generation. One of the youngest and earliest victims was a 16yr old from NYC. In the early 60’s, the doctors couldn’t figure out what kind of “flu” he had. They saved samples from him and when the AIDS epidemic broke out, those doctors remembered this patient. They checked his samples and he had AIDS. Epidemiologists think AIDS has been with us for centuries but never became an epidemic until the general public began having sex with multiple partners. 😢
I wish there was more known about him. His identity is such a mystery. He was definitely an attractive man by societal standards. I'd dare say that the reason he was considered attractive by mainstream society is because his features mimic European features in his bone structure and the blue contacts further gave that illusion which I don't think was necessary. If anything the unnatural looking contacts may have caught attention but they detracted from his natural handsomeness. I think a lot of black people bought into the idea of seeing European standards as more attractive and because of that some of our people tried to assimilate to those standards but in the end it came across like a costume. It would have been great to see more images of him in all of his natural African glory.
He was sold for pennies by his poor family in Brazil by a sick twisted black male actor name Raymond who pimped him out to other sick down low men in Hollywood
He was hauntingly beautiful. So sad. He looks like Phillip Michael Thomas but even better looking.. the young Stedman from 5 Star also looked a bit like him.

WHAT HAPPENED TO STERLING WAS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE JUST LIKE HIM IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY. NOT EVEN BEAUTY CAN SAVE YOU FROM TRAGEDY.
