Do African Americans like Jimi Hendrix or do they think he was a sellout?

Answer 1

First of all, sweetie, your approach is all wrong. You cannot think of any ethic group, as a group of people with one mind and, or one mindset. Just by virtue of the fact that you are asking about Hendrix leads me to believe you are old enough to know better than to ask such a question and target an entire race of people to get ONE answer. To get close to an answer, you would need to ask a more intelligent question. Your question here is based on some sort of racists bigoted ignorant presumption. I imagine if I see a question further down in the list with a query of "do all African Americans eat fried chicken" that would be your question also. People are people Blacks, Whites, Hispanics we all have varying tastes, likes and dislikes. The sooner EVERYONE gets a handle on that the sooner we will be able to accomplish and achieve a higher level of intelligence. Not to mention the fact that Hendrix is still just as dead regardless of what anyone thinks.

Answer 2

Africans cherish Jimi Hendrix.

Answer 3

Hmm. You would have to ask older African Americans that question who were around when we was alive and well for the true answer. As for me an 18 year old African American. I'm into rock music and I knew about him but I never really had an opinion about him until a few months ago when I started listening to a few of his songs. Turned out I like them. I still don't know much about him music wise, but I like him. I don't see why he would be consider a sell out. Why, just because he was a black man playing rock music? That's just dumb.

Answer 4

I love Jimi! Though I can't and won't speak for everyone. This is a dumb question only awhite person would ask.

Answer 5

This African American thinks he was a musical prodigy.

Answer 6

Nothing is true for ALL members within a group of people.

Answer 7

He was a very innovative guitar player with unique rifs of his own.
No sell-out.

Answer 8
