No, SRV was all white, but his friends say he hated himself for it, he
wished he were black. Patowski's book "Caught in the Crossfire" is a
great book with tons of information on SRV's life.

He was 100% white. The pics you've seen where from artists combining
pics of Hendrix and Vaughan together. Crazy...huh?

SRV was 100% white correct, but two things about him can make you
think otherwise. Number one, he broke his nose at a young age thus
flattening it out ala a black person (I refuse to call anyone a
X-american). Number two, he desperately wanted to be black. Robert
Cray told the story of back when they were both young guns on the
chitlin circuit and he came into SRV's motel room only to find him in
blackface wearing an afro wig with Hendrix turned up to 10, playing
guitar in front of a mirror.

Stevie and Derek Trucks should be proof that reincarnation exists. SRV
as a black bluesman, and Derek as Duane Allman 2.0.
