stfu my guy

jimi hendrix is nothing like tyler the coon.

some “alternative black people” are the same ones who say that corny “too black for white kids too white for black kids” and they end up hanging out with mostly white people.

some of these are the same ones who’ll never date a black person.

the rest of us (obviously not all) liked things that were from the norm of what a black people are “supposed” to like. we weren’t saying any of that s***. sure we got clowned by different people but that was the past where people behaved a lot more stereotypically out of fear of being clowned.

Mods won’t lock dumb s*** like this though.

fr bro these guys acting like you talking about geology

He ran away cause of family problems and that wasn't even the only time he was homeless

He was a street artist, that did graffiti something prominent in black culture. How is he an alternative black person

And where are u getting this idea that he was underappreciated by black people when he was alive

Ehhh. There were a few street niggas that rapped about s*** similar to Tyler but they got a pass cause they were hood niggas and they made music for the hood.

Tyler came into the game on some suburban s***. That’s why he was viewed differently by a lot of black people

But that’s your experience bruh, that’s my point. You’re not speaking based on statistical facts, it’s all anecdotal.

If anything in MY experience, black people tend to show extra love to one of ours, especially towards those that exist in spaces where we normally do not frequent. Sort of like how niggas will make an exception and watch golf when Tiger Woods is on.

yes i think people might have been misinterpreting your point partly. during Jimi's lifetime white people were his main audience and the black radio stations didnt really play him like that, and he was trying to "re claim" more of his black audience at one point. another reason why is that his career originally took off in the UK (his bandmates were brits) so of course had tons more white fans come from that area along with the white people in the industry there. the scene he was in, even his girlfriends etc. were mostly white people and if i bet you just google pictures of him you can find way more with white people than black. if you look at concert videos, the audiences are white

i can't speak from the black perspective, only the Hendrix stan perspective but i found an article that uses the same terminology you did "alt": popmatters.com/132700-jimi-hendrix-the-patron-saint-of-alt-blackness-2496118707.html

i understand what he means before it used to be a lot weird for black people especially to listen to music outside of rap or have hobbies outside of certain sports/music etc

but that wasn’t just because of black people calling other black people white.

a lot of things were unavailable for black people even now today, you would rarely see black people in horseback riding, water polo etc

the music example is different cos black people have always been thriving there

art and fashion though was also unavailable to black people in that way.

He was getting in trouble and skipping school and s*** that’s why

Nigga I already explained how

And yes he was. He just started getting prominice from a lot of black like in 2011

Bro thank you for this this is exactly what I was saying. You put it all together I hope they read this and see what i was sayin

I honestly think the Internet just made you more aware that black people like “alternative” s*** too but I’ma let you rock now

Come on bro lol. You seriously can’t see where OP is coming from?

Where u from cause that aint the case for me at all and what I seen and research’s and I promise the majority don’t do dat. Tiger woods only cause gold is all white and he somewhat black that’s why ppl care about him

That's not why lol

U didn't....

Where u getting this stat from

Carson, CA

?

I get it completely, I just disagree

good post

Why then ?

I did bro go look back and see

I got it from seeing it yeah that’s personally my experience but it’s true

Look at rv post on the situation and tell me I’m wrong

Ion know nothing about Carson California either so cool

bro i can't wait to be glamrock black
I'm so tired of being a grunge African American

So you think black people were f***ing w Jimmy in the 60s like they f***ed w Motown for example?

That ain’t what time I’m on u misunderstood read rv post

Family issues

This ?

"His parents he was from the good part of Brooklyn he was always with white folks and he was in the white art world but he was aware just like Jimi was yall act dumb"

And that's my point, that's solely ur own exp
