Jimi Hendrix was a black man, born in Seattle in 1942. He never once complained about segregation or racism, when discussing his childhood there.

There's a photo of him in a school class picture from the 50s. He's one of maybe two black kids in the whole class. Looks like a happy kid to me.

In a class of 25 you would expect on average 3 black kids. That’s it if the entire country had a nearly perfect distribution of blacks. Very few blacks I know will tolerate living in an area with less than 30% black. Which means whole swaths of America have very few black people and it’s not because they are racists. I have been in plenty of those communities all across the country and generally speaking the few blacks in those places have celebrity status.
