someone once said that not all blacks are cool, but when they are, they are the coolest people in the world. funny how this kind of remark can polarize people so much. anyway, I think it's probably true. you just have to be stringent when throwing around words like "cool".
Wiuf----Well, it's been years since I read it,but his comments were relevant to some behavior by american blacks or anyone,basically, who's trying to be "cool "or is jive-assing around ----and is being observed by someone on acid.It's sad--maybe even tragic that the observed behavior under the condition I mentioned-- is/was so unnecessary and seemingly phony,particularly relative to the general mindset of the 60s counter -culture that valued up-front honesty and being genuine to the core.Jive-assin' around may be indulged in by everyone at some time or another,but to live it----------I don't think it works on many levels.
i wanna be cool. but i don't wanna change myself. i just don't have the energy. i don't know how, either.
the dead are the coolest people, and of them the ones whose bodies are in the far north are likely the coolest, and since people up there tend to be white, i suspect that most of the coolest people are actually white. then again, i suppose it's possible that the few blacks who died in the far north are actually a degree or two cooler than average...
For some reason this thread reminds me of this song Just be thankful for what you've got Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac Gangsta whitewalls TV antennas in the back You may not have a car at all But remember brothers and sisters You can still stand tall Just be thankful for what you've got Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac Diamond in the back, sunroof top Diggin' the scene With a gangsta lean Gangsta whitewalls TV antennas in the back Diamond in the back, sunroof top Diggin' the scene With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh Hotwater
