I'd hazard a guess that there are many elvis fans here who possibly "Wouldn't" hear his alleged comments even if they were two foot away and he was shouting through a giant megaphone. There's noting wrong with loyalty but lets try and see passed your icon and see the facts or non facts.
If you count me as an Elvis fan, then that is a very presumptuous comment - you have a lot to learn about being on AB.
For the record (no pun meant), I am not.
Perhaps the comments made from the AB community reflect opinion at large; once again, that this is not a matter of substance and does not impact on the importance or appreciation of his music.

Whilst this issue may dearly matter to you, the rest of us are basing our answers on our impressions of him and his behaviour.
He certainly didn't behave in a racist manner, and if he had done, it is quite possible that we would ascribe that to his upbringing in the *Deep South*....
If you are wanting a more robust exchange of accusation and counter-accusation, I think you'd be better off in either a different section, or a different forum.
