Transcending Race

President Obama is a perfect example of how a pot smoking teen of beautiful color can become President of the U.S.A.

... elevating himself above any people place or thing that could weigh him down & hold him back in his own environment

 

The 10 teens of beautiful color that just severely beat a young white man in Baltimore's little Italy while he was walking home from work (a job at a restaurant) this past July weekend, if President Obama had a son he would most likely look just like any one of those 10 teens. In fact, 35 years ago that could've been him ... anyone of those 10 being charged as adults because the beating was so severe http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2013/07/26/mob-of-teens-brutally-attack-man-in-heart-of-little-italy/

 

 

"Excuse me while I kiss the sky!"

 

 = How to Transcend Race

 

 

Jimi Hendrix did not cultivate an image of someone to be feared that is a violent offender.

And even although Nixon paranoia dictated that white American fathers should be suspicious & fear Jimi Hendrix and his cult of personality because he was part of the "counter culture" movement you did not fear him as a menacing young black male.

And, correlating evidence with this notion is that to people under 30 at that time of Jimi  Hendrix was a sign & symbol of "freedom" ... freedom to break-on-through-to-the-otherside and empower & enlighten people with a most incredible kind of guitar playing, music, songs, lyrical poetry.

"And I said fly on my sweet angel - fly on through the sky - fly on my sweet angel - and tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side" ...

Transcending race is something that Jimi did and still does. .. because he cultivated that image and lived it. .. so, until this day, Jimi Hendrix transcends race.
