Document Summary

Don"t cry, ma: mezzrow learned how to play the sax/cornet in pontiac reformatory school. Earlier quote on the page is that he fly right now . The idea that he is a black man can"t be the answer. I disagree with it as an answer: i heard the blues for the first time, sung in low moanful chants morning, noon and night. From how i see it, whiteness is inextricably tied into this. White folks were evading lawful prosecution from countries in. Europe particularly, they were original gangsters killing people and went to several world wars over the right to make those laws. So this view is all types of wrong. Pre-holocaust white folks came over and colonized regardless of religious affiliation. The greyness here of saying that he wasn"t a citizen nor a stereotype is literally whiteness. Being a jew for many people may have not been in print but jewish people were perceived to do hella things.
